A Hole Lot of Love
From the people that brought you Roburrito’s comes the next adult playground, Glazin’. Welcome to the magical combination of donuts, coffee and DIY White Russians. Do we really need to say more? Glazin’ is one of the newest sweet spots in the Royal Square District in York, but you may feel like you’ve entered into a different realm because of the psychedelic vibe. Glazin’ was hatched on one of Rob’s moped rides when he thought York could really use a delicious escape with a fun atmosphere, and that’s exactly what was created. These aren’t your standard donuts. Glazin’ makes all of its doughs and glazes from scratch, and they source produce locally whenever they can.

"We covered one wall of a room with shelves and filled them with all types of books from Harry Potter to A Tale of Two Cities to PA architecture. It's our library and it just feels right."
