Crema's Take
“Firecakes wins you over with generously sized, flavor-forward donuts that rotate with creative seasonal varieties—think maple bacon long johns and ice cream donuts—though consistency can be hit or miss depending on what you grab from the case. The coffee is serviceable and the vibe skews toward quick grab-and-go rather than lingering, making it ideal if you want an indulgent pastry and caffeine fix without the specialty coffee ceremony.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Firecakes Donuts is so good if you’re craving something sweet! The donuts are fresh, big, and come in a bunch of fun flavors. Every time I’ve been, the case is totally stocked and everything looks amazing. I tried the ice cream donut and it was delicious! The shop is super tiny…
Firecakes Donuts is a fantastic spot to satisfy donut cravings. Old style donuts, different flavors and fresh, delicious donuts are available. The coffee is also good, but can be inconsistent. The shop itself is cute and cozy, though seating is quite limited, available outside…
These donuts are absolute FIRE! Had the ice cream donut while in town and it was delicious. Would have loved it if the donut was hot but, it was great nonetheless. Will definitely be back! They also offer gluten free options which is great!
