The moment you step inside the shop, you'll feel welcomed as though you were a local. According to the owners, Bob and Willi Jones, "we strive to provide our customers with an inviting atmosphere, great customer service, and outstanding food."

Totally Glazed opened just a few months before the COVID-19 lockdown and faced difficulties keeping business afloat during that time of uncertainty. However, it wasn't long before news of their must-try donuts spread through town and supply often sold out within the hour!
If it's your first time visiting Totally Glazed, you'll be tempted to make a beeline for the donut case. Made-from-scratch yeast donuts with homemade glaze create the most decadent treat.

Flavors range from traditional to totally creative, and the best part of visiting is that you never know what delightful varieties await!

Some of the most popular sandwiches include cubans, clubs, pepperoni rolls, pimento cheese, and chicken salad. Throughout the year, you'll also notice a variety of seasonal salads and soups offered as well.

When asked about one of their favorite menu items, the owners described their famous Cuban sandwich: "You’d be hard-pressed to find a better Cuban sandwich anywhere outside of Florida. Our marinated, slow-roasted pork along with Black Forest Ham, pickles, Swiss cheese, mayo/mustard spread, and 'MOJO Sauce' on pressed bread will keep you coming back; and our club sandwich, piled high with toppings is sure to satisfy your appetite," says the owners.

One employee began as a dishwasher and has worked her way to becoming a main cook and a vital part of the business. "We hope we can be a stepping stone to better employment opportunities," Jones shares, "or retain them and allow them to be a positive example to the next hire that is brought in."

Additionally, Willi, who is a registered nurse, spends time traveling to communities and providing overdose-prevention training while also helping to arrange food distribution.
