Honestly I wasn’t impressed. This place has great reviews and I’ve even been here a few times but I just don’t love their donuts. I’m simple when it comes to donuts. I don’t like anything too sweet or too fancy. When I go to donut shops, I always try a glazed donut and maybe a chocolate frosted (without sprinkles). Those are always the best measure of how their donuts truly are. I love big, fluffy yeast-risen donuts, don’t really crave cake donuts as much. I stopped in today on a late Tuesday morning and got a glazed donut plus their fruit+custard cronut. The glazed donut here was tiny and light. Since the donut was small, the glaze was overpowering. There’s a picture posted with someone’s comments saying best glazed donuts ever and that is a total lie. I’ve had plenty of donuts and their glazed wasn’t better than the rest. The fruit and custard cronut was ok. The dough was chewy but needing a bit more crust on the outside. The custard and fruit didn’t really add much spark. Didn’t feel like this place was that special. Just ok. Happy that they are doing well though! Just not the shop for me

Country Style Donuts – Menu with Prices – 4300 Williamsburg Rd, Richmond

When you’re craving a donut you have your got to spot. Well for me, I’m still hunting for my donut spot. KK just has a spot in my heart for life. And to be honest, I’m not a huge cake donut fan. The denseness is too much for me. So while I was in the area, I had to stop in for a donut….or four. Closed on Monday’s but open 24/he the rest of the week, this tiny donut shop had some tasty options left for me. I’m sure it’s best to get in here early in the day for all the best picks! I ordered: Raised sugar, Plain, Glazed and Peanut. My least favorite was the raised sugar and here’s why. The sugar literally did nothing for this donut. It fell off with each bite and the donut had no flavor or desire to finish. I loved the peanut as it was glazed with I think maple flavor in the glaze and coated with peanuts. The crunch, the sweetness and the cake donut just satisfied my craving! I love just a plain donut and even though it was plain, it still had a hint of sweet. The glazed is a basic necessity and favorite. Their donuts are thick and delicious. Small donut shop that’s 2 miles from RIC airport. So if you’re ever in a need for donuts and you’re in the area, pop in here and you won’t be disappointed.

Honey Donuts – Menu with Prices – 2141 E Arapaho Rd, Richardson

I’ve lived in the area a little over a year and have finally found the absolute best donut in town. We ate a lot of donuts in the meantime, but Honey Donuts made it all worthwhile the minute I walked in and she handed me a warm glazed donut. I’m a baker, from a long tradition of bakers in the family, but we don’t fry at home a lot for various reasons, so when we partake of deep fried deliciousness we want the best. Honey Donuts delivers! Their glazed donuts are so good, completely enrobed in a glaze that’s not too thick, not too sweet, with a hint of vanilla and honey. The glaze had dried to a perfect consistency and not sticky. The bottom of the donut had a lovely crispiness as well. I thought those were the best donuts I’d ever tasted till I had one of their cake donuts. Wow! I’m hooked. This is not your ordinary, run of the mill donut batter that all the donut places in town seem to buy en masse, this was unique, delicious, perfection from someone who cares about offering a quality product. The best thing about this place besides how sweet the proprietors were, was they were frying another batch of donuts at 11am and the case only 1/3 full and the shop empty. The reason? Even though they had plenty for me to choose from, they fry donuts all morning so they can offer the best donut no matter what time you happen to walk in. I was actually headed to another donut shop, but I’m so glad I stopped here!

Donuthut & Deli Menu with Prices 2401 M St #100, Bakersfield

Donut Hut & Deli absolutely has donuts! I did not notice a deli, though. Did I miss it? Was hard to peel my eyes away from their fully packed and nicely presented display cases. Bought me two donuts to satisfy my sugar craving. One Custard filled Chocolate donut and one Chocolate French Cruller. Was surprised it costed me almost 4 dollars for just the two donuts, but it was nice of the guy to add some glazed donut holes in the bag. The Chocolate Cruller tasted yummy. Donut holes were good. Was disappointed with the Custard filled Chocolate donut because there was very little custard inside. Tough luck for me. Despite the fact that I was not happy with one of the donuts, I’d still return the next time I was in the area craving my sugar fix. The shop was neat and tidy. Nice seating area. Polite service.

Central Donuts & Bakery – Menu with Prices – 9500 Ray White Rd #167, Fort Worth

This was my go-to donut shop when I lived in the area several years ago. They had THE best apple fritters, which are my favorite, and THE best glazed donuts. After I moved away, I held every new donut shop’s apple fritters up against theirs and none ever passed. Theirs have apple filling you can see and taste. The donut itself is on the thinner side and with crispy outer edges. I love getting the different textural bites, some crispy and crunchy and some soft and gooey. The glazed donuts and donut holes are fluffy and just melt in your mouth. They are so light and airy and there is just enough glaze to give it a sweetness without being super sweet. You can’t get glazed donuts like this at just any other donut shops. I also enjoy their chocolate glazed, cinnamon rolls, and cake donuts. Sausage rolls are pretty standard. I was in the area recently and decided to stop in. Walking in, I was very pleased to see the same owners still there. They have always been super friendly and welcoming. I saw the same gentleman I remember working hard in the back making the donuts. You can even see him through an opening in the front. The kids in front of me were fascinated by him doing his work. It was cute. I got my beloved apple fritter and a few others. The fritter looked the same but honestly did not taste the way I remembered. The outer edges were crispy but the inner parts had a slight chew to it. It tasted good so perhaps just a hiccup in the cooking process. The glazed ones looked lighter in color but were just as fluffy and delicious. Still a very solid donut shop in the area!

Mel-O-Cream Donuts – Menu with Prices – 217 E Laurel St, Springfield

My wife and I stopped to get a dozen donuts for the family. When you walk in, the counter to order donuts is straight ahead. There is a big area to the right that has a lot of tables.The glass case with all the donuts is big but not huge. There is a decent amount of variety to choose from. We got some chocolate with custard filled, raspberry filled, regular glazed and chocolate covered.The custard filled were ok but only about half filled with custard. The same was true for the raspberry filled. The glazed were a bit dry.Service was very good as the lady behind the counter was nice. The place was clean. The prices were good.Overall, the donuts were slightly above average. There could be more filling since we ate half the donut before hitting the filling.

OfKors Donuts – Menu with Prices – 4862 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota

We were vacationing in the area and always look for a good donut shop when we’re on vacay. OfKors hit the spot! They had a nice selection of donuts and we tried quite a few different flavors, including their gluten free cake donuts and a cronut. Everything we had was very tasty. We got there around 8am and to our surprise, they weren’t busy. They lady helping us was super nice and patient with us as we made our selections. They had quite a few different choices, probably around 15 different yeast donuts – including your classic glaze and iced. The donuts were a little pricey but hey…it’s vacation. We spent a little over $30 for 15 donuts.

Sweet Donuts – Menu with Prices – 800 E Arapaho Rd #112a, Richardson

I was up early and it would be hours until lunch so I needed something to tie me over until lunch. This place was on my way and I stopped to check it out. It’s a donut hole-in-the-wall place as most mom and pop donut shops are. The guy behind the counter is stoic. It was relatively late and there wasn’t a huge selection. Normally I get a buttermilk (cake) donut, but it looked like they were out. I instead, got two glazed donuts. The donuts themselves were pretty good. Average to above average. The icing was still moist, enough that it didn’t fall off when you bit into the donut, but not so moist that it stuck to everything (other than the donut). I could have used the donut just fried a little more to make it more crisp, but that’s getting a little nit-picky. At $.65 each, that’s $1.41 out the door for two glazed donuts. Yes, I got three free donut holes, but that’s a relatively expensive donut. I can get cake donuts at other places for $.75 and I think that’s verging into the high side. Glazed donuts should be closer to $.50. I know what you’re thinking, “What’s $.15, dude?” It’s not that it’s just $.15, it’s that it’s 30% more than what I would expect to pay. I probably won’t come back here when there are better donut places with a better selection for better prices that are nearby.

Glazed & Confused – Menu with Prices – ​211 N Clinton St, Syracuse

DONUTS. How can you say no? Let’s start off saying that the donuts are all cake donuts. They aren’t super dense by any means, but don’t go in expecting any soft, light, airy yeast donuts. That being said, I ordered almost every single donuts here. The only donut I didn’t get was the powdered sugar one – I opted for 2 glazed sprinkles instead. I bought the Confused Dozen, which was 4 “Classic” donuts and 8 “Confused” donuts. The classics were cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, glazed sprinkles, and chocolate with chocolate sprinkles. There were 8 other Confused donuts which I’ll mention below, and they had one weekend special, which I didn’t opt for this time. My order of best to worst (but not really worst, because donuts aren’t bad) donuts: 1. Lemon Drop with Blueberry Pop: THIS IS AMAZING! Hands down the best donut. The fruit in the cake dough kept it light, the lemon glaze brightened the whole donut. I could order an easy half dozen of these alone. 2. Up all Night: a regular cake donut with coffee glaze and crushed espresso beans on half of the donut. The coffee added a great kick of flavor and helped balance out the sweet dough and frosting. YUM. 3. Chocolate Raspberry Torte / Black Out: These are VERY similar. I love chocolate, so these are both placed pretty high for me. The 2 differences between these flavors are the toppings and cost. At $1 per donut, the Black Out is one of the classics – simple in execution and taste, but still packs a punch with decadent chocolate flavor. The Chocolate Raspberry Torte honestly tasted the same. Don’t get me wrong, its extremely good, but for $3 a donut, I would have hopped there would be more than a small drizzle of raspberry sauce and one fresh raspberry on top. If I had to get one of these, I’d opt for the Black Out to save the money. 4. What the Fluff?: I grew up in MA, so PB and fluff is a no brainer. This was a great combo. They made the fluff into a smooth buttercream that wasn’t as sickeningly sweet as straight from the jar, and the PB was strong in flavor. The plain donut underneath made it easy to taste all of the flavors of the PB/Fluff and was a great pairing. 5. Carnival / Sugar Daddy: Glazed sprinkles and Cinnamon Sugar. Need I say more? Good, classic donuts. Can’t complain – well made donuts here! 6. Notorious B.I.G: Chocolate and PB – the best pairing ever made on this planet, right? Well, in this case, all the components were delicious individually, but when put together, the chocolate cake was just SO chocolatey that it overpowered the PB cream – at least to me. My boyfriend seemed to think it was fine, but I wanted MORE peanut butter! Maybe I should have grabbed a knife and spread the buttercream… 7. Cereal Killer: Good, not great. Fruity pebbles are the best, but the glaze on mine never hardened, so the pebbles were soggy. Even fresh though, I think this would still be too sweet for me to finish a whole killer. 8. Dizzy Pig / Pardon my Strawberry French Toast: Just not my cup of tea. I don’t love maple bacon as a flavor combo though, so take my opinion here with a grain of salt. I just found the maple too sweet, and the bacon not salty enough. For the Strawberry French toast, I jsut felt disappointed with the lack of strawberries overall. I wanted more fruit, and it didn’t deliver. Overall, great cake donuts. I’ll probably come again, but maybe just get one or two donuts at a time. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!

Baker’s Dozen Donut Shop – Menu with Prices – 1307 Buck Jones Rd, Raleigh

This donut shop is pretty average. I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to get donuts here, as the flavor was very bland and they didn’t taste fresh. I came at 9:30 AM on a Saturday, and the donuts didn’t taste fresh or warm at all. If you do find yourself here, I recommend the apple fritter. I agree with the other reviews, this was the best thing at Bakers Dozen – between the texture, the pieces of apple in the fritter, and the level of sweetness. I’d follow that with a crueller – plain glaze. The crueller was light and airy, and had a decent amount of moisture in it. My husband liked Devil’s Food cake, as it also wasn’t super dry like the other donuts, such as the chocolate glaze or old fashioned. Buttermilk was probably my 3rd favorite, but it really did just taste like sweetened bread, not a lot of flavor or uniqueness. I try donut shops regularly, and I always try the plain glaze. The plain glaze here tasted no different than Dunkin Donuts to me. My husband said the crumb cake offered a little more flavor, but still didn’t wow him. A friend said the chocolate glaze donut just tasted like a conduit for chocolate glaze, and the donut didn’t offer anything complementary to the average glaze. I’m looking for a balanced donut with a delicious glaze to complement a delicious donut that’s not overly dry. Bakers Dozen didn’t deliver, unfortunately. I gave it more than 1 star because the apple fritter was tasty, probably would’ve been better warm. But I don’t think I’ll make a habit of visiting this spot.

Fill Bakeshop & Creamery – Menu with Prices – 1767 Newport Blvd, Costa Mesa

We were pretty excited to see that “ponde ringu” Mochi donuts we’re available in SoCal since it’s one of our favorite snacks in Japan, from Mister Donut. We did the hour drive down to Newport Beach to see what was up with these, and how it compares to Japanese Mister Donut. Overall they’re pretty dang close. They definitely captured the right amount of chewiness and overall didn’t taste too sweet (like Mister Donut). Fill has it’s own take by putting on different glaze toppings to give them unique flavors. The one thing I was missing from Fill is a simple glazed Mochi donut. Overall, while good, I didn’t think the various flavors were anything outstanding and that only made me wish they did a simple glazed even more. The highlight for me was the matcha-White chocolate, since I love most anything matcha and the icing they use def had a clear matcha flavor. I also liked the strawberry icing donut. Very strong strawberry flavor which was nice. My next favorite was the milk and cereal. This was the closest to a plain glazed and I suppose if you take off the bits of captain crunch it would be a plain glazed. The other flavors were fine (guava cheesecake, coffee and cream, coconut) but I probably would just stick to the other three if we’re down here again. The biggest difference to Mister Donut in japan is the cost. These donuts are 2.60 each ($33 for a dozen after tax – whoa!!!), Mister Donut is about 1.25 – $2 (for the fancy seasonal filled Mochi donut) but obviously if we’re not in Japan, Fill will give us our “fill” of tasty Mochi donuts. Worth checking out for sure if you’re homesick for Mister Donut ã?ã?³ã??ã?ªã?³ã?°

Krispy Donuts – Menu with Prices – 3403 Louetta Rd Ste E, Spring

Hooray! I get to be the first person to leave a review on this establishment. I happened to stumble upon this place while driving home. The owners of the donut shop are the sweetest human beings I’ve ever met. They were so happy and welcoming. I ordered a glazed donut, a chocolate glazed donut, and a sausage/egg/cheese croissant. They even warm up your croissant for you if you want. This has to be a new donut shop because I don’t see how there aren’t any reviews already made. The donuts were like a hybrid of Krispy Crème and Shipley’s donuts in my opinion. I took a bite into one of the donuts and the interior was as soft as a cloud. The one thing I truly appreciated from their donuts was that it was not overly sweet like most of the big chain donut shops. I highly recommend those who are close to give this mom and pop shop a try. I love and a huge supporter of mom and pop shops.

Parlor Doughnuts – Menu with Prices – 12 NW 3rd St, Evansville

I found this doughnut shop by sheer happenstance as I was on a morning walk. The entrance and signs would be easy to miss if you donâ??t look for them. When I first stepped in I was expecting to see fairly common glazed donuts like everywhere else. . . First surprise. Their donuts donâ??t look like everybody elseâ??s donuts, they look more like pastries and are bigger. . . Second surprise. Forever the skeptic I ordered one not knowing exactly what to expect. It was love at first bite. I was hooked. Best donut ever. . . I had one with vanilla glaze on it and I tell you this donut is in a league of its own! Fresh and delicious, delectable melt in the mouth. Your gonna cry when you finish that donut cause you know itâ??s gone. . . I am kind of glad I found this doughnut shop on the last day of my trip. If it had been on my first day, I would have eaten myself into a sugar coma, still wanting to clutch another one of these donuts so i could eat it first thing when my senses returned.
