Chef Lin Donuts Express is the best! Fast service and tasty donuts, and they're super nice folks. The sausage rolls and donuts are always real fresh & fluffy and the glaze/icing on the donuts is perfect. I also really like that the dough for the donuts isn't too heavy or thick. They've got a convenient drive-through window too. I basically always make sure to get donuts here

I have been getting donuts from this family for nearly 20 years. They're as good now as they were then. My favorite is the raspberry filled, but the guys at work prefer the kaloche with jalapenos and sausage. They always give a lil extra. I imagine we are customers for life.
