Move over Dominique Ansel, Freddy Donuts got you beat at the cronut game. Being from New York the…read morecronut is a staple- Freddy's got them beat in every way- the cronut itself is super light and crisp. The flakey buttery layers is heaven. The size of the cronut is huge compared to the Dominique Ansel one. Freddy's is the size of your hand where the other is a quarter size smaller. The cronut at Freddy's is also cheaper going at $4.25 versus $7.75 at Dominique Ansel. They come in glaze drizzle, chocolate and vanilla drizzle, maple drizzle and French toast. Cronuts not available or don't feel like a big cronut...ask if they have the cronut bites. They come in a set of three and you can get either glaze drizzle or cinnamon sugar. The size of their classic and specialty donuts are huge. We are talking easily can be sharable (if you want to). Currently the pricing of their donuts are: $1.95 house/ $2.75 specialty/$2.75 cake/ $3.25 monster filled. They have quite the creative list of flavors. No gluten free options though. Their donuts are light and flavorful. It's not overly sweet at all and well balanced. By their size you get your bang for your buck. If you want to get your choosing of flavors, it's better to go at the start of the day. Later in the day you chance that they could be sold out on flavors - especially if they are busy that day. The donuts are packed in whimsical boxes that are colorful and say "You Deserve A Donut." They also have drinks for purchase but we didn't grab any- maybe next time. On the wall they also have cute donut themed shirts with popular cartoons and characters like Bluey, Pikachu and Deadpool. There is limited parking around the shop. Otherwise plenty of street parking. We took our donuts to go but you can also dine there in front of the store where they have picnic tables. The building looks like it might have been a service gas station in the past. It's decorated with a snake mural and they also have neat drawings inside on their chalkboard menu. We will definitely be back since we have friends that live in the next town over who are also huge fan. 100% recommend this sweet place.

While staying at the Publisher, I couldn't resist stopping in for breakfast treats…read more Once I saw cronies on their menu, it sold me. Their version was nicely glazed if not as flaky layered as other places. I even brought some back to my hubby in Atlanta and he enjoyed his VA treats too. Stop by and support the local businesses!

Everywhere I move I look for the best donut shop in the city. Since coming to Waldorf a year ago I…read morehave been somewhat disappointed that the best donuts were at...wait for it...a grocery store (Giant). Really?! Well I think that no longer. I drove past Donut Connection a few times but it didn't have that inviting look. But today I was blessed to get a chance to try a glazed donut while volunteering (someone bought a couple dozen). I always like to try a glazed first because it's a classic choice. Let me tell you, their glazed donut is excellent! It is moist and perfectly sweet without being too sweet. I think I have officially found Waldorf's best, and I'll definitely be stopping by on my next drive down Leonardtown Road.

These donuts are no joke. Fluffy, fresh, light but also thick, and perfect amount of sweetness. You can tell everything is made fresh in-house and the service is exceptionally wonderful. We love the vanilla donuts and the apple fritters! We can't wait to try more flavors.

A random search for vegan donuts in Germantown led to this. I was surprised I'd never heard of it…read morebefore, but then I realized they don't have a storefront -- they run out of their house! So one random week I decided to contact them just to inquire about their prices, flavors and such (I found this info on their website). They actually didn't respond until over a week later, and I realized it was because they were out of the country! So they let me know when they would be returning and so I contacted them again then. By some insane twist of fate, the day they said to contact them also happened to be National Donut Day -- obviously a sign. It turns out they don't have delivery right now (probably because they just returned?) so I had to arrange a pickup. They're $4 a pop, so I decided to just get half a dozen: Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Oreo Mango Pistachio Rose Raspberry Pina Colada I arrived at the house, waited a few minutes, and the man came to the door with the donut box in hand. The donuts looked awesome too! Then I went to my sister's and surprised them with vegan donuts for the special day -- great feedback all around. I didn't get to taste every single one, but the chocolate oreo, rose, mango pistachio and pina colada were delicious!! The flavors popped, the texture of the donut was light and had me not feeling too guilty, and they looked nice! It was totally unexpected to find a vegan donut spot so close to my sister, and to be family-run is lovely! They have an interesting history on their website, you should give it a read!

I also prefer stuffed doughnuts (like a good Boston cream, etc) but they don't have many options for those. Instead it seems they prefer to put a dollop of the cream in the hole on top. I tried the cookies and cream and the cream cheese in the middle was odd.. it had a stretchy consistency. I like their Cinnamon Toast Crunch one, that one is probably my favorite. They're good and I love the variety but I've had better doughnuts.

The online portal is open during their operating hours. I placed an online order 2 hours before pickup. Upon arrival there was a huge line BUT preorder pickups was easy!

Usually, places that use "Texas" in their name have big shoes to fill, but this place does not disappoint! *Kolache: They have kolaches, but they all contain cheese. I wish they had an option without it--hence the 4 stars. *Cronut: I love their cronuts (croissant-donuts); they are sweet, sugary, and pillowy! *Barvarian Filled: I also enjoyed their Bavarian custard-filled plain donut. This is my go-to donut place now; I refuse to go anywhere else! Their service is fast and quick for a small donut shop.

Listen. I don't know what they put in these apple fritters, and frankly, I don't want to know…read more All I know is my husband reached over to get a piece, and I looked that man dead in his face and said, "I will leave you and this marriage if you reach for my fritter again." Was I serious? Absolutely! Menopause will do that! The glazed cronuts? Equally dangerous. I bought a dozen to share and somehow made it home with three and a story that started with, "They must have shorted me." Amazing staff. Incredible doughnuts. This is one of Lorton's hidden gems. But let me give you one piece of advice: Get there EARLY. Nothing hurts more than walking in with your heart set on an apple fritter, only to watch the person in front of you buy the last one. Baby, that's the kind of disappointment you think about all day. Buy extras. Trust me. These doughnuts will have you saying things you don't mean and protecting your box like it's family heirlooms. Long story short: WORTH THE CALORIES

I always see…read morefellow Yelper Lyn posting pics from Texas Donuts, so of course I had to stop by and get a donut or two! The staff were super friendly and inviting. They provided suggestions, but my heart (and belly) needed a chocolate frosted and buttermilk donut. The latter was delicious, the chocolate frosted was a little dry. I didn't realize until after the fact that they carried Lavazza coffee. I'll have to try it next time! I think it's safe to say I pretty much finished the first donut before I even left the store! There's plenty in parking available, shared by neighboring stores. Would I return? If I am in the area? Yes!
