    Glazed Donuts
    Mark D.

    Best donuts I've had in the area! I'm more old school and usually just go with the glazed donut. So fluffy and soft! It's like they just melt in your mouth. As you can see in the pic, they're huge! I've also had the red velvet, which was great as well. The staff here is very nice and welcoming. Get here early! The display can sometimes look rather empty because a lot of people have already been here to grab these delicious treats. I feel like most people around here already know that :)

    Dozen glazed

    This place is worth a stop if you're passing through Burlington. They have huge, delicious yeast doughnuts. Place smells amazing and they'll fill the jelly ones right there after you pick your jelly flavor. They are twice the size of Krispy Kreme and cheaper (not that I don't love my Krispy Kreme). You will not be disappointed.

    Quite a few donut options if you don't come after a rush!!!!

    This place always has a line and there is a reason why! There are also regulars I see just about every time who sit together in the booths to catch up! All of the donuts and sweet treats (think apple fritters & cinnamon rolls) are constantly coming out the kitchen hot and fresh!!! Because of the line, a lot of the items are first come first serve if you come during a busy rush hour, so I recommend not having your heart set on something incase it is out! Even when there is a limited selection, there is always something delicious waiting for you!!! I tend to grab a non plain donut like blueberry, twist, cereal covered, or chocolate but this is also the ONE PLACE I'll grab a plain (yet far from basic), fluffy, perfectly glazed donut!!! Even if glazed donuts are not out, ask because they usually have some fresh glazed donuts and donut holes waiting in the back! You can also place an order ahead of time! I noticed this being a popular option for large orders during the holidays!

    This place is honestly one of the best donut places! It's affordable, the donuts are wonderful and the service is fast, efficient and friendly! There was a line when I arrived and the two ladies working were busting their butts to get everyone served in a timely manner! Don't sleep on this place.

    The absolute best donuts in the triad area! I come here every few weeks and had to bring some donuts home to my parents when they visited me. The donuts are big, but super light, and incredibly fresh. This time around I had the coconut donut and a few donut holes. Line can be long, but the employees work fast to serve everyone quickly. Prices aren't bad either. It's a hole in the wall place with a few tables if you are looking to eat the donuts there.

    When I tell you these are the best donuts that I have ever had in my entire life!!! I've never been to the physically location, but my landscaper drives an hour & a half to bring me these donuts because he knows I love them so much ! I wish I could give them 10 stars. They are huge , so fluffy & melt in your mouth!

    I had heard good things about T Distefano's bakery before and happened to be in Mebane for the day…read more I'm so glad I was because everything we tried was delicious. The shop has the display cases right when you walk in the door and there is a little cafe area off to the right which seemed cute. We were greeted when we walked in and the girl who helped us gave us plenty of time while we decided what to order. I asked what her favorite thing was that they had and she told me the danishes or the cheesecakes. I ended up ordering several things to try: a glazed donut, glazed raspberry filled donut, powdered raspberry filled donut, cheese danish, chocolate chip cookie, and cinnamon roll. The donuts and cinnamon roll were given to family who already knew how good the donuts were and we tried the chocolate chip cookie and cheese danish. The chocolate chip cookie was huge, chewy, and had a great flavor. I think my favorite thing I tried was the cheese danish. The dough was buttery and the filling wasn't too sweet. It was a great suggestion from the girl working there. Also, all of this was under $18 which is crazy. Will definitely be coming back.

More costly than what they were when I was in college, but still the same delightful taste, the store turns on the hot light sign and I am there. Before we even left the parking lot, half the dozen was gone. The melt in your mouth factor of the fresh from the grease doughnut lets me know that heaven is real.

The interior was clean and looked like all other Krispy Kreme's I've been to recently. I'm looking forward to eating more tomorrow, although you can't replicate the doughy inside right now, but if you nuke it for 8 seconds and add a cup of coffee, it's as good as you can get under those circumstances.

The first time I found this spot, I was so obsessed I was literally coming here every single day (no shame at all). The donuts are always fresh, beautifully made and dangerously delicious. Every visit tastes just as amazing as the last, which says a lot because consistency is everything. Beyond the donuts, the customer service is always phenomenal and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality you're getting. At this point, it's become a tradition anytime I'm heading to visit family in Florida, I have to stop here and grab a dozen to bring with me. Safe to say these donuts now have fans in multiple states. Highly recommend if you're looking for a treat that's worth every bite.

    Come early because they sell out fast!…read more I was referred here by a customer at my job, who raved about how good the donuts were. So it was a no-brainer that I stopped by, especially since they live in Durham. I stopped in about 2 PM on a Friday and they have practically sold out of most things, which is not unlikely. There's often a long line when they open to get fresh donuts. I got a red velvet doughnut, an apple fritter, and a regular cruller. They were so light and airy and practically melted in your mouth. I could see how dangerous it would be if I lived closer I would probably stop every week! It's a family owned restaurant so it was nice to see them all working together and all smiles. I really loved that. They were super helpful in suggesting their favorite items and encouraging me to come again so I can try their different options. I'll definitely be back-thanks NC Jelly Donuts for a great first experience!

They were gone quickly. We wanted more nachos after we finished. A classic nacho topped with stewed chicken meat and so flavorful. The esquite (street corn) was delicious and creamy with hints of spices. My favorite was the Fresca Crema, made from fresh cut strawberries, house made whipped cream and cream. It is fresh, creamy, and balanced - very refreshing on a sunny afternoon. My crew enjoyed smoothies as well. The mini donuts were served hot and should be eaten immediately because of the toppings. They were so tasty and fresh. This is a food truck and a brick and mortar that is being renovated at the moment.

I will start by say the customer service was top notch. The young man went out of his way to suggest options for me. I ended up trying an assortment of mini Doughnuts and a strawberry banana smoothie. The doughnuts were part of the event but goodness were they good. My favorite was the "s'mores" looking one. They were fresh, warm and chewy. I even shared one with my grandma and mom and they said they were the best doughnuts they have ever had. Better than a local town favorite (hint hint - Krispy Kreme). The smoothie was awesome because it was make with real fruit of course and alkaline water which was neat. Dairy can sometimes not sit right with me so this was a blessing to find. It was a little on the sweet side so I'm hoping next time I go I can request not as sweet. I am just absolutely blown away by the care, freshness, and hospitality of this food truck. I think I'll stop on my way home from work tomorrow and treat myself to a little Friday pick me up. I've already told all my friends and family they have to go here! If you ever stop by you better grab a doughnut!!

It was very muggy inside to the point that the floors were slippery and I had to be careful walking. The buffet itself was lacking. Many of the dishes had no labels and there were no gloves for the shared utensils. Also, they are using plastic plates for the buffet. I tried a little of everything and the fried items were cold and old. The vegetarian dishes were also lukewarm. The chicken biryani was cold and the rice was crunchy. The butter chicken was very sweet. To the point I didn't recognize it. Most of the food was sweet. They brought out one naan. That was very salty and I couldn't finish it. Overall everything tasted modified and not authentic. There was only one sauced item with meat and that was butter chicken. The only other protein option was tandoori chicken so you won't have any options if you don't care for chicken. There was one chick pea dish, a potato dish, an okra dish, a veggie stir fry and that was pretty much it for mains. Overall I think they would fare better expanding their buffet. I would have rather ordered off the main menu. The staff was attentive and friendly. It's not the same lively and homey place I remember and frequented often when they first opened. Will I go back? That's a real tough question. To order off the menu, I might. But then I remember the last few visits and second guess the possibility. I would not come back for the buffet. There's plenty of parking in a shared lot. Maybe a fall hazard for those with assistive devices or mobility issues. The floor is clean but the humidity caused it to be very slick.
