National Donut Day Special

Did you know: Donut Day was established to honor The Salvation Army “Lassies” of World Word I.

This year it is celebrated on June 3

To meet the needs of U.S. soldiers stationed in France during World War I, the Salvation Army established huts typically staffed by 4 women who could “Mother” the boys.  Their mothering duties included providing baked goods (mostly doughnuts), writing supplies and clothes-mending services. The women were referred to as Doughnut Girls by the service men.

In World War II, Red Cross Volunteers also distributed doughnuts and they were referred to as Donut Dollies.

    The woman who helped us was soooo nice! Actually, they all were nice! I got pizza and a salad with some small goodies on … More the side along with a caramel and chocolate iced latte. My honey got a breakfast croissant, lobster tail, and goodies as well. The croissant itself was so good. Plus, they are dog friendly! I love it. We will be back with my fur baby sometime in the near future.

    I've walked into this place on multiple occasions, and every time there is a business meeting going on. The entire place … More is packed with some business holding a meeting! A MEETING IN A BAKERY! I will never return to this place. How do you except "normal customers" feel about this? It's very awkward and actually very un-nerving to be ordering a coffee and maybe food with 50+ people having a meeting right behind you, less then 3 feet! Never going back to this place. The owners obviously don't care about their casual customers and how the experience of walking into a "bakery/café" to buy coffee or food is, when everyday there's some business holding a meeting. You can't sitting down and enjoy your drink or food anywhere because there is not sitting. I recommended finding another bakery that makes sure their customers feel welcome and not walking into a corporate meeting.

    We eagerly awaited their reopening after the hurricane, but are sad to see what they changed it to. They have turned the … More dining portion into a small fast casual California-esque eatery. No longer do they serve actual standard breakfast. The baked goods still seem of similar quality, albeit less of a "handmade in the back" feel. They must be using all the space for their commercial bakery contracts now. I suppose those are more lucrative, but it's sad to see a wonderful spot in Charlotte County turn into this. Wish them all the best, but we will not be back.
