The new arrival has gotten an enthusiastic response thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of 19 reviews on Yelp.
Larry M., who was among the first to review it on October 30, said, "Pretty good place to eat. The food appears to have influences from India, as well as Nepal, and the service is pretty fast unless you get the momos. And, speaking of the momos, these had a good flavor, and the sauces are pretty cool."
Yelper Jen M. added, "It was delicious! Think Chipotle, but with Indian food. I had the super bowl. They let me customize everything, even mixed the rices together."
Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Spice 8 is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Sunday, and from 11 a.m.–10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

This place behaved like a seasoned breakfast spot at 10 a.m. on a busy Saturday — but it was 6:45 a.m. on a Wednesday."
Dawn H. noted, "This place is delicious! They have a huge menu, lots of options and a few mix-and-match options so you can try a variety of things on one plate."

Cyrus A., who was among the first to review it on October 13, wrote, "Great corner spot for gourmet doughnuts and delicious coffee! The space is clean and well lit, with countertop and table seating. Service is friendly and helpful — I enjoyed learning more about how the dough and glazes are made."
Christopher L. added, "FunkyTown Donut masters are very inventive. Maple with bacon? Yes, please! Pumpkin pie? Why not? Boston Cream? Of course! These creations are a bit costly ($2 and up each), but what do you expect for an artisan doughnut?"
