Yummy Donuts & Ice Cream

Donuts were great. Too bad they closed.

This place opened when I was a teenager and whole groups of us would walk there just for the Blueberry Cake donuts. We kept going there while working down the street as Lifeguards, or pull straws to see who would do a «Yummy’s Run!» The other popular favorite was/​still is the big Sausage Rolls. Anything they serve I’ve probably had over the years waking from MCT pool and I can honestly say when I come home from college this is one of my favorite local business staples of my hometown. I hope the good people who work there know how many fans they have!

This place was well worth the drive. The bonus bag donut holes was a very nice touch. More restaurant should do things like that. I little bit goes a long way. I also felt good supporting this local businesses. I’ll be skipping the «chain» places from now on and going here for my donut fix!

Friendly place, good prices, good donuts. I don’t have a problem with the chains, but supporting a local place feels good. Especially when it’s a quality one like this.

Quality product and friendly staff, only complaint s that it gets rather unorganized at busy times and they don’t seem to have a good «system» for taking orders, receiving payment, and preparing the order. This gets frustrating when you expect to be in the shop for 5 – 10 minutes and it winds up taking closer to 20, just to get a bagel and a few donuts. All in all, I would recommend this place, I just ish thy would expedite their customer service.

Definitely agree with everyone else here that the donuts are WAY better than the other major chain alternatives. You can also feel good about supporting a small local business.
I love the glazed donut, they are fluffy with a slight crispyness on the outside and just plain YUMMY.
Being from New Jersey, I am a bit of a bagel snob, but I still think that the bagels are better than some of the other alternatives nearby.

These really are yummy donuts, the best I’ve had in a long time. Of the two major donut chains, one has mostly abandoned its namesake pastries to become a coffee retailer; it still sells the things, but they’re no longer made in-​store and they’ve tasted sad and stale for the past several years now. The other chain sells a slick product that’s just… too much for me.
I needed to buy some donuts for a group the other day, and I didn’t know what to expect but the hordes of regulars inside the shop set my mind at ease. So did a bite of a maple-​frosted donut: it was just sweet enough, with lots of fresh flavor and no greasy shortening taste. My tasters gave high marks to the blueberry cake donuts and the chocolate-​glazed donuts, among others. My only complaint is that the selection was picked over by 9 o’clock when I got there. Let’s hope that as the place grows in popularity it will scale up donut production accordingly.

Any critique of a donut place is going to be rather harsh because I’ve been searching for a replacement for the Fractured Prune with no luck. I found this place while looking to eat lunch at the Thai place nearby, who despite professing hours of operation from 11 – 10 was closed for all 25 minutes that I waited at 2pm.
As a fan of cake donuts, these flour donuts did not really amaze me. I did get a bag of donut holes thrown is with my order (after they got it wrong), but after I ate my chocolate iced with peanuts donut I felt like I had wasted the calories. They also were almost out of merchandise at 2 in the afternoon which was another reason I suspected they were giving away the holes. What was SUPER delicious, even almost a week later because I had put it in a plastic baggie and forgotten about it, was the cinnamon roll I bought. It alone means that if I’m in the area again, I’ll probably stop by to get another.
All in all, lackluster. I really can’t understand the rave reviews. Other than the fact that it is really cheap, even for a donut place.

Instead of going to Mc Donalds and get some crap, go to Yummy donuts they have good donuts and good colombian coffee.
Staff is very friendly as well.
Highly recommended.

Crummy, not Yummy.
When this place opened, I went in, saw what they had to offer, and figured they would last not more then 6 months. But here we are, 6 years later, and with some reviewers giving them high marks.
Perhaps there is something I missed?
No. I missed nothing. The donuts are identical to the ones off the shelf at Shoppers Food Warehouse, except that SFW has much more variety and half the price. «Yummy» apparently buys plain donuts in bulk from SFW, then adds their own icing or filling.
Perhaps the additions were especially good?
No. They had strawberry, «Bavarian crème», and lemon when I went in. All were entirely artificial and tasted like the cans they came in. Horrible stuff, and again I would have been better with the fillings used by SFW.
Perhaps they make up for it with good service?
Since «Yummy» charges $ 1.19 per donut, or a half dozen for $ 4.89, I bought a half dozen. Apparently no one buys a half dozen, so the clerk packed 6 donuts into a box with room for four. She pressed the lid down to force it closed, then taped it shut. Our 6 yummy donuts were now compressed into lumps of sugary dough with their fillings bursting out the sides. Oh, she did fill a small bag with donut holes as an «extra». That is hardly worth paying an exorbitant price for a box of donuts I would be embarrassed to serve.
I can only conclude that there must be *something* going on in the back room that keeps them in business. There was no one else in the shop when we went in. Once is surely enough for anyone, and there aren’t enough newcomers to keep them busy. The reviews I read giving this place high marks MUST be owners and employees. Nothing will convince me otherwise, since this place is WORSE than I thought 6 years ago.
If you want donuts, go ANYWHERE else. Buy a frozen box. Find a day-​old Hostess outlet. I am now furious about the liars who gave this place a good review.

Absolutely THE BEST donuts ANYWHERE. Light and so delicious. Try eating just one. But get there early weekends. The place usually sells out long before noon. Great sweets! I want some now!

These donuts live up to their name. Yummy.
These are the best donuts… ever…period.
The rest of the food is also pretty good.
My only complaint is the coffee sucks… bad.

Made a trip to this place to get some non-​chain made doughnuts (which are hard to come by these days). Cake doughnuts were delicious and liked how they added jelly or crème to their glazed doughnuts on the spot so they didn’t get soggy inside. I’m a fan. Excited to go back to get a dozen.

This is a great Doughnut and Bagel shop within the Redland Shopping Center off of Muncaster Mill Rd and Redland Rd. It is privately owned and the owners wake up early every morning to make their food fresh and continue making fresh doughnuts all day. It’s great quality and though it may be a bit more expensive, I would recommend them over Dunkin Doughnuts any day.
Whenever I bring a box of doughnuts to work from Yummy Donuts, everyone asks where I got them and comments on how good they are.

I had a whole wheat bagel w/​veggie cream cheese. It wasn’t fantastic but it was fresh and better than, say, Dunkin’ Donuts’ bagels.
The place was clean, spacious, and comfortable and the employees were pleasant as well.

Excellent donuts.
These donuts have a great taste and texture, and the glaze is fantastic. They fill the donuts (with jelly or cream) to order, so they are never soggy on the inside.
As noted by other Unilocalers, the best part is that they throw in a handful of donut holes with most any order. A great snack to munch on.

Couldn’t agree more with the other reviewers about excellent customer service and amazingly yummy donuts. I just wanted to throw in a a shout out to their super awesome egg and cheese bagel sandwiches! Tasty bagels, real eggs and a slice of American. Seriously, in my opinion, these things are better than Izzy’s (plus, they come with a few donut holes!)
Go there. Eat things. Yummy.
p. s. As of last weekend, they do have ice cream again. Haven’t tried it, but there were some good flavors.

First off, I must admit I’m biased towards this review, because I knew the original owner, and came up with the name for it. Yes it’s a bit cocky to proclaim the yummyness of your food in your name, but sometimes you should dare to be great as well.
Anyway, on to the donuts.
I’ve only been here twice since the new owners took over years ago, but I believe they kept the same recipes as everything was as divine as I remembered. I’m not sure what variety they have nowadays, but my favorites were the classic glazed, and chocolate topped glazed donut with shredded coconut on top. The texture is always perfectly chewy as a donut should be, not too much resistance like cake, but it encourages you to give it a little bite for foreplay. What sets things apart here as well is the chocolate they top the donuts with, as it’s not too sweet, and reminiscent of higher quality confections you’d find at Harry and David’s. Cake donuts aren’t my usual fair, but I appreciated the texture of the ones here, and of course they make a bomb apple fritter.
It’s a shame they don’t do ice cream anymore as it was a nice touch, and I hope they’re able to survive the economy, because the donuts are truly the best I’ve ever had. Stop by if you want a good donut, or just like to spite places by testing their namesake.

She Said…“Thanks to Unilocal we went and ate at yummy donuts this morning. It wasnt excatly what i expected but it was definatley yummy! It looked pretty slow for a sunday morning… and they dont serve ice cream anymore. They also didnt have many different kinds of donuts, which was what i was excepting for ⁴¹⁄₂ stars/​. We got a dozen and they were all pretty good. I liked the strawberry glazed.”
He Said…“What happened to the Ice Cream part… They don’t serve ice cream anymore… kinda sucks. So it didn’t look like I expected from a place called yummy, but the donuts were good. They are fresh and you can tell that they bake them there everyday. The donuts were airy and very doughy… I would go back here, not for ice cream though. since they had a paper sign posted over the ice cream flavors saying… no ice cream… sorry.”

The problem with convincing friends to join Unilocal,and to Unilocal about their experiences is that they tend to snipe your FTR. In this case, it’s not Esther’s fault, it’s mine, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still pout about it. My husband had brought in donuts to their office, and Esther raved about them on twitter. Talking about food on twitter? What’s the point, right? So I kindly nudged (harassed) Esther in posting a Unilocal review, forgetting that I had not yet reviewed Yummy Donuts myself, therefore, giving the eloquent and lovely Esther, the FTR. Boo on me, I know, I should have checked before nudging her, but there you go.
Yes, I know, I’m giving dear Esther grief, but really, I’m glad that she got the FTR, as she did *technically* eat a Yummy Donut before I did, and her review (
) succinctly said what is going to take me all 5000 characters to say.
I think it takes a certain amount of brass somethings to brazenly call your establishment «Yummy Donuts». It flat out sets up expectations and raises the bar. Plus it commits the sin that I hate most about any establishment — cutsy names. I realize that some of the «cutsy» is to make the restaurant memorable, however, if a place feels that strong a need to have a cute and memorable name, it tends to make me wonder what is wrong with their food. Why can’t the food stand on it’s own, right?
Like every rule, there are exceptions, and Yummy Donuts is one of them. Their donuts are slightly larger then Dunkin (and way bigger then Krispy), fluffy but with sustenance, light but with a delicious texture, and sweet enough to complement that morning (or afternoon) coffee but not to a point where your mouth feels like it’s going into insulin shock. Marvelous! This type of yumminess can only come of homemade donuts, the love and care that the owners pour into their batter can be tasted with every bite.
Although Yummy Donuts is a tiny bit more expensive then Dunkin or Krispy (89 cents per donut), they make it worth your while. Besides that you get more donut for your money, the other great thing about going to local mom and pop establishments is that they want to make you happy and want you to feel the love that they pour into their foods. If you buy more then one donut, they will throw in a couple of free donut holes! My husband bought me two donuts, and there were 3 or 4 donut holes in my bag! When he bought a couple dozen for his office, they gave him a baggie full of donut holes! There is something utterly endearing about these free donut holes; sort of like getting a lollipop after visiting the doctor.
The odd thing is that I don’t even like sweets! Although I’m a huge fan of the hot glazed Krispy Kreme donut, I can also easily resist after just having one. After the first bite into my glazed Yummy Donut, I just craved more (those free donut holes came in handy!)!
Yummy Donuts also has ice cream, which I have yet to try. I can only imagine that their ice cream probably tastes as delicious and rich and marvelously full of love as their donuts. When the weather gets warmer, I’ll venture for a cone.
I highly recommend Yummy Donuts for when you have «donut duty» for your Friday morning meetings… however, I also recommend that you throw two of them in a bag and hide them in your cube. Your coworkers will surely inhale them before you have a chance to set them down. YUMMY!
