They have doughnuts, brownies, croissants, muffins, and a variety of other pastries, oh my!! They have a window bar area for seating inside. They also have some outdoor seating, and even a couple of rocking chairs up front. They have flowers on the table, which adds a calming vibe for a bakery.

CAUGHT EM! Red handed, open for business and with none other than DONUTS front, center, couldn't…read moremiss em by a country mile if you tried. This is an absolutely wonderful place and a mandatory stop if near Wilson/a place to put in regular rotation if within a 50 mile radius. It's clean, the staff pleasant and just take a look at those donuts. They speak for themselves. First up - Remove the previous review? Absolutely not. It will give fellow Yelpers something to read while munching on lil ol Wiltzen's Ace in its back pocket, and they may possibly thank me for being the nudge needed to give Wilson Doughnut Shop a chance, or two (or even three like we did) if merely closed for reasons that defy you-the-reader's logic: These donuts are worth the effort. Nothin worth having comes easy, right? Right. Besides, I'm not a Karen. If they're not open when you stop by, it's ok to be sad, just don't give up. Now that we've established the hours and days of operation may not make sense to some - donuts/doughnuts; tomatoes/maters. Interchangeable and of no relevancy. Right away you'll notice that is not Hershey's chocolate or some store bought crap chocolate-flavored, corn syrup industrial mess drizzled over the donuts. This is chocolate how chocolate should be done. Not too sweet and not too bitter that all you taste is cocoa. Of note: If you associate Hershey's, Godiva, Ghirardelli or any other main stream mass produced 'not chocolate but called chocolate' product with what chocolate is supposed to be like, the color is going to be a little off putting to you. Live a little. It's good. The actual dough? Dense and just the right amount of greasiness to drive home the fact these are made fresh on site every morning. The Long John's were good enough to fight over so get two if you have any respect for fellow man: These were built for sharing. Actual cream filling and not some low brow jello pudding mix - I was impressed. The enormous honey buns and cinnamon rolls are included in the price for a dozen so let your "I wanna try em all" run wild. Nuke em later in your microwave and slice like a pizza after supper with a cup of coffee. The most visually appealing were the strawberry filled which are the most difficult to pull off in the land of donut snobs. Great dough they have down which is half the battle. The filling? Well...Really good as is. I am far from convinced that was entirely made from scratch using even frozen berries and a basic gelatinous base for a proper jelly filling BUT I wouldn't turn one of em down. Working with nothing but what they already have, should they ever combine a Long John and a Strawberry Filled donut to make one Chocolate Strawberry something or another? Whew I'mma be one broad back havin... Nevermind. Y'all, go. Get a dozen, minimum. You will not be disappointed. God willing and the creek don't rise I will be back.

Spoiler Alert: I am not a big fan of doughnuts. My daughter…read morebrought home several different kinds of doughnuts from this shop today. She had regular glazed, chocolate glazed and one with cream filling. ( She got more but that's all that made it home!) We cut all of them into pieces so we could try them all. I was hesitant, but started with the cream filled one. WOW!! I was shocked at how good it was. I could have eaten at least two whole ones.... Next I tried the glazed one. Again I was so surprised at how good it was. Not greasy, dough had a great flavor on its own and glaze was just enough. I only got one bite of the chocolate glazed one because my grandson inhaled the rest. It was his favorite. It was very good as well. It had green sprinkles on it and it would have been excellent even without them. We ate them all so fast I didn't get a picture, but I can guarantee you I will be visiting this shop every time I go to Wilson. They made a doughnut fan out of me!
