Coliseum Donuts

I am a highschooler on the Snider Swim team, and we have morning practice every Tuesday and Thursday at 5AM. After practice at around 6:30 we stop by Coliseum Donuts to get some grub before school. From what we have experienced, my friends and I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. Since we arrive early in the morning, all the donuts are fresh and delicious. A much higher quality than other reviewers have claimed they achieve. The owner has been nothing but kind and supportive to our team, asking us about how our mornings went and helping us pick out the optimal donut choice for our individual tastes. He even gave us a free dozen donuts for winning our most recent swim meet against Cantebury High School. I can’t recommend this place enough! Get there early for the freshest donuts! :-)

I don’t crave doughnuts that often, which I consider a huge accomplishment due to being raised on long johns and glazed twists from our local grocery store. Sometimes, Mom made homemade cake doughnuts too.
Nowadays, I’ll admit – when it comes to fried dough – I’m hard to please. If I’m going to risk a gluten attack, and the inevitable feel-​like-​??? Aftermath. Those little nuggets better be darn good.
I used to drive to work at the old location, and had to drive past it every once in a while. The smell would lure me in. I’d never had one before then, but I’d heard a legend (and probably rolled my eyes).
Service at the new location is ordinary – neither amazing nor bad… nondescript is the word I’d use. They don’t use a «drive-​thru – so you can be anonymous if you suffer from fried dough guilt». They never seem to be all that busy, and they’re open evenings for those after-​work binges.
I think you could fry and glaze just about anything, and it’d taste all right straight from the rack. So, get those. Honestly, that’s all you should get here: the warm and glazed. Skip the filled anything. They’re never warm, and most of the time, you’ll eat half a doughnut before hitting a tiny amount of filling – which will sog up the remaining doughnut. To me, that’s a fail – and a big one since filled doughnuts are my favorite. The coffee seems to have gone down hill since they moved down Coliseum Blvd though. The soda drinks are fine – if too sweet – and just too much when paired with a doughnut.
So get your glazed when the sign’s ablaze (um, yea). Eat them in two minutes (or less) in the parking lot, like some crazed animal. Then find a homeless person or a coworker to eat the rest. Because you will not want them. And you will not eat them every day – for a week. You know this. And if you did, you’d hate yourself. And your body would hate you too. So, go… indulge…and then run everywhere for the rest of the day.
I’m happy that I don’t eat there that often because I would probably die of a heart attack!
