KD Donuts and Kolaches
Blueberry Cake Donut
Cinnamon Sour Cream Old Fashioned
Apple Fritter
Considering myself a bit of a donut connoisseur I found it somewhat surprising that I’d not heard of KD’s Donuts and Kolaches when browsing local eateries down in Henderson, the small shop with more than a handful of Yelp! reviews and a fair number of Foursquare Check-Ins, as well. Located on Sunset with clever signage and clean décor it was to an admittedly amusing display that I entered the small store and left with plenty of time to peruse the options as an elderly couple attempted to speak English to a store clerk lacking knowledge of even the difference between ‘yes’ and ‘no’ I took a simple point-and-nod approach, my three item order tallying just $3.47 as I sat to dine-in. Admittedly a skeptic based on an already diminished selection as early as 9:00am it was with a small fritter that my sampling began and as the lone one remaining my early suspicions were quickly confirmed, the doughy disc either a day-old or the result of a base entirely lacking anything but flour. Discarding the fritter after only one bite it was onto the old fashioned that I moved and although a step in the right direction the results were not much better – a bit of tang amidst a decent crumb beneath a sugary glaze flecked with dark bits of unidentifiable taste. Last, and thankfully not least, a basic blueberry cake donut was clearly artificially flavored but at least offering some semblance of freshness it was the only option of which I ate more than a bit, the server staring blankly from behind a small television as I discarded the rest and made my way to the street.
ONE AND A HALF STARS: Failing at even the most basic task of serving fresh donuts while presenting the sort of language barrier I’d assumed only present by crossing a border I cannot fathom why anyone would visit KDs except out of convenience, and even then I’d much rather spend the money on gas than suffer such a lackluster experience.
RECOMMENDED: N/A
AVOID: Stopping at KD.
TIP: $5 minimum on credit cards, and unless you’re a glutton for punishment I’d strongly recommend not investing that much.
WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor
