    We often try to support local small businesses when traveling. There were several donut shops in the area, we decided to try three of them. This one caught our eye because their Earl Grey donut seemed to be a popular favorite, so we came specifically for that. When we arrived around 10 am, Earl Grey was already sold out. There were about 20 basic donuts left (glazed, cake, etc). Good problem to have for the owners.. Fortunately, the person working there, perhaps the owner, offered to make one just for us. It seemed like they already had plain donuts ready and just needed to dip one in the Earl Grey glaze, which is exactly what she did. We really appreciated the effort and kindness! $4 each. As for the taste, it was okay overall. The Earl Grey flavor came through, but the donut was extremely sweet--so sweet that it overpowered the tea flavor. I understand donuts are meant to be sweet, but this one crossed the line a bit. If they could tone down the sugar just a little, it would really let the flavor shine. Overall, we're glad we got to try it, and if we're ever back in the area, we might stop by again to sample other flavors.

    Sausage with potatoes
    Lily F.

    I always drive by this place and saw all of the positive reviews so I stopped by one morning to get a breakfast burrito with sausage and potatoes and an Old Fashioned donut. Since I returned from Chicago last month where I was able to eat at my beloved Do-Rite Donuts, I've still been trying to hunt for the perfect Old Fashioned in the DFW area. The breakfast burrito gets a quick shout out because it was pretty unique as far as breakfast burritos go. I was expecting your typical breakfast sausage with pre-made hashbrowns inside, but the sausage that came with the burrito was more like the Eckrich kind cut up into bite size pieces and the potatoes were smashed and still super hot. I think it was so unique also because it wasn't greasy at all. But the Old Fashioned was better than your average mom and pop donut shop, but still not quite what I'm searching for. I'd love to go back and try their cream brulee donut.

    Every time fly into DFW and when I'm on my way to see family, I make it a point to stop by Earnest to get my favorite donuts: Earl Grey and Honey Citrus. The donuts themselves are light and fluffy and the toppings are out of this world!!

    The go to place for delicious novelty doughnuts. The maple bacon donut itself is worth it no matter what your arteries tell you. All of the donuts are always soft and fluffy. The sandwiches and kolaches are also a popular item that get sold out fairly quickly so come early. Also if you go here frequently, there's a punch card that lets you have $10 when you fill it out completely

    What a good little treat for us Las Vegans. We are visiting The Colony for our son's medical treatment. Everything has been very stressful since we arrived from Las Vegas, NV. We wanted something sweet to calm our nerves, and found ED on Yelp! The donut shop is clean & quaint. The female staff (White lady w/ short hair) was incredibly friendly! She suggested old fashion cinnamon roll donut, as well as blueberry cake donut. I'll save the blueberry one for tomorrow. The cinnamon roll donut was delicious, with the right amount of firmness in terms of chewiness and a ton of cinnamon sprinkles enmeshed inside. So happy to have stopped in, and we'll visit again, the next time we are staying in the DFW area!

    Pikachu Donut. I like that the dough itself isn't too sweet so it balances the sweet glaze.

    Delicious donuts and friendly staff! I love their cronut/cronut holes, perfectly flaky & sweet.

    My favorite spot for croissant donuts. Furthermore, the employees are very friendly and they always give a little something extra free of charge.

    Pretty delicious donuts and close to me so it's perfect! The cronut holes are delicious and I love the texture of them. I enjoyed the blueberry cake donut I tried as well. I recently got the maple bacon and it was also tasty but a bit more sweet than the others. I have also ordered the kolaches and they are good I just wish they had more cheese in the ones that should have cheese. I've ordered some and thought they gave me ones without cheese because I couldn't find any in the kolaches. I love how they usually add a few extra donut holes to the box. The cinnamon roll wasn't bad but it is on the smaller side. Still good flavor and tastes great warmed up for about 10 seconds.

    So many great options for doughnuts in north Dallas! This one is top 3 on just service let alone the pure freshness. Best crème brûlée doughnut so far with them even making one fresh since the case was sold out. Old-fashioned chocolate was solid and apple fritter was perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. On and the extra glazed doughnut didn't hurt!

    cinnamon twist, cinnamon roll, croissant glazed, cherry frosting, strawberry frosting, 2 s'mores, banana cream pie doughnut!

    Wow! we arrived 9:45AM, had a great selection of donuts. both of the employees were very sweet as their donuts. What truly impresses me are the donuts freshness, I am 100% convinced that they are made with love and care. I have no problem paying a little bit extra for something that's made delicately. The ambience is just like a normal coffee shop with the addition of donuts. They offer sandwiches with any type of meat, cheese and egg. They also have burritos stuffed with potatoes, eggs, and meat. You can also get donuts customized with letters, but you have to order those 72 hours in advanced. This is 100% my new favorite donut shop in the area. 100% recommend all that are allowed to have sweet treats.

    If you get nothing else, you need to order the croissant donut holes and the Rhode Island coffee! The croissant donut holes are perfect portions - complete with delightful flaky texture, and right amount of sweetness! I was really pleased with their specialty coffee. I appreciate that they have implemented covid protocols: masks required, must use hand sanitizer or complementary gloves upon entry, stand 6 ft apart from other patrons. Even the merchandise is packaged individually.

    Very excited to find paczkis. Very clean, very fresh donuts. Folks are very friendly as well.

Inside they have a few tables on the first floor across from the matcha pick up area, then theres some merch also which were all super cute mugs to coffee bags and even t-shirts. On the second floor there are also about 6 tables above. Outside has some seats too. I also do love the options where you can switch out the foam flavors or sweeteners to like strawberry foam I believe because that what my friend got and she said it was good! The parking has lots of spaces too.

It's a really cute 2-floor coffee shop and the service is friendly and quick. It provides the perfect space to meet someone over coffee, or to work from the shop. The coffee here has a signature sweet cream, which is delicious, however it disagreed with my stomach both times I had it. The first time I got and iced latte with their regular milk (I'm assuming whole milk). It tore my stomach up!!! The second time I went, I got the same latte but opted for Almond milk instead. Why did it also mess my stomach up?!! It's so upsetting to me, because I love the vibe of this place and the way that the coffee tastes, but unfortunately, my lactose intolerance hates Summer Moon. I don't have this problem with Starbucks, 151, Dutch Bros, or Paris Baguette. It's so disapointing, because I'm a sweet cream iced latte kind of girl, but I think it's a wrap for me.

I ordered a turkey and pepper jack type cheese sandwich. The sandwich I would rate 3 stars. The meat was fine, cheese was ok, but the bread tasted sort of off to me, in spite of looking delicious. Not old or bad tasting, just not tasty. My friend loved her coffee drink. The vibes are what make the location special, though. The place is absolutely perfect for catching up with a friend or studying with many kinds of seating options. I would recommend the drinks over the sandwiches! The dessert options were plentiful though I can't speak to them. They looked promising. One other thing of note - when I went to use the bathroom, there was no one ahead of me in line, but it took a very long time. I probably could have jogged a mile and come back. It sounded like someone was showering in the bathroom, which confused me. I thought maybe the employees had long shifts and there was a built in shower or something and almost went to ask about it. The women's room finally opened, and I discovered it was actually a bidet someone was using . I love bidets, and the person in front of me in line for the bathroom loved them even more. No further comments. Would return!
