Tried this place for the first time. Donuts were fresh and say. Great flavor.... Not greasy. Service was quick through the drive thru. Will definitely be back for the cinnamon roll donuts. Everything was delicious!

*Post-COVID review* I love donuts and felt like trying a new spot; went with this place based on the great reviews. Picked up a selection: 2 bavarian cream filled logs with chocolate icing, a yeast donut with chocolate icing, blueberry cake, chocolate cake, apple fritter and cinnamon roll. I was really impressed with the consistency of the donuts, especially the cake donuts, which were very fluffy. The chocolate cake was my favorite; unlike a lot of other places that have dense cake donuts, this one was like biting into an actual slice of soft, moist cake that happened to be in the shape of a donut and covered with icing. It wasn't too sweet either. The cinnamon roll was my second favorite; I warmed it in the microwave the next day and it was super delicious. Took off one star as a couple of the donuts had an odd aftertaste, like maybe the oil needed to be changed? Considering all the raves from other people, I'm going to assume this was a fluke. The lady who helped me was nice. They put up a plastic divider for pandemic precautions. It's located just off of Gallatin's downtown square.

Local donut shop that is really good. Family run. I have come here several times over the years but never checked in or reviewed before now. right in front of you, they make tasty cake and yeast donuts and have a wide selection of others: cinnamon roll, apple fritter, bear paw, long john, twists, etc. Not to dis the donuts but they also make breakfast sandwiches. I like them for a more filling breakfast.

Went on Sunday morning to pick up some donuts. I googled places before, and Donut Palace pulled up as the #1 in the area. I was very impressed by the owners and how much they cared. He also gave my 4 year old an extra cinnamon roll! We will be going back for sure, thank you Donut Palace for a great experience for my first time!

Decent donuts but nothing special. The place could have been a little bit cleaner as well. Definitely not what I was expecting.

Delicious Sprinkle donuts from Donut Palace

By far the best donuts and croissants. Very reasonably priced menu with a wide selection. In addition to donuts they have very large croissants and really good breakfast burritos. Be careful. The hot sauce is indeed very spicy.

Let's make this review simple here. Donuts, good. Chocolate milk, good. Coffee, good. The donuts in question; glazed, chocolate, chocolate long john, and apple fritter. The coffee was the iced caramel and my perfect angel aka my girlfriend said it was phenomenal. We pulled into the drive through, immediately greeted with a smile and got our order instantly. I come from a town in Kentucky that is known for having some of if not the greatest doughnuts in history and these are right up there with them! I would also like to add that the pricing is great in this economy as well. read more

Set out for Best Donuts to top off my beautiful Saturday morning of diving into a new book beneath my heated blanket and when I arrived...CLOSED! Before I had a panic attack, I quickly googled other donut shops in the area and Donut Palace came to my rescue!! Right down the street, Donut Palace doesn't look like much but don't be fooled...their display was full of the classic donut flavors we all crave. I ordered half a dozen and they kindly threw in some donut holes for free:) The donuts were just what I wanted--fresh and delicious! Will be my go-to donut joint now. read more

This place is the hidden gem of Gallatin. There donuts always taste fresh even at closing time. The cake donuts are slightly crispy and the original glazed donuts melt in your mouth. They always give us a few donut holes just to be nice! We go there about once a week for desert! I went to a donut shop in Murfreesboro today that based on their yelp reviews were suppose to be awesome. They don't hold a candle to the donut palace. I don't know why more people don't know about this place!!! Totally worth it! read more

We usually make the short drive to Dunkin Donuts, but today we decided to stop at an old school donut shop. So glad we did! I've heard how tasty Donut Palace is, but never did eat there until today. We split an apple fritter and each sampled a blueberry donut. They threw in two donut holes for free. The best donut holes I've ever tried and a pretty darn good apple fritter! The blueberry donut was awesome as well! $3.06 for all of it. We didn't stay to eat, but the restaurant looked clean. Friendly staff as well. Give this place a try. read more

For my first time visiting I was pretty disappointed. Will not return. Would rather go to dunkin. I was under the impression that they had a large selection of donuts only to see the basics. The donuts themselves were good is why they are getting 2 stars and not 1. For anyone who uses a sumner county smart card (scsc), be prepared to be told that they no longer accept them there. I'm sure there has to be something wrong with that. You shouldn't be able to get on a county wide discount group like that to bring in customers only to tell them they are no longer accepted. Well I already paid my yearly fee to get a 10% discount there. Wonder where I can get my $1.30 back from. read more

She treats you like an idiot, she rolls her eyes when you ask about the donuts, she scoffs at your order, she snarks at you when you say good morning, and today she closed her shop on me and two other customers while we were walking in. She saw us pulling in, turned off the "open" sign, and locked the front doors. After pulling at the door and realizing it was locked, I looked in the door window and saw her at the register with rows of donuts behind her. She waved her hands at me from the front desk, told me to leave and then taped a "sold out" sign on the door in front of me. I was speechless.
