The apple fritters are good here. Nice and fresh. The staff was friendly. I have no complaints about this place.

This donut shop truly excels with its exceptional treats, outstanding service, and delightful atmosphere.

Wonderful donuts! I'm a bit of a donut snob, and sad I haven't ventured out to visit NC Donut Star until now. Best glazed donut in the greater charlotte area, and HUGE filled to order donuts. Though it's a little trip, I'll be back for sure!

Outdated menu

Delicious and large doughnuts including filled to order! They have two styles of donut, light and airy glazed (with many many types of frosting and toppings), and light and airy glazed shells to be filled with a variety of filling choices (the shells come in glazed and glazed with chocolate frosting). There are no cake doughnuts, either regular or chocolate (so no chocolate cake glazed, one of my go to's). This is my first time being in a doughnut shop which fills doughnuts to order; they have the following fillings (and maybe more): custard, vanilla cream, raspberry jelly, strawberry jelly, apple jam, lemon. The person at the counter was polite, not too talkative, but patient with a first timer to the shop. The shop was clean and tidy. I didn't look closely at the pricing before I ordered a dozen doughnuts, 6 mixed glazed and 6 mixed filled, which came out to be about $25, which I felt was quite high. It turns out that each category of doughnut has a different price. Also I'm not sure what happens when you mix less expensive and more expensive categories in a box of a dozen, so be sure to inquire and look at the menu on the wall if you're price sensitive. I'm attaching an old menu photo from Google for reference. These are not current prices. Overall I recommend giving them a try at least once.

Made fresh daily. Many varieties of doughnuts! About $40 for two dozen. They also have filling of your choice

Good but not the best. We picked up some on Saturday morning. The main thing is the donuts are lack of the taste of freshness. Better than DD but can't beat the amish donuts from Farmers market. Not much apple or apple taste in apple fritter, just sweetness.

Started out as a dozen but by the time we got home we lost a couple of plain glazed ones. Delicious

One of the best donut places we've ever had, if not the best. We keep going back and every time it's better than the last.

What an amazing experience!…read more I'm from Florida visiting family in Mooresville, and wanted to leave my family with a little something before I left back home. I stopped by Down for Donuts, because it is my family's favorite donuts, on a Thursday around 11:30AM. It's a cute little place, with a window for ordering. They have pictures of all the donuts which I appreciate SO much. The staff was so incredibly lovely and kind. They were super patient with me as I worked my way through the sweets to pick out the ones I wanted. I ended up ordering 10 donuts and 2 cinnamon rolls. I was legitimately shocked when she told me the price was only $26. For fresh, gourmet, homemade donuts and cinnamon rolls?! What a steal! Not only that, I was pleasantly surprised to see a few extra goodies thrown into one of my boxes. I'm not sure if they did that because they knew I was only in town for a couple of days, or because it was closer to the end of their day and they wanted to off-hand a few so that nothing gets thrown away. But my family and I appreciated it so very much! The donuts were incredibly fresh, super huge and soft, sweet, but not too sweet. They simply hit all the right notes. I'd consider moving to Mooresville just for the donuts alone! But in all seriousness, if you're craving something sweet and want to support an inclusive work environment, Down for Doughnuts is THE place. Support your local community and small businesses. After leaving here, my tummy was filled with sweets and my heart was filled with love. I will most definitely be back whenever I come to visit!

Found our new donut spot. Friendly service, amazing donuts with a great selection. Also, the owner…read moresaid they try not to let any donuts go to waste by donating them to local charities daily. What a great mission! Come here and give them a try.

This is a little boutique shop (it auto-corrected to 'little booty shop' but I fixed it. Anyway,…read moreit's in the middle section (where the grass is) in Birkdale Village. But it's also at the end of the strip of shops and near the movie theater, which makes me come to a realization... You get five tiny donuts for $5 (and then they ask for tip on screen and since service was good I obliged) so you could sneak five tiny donuts into the movies and save money on movie snacks and popcorn but the donuts would be gone very quickly and popcorn lasts longer. You probably want the popcorn. Another thing about these donuts is that they are owned by the same guy that owns them at the state fair--not the donuts themselves but the donut booths. And they do taste like state fair donuts. If you're at the state fair, they're sensational. If you're at Birkdale Village, they're small sugary donuts in a really nice-looking trailer. The donuts might also be nostalgic for you as they were for me. My friend in junior high landed a date he had a crush on for two years. The date was at the state fair. I know for a fact they went on the Ferris Wheel and when it stopped at the top, the girl panicked and demanded they rotated the wheel so she could get off the freaking thing. This wish was granted, and that friend ditched her forever. It's also possible that he ate a donut.

Cute concept and super cute place! The service was great! I came here on opening day and there was…read moreno line. I ordered 2 half dozen donuts and got an assortment of them. They came out nice and warm. My favorite was the cinnamon sugar one. I wasn't a fan of the apple cider because it had a fake apple taste. The chocolate one was too bitter I think because they dusted it in cocoa powder. Overall, the donuts were nothing special and they were very overpriced. For tiny bite sized donuts they were 6 for $5. I probably wouldn't get them again.

This is my go to place as it is right next to where I pick up my kids…read more The staff is alway pretty quick and always friendly. Donut selection can be hit or miss. Somedays they have exactly what you want and others they only have a few sad looking donuts on the shelf. The other issue I have is that I can be a little creative with my orders sometimes and about half the staff is willing to help me out and the other half is not. Nothing crazy; mango pineapple refresher with a shot of berry blast type thing. Restaurant is clean and well stocked at all times. Kind of surprised by all the one-star reviews...it's a pretty decent Dunkin, for a Dunkin.

I simply asked to have it added, and I was perfectly willing to pay for it. However, the woman making the coffee was extremely rude. She rolled her eyes repeatedly, gave me nasty looks, and kept saying, "What does she want? What does she want?" even though I was standing just a few feet away. She could have asked me directly, and I had already explained that I ordered two coffees and was missing one. Instead of fixing it and moving on, the reaction was unnecessarily hostile. The comments, the attitude, and the overall service were horrific. These coffees weren't even for me -- I was picking them up as a small gift for a few ladies at the hair salon. I buy donuts for my office twice a month from this location, but after today, I will never be back. To the girl with the lip tattoo making coffee today: please be kind and understanding. You reacted poorly when simple customer service was all that was needed. Even after all that, I still offered to pay for the $3 coffee. Truly disappointing practices.
