I never got to try them out, it's an awful plaza to get in and out of so I rarely go in there. Definitely not a place I'm going to hit on the way to work every day.
We went there once, and their donuts were pretty good. I sure wish we’d get a Duck Donuts around here, who has some interesting flavors that you can’t find anywhere else. I believe that Duck Donuts opened their first store at the beach, and now they’ve got a store in Cary, but JoCo would be much improved by their presence here.
The donut shop never opened in the first place! They put the sign up, I started to see some activity inside, then they put the paper up on the windows. And...nothing after that. The sign is backlit, so someone's at least paying an electric bill there. I, um... go to Cookout more than I should, so I see the donut shop regularly. ETA: Wait, DWK, you said you ate there once? Was it open for only a day? I never saw it open.
Kind of a bad location. I never really knew it was there unless i was going to just tires to get an oil change. Would of probably been better off by sallys beauty supplies or in the wal mart plaza next to where the dominos went. Traffic on 40/42 area is just getting so bad. I try to avoid that whole area
Smithers, we went there on the very first day that they opened. We wanted coffee to go with the baked goods that we got, but we were told that day that they “didn’t serve coffee”. We found that to be a little unusual, so we never went back.
Wow, they weren't open very long at all, then. I go to the Cookout at least once a week and never saw the donut shop open, so I assumed they never opened to begin with. Very odd they lasted such a short time.
Several websites I could find said they have not opened yet but still plan to. I can't find a contact or phone number.
It might be that we’re talking about two different places. The one we went to in that vicinity was a mom and pop bakery that had all kinds of baked goods, and not just donuts. That was several years ago, not recently, and we usually skip that whole area now because of traffic. I’ll have to drive over there and double check if you’re talking about a new place that I haven’t seen before. Thanks.
Bratton Dr, next to the Cookout. The space that's between the laundromat and the smoke shop, two doors down from Jersey Mike's.
Thanks for the picture. Looks like you went to CookOut again! My husband and I only remember the interior of the bakery, and the general location in that plaza. We remember that the bakery cases were close to the entryway, leaving little space to maneuver once you got through the door, and neither of us recall that they had any tables in there to sit at. It appeared to be a “take-out” bakery, if there is such a thing. And with a lack of coffee on the day that we were there, and no tables, I wouldn’t be surprised if that bakery we went to that one time, went out of business, and this donut shop you’re talking about is a new business altogether. With so many places coming and going, it’s hard to keep track, but I’ll try to find out what’s going on, or if someone out there knows anything, they can post it here.
I wonder if you are speaking of the bakery that was in the little strip of stores behind the Smithfield's Chicken and BBQ?
Well, I’m not sure. Any business that says the dreaded words “no coffee served” to me, and I just immediately scratch them off from my list of places to visit. Who wants to enjoy a nice baked good without coffee? How many bakeries have been over there, and on the other side near Jersey Mike’s, over the years anyway? I think that bakery was close to where Jersey Mike’s is, and not in the other direction, and my husband insists that he remembers that it was near Jersey Mike’s, but who knows.
Good Lord. Now you’re taking our memories of a bakery that most likely went out of business years ago personally? And just as we were having such a rare, pleasant exchange.
This is a restaurant and food thread. Unless you can manage to stay on topic, or have something pertinent to add to the conversation about bakeries or donuts, or something else food-related, you can take your bland, tasteless trolling elsewhere.
Oh, dang ,, here I thought you were talking about coffee and I responded as such, not sure how you think that was taking it off topic. I apologize if I offended you with my coffee comment. At least ACW liked your post.
The “topic” was actually about a little bakery in that area, and the lack of coffee was just a side mention, Donuthole.
