    These heaven bites( donuts) are made right in front of you, so you know they're hot and mouth watering. When you walk in the door the service is attentive and ready to serve you. The smell of the place will have you wanting all they have.. good luck just ordering a few, trust me try them all.

    cinnamon sugar donuts & caramel iced coffee
    Azka A.

    As promised, we returned for the donuts! These were absolutely delicious little bites to snack on - the cinnamon sugar flavor with the vanilla creme on the side was just the perfect mix of spiced and sweet! They were freshly made right on front of us which is always a treat in of itself. Super warm and soft - would love to try more flavors! The coffee was a bit acidic for my tastes but it was a nice contrast from the donuts. The staff were all very nice & welcoming, was happy to be served there!!

    How adorable are these donuts?? Not just cute, but delicious! The service is very friendly and welcoming. Although they are little expensive, they are fresh and fun to share!

    Great customer service! Enjoyed my donuts. I love that your donuts are prepared fresh while you wait. Very clean place!

    Strawberry Sugared Donuts with Sons Sauce
    JJ C.

    Atmosphere: Sons Donuts is a bright, welcoming donut shop with seating available inside. You can watch your donuts being made at the island in the middle of the store. Service: It was not too busy when we went, and our donuts came out warm and quickly! Food: We ordered the Strawberry Sugared Donuts with Sons Sauce. The donuts were warm and crispy. The strawberry sugar was both tart and sweet and paired well with the Sons Sauce, which was a passion fruit and lemon curd sauce. Overall: Stop by Sons Donuts for a sugary treat if you're in the Mountain Brook area. Though a little pricey, we enjoyed the Strawberry Sugared Donuts and will come back to try other flavors in the future!

    My kids love watching the donut magic. Solid spot for breakfast or a snack. Warm and wonderful.

    Lemon elderflower donuts with a Cortada
    Erica P.

    How cute are these little elderflower lemon donuts with jam?! And a cortado on the side? Blissful sigh, too perfect! Makes me wish I was back in Birmingham for the afternoon. Friendly service, good lighting and clean tables. I like that and you will too. Treat yourself to a donut - or two!

    Heard people rave about Sons Donuts and decided to try it for myself today. Cute little storefront with inside and outside seatings. Employees are very nice and friendly. They make the mini donuts fresh after you order so it's best if you can eat them on the spot to get the full effect. We ordered a dozen at a little over a dollar each. For the flavors, we chose the salted caramel, the apple, and the strawberry. They were all pretty good. Their sauces are a highlight for sure. These mini donuts are cake textured, dipped in a kind of sugar mixture depending on what you order, and then topped with topping or sauce. Sons Donuts have some stiff competition here in Birmingham including Heavenly Donuts, Hero, etc. While I don't personally love these more than other full-sized donuts, it was fun to try for sure.

    Had this one bookmarked and decided to check them out on a day off. The mini donuts were a great addition to a gift I put together. I went with The Carter (strawberry sugared) and the Glazed, classic vanilla. Although part of a gift I did keep a few for myself and they were enjoyable treats. Definitely not stingy on the sugar or the glaze. I sent an email with an observation/suggestion. I received a detailed response and look forward to seeing it implemented on my next visit. Please stop by this neat place with exceptional customer service!!!

    Went there to check out a local donut shop and the donuts are tasty. We tried two flavors and both were good. These are mini donuts. 4 minis per flavor. They do make them when you order them and if you pay attention you can see they produce them. Nice experience.

    The Carter on the left and The Fisher on the right!
    Jada C.

    Cute new place located right next door to Big Spoon Creamery. I enjoyed their unique twist on donuts! I thought that the dipping sauce they add would come on the side but they don't ask if you'd like it on the side but instead just drizzle it on top. This took away for me but it was still pretty good. I tried the Fisher which is a cinnamon donut with vanilla bean cream on top and I also tried the carter which is a strawberry sugared donut with "sons" sauce, a sweet caramel looking sauce but I'm not sure the exact flavor. The donut shop also has inside seating and looked like they had their own brand of beverages. It's worth a try.

    Too expensive, too small. and the so called glaze leaves a lot to be desired. Not very friendly or outgoing in customer service.

    What a charming bakery/coffee shop in a super cute almost European nook in town. If you're…read morevisiting, I definitely recommend taking a drive to this area. Progressive area - Seems to be... There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door. The bakery items were very fresh and tasty. I loved the Swedish gingerbread cookies - light and crisp. The lemon bar was delicious. They also have sandwiches that liked really good. Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

The young girl making the coffee was loudly talking about someone who messed up their coffee order this morning and how frustrated she was. The only other employee was occupied with what seemed a large order of bread etc. When she finished what she was doing she looked at the now five customers, claustrophobically waiting, and said I'll be right back and disappeared. Leaving the one guy serving the one customer. It was 11:30 am on a rainy day. Figured I could do without a cream cheese croissant and coffee and left. Had already waited 5 as the only other person in there and did not want to wait another undetermined amount of time. I know one of the bakers. It's a shame the front has been so bad these last two times.

This was the spot we would all come to to do homework. It's still got that same warmth and charm. I came in on a Wednesday morning to sit and do some work. I ordered a cappuccino, bran muffin, and a breakup cookie to take home. The cappuccino is just as expected. Served at the perfect temp, great flavor. The bran muffin, which was my attempt to be healthy, was really a delicious stand-out. I would definitely get that again. And, of course, the breakup cookies are some of the best cookies in town. They bake all of the baked goods in-house, I believe, which gets a round of applause from me. A lot of the recipes are still the same ones I remember from 7 years ago. One thing I noticed that's even BETTER than I remember was the books and gift selection. A lot of the books caught my eye. It's a great curation of fiction, non, memoirs, birding books, children's, etc. They also carry the Village Apothecary candles, which are made locally and have some packaging I really love. Church Street is one of the Birmingham staples. I hope they're open for a million more years. They do what they do exceptionally well.

Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business.
