Daylight Donuts

We always enjoy going to local shops but left this one feeling unimpressed. Staff is not very welcoming, and the donuts are nothing to make a special trip for. Limited choices, dry and disappointing.

Well, I am a bit of a do-​nut connoisseur, and I love trying as many as possible. I stopped in one morning on the way home from work and decided to try them out.
I ordered half a dozen, they are kind of like a mix between Dunkin’ and Paul’s. This was OK with me, and there was a decent selection. The only problem was, I walked in while wearing my police bicycle patrol uniform and I got all kinds of stares and glares from the staff. I don’t really care, and it was kind of funny to see them staring at me while I was happily embracing the stereotype of «the police loving donuts», but at the same time I got that feeling that maybe I wasn’t welcome. This is St. Charles, not St. Louis, and usually it’s not the reaction I am used to in this area. I am a very social fellow, who loves to talk to the staff, but the only one who was willing to make eye contact was the woman who served me the donuts. Then, after I walked out, I noticed a few of the girls inside continued to glare at me while I got into my personal car and drove away.
I don’t think the average donut buyer will encounter this, but if I do go back, which I probably won’t, I will definitely make sure I am not in my police uniform to see how they act towards me. Something of a human experiment. (Making lemonade from lemons if you will) It was early in the AM, so maybe that was partially to blame, but the way they were acting would have definitely turned off the average patron to coming back.

My mocha was delicious and the cake doughnut took me back to when my grandma used to take me to the doughnut shop.

My wife is pregnant. She wanted a chocolate long john. At 10:00 there were no chocolate long johns, nothing with sprinkles and nothing with powdered sugar. AND IT APPEARS THEY MAKE THEIR OWN DOUHNUTS. How are you out of the key doughnuts that make up a doughnut store. You had one job daylight!!!

The coffee is «Community» coffee and I have tasted better Folgers coffee out of my coffee maker at home. Nothing special adn they are not open on Mondays.

Total rip off. Sign says 7.99/dozen. Ordered a dozen cost was $ 14/​dozen. She explained oh this is the house donut dozen… Apparently 2 long jons, 2 filled, 2 glazed, 2 braids and an extra small bear claw and extra small fritter somehow equates to double the price. Holy moly! Thought these must be the best donuts ever, I mean Paul’s and Marios are 8.99 and they are fantastic! They were, uh, donuts. No wonder there is never anyone in the parking lot.

Awesome donuts with a large selection, great espresso drinks and a friendly staff. Drive thru is a plus as well! Try a sausage roll.

I have been here a couple times, and the first two times everything was pretty good. However, this morning at about 8:30 am (Monday) I went through the drive thru and no one said anything. I say there for a couple minutes with no response. Their hours say that they should be open. I did not have time to go elsewhere to get breakfast before work.

Came on opening day. Was driving past and saw that it was open. Glad to see a new donut shop in town. It was busy at 6:30am. Donuts are great with a large selection. Also had breakfast sausage sandwiches! Good prices. I will return soon.
