    Donuts made by JOY Donuts
    Cindy C.

    They make the cutest donuts and their customer service is fabulous. We did place this order early to ensure it would be available and ready for teacher appreciation week. My son and husband have gone on Saturdays and enjoyed eating there sharing donuts and said it was a nice experience.

    They put plastic on my croissant sandwich the meat pattie was completely wrapped in plastic I tried calling but they refuse to answer the phone I come here all the time and they have lost my business how can u be so negligent I could have choked or someone else in my house could have horrible experience and they have no remorse if anyone knows how I can escalate this situation pls let me know

    Very fresh donuts with very friendly staff. The character donuts are the best. My kids love them very much. Will come back.

    My favorite donut place!! I love supporting this place. We come here a couple times a week. Their donuts are always so fresh. The couple that own it are always so friendly and eager to help. My favorite donut is the apple fritter. They have a large one and a small one. I'm not going to lie, I get the large one! That's how delicious they are! They're hours are slightly different due to the current situation, but it's posted on their door.

    Joy Donuts or "Donut Heaven" to me...

    Got a secret folks... this morning while getting my car serviced I took a walk and discovered a wonderful donut shop. Joy Donuts! Wonderful fresh donuts with good coffee are served by friendly people eager to please. Seriously I am not from Dacula but I will make the drive to come back to get these fresh tasty gems. The photos while showing the creativity do not do justice to the quality and taste. By the way they also have some sausages which are wrapped in pastry and similar items. Not cheap (like grocery store donuts) but worth the price. Free parking at the door but limited inside seating. I appreciate that they wore masks and encouraged patrons to social distance.

    I am normally a Rays Donuts fan but wanted to try this new location for donuts b/c it's closer to home. While their donut selection features a colorful array of character themed, frosting heavy creations, I didn't feel like the donuts were necessarily special. I did try the cronut style donut with chocolate glaze and powdered sugar which what probably what I liked the most. The cronut donut had a chewier texture than a yeast donut and was not a super sweet mess to eat.

Growing up eating Haitian food allowed my pallet to know good from bad. Haiti competing this year lead me to renew my exploration of local Haitian restaurants. I was able to learn of some new ones that participated in the fanfare downtown, and also learn about a few in the more suburban areas. I learned about La Citadelle Bakery from a Haitian influencer who is likely a fellow foodie. She spoke highly of La Citadelle Bakery and all the authentic, delicious meals that they make as well as baked goods. Everything looked appetizing and I had to add to La Citadelle to my list. Website allowed for viewing of the menu and on-line ordering. There were a few specials listed including the griot meal I ordered. I was able to select a pick up time and set with enough time to make a stop. Upon arrival my meal was boxed and bagged while I looked at the various items in the restaurant. Bakery items were displayed throughout on shelves and in cases. There were also pre-packaged items and beverages in the refrigerator. I added a package of fresh baked bread rolls and a jar of pikleaz to my order. My food was presented before bagging and included the gravy and a side of pikleaz. The food was prepared exactly as I had expected, and tasted scrumptious; each and every bite! The location is in close proximity to the downtown Lawrenceville area in the Crogan Center plaza. The plaza has ample parking for La Citadelle and its neighboring businesses. My next visit will be soon as they were many other items that caught my attention, as well as as being featured on the social media post.

    Food was amazing, restaurant was nice; it was just the patties that I wasn't rocking with.read more

    I forgot to take a photo of the full order. Shame on me, because it looked like a pastry runway…read moreshow. I've also had PB bookmarked for quite sometime...so I blame my eagerness for the failed group runway photos. Lol I placed my order at 5 AM for an 8:15/8:30 AM pickup, and they still managed to pack everything like they were preparing it for royalty. Let mama break it down for you! Berry Tart: This tart walked in looking like it pays rent. Gorgeous, glossy, and so pretty I almost apologized before cutting into it. Clients loved it. My kids loved it. Strawberry Soft Cream Cake Slice: My 2‑year‑old (CEO of Strawberry Obsessed Galore) approved immediately. Every layer had actual thick strawberry pieces, not those sad little bits that makes you wonder if there were even strawberries in here or just mushed up pieces... Sweet, creamy, NOT overly weak and a total show‑off. We devoured it. Fruit Pastry & Raspberry Fruit Bite: Flaky pastry + custard + fruit = the holy trinity. These two didn't miss. They understood the assignment and executed flawlessly. Curry & Crab Croquette: I'm team CRAB croquette. It was loaded, crispy, and basically winked at me. My colleague, however, acted like the curry croquette was a spiritual experience. Pretty sure his eyes rolled to the back of his head..HAH. Both are winners! Pepperoni Pizzetta: My 4‑year‑old took one bite and immediately rejected Papa John's. That's the entire review. Case closed. Iced Sweet Green Tea: This one... was not it. It tasted like coffee that borrowed someone else's filter. We'll just leave it at that. Now, let's talk service: They open at 7 AM, and somehow had my entire order made, warmed, packed, organized, and ready in just over an hour..while other customers were inside, AND they helped me load everything into my car. My short notice didn't even make them blink.

Since my…read moresorority sister moved to this incredible walkable community in Buford, I've been spending so much more time in the area and discovering this gem was the ultimate highlight. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh-baked pastries wraps around you like a warm hug, instantly putting your mind at ease. The interior is stunning, bright, modern, and buzzing with the best energy. Even with a packed house of happy customers, the vibe remains sophisticated and welcoming. I spent my wait time snapping photos of the display cases because every single creation looked like a work of art! The staff members are the true stars here; they are incredibly kind, attentive, and eager to ensure every guest has a perfect experience. I couldn't leave without a massive haul. I picked up treats for the entire household and plenty of goodies to enjoy at home later. If you are anywhere near Buford or shopping at the Mall of Georgia, this is your sign to stop in. This wasn't just a bakery run; it was a full experience. I am already planning my next visit! #ashsaidit #parisbaguette #mallofgeorgia #bufordga #atlantafoodie #atleats #bakerylove #freshbaked #atlantablogger #gourmetpastry #shoppingday #visitbuford #pastryart #foodieadventure #communityvibes #breadlover #sweettooth #atlantaliving #weekendvibes

    I'm going to follow up my Yelp buddy Frank T's 6/7/2018 review and say that I agree with him…read more Compared to numerous other QuikTrip stores I've visited over the past decade in metro Atlanta and along interstates in North and South Carolina, this QT at 316 and Winder Hwy in Dacula could use a facelift. It's not Generation 3 and those became the norm for QT beginning in 2012. This is QT store #766. It's popular and busy because of its location. It's situated roughly halfway between Atlanta and Athens. I visited this location to fill up on my way from Atlanta to nearby Winder to play golf at The Chimneys Golf Course. I was a little surprised at how busy this place was on a Saturday morning before 8am. It was really busy, inside and out. While here, I saw two different meetups, one of which looked like an import scene meetup. An import scene meetup before 8am on a Saturday? Maybe they were headed somewhere. The gas station has 20 pumps. This one even has a separate filling area for semis (truck diesel). I usually only see those at QTs off an interstate. Like other QTs in metro Atlanta, maybe they should build a new, bigger one nearby and close this one down. This one might be too small for the area now. It looks like there's enough land for them to expand on the current lot or build across the highway(s). It'd be nice if they created access to this QT from 316. As of right now, if you're on 316, you have to turn at the light and enter from Winder Hwy. All in all though, an OK QT. And I'm a fan of QT.
