Reigning Doughnuts

Some of the best donuts in town. Have to always stop when I'm in the area. Customer service is great!

We ordered two Honey Glazed Donuts and one Doggie Donut for our pup. Service was immediate and the donuts were sweet, crispy, and had a denseness and color that reminded me a bit of cornbread...I loved it.The coffee however, wasn't anything to ride home about. But if you're looking for something fast in NoDa, it does the trick.

Not the best donuts I've had by any means, but we still enjoyed them. We were recommended the lox donut, which was super interesting and I'm glad we got it. Also ordered the cinnamon apple and the churro donuts. Both decent. I will say that the donuts were greasy for my taste. I know, I know, it's a donut, but some aren't as greasy as others.Service here was good though and I'm glad I went to support a local business!

This is definitely a place you should stop for dessert. I don't hear a lot of people talk about this place after a year and half of Charlotte living and I don't understand why, this place was fantastic.I usually take a pass when it comes to donuts, but these ones are worth the calories. This place is a LITERAL hole in the wall, the donuts are fresh, warm, soft on the inside, and slightly crisp on the outside. Added bonus: the staff was so nice and bubbly, plus the prices are modest (more modest 2 years ago when the price of a donut was $1.49, as of Oct 2023 it's $2.59/donut).

OMG! So good. I am not a doughnut person but these made me one. They are made to order cake doughnuts in a variety of flavors. The smell when you near their location is amazing! We went for one doughnut each so why did we buy a dozen comprised of cinnamon sugar, vanilla icing, chocolate icing, honey glaze, and powdered. Again, the smell drew us in. I loved the crispy bottoms that gave it a crunch with each bite. The donuts are not overly sweet which is even better. The owner and staff are super friendly. You order from a walk-up counter and there are a few chairs and tables available. We chose to take ours to go. They are in the NoDa (North Davidson) Arts district, which is a chilled pedestrian-friendly area with several cute shops and street vendors. Parking is on the street or in monitored lots. They were still warm when we made it to our hotel. They also warmed up nicely over the next few days. We can't wait to go back when we next visit Charlotte.

Good location. Fast service. Good food. Service with a smile! Located in the heart of NoDa!

Came back, and I stand by my review. Amazing! This time there was a bourbon maple frosted donut. It was as delicious as it sounds!

We opened the box once we got to the car and immediately knew, because of how gooey they appeared, we would have to wait until we got home to eat them instead of attacking them right away. Surprisingly, they were still warm once we got home. The box was so heavy though that I was a little worried. Heavy donuts usually indicate undercooked dough. Well, on occasion, I can be wrong and I'm grown enough to admit it. Here is literally how my first try went...1st bite: soft and chewy, immediately thought, "Nope! I knew I wasn't going to like it!"2nd bite: "Ok, not as bad as the first. It's decent I guess."3rd bite: "You know what, this is pretty durn good!"Last bite: "Why didn't I get two?!?!? Should I go back to get a dozen?"My son, who isn't impressed easily, said "these are goood!" So I'm thinking this probably won't be the last time we're at the window.

These doughnuts are probably the best I've had. So warm I love their seasonal flavors. The service is quick and I've even ordered through Uber eats still the same quality. Ambiance is nice walk up when picnic tables.

I recently tried the cinnamon sugar and plain donuts, and while they had potential, it felt like they were auditioning for Great Batter Bake-Off instead of The Great British Bake-Off. The flavor was nice--sweet with a good balance of cinnamon on one and simplicity on the other--but the texture? Let's just say I wasn't expecting a surprise lava cake filling in my donuts.The batter in the middle made it clear these donuts needed a bit more time in the oven--or fryer, in this case. It's like they spent all their time perfecting the packaging instead of the recipe. Sure, the box was fancy, but I'd trade that premium wrapping for a fully cooked donut any day.If they give their donuts the same love and attention they gave the design budget, they could have something great here. Until then, maybe rename them "Half-Baked Bites"?
