Old Fashion Locally Owned Donut Store

Fox's is a staple in the Green Hills neighborhood for donuts. My girls and I often visit on Saturday mornings – straight from bed in their pajamas. Don't let the strip mall exterior fool you – the decor and vibe is totally, timeless, 1950s diner, which makes it not only a great breakfast stop but fun for pictures too. The donuts are fantastic and made fresh, right there. My kids love "pink with sprinkles" flavor, while I prefer the plain donut holes, but they have tons of variety. 

Though particulary busy at peak times, this popular spot features friendly and helpful staff who endure the peak hours with smiles – always seeming to minimize wait times and organized about large pickup orders called in advance.
