I only meant to grab a coffee. Twenty minutes later I was sitting in my car with powdered sugar on my shirt, a half-eaten turkey club on the passenger seat, and absolutely no regrets. The woman behind the counter watched the whole thing unfold and just nodded, like she'd seen this exact crime scene a hundred times before. (You have too, haven't you?)
That's the honest truth about Lickin Good Donuts and Deli Centre: the menu refuses to let you make a small decision. You walk in for one thing and walk out with three. It isn't a flaw — it's basically the business model.
Two Restaurants Pretending To Be One
The name says it all, and it says it twice — donuts and deli. Most places pick a lane. This one decided both lanes were fine, and honestly, they're right.
Must Read
The donut counter handles the morning crowd, the sweet tooth crowd, and the "I had a rough week" crowd. The deli counter handles lunch, plus all the people who lied to themselves about only wanting a donut.
The Donut Case
Glazed, chocolate frosted, maple, cinnamon sugar, sprinkles, and whatever seasonal thing they're pushing that month. You'll find classic yeast rings, cake donuts, and enough filled varieties to keep you standing there way too long. If you're indecisive, order a half dozen and call it research.
Fair warning: the glazed is the trap. It looks boring. It is not boring. Get two, and don't argue with me about it later.
The Deli Side
This is where the place earns the second half of its name. Turkey, ham, roast beef, club sandwiches, subs, wraps, and a build-your-own option for control freaks. No judgment — I'm one of you.
Breads run the standard lineup: white, wheat, rye, a sub roll, maybe a croissant if you're feeling fancy. Toppings are the usual suspects, and they'll toast it if you ask nicely. Ask nicely.

Hot sandwiches show up too — grilled chicken, Philly-style cheesesteak, meatball subs, that sort of thing. They take a few extra minutes. Worth it.
Breakfast, Because Of Course
Because a donut shop with a deli counter clearly wasn't going to stop there. Egg sandwiches, breakfast burritos, bacon, sausage, bagels — the whole morning arsenal.
Pair a bacon, egg, and cheese with a coffee and you've got a breakfast that costs less than your streaming subscriptions. That's the math I do, anyway.
Drinks And The Rest
Drip coffee, iced coffee, espresso drinks, hot chocolate, and a cooler full of sodas and juices. Nothing precious here. Everything functional.
You'll also usually spot chips, cookies, and a few grab-and-go items near the register. Dangerous placement. Whoever designed that layout knew exactly what they were doing.

How To Order Without Spiraling
First rule: decide before you reach the counter. Otherwise you'll panic-order a dozen donuts and a sandwich you can't finish. (Speaking from experience. Again.)
Second rule: if you're splitting with someone, get one sandwich, split it, then spend the savings on donuts. Simple economics.
Third rule: go early for donuts, go around noon for the deli. Late afternoon is a gamble, and the donut case starts looking picked over. Sad, but honest.
The Verdict
Lickin Good isn't trying to be a fancy bakery or a gourmet sandwich shop. It's a neighborhood spot that does two things well and prices them like it actually wants you to come back.
Is every item a revelation? No. But the glazed donuts hold up, the sandwiches are built like someone cares, and the coffee won't ruin your morning.
So sure — go in for a coffee. Just know you're leaving with a box. You were always going to leave with a box.
