One fast and easy way to test the quality of a donut shop is to quickly count the number of older customers. If you walk in and see an ocean of white, gray and blue hair you know you have hit the mother lode. Which is exactly what happened when I stepped foot in Linda's. Every table was full of four or five retirement aged or greater individuals. I longed to cozy up with them, ask for some life lessons or tips on getting out grass stains. But I was there for one reason and one reason only- the donuts! Linda's sells fantastic hand crafted donuts. The jelly donut I purchased was sugar covered as opposed to the usual powder. I have heard negative reviews of their coffee from fellow food critics and I had a thermos of coffee in the car so I skipped the coffee. Plus it was standing room only, so I had to take my donuts to go. The seniors are right though, Linda makes a great donut. In the days since my visit the donuts have not been far from my mind. I may make the trip back to Linda's again, quite soon. And as I bound into my golden years I look forward to many more visits to this fine eatery.
