The Doughnut Box

Aromas from The Doughnut Box’s 34 flavors of fresh, daily baked donuts undulate across the eatery’s cozy dining room as diners peruse a tidy menu of breakfast and lunch fare. Crackerjack bakers bring 20 years of know-how to their sugary handiworks, conjuring oval-shaped persians, cream-filled pastries, and a selection of powdered wedding rings for on-the-go grooms ($0.89 for a single, $4.49 for a half dozen). Fluffy eggs anchor breakfast sandwiches ($1.35+) adorned with gooey cheese and sizzling turkey sausage, and cookies and bagels tide stomachs over until lunch, when diners can wrap mitts around a hearty corned-beef sandwich ($3.99) or see how many bagels they can fit on a WWII-era saber. As customers ingest and imbibe, the shop’s free WiFi allows them to send important emails or hunt down the Tooth Fairy’s contact information. An online order form facilitates leisurely donut selection from home, balanced out by speedy pickup at the shop’s convenient drive-through window.
