    I love the donuts here! Chocolate and glazed are my go-to flavors. The shop is clean and they have a fresh variety. I went on a Saturday at about 11. Everyone was friendly and I am happy I finally tried them out.

    It was so good, I ate it before the photo.  Blueberry Cake

    Ok. I came on a Monday about an hour before closing time... and they were closed. Sign said no more donuts, so that could be a good sign if your a glass half full type a chick like me. Came again on Tuesday- because I ain't playing about these donuts. Came around 3 pm and about half of the shelves were empty. Anywhere else is sold out of apple fritters by 1030 am - but they had 2 trays left. So I only want them if they are sold out- and I got a blueberry cake donut. I wanted to get more stuff and tell u all about it but my cholesterol is high and I'm trying to get my life right. So this blueberry thooooow! Is so light and fluffy and really good. They don't feel heavy, oily and deep fried. So I can come back and get two next time. No coffee though- just donuts. All the frills are in the donuts and not in anything else. Plenty of seating but u gonna have to leave so u can get some water or coffee to wash these bad boys down! Not bad customer service- no frills. Just good donuts handed to u... no smile or extra talk. Just take the good donut and go.

    It was not busy, late in the day, around 4 p.m., so the selection was a little smaller than I assume is the case earlier. That being said, we got half a dozen donuts, two cream-filled donuts, which they do at the time of purchase, which is pretty cool, and an apple fritter. The apple fritter was for a snack for me, but me and my wife tasted it on the way home, and only a small bite was left for me when I got to my driveway. I live 10 minutes from their shop which is in an old shopping center off 54. Nothing special about the location, really, but the filled, glazed, and fritters were very good. This means I don't have to go back to Dunkin anymore :) I will have to go earlier and try more stuff next time.

    Absolutely incredible donuts. Fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. Every bite tastes homemade. Highly recommend!!

    Went later in the day and the selection was slim. Good donuts, but nothing standout one way or the other. I got a cinnamon twist, cinnamon roll, powdered, and crunch. Didn't like the crunch donut, the twist and roll were fine and the powdered took the prize.

    imma be real. i'm a donut connoisseur and these were just okay. we came in around noon on a saturday and they were almost sold out (which was kind of weird considering they close at 6?). the guy helping us was so nice. we ended up getting an old fashioned, blueberry cake and chocolate cake. the old fashioned was crunchy and not that great. chocolate cake didn't taste like anything at all. blueberry was probably the best but it still wasn't anything over a 6/10. maybe it's because we got there too late ? not sure... probably won't be back

    We had already started eating the donuts before I took a picture but wicked yummy! Fluffy and soft and the flavors were great! We were greeted by a smiley face and left very happy. We will definitely be back :)

    Early Bird Donuts is a small donut shop that offers donuts, breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and other…read morepastries. They have the standard types of donuts (glazed, chocolate frosted, vanilla frosted, strawberry frosted, fritters, filled, etc.) Most of the filled donuts are filled to order as you can choose from different types of custard or fillings (Bavarian, white, strawberry, etc.) The donuts are fairly good and for the most part pretty good the only issue is that they run out pretty early. The apple fritters here are massive. They aren't the greatest (I prefer a more crispy outside and doughy inside with lots of apples) but the size alone makes it worth it. The only problem is they sell out really fast so if you're not there before a certain time you'll be SOL. I haven't tried the savory breakfast options but they do look fairly good. The service can range from good to not so great as sometimes you do feel ignored or you feel like you're troubling the staff be being there. I like how they have a retro Street Fighter 2 arcade inside that you can play for free. There is seating inside and a few tables outside. I would go more often but if I can't get there before say 8a - 9a I probably wouldn't bother.

They gave me some recommendations because it was my first time there, which I happily took. The breakfast sandwich and doughnut that I tried were both pretty good. I like that they offer so many different variations of fillings for the breakfast sandwiches, I just wish they didn't charge extra for the English muffin, especially considering that it's probably half the size of the croissant.

I know they make their pastries fresh every day but on a busy Saturday at 10:30 am, the eclair dough didn't taste fresh and was not as light and airy as I hoped. Cream puff was ok. The dough was also meh. BUT the focaccia was amazing!! It was on-sale day old bread but had great flavor and was soft on the inside and slightly crispy in the outside. All in all, for what's in the area and restaurant's atmosphere, it's still worth the trip.

It's got a happy vibe. Second, I like the footprint of the store. You can see the whole process from beginning to end. Third, the shop owner and employees were incredible nice and helpful. Now the negatives. This is a franchise. Because of that, the owners have to live and die by the equipment that they are required to use. And that is most of the problem here. The donuts are unremarkable. While I really do appreciate that the base of the donuts are cake mix, the fryers are woefully inadequate to cook the donuts properly. It's almost as if the oil temperature is too low to give the donuts a nice crispy exterior. The result is a slightly soggy, undercooked donut that falls apart when you handle it. It should be firm enough to support the toppings and actually make it to your mouth without falling apart. Next is the topping issue. The syrupy topping is put on top of the already soggy donut and the whole thing becomes a sticky mess when you try to pick it up and it falls apart. The last thing is the menu. I do enjoy the variety of toppings that they offer. But the menu picture suggests that they have vanilla and chocolate cake donuts, so I order one donut that I believed to be a chocolate cake base and it wasn't. I watched the cooking process and there were only vanilla cake donuts being made. So not getting what is advertised is a big negative. With all that said, I want this little shop to succeed and I hope that they take the necessary steps to tweak their process without getting in trouble with the franchiser. But if they don't change soon, I fear for their future. They seem like very nice people who deserve to succeed!

I'm pleased with Rise's pricing, regular coupon offers for loyalty members, and a reward point system that's easy to track. They've recently sent out coupons in those coupon clipper mailers and I found they carry great value. This Rise location (like their location in Chapel Hill) caters primarily to takeout clients.

Rise's biscuits can't be beat. They are flaky, fluffy, and reheat well.
