I greatly underestimated how popular these doughnuts are lol. Out of the three times I wanted to order their doughnuts, I was only able to successfully get them once. Granted, on the two Saturdays I wanted to go to Doughlab, they sold out before noon and I'm not much of a morning person. Luckily, on the Sunday I went, they still had plenty in stock before noon. I'm glad they're pretty active on their Instagram (@doughlab_loudon) so I was able to check their Instagram story if they were sold out for the day or not. Their Instagram is also a good place to see what that week's rotation of flavors are. Doughnuts Ordered: * worth trying - [Everything Bagel Doughnut w/ Chives]: I was most excited to try this because I've never heard of a savory doughnut before but I was little disappointed. I thought the everything bagel seasoning on the outside was too salty and there was too much whipped cream cheese filling for my preference. Still, a very unique doughnut. - [Pumpkin Pie (Filled)*]: Conversely, I wish there was more pumpkin creme filling in this doughnut; I loved the whipped consistency. - [Cinnamon Brioche Twist Doughnut*]: This was so good! They reminded me of kkwabaegi. Would I go back? : I would but, sadly, yesterday, Dec 28th, was Doughlab's last day of operations due to the owner moving away. I'm glad I was able to try them before they closed. For anyone missing similar filled, malasada-type doughnuts, @foodooboos recently made an Instagram reel about where to find filled doughnuts in the DMV. read more

Doughlab - (Top to Bottom): Cinnamon Brioche Twist Doughnut, Everything Bagel Doughnut w/ Chives, Pumpkin Pie (Filled) - Donuts Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Loved the doughnuts here! The everything bagel donut filled with chive cream cheese was surprisingly one of my favorites ~ literally an everything bagel but better because the doughnut is soft and fluffy. I love that they have unique rotating flavors. The doughnuts weren't too sweet and had a good amount of filling! read more

My new favorite donut spot! I've tried the coffee, Oreo, chocolate, ube, and classic glazed flavors and all of them were absolutely delicious! It seems like they bring out new flavors every couple of weeks or so. These aren't your average donuts, they taste just kkwabaegi (fried twisted Korean donut) with a twist of additional flavors! I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

I would come back for the everything bagel doughnut with chive cream cheese and vanilla bean filled doughnut. Doughnuts are small and under-filled and sold at a premium for about $4/donut. I enjoyed it. They are in their soft opening phase and only open on certain days, like Thursday/ Friday-Sunday. I went about a week ago and they were only open Saturday-Sunday from 8AM -1PM. Check their website before going! Prior to going, I tried to place an online order, but it wasn't accepting for that week. Heads up: preorders have a $21 minimum. I emailed the contact listed on the website. Management replied in a few hours and let me know that even though they closed preorders for that specific weekend, they are usually fully stocked if I come early enough. If you're unfamiliar with the strip mall, the strip is an open loop and DoughLab is in the center (like an island). I arrived around 8:30 AM with my friend. She picked up a dozen and I a half dozen. They are priced individually; her dozen doughnuts came out to about $53. Steeeeep but pretty standard for speciality doughnuts. Let's get into the doughnuts. Everything bagel doughnut with chive cream cheese- I love the idea of a savory doughnut (especially because I'm obsessed with GAR Ozzie rolls). These aren't as light or buttery as their rolls, but they're still good. I would love for this doughnut to be bigger and have more filling. The cream cheese is more like a topping and filled a shallow amount. This is true for all the filled doughnuts I tried. Vanilla bean filled doughnut- I loved the vanilla-y ness of the cream. It wasn't too sweet. Again I wish it was filled more. Chocolate crème filled doughnut- also good. The creme could be more chocolate-y. I could see my chocolate loving friends be disappointed by this. Cinnamon sugar wasn't worth trying. It's exactly what you'd expect. Matcha latte creme filled doughnut- weird. It didn't taste like matcha. It tasted kinda floral? read more

FINALLY got to try these famous doughnuts and it did not disappoint! Came here after my daughter's soccer game so I was expecting a long line. They're usually busy but luckily for us, there was only one person ahead of us. We got lucky for sure. Here's what's we got: - Everything bagel with chives - Vanilla bean - Ube - Easter egg nest - Berry Jam Every single doughnut was delicious. Full of flavor and not an overwhelming taste of processed sugar. They're light and fluffy. I can't wait to come back and try more of their tasty doughnuts! read more

Came here to try a new doughnut place I saw on an instagram reel haha. Service is very nice, answered any questions that customers had which is always a plus. I think there is some room for improvement to be made in regards to the doughnuts. I paid over $16 for 4 doughnuts, and the filled ones left a lot to be desired. If the ratio of filling to bread is improved, I think the quality would be increased by a lot. Otherwise, I do like the fact that there were unique flavors that also get switched out depending on the week! read more

Big fluffy doughnuts filled with all sorts of goodness??! A pleasant doughnut spot brought back for us malasada lovers! They were formerly known as B Doughnuts in Leesburg. One bite is just heavenly...so one doughnut isn't enough. I bought 2 chocolate filled, 1 vanilla bean filled and a red velvet. I was hoping they would have ube, but maybe later once they've been around longer. The doughnut itself is kind of heavy only because It is fried dough... but texture-wise it's very light and airy.. slightly dry. Some doughnuts have a little more filling than the others. The filling is mildly sweet, not too overpowering. The price range is $3.95-4.75. I would definitely suggest getting there in the morning before they open (8-8:15) or just wait in line. This way you're guaranteed to get one of their signature / popular flavors. This is the dougnut shop stays open until 1pm or sold out. That kind of goes to say a lot about it... They're really good! The shop location is not very big and can get crowded... Like it did for the soft opening. It is surrounded by other restaurants but there is timed parallel parking as well as regular parking nearby. Would I return? Umm yea! Esp when Jessa L. is in town! read more

I stopped by doughlab recently to try their doughnuts. I must admit the dough was fantastic but I expected there to be more cream in my doughnut. The cream was also a lighter consistency than whipped cream. I thought it would be denser and creamier. read more

We drove out first thing on a Sunday morning in early June so we had our pick of doughnuts. The storefront is really cute. I ordered and got the doughnuts quickly as I was the only customer in the store. My husband and I were excited to try them because we love filled doughnuts. Here's where I think they can improve: 1. The glaze on the doughnuts was too wet and got all over the other doughnuts, the box, our fingers, you get the point. This wasn't a hot day mind you, there was not reason for the glaze to run like so. 2. The cinnamon doughnut had barely any cinnamon and sugar on it. I had high hopes but it was just bland. 3. And this was my biggest disappointment-I absolutely love everything bagels that are well executed. This one had promise BUT it was the saltiest doughnut I've ever eaten in my entire life. My first bite was fine though every bite that followed with like a mouthful of ocean water. If you zoom in on my picture below you'll see what I'm taking about. Huge salt flakes. If not for that, this would have been a 4 star review. read more

This shop is dangerously close to my home, and I can't say enough good things! The Everything Bagel donuts are OUTRAGEOUSLY delicious! They sell out much quicker than the other flavors, so get there early if that's what you're wanting! The cream filled ones are the best fresh. The donuts are still warm and the cream is cold. UH! Literally the best donut eating experience. It's a very "treat yo'self" experience, and who doesn't love supporting a local business!? Doughlab, you're phenomenal, worth the wait, and I can't wait for many more donuts! read more

Really friendly small shop in a larger sterling strip mall with ample parking out front. Greeted warmly when we walked in close to closing time on Sunday. Even though they were sold out on everything else, they still had a few of the everything but the bagel donut which was a mix of savory and sweet. Thankfully they had baked a few extra this morning so we could try it. Verdict... delicious!!! It's a mix of cream cheese and scallions and all the spices which work so well together in donut form. We can't wait to go back to try some of the other flavors. read more

Offerings were good. A bit pricy but quality is there. Not a place to go all the time but good enough to visit once in a while. Check their hours as well as they don't open the whole week. read more

The former B Doughnuts popup has been replaced by a brick and mortar Doughlab. 10 minutes from my house. The doughnuts are all fabulous. Been there a few times and highly recommend the Vanilla Bean and Matcha Chai. But IMHO, the piece de resistance is the everything bagel donut. Stay with me on this one. A savory doughnut filled with cream cheese and topped with everything bagel seasoning and chives. I could eat a dozen by myself. They're open 8 AM until 1 PM -- or until sold out -- Thursday through Sunday. I got there today at 7:45. I was the second in line and by the time they opened, there were about 30 people in line. No ambiance to speak of. But that doesn't really matter. The proof is in the product. read more

The dough itself was good and fluffy, but for the price, it was a little underwhelming. They were under filled and barely had any filling in it. read more

This was formerly B doughnuts and I couldn't wait for Doughlab to open. We got 2 vanilla and 2 chocolate both flavors were delicious, we even got some for our neighbors. read more

Fresh and well made, but is a lot of sugar. I mean it's donuts with filling. They only make a set amount so get there early for popular flavors, or you'll be out of luck. The menu is also small. read more

The donuts are tasty but pretty small for nearly $4 each. I went during the soft opening so maybe this was a fluke. I'm willing to try it again but I'm not sure it's worth it. Employees were kind! read more

The BEST doughnuts in the DMV! They are so soft, fluffy, and filled with the perfect amount of filling or iced with just the right amount of icing. They offer a lot of variety including some savory options for those who don't prefer sweets and different flavors weekly. They even offer order ahead for us busy bees! 10/10 recommend! read more

Was hoping that this would be great place with all the 5 star reviews, but someone is lying. Everything bagel regular: barely a dollop(more of a dash) of cream cheese and the bagel was extremely salty! Everything bagel w/bacon: so the bacon is only on the " dollop" on outside. Then there's strange aftertaste. Homer: 7/11, Whole Foods, and Giant all have a better tastier renditions of this poor attempt at very simple doughnut. Pandan Crème: plain Vanilla crème dyed green, nothing special. I feel like baking bread as they're calling and not donuts and bagels. Only the lies of these other five star reviewers will keep this place open. read more

Overpriced. Mid quality, workers condescending. Odd selection of so called donuts. Failed experiment.

Great flavors, but the filled donuts are a bit under-filled (which makes the glazed ones more flavorful), and very expensive...I paid $25.36 for one of everything (5 donuts, 1 bagel), which is pretty steep. The interior layout is also VERY counter-intuitive, resulting in lines building outside while barely anyone stands inside, making a bad situation even worse during poor weather - literally over 50% of the interior standing space is unused because of their layout. To alleviate this, they should place the order station to the RIGHT of the POS machines (from the customer's POV) and move pick-up to the left side where orders are *currently* placed. People shouldn't be standing in bad weather for long stretches of time just because the interior layout makes most people in line too confused & apprehensive to stand inside. And if the layout isn't changed, employees could at the very least come outside periodically to usher people inside for interior line forming read more

These donuts are the absolute best I have ever had. The savory ones are just as delicious as the sweet ones. I drove 20 miles to check them out and it was worth it. You must try them!!!! read more

I agree with those who say the cream filled donuts need much more cream--at least twice as much. Also, the variety is quite limited. I hope it will expand in the future. read more

my favorite style of donut! this just replaced the ice cream shop that used to be in the shopping area so it's very small and there's only room to order, not sit down, but it's still pretty fast service! the quality of the product is awesome, the texture is very soft and the flavors are all really good! it is a little bit pricier (a dozen was like $50 lol), especially the speciality donuts, but it's a nice treat to try out! read more

We arrived on a Saturday morning at opening. We ordered the Homer, Everything Bagel w/ Chives Filling, Everything Bagel w/ Bacon filling, Pandan, and Chocolate Cream. The flavors were on point! There was a slight yeast aftertaste with the Everything Bagel doughnuts, but their filling were savory and as advertised. There observed multiple pre orders ready for pick up when we visited. Each of our family members have a favorite and look forward to visiting again soon! read more
