The Donut Shoppe

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Delicious donuts! This donut shoppe just opened and wow, the folks turned out! Came by opening day and they were sold out by 10:30 am! Got here early today and the drive thru was mobbed and there was a line inside! Very friendly employees, super clean and nice and bright inside. About 3 or 4 tables to sit at inside, small eating area. Parking lot is decent-sized but is having a hard time handling the crowds. Please note - door opens into the waiting area so you're opening the door into people that are in line. A bit awkward but everyone in line was nice about scooching! Donuts are yummy! Maple and sour cream front runners!"

Baker's Dozen Donuts - Durham

★★★★★ 4.8 (78)

"We were on our way to Zinc winery and found that this donut shop was on the way. It is an unassuming, unexpected little shop attached to a gas station, which further adds to the uniqueness of the shop. In addition, the donuts are light, fluffy, and fresh, and the jelly-filled donuts are fruity- the most delicious donuts I have had in a longtime! The cashier, who I also assumes makes the donuts, told us her favorite was the cinnamon roll donut, which was the largest donut I have ever seen! This place is also well priced! If I lived close to this donut store, I'm pretty sure I would visit weekly."

Mochinut

★★★★☆ 4.1 (65)

"I've been here a few times and really love everything about this place. I brought a friend who was visiting and she got a peach drink that she loved. We shared the churro caramel and chocolate doughnuts. I didn't care for the caramel flavor but the dark chocolate was delicious. You place your own order at a kiosk and they assemble then call your name. Really easy. The bathrooms are very clean as is the store. I just love this place and highly recommend it. We didn't get the Korean dogs today but I've had them and love them also!"

Tepuy Doughnuts

★★★★☆ 4.4 (35) • $$

"My FAVORITE donuts in Raleigh! Dough not sleep on these... get it?? Of course you do. That was a bad pun... Jokes aside, these sourdough doughnuts have changed my opinion on doughnuts. I used to not be a fan of them in general but after discovering Tepuy, my world has changed. It did a full 180, as the kids say. I love the lemon poppyseed so much! As well as the other handful of doughnuts that I've tried, honestly. You really can't go wrong. Tepuy doughnuts are handmade fresh and always delicious. They're always cranking out new flavors and have even created special donuts for holidays like Maddi gras. I'm always recommending them to friends... I even offer to go with them (mainly so I have an excuse to eat more doughnuts). If you haven't tried them yet, DO IT. treat yourself."

Sherrys Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (57)

"Not being a local, maybe I just don't understand the nostalgia. It's located in the heart of downtown Dunn, NC and with 35 reviews, which seems to be a lot of reviews for any one place in this area. So, they got fans. The decor is dated, but not the dirty kind of dated. There is actually two parts of the business. One is the bakery counter and the other, is the grill. My husband inquired about a bologna sandwich, but he was told the cut is thin and the "Red brand" and that most people don't like it. We appreciated the honesty and stuck with appeasing our sweet tooth.I ordered the chocolate covered, cream filled donut. Honestly, I've had much better. The cream in the middle was minimum and was only in the center of the donut. My husband insisted that his donut didn't taste fresh. Maybe we each ordered the wrong thing, so I won't ding them too much. Just not a place that I'd go out of my way or walk two miles to get to again."

Mr. A's Beignets

★★★★★ 4.7 (115) • $

"I had been passing this food truck for days on my way to visit my dad in hospice down the road. When I saw it open again, I got two orders of powdery goodness. I was so happy with the fresh beignets that looked fantastic and smelled even better. Paid it forward with a tip for the hard working crew of the truck, and a box for the reception desk on the way to sharing a last breakfast with my dad. We could have been sitting outside Cafe DuMonde in Jackson Square-these were that good! Thank you Mr A for a special moment, and some special beignets"

Duck Donuts

"My favorite donuts! I think the base donut is the best and I love all the ways you can customize them! I also had one of their frozen mocha drinks and it was yummy!"

Sola Coffee Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (624)

"Sola for lunch ..is a good idea! Everything from the food, service and ambiance left a great first impression. Met a friend and got the half sandwich (curry chicken salad on baguette) and salad (maximized living salad,which is now my new favorite salad.Stood in a fast moving line and received service with a smile. The staff seemed cheery/friendly and was happy to remove plates etc once done eating .They are closed Sunday and Monday and do not have evening hours or WiFi. However, there is free parking in the lot, indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of reasons to come back!"

Early Bird Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.2 (178) • $

"Delicious! The donuts were warm and being made in small batches so they were constantly providing fresh warm donuts. This takes a ton more time but with donuts it's worth it! Sooooo good. The apple fritter and cinnamon bun were my favorites. The savory croissants were just ok. The sausage one, had lots of sausage in it but I think it needed some melted cheese, sauce or something to be less dry. Also, the savory croissants did take a bit longer to make, so if you're in a rush, I'd suggest sticking to the sweet stuff!"

Monuts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (582)

"Amazing donuts -- crispy on the outside, fluffy and tasty on the inside, and always some new interesting flavor. We like the cinnamon buns too! And when you get a dozen donuts (or pastries and donuts combined), there is a discount.This time round we had apple cider donuts (standard and good), cranberry earl-grey donuts (one of the day's specials), and ginger hibiscus donut (another special). They were all good!We also had raspberry jam scones - delightful texture on the outside, full of jam on the inside - good, but very sweet, and not really a scone. More of a jam tart.And of course, we got a couple of the cinnamon buns -- they have a lot of sugar on them, but they're delicious.But what makes Monuts exceptional is really the donuts - both the unusual flavors (which are always changing) and the texture (crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside). It's clear that they really work hard at this, and the results are exceptional. I think they open at 7:00 am, and often there's a line at that hour. Come by at midday, and they may be out of almost everything. You'll see in the pictures I posted that it's dark out (as in not yet light) -- we got there early to get a good selection."

Big Doms Bagel Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (128)

"They have amazing bagels and actually toasted it the way I like it. It was covered in cream cheese and it was just delicious. The coffee was also good. There is no where to eat inside, but there is a bench outside. Don't bypass it because of this though because you will miss out on a great bagel. And, their health score is 100!"

Donut Daily

★★★★★ 4.8 (45)

"TLDR: All the donuts we tried were good - The old fashioned was by far the best!After yoga, I decided to stop here for coffee and a donut. The shop is located in a plaza with a decent sized parking lot. Two employees were working behind the counter. They greeted me and took my order. I decided on an iced horchata latte and four donuts (cinnamon sugar, chocolate with rainbow sprinkles, chocolate old fashioned, and French cruller. All were good, but the old fashioned was the best. The horchata latte was different yet still good. The prices and portions are reasonable. Go early if you want the best selection. The donuts are homemade and once they run out for the day they don't make more (great for reducing food waste). I arrived around 12 pm on a Sunday. They still had ample donuts to choose from, but they did run out of multiple types. I do wish the donuts were packaged in a box rather than paper bags. They may do this to keep the cost down. If you order a dozen, then the donuts are packaged in a box. Even in the bag they did not get damaged on my drive home. Overall, I had a positive experience here and recommend this donut shop to others!"

"Cute spot! Decently quick for the small place that it is. It's was nice to see that they have smoothies and such if you've already had too much coffee for the day."

Cafe Soul Cups

★★★★★ 4.6 (39)

"I have been wanting to try this place since I first saw a Raleigh foodie on IG post about them. My family and I had lunch in Cary so since we were in the area, I thought it was a perfect place to get dessert. The cafe is so cute when you walk in with a little couch to sit and a bookcase full of books and trinkets. They have a display of the things they offer right at the front counter so it's easy to see what they have. Unfortunately they had sold out of all the donuts by the time we got there so we weren't able to try those this time. We did get the fruit bingsoo, mitsugaru and almond croffle and chocolate croffle for my kids, and iced taro latte and white chocolate mocha for my parents. I also got the sweet potato yakgua for a to go treat because they're my favorite Korean snack. The bingsoo is my favorite Korean dessert so hands down gets a 10/10. It is shaved iced with condensed milk and was filled with strawberries, mango, blueberries on top and little pieces of mochi. The shaved ice was sweet and creamy and the fruit added its own sweetness and tart flavor so it balanced out. Mochi gets a little hard when it's cold so it was a bit hard and chewier but it was actually really good with the bingsoo and gave it texture. I love that they put fruit at the bottom and top so you have enough to finish the dessert. The croffles were delicious as well. They were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The chocolate one was of course the kids favorite, very sweet and the whipped cream added a lightness to it. My favorite was the mitsugaru and almond one. I love almonds and anything with a light nutty flavor, and that's exactly what it gave me, nutty and sweet. The taro latte also gave a sweet and nutty flavor as well, and that's what I was expecting after reading about taro because I've never actually had it so it was a surprise for me and now I realize I love taro lol. It paired perfectly with the croffle. Although it was expensive (my dad spent about $50-$60) , I think it's a nice place to get a sweet treat once in awhile. I'll definitely come back here just to have the taro latte and bingsoo. Hopefully I'll be able to try the mochi donuts next time!"

Bright Spot Donuts

★★★★★ 4.5 (34)

"This place is so delicious!! Now while the donuts are tasty, for me the galettes are where it's at. Those things are like little flavorful masterpieces. The galette madam is my favorite, but their seasonal heirloom tomato galette is spot on as well (more for lunch than breakfast). The croquettes are also super tasty. I love how unique their breakfast offerings are!On to the donuts. My only thing is the way they pack them. I got a filled donut and one of their honey ones and by the time I got home the honey one waa flatter than a pancake. It was completely smashed by the filled donut. I still ate it, and it still tasted good. My son loves the chocolate frosted donuts, those things are a hot mess though. So much chocolate! I appreciate that they leave wipes out at the water station so you can wipe your children down. Oh and don't sleep on the iced mocha! They use the same chocolate glaze that they use on their donuts. It's super delicious!Parking is easy on the street or in their lot. They have a few tables that you can grab. And bonus, if you have a child obsessed with trains, you can scope out the trains on the tracks while you are there!"

Mochinut Raleigh

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"Mochinut has finally made it to the Raleigh area. A friend recommended we check out the new location in the Pleasant Valley strip mall which is located within our neighborhood. The staff here are so friendly and courteous. I brought my mom who is 70 to enjoy a Korean corn dog as well. She decided on the original with half cheese, half hot dog and a chocolate churro Mochinut. She enjoyed both. My friend and I had the flaming hot Cheetos corn dog with mozzarella, a Minions donut and a matcha boba tea with popping peach boba.I enjoyed my matcha boba tea. The mochinuts were warm and chewy. Definitely stop by while in the area for Korean treats."

Heritage Donuts

★★★★★ 4.6 (56)

"Ok, January has been the month of no sugar, no carbs, no alcohol, no starch and no Doritos!!!! Well, on Friday, some well intentioned co-worker decided to bring in a box of some of the best donuts you will find in the Triangle. Fabulous!! I did not partake!! So, my review is on the past samplings I have had from this donut shop, which is situated in the Publix shopping center on Rogers Road. To simply put it, they're awesome. The owner is nice and the staff is friendly. They offer a wide selection of flavors and rotate them on a regular basis. What gets me about these is that they are not heavy. The donuts are sizable but don't fill you up or, sit heavily in the stomach all day. Which is a good thing for the "old timer" like me. Definitely pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed."

Boulevard West

★★★★☆ 4.3 (82)

"Coffee is a solid 5 stars. We have had the coffee specials of the day and really enjoyed them. Staff is friendly and efficient, don't have to wait long for drinks and food after you order at the counter. The food is ok. Had sandwiches here before - turkey and cheese had too much yellow mustard and the chicken salad had pickle and watercress that just did not hit the mark. Pound cake today is really cold that makes it not exactly pleasant to eat. Will come for coffee and skip the food going forward."

"We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine:Parking: FOOD TRUCKLocation: FOOD TRUCKDecor/ambiance: 5Customer Service: 5++Man ohhhh Man -Yelps - let me tell you something... If you get a chance to catch Dusty's Donuts do not walk pass this truck without stopping. You can often times find Dusty's at the Walnut Creek Amphitheater. They have a full calendar of events that they are attending on their website! These donuts are SOOOO amazing. They are made fresh and are hot when they hit your bag. The pricing is great! We contacted Jake (owner of Dusty's) in regards to having them do a 'pull up' at our wedding! Jake was soooooooo accommodating and he was such a delight to work with. He tailored a package just for us to meet our needs. The price he quoted us was amazing! The service that he provided was world class. Our guests were all raving about how they loved his donuts. It started to rain during our wedding yet Dusty stayed in place to see our guest served through the entire 2 hour time slot! Phenomenal service and amazing job working with Jake and Dusty's Donuts! A supreme flawless 5 stars!"

Carolina Glazed Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.4 (168) • $

"10/10 for taste, because it is hard to get here during early hours for my particular schedule, personally it's a 4.5/5. But the hours and limits of available donuts are the nature of a fresh donut shop so my Yelp rating remains a 5/5 stars. If I have to give one item of feedback to the location, it would be amazing if they had a true website or even a social media site that had their true hours and up to date news. Nothing fancy, but a simple website with current contact information and hours particularly if they're going to close. But all of the above is absolutely worth it for the amazing taste of these donuts!! There isn't a wrong option! But the maple, strawberry, and Boston crème are the literal best!"

Daylight Donuts

★★★★☆ 4 (66) • $

"I really enjoyed the donuts at Daylight. I love that their name fits their business hours. Opening as early as 5 a.m ! The donuts are made fresh. Very fresh, fluffy and delicious flavors. I visited today to order a dozen to share with a group as a token of appreciation during breakfast. This place was very busy with many ordering their treats and taking them to go. There is plenty of seating inside which is great. Customer service was fast and friendly. I decided on the Old Fashioned, Sour Cream, Chocolate Frosted, Lemon, Apple Crumb, Glazed and Cake flavors. My favorite is the Sour Cream ! So moist !!!!! So delicious. I also enjoyed the Old Fashioned as well. I was looking forward to a French Crueller but learned that they no longer make those. I can't wait to return and try their other goodies."

Bakers Dozen Donuts 2

★★★★★ 4.6 (202)

"My coworker recommended this donut shop a while back but I haven't had an opportunity to try it until now. The business was located in a shared lot with multiple other businesses. There is plenty of parking in front of the business. The shop was clean and had colorful decor inside. The bakery offered donuts, other pastries and drinks. We decided to get a half dozen donuts that has a fixed price. But if you get any of the specialty donuts then you have to pay an up charge for each specialty donut. The clerk was friendly and patient while we decided what to get from the variety of donut options that were available. I tasted the chocolate with custard filling and the glazed donuts. They were really good! They were soft and melted in my mouth. I tasted one of the donuts the next day and it was still soft. The bakery definitely used fresh ingredients. These donuts are way better than Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme. I will be back!"
