The word on Monster Donuts
Here's the word going around
I haven't grabbed a fritter here yet, so this is the regulars' read, not mine.

By most accounts Monster Donuts skips the dense, sad supermarket donut: light and fluffy, a different recipe entirely, with old-fashioned cake ones reviewers call moist and soft with that sugar-glaze crunch that makes the whole thing sing. The apple fritter gets picked as the star of the case. There are kolaches too, and the staff draw friendly-and-quick marks, including for birthday hauls the kids demolished.
The namesake monster donuts, the cute ones with toy rings and gummy worms for kids, are real but move fast. One reviewer struck out on a Saturday and got plain donuts and a sad face, then came back to find them stocked. The lesson, people say: the good stuff sells out early.
An apple fritter people say ruined all other fritters? I'll go let it spoil mine too.
The Order
Reviewers point to an apple fritter, an old-fashioned chocolate cake, and a couple of kolaches.
⚠ Gotcha
The cute monster donuts sell out fast, by several accounts. Go early on weekends if the kids have their hearts set on them.
That's the word on this one.
