Can you say YUM!!!
Jim M.

First words of advice... call in an order first thing to guarantee you get the goods, or make sure you get here well before noon as they sell out fast!!! I had to go back the Bill Smith to have a hitch put on so the wife called in the order. We had been here once before but all doughnuts were sold out. As you see the wife went a little bit overboard as there is only 3 in out house hold lol.. so we got to share these with a neighbor that had 5 in their family lol. I will say their jelly doughnuts are done way different as you can see. These were delicious and explains why they sell out fast.. Great local doughnut shop and well worth the drive!!

Great donuts i was looking for some all week and i found this bakery close. the service was quick and the prices were fair. the bakery is also very cool you can see them making the donuts in the back which is very cool. I would recommend for anyone looking for breakfast food.

A gem in Cullman for baked goods and donuts. Fresh donuts, cupcakes, cakes a selection of coffee drinks. You can run into a line or some days when when it gets busy they'll have a limited selection but that's with any small bakery really. If you want the good stuff get up there early! Also can't believe someone reviewed this place and said it was expensive?!? Really? For the quality and service this place is very very reasonable.

My favorite donut place! Just had to stop in and grab some while back visiting my home town. The new owners are carrying on the tradition of the famous recipe. The donuts are the best! Better come early or call in to get them to save you some. They sell out quick!

Apple was my fav.

See all

I was looking for a great doughnut and I'm not from Alabama so when someone had asked if I liked Duchess I told her I never had it.

Cullman is sort of known for baked goods so I wanted to stop and get a few pastries before we…read moreheaded home. This place had good reviews and was next door to a coffee shop, so double win! Very cute little bakery inside. Nice places to sit, cute old timey knickknacks and baking relics -- my mom got a huge kick out of the old KitchenAid mixers. Even though it was later in the afternoon, they had a decent selection of desserts. A friendly employee greeted us immediately and was helpful with checkout and bagging. I chose a smaller orange roll based on the recommendation of lots of reviewers, as well as something a bit more unique to me: a sweet potato and pecan muffin. Somewhat unusual combination that sounded super good! I split my treats with husband later that evening. The orange roll was solid -- the soft and yeasty roll was the best part -- though for me the orange glaze was a little too sweet. That's how I usually feel about orange rolls though so if you really love them you'll probably like this one! The muffin remained remarkably moist and the pecans were so nice and toasty on top. It was very subtly sweet and had lots of nice spices. Would love to try more muffins from here! Thanks for the yummy treats! Definitely hope to return someday to try the pie bars, strata, and more.

This place was my choice to grab a coffee from on my wait out of Cullman after a short visit. It…read morewas solid! The interior is decorated really nicely, kind of cool and funky vibes with a surprising amount of space available to hang out. Cute merchandise for sale too. I had a little bit of trouble finding the menu but eventually found it on a paper card placed somewhat inconspicuously near the register. I was only interested in coffee but they have a decent selection of cafe-type food and other beverages. They have seasonal specials and more standard, always-available house specials. I selected one of these and got a small iced Turtle latte, which had chocolate, caramel, and praline flavors. I thought service was a little standoffish and put-upon seeming, but I wouldn't say they were rude; just not super welcoming. My drink was made and served quickly and I got back on the road. The drink was good! Nice balance of ice to liquid and a yummy, sweet, rich turtle flavor. There was a slight artificially nutty aftertaste that I'd guess was the praline that I didn't love, but overall this was a solid drink that I'd probably order again. Give them a try if you're in the area.

We decided to give Karma's Coffee another shot, but unfortunately, it was pretty much the same as…read morebefore. The staff still seemed irritable and not friendly, which again made us feel more like an inconvenience than customers. We had to ask multiple times about our drinks and food, which was frustrating. Again, the HIGH prices... On the bright side, there's a nice bookish vibe that gives it that cozy feel. With the exposed bricks/ductwork, mismatched secondhand furniture, and a small selection of books, it does seem like a good spot to relax and chat with friends... Still, I'll be looking for a different coffee place next time! Somewhere the employees attitudes match the chill atmosphere.
