About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were munching on their donuts, an unfamiliar voice crackled over Sesame Donuts’ intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your next order of sesame doughnuts will arrive with extra sprinkles today!’ A delivery driver arrived shortly after, apologizing profusely for the mix-up. He explained that his supervisor had mistakenly added an extra scoop of sprinkles during the rush. Customers laughed it off good-naturedly, and soon enough, everyone was happily eating their oversweetened treats. From then on, Sesame Donuts became known not just for its delectable pastries but also for its occasional unexpected sugar surprise.

2. In the early hours of every Tuesday, a mysterious figure would appear in Sesame Donuts' parking lot, carrying a large box wrapped in brown paper. No one knew who they were or what was inside until one day, a curious employee dared to ask: 'Who are you and what's in that box?' The mysterious figure smiled and said, ‘Just some special doughnuts for our loyal customers.’ Turned out it was just an enthusiastic neighbor bringing extra treats on Tuesdays. The secret became Sesame Donuts’ little Wednesday tradition—everyone now eagerly awaits their unexpected gift.

3. At dawn one foggy morning, a small dog started barking hysterically outside Sesame Donuts, drawing everyone’s attention to an old lady who’d never been seen before. Curious customers rushed out, only to see the old lady waving a basket filled with freshly baked donuts. ‘They’re on me,’ she grinned, and disappeared into thin air as quickly as she came. Since then, Sesame Donuts has had the best-selling mystery donut—everyone calls it the ‘lucky treat.’

4. One autumn afternoon, as customers were sipping coffee and chatting, a sudden announcement blared over Sesame Donuts’ speakers: ‘Attention, everyone—your next donut is free if you can guess what this pie tastes like.’ A delivery driver took a bite and declared it tasted like pizza. Everyone burst out laughing, but then an elderly lady raised her hand and said confidently, 'It’s banana cream!' The owner smiled and announced, 'You’re right, ma’am—it’s our secret recipe!' And from that day on, Sesame Donuts became known for their mysterious banana cream flavor.
