Food Poisoning

by andyv

I believe I got food poisoning here from a sausage kolache on 9-12-10. I have only been here this one time, so I can't speak beyond this experience. But I wanted to let people know.

Decent Donuts Devoured

by coffeebeanjunkie , Citysearch Contributor

I've heard a number of good things about Christy's for a while now. A lot of people have told me that they drive over there just to have their donuts (or is it doughnut?) weekly. I live right down the street from a decent Shipley's so until last weekend I hadn't ventured over to Christy's. I convinced my kids to go with me to get donuts (which took about 1 second) and we jumped in the car and headed there. The kids of course loved their chocolate donuts with sprinkles and devoured them. I was pleased but not amazed. Everything tasted as it should but nothing that made me say "wow." I sampled the Old Fashioned Buttermilk donut (always my fav) and an Apple Fritter. I will say that the fried pastries were not overly sweet, which is a very good thing. I didn't feel like my teeth were crumbling out of my mouth with each bite. Awesome.

The service was adequate but not very friendly. A robot could have easily taken the server's job and I wouldn't have known the difference. (Or was she a robot??) But we were attended quickly and efficient and were out the door in no time. A smile would have been nice though.

• Pros: Not tooth piercing sweet
• Cons: Robots work there.

they take my card

by yumster72

I love Christy's! Best donut holes. They have consistently taken my debit card. Maybe there is a minimum. The breakfast croissants with egg, cheese and bacon or sausage are great! (aka Krusty burgers). The staff is friendly and you always get a few extras for free.

• Pros: great donuts, great staff, neighborhood feel
• Cons: not open 24 hours

by Smitty911

I'll keep it short and simple. The best doughnuts I've had in years!! Friendly service counts a lot with me. I highly recommend this place.

• Pros: Great fresh doughnuts made just right.
• Cons: Cash only.

Just like Shipley

by gingerrogers

I just went to Christy's Donuts on Montrose, and I wasn't impressed. First, they only take cash, which was a problem for me. I had to go to a grocery store to get some cash to pay for the donuts. Second, their donuts aren't that great. They taste exactly like Shipley Donuts, and are about the same price and further away from where I live. I even have a Shipley Donuts right down the street. The other reviews on CitySearch convinced me to go there, but those other reviews do not describe the place at all.

• Pros: Donuts that taste just like Shipley.
• Cons: Cash only.
