    My grandpa Frank LOVED this spot. He passed away last year in August and haven't mustered up the courage to go back. Today I did. Let me tell you why this place deserves more than 5 stars. This establishment has the most friendliest people. Everytime Frank came in they treated him so kindly. They threw in extra donuts and that made his week! During Covid they would take them to his car door when he would pull up. Service is #1 for them and he had to have his weekly pickup. The donuts ARE fresh and yummy. No staleness at all here! The sandwhiches are also elite. The ambiance is a clean, very simple building. Nothing fancy but what makes up the personality is the people of this place. Eating a donut in memory of my grandpa Frank today!

    Located next door to a gas station. What a gem. They feature raised donuts. The jelly donuts, Bismarck's, were on point. Pink icing with sprinkles were delectable.

    Can I just scream WOW!!? We made a quick stop to grab some donuts to go. When I say the service is fast, it's fast! We were in and out within 4 mins. As soon as you open the door you can smell the donuts. The gentleman handling the register was very patient as my kids picked out which donut they wanted. I got the maple bacon donut. It was moist, fresh and so fluffy. Ray's donut #2 is far for me but will definitely be the only place I'll be getting donuts whenever I'm in the area.

    Assorted dozen !

    I cannot describe how good these donuts are... I always make sure to grab a dozen every week for me and my family to indulge on. The owners and their kids are extremely friendly and kind as well. Overall great donuts and great service !

    3 key words describe this place: QUALITY, VALUE, DELICIOUS. Family owned business and a true hidden gem in Buford, Georgia! Their donuts are made fresh each morning. They get super busy during Friday-Sunday so sometimes there can be delays but Ray's Donuts are worth it! Assorted donuts and half dozen donuts are half the price when compared to Krispy Kreme and Dunkin. If you want a wide selection of donuts, get there before 9am especially on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. ATTENTION*** They sell out quick and will have limited options so get there early!

    Delicious! I've been in GA almost 5 years now and had NO idea that there was a Lamar's donuts. I'm from Kansas City, MO and we love Lamar's. Haha. Donuts were soft and delicious. I didn't care much for the sugar donut, but the others were delicious!!

    This Is A Sausage Egg Potatoe & Cheese Burrito

    The Best Donut Shop In Town Where You Can Choose From A Variety Of Breakfast Burritos Donuts Etc.. Food Is Fresh Amazing Sweet Owner Clean Nice Atmosphere Don't Take My Word For It Come Swing By Yourself I Promise You Will Not Be Disappointed

    A side view of the building with the menu posted on wall. It shares a parking lot with the EXXON station

    Basic to say the least. Your typical hole in the wall donut spot where everyone in the neighbourhood flocks because of location. It took me a minute to figure out their exact location because they share they property with an Exxon gas station. The signs on their side of the building were old and out of date. The photo i posted shows them with white masking tape blocking the old donut prices (lol). I personally thought this was distasteful from a business point of view. This did not stop their doors from swinging in on the right and out on the left. I waited a few more moments to see what the constant patronage was all about from my vehicle. It was just before lunch time and i was certain the selection was limited close to "none". As i walked in i don't recall an area for seating. From the looks of it everyone who made a purchase went right back in their car and used it as a dining room. As i walked in there was a very kind woman behind the counter that offered me help. I purchased a glazed donut and a plain doughnut with chocolate icing, grabbed napkins and proceeded back to my car. I had about a 45 minute drive until i reached my destination so i had managed to try one while driving. It was ok as i mentioned before. Basic donut spot with basic flavours Rays appears to be the only spot out this far that comes highly recommended. It did not impress me as much. I will continue my quest for the perfect donut as i reach out to areas that are new to me. Until then, happy yelping #relaxyourdonut

    This place was highly rated and recommended by others so I was truly disappointed when I came. We came at 8:30am and quit a bit of donuts were gone and they are definitely not fresh. It's sad when I feel like Dukin Donuts or Krispy Kreme would of been better. I didn't even finish these donuts because they weren't worth the calories. They are small and taste like old oil that needs to be changed. The coffee is super weak. The customer service was the only thing good and the fact that I only wasted $8. If you want real donuts and support small businesses go to Sweet Apple off a McGinnis Ferry or Sarah's.

    Great donuts! Not gourmet donuts but just very good, fresh traditional donuts. My personal favorites are the glazed twist!

    Love the vibe! Affordable prices and excellent customer service. Got the ham and cheese croissant…read moreand it was delicious. The flaky ham and cheese croissant was warmed for me. Yummy! Coffee was good too.

    I forgot to take a photo of the full order. Shame on me, because it looked like a pastry runway…read moreshow. I've also had PB bookmarked for quite sometime...so I blame my eagerness for the failed group runway photos. Lol I placed my order at 5 AM for an 8:15/8:30 AM pickup, and they still managed to pack everything like they were preparing it for royalty. Let mama break it down for you! Berry Tart: This tart walked in looking like it pays rent. Gorgeous, glossy, and so pretty I almost apologized before cutting into it. Clients loved it. My kids loved it. Strawberry Soft Cream Cake Slice: My 2‑year‑old (CEO of Strawberry Obsessed Galore) approved immediately. Every layer had actual thick strawberry pieces, not those sad little bits that makes you wonder if there were even strawberries in here or just mushed up pieces... Sweet, creamy, NOT overly weak and a total show‑off. We devoured it. Fruit Pastry & Raspberry Fruit Bite: Flaky pastry + custard + fruit = the holy trinity. These two didn't miss. They understood the assignment and executed flawlessly. Curry & Crab Croquette: I'm team CRAB croquette. It was loaded, crispy, and basically winked at me. My colleague, however, acted like the curry croquette was a spiritual experience. Pretty sure his eyes rolled to the back of his head..HAH. Both are winners! Pepperoni Pizzetta: My 4‑year‑old took one bite and immediately rejected Papa John's. That's the entire review. Case closed. Iced Sweet Green Tea: This one... was not it. It tasted like coffee that borrowed someone else's filter. We'll just leave it at that. Now, let's talk service: They open at 7 AM, and somehow had my entire order made, warmed, packed, organized, and ready in just over an hour..while other customers were inside, AND they helped me load everything into my car. My short notice didn't even make them blink.

    Joy Donuts near Suwanee, GA…read more The cutest hidden gem donut shop and they make their donuts fresh from scratch every day! Is a small family owned business too, they don't speak English very well but super nice and sweet ! They open around 5:30-6:00 AM, and many of their most popular items sell out fast. If you're planning to visit, definitely go early! My favorites: Cronut (MUST ORDER ) My absolute favorite item here. It has the flaky, airy layers of a croissant with the soft texture of a donut. Buttery, light, and not overly sweet. If you're only getting one thing, make it this! Spinach Danish (Recommend ) A buttery, flaky pastry filled with a creamy spinach filling. Savory, flavorful, and freshly baked daily. Jalapeño Pig in a Blanket The jalapeño version was my favorite. Soft, buttery bread wrapped around a juicy sausage with just the right amount of heat. Cinnamon Rolls One of their most popular bakery items. Soft, fluffy, and loaded with cinnamon flavor. Custom Donuts They also make adorable custom donuts for birthdays, baby showers, graduations, and special events. Be sure to check out their wall of custom designs

    It smelt lovely walking into this establishment. I wanted to take my son to get a morning treat…read morebefore school. The ladies greeted us immediately and was able to assist me with my donut selection. My son got the Spider-Man donut and he loved it. I also got two reg glazed donuts that were very soft and yummy. I'll try not to make this a morning thing lol
