Once you have a Donut Connection donut you won't want DD anymore, no comparison in freshness, and the customer service is on point.

Very cute shop with well crafted donuts. The owner is friendly and the assortment is unique, with yummy honey-dipped donuts.

Update 02/09/2026: This has now become my go to spot, some good ole roasted coffee, delicious donuts and great staff. I try to just get coffee, but it never works....!!!! read more

The donuts sitting in the rack are soft and moist as if they were just made. The workers are very friendly and smile. The prices are pretty good but, the donuts are again moist and full of flavor. read more

Donut Connection - 1 honey cake & 1 cherry cake donuts - Donuts Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

I've been searching for just a good old fashioned donut shop like the ones I use to frequent when I was younger. The Donut Connection is a simple no frills donut shop that has a wide variety of donuts. I ordered a baker's dozen of glazed donut holes. They were delicious and the service was good. I will definitely return to try other treats and donuts flavors. read more

HONEY DIPPED -- Had these a few Saturdays ago and have been craving them ever since. Never thought I'd find a glazed donut that I liked better than Krispy Kreme glazed, but this is it. These donuts were soft and not too sweet. This hankering will be dealt with this week! (My fiancé's pic posted to detail the seriousness of it all, lol) __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish read more

Donut Connection - GLAZED - Donuts Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

I have been a near-daily customer of Donut Connection in Waldorf since the Summer of 2001 (nearly 25 years!). I love their coffee and their great doughnuts. My two favorites are the maple and honey chocolate. Super nice staff and great hours for the workers/commuters. Opening at 3:30 AM daily is very convenient. read more

By far, this place has the best donuts in the area. If you are craving a donut that tastes like more than just sugar, and has great texture - try this place. It's not fancy, but the donuts are great, and you'll get service with a smile. I recommend getting there early for the best selection. read more

Best donuts in Southern Maryland!!!!! This place is a gem!!!!! (Or dive some people may call it!) I love vanilla cream filled donuts and this place has the best. They are freshly made here at this location and delicious... lots of filling! The customer service is always great. Warning, they sell out out of certain flavors quickly, so get there early on the weekends. My husband loves the honey dip and the blueberry and crueler are yummy too! The outside and inside are older looking, but I prefer classic. They've been around forever and stay amazing. It's clean inside and I've never had a donut from here that I didn't love. Simply the best! read more

Best donut shop in Waldorf and LaPlata! The price is a bit higher than KK and DD however the quality is much higher $17.10 for a dozen i.e., the portion of the filling (custard, lemon, jelly) is fuller inside and the size is slightly bigger than of KK and DD. Excellent customer service and the lady at the counter is super nice - serves with a smile. The place is clean and seems popular in the area because there's always patrons inside buying donuts. My only advise is to get there early as the donut favorites (bavarian and boston cream) are always at shortage. Highly recommend this place to all fellow yelpers! read more

Best donuts around! Always fresh and delicious! Excellent service! Old patrons in the morning are always entertaining!

First time here! Ran by a sweet lady who keeps her business clean! Very sweet lady. Bought a dozen don't holes and two donuts for $7. What a steal. Went there at 2:40 pm on a Saturday and she still had a good selection of donuts to choose from. Visiting from PA and I will be coming back. Donuts are so pillowy soft and not too sugary sweet. Please stop here and buy a donut. read more

Tried this for the first time and I'm hooked, the service was amazing and the donuts, makes u keep coming back for more. I love the powder donuts with jelly filled and it's filled with every bite, not a dollop of lemon. U get your monies worth read more

Best donuts in Southern Maryland. Come thru! You won't be disappointed. Love the freshness. read more

This is the Best donut shop in the area the donut are big and fluffy and very tasty. If you get there early you can get donut holes they run out fast, all of the donuts are much better than Dunkin. They make them rite there unlike most Dunkins are brought in each morning made else where. This is a must stop at place anytime of the day you feel like a donut and some coffee. It would get a 5 star if they excepted credit cards they only take CASH. For a small coffee a donut and 3 donut holes it is $3.55 read more

Excellent product but you better get there early or your favorites will be gone. Excellent customer service.

Still awesome. Still same Korean lady who's a little bit nicer and they take credit cards now!

Best donuts in the area and the service is always friendly. Used to get donuts for my children's class when they were in grade school which is 25 years ago. Same great quality and customer service and always happy to shop local! read more

The only place my family goes to enjoy a really good, fresh donut. We have been going there for years. I'm so glad they've remained in business. Very nice people! read more

The donuts were awesome. All of them that's is! They are absolutely moist, delicious and filling.

Omg!!! The bear claws are the bomb.com I good once a month... to indulge... they will make you slap your mama

Having been from out of the area, Donat connection was recommended to me. I would fly any distance to eat their donuts. They were amazing and made all the difference. read more

I say give it a try, you will NEVER be disappointed! As what they say "do not judge the book by its cover". The front of the store is kinda old and you will never thought if their donuts are worth a try. I was curious so went there on Sunday morning to see for myself. Need to wear mask before entering the store, it wasn't crowded, only one staff inside the store assisting customers. Downside they only accept cash, no credit cards at all. Their donuts prices are reasonably cheap, a dozen is like $10 and some change. The selections are alot! Can't name them all, but they have donuts that DD and KK doesn't have (from what I know). I love their Choc Crumble, honey dip and bavarian! Their donuts are not two diabetic sweet, it's fluffy and bigger in size! Bet they always make their donuts everyday, coz you can tell. If you are craving for some donuts, give this joint a try! read more

Great fresh donuts! Friendly staff. Much better than larger franchise donut places. Get there early when they're freshly coming out of the kitchen. read more

Awesome donut place, with cheap prices! I wrote this review after finishing a maple glazed donut. Not only are these donuts better than other local competitors but the donuts go the extra mile when it comes to taste and texture. Their glazed donut is also tasty! Just enough sweetness but not overpowering. These donuts stay fresh for at least two days. Treat yourself or employees at the office you work at to a dozen of these. I'm sure Monday's will become more exciting! read more

Had an apple fritter from there this morning....AMAZING!! The customers that hang out there give me racist vibes though. Whatever! I'm going back! read more

I came pretty late in the day and there was no wide selection but it's understandable because, they were about to close. The donuts tasted very good. I have to come earlier to experience the thrill. I love the local feel to the joint. It's cash only but it doesn't bother me; that's what local is all about !!! ATM on site. Definetely a good spot after deadlift session after the gym #deadlift&donuts read more

Yummy!!! Best find ever the holes are amazing! The Apple Fritter awesome.. I'm a true donut lover.. so Me and my hips will be BACK!

Always great donuts here. I've been coming here for many years and have never been disappointed. The donuts are fresh and the friendly service is quick. They are cash only so be prepared for that. read more

Best fresh donuts ever! Only thing is depending on when you come they may barely have any left!

One of the few places left that actually makes their own donuts unlike chain DDonut stores that have them shipped in frozen. And they actually open early in the morning for those heading to work before 5AM. read more

Not sure if I went on a bad day but first they don't take CCards and I was never directed to an ATM I saw they had In another review maybe because It's new? I went on a Sunday afternoon and maybe my expectations were too high because all I saw were 6 different kinds and they looked like they had been sitting around all day. The cashier was very nice but the sight of the donuts and cash only (Why don't they post this on a sign outside) has me never ever returning here. read more

Stopped by this morning, this business really needs to catch up with times, not everyone has cash and they don't want to pay atm fee plus what the bank charges for using the atm. read more

Go there every Saturday morning. Donuts are the best and coffee is good. Bagels are good also. Ladies behind the counter are very nice. It is cash only but the ATM is right in front of the cashier - you can"t miss it - you almost trip over it and it's only $1.50 fee. Nice place. read more

I like the fact that they have various types of donuts, not just the classic ones. I especially like their apple filled donuts, perfect for their very strong cup of coffee. read more

Donuts are pretty good if you can get your hands on one haha. They sell out fairly quickly. A little on the sweeter side but still very tasty. It's a cash only place but has an ATM inside as well. I will definitely come back, hopefully at an earlier time! read more

Good donuts, decent selection of goodies, no frills kind of donut shop. Cash only but there is an ATM on premises. Opens early (3a or 3:30a depending on day of the week) and closes at 8p. read more

Even though the establishment in cash only and yes perish the thought of you having to use the ATM if you don't have any on you. For the friendly atmosphere and quality of donuts, this place is a hidden gem within the Waldorf area and blows other competitors out of the water with quality and taste. I don't get here early enought becaue the Blueberry cake donuts are amazing and only get to pick 2 or 3 at most when we arrive. They have a nice area to sit down with your family and enjoy your food and drinks. They have a ton of selection and the employees are down to earth and talk to your kids and actually want to know about you as a customer. So I urge you to ignore reviews from people like Jerry who rate on a 1* because they don't agree with the business not wanting to accept credit card transactions. In the end this business has been around since I was a kid and will be around when my kids have kids. read more

Love this place! Great doughnuts and good service! Beats the big name doughnut shops like Dunkin and especially Krispy Kreme! That place really was God awful last time! Krispy Kreme that is. Doughnut connection has ALWAYS been fantastic!! read more

I've always received great service and they offer a decent selection. They do have some weird hours and are NOT open 24/7.
