Passed the business a many times driving but never had the time to stop in. My friends and coworkers brought an assortment of donuts to work. Outstanding, fresh quality. Melts in your mouth! Check them out. Don't skip the original glazed. They do it well. read more

We love the ladies and donuts at MJ. A staple in Pineville and such a staple in our weekends. If you're looking for delicious, variety and quick and easy transactions look no further. read more

These are yeast donuts like they used to be done back in the day: simple, delicious, and comforting. There's always an ample variety first thing in the morning, with everything from Boston cremes to apple fritters. Most patrons get their treats to-go but there is plenty of seating inside if you want to sit for a bit. read more

I truly love the size and the quality of the donut but the cost has gotten astronomical over the last 10 or 15 years. I went there on the 13th of December here in 2025 and bought a dozen donuts plus and spent over $37 plus tip. I don't see myself returning anytime soon. They're not that good. read more

Love this coffee. Always fantastic. Fresh made donuts daily. Truly will satisfy that sweet tooth. Stop in & say hi they'll be glad to see you. read more

I know I know everyone says Krispy Kreme Donuts are the best.... I say NO WAY! MJ's are by far the best donuts around. They are a ma and pa operation and their heart is in every donut they make. If you want a truly good donut, fluffy not oil laden then this is the place to come to! See you there! read more

Haven't been in a few years, but Yelp thinks I have and keeps asking for a review. I'm trying to get their algorithm to leave me alone. But- I Iike them a lot. They have always had a great selection, and have been very pleasant. I wouldn't think it would be any different now. If a human asked, I would recommend them, so I suppose I could give an algorithm the same courtesy. read more

Pineville staple for decades, always good! Staff is friendly, donuts are delicious, cute family style cafe.

Apple fritter was awesome and the service was great. Decor could use a little refresh but still a good visit. read more

Donuts are perfect. Lights and fluffy and so delicious! The donut holes should literally float!

Best donuts around. The Apple fritters are addicting but you gotta get there early or they sell out! so good! Plus they give you a handful of donut holes with each purchase. So worth it! read more

The apple fritters and donut holes are so good! Lightly sweetened and such a delight.

Super small and cute. A lot of orchids, definitely feels like a small family business! The service was great, the lady was an older Asian woman who was super sweet and answered all our questions. She also gave us a free donut! The donuts are super soft on par with a fresh Kristy Kreme donut without all the sugar! Krispy Kreme and Dunkin are usually sickly sweet for me but this place I was almost about to eat the whole box before my husband stopped me! My favorite was the Maple! Literally tastes like pancake! read more

Amazing. I heard about this place for years and it has always been on my bucket list but due to time and location I could never get there and try their donuts. I finally was able to visit the place today and it is worth all the hype. The lady behind the counter was very kind and happy to fill out my order. She answered questions concerning the donut types, and when I forgot to ask for a receipt she gave the store printed receipt. She even added a handful of donut holes for free. A wonderful woman indeed. I chose a half dozen to take with me. The were so delicious that I could not stop eating them. Each standard donut were light and airy. An easy chew that made it pleasurable to eat. They were: 1) Glazed donut - A lightly sweet glaze without being too sweet. 2) Chocolate covered glazed donut - Soft sweet chocolate flavor that washed over the and melted into the donut flavor. 3) Butterscotch covered glazed donut - As soon as you bite into the butterscotch you can tell the rest of your day will be as sweet. 4) Cinnamon glazed donut - Before biting into the donut, you can smell the cinnamon, and it permeates your mouth as you devour this pleasant donut. 5) Chocolate glazed sourdough donut - a thick rich cake donut batter that is extra crunchy. Not too sweet but very satisfying. 6) Vanilla glazed cake donut - as with the sourdough donut, a thick but soft cake batter that was not too sweet but you could tell that this was a cake donut. Overall, a check mark off the bucket list and a place I would highly recommend to anyone that wants delicious donuts. read more

What a great local donut shop serving the Pineville area. I needed something to take to the office for a meeting so I looked up and saw the reviews here and thought I'd come in. Super nice lady probably the owner was serving up the donuts that they baked fresh every day so I picked a couple of dozen and said mix it up and I got some really good fresh donuts and some free donut holes to serve to my colleagues. They were quite happy! The maple doughnut dipped in bacon bits was fantastic as was there plain glazed and chocolate glazed According to the crowd. Great value with excellent service and even picked up 10 or 12 bottled waters so this was great for me to take to the office for this training class. This is near my new headquarters so I will be back as I only have a Krispy Kreme near me which I love, but this local place really hit the spot. Thanks for a great job read more

First time at MJs in a long time. I'm so sad. As soon as I looked at the case, I had this feeling they didn't look super fresh. I was there at 8:30 am. Sure enough, got home and the icing on several was already breaking down and oozing/watery in the box. That is a sure sign of old glaze. The chocolate glaze doesn't look correct at all and doesn't taste great either. I'm pretty sure I paid $30 for this dozen of sad donuts. She didn't give me a receipt. read more

Today we stopped by MJ donuts en route to visit a few family members for vacation holiday in Charlotte. We arrived at 10:45am and most of their donuts were gone. We selected a dozen glazed, a few cinnamon roll donuts and two apple fritters. They gave us a few extra glazed donuts & donut holes for free. Note arrive to MJ early for a good selection in the Souhtheast area of Charlotte. read more

Light donuts with big flavor. Small business that deserves the love of the bigger chains. Go visit and enjoy!!

Best donuts!! Love supporting this small local shop. How do they make donuts so good?!

Easily in my top 3 favorite donut places in Charlotte. What I like most about M J Donuts is that they remind me of an old school bakery I would go to as a kid. Nothing super fancy about their donuts. Simple and taste great! Very reasonably priced. They always have the case stocked. Although I would recommend going early in the morning, especially on Saturday. I love love love the Boston Cream donut. That donut alone is worth the trip. I would also highly recommend their cinnamon roll. It is a different take on the cinnamon roll. More of a glazed flavor. Speaking of glazed, you always get a bag of glazed donut holes with your order! Go check out M J Donuts. You won't be disappointed! read more

Finally made it before closing time! The donuts are good good. Not those overly sweet type that make you reconsider your dental plan. Kind employee with jokes about see you tomorrow after adding in a MJ cream filled donut, not Boston but maybe Charlotte style. I don't think that exists...yet. That's the correct way to use an ellipsis y'all. Yes, it's not a slick coffee shop to hang about in wildly uncomfortable chairs all day while you "work." It's a place that opens hella early for you to get a donut and coffee and go on about your day. Charlotte has ten plus places for every food idea, only about 2 per food item count. This place counts. read more

I love the cinnamon roll donuts it's one of my favorites. This place of business is always welcoming and everything is always fresh. This is located in the back of the Dollar General. They even give you free glaze donut holes when you make a purchase. read more

Delicious fresh donuts! Get there early for best selection! Good prices; friendly people

This is a great place to get fresh baked donuts!! But you have to get there before 12 noon.

This is one of the hardest place to get too. I been trying. It's alway closed when I would rode pass. I swear I have bee trying for 6months. Finally today I was on that side of town. YASSSSS! A old fashion simple donut joint. Nothing fancy., Good ole cup of coffee and some nice simple yeast donuts. While I love the fancy exotic mixed donuts, I can alway come back to a place like this. I rather go here than the chains. It's run by momma-papa and they open early. But they close by noon. So what's there is there and once it's gone. Say goodbye. I ordered 5 simple made donuts. 2 chocolate glazed donuts, one with berry filling, other is Boston creme. The other 2 are glazed. One with lemon (my favorite) and one other I don't remember. The lemon filled was heavenly. And heavy. Full with lemon filling just the way I like it. Like crust and soft in the inside. Customer service was perfect. Simple and quick plus she have me extra donut. I think that's a win! read more

Decided to try out this Donut shop to help support local businesses vs the big chains. There wasn't much of a selection to choose from considering I stopped by around 9am on a Sunday. Picked up a dozen donuts and was shocked to see it come out to a total of $29. My selections were: Cinnamon sugar - not much flavor Lemon filled - dough was very lacking compared to filling. Pumpkin spice - these were really good and had a lot of flavor Raspberry filled - haven't tried but assuming same issue with dough to filling ratio. Very disappointed and not planning on coming back. read more

Absolutely love ! Service is great and donuts are my favorite in the clt area! I tell everyone looking for some good donuts to try MJ Donuts! read more

Old fashion donut shop. The the one staff working was attentive and focused. The donuts were fresh and yummy. I came on a Sunday morning. There is plenty of parking in a shared lot. You can almost pass it by when you drive. It's a mom and pop kinda joint. It's not too far from Carolina place mall. I came in and was focused on trying the beloved cinnamon roll, but they were out early Sunday morning. I hope to return and get to try the cinnamon roll. The original glazed melts in your mouth. The cinnamon sugar twist was fluffy and tasty. The donut holes were light and airy. They even threw in some extra donut holes- nice! I hope you enjoy. read more

I can't believe I've lived in Charlotte for 24 years and this was my first(not the last)visit to MJ's! I am a donut junkie. I decided to treat myself today. I'm so glad I did! I just wanted a classic donut that wasn't frilly or boujie and wouldn't cost $4 each. I dare say these beauties are lighter than any I've had in my life! I will be back soon read more

Great local donuts. Glad to find a place on the Southside of town. Fresh and open early.

down near the airport means closer to here, relatively, so here I am whirling away. been sampling doughnuts and related pastry all over the place like it's my job and M J's represents the product well. it's usually best to start with basics because "fancy" can hide a world of sins. so I got a pair of simple sugared cake donuts and am pleased to say they were well behaved and didn't befoul the bag during the hour and a half car ride home; yes they left no grease marks! yea! firm round cakes covered in sugars that stuck to mine fingers as I broke off pieces for consumption. no globby mess, no glaze-in-transition, no surprises which is always a pleasant surprise when sampling at distant donutoria and cakeries. also, the bonus baby donuts were lightly glazed and fluffy and a welcome addition to my day. kolaches were another unexpected treat! (central european dog-in-a-blanket to the uninitiated) these bites are the third best part of visiting Tejas after Dr & Mrs Bob and the basement of the Alamo in no particular order. would have really liked the tejano japs + cheese add-in but saw only the standard variety. so anyway, I'm not entirely certain that this is worth the 40 mile drive from the hinterlands but it's only 15 more minutes if you're coming down to Charlotte Douglas anyway... so why not have at it? read more
