I've been craving some home made donut so I decided to stop by this shop here. I must say it was basic exterior design from the outside but when you walked in. Transformation of the interior and decor. The fresh baked donut, crepes, donut holes, and much more offered to your cravings. I decided to go with the donut holes n they were very good. read more

This looks like a ghetto hole in the wall but do yourself a favor and stop in! Their donut selection amazing! They have a lot of drinks and even breakfast sandwiches. I got a dozen to bring to work and also got a custom crème filled donut! If you ask for one to be filled they will fill for you, how amazing is that! Donuts are a food group for me so I loved these. The flavors were fresh and had the perfect amount of crunch around the edges. There is plenty of seating if you choose to dine in. read more

Solid Memphis establishment to get your donut fix on at. Kolaches are hit or miss, but when they're good, they're GOOD. If you don't want to deal with the weekend Gibson crowd or venture too far from home (if home is 38122), this Berclair location fits the bill. read more

The doughnuts are the "BEST." I'm so glad that the new location on Whitten Rd is close to my house. Can't wait to stop by

Howard Donuts on Summer is the real deal. Fresh, fluffy, and packed with flavor, they give the competition a serious run for their money. Great taste, friendly service, and prices that make you come back for more. read more

First and last visit. Will not revisit this business!! Food: donuts look good Service: mediocre (BEWARE not friendly towards black and brown people!) Ambiance: clean and casual There is a minimum amount to use card, must spend $4.00 or more. Prices varies depending on the donut and size. A dozen is about $13.00 +\- They do have day old donuts for sale by the bag around $5 (already bagged, usually an assortment) read more

Howard's Donuts - Radom Sprinkled Donuts Mixed Box - Donuts Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

According to the lady behind the counter I ordered $24 worth of products, tipped $3.50, drove 20 minutes home and then drove twenty minutes back all because I wanted to swap out a donut that I ordered on purpose. What really happened was I ordered a donut that wasn't in the display case so they made it in the back. I didn't see it until I got home and saw the one donut was made wrong. Instead of swapping ONE donut out they accused me of lying and lost a loyal customer. While they did end up swapping it out before I left, I'm extremely upset to be accused of lying. I work hard for my money and will spend it where I'm appreciated. read more

We happened upon this shop when the restaurant we chose for breakfast was closed. The donuts here are amazing! Lots of variety, good prices, and fresh donuts. We got a half dozen of different types of donuts and ate three right away. The Frosted Red Velvet had a crunch around the exterior from being fried. It had a wonderful mouth feel between the crunch, the soft interior and the sweet icing. The Pink Sprinkle was fresh but no different than most other donut shops. The Chocolate Dipped Sourdough was exactly like the glazed one you typically see but with a nice chocolatey taste - not too sweet either. We are saving the rest for later. The owners welcome you with a smile - great way to start your day. I highly recommend! read more

Definitely check your order before leaving. The last two times my order was not correct. Ordered bacon croissants and received sausage, donuts were not the correct filling either. read more

Yesterday, I visited Howard's Donuts on Summer and witnessed an employee making a racial comment about a young black male. The worker grew frustrated as the customer wanted to use his debit card, which requires a minimum purchase of $4 or $5. After pondering, he made his choice. When it was my turn, I said, 'It wasn't nice to make that comment!' Others behind me in line replied, 'YEAH!' She then responded, 'If you don't like it, don't shop here!' Howard's Donuts I walked out and will never purchase here again! read more

Howard's seems to have the sweetness dialed in to the perfect level. Their donuts aren't overbearingly sweet, and are quite tasty. Can't go wrong with a dozen and some delicious old fashioned donuts. Nice folks too! Worth a visit. read more

Kolaches, cake donuts, fritters and every other shape/flavor ou; what's not to love? The faces always have smiles, coffee is always hot, and the warmth in the air speaks for itself. Always my go to for anything breakfast pastry related. read more

On any given morning Driving to Howard's as dawn approaches & the morning commute of regulars stop in before work. Customers gather at the counter eager for a quick & convenient bite. Other regulars prefer taking the day slow & grab a seat quick as dining room space has limited seating & they are wanting to enjoy a slower pace savouring their tasty pastry sandwich Kolache or donut with coffee or morning beverage of choice offered. From the moment display cases are stocked coffees brewed & orders taken the morning rush begins.    I use to pass Howard's giving it no thought until stopping in with my ex gf on her way to work making me a new regular here as I frequented here while she ordered her dozen glazed & I would order my usual of a ham egg and cheese croissant a kolache & french curler with milk.  When I arrived the first thing I took notice of was the display case showcasing a small variety of pastries and donuts which all looked delicious so I ordered a dozen for me & my ex gf to share later that day. There's a warmer counter containing my 3 favorites of Kolaches  croissant-wiches & breakfast biscuit varieties filled with delicious breakfast meats. There's not more I can ask for, variety it's perfect.   When I would receive my hot sandwich or kolache my orders would differ in consistency. There's times I'd come in early yet the sandwiches or kolaches would be lukewarm & what would remain unchanged is the underwhelming seasoning of my breakfast sandwiches. Cashiers here are hospitable & helpful with my orders. If it wasn't for the lack of time & limited seating. What I would do is take time watching traffic pass by while I enjoy my meal. Why not? They keep the dining room clean. It's peaceful enough to read the paper or a book. When I'm back in town I'll take the chance when visiting with friends & enjoy my usual order for old time sake & see what has changed.     Be sure to like on FB &  tell a friend https://www.facebook.com/howardsdonutsmemphis/ read more

Love how my day starts with the fresh donuts. especially their glazed and chocolate glazed donuts taste so good so yum. The breakfast sandwich and Kolache are great as well, fresh and tasty. clean environment and very friendly staffs with fast serviced. You should try their iced-thai tea and iced-green tea too, it's just more than I can describe. it's super good. I'm glade I have found this shop. read more

My family has been going to Howard's Donuts on Summer for over 20 years. Today will be the last time. I went to Howard's after picking up breakfast at nearby McDonalds-one breakfast item with hash browns. Because I had my Lab in the car and didn't want to leave an empty McDonalds sack for her to get into, I took it in to the store and put it in their trash can located in the small eating area. I waited in line, ordered and was paying my bill when the owner/ manager (I'm assuming since she interrupted the clerk who has helping me) bellowed at me that I was not to bring my household trash to her store ever again. I explained about the dog and the McDonalds bag. She responded that it wasn't her problem. I said that if she acted like that to her customers, she might have to worry about how she treated people who were frequenting her establishment. She told me she could do without my business. WOW, I'm still shocked. After many, many years of going there, it will be sad when my children and grandchildren come to Memphis and I explain their favorite donut store is no longer an option. I know the economy out there is rough but customer service like this will drive away even longtime customers. As for me, I'm finding a new breakfast place. Luckily my kids love Starbucks and a new one just opened further east down Summer Ave. read more

The best donuts in Memphis by far!! So fresh with no funny after taste or gumminess middle. I have bought donuts in 18 states and Howard's beats every donut shop I've ever been to. They serve fresh donuts all day until 6pm. Y'all better come and get you some! read more

The French Cruller doughnut they have here at Howard's on Summer Ave is the best doughnut in Memphis, hands down. They only make it on the weekends and it's a good thing they do because I would probably double my weight if it were an everyday product. Do me a favor and don't buy them out! Save me some!!! read more

Y-U-M. Only three letters can describe this place. When I'm craving sugar or any pastry, I never ever think about donuts just because that's not who I am. Yet my girlfriend has been telling me about this local donut shop. I had promised her a donut day after a tough week at the gym (ironic). I do not regret this experience as it was soooooo pleasant. I asked for the freshest donuts and it was the glazed donut and then we also got two cake donuts. They were sweet but extremely balanced and smooth. The texture was crispy and crunchy but not in a stale way. The glaze was so crystallized that it gave it an additional crunch! The flavor was bomb! You must go and try the cake donuts, specially the chocolate one! read more

I actually like Howard's more than I like Gibson's. Every donut I've had from them so far has been fresh and delicious. Their cinnamon rolls are super good and I'm not a fan of just glazed donuts but I like theirs. read more

So yummy!!! We love the donuts here. Good convenient location also. Support Howard's Donuts!

I am not a huge fan of donuts but my boyfriend wanted donuts so donuts he got! Much to my surprise, I found the most delightful little non-donut treats! It is entirely possible that these mini hot dogs wrapped in mini croissants are going to make me gain 15 pounds. This is potentially very dangerous! Especially since it is right around the corner from my house...3 for $1 - its even economical. And I did steal a bite of the boy's donut...and it was delicious! read more

I consider myself a "donut connoisseur". These donuts are heavenly! Fresh, light, not too sweet and tasty. My fiancè ate 3 for breakfast, and I caught him eating another for a midnight snack! We'll be back for sure. read more

Cute, quaint little donut shop on the way to my friend's house that I've visited a few times. They make things fresh and sell out of most things around noon, so the early bird not only catches the worm, but it also catches the hot donuts from Howard's. I love all things sweet, so donuts are no exception. It doesn't replace Gibson's for me, but it does come quite close! read more

I'm a fat girl at heart, so I love me some donuts. I love Howard's donut holes. They are seriously addicting. As an added bonus, I feel like I am not consuming as many calories if I eat..oh..say 15 donut holes instead of 2 real, life size donuts. Shut it. Others have said it, and I'll say it again for good measure. Howard's is a total mom and pop type place. I like supporting mom and pop establishments. It's so much more fulfilling than handing over your hard earned cash to some large chain store. Go here now, and make sure to get some donut holes and a coffee. The coffee is great- only better when you can dunk chocolate and cinnamon donut holes in the warm liquidy goodness. read more

I don't frequent donut shops very often, and when I do I expect too much I think. It's like never going to McDonalds, then finally treating yourself to a large fries and they come out soggy. That's how I felt here. If I had gotten a box or eaten in the store, I probably would have given another star, but they crammed both frosted donuts into one tiny bag which turned the contents into a smushy, deflated, colorful mess. The frosting was a little too sweet. I should have stuck with the staples: glazed, sugar and stuffed. All of those looked really good. I also got a plain cake donut and loved it. The batter was very good and it was cooked perfectly; little crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The coffee is also pretty good, but see if you can get a bigger cup, I apparently ordered a shot. read more

We love Howard's and always have !!!! My daughter and I love Kolaches and it's closer than Gibson's (they do not have kolaches) these donuts are just as good as Gibson's and not near as crowded! We love the staff as well! They are so nice:) we appreciate this business! read more

Sure, Krispy Kreme gets all the press, but since Mr. Howard opened his shop on Madison and Avalon (now a wings & beepers store), Memphians have flocked in, in the mornings to get a tasty sugar rush and coffee. This location still serves the same recipe blueberry donuts that had a certain singer from Tupelo coming in for more (probably more than he should've) and a chocolate cake donut that was a favorite of Rufus Thomas. *personal favs: apple fritters, the blueberry and the old fashioned chocolate cake donuts. read more
