Don't have to go to heaven, I've been to Bakers Dozen! no nonsense fantastic donuts - get the apple fritter while it's warm and you won't regret it read more

This place is a hole in the wall kinda place. I got here and they had a lot of options, i ended up getting a dozen mixed donuts and they were pretty good. They had sold out of some of their donuts but the ones i ended up getting were pretty good. The service was good and they don't offer seating so it's more of a to-go donut shop which i enjoy anyway. My family tried some and enjoyed them as well. Will definitely come back and try the apple fritters they were unfortunately sold out of. read more

Amazing value & bang for your buck. 7-8 dollars for only six donuts. Super friendly customer service and family run business. Lots of different flavor and options and made fresh on site. read more

Its like a chinese takeout place. Zero ambiance. Great donuts, great value. Nuff Said.

The best and closest donuts to donuts from the tri state area. The apple fritters are soooo good.

Great place for Donuts! Hint, go early because they sell out of their popular items early! This is a small place so pick them up and take home. They are made fresh every morning. Don't forget to get a dozen or two holes to eat on the way home! read more

Baker's Dozen donuts are the best in town, hands down! I've been visiting periodically for the past 18-months and every visit has been as spectacular as the last! As someone who has eaten donuts all my life, I can attest to the freshness, flavors, and consistency of BD donuts! The staff at Baker's Dozen is always speedy and cordial. They are happy to help you to assemble the best assortment of doughy treats, and then send you on your way to enjoy them. The shop itself is no frills! Wait in line, get your donuts and maybe some coffee, and head out to chow down. Highly recommend Baker's Dozen for anyone who hasn't had it, and who may be looking for your next top donut shop in Raleigh (and beyond)! read more

Baker's Dozen sells the best donuts. I ordered a half dozen and selected a maple icing raise, lemon filled, buttercream filled, sugar raise and two apple fritters. The apple fritter fell victim first on the car ride home, it was amazing. The rest of the donuts were tasty too. This spot is a must visit for donut lovers in the area. read more

Saw the reviews and had to try these donuts and fritters. The donuts are delicious and there is a wide variety of them to choose from. The old fashion ones are my favorite. As others have said the apple fritters are the best I've ever had. After I got home I warmed one up in the microwave for 10 seconds and OMG it was crunchy on the outside and soft and slightly gooey on the inside. Run don't walk to get these. read more

Visited here for the first time.. and it won't be the last! Absolutely amazing donuts!! Picked up half a dozen and it was so reasonable. They have bags of donut holes in bags ready to go, also so delicious! read more

We went here on a whim and we were so impressed! Excellent pricing and donuts were all delicious. We got a mix of yeast donuts and cake donuts and they each had lovely flavor and tasted fresh. Only tiny complaint was that the lemon filled donut did not have very even distribution of filling but that was easily solved by being cut in half and smearing the filling around. We will definitely be back! read more

I bought a dozen for a meeting coffee break. And I think Ive found the best donuts in the Triangle. Light, the traditional glazed are not too sweet and its extremely hard to eat just one! read more

Get there EARLY if you want choices, call the day before if you need a quantity order, don't be surprised if they're out of everything by noon on a Friday, and always get an Apple fritter or Bavarian cream if they're available. Ambiance is fine if you're facing the glass case, lol, but the rest of the store is just for waiting. They don't want you to stay, there's no plan to sit, so take your donuts and go. It's better that way. read more

Baker's Dozen - My donut pride is no where near as sweet this box of fritters and thangs I preordered for my workshop students. - Donuts Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I was looking so forward to visiting this place. I've lived here 3 years and would think about going then just would change my mind. I decided to go today because I have a friend visiting so I brought a half dozen home. Service was fast as there were only a few in the store. The donut cases look appealing and clean. I got a filled raspberry glazed, filled lemon glazed, Boston cream, chocolate glazed, strawberry glazed, and a chocolate frosted sour cream. Right off the bat, I was disappointed. The raspberry and lemon filling have an off putting flavor so I am assuming it's purchased elsewhere and not made in house. While the raised doughnuts are nice and soft, they really are too commercial for me. I can tell it's not a homemade doughnut like my momma would make. The sour cream doughnut was good but the frosting on top ruined it for me. It was way too sweet and I was wishing I had gotten plain ones. Overall, if you aren't spoiled like I am by enjoying homemade doughnuts all your life, you may love these. If I was craving a doughnut I'd go back and get a plain doughnut. Not a bad place at all, just me liking homemade flavors and not factory made fillings. read more

Maybe on a curve - compared to other small business donut shops in the area - this is a great place, but my experience was just average honestly. Yes, the donuts were good - light and fluffy - but nothing so unique that couldn't be found elsewhere. Also, the coffee was watery and needs to be better/darker; the prices for both were decent though. The service was average - employees weren't friendly - and the vibe was average, too; pictures showed tables and chairs, but it's strictly an order-pickup type place. Overall, this place was just okay. I'm surprised by the raving reviews. I've eaten at many donut shops, and compared to them it's just average and expected; maybe for the area it's great but I rate it a 3/5. read more

Phenomenal donuts! Apple fritters are best I've ever had! It's a no frills don't shop- don't expect much, take them to go.

Best donuts in town. Always delicious and the apple fritters are incredible. Our family won't eat any other kind!

Excellent donuts! I only had the chocolate buttermilk but I wish I had bought more of those. Several people came in to buy donuts while I was there. It got busy so that says something. read more

Located next door (connected) to the Shell gas station Great find! Very good selection to choose from - not just your same-old-same-old donuts. of course they have the usuals, but you'll enjoy options The Buttermilk donut was soft & fluffy w/ a nice twang. Chocolate cake donuts had good flavor but was a little dry. Old fashioned & cinnamon sugar donuts were fresh & tasty. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Bakers Dozen yet. I'm a doughnut snob...and very particular about raised yeast donuts vs. cake donuts. I find cake donuts to be too dense and sit heavy in my stomach. Duck Donuts seems to be everyone's go-to and the #1 recommendation when I asked around for the best donuts. Bakers Dozen! Amazing. Yes, they have cake donuts too but their yeast (raised) donuts are beyond! Many flavors to choose from -- glazed, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and maple frosted. Plus every now and then they have the same donuts but with sprinkles! Yum! The donuts are fluffy and practically melt in your mouth. The icing did not taste like dye like many of the chain donut shops. BUT, the biggest surprise for me was the APPLE FRITTER. OH. EM. GEE. I'm not a fan of any dessert that contains fruit. Especially hot/cooked fruit. The apple fritter was crunchy on the outside and perfectly light on the inside. Each time you take a bite, I'd get that perfect tiny pop of frying oil which says "FRESH". Even if you don't like apple fritters, try this! It turned me around and I'm now obsessed. They are one of their most popular items and they sell out quickly so make sure to go early. read more

This is by far our favorite donut place in the area! Big fans of the vanilla cake and buttermilk donuts! They certainly know how to do it at Baker's Dozen. Never disappointed with an experience here. This place is a hole-in-the-wall place, right next to the laundromat...but trust me don't let the location deceive you. Once inside the staff and place is very inviting. SO SO SO many donut choices (though they will run out)! Love this place read more

Have ordered many times in the past 3 years and every bite is amazing, the donuts are perfectly iced and flavored perfectly. Service is great, fast in and out and they even smile. read more

Best donuts in town. (Maybe the world). their apple fritters and bear claws are amazing. Too. read more

One word...."YUM!!!" Glad they aren't located right next door...that would require a gym membership to counteract that tastiness!

A hole-in-the-wall donut shop. Fresh donuts. I went hoping to sit and have a leisurely donut and coffee. This is not that place. While the donuts were excellent, it's not set up as an eat-in location. read more

My journey with Baker's Dozen was nothing but unique and well worth it. ' After reading reviews from other people stating that the donuts run out very quickly and that you need to be there before 11 am to have the full selection, I decided to take it a step further. I decided that on one Saturday morning, I would wake up at 7 am to arrive there at 7:30 am to get my donuts for the day. As I got in the car, I realized how crazy this sounded but decided to follow through anyways. Once I arrived at Baker's Dozen, I was surprised to see that not only was I not the only person there, but I was actually towards the middle of a long line that was forming inside the store. At 7:30 am, there was already a large group of regulars who showed up very early to get their donuts. As I waited in line, I had time to figure out what I wanted to get and read reviews on the Apple Fritters. After checking out and ordering one, I can confidently say that it was my favorite out of all the ones I ordered. The crispy outside and subtle apple taste really did it for me. I definitely recommend you come to try this place out if you have the time (and are willing to show up early in the morning). Great handmade donuts and fantastic reward for an early morning. *get the apple fritters!!!* read more

Nothing wrong with their donuts at all. Certainly aren't fancy or gourmet like Voodoo Donuts or Blue Star out West, but even so, donuts were staisfying. Prices are fair and service is quick inside with multiple people working the counter on a Saturday morning. It is definitely a popular place as there were at least 6 or 7 people in line. Parking is free and easy out front with plenty of spaces available. Didn't try their coffee but the few donuts choices we tried were fine. Not memorable, but nothing wrong with them at all. We'd go back,satisfying. Pro tip: if you know what you want, order in advance and go and pick them up as they'll have them boxed up for you. You can probably skip the line this way. read more

I have called ahead on several occasions to ask if they had certain donuts available and no one has ever answered the phone. I go there and no customers were there and one of the 2 employees was eating their lunch (instead of answering the phone) and they only had about 25-30% of the donuts available at 3:30 PM. (3 hours before closing). Very poor customer service in my opinion read more
