Best donuts, and macaroons around Lehigh Valley, good discount for students, and happy to support small business

If you are a donut shop, I will sniff you out wherever you are! Donerds was not going to be the exception! With a comfortable one mile walk from Wind Creek Casino, I treaded on the greenway taking a much needed scenic route away from the ting-ting-ting slot action of the casino. Donerds was clean, modern and cartoonish in style! It was enjoyable and artsy! A comfortable nook with a mannequin that I had mistaken for a customer until I came into the store. So many choices ! They have a cannoli donut! Wow! I really wanted the crème brûlée donut but settled for the glazed one. With first bite, there was sugar but not overwhelming sweetness! I was glad for that! The donut is yeast raised and soft, fresh, and fluffy. Prices are affordable. The glazed set me back $2.25. There are also French macarons and fancier donuts too. I felt I wanted to try one of the basics to get a feel. I didn't spy any jelly donuts though, but an interesting cherry pistachio fancy one! The one employee was very nice! I thought for sure the donut would have a wax paper to grab it but nope just bare bones donut in a bag! Still, I was very satisfied! It was worth the trek! read more

I found Donerd's Donuts while scrolling aimlessly and immediately added it to my "Adventures To Be Had" list. While in the area, I decided to stop in and see what all the hype was about. Fun fact: I had tried the Jim Thorpe location the day before and nearly cried into my coffee--only 4 lonely donuts left in the entire shop. Thankfully, the Bethlehem location came through in a big way! Donerd's is a classic donut-and-coffee shop--nothing else. Limited inside seating, quick service, and designed to get you your sugary fix and on your way. If you want to sit for a minute, there are public benches nearby, perfect for devouring your treats in the sunshine. They rotate their menu weekly, with "first/third/fifth week" flavors and "second/fourth week" flavors, plus a donut of the week. Luckily, my targets--the bacon maple and Nutella maple pecan--are weekly favorites. Walking in and seeing a case full of donuts waiting for me was pure joy. The bacon maple donut: fluffy, perfectly soft donut, smooth maple frosting, and a generous sprinkle of crumbled bacon perched on top. A classic done right. The Nutella maple pecan donut: oh my goodness. This thing was an ALL-STAR. Heavy, decadent, and packed full of Nutella filling in every single bite--no gaping, empty donut holes here. Topped with maple frosting and chopped pecans, each bite was heavenly. I may or may not have eaten the whole thing in one sitting while consoling myself with the box's encouragement: "You deserve a donut." Total damage: $8. Worth. Every. Penny. Slightly more than a big chain (you know the one that starts with Dun and ends with kin), but the freshness and quality make it 100% worth it. No on-site parking, but plenty of free street parking on Sundays. Staff were polite and efficient--pointed in service, but that's fine; I didn't come to chat, I came to eat donuts. If you're in Bethlehem and craving donuts that make your taste buds do backflips, Donerd's is your stop. Just get there early if you have your eye on a specific flavor...some of the others were already sold out by 1:30pm on Sunday. read more

I've had donerds before and loved them. Came an hour before they closed at this location and everything was shut down for the night. Wish that was stated online before we made the trip over. read more

Small and cute little donut shop in South Side Bethlehem. Had some seating to enjoy your sweet treat. They had a decent amount of options we came around 2pm on a Sunday. We ordered 2 glaze, a cannoli inspired donut, maple bacon donut, and an apple fritter. Came to about $15. All soft and delicious. Street parking (Sunday is free parking). Service was okay. Not too much interaction, but still friendly enough for the short time we were there. read more

While visiting Bethlehem PA saw a sign that said best donuts in Lehigh Valley. Had to check them out. Server was super friendly. Quaint little shop with fresh and interesting donuts. I got 6 to bring home. French toast cinnamon was like a donut and a cinnamon roll had a baby. Next time I get 6 of these. Pumpkin crème brûlée was good but not likely to get again. Blueberry cheesecake my Wife liked it. I'm sure I'll come back and try some more. read more

The place was clean and there was a good amount of seats with outlets so can see this being a good place to come by. They had a good variety of donuts even though it was the afternoon, but the donut was just okay. It was your run of the mill cake donut and I am not sure if I would go out of my way to come back here if I wanted to have a sweet treat. There are much better donut places that I have been to. Service was quick and easy, but we were the only ones there so that might have helped the speed and efficiency. read more

Let me preface with I do not like the donuts at all. More aesthetic than anything. Very overbearingly sweet. I also don't like yeast donuts but still wanted to try regardless because of the crazy flavors The owner however is very polite and offered a free dozen to make up for it which is always great to see The shop is kept clean and cute inside. Def a good addition to the area Don't let this deter you from going. Still try and support local businesses. I just give my honest take read more

It's a nice clean place, with very friendly staff. The donuts on the other hand, are no better than Dunkin. In fact they tasted exactly like Dunkin with super sweet toppings and fake tasting cream. $7.75 for two donuts... and they both were just meh.... I don't know how this store hangs on.. read more

Yummy yummy donutsss, so fluffy and sweet made fresh abd good, place is small but tasty. Good to get a donut and go walk around jim thorp

Giving donards 4 stars mostly because the macaron I got was not good at all (crème brûlée). I didn't even eat the whole thing - never in my life have I not finished a macaron. It genuinely tasted pretty bad I can't explain it. No flavor almost tasted like plastic. The donut I got was pretty okay. I got the maple bacon - which I didn't it was $4 lol. It tasted much better than the donut. But still not worth $4 at all Giving 4 stars despite this because the staff was SOOOO nice. I was there at 10am on November 18th. The two girls working were amazing and we had nice conversation. Improve your recipes and prices and you've got a 5 star establishment. Again the donut was fine , the macaron was very bad. read more

Grabbed four types of donuts from Donerd's after seeing a post about them on a Facebook group I'm in. Decided to try the Homer (pink frosted with sprinkles), Bacon Maple, Take 5, and Cannoli. First impression of the business was clean and bright with fun music and the woman who helped me was friendly. The four donuts ran nearly $16 which is why this is not a 5 star review. I have no problem spending money on something that's worth it, but roughly $4 per donut is pretty steep. The homer was what it should be. This reminded me of the strawberry frosted donut from Dunkin' 15 years or so ago before Dunkin' became even further processed trash that they're trying to make maximum profit off of. That was my favorite donut from Dunkin', so this was a good start. The Bacon Maple is something I try anywhere that carries them because it's a killer combination and everywhere does them slightly differently. This was a very good donut and I do not regret the purchase at all. There is another maple bacon semi locally that I prefer, but that does not mean this wasn't excellent. The Take 5 was very good, but did not remind me of a take 5 bar. If this wasn't labeled Take 5, I would have never made that association. The cannoli was very good. The cannoli cream was just sweet enough without being too sweet and making it overkill. Adding the chocolate chips was smart and made it feel even more like a cannoli. I think the only thing that could have elevated that at all was perhaps some small pieces of cannoli shell on top. All in all I really enjoyed these but they would be a very rare treat because of the price. Regardless - Donerd's Donuts in Bethlehem, PA - Didn't Suck!

Stopped in on a Wednesday morning around 11. The donuts are delicious. I ordered a Sour Cream, Boston Creme, and a Homer. I personally prefer more of a sour cream cake donut where as these were all glazed, but it was really good. The Boston Crème was amazing. The chocolate on top was what really sent it home. The Homer was good and the pink icing tasted like cake icing. A little too sweet for me, but I did eat three donuts total so the last one is going to be sweet no matter what. I would definitely come again and bring these to a family party or breakfast for work. read more

Lets start off by saying, i never had a chance to try to donuts. Take a 20 min drive, get there to see there are only 5 donuts left!!! 2 diff styles, none of which either one of us like. Its 3 pm, you close at 5, your main thing is donuts, how do you run out!! We ask then if they make to go boxes, one employee says that the donuts are made in the am and thats it & the other one says the donuts are made in the evening. Smh Totally annoyed that we wasted our time to come here. read more

This is a cute, aesthetically pleasing donut shop. Tall chairs were hard to sit on and they were uncomfortable. I tried pistachio cream donut and chocolate hazelnut donut. Nitro Cold Brew Coffee was pretty good. read more

Donuts here are amazing definitely worth a visit they all tasted great and fresh staff is very welcoming

I feel bad that this can't be a better review, because the place is cute and it's great to see new businesses coming into Southside Bethlehem. But the donuts are just... not. good. They are all sticky and messy, covered in candy and filled with sickeningly sweet frostings, custards, and pastes. The fruit flavors don't taste like real fruit. I could only eat about half or a quarter of a donut before I started to feel a little nauseous and my teeth started to hurt. I don't go to a donut shop to feel healthy, of course, but I would love for the berries to taste like berries, the cream to taste like cream... but all of the varieties here taste artificial, like pure corn syrup and sugar. read more

The cutest place inside with friendly staff!! The donuts were simply amazing. I got a free breakfast sandwich for buying 6 donuts and that was also incredible. Excited to go back and try some more!! Thankful they are on the southside! read more

Went in with high hopes after hearing all the hype. Started with a Matcha Tea Latte' and an Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. Matcha had a good flavor, but was far from hot and the only thing 16oz was the cup - not the contents. The espresso didn't have that punchy coffee flavor and the brown sugar syrup had a funny almost synthetic flavor. Our two doughnuts: Boston Cream and Cannoli were fine, but not up to the premium price being charged. read more

Had them before, love they macarons!! Nice service aswell and a calm vibe, I had them once here for a second try let's see what they abt!

New local bakery hits the Southside! We ordered 6 to sample/share and a cup of hot coffee for me. Everything was delicious, fresh. Nothing was stale. Stand out flavors include crème brûlée, vanilla fruity pebble, cannoli, and Oreo cheesecake. But they were all tasty. Highly recommend. The only downside is the cost and the calories! It's definitely cost prohibitive to get a box of 6. Our order came out to $24.75 before tip. Staff was friendly and quick to offer suggestions! read more

The place is easy to find and the atmosphere is lovely. I was waited in quickly with my questions answered immediately. The donuts are packaged so they don't crush each other. But the best part is the flavor Anna texture of the donuts. They are simply delightful. I chose 3 of the vegan donuts which had full flavor. This is where I'll go for donuts from now on! read more

Owners are sooo amazing and very helpful loved the opportunity to try the Dubai chocolate pistachio doughnut, and it was so good we called the fancy doughnut read more

Always great and a variation, sometimes a little too sweet for my liking. I like the cannoli donut the best.

Yummy donuts! And the drinks were good too. The prices are not the cheapest, I think it's $4 per donut but it was pretty good so a treat once in awhile is nice (: read more

Great place. Amazing donuts and some nice seasonal items as well highly reccomend, service is great the staff are freindly and kind

It's ok. We got a few donuts and they pretty much all taste the same. Not worth the price tag. Great looking shop but any grocery store has the same quality donuts. Duck donuts will still be our go to. read more

Very disappointed. Wanted to bring my co-worker a surprise for assistance on a project. I got 6 different donuts in a box and then I got the chocolate peanut butter one for myself. The chocolate was amazing and so was the center bite of the peanut blob of filling that was in the center, it wasn't a filling. it was a small amount but very tasty. The donut was very dry and it reminded me of a "day old" donut and this was 10:30 in the morning. I later tried half of another one and it was the same thing, won't be going back read more

Overpriced and they all taste the same, 2 out of the 6 that i got were actually good (blueberry cheesecake and caramel apple) paid almost $25 for all 6 and the ones with filling inside tasted artificial afnot hating just being honest read more
