Donuts were amazing ! Service was fast I was in and out, I ordered donuts and a steak an egg sandwich. I received all that for less than 10 bucks ! And it was homemade and fast! The workers are very sweet creating a warming ambiance read more

I couldn't help but try a few when stopping by. The apple fritter was fresh and warm, chock full of minced apple goodness. The glazed donut is light, fluffy, and fried to golden perfection. A very nice selection of donuts.This location also does breakfast sandwiches but that's not what I'm here for! People can't seem to drive in this area so the parking lot area leaves much to be desired... but that's part and parcel of being located on a historical / main street, it seems. Not sure about the regular traffic here to this location but there was a small line indoors. I will have to try some more when I have the opportunity to stop by again. read more

I've tried their French toast platter, glazed donuts, and their twist donut! Their food is cooked okay, tastes decent, overall mild. I especially enjoyed their glazed donut. Their customer service is good. The space is small and somewhat clean. Parking can be tricky depending on the car you drive and how you like to park (3-4 diagonals spaces + 4 standard spaces available). Overall, I'd recommend! read more

Hey friends! I came back to try their breakfast. I ordered the egg and cheese on wheat and a side of home fries. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of either. The toast was unbuttered and barely had any cheese. The home fries were barely browned and had zero flavor. Most likely will return for the donuts only. Hope you enjoy. read more

Ahead of the Laurel street festival I realized that I had parked right near Laurel Tavern Donuts... and I've been hearing about them for years, so I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity. The standalone building is so tiny, and I could see how the line would end up out the door pretty easily. Thankfully, when I showed up around 11:30, there was only one person ahead of me. They have a good selection of donuts, coffee, and a bunch of breakfast sandwiches to choose from. A guy that had recently placed his order had said that the twists had just come out of the oven a few minutes ago. That was all I needed to hear... I grabbed one of those and a maple glazed. As I walked to the festival, I took some bites... and I loved how airy the twist was. It was fresh dough and sugary glaze, perfectly simple. The maple glaze was yummy too... the glaze was a notch sweeter than I expected. I'd love to go back and try the breakfast sandwiches... these donuts are great, but they didn't quite make it into my top 3. There were quite a few empty sections in the display, but I was hoping for more of a variety too. Did they sell out?? If I'm in the area and I have a donut craving, heck yeah I'll get one, though. Hope they continue to do well! read more

I came here for the first time on a Saturday morning at 10am and it was packed, I was surprised. My friends and I stopped by and the three of us could barely stand in the lobby since there was a crowd of people all wanting donuts. To be honest I was caught by surprise by the crowd. There is no seating place just a small counter to pick up donuts, but you can see the kitchen. When we walked in we were surprised to see that most of the donut counter was empty, but then 3 big treys of donuts fresh from the oven were brought out. As the line started to close, it was fun to see how people would order dozens, the donuts would start to fall short, and then out comes another fresh batch of donuts. We also ordered breakfast sandwiches along with our dozen donuts. The donuts themselves were fantastic, each donut was top tier. The glazed donuts were not my personal favorites, but the maple donuts were my personal favorite. The boston creme was also filled to the brim and was truly delightful. My third favorite was the blueberry donut. Would not go back to the glaze donuts, dont think they compare to the king of glaze donuts at krispy kreme, but the fresh flavorful donuts are unmatched. The breakfast sandwiches took about 10 mins to come out and were slightly disappointing, which is why my review is 4 stars. It was just plain white bread with not much egg and cheese filling. The bread wasn't toasted much and was quite soft, and it did take some time to come out. Besides that, the donuts were great, would definitely come back for more. read more

My family have been raving about these donuts for years and I finally had the pleasure of trying them a few days ago. The donuts were light and just melt in your mouth. I also ate one the next day and it was not stale or dry in the slightest. Hoping they have the apple fritter the next time I'm in town. read more

Thursday 11/9/2023 Found out about this place for having some of the best donuts in the area so I had to go try for myself. Unfortunately, I ended up getting there around 12 pm and at that point all of the donuts were sold out except for 2 Apple fritters. I ended up getting an Apple fritter $2.39 & the 3 mini burgers (with ketchup & onions) $6. The Apple fritter was just okay and the mini burgers were disappointing and below average. The mini burgers just tasted like plain food that reminded me of high school food which is never a good thing. Strictly basing my experience off of what I got leads to a disappointing and overall underwhelming time. Despite that, I would still be open to returning and coming back at a earlier time when they actually have donuts available. read more

I finally tried the sliders and they are amazing!! Why am I not surprised lol!! This place can do no wrong.

Very fast service. Nice people. And AWESOME donuts! So soft and fluffy, you can tell the donuts are freshly made.

These donuts were so good. Not overly sweet, very light and airy.. better than Dunkin and Krispy Kreme BY FAR. Went on a Thursday morning, not busy at all. Lady at counter was kind. $20 for a dozen, a little pricey but my family devoured the dozen in minutes so I don't regret the money spent at all. read more

Strawberry glazed & Chocolate cream filled The donuts were very soft in texture. The dough was missing that butter rich flavor. The glaze was not overly sweet which is good. The cream was bland, lacking the vanilla. The chocolate was more of a glaze, lacking depth to the donut. Overall they were just okay donuts, not to the hype the Maryland website nor everyone else made them out to be. Again, I am a foodie and have high expectations when I go eat out. read more

The food was good but let your customers know what ingredients you are putting in. I asked for turkey bacon egg and cheese and come to find out they added potatoes in the wrap without my knowledge. Very unprofessional. read more

i was going to take a picture, but I inhaled the donut so fast I forgot. on a serious note, this is truly a one-of-a-kind donut. it's not your typical overly-sweet donut. it's extremely light and fluffy, doesn't leave you feeling overly heavy from sugar (which is always the case with other donuts). I came extremely early, around 6:30 AM, but they didn't have any of their specialty donuts. the woman in the front let me know that the twists/filled donuts are ready 1-2 hours after opening, so if you're looking to get specialty items (fritters, twists, filled) come at around 8-9. i'll be back... maybe tomorrow... read more

There were bugs in my food and they did not care. Hoping they get shut down by the health department

All the hype you've heard about these donuts are true!!!! These are some of the best donuts I've ever tasted. They are so soft and fluffy, and icing just melts in your mouth. I ordered the original, twist and blueberry and they were all amazing. They tasted fresh and were not overbearingly sweet. Would definitely come back to try the other flavors. There are a few parking spots behind the store and when I went around 10am they were pretty stocked but I know they sell out usually by the afternoon. read more

The doughnuts were delicious! Very fresh! The mini burgers were ok. Not great but good for what they were

Good donuts. Soft and sweet. Crowd pleaser. My choice whenever I take donuts to work. Love the order ahead option.

They are back!! And just as good as before. Fresh twist donuts and a Sausage Egg and Cheese on croissant is a Good Friday morning breakfast. The shop is small with fresh paint and counters. The owners and cashiers are just as friendly as before the temporary closure. Heads up--- if you make a right before the shop, it's easier to enter the parking lot and enter the store. This help to keep traffic flowing in the parking lot. It's small, but it s easy to create a traffic jam/back up in Route 1. read more

I finally stopped in to try the donuts. When I first walked in I immediately knew this as a hole in the wall type of place. They didn't have many selections or donuts so I stuck with strawberry, maple and original Glazed donuts. The pricing was okay, paid just under $6 for a half dozen. When I got to the car. I tried a couple of the donuts. They were not bad at all. They were yeast based which I like more than cake. They were soft and glazed enough. The donuts actually were still soft this morning which is a plus! I will say the presentation may be lacking but it makes up for it in taste. read more

Looking for a good donut spot. Found this little spot on Yelp. Donuts are good! Soft just wish was a bit more flavorful. Not a whole lot to choose from, but this is now my little go to donut shop! read more

The person who waited on me didn't say good morning. She wasn't smiling. This was my first time coming in there. I was all excited to try something new and was gonna tell her that but her attitude and her demeanor just wasn't nice. I came in there on Wednesday 23 October. The food by the way was good. The donut was good. read more

Just off historic Laurel's Main Street is a green roof tiny tavern called Laurel Tavern Donuts. It's in an old Little Tavern, a Baltimore-based burger chain, building. The staff are friendly and sell coffee, cold drinks, and of course, doughnuts. They have all the basic kinds. My daughter and I ordered a chocolate glazed twist donut for less than $1. It was warm and delicious! Note: There's a $5 credit card limit. There's a small parking lot in the back. read more

OMG is all I can say. I have been sleeping on the Laura tavern donut shop. The only reason I checked this spot out is because I saw it on yelp with really good reviews and I saw it on another website listed as the #1 donut shop in Laurel. These donuts melt in your mouth they or so fresh and delicious. I'm not even a doughnut lover, but I would definitely be back for more and highly recommend. read more

Judging a book by its cover will make you miss a true treasure. Open the door of this shop and your senses will take you to a happy place. Taste the donuts and you will be hooked. The flavors are delightful and the texture is light. The just right amount of sugar makes this place a "go to". They also make good breakfast sandwiches. Be there when they open or you will miss out!!!!!!! read more

Wonderfully soft glazed fresh donuts. I would definitely go back here to get some donuts.

Went here last Weds 12/29 with a couple of friends as we were walking around the town. This little donut shop caught my eye and I walked in hoping to see a bunch of options but wow by 2pm - they were already sold out of most options and I really only had a couple of choices to make. I got some glazed, some sugar/cinnamon ones, and a chocolate one. Not expecting too much - we got it to go and had it about 20 mins later and wow the donuts are amazing and super soft!!! Honestly I felt like it was a homemade version of Krispy Kreme in a way - but like a bit bigger and better. I'd get it again if I was in this part of town! If you are considering trying it - go check it out. read more

This place is very underwhelming at first glance but it is a historic little place that's definitely worth the stop!! The donuts weren't anything special but I loved the mini burgers! The prices are good and the burgers were juicy and flavorful. Overall, this is a must try for those 80 year old burgers!! read more

I'm surprised I never did a review of this place, since Little Tavern was one of my favorite places to go to get hamburgers when I was young. The hamburgers in this place are much like the ones they had at Little Taverns everywhere. They are so close to the original it's hard to tell them apart. I would definitely go back here again and buy some by the bag. read more

Biting into one of their glazed donuts was an out of body experience - seriously never ate anything so light and fluffy. It literally melts in your mouth and makes you question reality. read more

I love this place, and I was very saddened to see someone decided to drive their car into it. I can't wait for them to open again so I can get those amazing burger sliders! Been coming here for 10 years now, and the slider recipe is just like the one they used for a little tavern burgers in Wheaton Maryland. It's a cute little place tucked away in downtown Laurel, they'll forever have a customer with me. read more

Best donuts I've ever had in my life. Light and fluffy. Unfortunately it looks like a car crashed into the side of their shop earlier this week so they are temporarily closed. At least I'm hoping it's temporary. read more

I'm a lover of donuts. So much so, I would prefer them over majority of cakes. With that being said, I know a good donut when I taste one! I knew I was going to Laurel for a meeting, so I thought I would cross Laurel Tavern Donuts off my list of "places to try" since it's been bookmarked forever and a day. If you blink, you will pass it. In the past, I have passed it, hence the reason I've never stopped before. Glad I asked the BFF Crystal H. it's approximate location, because I had no clue I'd been driving right past it all this time. I stopped in around 1pm on a weekday and parked in the back in a tiny parking lot adjacent to the shop. The shop itself is a complete dive/hole in the wall, which is cool because that's usually where the best food comes from. The signs posted on the door of course informed everyone to wear a mask...it is a pandemic going on, so I would expect nothing less, but then other signs urged people to have conversations on your phone outside of the shop and not to talk on the phone inside. No problem for me because I don't normally do that, but apparently that must be an issue for the store owners. The same signs were also posted inside, just in case you didn't get the message. Two women were working inside and 1 greeted me in a very annoyed manner. Three selections of donuts were available. I chose the glazed twist and chocolate twist...for a total of $2. Not a bad deal. I ate the chocolate twist donut and thought it was a solid donut, but not the best I've ever eaten. It was fresh and tasty, but just average in my book. I wouldn't make a special trip from my home to come here for a donut. Maybe I needed to be here in the morning to get the extra fresh batch, but these were just average. I hear the mini burgers are really good, so perhaps if I'm in the area and want a few sliders, I'll pop in. I'll be sure not to talk on the phone inside the shop if I do. HA! read more

Definitely a hole in the wall (sometimes the hole in the wall places serve the best food ‍) but apparently there's some history with this place/location. Got a half dozen glazed and iced donuts and a steak/egg/cheese sandwich. Donuts were pretty good but the sandwich was cooked with steakum like meat, so it was pretty thin and they only had white bread. I was pleased with the overall taste of everything. I would be back. As far as the hospitality, the lady at the register wasn't necessarily friendly but she wasn't rude either IMO. She said good morning and thanked me for my business but there wasn't any small talk which I was ok with. I had more conversation with the other two patrons in there, they both recommended the home fries which I will try on another visit. There's a very small lot in the back with a few spots on the side, just make sure you turn in as you approach and not after... it's a one way street so you can't easily turn around once you realize you've past it. read more
