    So are you in the mood for quality simple donuts? Then please run here. I was extremely impressed with everything I took a bite of. This isn't Vortex (items piled on top) or Hole (artisan donuts made while you watch) so this is the simple donut done right. Glazed, blueberry, old fashioned. Oh, it was so good. I'm happy Waynesville has this amazing place - all the fun donut places are in Asheville which is quite the drive! The couple recently moved to the area from Texas (I believe) and opened up shop about 6 months ago, at the time of this review. It is a chain shop but opened by this lovely couple. I hope they succeed, which by the look of the drive up window line, they are doing quite well.

    Excellent service and the food was fantastic. Breakfast burrito was plump and delicious. Donuts are fresh and the apple fritter was amazing.

    Outstanding. We got a box of 6, probably in the top 2 or 3 donuts shops we have been to. People were nice too!

    We always have to try a donut place out everywhere we go. Fortunately, there was only 1 donut place…read morehere in Cashiers, so we didn't have to choose. Sugar Cloud has a very attractive store front and the interior matches that. I love all the things they have displayed in the store with coffee and candy and other stuff for sale. The display of cupcake and brownies were very tempting, but I was focused on the donuts. The best pricing would be to get half a dozen or a dozen (buy 5 get 1 free). We only ended up getting 3. The donuts are large in size and they make their own dough daily. First one we tried was the filled chocolate buttercream. It was truly FILLED with chocolate buttercream. Every single bite had chocolate buttercream. It was definitely fresh and delicious. The Samoa and maple bacon did not disappoint either. Although they were good, I felt the pricing was a bit steep and they weren't he best donuts I've ever had. But it was worth the stop and the calories!

They were totally unenjoyable, and after ensuring it was all of the donuts - not just a single bad one - we ended up throwing them all away. unfortunately, we aren't local, so this is my first and last impression, and it was not possible to return and give this feedback in person. the people who worked there were very nice, the shop was clean and it's a very cute location.

I came back later that evening and tried the original glazed donut and original glaze mochi. Both tasted very unique and simply delicious. The staff was generally friendly, and they engaged some of the customers in brief conversation. The interior was decorated as uniquely as some of their donuts. It looked like a fun place to simply hang out and enjoy a couple of donuts. Overall, they have a very creative and eclectic variety of donuts. I would definitely consider returning the next time I'm in Asheville. Cheers

The Good * Flavors = Culinary masterpieces * One of a kind location, both in and UNDER the downtown area * Service was bar none, the guy behind the counter treated me like a long lost best friend * Donuts are hefty * They open at 9 on Saturday, so you don't have to be up at the crack of freaking dawn just to beat the crowd * There is always a place to park downtown * The shop is filled with all kinds of cool signage and knick knacks * Merch available *The list goes on.. There is no bad here. I'd say prepare yourself for LIFE CHANGING donuts, but you can't possibly prepare for what StayGlazed has to offer..

The doughnuts are double the size of most doughnuts and doubly good. The pretzels are huge, butter basted, warm and delicious. It's not inexpensive but the tastes will cure you of any sticker shock. I spent $40+ for 1/2 dozen regular-1/2 dozen chocolate dipped doughnuts and 6 pretzels with dipping sauces and didn't regret a penny of what I spent. Came back on my way out of town and got a pretzel dog and pretzel for breakfast as well as some doughnuts for later. The food trailer in some of the pictures has been replaced by a building on the edge of Troyer's parking lot. You order at the window and most times there's going to be a line. It's a takeout business so you are on your own if you want to eat right away. The folks are friendly and efficient and orders are filled quickly once you get to the window. If you want to get a preview just search Auntie Ruth's on YouTube and enjoy. It's how I learned that there are a bunch of them in East Tennessee. I just know that if I didn't have enough incentive already to visit my niece then Auntie Ruth's finishes the job.

It seems that they glaze all of them and then they top it with which ever one you decide. I got the espresso one but ended up wiping off most of the frosting because it's just too sweet. But it was very good. I also got the pretzel which is also ginormous. Next time I'll ask for it without salt because even wiping off all the salt it was still very salty but it was very very good and soft. If you don't have time and your rush then don't bother coming here because it was probably about a half an hour wait in line.
