DETROIT, Mich. — Dutch Girl Donuts, a Detroit bakery serving fresh donuts and hometown nostalgia for generations, has opened a second location in the city's North End.
The new shop is located off East Grand Boulevard and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., or while donuts last.

Truong said the donuts are made fresh daily and the response from the neighborhood has been enthusiastic.
"I am grateful for them," Truong said.
Customers who have long made the trip to the bakery's Woodward Avenue location said the expansion is a welcome change.
"I've been waiting for forever for them to move here. Normally, I got to go down Woodward but now I'm right down the street," Dejon Coleman said. "Simple old Detroit Flavor, you can't beat it."
"Second location equals good," Erica Hicks said.
For North End resident Sylvester Jennings, the new location is practically in his backyard.
"I just live a few blocks down so that's why I came over," Jennings said.
The new shop drew a steady crowd of first-time visitors and regulars alike.
"I had to try this new spot out," Memphis Douglas said.
"I know they're going to taste great, they're Dutch Girls," Darlene McDaniel said.
"These donuts are the best," Tiffany Gilmer said.
