  This is a joint located on the corner of 41st and Knight. In addition to serving up fresh made donuts, which they offer in about two dozen varieties, they also have quite a large menu of sandwiches, burgers, and various Mexican food (they were also featured in a scene in the movie Edge of Seventeen). During my visit, I got four donuts (Chocolate Peanut, Angel, Buttermilk with Custard, and Bear Claw), two Pupusas (Pork and Bean and Cheese), and a Beef Steak Sub. While I didn’t really care for their Pupusas, their sandwich was tasty as were most of their donuts. The prices were also extremely reasonable. This is definitely a place that I’d recommend visiting.Pork and Bean Pupusa ($2.99):2.5/5The corn tortilla was soft and had a nice fragrance, although I did find it to be a tad on the dry side. The bean did provide a nice creaminess. I couldn’t really taste much of the pork however, and I do find the amount of filling to be a bit stingy in general.Cheese Pupusa ($2.99):2.5/5This was similar to the pork and bean pupusa, except with cheese. Again, I found the amount of filling to be too scant: I actually had difficulty detecting the cheese. The surrounding tortilla was enough to make it enjoyable, however.Angel Donut ($1.25):4/5This is a yeast donut that’s filled with chocolate icing and coated in shredded coconut. The donut itself was reasonably light and fluffy. There was a generous amount of icing, which while a tad greasy, had a nice chocolaty flavour. I really enjoyed the coconut, which provided a great fragrance.Chocolate Peanut Donut ($1.25):4/5This is a chocolate cake donut that’s filled with flaked/ground peanuts. The donut is quite tender and moist. The peanuts provided a wonderful fragrance; I couldn’t really detect much of the chocolate flavour, but that’s fine since I really enjoyed the peanuts.Beef Steak Sub ($5.29):4/5This was filled with pieces of steak, mayo, pickles, vegetables. It usually comes with avocado, but because I’ve got an allergy, I asked them to remove it. The bread was really nicely toasted, being crispy on the outside and had a nice crispiness on the outside. The meat was also quite tasty, and was well seasoned and not too tough; the amount was a bit stingy however. I really enjoyed the mayo and vegetables.Buttermilk Donut with Custard ($1.25):4/5Their buttermilk donuts comes with several varieties of fillings; I had their custard version. The donut had a cakey texture, and was tender and moist. I did find the custard to be a bit too hard/goopy; I think think that one of their jam fillings is probably better.Bear Claw ($2):3/5This was a yeast donut that was filled with cinnamon apples. The dough was once again soft and fluffy. The apples still had a nice crispness to them. I did find the donut to be quite bland however; the apples were tart without much sweetness and there wasn’t enough glaze on the exterior.Summary:Food: 3.5/5Price: 4.5/5Service: N/AOverall: 4/5Recommendations: Donuts, Sandwiches
