It is best to go early if you can for the best chance of getting everything you want. I purchased two apple fritters and a glazed donut for a little over $8.

The apple fritter had a nice distribution of apples, not just a bit here and there. This is a no frills donut shop, but don't let the look from the outside deter you!

We got a plain glazed (delicious base, so fluffy and glaze that was perfectly applied), a pumpkin spice (not a hit you over the head spice-delicious!) and a pumpkin cream filled-omg this one. It was still a little warm! The donuts themselves were extremely light: as my husband said, pushed to the limits without collapsing. Worth the stop, get here early! Huge line by the time we left!

We stopped here before visiting the Biltmore, and while parking was a bit of a challenge, it was absolutely worth it. We ended up parking on the street up the hill near some residential homes, but don't let that deter you. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the doughnuts being made right in front of us. There was a line when we arrived, and we waited about 15 minutes to order and another 10 minutes or so for our doughnuts. Even with the wait, I'd do it all over again. The doughnuts were incredibly fresh, warm, light, and fluffy. Every flavor we tried was delicious, but the vanilla glazed and the toasted almond sesame cinnamon were my favorite. If you're in Asheville, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

We enjoyed our warm perfect donuts while sitting inside watching other orders being made. They do offer coffee and other beverages. We just helped ourselves to the water station.

BEST DONUTS IN THE CAROLINAS!!!…read more If that is the only thing you take away from this review - let it be that these donuts are the BEST in NC and SC. Every single donut, fritter, donut hole, long john - you cannot go wrong. My favorite is the chocolate Long John with white buttercream. The owner is precious and so unbelievably friendly! She even threw in a few fee donut holes with our order. The building itself is very cozy and reminds me of a local spot that you can count on for consistent quality and service. So!!! Now for the long story. My brother used to live up in Burlington, NC and would bring donuts from a place called "NC JELLY DONUTS" every time he came to visit. Long story short - we became obsessed. He would bring a dozen donuts and they would be gone before the end of the weekend. Well... the time came for him to move away from Burlington and we all cried because we do not know the next time we would have "NC JELLY DONUTS". Each week we would get in the phone planning our next trip to Burlington - patiently waiting to get our donut fix. We didn't want to branch out because we thought we had found the best. Flash forward to 4/2/2026 - my brother is visiting the CLT area. For the past 6 months have been researching donut shops in the GREATER Charlotte area since we aren't able to get up to Burlington this time. All of my sources have told me - try Momo Donuts - they are incredible. So, that is exactly what we do. From the moment we walked in the door at Momo Donut, we felt at home. Like a warm hug after a long journey. My brother's ears perk up, nose twitches, he looks at me and instantly says "This is NC JELLY DONUTS"!!! I explain to him that... no, this is Momo donuts and is different. When we go to pay for our donuts we mention about our addiction to NC Jelly Donut and ask if they have ever heard of them. That is when the owner bursts into a smile and says "Oh yes, that is my sister!!!" - WHAT A SMALL WORLD! I am happy to share that the addiction has resumed and we are so grateful that Momo donut is now just a short car ride away. A sense of peace and order has returned to the balance of our lives. So, I apologize that there are no photos - the donuts were consumed too quickly to snap a picture. But don't worry - I will visiting again soon! So grateful for this family and their commitment to bringing joy through their baked goods. What a small word that we they have become so vital in our families life. This was such a wonderful surprise!!

What's not to love about a fresh soft doughnut?…read more Momo doughnuts was an unplanned stop while looking for a quick bite on our road trip to FL. As soon as I saw the little flecks of strawberry in the strawberry glazed yeast doughnut I knew that would be delicious and it really was. Normally I would not choose this one because they are usually too sweet for me. Not this one! The little flecks of strawberry gave it just enough tartness to balance it out. The actual yeast doughnut was so pillowy soft too. It was super fresh. We also chose an old fashioned glazed. It was the largest old fashioned I've ever had and it was just a good as the strawberry one. Momo is doing everything right. Service was super friendly and fast too. In a sea of overpriced KK doughnuts Momo was a welcome change.
