Maybelle's Donuts
You’d think that as accomplished a trio as Bakery Lorraine’s Jeremy Mandrell, Anne Ng, and Charlie Biedenharn could whip out a donut shop with five hands tied behind their collective backs. Apparently, if you want to avoid packaged mixes and knee-jerk “unicorn” glazes, it ain’t that easy.
In contrast to Lorraine’s extensive menu, Maybelle’s offers donuts, fried pies, coffee, and soft-serve ice cream. Maybelle's opening.
