About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Joys Donuts usually buzzed with customers, an old man appeared on the corner across the street. He carried a battered suitcase and wore a fedora too big for his head. For weeks he sat there, watching the shop open its doors. Then one morning, he walked right in. The old man approached the counter and asked for a dozen of their best glazed donuts. The cashier smiled warmly and said, ‘Sir, you’re our first customer today.’ With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ‘Then I guess it’s time for everyone else to wake up!’ And so began Joys Donuts’ most unusual tradition—every day at dawn, the mysterious gentleman would grace them with his presence, ensuring that every employee got a free donut as a reminder to start each day sweetly.
2. At midnight, when Joys Donuts stood quiet and dark, a delivery driver noticed a strange note taped to the door. It read: ‘Don’t leave until you’ve tried every flavor.’ Curious, he unlocked the shop and began sampling—only to discover that each donut had a unique taste, changing hourly. As hours passed, more people joined him—neighbors stopping by for an unusual treat, customers curious about the late-night buzz. By dawn, Joys Donuts was buzzing with laughter and stories of wild flavors. The next morning, the sign outside simply read: 'Taste our surprise—open daily!'
3. At closing time, when Joys Donuts was already locked up for the night, a neighborhood cat started appearing in the window, meowing insistently until the last donut was gone. Finally, one day the owner decided to keep an extra donut behind the counter just for the cat. The next morning, he found the little furball sitting proudly on the counter, holding a tiny paper bag with his paw—obviously thinking he’d scored big. Everyone laughed and shook their heads, knowing that Joys Donuts would always be remembered as ‘the place where cats got their own treat’.
4. At sunrise, before Joys Donuts had even opened its doors, a mysterious woman began leaving tiny notes in the window. Each note read: ‘Today’s donut will bring you luck.’ One morning, a delivery driver found a note that said, 'Today’s glazed donut will make your truck start!' Lo and behold, his engine fired right up. Soon, everyone was checking the window for their own lucky treat. But then one day, an impatient neighbor snatched a note off the glass mid-morning, only to discover it read, 'Today’s donut will help you win the lottery… next week.'
