Moonrise Doughnuts

When my sister asked if I wanted to go with her to get some doughnuts at 7 p.m. at night, I was a bit confused. But now I get it! Moonrise Doughnuts opens at night -- hence the name -- and sells its delicious doughnuts until they sell out. On the night I visited, they only had the special of blueberry doughnuts and orange donut holes left. I can't wait to try more of their sweet treats, but these were more than enough to satisfy a craving for morning pastries at night. These were also delicious the next morning, so if you want doughnuts for the morning, cross that to-do list off your list and pick these up the night before. I will be back on a future trip to see my family in Northern Kentucky. A new tradition? I hope so!

Went in and the cases were empty except for a few donuts. They had no glazed or maple donuts. Also they had no coffee. To be honest, it seemed like they were upset that I even showed up. I left without buying anything.

Awesome donuts and I love that they are open late! I'm not always a morning person and sometimes on the weekend I just don't want to eat for a few hours after I wake up.I did like they offered gluten free though only on tuesdays I think they said.They did offer fresh hot donuts though I declined since I wasn't really sure what donuts those would be and I was still browsing.

I stopped by for a donut or three after hearing about Moonrise from a friend. She knew about the other location, which is open later in the day, but when I googled the place, I saw that there were two locations. I opted for this one because I had a morning hankering for something sweet. There were two other customers there when I arrived, and both were getting a dozen or more donuts, so it took awhile to order. The woman who was working the counter was also making donuts, so that slowed things down too.I ordered the day's hot donut, which was Darth Chocolate. The employee gave me two because they were coming out small. I also got a glazed donut. The chocolate donut was delicious, and the glazed was good. Holtman's still reigns supreme, but Moonrise is a viable competitor.

Love their gluten free doughnuts. It's a real treat for me to have something that's gluten free tastes so great.

Reading the other reviews, I realize how lucky I was not to wait in line. Timing is everything! Speaking of timing, do your homework on Yelp before going. This is an evening donut shop...that's a new one for me. So no worries about beating the morning rush with all those peeps on their way to work bribing all their coworkers with sugary yummiest. I originally headed out early in the day for a good selection, to realize they open at 4 PM!I have so many decisions to make this morning...cherry, blueberry, maple, chocolate or so many others. I had read about their hot lemon, but sadly no lemon on the evening I went. They said to follow them on Facebook, and about an hour before opening they post the daily specials. I will be watching for lemon...in any of the forms they told me they have them. Think lemon cheesecake...can you tell lemon is my favorite? There was a hot orange being offered, but I noticed that as I was checking out. Next time I'll check that first. What could be better than a warm donut???I shoved a Cherry Cordial in my mouth the moment I got in the car. It was heaven in a bite. And the women in the shop were so friendly and helpful. It has a small town feel in a beautiful section of Covington I hadn't been to before. (I am new to this area, having moved here recently) I will be following them on Facebook and the next time they feature lemon, I will be heading over here. If they can do this with the flavors I mentioned above, just think what they can do with lemon. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Head on over and see if you can score you're fave flavor here. You'll be glad you did.

Absolutely delicious doughnuts! I'm always so excited about Yelp Elite events bc it gives me a chance to visit a business I've never been to before, like Moonrise! They serve a hot doughnut each week. The week i went it was a pumpkin doughnut with glaze. It was so delicious! I barely made it out the parking lot, and I didn't get a picture of it. I also bought a few more, bc the hubs needed to taste this deliciousness!

My gluten-free donut go-to! Tuesdays only though. Go early for the best chance at getting some. It's exciting to have options.

Tasty classic donuts and the hot ones are always great if you're eating in.Cool and fun concept to have fresh donuts in the evening.My only wish is they would do an additional batch of special donuts and maybe forgo a classics batch.I've gone several times on a Friday evening around 6 when I'm able to after work and they're always out.Definitely come within an hour of opening if you're expecting to get any special you see on social media.

Super fresh donuts in a cute location. Lots of parking behind the store. The hot donuts are amazing!
