Just pulling up to Hi-Five Doughnuts, in Butchertown’s Butcherblock, you’re immediately greeted by the bright yellow, inviting storefront. Be prepared to wait in line at least a few minutes.

We tend to get carry-out from them often but recently we decided to stop and dine in for dinner. We were not disappointed. Since we were actually staying to eat I decided to try their avocado […]
