My first donut shop visit here at Maury County. I can't believe I spent $34 bucks! That box of donuts I carried out was plenty heavy, wasn't sure if it was going to be sugar or oil heavy. Wow, extra extra sweet, really too sugary for me, the glazed donut was the first bite, was warm and sweet, too sweet, ate half because I knew by looking at the rest of the box was going to be a challenge, cut half of the chocolate bar with cream, no cake icing filling and same deal, at least I got a bit of a chocolate taste, advice, use cream filling for filled bars. Next was the apple fritter, cut it in half, seen apple bits but still biting into sugar, this didn't taste no where near an apple fritter, I didn't bother tasting anymore. I can say customer service was excellent, even the baker went out of his way to greet me. Sure hope I can find a donut shop that won't cost me an arm and leg, I've reviewed close to 60 donut shops my last 10 years, I won't forget Donut Palace. read more

I just moved to Spring Hill and wanted to try this local donut place. DO NOT GO HERE!!!. The reviews that talk about the donuts tasting like the way a nail salon smells are 1000% TRUE. I felt like my cheeks were actively getting filled with nail polish air. Not to mention 6 donuts were $30 and I ended up only eating the equivalent of one donut and threw the rest out. I tried to be optimistic and tried every donut I bought and they all had that very weird taste. do not go here and waste your money or risk getting sick. The actual building was not very clean or lively in my opinion either. read more

Went with family visiting to support "local mom and pop shop". As my roommate suggested it was one of his favorites as our first time there very disappointed Way overpriced for mediocre doughnuts The cream filled donuts were horrible tasted like chemicals from a nail salon Did I mention how grossly overpriced these donuts were $6 for a cinnimon rolll or apple fritter And almost $2.50- 3 per other donuts We got half dozen thinking that is better but our bill was over $24 ) (cinnamon roll plus the six dozen (18.75 - 3.125 each after tax ) got two regular glazed a maple twist chocolate filled a chocolate twist and a regular chocolate) What's worse is we don't even eat the last filled one and was a complete waste of money for overpriced donuts that were not all that great read more

Been a minute since the post, want to make sure to stay dynamic. Most people love donuts and they are easy to make taste good. This place found a way to mess it up and over charge for the experience. read more

I got a few donuts to surprise my girlfriend. After two bites she said, "this doesn't taste like a...normal donut." Within an hour she was throwing up. I hate giving out a review like this, but this place just doesn't sit well with me. The woman who helped me was nice, but that's the only positive note I have of my experience. The inside just seemed a bit dirty, none of the donuts in the case had labels to indicate what type of donuts were there, half of the lights were out.... I would not recommend going here if you need a donut in the Spring Hill area. read more

If I could give it a zero review I would. Very expensive !!! $5 for a Apple fritter come on!!

Absolutely disgusting. Shop was filthy, don't know how they have not been shut down by health department. Way over priced and the donuts were nasty. Spent $25.00 took one bite and stopped at next garbage can and threw them away. It was that bad. Place smelled like raccoon grease. I now have to go home and change my clothes because I smell just from stepping in for two minutes read more

Disappointed--Overpriced & Stale Donuts Stopped by early Sunday morning (7:15 AM) expecting fresh donuts, but what I got was overpriced and stale. Paid $20 for six basic donuts (glazed, chocolate-covered, etc.)--nothing fancy, just standard donuts you'd find at any shop. When I asked about the high price, the owner blamed rent costs instead of explaining the value. On top of that, the donuts tasted old and stale, like they had been sitting out for at least a day or two. I understand costs are rising, but at this price point, I'd expect fresh donuts--not leftovers. Definitely not worth it. read more

Horrible taste. It tastes like a nail salon smells. Worst donuts ever. Stay away. The custard made me sick does not taste like donuts.

Texture - 2/5 Stars The donuts had an inconsistent texture. The outside was overcooked and slightly tough, but the inside was soft and fluffy, which was redeeming. Taste - 3/5 Stars The flavor was average. The donuts tasted like standard fare--nothing terrible, but nothing that stood out either. Pricing - 1/5 Stars I purchased 8 donut holes, 1 glazed twist, 1 maple twist, and 2 chocolate milks, and the total came to $25. That breaks down to roughly $5 per item, which is far too steep for a donut shop. For that price, I expected gourmet flavors or premium ingredients, but the donuts were very basic. read more

I stopped by to pick up two dozen donuts for a client. When the clerk rang me up she announced my total was $70!!! Never in my life have I paid such prices for donuts. I kindly asked her to void my order for one of boxes but still ended up paying $35 for one dozen donuts. I understand that we are struggling to make ends meet during this inflation period. However $35 for a dozen donut is outrageous. Additionally, the shop was overly cluttered with ingredients and random boxes with in view from the counter. It didn't feel the cleanest. read more

$60 for 16 donuts? They are good but not that good lol. If you're grabbing just 1 or 2 donuts go for it. But bigger amounts are crazy!

$20 for 2 glazed, 2 sprinkled & 2 chocolate is a bit insane. The reason I gave 2 stars is because the glazed and sprinkled donuts are very very good. Now with the chocolate glaze..... I have NO IDEA what that is but it tastes like a blend of dollar tree chocolate syrup & chlorine. The website needs updating: pricing from $ to $$$ read more

5 stars for flavor, but buyer beware! You will be charged extra for every topping. When I left with my $45 worth of 12 donuts and 2 fritters, I was sure I was in NYC. Flavor is awesome, and some of the donuts are oversized, but $45 (with tip)? It's a bit of a racket for regular donuts. I asked about the price and the lady in the shop said: extra for peanuts, sprinkles, chocolate... This looks like it used to be a cleaners. If you want to pay for expensive tasty donuts, go to Five Daughters. If you want standard price great donuts, go to Daylight Donuts in Spring Hill instead. read more

I'm so mad I didn't read the reviews like I normally do. I decided to give it a try bc most donut palace I've been to have been great. Not the case here! I got 1 coconut donut & 6 donut holes & it was $9 plus 50 cent for using my card. My mouth spoke WTH before I could think & she points to the board. No wonder why she sitting in there with enough donuts & dough bags to last til the end of the year. And to top it off Walmart donuts taste better. I ended up throwing them out. Y'all better keep on driving bc this ain't it!!! read more

HEAVEN IN YOUR MOUTH!! People are literally crazy for leaving bad reviews. Such high quality donuts and each one just melts in your mouth. The service was great the owner is such a sweet lady that greets you with a smile. Everything was clean and well put together. We absolutely LOVED their donuts and will continue to come back for more! Highly recommend the cinnamon rolls, glazed donuts, twisted cinnamon and glazed. The jelly filled too! read more

The donuts tasted like nail polish remover and they were all stacked together on sheet trays hard to tell what they had

My wife has talked about this place for awhile and raved about how good it was back in the day. Sadly that is not the case now, the prices are ridiculous, for 6 doughnuts 3 glazed and 3 chocolate glazed, and two chocolate milks it was over $27 dollars. That was one issue, the other came when we tried to eat the chocolate glazed. The first bite I thought something was off but I had never had them before so I took one more bite. After that I quit, my wife took a bite and then spit it out. I looked at her and said doesn't it taste and we finished each other's sentence "like a nail salon smells like". We threw them away unfortunately those two bites gave me diarrhea for most of the day. I'll never eat here again and won't recommend it to anyone unless they want to cleanse their gut. Even then there are less expensive ways to do that. Eat here at your own risk! read more

Donuts have an oily taste and are way overpriced. The interior of the shop feels like a dirty flea market. Hoping one day we'll have a good donut shop in Spring Hill. read more

OHHH MMMM GEEEE! This was the worst experience I've ever had buying donuts. First of all... the minute I stepped in the door it was CLEAR I was an inconvenience to the owner lady. She literally rolled her eyes at me when I asked her how her pricing works. (The menu board.... Well, let's just say you'd better be a professional decipherist to have ANY luck understanding her pricing let alone the mentality behind it!) Knowing I had a moving crew showing up and I better get donuts I just took a risk and had her put together a box of 16 donuts. (She stink-eyed me several times when I was trying to determine which donuts to get!). I finally asked her- am I annoying you? And she just rolled her eyes. Well if that's not bad enough.... She does this funky math and then charges me $58 for 16 donuts. 4 of them were small sprinkle donuts. Seriously??? That's $3.68 a piece!!! I questioned her on it and she just grunted and threw her hand up pointing to her "pricing board!" I went ahead and paid it but was literally both ticked and sick to my stomach. As I walked away I said.... NEVER AGAIN! And I meant it! Did they taste good? Fair at best. There is something funky about her chocolate frosting. Nasty aftertaste. Don't do it people. Consider yourselves WARNED! And by the way... this is a ZERO STAR review (which really needs to be a thing!) read more

Donut Palace - 16 donuts - Donuts Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

This was such a disappointing experience. We drove from 30 minutes away trying to find a good old fashioned. To start, a dozen donuts was over $55. The donuts had a strong chemical taste and the oil is rancid. My husband and I literally spat out our bites. Please save your money and go elsewhere. Learn from our expensive mistake. Update to add that after starting to drive home we turned around to return the donuts and give them the opportunity to return our $. The woman was incredibly rude and said that we were just needing the money. read more

Yummy donuts! Cruller, old fashioned and fritter! All were perfectly created and the icing had a good consistency, it was not too soft and it didn't flake off when you took a bite. Great donuts! I will be back again! Fun fact: they sell Asian vegetable seeds! Always looking for different kinds of seeds for my garden. This is what provided that 5th star! read more

We will not be going back here. I think they have definitely gone downhill. We went yesterday morning for the first time in quite a while. The woman at the counter was unfriendly (as usual) which is fine but I noticed their prices have really gone up. They don't include any extras like donut holes. It was $15 for 6 basic donuts. I bought a dozen donuts at Krispy Kreme the other week that was $17 so $15 seems really steep. Really my gripe is with the quality of the donuts. I took a bite of my daughter's donut and I could taste a weird taste that could only be old cooking oil. It tasted like they had cooked the donut in the same cooking oil they made egg rolls in. It had a savory flavor in it. It also tasted old. Both my husband and I did not feel well the majority of the day and I think it's because the oil they use is not fresh and the donuts are not fresh either. You can tell the donuts have been sitting in the case for days and days. We will absolutely never ever be returning here. read more

This visit was it, for me. One and done. Take time to read some other low-rating reviews. I wish I had because they're not being overly harsh. There seem to be some long-running issues here. Better once upon a time? Maybe. Kitchen troubles? Bad day? Maybe those, too. I was looking forward to the visit, but this franchise location seems as desperately uncertain about quality of its goods as the chaos of its display case. Indoor signage says the shop also offers snacks with an Asian focus. Those flavors seem to have found a way into my doughnut order...even with the overpowering aroma of maple filling the shop front. The display case was full of a wide variety of treats, but most appeared to have been randomly dumped or tossed to fill any available space. Unfortunate, but it's a visual hint of how the business might be run and that things may not go well with your order. The highlight of my visit was the apple fritter. It was large, still warm, full of flavor...yet over-soaked in cooking oil. My sausage crescent roll was tasty, but either overdone or not fresh (take your pick.) Most disappointing was the old-fashioned cake doughnut. The cake texture and crunch was fine. It was the flavor that landed it in the trash can. It actually tasted as if it were cooked with egg rolls. That usually means someone used the same fryer and oil for a savory something other than doughnuts. Donuts and pastries are either good or bad. There's seldom a middle ground. Given the breadth of outcomes experienced here in just three items, I suspect everyone else's experience will vary as widely day-to-day. read more

A friend bought a box of selected donuts to bring to my house. She decided to have one herself and selected a chocolate frosting one. She could only taste nail polish and was apologetic about the donuts. They smelled wonderful to me. I ate half of an untrusted old fashioned and said I didn't taste anything like nail polish. After she left I thought I should at least take a bite of a chocolate frosted donut. OMG!! Nail polish was in the taste!!! We used to enjoy the donuts from this shop, but my friend's experience as well aside has made me determined to never darken the doorstep again!!! read more

Donuts are just ok, nothing special and not worth the price. Lady working was rude and short as well. Also reminded me of a thrust store due to the random electronics that seem to be priced as knock offs or "fell off a truck" read more

Unfortunately I have to update my review! This is SAD!! This use to be a Saturday morning treat for us but the last time my husband went with our boys he said the place is a reck inside and he paid $55 for a dozen donuts and a bear claw! Not only is that SO UNREASONABLE BUT THEY WERE TERRIBLE! We will NOT BE BACK and that is unfortunate! We love supporting local but this is OUTRAGEOUSLY PRICED FOR BAD DONUTS!! read more

Donuts were good and aplenty on a Sunday afternoon. Went to Daylight Donuts first but they ran out for the day, so ended up at Donut Palace. There were seriously a lot of donuts. They were on average $3.50-$4.00 each. Extremely expensive. I've come from LA where family owned donut shops were in every corner, so I'm always in search of these small shops in TN. I've been never a fan of dunkin. Glazing was a bit much but didn't mind it too much. I've paid a lot for desserts before but never this much for donuts. I have to say that at this price, you would expect gourmet donuts. HOWEVER - I would actually very much prefer this over those gourmet ones nonetheless. Something about the Asian donuts just tastes much better :) read more

This place gets a 1star because of how much they charge for donuts. Won't be back again if you want to pay for expensive donuts go to 5 daughters but even they charge less for most of their stuff read more

Back home and checking out The Donut Palace in Spring Hill, TN Arriving, we needed to wait in line, which is often a sign of good donuts. In fact, customers where buying donuts by the dozen! I noticed one lonely apple fritter, so I nabbed that only to learn that it was also a pecan apple fritter. The counter person was very eager for me to try the fritter - and she was right. An excellent choice with crispy edges and moist inside. Best warmed, but isn't that always the case? I also got a glazed twist, two chocolate iced old fashioned, cinnamon sugar old fashioned (yum), and then she threw in two glazed raised donuts. They were all wonderful, but the glazed raised were freshly baked, warm, mouth-watering, and amazing! Donut Palace, Spring Hill, has a very high @Yelp rating, and for good reason. I highly recommend going if/when in the area. . Let them know that Lonny (@donutduster) with @donutexplorers sent you! read more

This used to be my goto place for donuts in Spring Hill. But this last trip was my last. 1) on the go and bought some donuts and a 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk. Asked for some cups and was told they had no cups. I would have paid for any of the 60 cups stacked by the coffee machine or from the 250 pack underneath. 2). Gnats in the display case 3) worst of all... bit into my custard filled donut. It literally tasted like the nail salon next door. 3 other people tasted acetone in the donuts. read more

Just no! First off a dozen donuts was $58. Secondly, the donuts tasted strongly of chemicals. Don't do it! Go someplace else

The little lady running this place is crazy, charged me $32 for 6 donuts, and I later realized she had forgotten to give me one. What the hell? They are good, especially the fritters, but she is smoking something to think she can charge that much and stay open long-term. Will only seldom visit moving forward for a ($6?) apple fritter on occasion. read more

$90 for three dozen donuts? Were they made a gold? No they actually were not that great, I won't be visiting this place again I feel like I was ripped off even though I needed to get the donuts to take to a group of people I felt the surcharge was overrated in the donuts were underrated. Too many other options go to Dunkin' Donuts and get two dozen for 20. read more
