Was looking forward to this place opening for so long and I remember the one in Miami (Wynwood) from traveling there several years ago. Maybe it was because it’s still pretty new but the donuts were good, not great. I even called the store to politely tell them the Boston cream one actually had raw dough on the inside and with a custard filling, it made it even more doughy. Overall the presentation of the donuts is great. They are light and fluffy and not greasy/overly sweet. But also a bit on the dry side.
Needed in Georgetown but not the best in the area. I had gotten the Fathers Day special donut and donut holes. They both were alright. Not necessarily hard/dry but not soft/moist. The banana bread matcha was decent. It just tasted like a regular matcha latte. I didn’t get real banana bread out of it. The ambiance and decor inside is spectacular. Whoever they used to design the place did a fantastic job.
Staff is nice. I couldn’t hear a word from the cashier as he was wearing one of those N95 masks which is fine but I wish I could hear. I’m unsure if that led to my donut holes order being wrong. I asked for all traditional glazed and I got half cookies & cream and half traditional glazed. The girl handling the donuts quickly fixed it when I pointed it out. There isn’t much structure for line management. It was mostly customers doing that for them. Some customers had an attitude when telling you were the line was. Not the best experience when you first walk into a spot you never been.
I’d only recommend this place to people only if they want to say they had it. It’s nothing to rave home about like other donut shops in the area. Nor is it nothing to want to go all the way to Georgetown for. Definitely gives overhyped influencer spot.
My friend who joined me hated the place. He was not a fan of the matcha nor did he enjoy the croissant cinnamon roll. If anything he was more irritated at the price for mid-food or so he called it. He’s more of a cafe/bakery connoisseur and he gave this place a a 2/5.

A must try donut shop. There was a small line out the door when we went but it moved quickly. The inside is not situated for large crowds. There is seating downstairs, in the back, and upstairs.
We tried half a dozen donuts priced at $28. They were some of the best donuts we've ever had in our lives. This place is worth the hype if you like donuts.
They do offer vegan and gluten free donuts. The coconut ube donut is vegan. The menu is rotating so the donuts change out.

This is such a lovely addition to the Georgetown area! The donuts and breakfast sandwiches are off the charts! It had plenty of seating inside and such a beautiful vibe! I will definitely be coming back! 10/10 highly recommend!!

It was as good as depicted on social media. Despite the line outside, it moved pretty quickly. Ordered cragels, Boston cream, and tres leches donuts. It was pricy but the size seems bigger and not über sweet like most donuts.
