Greatest building ever built.

I've never actually tried a donut here before but I felt that I had to write a reveiw. Who doesnt like a giant donut-shaped building on a busy street? I do know for a fact that it's very popular with local people though.

It's The Quality!

Sort of reminds Me of the tram ride at Universal Studios as one is passing through the spinning tunnel - an amusing optical illusion.

Established in 1956 c.e., The Donut Hole preserves a past {un}orthodoxy with character and quality in both service and luscious edibles. One can spot this landmark blocks away; a certain 'dominant mass', definitely asserting the 'lighthouse effect' upon the environment, complimenting the area with its aesthetic prominence.

For the optimum experience, you do not even have to leave the comfort of your automobile while you drive up "Donut Lane" {there is an actual sign}, while the savory scent of these fresh confections fill the air with tempting olfactory delights. However, a walk-up window is also available for additional convenience. In addition, coffee, cocoa, and even soda are also offered to accompany your portion if so desired.

One does their ordering to the left, while on the right, one may observe 'the works', as it were, showcasing a windowed room filled with several fantabulous donut-making contraptions. If one arrives at the right moment, one can even witness these delectable aliments being prepared right before your eyes. All sorts of imaginable donuts are offered therein, from crullers to bear claws to sprinkled and jelly-filled comestibles. Even the "donut holes" themselves!

Whether for single consumption or sharing, dessert after a nutritious meal, for a brief "snackrifice" or sit-down enjoyment with a loved one and entertainment pleasure, the "Drac's dozen" is recommended*.

* That is to say, in this case, the price for larger-sized donuts are a small bit more than a usual dozen, but well worth the inclusion.

• Pros: Convenience, quick service
