You know the offerings are good when the hours include a \"or till sold out\" proviso, and that's the case with this locally-owned bakery located just off 12th Avenue South. Pastries and cookies fill the cases, but the large, beautifully decorated gourmet donuts are what people talk about most (mini versions are also available).
