    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    I often enjoy getting a pastry and a coffee here. I had a not so good experience last time but…read morewanted to try again. I was never greeted. More customers came in. 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.

    I decided to stop for a bite to eat after a nearby appointment. I had never been to this location…read morebefore, and I found the drive through to be a bit tight and oddly laid out. I assume that is simply part of being located downtown where space is limited. The driveway and patio area could use a good sweeping, which would really help improve the overall appearance. Since I do not frequent Dunkin', I was not quite sure what to order. I simply asked for "something sweet to drink." When I noticed they had a breakfast combo that included a drink, I decided to go with that option. The employee on the intercom was incredibly helpful and patient while I figured things out. When I apologized for being new to the Dunkin' world, she genuinely smiled and assured me it was no problem. Her kindness and patience made such an impression that I asked if she would be willing to have her photo included in my review. She seemed pleasantly surprised and said that had never happened before, but she was happy to oblige. As I exited, the drive through leads straight through another parking lot, which felt a bit unusual. Again, I assume that is simply part of navigating a downtown location. The food was delicious and I enjoyed every bite. The new banana flavored iced coffee that Skyler recommended was absolutely perfect.

    The service is good, but the Bavarian donuts are half of the size!…read moreI don't know if this is the new size but I haven't had Dunkin donuts for years; I remember their donut sizes were twice as bigger than these!! I took the picture along with the other donuts for the reference!

    I go in here at three or four times a week because of the carrot muffins! everything I've ever had…read morein this place is good. It's freshly made! The cakes are phenomenal and the prices are more than fair this place has been in business for at least 20 years bc they sell great muffins , etc at a great price - I saw a comment where somebody was disappointed that they didn't warm something up for them(?) and I want to comment this place is not a restaurant- it's a bakery and they've usually got one or two people - you may have to wait ,but it's always worth it. They're not there to serve you, but to sell you the stuff . And yes, they're gonna be out of Muffins especially on a Saturday- Here is how to make a muffin perfect at home - if you have a Breville smart oven you put it on "warm "for 235° for 25 minutes.they taste fresh out of the oven every time. I always email (before 2 AM.)You can pick up your order the next day and it'll be in a box ready for you.- I seriously don't know what it would happen to me if this place ever closed because I'm so addicted to their carrot muffins and I have never tasted anything like them anywhere else! The morning glory , etc ( every muffin they have is amazing ) but if you haven't tried this place, you're missing out this one of my favorite places in Birmingham. (To compare them with Publix Muffins is laughable imho )
