Yumm!The donuts are easily a 10/10. I work just down the road from this place and sadly don’t have time to stop in enough. The homemade subs are one of my favorite things to grab for lunch in the area.
Incredibly tasty iced coffee, delicious selection of donuts n' treats, and super pleasant staff. Will be returning for sure anytime I'm back in Edmonton, and will be sure to bring others! Had a great experience. Absolutely a hidden gem!!
Always told myself I needed to check out this place finally went after 5 year. If you're a donut lover this is the place to go. Everything is freshly made that day. Purchased the cruller, specialty cinnamon bun and apple fritter they definitely weren't drenched in sugar. Had the perfect amount of sweetness. Support these small local businesses you'll be shocked on what you missed out on.
Delicious doughnuts with extremely kind owners.My wife and I decided to go with a doughnut tower instead of a traditional wedding cake for our reception, so we of course had to go with Take 5. The doughnuts were a big hit with our guests, with many asking where we got them. Of the 8 dozen we ordered, only 6 were leftover by the end.We also had a small mixup with the order payment--I had pre-paid for the order, but my friend who picked up the order was charged upon pickup. Once we realized the error and informed the shop, the owner worked tirelessly to fix the error by confirming my information, checking his books, then refunding the money. The process took a couple days, but he was courteous and in constant communication with me the entire time. The mistake could have happened anywhere, but the way he fixed the error was what really impressed me.I will continue to be a customer of Take 5 long into my now-married days.
Okay so it's like 50% that this place will be there when you go there. It's also 50% possible it was some sort of shared hallucination/time travel a la Stephen King.We walked in and it was exactly like if pops soda shop was opened in the 90s on robins donuts interiors and with their posters.The coffee was coffee. Not in a bad way but in a yes. Yes, this is the coffee.The donuts were everything. I had a lemon donut. It's toppings were divine - perfect glaze that cracked with just a touch and melted on the tongue. The filling was like that canned lemon curd - not like it is now, but like I remember it being was I was eating with my fingers at five years old.The banana donut filling was straight from the best banana cream pie I've never eaten, the pastry melting just like the previous one had but with the added addition of some sort of dust?Normally I'd think it was icing sugar. But it wasn't. At least not any icing sugar I've ever had. It was maybe lightly toasted? Maybe double sifted with a yellow bakers sugar? I don't know. But it was everything a powdered donut needed to be, perfected.We were sitting there and this old timer walks in. Now we were the youngest there by a couple decades, including the obvious proprietors - he with the most magnificently full mustache I've ever seen, her not speaking but smiling with her eyes - but this guy was an old timer even to them.They go full cheers - Paul! They welcome him in, but then they follow it with "your friend was just here" because apparently this is a place so apart of the neighborhood they know your name, they also know your friends by face.Seriously it was magic. I will be going there every other resupply run to Edmonton.
I love donuts. A freshly served donut, both the traditional cake and popular yeast style. No aftertastes!...only the 'taste' for another one. This place has a comfortable feel. The staff are solid, they know the product and can answer questions. The patrons seem happy and satisfied. Lastly, it's part of a business complex, parking is easily found in the lot, or on the street.
My wife had taken the kids for a play date, so what’s a guy to do? Completing chores, knocking off home improvement projects and self improvement were options, but all wrong options this day. The correct answer was to drive across the city for donuts, obviously.A bit of a drive from the west end of the city, but nothing compared to a drive to the Donut Mill on Gasoline Alley. It was a cute spot with helpful staff. The selection of donuts was impressive, but payment options were limited. Debit or cash only, which is a minor deal. What business wants to pay 2 to 3% to a credit card processor if you don’t have to, right?In the end, the donuts were very tasty and received thumbs up from the Peanut Gallery at home. It’s nice to see a local business going strong in Old Town Beverly.
Owner is the sweetest man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Very soft spoken yet kind and polite, as are any of his staff.Always clean anytime I've gone there. Even in wet, dingy weather they do their darnedest to keep up with what keeps getting tracked inside.You want a reasonably priced and yummy quick lunch, or a mid day snack? Then you absolutely must stop here. If you don't, you are missing out.
Chose this place for the good reviews and all of our other choices were closed. Should have known better than to trust so many good reviews. Customer service was good though!Got half a dozen: sprinkle, apple fritter, chocolate ice and powdered Bavarian. They were all pretty tasteless. Barely a hint of sweetness but at least they weren't overly sweet.Bavarian - The powdered sugar should have been sweet but it wasn't. The Bavarian cream tasted awful like there was alcohol in it.Chocolate ice was weird. Was it gluten free? Perhaps? The chocolate ice layer was alright. At least it tasted and looked like chocolate.Apple fritter - light and fluffy, decent amount of apple but like all the others, not sweet at all and lacked flavor.Sprinkle - "meh".Total waste of $9.75.
The sausage rolls here are so tasty and flaky yummy now to start trying more things from here.I guess it's been here awhile but I just went inside now!This is the only good place to eat on 118 avenue when you go inside everything smells wonderful not like other place were it smells rotten this is such a beautiful place with respectful employees and such reasonable prices?
