The building is made of reddish-ochre color bricks. The picnic tables outdoor are pink. You know that as you are getting closer to the entrance you will eventually find something pretty sweet: the colorful spot Léché Desserts with many promises once you open its door.
Inside there is the inevitable Charlie and the Chocolate Factory impression. You are on one side of the factory, someone is facing you at the counter welcoming you, and minions behind him or her are busy cooking and preparing more donuts. In front of you at least a dozen different colors - it's hard to choose, so you may have to come back if you want to try them all!
With your pink donut box in hand, you can sit inside, outside, or grab a coffee together with your sugar kick and walk toward the railroad crossing nearby. If you're lucky, you can eat, drink your coffee and contemplate one of those endless trains passing.
