Assorted dozen
Cara H.

I stopped by Heavenly Doughnuts one evening for a sweet treat--my first time back since my undergrad days--and it's just as good now as it was then! There wasn't anyone in line at the drive-thru, so the wait was super quick. Our dozen came out to about $20, which felt very reasonable for the quality. We grabbed an assortment of doughnuts: red velvet, cream filled, original glazed, sprinkles, blueberry, and caramel. Every single one was delicious--fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Such a perfect little treat spot, and I honestly can't wait to go back!

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 : )

Service and product selection has been spot on lately. They really are the best donuts around. Especially the strawberry.

I love Daylight Donuts. The staff is always friendly and smiling. They are taking proper…read moreprecautions during COVID-19. Even when there is a line, they are always quick to check you out. 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.

I thought the last time we got a mixed box of filled donuts that it was just a fluke that they just had a dot of filling on top so my husband made sure to mention it to the lady doing the donuts. Well EXACTLY the same thing this time. I took a picture but unfortunately haven't found how to add the picture. Go back to how you used to fix them!

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.

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 )
