    Another wonderful stop in Birmingham! Donuts were light and fluffy, and the donut holes were about perfect. Got a caramel and maple bacon which were both good, just VERY sweet. I'd come back for sure!

    Service is fast and the customer service is absolutely AMAZING. Don't be scared to try something new. The Maple Bacon Donut is now my new fav

    Fresh donuts with great flavor!

    Dropped in for a box of donuts and they did not disappoint. Grabbed 6 and they were all delicious! They sell a few other things but the donuts are #1. Every donut was fresh and full of flavor. We tried some that were more traditional, some that were iced, and some that were filled. They all were done perfectly. I highly recommend.

    My husband and I consider ourselves donut tourists, trying a new donut shop in every new city/state. This one has been on a number of "top" lists and lives up to the hype. Friendly service. Lots of indoor seating. Wide selection of donuts. Hands down one of the best old fashioned donuts ever. The red velvet donut is smooth, rich, and delightful! 10/10 recommend!

    best donuts in the Bham area hands down. donuts are soft and large. The icing is so fluffy and light. The worker gave me a free half dozen coupon for my next visit because it was my first time. It definitely made my day. I ate 3 on the way home. Will be back & visiting often : )

    King cake, French toast, maple bacon, reeces

    It ain't called heavenly for nothing! We were in the area and could not pass up an opportunity to try their daily selection. I got the French toast with cinnamon and I had to try the king cake! Both were really good and the king cake had that trademarked baby on top. I enjoyed the French toast the most though and would highly recommend. My husband got the French toast, maple bacon, and reeces. He enjoyed all of them but the maple bacon was gone the quickest so....

    Another food truck which recently stopped by our neighborhood. Diet or not, we had to try them out. I drove up and hopped out, trying to beat the rain as it had already started a light mist. I did a quick glance at their menu and made a few selections, as others had already gathered behind me, so between the rain and the crowd, I didn't get a good chance to look at their whole menu. My wife loved the maple bacon donuts. I thought they were decent, but not my favorite. I liked the chocolate filled with cream the most, while my wife liked them the least. The chocolate glazed we both though were ok and the middle selection. Next time we need a sweat treat as an exception to our diet, I'm sure we'll be glad to swing by their truck again.

There is no space inside to eat, because of COVID-19. I visit pre-pandemic and there were just two or three tables in there. Now, it is pickup only. They don't have a large overwhelming menu. So it's easy to choose your donut flavors. The glazed donuts and the strawberry with sprinkles are my absolute favorite. The donuts are always fresh and are just right. The donut holes are also very good! They are also priced well and not outrageous. They also have some breakfast sandwiches. They have coffee and cocoa. The coffee is not very strong. So if you are just looking to satisfy your coffee fix, then it is fine. However, if you are looking for some strong coffee, then you may not want to get the coffee. They do have some bottled beverages, but not an extensive collection.

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.

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.

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 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.
