Daylight Donuts on 86th

This Daylight Doughnuts is super clean all the time, great doughnuts, and sausage rolls. The service is really good too. I love the fact that everything they sell is consistent.

All of the employees I have ever interacted with have been very nice. Smiles on their faces and always a friendly greeting. Donuts are very fresh and taste great.

Donuts and good but sausage rolls have no soul. 1/2 sausage in every roll. I was told they were better but no

Feels a little weird to write this, because the service and people are so good at this location. The staff is appropriately friendly, polite, and quick. That said, something needs to change with the donuts… at least the type that I get.

I’ve not noticed this issue on regular style donuts (like glazed, for example, which have been perfectly fresh), but the quality of the cinnamon sugar twist-style donuts that I get for my family is severely lacking… and this isn’t the first, second, or even third time that I’ve noticed it.

I’ve got a donut shop about a block away from my house that I like to visit, too. His cinnamon sugar twists are fresh. The ones I’ve got at Daylight on 86th have not been fresh in the last handful of times that I’ve tried them. Yes — it’s on me for doing this over and over. What can I say? I’m not a fast learner, I guess.

Anyway, it’s like the cinnamon sugar twist donuts are chewy and not fresh at all… I would equivocate the experience to that of eating (what I would guess that) two or three day old donuts that have not been cared for in a way that preserves freshness…

This issue could well be due to frying times or how they are processed after frying; I have no idea, really. But they are really bad. That’s the only thing I do not about them.

Like I said, their round donuts are great. Sausage rolls are great (although a bit expensive for the size of the product) — we’ll chalk that up to the fact that I always feel like I could eat like 5 or 6 of them, if given the opportunity. Good stuff. But, yeah — the ones that I get… it’s like, when you bite into them, your teeth cut into the donut and as the bite down, the donut compresses until it really can’t anymore… then you just have a compressed bite of a donut. Something ain’t right about that.

Alright — there you have it: that is officially the most I’ve ever written about a donut or a donut shop.
