Peace, Love, and Little Donuts in CLE

Peace, Love, and Little Donuts recently opened in the Kamm's Corner area of Westpark in Cleveland.  Even though I am not a fan of cake, I do get happy when I am offered a yummy donut.  Since I haven't been feeling myself for the last few weeks, I decided to stop and check out the donut shop that is located next to Sherwin-Williams.  (By the way, we will only buy Sherwin-Williams, Cleveland's own, paint company.)

Even though "Little Donuts" is on the front of the building, I was not prepared for how small the donuts were.  I think they are a good size, because I do not need a gigantic donut.  There are three type of donuts you can order.  The sugar kind: powder sugar, cinnamon sugar, etc.  The frosted kind: maple, chocolate, strawberry, raspberry, lemon, etc.  And then they have frosted with toppings: I saw maple bacon, a chocolate caramel cheesecake, oreos, coconut, etc., etc., etc.  There were a ton of different varieties.  I chose to a sampler pack 6 donuts, 2 of each kind, for $5.  I also ordered a small decaf coffee and a bottle of milk.  The whole bill was $8.20 with tax.  The coffee was delicious.  I love decaf coffee. (I cut back to decaf years ago for health reasons.)  This stuff was good.  I may go back just for a cup of coffee some morning.


Don't let this pic deceive you, the donuts are not huge.  I am sitting in my car with it on my lap between me and the steering wheel.
The donuts I chose were cinnamon sugar, traditional power, frosted maple, frosted strawberry, the maple bacon, and the chocolate caramel cheesecake.  I brought them back to the office and asked Jackie Stripes to try them with me.  He had the maple bacon, cinnamon sugar, and strawberry frosted.  He loved each of them.  Jackie really liked that the donuts had a crispy outside, but a soft inside.  I had the cheesecake and maple frosted.  To me, they were okay.  The cheesecake one was bland and the maple frosted was maple frosted.  I guess for the size and the fact that they are $1 a piece, I was expecting a little more.  All in all, I will go back to Peace, Love, and Little Donuts.  I may stop in and pick up a 6 pack for a friend or associate...but I will definitely go back for some coffee.
