A family-run Allentown fixture on West Liberty Street run by owner Tommy Thompson, Mary Ann's draws pre-dawn lines on Fastnacht Day (over 26,000 fastnachts in 2023) and got national attention in January 2026 when Amanda Seyfried named it on The Late Show, after which the shop hand-delivered donuts to Stephen Colbert's staff.
Owner Tommy Thompson (per Lehigh Valley Press, 2023); family-owned and operated.
