Hero Doughnuts & Buns

DELECTABLE DINER EATS!!!Okay sooo... watz up here??? Pastries? Donuts? Cinnamon Rolls? Secret Atlanta code words for something else?!? Well, I'm TOTALLY intrigued! Located on the outskirts of downtown Atlanta, away from hustle & bustle around Centennial Olympic Park, the area it sits in, is not suss in any way. Yelp directions are on point. No street parking, just gotta go behind the building to access their dedicated car spots. THANK GOD there is functional A/C inside cuz HOT-Lanta gatz the heat AND humidity... UGH!!! Counter service is friendly, patient & helpful. Menu is actually a bunch of brekkie eats from the grill, burgers, chicken sandos, coffee drinks, Big Hero "Drinks" and a variety of donuts of unique flavors. My big question is, CAN I USE A DONUT for the burger bun??? Cuz I can not find dat option easily in Cali :( After proposing the request to the Lovely Lass runnin' the counter, what seemed like a lengthy discussion with the chef, I got the thumbs up! Oh yeah, HERE WE GO!DOUBLE DAD BURGER & REVENGE OF THE NERDS ( Mango Glaze) RAISED DONUT: THIS combination is ABSOLUTELY DEELISH! Two beef patties, Pepper Jack cheese, jalapeños, Duke's Mayo, and bacon jam surrounded by a Revenge Of The Nerds Donut! Apparently if they do the Donut Burger, it is typically done only with a simple Glazed Raised Donut, which they were out of on our visit. Maybe that's why there was a lengthy discussion with the chef? Nonetheless, I thought my Nerd Donut Burger was STRAIGHT BOMB DIGGITY!!! That mango glaze combined with Jalepeños & Pepper Jack cheese, tho... LOVED the Sweet and Spicy interplay! The beef patties were moist & flavorful. Cheese was melted perfectly. Combined with good sized portion of crinkle fries... what a DELIGHTFUL lunch this was! Thanks for honoring this customer's request and making this burger happen cuz it's gotta be one of my faves in da USA! :)LITTLE HERO CHEESEBURGER SLIDER: Our Baby wasn't too hungry but wanted a little something for the road so he went with a Little Hero option... cheeseburger & fruit! Not as good as my Donut burger, but he enjoyed it ;)DOUBLE HERO CHEESEBURGER: No one else in the fam was interested in goin' outta da box and wanted to keep it "normal." So Double Heros for the rest of my boys. Simple, yet much better than any Big Chain burger we coulda munched on. Beef Patties here were equally skillfully cooked as mine. Happy campers here!BANANA PUDDIN' SHAKE: This was quite flavorful with the taste buds definitely sensing the Banana Pudding effect! Not too thick or watery. Perfect consistency to enjoy slowly. VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Love, LOVE The Donut Burger option!! We shoulda hit this place earlier during our Atlanta visit so I coulda come back for seconds! A family fave for our Atlanta run! Enjoy :)

Cute little niche spot that seems to get a lot of foot traffic. I've only ever been for breakfast and always been satisfied with the "made-to-order" freshness and quality of the food (I really like the toasted buns that they use for their sandwiches).The service is solid, but not exceptional and the parking lot in the back may be spotty depending on when you go. The doughnuts, though good, are a bit pricey and probably not worth the associated price tag, but that's more of a subjective thing (I'm certainly goin' elsewhere for doughnuts!).Overall, I have no outstanding gripes or complaints - I can dig it!

I only got one dish from here, the loaded hashbrowns, but it was tasty and filling. I wasnt expecting the food to be as delicious as it was, but I was suprised. Comfort food! The inside of the restaurant is bright and beautiful though small. I'd come back for other things on the menu especially since the service attendant was kind and gave me recommendations.(Ordered take out).

I've visited this place on several occasions. I love its addition to Summerhill and the variety. We've tried most of the donuts! Loved every one of them, but am a lover of the peanut butter!!My go to lunch order is the chicken sandwich. I usually just get the black coffee, and they even have carafes if you are wanting to get coffee for up to 10 people! It comes with cups and stirrers, etc.The location is great and as of now there is ample free parking across the street!They have both indoor and outdoor seating.The vibe is casual and they are usually quick with your order..although it isn't fast food.The bread is always baked fresh and is amazing!!!I take my family here from our of town as the price is decent but still on the pricey side compared to chains!Go check this place out!

Got to try Hero Doughnuts and Buns located near the Trilith Studios! When first entering, I enjoyed the retro style interior design. I came with a large group and the staff was very accommodating and had a great attitude! We decided to try an assortment of donuts and I selected the hash brown platter with chicken added. They had fun donut flavors and I had a chance to try the tiramisu donut which was pretty good. I appreciate that it wasn't too overwhelmingly sweet, and the cream filled inside helped balance the icing on top.I also enjoyed the hash brown platter as each hashbrown "cube" was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The egg was cooked perfectly, and I opted to have chicken with this dish. I think if you are looking for a cute and fun place to have breakfast, Hero is your place! They also have other items if you are craving more lunch items than breakfast.

A ton of delicious donut shops are popping up in Atlanta but Hero is definitely my HERO. When Hero moved into Summerhill, I was skeptical about a donut chain coming into Atlanta - and boy was I wrong. I love a soft brioche donut and Hero Doughnuts are definitely soft and fluffy. Grab a kolache (jalapeño is my fave!) or a homewood donut (strawberries and creme is a classic combo). Parking is available in the back and on the street, but there's also plenty of free public parking all around Summerhill. PRO TIP #1: cinnamon rolls are only available on Saturdays, so get them before they sell out! PRO TIP #2: they've got mimosas and aperol spritzes for $7 on the menu on weekends which is the perfect way to start the day with a donut. Can't wait to stop in again for more brioche donuts and brunch cocktails soon!

This location is located down the street from the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Downtown Atlanta. The location is right next to Hot Dog Petes and is located in a small apartment complex with some parking out back that are clearly labled. If you can't find parking here, you can park across the street or find street parking nearby. Service is siple, just place your order at the counter next to some delicious donuts that are all made in house. There are indoor seating for communal seats and some individual tabletops. Outside you have some seating and the Hot Dog Petes has kind of a beer garden style benches which I'm not sure if they are open for patrons of Hero or not. They do everything fresh. The donuts are made fresh in the morning. They also squeeze their own orange juice in house. The hamburger buns are also made inhouse, which serves for some tasty burgers. In my order I went with the Classic Double and Crincle Cut Fries. The toppings were fresh. The Tomato was Orange which was nice. I am guessing they are organic? The lettuce is shreded and even though it said it had onions, I didn't really taste them. The meat was juicy and I could taste the beef, but perhaps some additional salt and pepper on them might season them up or perhaps some burger seasoning. As I was eating, this was juicy and good, but didn't quite hit the spot. The crincle cut fries were pretty tasty on their own. You didn't need much of ketchup or salt to enhance these. Service is a little slow, as everything is made fresh, so make sure when you go, you know what you're getting. Quality over quantity, so be patient. Employees are nice and sweet to interact with, so come in with a smile. I would recommend for a good burger. Which is on a 8/10 for me. Pretty good. The donuts are also very tasty and they have really good breakfast sandwhiches that are made with the same buns used on their burgers.

I was in the downtown area and needed a spot to check out for breakfast. Due to a stopped train in a train track that diverted me from my first choice, I ended up at hero. History: based on my quick research I determined that this spot originated in Alabama in 2017. It started out as a pop up shop. They pride themselves on using brioche style, yeast for the doughnuts and bread. Today, they have 6 brick and mortar locations serving breakfast plates, burgers, salads, and of course doughnuts! You can also order coffee drinks and crunchy cocktails. Parking: honestly, I don't know if I parked in the right spot, however, there is a lot at the rear of the restaurant . The spots are limited, but luckily we scored one! I did not see any place to pay, so I assume it's free parking.The inside of this spot is small! There are tables, but not a ton. They also have a cute patio and it would be perfect in warm days! You order your food and pay at the register. If you are dinning in you will be given a number so they can bring your order to your table. The staff taking our order was nice. She helped me decide on a doughnut to try. I ordered the folded egg and cheese bun. It is only $5. However, she asked me what meat I wanted and I said chicken sausage. To add the meat is an additional $3.00. I also ordered a cup of coffee and a bread pudding doughnut. My mom ordered the Hero breakfast plate with chicken sausage. The total came up to like $27 prior to me adding a tip. The food was brought to our table in about 10 minutes. My mother immediately noticed that they failed to give her the chicken salad with her plate. They also did not provide me with my coffee cup or my doughnut. When I received my cup I went to pour coffee in my cup from the drink station. They had options for both pat and almond milk. Both containers were empty. Remind you it was only about 9am in a Saturday. Maybe they just forgot to refill after the early morning rush? The food was good. Nothing that I will be driving from my side of town to get. However, if I am in the area I would not be opposed to stopping for a bite to eat in the future. A few things to note- the hash browns are more like very think diced potatoes and NOT your tradition shredded potato hash browns. The doughnut I tried had an interesting consistency and taste. I think I need to try a different flavor to provide a true rating for the doughnuts. Overall I would recommend checking this spot out if in the area!

Doughnuts were SO FLAVORFUL here. I got a pistachio, coconut and banana pudding. All the flavors are so potent so they def did their job. I think they could have cut back on the sweetness just a little but with coffee it'd be great! I would recommend the filled doughnuts over the regulars though. They're much more moist inside than the regular ones. Even though they all had flavor, the texture could have been slightly softer.

In my search for some food near my hotel, I saw Hero pop up on Google Maps, but I didn't know what it was. Upon further investigation, I see that they have donuts. So, yes, I had to stop. Stopped in to grab some to go. I went with the blueberry lemon crumb, banana pudding and the peanut butter crunch. All 3 were still somewhat fresh about 12 hours after I ordered them. The PB crunch was good. Little pieces of Reese's and some other round chocolate confection. Can't go wrong. The banana pudding was just ok for me. Im not really a banana fan when it comes to pastries. But it wasn't horrible. Plenty of filling. And the Blueberry lemon crunch definitely had the blueberry taste, but the crumbs didn't taste lemon-ey at all. It was still good, though. I would go back.
