    Birthday cake and cherry cake donuts
    Cristina B.

    What a solid place to grab some delicious treats! I was told to stop here about a year ago from a friend who told me I would love their birthday cake donut (I love anything birthday cake flavored.) I drive by here almost weekly and finally ... One year later, I stopped it. I get really anxious in new places, especially places with a lot of patrons. The fact that the line is constantly out the door is daunting because I wasn't sure of how the line works. Truth js, there isn't really a good system in place here and that's just what works for DC. I got overwhelmed and just ordered a half dozen of birthday cake and cherry cake donuts. There were absolutely delicious. Stukk fluffy and flavorful a few days later. Next time I'll take my time looking at options but these were solid picks! There is a 3.99% charge for using card, so bring cash if that's easier for you. I will be back! Some of the best donuts I've ever had!

    Best donuts ever! The pastries remain fresh and fluffy for days. These are better than Dun'k or Kristy Kremes.

    BEST DONUT shop in town - not even close! The now accept cards for a fee, 2.99 percent, which is understandable from a historically cash venue. The flavor, the service, the spot is so perfect! It's a must try! Warning: get there early for the most choices or be sad when your donut choice is picked over by other patrons. Enjoy the great taste! You won't be disappointed!

    This is a no-frill donut shop you need if you're a sweet tooth or donut fan. Even if you're not, I'd recommend trying anyway, as long as you're not allergic to sweets. They're open at like 4 AM, only until around 3 PM. I went on Friday morning, around 8 AM-ish, and it was perfect. Just the perfect morning rush feel. It was busy but not wild. Their flavors are more old-fashioned, not the crazy Florida or NY kind (if you know what I mean). I mean, crazy new flavor inventions are good, but sometimes you miss the homey old-school donuts, no? I do. I initially planned to try only the apple fritter because everyone seems to be raving about them, and I also love apple fritter. However, upon visiting, I couldn't help but get a donut as well. I had the Samoa flavor. The donut felt more cakey than yeasty, but it was very moist and light. I gave it an 8/10. It was absolutely delicious but similar to other good donut shops I've tried. I still enjoyed it, though. Then I moved on to the apple fritter. This one was one heck of a surprise. By the way, the apple fritter is as big as my face. I thought I'd had an apple fritter, but I've never had one like The Donut Cutter. It's SO unexpectedly crispy on the outside while maintaining a fluffy inside. I never thought apple fritter could be actually, deliciously crispy. It was super sweet, though. Honestly, I struggled to finish it because I was already sugar overloaded from the Samoa donut before. However, after I was finished (feeling a bit nauseous from the sugar), 2 hours later, I thought of the apple fritter again. That's how I know these apple fritters are no joke. Service is fast. Cash is preferable. They take cards but charge 3-4% extra. There are signs all over the shops noting that, and they still confirmed with me when I handed them my card. Appreciate the courtesy!

    Came by at 7am and was pleasantly surprised to see this place super lively and packed. I never go into any type of shop and see so many people so excited to dive into the options. It makes the experience so much more friendly and whole. There were so many freshly made options to choose from. It helped that the staff made some recommendations and pointed me into the right direction. The red velvet, maple, and samoa donuts were all fantastic. I came back within the next few days, because I just had to try some more.

    Our friends who hosted us this weekend told us these were the best donuts in Detroit and we were so happy to experience them. Every donut we tried was fresh and melted in your mouth. My personal favorites were the cream filled and the Apple fritters. If you are a fan of Apple fritters, then this is the place for you. Wow. Just wow.

    The best--by far--cinnamon roll in the entire metro region. I drive 45 minutes just to by a half dozen.

    My favorite donut shop in the area and they're open on Sunday! Very friendly staff and they have…read moreunique donut offerings (try the crème brûlée!)

    I decided to try out this place again since it looks like it's under new ownership, recently?…read more I did come here several years ago and got a variety of donuts. The usual custard with the chocolate frosted top. Almost want try, now that they offer paczki, while available. The first attempt to get donuts was to get some paczki for Fat Tuesday a few months ago, but the box of dozen wasn't much of a savings than buying them individually. Was only $2 save for a box of dozen. Individual paczki $3.50, a dozen for $40. :/ Today I decided to grab a half dozen for our staff at the store. I got a glazed donut, apple fritters, custard with chocolate frosting, cinnamon roll, red velvet and a sour cream donut. Half dozen was $12, that's $2 a donut. Oh my. The apple fritter and the cinnamon roll donuts are rather big, that usually worries me, big donuts doesn't always mean it's better. The apple fritter was crunchy and textured, not mock apples and a lot of dough bumps, which isn't a bad thing. The cinnamon roll was big and billowy, got a big of the cinnamon flavor in the bullseye, but not much hint through the rest of the donut. The sour cream donut wasn't bad, it's not as sour cream or buttermilk flavored as I was hoping. The red velvet and glazed were decent. The custard chocolate was disappointing to me, the custard wasn't as good as I had hoped at all and rather sparse too. All of the donuts are light and fluffy as far as the dough, it's not bad.

    Came here for a half dozen mochinuts for work. I had never been here before but have been driving…read moreby and wanted to give them a try. They share a store front with a pizza place. Service was super friendly and patient, allowing me to take my time to pick out what I wanted. It's hard to decide with the selection they have. It's a very clean and updated decor, to go only. They also have soft serve which I will go back to try one day. If you like mochi dough donuts, or haven't tried, you should. Some other of the "French" bakeries carry them now too.

    Not much to say about Mochinut. Definitely the most decorative, pretentious donut shop in the area…read more The best? ABSOLUTELY not. The vibes overpower the game. I would much rather come here to checkout its collection of Japanese imported ramen packages on display, and I would also get some of their delicious boba. Other than that? Not much I could add. Grab a pizza from Crispelli's down the line, and then grab a freshly refrigerated Blossom Boba Tea on the way back. Great combo, and to me, that's the only thing this place serves to me. The donuts are insulso, period. Supported by only a good concept and sheer will for a fan base out in the real world. I like the idea of tearing apart bite sized Tim-bit-like balls, total reimagining of what a donut could be. I think it's cute; but does it serve me well? Not me, or my partner agrees. I don't hate it though. (3/5)
