Reviews

Was it crispy? Well, yes! I have high standards when it comes to donuts, and this place delivers. I was genuinely surprised by how fresh was — just that timeless flavor you hope for and rarely get.

Listen up if you want a doughnut and you are in Nashville or passing through, do not skip this place! The apple and cherry fritters are the absolutely amazing! Crisp out side, flavor and softness on the inside and perfectly glazed! My words can not explain the perfection of the taste of these giant fitters! No shame in the doughnut game!

The best donuts in Nashville…and probably the best apple fritters I’ve EVER eaten! (And I’ve eaten my fair share all over the U.S.) They offer a wonderful variety of fresh cake, raised and specialty donuts, plus muffins, fritters, etc. and they are priced very reasonably as well! The service is excellent, courteous and very helpful. I generally get a couple dozen donuts when I visit and freeze the majority so I can enjoy them when the cravings are overwhelming…which is frequently. :-)

I'm picky about my donuts. I know this place has been here for years so my hopes weren't dashed. I'm a simple girl so I just got a plain glazed and a bear claw....but I tell you what it was so good I didn't feel basic at all. The plain glaze was so light fluffy and delicious. And I haven't had many bear claws in my life so I don't know but when I grabbed it it had a little wight to it. It was delicious and very filling. Glad I made the stop!

The donuts were soft, light, and delicious! The glazed donut was buttery and fresh, better than classic chain donuts. The chocolate cake donut was incredibly moist and my favorite of the bunch. The shop is super charming and nostalgic!

Stopped here on a whim when visiting from out of town. Very friendly staff and tons of awesome flavor options. Ended up trying their apple fritter, old fashion and the chocolate version, a glazed and a cherry batter donut. All were awesome! Can’t imagine a single of their other flavors being anything less. Would definitely return

There are many new donuts shops in Nashville these days but I think this one is older. There are many choices and their donuts are lighter than other donuts. The atmosphere was so cute and nostalgic and stuff was kind.

I popped in a little earlier today with a friend (we are visiting from the UK). We had just finished a large meal so didn't have much room left in our stomachs. We decided to try and some of the small donuts. The owner gave them to us for free. He was super friendly and told us about his store. He went above and beyond. The donuts tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend their donuts.
