Stopped in for some doughnuts at King Doughnuts since the one we wanted to visit was sadly closed on Tuesdays. Boy am I glad for this detour. The doughnuts were oh so yummy, dough was soft but still had a little bite. Flavors were several, but no signage, so the staff was helpful in defining what each was. Also filled a doughnut for me when the particular filling I wanted wasn't available. For sure would recommend king doughnut! read more

I'm so happy there's another donut shop nearby. It's located right by the Walgreens on Eastern Parkway. The employees here were super nice and helpful. The prices are pretty reasonable too. All the donuts I had were so delicious. Their original glazed donuts were amazing. Definitely super light and fluffy. I tried a breakfast sandwich and that was really good too. I had a strawberry smoothie. It didn't seem like it was made with real fruit. Maybe a strawberry syrup? Either way it was nice and refreshing. read more

Cute place, they have a bunch of donut options, and breakfast sandwiches at decent prices. I ordered a "cronut" which was hilariously just a small croissant with icing on top, still tasted good though! You can order ahead and pick up but be warned, if they are out of something they make you pick something else, they will not (or can not? I'm not sure) refund you for the out of stock item. read more

The spot has opened up off the Eastern Parkway. It is very clean and well spaced. They have taken a lot of precautions for COVID19 to keep employees and patrons safe. They have marked the floors for physical distancing. The donuts over regularly available and they have sandwiches as well as smoothies. I got a strawberry sprinkle doughnut which was delicious. Then I also got a chocolate covered custard filled donut. The custard is probably the best that I've ever had. The donuts are light, fluffy and airy. I can't wait to go back and try a smoothie which even comes in Thai tea flavor. This is definitely a place to check out. read more

Delicious donuts. Love the crisp of the apple fritter ( dough reminds me of an old favorite from "Winn-Dixie" called the "big ugly". The yeast glazed are freshly made and the variety is different and good at the same time. They also have Blue Bell ice cream by the scoop which is unique and new for the area. We will be back:) read more

We stopped for coffee at the place next door and saw King Donut. The staff is so friendly, greeting with huge smiles and kind words. They served us efficiently, BUT THE DONUTS WERE DELECTABLE! The apple fritter was so crispy and iced thoroughly, and the sprinkle donut was SO SOFT and practically melted in my mouth. One friend said the coconut donut flavor was unique and tasty. Another said they have had many blueberry donuts in their day and this was the best. 10/10 YOU MUST GO! read more

Stopped in right before closing to check out the doughnuts...I was totally surprised! I halfway expected the doughnuts to not be soft since it was closing time! Ummmm, I was wrong! The gentleman waiting on me was extremely friendly and didn't rush me to make a selection. I jumped in the car, sanitized my hands and reached in my bag... the only thing left to say is, "Ooohhhh doughnuts!" I got the cinnamon roll and it was delicious! I'll go back to try others...so should you!! read more

I am admittedly both a donut snob and a donut purist. I love a simple glazed donut above all else. There's nothing to hide behind; It has to be good on its own merit. I've tried several places around town since moving here, including some that are considered the best donuts in town and I think King Donut beats them all so far. Maybe not a lot of creative offerings but that's not what I'm looking for anyway! I always receive service with a smile as well, which is nice. Glad this place is just down the street! read more

We were so excited to see a new location on Eastern Parkway!! We have been the past 2 weekends since we have known they were open. You must try a cronut (a glazed croissant). So addicting. The donuts are flaky and melt in your mouth. We tried the ice cream they have in store and it was amazing too! The texture was unique and really good! Only complaint? We wish it could be open later for ice cream :) Give this place a try! We like to alternate between here and Nords because they both have unique things! read more

Everything on the King Donuts menu is fantastic. If you order a fruit smoothie or a breakfast sandwich, they make it for you right there on the spot. One piece of advice: if you take home a dozen or a half-dozen donuts, make sure that you refrigerate anything that you don't eat right away. There are virtually NO preservatives in the icings or fillings here, which unfortunately does mean that the donuts won't last at room temperature. However, they do taste great chilled, and they last quite a while in the refrigerator!
