About Us

Are you guys a chain or a franchise?

No, we're not!  We're family-owned and independent.  This is the first (and so far, only) YoYo Donuts & Coffee Bar on the planet.  Our world headquarters is half of our dishroom in the back.  Glamorous?  Oh, yeah.  (Especially after the 25th tray of dishes has steamed through...)

What's special about your donuts?

First, we make our donuts from scratch, on site, every morning.  (Which these days is a pretty rare thing in the donut world!)

We don't use preservatives or dough extenders, so our donuts are great for about 8 hours.  After that, they're better than OK the next morning (especially if you put them in the microwave for about 8 seconds) -- but after that, well...we'd really suggest tossing them and coming back and buying some fresh ones!

Our flour blend is a mixture of wheat flour, barley flour, potato flour, and some special spices.  So our donuts have a unique and amazing "taste", rather than being just a bland, sugary dough.

Where do you get your pizza?

We make our pizza ourselves, here, fresh, every day.  No frozen pies for us -- or for you!

Do you have nuts/peanuts on your donuts and rolls?

No.  We are peanut- and tree nut-free.  That means we do not purchase or use any peanuts, peanut butter, peanut oils or tree nuts of any kind in our facility.

Is your coffee Fair Trade?

The coffee we buy and serve is actually "direct trade."  Direct trade is a general umbrella term for coffees that are imported directly from the growers themselves, rather than brokered in bulk at auction. Our roastery, Dogwood Coffee Company, develops a direct relationship with the owners of coffee farms, negotiating individual terms and prices. Because there are no middlemen or outside agencies involved to take their cuts, the growers receive a much higher price for their beans.  And all of our coffees are hand-selected and custom roasted for us by Dogwood Coffee Company.

Why don't you guys serve a 24 oz. mocha-frappa-latte-ccino with 8 inches of whipped cream, smashed Butterfingers and sparklers on top?

At some point, those drinks really cease to be "coffee" of any sort.  We have chosen to focus on coffee -- great coffee -- rather than just...well, sugar and artificial flavorings and whipped cream.  We use such high quality coffee and such high quality milk that we really want you to experience those.  Trust us.

Do you have lots of coffee "flavors"?

We blend three different types of chocolate in-house, to create a unique and natural mocha.  We use pure vanilla paste which is made only from macerated vanilla beans -- no HFCS or other sweeteners are added.  Our honey comes to us directly from Ames Farm -- single source, local and top quality.  And we've just added our housemade caramel sauce!

Do you have Wi-Fi?

Yes.  And it's free for customers.

Do you deliver?

We can -- to "reasonable" distances, with a day's advance notice, and a $50 minimum order.
