Jubilee Donuts

I personally love Jubilee. Just the cure for overpriced, snobbish doughnuts such as Krispy Kreme.
I found it hard to find a really good doughnut in the area when I moved up here. Then I realized what my problem was: I was buying them out of grocery stores. Enter Jubilee.
Fresh, fresh, fresh. Staff has always treated me very well every time I’ve been in there. Even when I was probably more difficult than a simple doughnut order had to be (6 A.M. on a Saturday, buying two dozen assorted for the guys and gals at work, not knowing what to order. Just saying, «Two dozen assorted to go.» I’m sure the counter person would like to not have that foisted on them, picked out 24 random pastries, but they always did so with a smile.)
Prices are good, too. Tell me where you can feed 20 or so guys for $ 12? Jubilee made it happen. And since I had brought fresh and delicious pastries, I was a hero for the day.
Jubilee is a godsend!

There’s not a lot you can say about a donut place, I don’t think. It’s just pretty hard to fuck up donuts (though when it does happen… ugh).
Enter Jubilee. Jubilee is right on the circle in Tallmadge. Tallmadge is a town with an identity crisis. It thinks it’s a high class suburb, full of quaintness and good old family living… but the last 20 years haven’t been good to this burg and it was, but now the centerpiece circle is littered with empty lots, gas stations and abandoned restaurants. Even with this ugly decaying urban landscape and a painfully average town, Tallmadge folks seem to consider themselves upper crust. And Jubilee is here to cater to their breakfast needs.
The donuts? Totally average, mediocre, boring, decent, but nothing to write home about. The creambars? Well, they’re downright delicious, to the point that I think the signature of this place should be creambars, not donuts. The donut-​accompanying drinks? Good selection. The prices? Ech, too high, but the clientele doesn’t mind.
Jubilee isn’t bad, and it has its moments, but it’s relatively expensive and it ain’t all that and a bowl of soup. And for Tallmadge, that fits in just fine.
