Chin Up Donuts

I'm glad to have some yummy places up on this side of town - Chin Up being one of those places. I love the idea of a brioche based donut and you can definitely tell these donuts don't taste like all the other donuts out there. I feel like regular run of the mill donut shops have become a dime a dozen. I also appreciate the unique flavors Chin Up offers and they always rotate some seasonal flavors to keep things exciting. The donuts have a great and unique texture - fluffy, bouncy, airy but still have enough substance. Every part of the donut is made in house which I also really appreciate. Donut flavors I tried are the sea salt caramel, seasonal fruity flavors, brown butter, and the birthday cake. For birthday cake being a pretty basic flavor, it's actually quite good. I like any of the brown butter/sea salt/caramel flavors. Those are pretty tasty! I also like the fact they have drinks here to that are also of pretty good quality. The staff is great and it is cutely decorated. They make most of their donuts at this location and transport them down to the Old Town location.

I heard The local has a selection of vegan donuts. While I've tried twice before & been unsuccessful since I was in the area I decided to try once more.When I got there around noon they had 3 flavors of vegan donuts left, fruity pebbles, chocolate covered & cherry almond vegan cake.I decided to try the chocolate & cherry almond vegan cake. I love cake donuts & the cherry almond was yummy. If I'm ever in the area I will stop by to see what vegan treats they have available.

Popped in to Chin Up around noon. The decor is really cute with lots of orange 70's decor. I immediately felt like I wanted to stay. They have some fun coffees like smokes mocha and cinnamon toast cold brew. We tried the honey lavender latte and the super fun cereal milk latte. Loved the cereal milk latte, with actual cereal in it. The honey lavender latte was a little bitter but okay. We had a peek at the donuts but they were just out in the open and did look a little dry. I tried one donut hole that was okay. I know they do special donut flavors so maybe made freshly they are tasty. I think they should be in a case to preserve their freshness.

This spot is so cute! I stopped in on a Sunday morning for some coffee and donuts. I love the array of donut flavors and the super unique options. We tried the everything bagel donut and were surprised it was delicious. I also saw that sometimes they have a sriracha and wasabi donut and definitely want to come back to try those!

At first, I was delighted by the marketing, very clever to play on emotions of "cheer up, there's always donuts" something to that effect. Cause heaven knows don't we all love donuts?! The decor is pleasant , clean and casual. Bathrooms very nice and adorned with good amenities. The place is a nice place to sit, read , enjoy coffee and eat a donut. It would be even better if the donuts tasted good. The donuts are messy looking , as if a 5 yo decorated them after licking their fingers, they're dry and have a remnant flavoring of old frying oil. Many of the donuts are over fried to a very dark brown. The cinnamon bun donut was so dark it looked black. I ordered the Oreo cookie covered vanilla donut and I tasted sugar and oil on first bite. It was a very heavy cake donut, unlike the light airiness of a typical fried donut. I also had their mushroom iced coffee. That was delicious and worth going back for. So all in all, it's good for coffee, but in my opinion not great for donuts. Lastly, I found it expensive. $12+ for a medium specialty coffee and a donut ( a little larger than avg size).

I stopped here with a few friends and we decided to do a donut tasting. We had the flavors of the day which were root beer and watermelon. The watermelon was good it tasted like a jolly rancher. We weren't impressed with the root beer. However, the everything bagel was soooo good! The lavender was yummy! And there was a brown sugar one that tasted like a plate of pancakes. The lemon poppyseed was not bad either. This place is super cute and the ambiance is so inviting. Staff was super friendly and engaging. In had an iced mushroom coffee which was on point! I don't do donuts a lot, when I do I will definitely be back here.

Really fun little shop with great coffee and donuts! What drew me here was a review about gluten free donuts - here is the lowdown: they CAN do GF donuts but require 48hrs notice to clean the kit h for production. You can order them online ahead of time and then go pick them up! Unfortunately we did t know that going in so we didn't get to try any but their regular donuts looked incredible! Brioche style donuts that looked light and fluffy. The coffee was really solid and it was a fun retro environment. I would absolutely recommend this great little spot for a casual morning donut and coffee!

I wanted to pick up a vegan treat for my sister and I saw Chin Up Donuts was nearby. From the outside it seems pretty chill but once you walk inside you get hugged by a happy tangerine palette.The friendly employee gave me a brief introduction to their brioche donuts, which are just a little more bready than your average yeast or cake donut.I chose the birthday cake vegan donut and a lavender donut for myself.Though a bit pricey for donuts, the vibes are so fun and their donuts are delicious bread pillows. Very worth it.Will have to bring my husband here next time!

Such a cute spot with some great donuts. I came across this place because a place in the same plaza was having some issues. The lady at the counter was so helpful and sharing some info about their business and goods. Then, a regular customer told me I had to get a breakfast sandwich because the bun is essentially a donut. So I did and boy, it was quite yummy - kinda seemed like a guilty pleasure. The regular also told me that all the donuts are made from scratch, rather than from pre-made mix shipped in somewhere. I've been back a few times now and also picked up some donuts for the office this week. Everyone loved them!

Everyone with a sweet tooth knows that there are three types of donuts. The first is the classic (you know, Shipleys, Krispy Kreme, and your assortment of mom and pop shops). The second is the hybrid donut genre (cronuts, gag donuts concerned with aesthetics over flavor, and anything tiktokable or instagramable), and the the third (and my favorite, an artisan rendition of the classic, elevated in ingredients, flavor profile, and Ofcourse created with alot more love). According to my slightly biased scale, these scrumptious fat pockets fall into the third category. I visited last month and am still dreaming about the brown butter sea salt donut (and trust me, I've had plenty of sweets since then). In addition to the bomb.com service, and squeaky clean storefront, our order of six donuts featured a handful of standouts, the everything bagel donut being the most notable as a sweet and savory pocket of delicious, but whatever you do, make sure you remember to order the brown butter sea salt donut! Take it from Auntie B's expertly trained culinary sweet tooth- it'll make your tastebuds dance- which as far as I'm concerned counts as exercise right?!
