I wanted to bring donuts to work and I wanted something different. You know, not the same ho-hum donuts everyone brings. Don’t get me wrong those are good, but Jupiter Donuts are just spectacular. Their large selection of handcrafted artisan donuts is quite amazing. There is something for everyone; filled, non filled, and every one of these glorious donuts are beautifully decorated. Christine was very helpful in helping me pick my selection and she is super nice. In fact, everyone who worked there was beyond helpful. You can tell how passionate they are about their donuts and how proud they are to show them off. What a great group of people and the store is very clean, and they even have a small TV in the corner. The donut engineers work all night and they only use the freshest ingredients. Each donut is created by an engineer who lovingly designs each one with thought, effort & love. My coworkers loved them and they commented on the pretty presentation because they almost looked to good to eat, but of course they ate them anyway. I heard good things about the French Toast & Red Velvet Oreo! I had the Butterfinger but I only ate a small piece. It was delicious but a little rich and sweet for me. My donut was so moist and it just couldn’t be any fresher. So good!!! Jupiter Donuts has their own blend of coffee. Every cup is freshly ground and the machine is calibrated to the perfect brewing temperature. I didn’t try the coffee but it smelled so good! They do sell bags of the coffee, but Kcups aren’t available. They serve a variety of breakfast sandwiches on your choice of croissant, bagel or a donut?!? Yup, they have a bacon, egg and cheese on a glazed donut. Is this a thing? And for my Jersey friends they have Trenton NJ Pork Roll & I know for sure that’s a thing because my dear friend actually ordered this when we went out for breakfast a few weeks ago. You can find these crazy good donuts at any of their other Florida locations: Jupiter, Royal Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, Stuart, Boynton Beach and Largo. There are plenty of tables to eat inside, and of course takeout is always fantastic. You can even call in your orders to have them ready for you. I mean, how much easier can they possibly make it? They are open seven days a week from 6am to 2pm BUT they close when they sell out. My suggestion is to get there early. Camp out outside their door if you have to, just do whatever you need to do to get them while they are available. Remember when they sell out they are done for the day. The donut engineers work hard all night so they are nice and fresh when they open at 6am. Located on the north side of Spanish River between Dixie and Federal Highway.

Manley Donut – Menu with Prices – 1423 Bird Ave, San Jose

Definitely 5 stars. From the fast moving line (especially in the morning), to the helpful man who served me my 3 dozen donuts, to the EXTRA big donuts he threw in for free…I was so grateful! I will definitely be back again, if only to be greeted with a friendly smile by the donut server. Really though, bright and early in the morning, and a happy experience at the donut shop? That’s worth 6 stars. Their donuts are yummy, very filling, and they have multiple coffee pots available with varied flavors and decaf options too. Don’t be deceived if the place looks closed – it’s most likely open…it’s just a little dim around the area. Hope you grab a chocolate twist donut for me. Enjoy!

Donut House & Bakery – Menu with Prices – 3916 McDermott Rd # 110, Plano

In town on business and saw this donut shop while driving by. Must say, their donuts are perhaps the freshest I’ve ever had. Light and airy, too. Perfectly flavored and didn’t leave that sticky sweet ill feeling most donuts produce. Better than the donuts is the owner! She was so nice and helpful! She even carried my extra coffee to my car and wished me a beautiful week! This is my new go-to donut shop when in the area! PS: the kolaches looked delicious,

Duck Donuts – East Cobb – Menu with Prices – Merchant’s Walk Shopping Center, 1281 Johnson Ferry Rd, Marietta

What a great donut shop! I came in very excited to try the new donut shop! I was not disappointed. I have never heard of a make-your-own donut shop until today. What a creative idea! You can order custom toppings, icing, and whatever you want! They also have a menu of types of donuts you can order if you don’t know what to pick. I will admit that it is overwhelming to decide what topping you want, there are so many to chose from! I ended up going with the Cinnamon Sugar donut! The prices are very reasonable. Only $1.50 for custom donut. What a bargain! I highly recommend Duck Donuts for any type of donuts! They also have coffee, hot chocolate, and breakfast sandwiches. I will have to try that next time!

Donuts And Ice Cream – Menu with Prices – 2252 Euclid Ave, Ontario

What I’ve appreciated most here, is that even when many other donut shops have long since closed for the day, this place has had a full selection of decently fresh donuts. I’m sure many people have had some experiences trying to find good donuts during the later hours of the day. Many donut shops, (if they are even open), have little selection remaining, and/or donuts that aren’t fresh, or are even stale. But It’s not like that here. They do have nice donuts in general here. They also even threw in several complementary donut holes when I’ve bought a dozen donuts. I’d recommend it, especially for those looking for the sometimes hard-to-find, nice donuts, during the later hours of the day.

Donut Delight – Menu with Prices – 225 E Amherst Dr, Tyler

I was craving some donuts here in Tyler, and this spot had the best reviews on yelp. My consensus? Friendly service, good variety of donuts, but on the sweeter/oily side on the donut spectrum. There’s a good amount of parking, especially when you go early in the day. They share parking in a plaza with a bunch of other shops/stores, so don’t worry about getting a spot here…even during peak times. Donut Delight is a tiny shop that seems to have a lot of local support. They sell donuts as well as breakfast tacos (which all have meat), kolaches and beverages. I enjoyed the donut holes, but they were on the soft side and left that oily aftertaste. I think I’ve been spoiled by Round Rock Donuts and my favorite donut shop in Austin. BUT their blueberry and old-fashioned donuts are pretty good. They bag all your donuts up for you, and service is with a sweet smile. Support your local businesses! It seems like Donut Palace is the chain to go to here in Tyler, but I’m all for supporting the stand-alones.

Cider Belly Menu with Prices 25 N Pearl St, Albany

Well, I see no lies, these are for sure the best donuts I have ever had. This is an adorable little donut and coffee shop on North Pearl. I am sure they are very busy on weekdays with people grabbing a pick me up on their way to work. Even on a Sunday morning, with some really unfortunate road construction, the place was busy with people constantly in and out. I was lucky enough to enjoy a fresh, hot, sugar daddy. It was a perfect apple cider donut, hot and fresh, crusted with sugar. It was so soft and pillowy and moist, best donut ever. Their selection is huge, and all of which sounded amazing. I can’t wait to get back and try a lemon donut, a bacon one, all of them. I’ll have to grab a dozen. Get in here and get you a donut!

Donut Palace – Menu with Prices – 2810 Schaad Rd, Knoxville

This area of Knoxville has been in need of a quick breakfast spot, especially one that opens up before 6 A.M. every day. For the price and quality, The Donut Palace is going to do well. The donuts are made fresh every day/morning. Please keep in mind this isn’t a Krispy-Kreme, there is no “hot light”. So the donuts you eat may be at room temperature, but that’s why the microwave was invented. And guess what, they have one in the store. These donuts are also much larger(and cheaper)in comparison to DD or KK. I purchased some donuts and a breakfast croissant sandwich, along with some coffee. They automatically heat up all the sandwiches and Kolaches, so if you don’t want anything warmed up, let them know. For 5 dollars, you aren’t going to find a better value breakfast. I think this will be my go-to donut dive from now on. I will end with a comment on the customer service. The employees there are extremely friendly and even prepare your coffee with any sugar, creamer, or flavoring you want. They are incredibly efficient at taking orders. They have multiple people working the counter. Do not be worried if there is a line, they will get to you shortly. Job well done to them, and I hope this place has many years of patronage.

Thunder Donuts – Menu with Prices – 2929 SE 44th St, Oklahoma City

I love Thunder Donuts. Their yeast donuts are super light and fluffy. None of the donuts are oily. A dozen donut holes are $.99. Their sausage rolls are pretty tasty because they use their yeast donut dough to make the roll. They offer 3 small sausage rolls for $2.49 or $.99 each. They also have large rolls. Additionally, they have small and ginormous breakfast sandwiches on croissants that look really good but I haven’t tried them. I always gravitate to their yeast donuts, but the cake donuts are special as well. Eventually I am going to try their apple fritter because it looks gooey and delicious. All of their donuts can be filled on the spot in your choice of three fillings, which is a nice touch. What really makes this donut shop extraordinary is the service. There is never a line because there is always two girls working the counter, along with the owner/baker. All of them are incredibly helpful and friendly. It is a nice change of pace to the typical attitude of fast food workers. I wouldn’t necessarily make a special trip to this side of town for the donuts, but if you happen to find yourself in Del City you should definitely stop by. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Donut Palace – Menu with Prices – 6024 Broadway Blvd, Garland

We know this place is made of love. The owner are the most sweetest morning humans ever. The donuts have so much flavor. Not too overly sweet. The bacon donut is my favorite. The donuts never over or under cook. They also have cute friendly designed donuts. Want a Cookie Monster one ? They have it!!!!! They also have savory breakfast donuts like sammiches. My coworker loves it when I bring donuts to work cause they are just too good. Better come try it out yourself to know my hype.

DONUT QUEEN – Menu with Prices – W Park Blvd #112, Plano

Typical Asian (pretty sure Korean) owned donut shop that provides fresh donuts at a reasonable price. They also have some specialties (cronuts) and do customized donuts (name spelt donuts). We actually sat down at one of the two tables available to enjoy our donuts this past time. The lady working later then brought us two chocolate and two strawberry frosted donut holes in a bowl for free to us and said we should have told her we were staying as she would have given us a plate instead. She also told us which of the two coffee pots were fresher when we ordered coffee. One had just been brewed. Super nice. I also often find a couple of free donut holes in my to go bag each time I visit. Will definitely be back!

Shipley Do-Nuts – Menu with Prices – 6362 De Zavala Rd #101, San Antonio

Stopped in this morning for a quick breakfast. Place was nice and clean. My kiddo and husband said the kolache’s were amazing. The donuts were fresh made. I had the Boston cream donut and enjoyed it a lot. my daughter had the vanilla sprinkled donut and a strawberry sprinkle doughnut but preferred the vanilla sprinkled donut. The gentleman at the counter was very polite he even brought out some fresh hot glazed donuts for us to try. They also had cake donuts but we did not try them. Recommend you to try it.

Ball Donuts Menu with Prices 2121 E Ball Rd, Anaheim

You know when you are hooked on these new creative donuts and you just happen to find a name you thought was one of those hip locations, but when you pay a visit, its NOT. Yup, they got me. With only 20 Reviews, my suspicions were correct. It was just a local donut shop that is on Ball Road. If you just want a good cheap donut, come by Ball Donuts in Anaheim. Honestly, I know I would be pushing it to go to a specialty donut place during my lunch break. So, I saw the name on Yelp and said, “Let’s Go!” Located on the north side of Ball Road behind the car wash in a small shopping strip, you will find, Ball Donuts. Parking is tight when you have so many cars parking in angles and delivery trucks blocking the path. Ball Donuts opens everyday at 4am. Whoa…I wonder who is awake at 4am. It would make sense at 5am, At 4 am, that where they serve their best and HOTTEST donuts. Unfortunately for me, I came in at noon and they didn’t have much of a selection left. And they close at 8pm? Not much left for choices by the end of the day. I was greeted by an elderly Asian lady. Apparently, other Yelpers have met her too. She was very warm in her welcome. She automatically wanted me to try the Blueberry Donut. Blueberry Donut?! I’ve never heard of that before. I saw it, but it was hard to tell it was a Blueberry Donut. So, I got a Blueberry, a glazed, and a lemon-filled sugar donut ($2.95). I don’t have a price on a dozen donuts, but she quoted me for three dozen donuts for $8.50. Not bad for those large workplaces who devour their donuts. When I brought to my donuts back, I had to dissect it. The first one on my list is the lemon-filled powdered donut. Before I even tried to open, it looks like Ball Donuts slices their donuts versus injecting the donuts. I wasn’t sure if its classified as a donut or a sandwich. Yeah, it may have been made out of cake batter, but it was cut like a sandwich… A lot of the filling was on one side of the donut. It wasn’t really spread out evenly. I didn’t feel heavy eating it and that was a DONUT! However, I did fall asleep for a bit. Must be the side effects of a delicious donut. The highlight of the visit wasn’t the lemon-filled powdered donut. It was the Blueberry Donut. OK, it wasn’t decorated any special, but it was made out of BLUEBERRY! You’ve tried a Red Velvet Donut! Then try a Blueberry Donut. Its fruity and with the light glaze, I still didn’t feel guilty for having it. Overall, Ball Donuts is a family shop. Its a small family donut shop. I love how I was greeted, love the price, and the donuts were just as good without the fancy donut names. I am all for small business and if you want to feed the morning crowd at work and donuts is the only thing you are after, come to Ball Donuts. They’ll be ready for you and your large orders. Still trying to not laugh when I hear the name, Ball Donuts. Yelp…My passion is not to write my reviews, but to share my experiences with you. Take that journey and share your story.
