The best donuts you can get in the area! Hands down! The place stays packed from open to close, but…read morethey do move you through the line pretty quick. The place is a little small for the amount of business it does. You always seem to be running into someone. But even with the overcrowded store, this is by far my favorite spot to grab a snack in Johnson City!

We stopped in at Auntie Ruth's for a hand-rolled pretzel and a glazed donut and I had no idea it…read morewas an Amish establishment! What a great surprise. The shop is clean, bright, and modern. You can watch the pretzels being hand-rolled behind the glass, and the donuts hanging in the background while the glaze sets. I truly wanted one of everything. They don't offer a huge variety, but I'm perfectly fine with a place that focuses on doing a few things exceptionally well, and "well" doesn't even begin to cover it. It was busy (always a good sign), so everything was incredibly fresh. We ordered a pretzel, vanilla glazed donut, chocolate glazed donut, honey bun latte, and a strawberry lemonade. We grabbed a table after the manager let us know it would be about 10-15 minutes, but it definitely didn't take that long. The pretzel was warm, fluffy, and perfectly buttered with just the right touch of salt. The cheese dipping sauce was cold-it would have been nice if it were warmed slightly. The "honey" mustard came in a prepackaged pod and wasn't actually honey-based, which felt like a missed opportunity, especially given all the delicious local honey and mustard options in the area. The honey bun latte was delicious!!! Flavorful without being overly sweet. The strawberry lemonade was on the sweeter side but still refreshing and I can imagine it being perfect for a hot day. I added a little water since I can't handle too much sugar at once, and it was just right. And the vanilla glazed donut? It was like biting into a warm, fluffy cloud!! Pure comfort in donut form. My only regret is not stopping in sooner so I'd have more days to come back again and again.

My niece sent me here while I was visiting and I shall forever be grateful. Best doughnuts and soft…read morepretzels I have ever had anywhere. ANYWHERE! The doughnuts are double the size of most doughnuts and doubly good. The pretzels are huge, butter basted, warm and delicious. It's not inexpensive but the tastes will cure you of any sticker shock. I spent $40+ for 1/2 dozen regular-1/2 dozen chocolate dipped doughnuts and 6 pretzels with dipping sauces and didn't regret a penny of what I spent. Came back on my way out of town and got a pretzel dog and pretzel for breakfast as well as some doughnuts for later. The food trailer in some of the pictures has been replaced by a building on the edge of Troyer's parking lot. You order at the window and most times there's going to be a line. It's a takeout business so you are on your own if you want to eat right away. The folks are friendly and efficient and orders are filled quickly once you get to the window. If you want to get a preview just search Auntie Ruth's on YouTube and enjoy. It's how I learned that there are a bunch of them in East Tennessee. I just know that if I didn't have enough incentive already to visit my niece then Auntie Ruth's finishes the job.

Boba tea and Kolaches to name a few. There is a small charge for credit cards.

Best donuts in Kingsport. Don't believe me? Go try them for yourself. You won't be disappointed…read more Since I'm a TN newbie, I didn't know if this would truly be great donuts. Well, I'm here to tell you that these little gems melt in your mouth and make you feel like a kid again. My friend told Anna that this was my first visit. Anna said we ordered all her favorites, but there was one more I just HAD to try. So she handed me a donut hot off the line. I practically inhaled it because it was so delicious. Maple Mocha Espresso iced yeast donut is scrumptious. Can't wait to return and try their Maple Bacon yeast donut. We asked why it's drive through only. Anna said it's because she's the only one working there and can't be in front and at the window for all the customers. Hmm, sounds like a job opportunity if anyone is interested. Nice menu at the drive through with photos and descriptions of their donuts and coffee. Love the cute box for small orders.

The donut was sickly sweet and not at all what I had hoped for. There should be a big sign somewhere stating only drive thru service, instead after exiting my car on this cold windy morning I discovered that they only have drive thru service. So back into my car to get my disappointing donut. I ordered one donut and they screwed up that and it took way too much time as the man doing whatever waiting for a lady to come and take my money. HORRIBLE!

We were really looking forward to trying the donuts here. They looked really good based on reviews…read more We stopped in and they do in fact look really good. However.. the donuts are not enclosed in a case and there were flies on them. The girls working the counter were both on their phones and didn't seem to notice the flies or greet us. I honestly don't understand bakeries that leave their baked goods exposed to the open air in general. It's kind of gross anyway, but this just solidified that opinion. It's unfortunate because the donuts looked good and probably are, just couldn't bring myself to ignore the flies and likely exposure to people's coughs/sneezes.

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.
