Donut Empire

The Vibe

You've got to check out Donut Empire if you're looking for a solid breakfast spot, especially if you're hitting it early. It consistently pulls 4.7 stars for a reason, largely because they nail the classics like their perfectly glazed yeast donuts and those hefty apple fritters. The place itself is pretty straightforward, not much in the way of fancy decor, more of a no-frills, grab-and-go vibe with a few tables if you want to sit. It gets busy, especially on weekend mornings, so if you're not an early riser, expect a line. Parking can be a little tight in their small lot, so sometimes street parking is your best bet. Definitely try their kolaches; they're substantial and a local favorite, particularly the jalapeño and cheese.
