Justin was amazing--friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made the visit feel special. Honestly, it felt like a near-religious experience.

We stopped by The Donut Friar while on vacation in Gatlinburg and grabbed a few donuts, partly…read morebecause it's a local favorite and partly because... donuts. I tried the blueberry cruller and the apple-filled cinnamon sugar donut. Both were good, solid, fresh, enjoyable, but nothing that completely blew me away. I did ask for an apple fritter, since it's the obvious undisputed pinnacle of pure donut perfection, but apparently the Friar doesn't make fritters. While I respect a shop that knows its lane, that alone means I can't give it five stars. It's easy to see why The Donut Friar is popular with tourists. The shop is charming, the donuts are well-made, and it's a fun stop while walking through town. At the end of the day, though, the donuts are good... because let's face it, they're donuts. A worthwhile stop if you're nearby, just don't expect your life to change.

But this time I had a cold coffee that was absolutely wonderful just strong enough no sugar added. I was in heaven. Plus we got to try a different group of donuts this time I have pictures for you, you've got to give it a try. The service is absolutely wonderful. The people there are so kind and really glad to see people visiting their shop. They usually trow in a little something new to try, or one of your old favorites. The ambience is simple but sweet pick up and go or sit down and enjoy. You've got to give this place a try when you're in the mood for a yummy treat. That's just delicious!!

We enjoyed our warm perfect donuts while sitting inside watching other orders being made. They do offer coffee and other beverages. We just helped ourselves to the water station.

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!

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.
