I didn’t know their simple and will try. To answer your question, perhaps donuts aren’t her main product, for me it’s more about pastry which is a side bonus for bakeries, thought if I go to a personal shop I expect 95% hand made products but that my differ depending on the culture (I’m not from the US). Also they may be just cheaper (taking into account your time)

Right, and to a consumer this is all opaque.

You go to a place advertising itself as gluten free / vegan / celiac safe / whatever .. and its been outsourced.

Once it's outsourced, all bets are off. Who knows if the vendor subbed it out further, etc.

Which is why for a certain level of food sensitivity it's almost not worth eating out. It comes down to - do you trust random strangers with your life?
