    I was very lucky to see an assortment of their donuts brought to work one day. It was honestly such a hard decision to pick one as they all look so delicious! I ended up getting one of their old-fashioned style donuts, which was delicious and not too sweet. I only wish I had space to have some more. Would love to try there donuts again!

    If we were able to give this place 10 stars, we would in a heartbeat. We found this place last year when traveling and we're back in the same area and we had to stop back here at Danny's donuts . The service is friendly, helpful, and very kind and considerate . As soon as you walk in the door, you smell fresh donuts, and you are absolutely in heaven , the selections are incredible. They have plenty of seating inside if you want to grab a coffee or a soda and sit down and enjoy a couple dozen donuts inside you would enjoy yourself. If I was able to do this, I would go in there one morning and try every single donut that they got they are all super fresh, amazingly flavorful and decorated with perfection . The cinnamon roll and the apple fritters are some of the very best I've had in my 60 years of life. If you're in the area or driving down the highway plug the address in and go and support this local business. You will absolutely not be disappointed. We highly recommend Danny's donuts.

    Danny's Donuts is a family owned eatery featuring handmade donuts and breakfast sandwiches, but also offering ice cream, smoothies, and coffee. It is located in a nondescript shopping center near Main Street and Jesse Jewell Parkway. There are five locations in Gainesville (2), Flowery Branch (2), and Buford (1). We ordered six dozen donuts (glazed, blueberry cake, maple bacon, apple fritters, cinnacrunch) and a Smoked Sausage Breakfast Burrito. Danny's offers limited no-frills seating. Customer service was solid and my breakfast burrito was ready within an appropriate time frame. All of the donuts were fresh, fluffy, and tasty. I particularly loved the sweet saltiness of the maple bacon. My husband woofed down the apple fritter before I could even ask to taste it. The breakfast burrito is simple - meat, cheese, egg, diced potatoes, tortilla. But it is also delicious and filling. I am in Gainesville periodically for work. I have been told never to visit Gainesville without bringing a box of donuts home. I am also intrigued with their donut and ice cream concoction.

    One of the few still standing original donut places with out all the commercialism relating to other crappy donut places. Service is quick and easy because of the huge variety of choices. My two favorites are the maple bacon and the best sour cream. They have two locations, the one downtown is the better of the two. You can order donuts and dine in house for they have a dining room. Nothing extravagant, enough for you to wake up with a cup of coffee and a fresh donut to start your day.

    Good service love the donuts and taste of New Orleans Louisiana not to sweet smile in the bag

    A doughnut shoe done simply and right. I'm on a road trip. Made this a destination to stay off the main hwys. I am so glad I did. Fantastic doughnuts. I often ask the employee for their favorites, when it will be the only time I will visit. She picked Apple fritter, maple bacon doughnut and taro Boba smoothie. The Apple fritter was mini. I like that. It was a single serve, packed through with apple. One criticism would be it was almost too sweet and too gooey. I'd prefer those issues rather than the opposite, dry. The maple bacon doughnut was a dream. Fluffy inside, firm bit outside. Just enough sweet, salty, maple flavors to cause me to take a bite, then wolf the rest down. Taro smoothie was fun. Not too sweet. Strangely, I'd describe it as the most purple thing I've ever had. The inside is gutted. Not too inviting, with tables missing or turned over. Just the aftermath of Covid. You want a doughnut, this is the place you should go. Period. Forget the rest.

    Friendly local donut shop worth trying if you're in the area. Employees are always welcoming and greet you when you walk in the door. Donuts are made fresh and priced are very reasonable. I enjoyed the glazed donuts - dough is soft and just the right amount of sweet. I've tried the Apple fritter and it was a bit too oily and soggy. Seating is very limited - one or two tables so I suggest ordering to go. I'd come here than the big chain donut shops anytime.

    We went at 2:00 pm on a Monday. There were plenty of donuts left to select from! They don't require customers to wear masks, but the lady serving the donuts was wearing one. They have lines on the floor for social distancing. We got a half dozen donuts for about $7, including tax. Here's what we got, in order of my preference: - Apple Fritter - Cinnamon Sugar - Old Fashioned - Bear Claw (cinnamon with apple filling; we didn't like the filling that much) - Chocolate with Chocolate Frosting - Red Velvet The Apple Fritter was definitely the best. We would get the first two donuts again, but we could do without the last four. She gave us four extra donut holes and they were delicious! These are good donuts for the area. Great Apple Fritter and great service!

    A local donut spot!! Sweet! I was driving by, minding my business and this place caught my eye. Continued to my destination and said I would stop by on the way back. Rainy day and I honestly didn't want to get out the car again but I'm glad I did! Donuts are their specialty but they sell croissants, coffee and smoothies. You can buy a donut at $0.90 each, half dozen for $4.95 or a dozen for $8.95. I opted for a half dozen and they threw in a couple of extra as a "rainy day special". Pleasant surprise and great appreciated

    Best donuts around!! They are smaller than Dunkin' Donuts but wayyyyyy better. The first time I bought donuts here was about a year when I was in Gainesville. It was around this time of the year when I found myself back in Gainesville. I made it a point to pick up more donuts here this time. Every flavor was just amazing!! The staff was very friendly and kind. Each donut cost 0.90. Cheap and super yummy!! I wish this place is located in Buckhead :D PS. Donuts were too heavenly, gobbled them all and then realized I forgot to take pics ;D

    75 cents to use my debit card. Not worth it they have constantly inflated their prices until they are simply not worth it anymore.

    Fantastic Atmosphere, Food and Service !…read more This is a little gem in Gainesville and so glad we decided to give it a try. Highly recommend and i can rave about their menu as well. Keep up the great job! Will be back next time we visit from Panama City Beach

    This was my second time here. Wife & I were really excited about a new place in Gainesville. After…read moreseeing the menu and photos of the inside, I really wanted to like this place. During today's visit around 1:20pm there was a 20 minute wait which was fine. We waited the full length of time and got seated. Our server was very nice and took our drink and food orders quickly. After getting our appetizer (2 biscuits) we waited 50 minutes for our entree. Almost to the point where we weren't hungry. I was sorely disappointed when my meal, the chicken tenders, came out. They were wet, rubbery, and the breading wouldn't stay on. I completely lost my appetite and sent it away with the check. Our waiter offered a complementary dessert, but I came there to eat a meal. After waiting so long for a meal I was not going to waste any more of my day. What was most disappointing was that despite sending back nearly the entire dish, the entrée was still on the bill. Keep in mind this is not a cheap restaurant. In my opinion, when a customer returns 90% of a meal due to quality issues, that item should be removed without having to ask. Overall, we really wanted to enjoy this place, but between the long wait and poor food quality, it missed the mark for us. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
