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.

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

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.

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

Chocolate glazed cream filled and donut holes

Love the new Buford location. The donuts were light and airy. I got the chocolate glaze cream filled. The filling was so go. They even threw in a few free donut holes

Ava helped us and was absolutely awesome and friendly throughout our visit. We started with beinets that had a lemon curd smear on the serving plate. The beinets were perfect, airy, light, hot, and covered in powdered sugar. They were awesome without the lemon curd but, when you added it to the beinet, a very tasty addition. We also ordered coffee and a cappuccino with vanilla, both fresh, hot, and tasty. We then ordered the she had the Avacado toast with crispy potatoes and I had the fried chicken and bourbon waffle. She really enjoyed the avacado toast as it is her favorite place to have this meal. The chicken was fried perfectly, with the right amount of heat in flavor, the bacon jam and maple syrup, what a great depth of flavors, I absolutely loved this dish. I had some of her crispy potatoes, they were awesome, the salting was spot on perfect and added so much flavor. We love this place, a great morning date, or a place to bring the kids, it is charming, vibrant pink color with gold accents throughout makes it a special place. We will of course keep coming back.

The atmosphere inside the repurposed old house gives it a fantastic, charming aesthetic--my wife absolutely loved it, and anyone who appreciates historical character will feel right at home. The drinks were great. My wife had the whipped coffee, which was wonderfully sweet with a rich coffee froth, while my regular drip coffee was delightfully strong without a single hint of bitterness. The food was outstanding: Pork Belly Benedict: Massive portion size and extremely filling. The substitution of cornbread for a traditional English muffin was a highlight--it wasn't dry at all, leaned moist, and had a great kick of spice. The pork belly itself was tender, savory, and sweet. Southern Smothered Biscuit: The biscuit was cooked to absolute perfection and large enough to satisfy a big appetite. The chicken sausage was surprisingly thick and savory--impressively rich and juicy for chicken. Our server was quick, highly responsive, and catered to our table continuously. Exceptional food, unique charm, and great service. We'll be back soon!

Unfortunately, our excitement quickly faded before we were even seated. When I walked into the restaurant, I was completely ignored by a young blonde employee named Claudia who was standing behind the counter in the waiting area. She looked directly at me and continued what she was doing without so much as a greeting or an acknowledgment. A simple, "Good morning, someone will be right with you," would have gone a long way. Since no one else was in the lobby and I noticed a clipboard on the counter, I politely asked if there was a waitlist. Claudia responded with an attitude that she "wasn't the hostess." I calmly asked where the hostess was, and she simply replied that she was clearing tables. There was no offer to help, no explanation of the process, and no attempt to assist me. She continued interacting with other staff members while I stood there feeling like an inconvenience. Thankfully, another employee who appeared to be a waiter noticed me. He immediately picked up the same clipboard that had been sitting on the counter, took my name and phone number with a cheerful attitude, and let me know it would be about a 15-minute wait. His professionalism completely contrasted with the poor customer service I had just experienced. Once seated, our waiter was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was also very good. I ordered the Chicken Sausage Scramble with hash browns, and it was delicious. My friend ordered the Catfish and Grits and thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. The food and our waiter helped redeem the experience, but first impressions matter. Management should ensure that every employee understands that providing basic courtesy and hospitality is everyone's responsibility, not just the hostess's. Even if greeting guests or managing the waitlist wasn't Claudia's primary role, there was no excuse for being dismissive or rude to someone walking through your front door. Alpharetta has no shortage of excellent brunch spots with both great food and outstanding customer service. Sadly, because of the way I was treated before I was even seated, I won't be returning to The Southern Porch. I also won't feel comfortable recommending it to friends or family. It's disappointing because the kitchen and our waiter did their jobs well, but one employee's attitude overshadowed what could have been an otherwise enjoyable brunch.
