Doors open at 5 AM. The regulars say that early start is the whole secret:
These doughnuts are so delicious, the owner wakes up and bakes everything fresh each morning! ... I'd venture to say these are the best doughnuts in Dallas!

Family-run, and reviewers notice. Down to checking for peanut allergies before a donut goes in the box.
Beautiful donuts that are absolutely delicious! The woman behind the counter was very sweet... She made sure to ask if the peanut topped donut was okay before putting it in the box.
