This was our first time trying Sourdough donuts. The place isn't too big, but it was packed the entire time we were there. They offer a wide range of donut flavors, cold and warm focaccia sandwiches, and coffee. The interiors were cute with the donut display being the focus point, and rightly so. There's also a window where you can see the staff measuring out and mixing ingredients. The taste of everything we ordered was delicious. The donuts were super soft and not too sweet (even with the icings and toppings). And the salmon lox sandwich was super fresh and tasty too. Definitely a must visit for anyone in the area. read more

We got 4 donuts. That's all we wanted. The lady who served us was really cold. As we were checking out, we asked if the cinnamon rolls on display were all they had. We didn't say we wanted one but she charged us for one anyway. We had no idea, she didn't clarify our receipt with us, she didn't communicate much at all. As we were getting in the car, extremely disappointed and upset with the service from this establishment, she ran out to give us a cinnamon roll. She said we had forgotten but we didn't even ask to order one. I thought she was coming out to apologize for her attitude. Clearly confused, instead of explaining to us that she thought we had ordered a cinnamon roll, she just extended her arm inside the car and put the box of on the dash of my car, then went back inside without a word. She could've easily remedied the situation by simply saying, "Sorry, I didn't know you didn't want a cinnamon roll." I would've let everything go right there. Instead, she just stared at us as my sister and I were clearly perplexed by what was going on. An apology could've gone a long way and I wouldn't have felt compelled to write a review. The donuts were genuinely not bad at all but the service left such a bad taste in my mouth I can't quite cleanse. read more

An incredible addition vying for a spot amongst the best donuts in the area. Gonna start with what's important, and that is the donut. Their flavor options are nicely varied with something for everybody, featuring various gourmet options while not going over the top. I appreciated the combination of including classic flavors alongside more exotic ones featuring things like fresh fruit, banana pudding, creme brûlée, Dubai chocolate, and even some more seasonal ones. The donuts themselves are large, and that is coming from somebody who never stops at one, these made me question by resolve (don't worry, I did not break but the thought did cross my mind). The dough was fantastic, well flavored, and the texture was great. While they were not quite as light as my personal preference, it was not that they were dense, they even exhibited that characteristic of good yeast donuts where they squish down easy, and these even easily sprang back up, they were just a tad too "bready" in my opinion. Overall, pretty great donuts that even held up to time, though they are even better ever so slightly warmed up depending on which option you got. The shop itself is nice, fairly standard but clean, modern interior with decent decor and a large display featuring all their donuts. The service was friendly and prompt. One thing I was not a fan of though was their packaging, they put 4 in a sort of takeout box, on their sides though. Yes there are small parchment paper sheets in between but it is still messy, they rub up against each other, get slightly squished, toppings get displaced, it's not too good for transport. Never seen another donut shop do it this way, I feel like donut packaging is fairly standard so why are we reinventing the wheel here. If anything it feels akin to sloppy over the top milkshakes that were trending for a bit, they might be photogenic for a post to lust over, but are not practical at all, as soon as you take the photo and close the lid, the damage is done. Now comes the kicker for me. The pricing. Absolutely absurd for donuts. I understand they are gourmet, I understand they are fresh, I get it all. A donut should not be up to $6 for some (they range from $3 to $6), and a dozen being up to over $70 is lunacy. Even if you get a dozen of their cheapest donuts, just the most basic standard glazed, $36 before tax, that makes absolutely no sense. The only reason I even got myself to get some was due to the storm they had a paper on teh door stating a "rainy day deal" of 12 for $24 of any kind. But honestly, unless I get a similar deal or just suddenly have a craving for something specific, I do not see myself returning in normal circumstances due to this. read more

Tepuy Donuts is a shop in Raleigh that specializes in sourdough donuts. We tried 4 different flavors. - The hibiscus donut had a fruity glaze that combined sweetness with tartness and was a beautiful purple color, though I'm not sure I could distinguish that it was specifically hibiscus. If you like a fruit/tart combo, go for this one! - The Dubai chocolate donut came with a chocolate glaze and was filled with a pistachio cream. This one was my favorite - the cream had a nutty/roasted pistachio flavor which balanced the donut nicely. - The chocolate peppermint donut had a chocolate glaze and crushed candy cane sprinkled on top and looked super festive. A great flavor combo as well. - The lemon pistachio donut had some bright acidity/tartness from the lemon but not super strong. The crushed pistachios added a nice crunchy texture. Overall, some of the donuts fell on the slightly drier/breadier side for my taste but I appreciated that they were not overly sweet. I would go back to try more of their filled donuts now that I know that the fillings don't seem to be too sugary. Each donut is large and they have a range of flavors to choose from. Service was quick and there is a large parking lot. Seating inside is very limited so would plan to grab and go! read more

Fat, juicy, and fresh donuts here. Tried a handful like the lemon pistachio, traditional glazed, fruit pebbles, and Boston crème. While all were delicious, I personally liked the simple glazed one the best. Second was the lemon pistachio. Throwing these in the microwave for 10ish seconds took them to the next level. My go-to donut spot from now on if I wanna venture beyond the chain donut places read more

Honestly for all the hype I thought they'd be way better...they weren't a bad donut but weren't that good....the flavors were just okay, some were overly sweet and some lacked flavor and the apple fritter didn't have apple throughout. Overall, especially for the price I wouldn't go back. read more

If you love donuts this is a place you need to try, their donuts are pretty good, they have a variety so there's something for everyone. They are little pricey than your normal donuts but they are big as well. Very small place but they have some space if you wish to eat inside. Service was good as well. read more

Stopped in for lunch this time and I was not disappointed. The BLT was spot on. I could have used a little more bacon but that's only because it was so tasty! The garlic aioli was a perfect replacement to the usual mayo on BLTs, and the brioche bread was toasted nicely. Definitely eat it warm! read more

I stopped in again while on Capital Blvd and they are still my favorite sourdough donuts! I discovered them at Idle Hour cafe and then also saw that Daily Beer serves them on Sundays in Durham. The newest spot is a farmer's market in knight dale at oak city brewing. The capital market location is always clean and has such a variety. The staff is extremely friendly and I love getting my dose of delicious donuts when in the area. read more

I saw an ad on social media for Tepuy Doughnuts and am so glad I did! They had a fun variety of donut flavors and they all looked amazing. We tried 3- the Berries and Cream donut, Lemon Pistachio donut, and Chocolate Candy Cane donut. All three were large enough to share and SO fluffy! They had a great density, very soft, and fantastic flavors. Each of them had bold flavor without being overly sweet or overwhelming. There was a good amount of glaze and toppings and you could tell great care went into their preparation. The staff was incredibly friendly and kind, very helpful and patient with my questions as a first time customer. I can be pretty picky about my donuts, and I would absolutely recommend Tepuy if you're in the Raleigh area. read more

Stopped in to try this place out. I've passed by for weeks and decided why not. To start, the donuts are HUGE! You can literally share one. They have the most unique flavors: sweet potato, s'mores, & pumpkin latte. I went with your typical plain glazed doughnut . Although big, it was so fluffy and decadent! Definitely try this place out. I would definitely try the dozen special and bring it to friends giving or a holiday party. It will be a show stopper for sure with presentation and taste. read more

Tepuy Donuts is located in the Brentwood part of Raleigh. It is easy to get to from Capital Blvd/ 401and has plenty of parking. I had seen the sign near the road when driving home from Downtown Raleigh so it peaked my curiosity. So I was excited when we had a Yelp event there. When I arrived, I saw a large variety of unlabeled donuts that looked good but wasn't sure what was what. For the event, I was to get a coffee and two donuts. I assumed that would be a separate transaction as I decided to buy some extras. When I saw the online receipt, I saw that the lowest priced donuts were given for the freebie rather than the one that I had ordered for the event as the freebie. I thought that was a bad business practice as I had declined the coffee and was spending extra at the business and got shortchanged as the idea was to get repeat business. I didn't realize the donuts had different prices at the time or were so expensive at $3 to $5. The toppings on them are good and they were trying to be creative but the dough/topping ratio is off and they are very chewy and dry. I expected a sourdough donut to be light and fluffy. I didn't like these. The cinnamon sugar was ok but the rest I tried were not for me. I'm not sure if their was a bad batch the day I was there but I wouldn't want another. read more

Overall: A really cool place for donuts, I would definitely stop by at least once to see what they are about. Food: The donuts here were very unique; a lot of them were flavors that I had never tried before. It's similar to duck donuts, but I would say less oily. The flavors that stood out to me were the creme brulee and Dubai chocolate. I've never had Dubai chocolate before; it had a very dark and nutty flavor. The creme brulee donut was just very interesting as a concept; a hard outer shell on the donut gave it a really interesting texture. Service: The service was great! They do their best to help get you in and out of the line as quickly as possible. If you are just ordering donuts, it shouldn't take too long. If you get a coffee or other breakfast items, it may take a bit longer for them to make them in the back. Ambiance: There is some window seating, but I would say not really enough to sit down with a group. If you are coming by yourself, it will be ok, but otherwise, I would order to-go. read more

My mom went by one afternoon for a crème brûlée doughnut but they were sold out. They suggested that she place an order online for pickup. The following week I did that, for a 10:00 pickup. I arrived at 10:20 and the line was out the door. Ts a very small place, one large bar table against the wall, like a high top. There were a couple people sitting and standing eating. I waited in line behind five people, with two people working up front. One taking orders and one filling the orders. I feel it would have been more productive to ask if anyone has a pick up order, since you pay online and they can hand you your order as opposed to reaching the cashier and informing them that I have a pick up and I still had to wait for them to fill it. Not sure the purpose of telling the a pick up time and still having to wait for them to make the order. It was a Sunday morning so I don't know if that played into the slowness. We had three crème brûlée, one strawberry matcha, one vanilla doughnut and pistachio doughnut . They were all delicious! read more

Been driving past the now open signs on Capital Blvd since they opened this doughnut shop recently in the old Brentwood shopping center. Finally stopped on my way into work one morning this week. It's very small inside, but didn't matter to me, cause I was getting to-go. There was a very nice-looking selection of doughnuts to choose from. Ended up with 8 total (for around $32 before tip). Let me just say that the Lemon Pistachio is worthy of the 5 stars alone. Those of us that ate it agree it was the best of the selection. And could just be the best doughnut either of us have ever had. Also tried a cinnamon one (least thrilling of the bunch, but still good), salted caramel (good), maple bacon (really good), and creme brulee (crackle on top and loaded with cream). None of them were overly sweet, which was nice. Don't know that I've had a sourdough doughnut before, but I'll definitely be having more. Especially that Lemon Pistachio. Note: they do do doughnut holes, but you have to special order them. Driving tip: If you're heading into downtown Raleigh from the North, this shopping center is on the left, and you might think it'll take too long to get in and out, but it's surprisingly fast. Just turn left on Brentwood Road, right into the strip center, right again, and it's on your left, facing Capital Blvd. read more

Visited Tepuy on a Sat morning. The staff was friendly but there was a wait. The doughnuts themselves were good but I did leave feeling disappointed as majority of the options were pretty much the same with a different glaze that didn't have much flavor. The exception being the two filled doughnuts. These were much better and provided more variety. We also tried a Philly cheese kolache. I wish it had more filling. read more

Finally made my way to Tepuy & it didn't disappoint! This is a cute little shop with limited seating inside but does have some outdoor tables. The donuts...These are decadent giant donuts, y'all!!!....& worth every calorie!! They had so many flavors that made it hard to choose. I bought 4 - crème brûlée, Boston cream, Nutella & churro. Together, the 4 donuts weighed at least 2 pounds & were stuffed full with filling!! The server was very helpful in explaining each one & helping with the selections. Highly recommend if you want to indulge yourself or make an impression treating someone! read more

Yum, so many giant donuts to choose from plus tea, coffee, house-made syrups, sandwiches, and more! I do wish they were labelled to make ordering easier. We each chose several flavors and then shared them. The flavors are hit and miss. Seems like the filled donuts are the better option. The unfilled ones were more likely to be dry with less flavor. The donuts have the same sourdough base so the flavor comes from the toppings and fillings. The base was still good with ideal chewy texture and perfect mass to volume ratio. Pair your donut with coffee or tea and be sure to try one of their house-made syrups. They make an excellent matcha latte and cardamom orange syrup. Hits: creme brûlée (complete with a hardened caramel topping), banana pudding, coconut caramel, strawberry, Irish coffee, and s'mores. Misses: lemon poppy seed and pistachio. Overall, good place for a sourdough donut. They have a parking lot and a large sign to avoid missing the turn. I'm interested in returning to try their lunch options (sandwiches on focaccia). read more

Ambiance: It's a bright and cute cafe. It's small but does have outdoor seating! So we were able to enjoy our donuts with our pup by our side! Service: wonderful people. They were nice and helped navigate the different donuts! Food: okay, if you've ever had malasada before they are top notch fluffy donuts and I use that to compare all donut cafes. AND let me tell you! These donuts here at Tupy are TOP NOTCH! They are soft, fluffy, light chew, bouncy, and NONE of them were overly sweet! They were soft and yummy! We got the cherry or raspberry donut with sprinkles. It was sweet and tart. Very good. The Lemon Pistachio donut was another good one! Tart lemon flavor with sweet glaze and crunchy savory pistachios! We also got the cold brew with oat milk and vanilla shot. It was good, but not a rave like the donuts. The other donuts we got were the: Dubai, it's JAM PACKED with pistachio cream, topped with chocolate and pistachios. My ultimate favorite thus far. The second we got to take home was the cinnamon sugar. It was fluffy, sweet, soft, perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar too. Reminiscent of a churro. Overall: Highly recommended! Would definitely come again! read more

I am in the quest for the best donut and stopped in for a classic Boston creme. The only reason this was not a 5 star was the donut was too big. That's right, never thought those words would cone out of my mouth. I was wanting a fork and knife to eat it. True it cost over $4 so the size was understandably large. They had a nice selection of flavors, ample parking, and efficient service. Just off 440 on capital so easy to get too. read more

Walked in and bought half a dozen. Sweet staff. I ordered 2 orginal, peanuts work chocolate, hibiscus flavor, and Nutella...oh and salted caramel. They were pretty good except for the Nutella. Literally was just thick bread with way too much processed chocolate. Not good. The donuts are very large but the dough for the rest were pretty light, nice layers in the dough. But maybe too doughy... gonna try again. Just keep in mind they are large so a little more pricey read more

Every time I drive into Raleigh or to the grocery store, I drive past all the signs for Tepuy donuts on Capital. I'd heard about their delicious handmade sourdough brioche donuts. So, I figured Valentine's Day morning would be the perfect time to try out these beauties. Because of the holiday, they were out of a fair amount of flavors when I was there (though they were cooking them up in the back!), but the service was phenomenal. I opted for 4 flavors (though I wanted to try them all). The chocolate glazed was classically delicious and came out warm. The s'mores donut was listed under stuffed donuts, though it didn't seem stuffed. Nonetheless, it was tasty - tasted like the chocolate glazed but with a toasted marshmallow. The crème brûlée donut was a standout - the exterior was perfectly crispy and the inside was packed with crème filling, which was fluffy and not overly sweet. Lastly, the nutella donut, which was just coming out from being cooked and coated in powdered sugar, was phenomenal - not surprising though as I am a sucker for nutella. I wish there had been a bit more nutella stuffing, but I could just be biased because I'm obsessed with nutella. What a great place for locally handmade donuts and fun flavors. I will definitely be back to try the lemon poppyseed and hibiscus and banana pudding donuts, the huge cinnamon rolls, and their lunch options!

I came with a bunch of people and tried: + l'italiano sandwich + Caprese sandwich + Alfajor + Caramel pecan + lemon pistachio + apple fritter + Boston cream + Cinnamon sugar The Caprese was the best of the two sandwiches, and my favorite doughnut was the cinnamon sugar. Caramel pecan and lemon pistachio were also delicious! read more

Today we spent $46.99, including tip, on a lemon pistachio donut, a cinnamon roll, "The Mortal" sandwich, and the daily special, a French dip sandwich. Originally, we were drawn here for the donuts and were pleasantly surprised to find an expansive menu of savory options as well. The donuts are the clear star of the show, exceptional in flavor and texture. The cinnamon roll was also excellent, though I personally would have liked a bit more cinnamon. Overall, the savory side feels like a work in progress. If not for the donuts, I would have rated the place 3 stars. So far, we've visited Tepuy three times. On two of those visits, we ordered sandwiches, and the experience has been mixed. The sandwiches are made with fresh focaccia bread, which is excellent. However, the kitchen is slow, expect to wait at least 20 minutes for food. On our most recent visit, one sandwich took 45 minutes. After waiting half an hour, we checked in and were told it would be out shortly. Fifteen minutes later, it still hadn't arrived, so we took it to go. We received a brief apology at the end, but no real explanation or gesture to make up for the long delay. The sandwich we took home, a roast beef with caramelized onions, was disappointing. The roast beef was dry, and the onions were not truly caramelized; instead they were simply cooked and then sugar was added to compensate for the lack of carmelization. Also It lacked salt, leaving the sandwich tasting overly sweet without salt to balance out the flavor. In fact, every sandwich we've tried so far has had at least one glaring issue. Without the excellent focaccia bread, they would be a clear miss. Priced between $13 and $14 with no sides, the sandwiches simply don't deliver. A final note: the shop offers only bar seating inside and limited outdoor seating that faces Capital Blvd and its busy parking lot. read more

I'd had Tepuy's donuts when they were bringing them to a coffee shop in Raleigh so I was THRILLED when they opened their storefront. I'm not typically a crème filled donut gal but crème brûlée is my favorite dessert so I decided to give their version a try. As well as grabbing my tried and true - chocolate icing with sprinkles. The sourdough donut is so thick and fluffy! Where other donuts melt in your mouth, these feel hearty in a way. The crème brûlée was exactly like what you would expect with the hard sugar outer shell. I'm still not a crème filled donut fan but I did enjoy this one. And of course I gobbled down the chocolate icing with sprinkles with reckless abandon. I ordered ahead and picked up but when I went in they looked like they had baked a lot, so I think you're safe either calling ahead or going in and grabbing. read more

"Scrummy" donuts. Strawberry, Salted Caramel, and Boston Cream were our choices today and they were all so very good. About 15 different flavors to choose from including Dubai Chocolate (!!). Donuts were huge...one of our group could not finish it. Servers were friendly and helpful as we were first timers. Small store and not much seating but you can watch them make the donuts thru the windows into the kitchen : ). Coffee was not spectacular but I prefer milk with my donuts anyway.

Had a great experience at Tepuy. There were about 10 people in line at 11am and it went fast. I ordered the Nutella doughnut & hibiscus glazed. Both sourdough doughnuts were fluffy and delicious. The drip coffee was tasty and hot. Don't skip the sandwiches. The Italiano on their focaccia bread was a sweet and savory treat with caponata and a plethora of Italian meats. My husband and the ham and cheese which was elevated with butter and Swiss. Both were delightful and I would definitely return. The service was fast and pleasant.

Visited this spot after church one Sunday. They had a great variety of doughnuts and some adventurous flavors. I tried the pistachio, chocolate orange and vanilla lavender. All were delicious. I'm from the north so I like denser doughnuts. These were a good mix between dense and light. Perfect. Definitely a guilty pleasure. The Doughnuts were a good size. I couldn't eat any of them in one sitting because they were big and sweet. Service was good and it was reasonably priced. It's small with no indoor seating, but there are some tables outside. You won't be disappointed. I would definitely return to the more flavors. read more
