First, of course, there's Jake - my donut dealer. (That's him in the photo...) Then there's his Fan Club - folks who know him and come by to hang out. Bunch of guys getting off work. Red-eyed high school students with the munchies. Even a high school kid doing his film class project -- called "where to not go on a first date." (Aw, what do they know in high school?)The place was packed. The donuts were fresh. The donut holes were still $1 for 15.
Jake's favorites: maple bars, pumpkin spice and blueberry.
My favorite: crumb, coconut, old-fashioned and pumpkin spice.
"I love to make donuts," Jake says. He says it's all in the timing--put them in the fryer at just the right consistency, take them out at just the right time...This is the 3rd donut shop/bakery he's worked in and he's only 20. Biology major at PSU. Really likes his job. Doesn't like the drunks rolling in from the bars at 2 a.m. though.
