I didn't realize THT closes at Noon but luckily had one day in advance to order pickup (yesterday) in time for my partner's birthday delights! I have once before tried the creme brûlée, limited time only- cronut and whoa they are worth all the hype but ONLY available in person so keep that in mind if ordering for pickup. I also chose classic glazed, strawberry with sprinkles, raspberry jelly, maple eclair (both super yum), red velvet, sugar/cinnamon , blueberry cake and a gigantic apple fritter! We cut them up to share with family and everybody enjoyed! I really wanna try the s'mores, coconut cream and lemon filled! Nothing else to say but DONUT, NOT try The Hole Thing cuz you'd be missing out hehehe. read more

Googled for donuts and The Hole Thing popped up and it's reviews were good. It's a nice donut shop, with areas to sit and eat. The customer service was great. Got to speak with the owner for a bit. She was very helpful. Also we wanted donuts with pink icing and no sprinkles. The owner made it for us. Donut's were tasty. They have a lot of variety and interesting donut flavors. read more

The Hole Thing - The Halloween sprinkle donut got a 10 out of 10 from my 7 year old - Donuts Near Me - Forney, Texas

I've eaten a lot of donuts in my life but the best I have ever had has come from "the whole thing" They have such a large variety of specialty donuts and items that I found it very hard to choose a reasonable amount I've done it for myself so I ended up purchasing more than $30 worth of donuts lol. needless to say, they were all delicious, fresh and unique. my only complaint being that even though the girl who rang us up was wearing a mask but the two in the back that were handling food were not, well I think one was wearing it on their chin but that doesn't count. With that said my visit was during C-19 So it was kind of important to me for them to be wearing their masks but obviously in normal times this would be a non-issue. definitely check them out and try the creme brulee donut *Poor *Decent *Good *Great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Food. Best Service. Good Cleanliness.Decent Consistency. Best Variety. Best Value.Great I love your comments. in fact I'm desperate for them... make me happy...... PLZ!!! read more

Not a fan of the customer service or the stale, oil flavored donuts. How does your breakfast sandwich look old and dry only a couple hours after opening? Tried this place because Queen Donuts was closed. Unfortunately we will not be returning. read more

Great shop, large selection and very helpful staff. I would recommend to anyone in the area.

This is one of the best Donut shops in Forney. The Apple Fritters are the Best with Vanilla Ice Cream.

Awesome selection of donuts for everyone! We went on Halloween morning to get some Halloween Themed Donuts and left with more than just those. Not all the donuts lasted long enough for a picture! Fresh, soft, doughy, cream filled, goodness of donuts is exactly what we enjoyed getting! Banana cream pie, sopapilla cheesecake, red velvet, smores, Cookie Monster, pumpkin cake, strawberry shortcake, sausage rolls, etc! This is the go to spot for some donut deliciousness to start your day off on a sugary note!! The staff was on fire today! Helping all the guests that came through the door and still saying good morning to everyone that entered the door. Fantastic place! read more

The Hole Thing - Yummy donuts and holes! - Donuts Near Me - Forney, Texas

The doughnuts are so delicious and mouthwatering I would highly recommend this place.

High marks for donut creativity! Several fun selections. But, it's not the place to go for large donut orders. Rarely have a lot of anything. I've seen a couple of times someone ask for a dozen basic glazed donuts and they don't have them and don't offer any on the way (at 9am). Better suited for the more boutique donut small order. What drags the Hole Thing experience down is the customer experience. I get the feeling that they're annoyed that people are there. I'm not talking about tough orders where ppl change their mind several times. I'm talking about every interaction. I had to think back and can't remember a worker welcoming guests, smiling, or saying thanks for coming. Ever. lol. You may leave less happy than when you walked in. read more

I honestly went into The Hole Thing because I didn't want to.drive over to my usual shop. They were a little more expensive than my regular place but the donuts were better/bigger. They offered all the usual suspects but some awesome upgraded donuts. They had the cereal donuts (recommend the fruity pebbles blueberry donuts) as well as the luxury donuts like the barbarian cream. YOU MUST TRY THE CROISSANT DONUT! Please, do yourself the favor! Worth the visit. The staff was really nice too! read more

Best donut shop in Forney! My favorite to go too, always has enough donuts. Staff is always kind as well!

Wow, a fun donut spot! We've been to 4 donut locations here in Forney and this is by far the best! I'm sad that didn't discover this sooner. The donuts are very creative, bigger than your usual, and delicious. We'd been hunting down large Kolaches as well and this place has them! The staff was kind enough to put an order aside for me (as I knew they'll run out soon), very friendly staff. read more

This place is expensive for not great donuts. I don't think anything is made fresh and I'm surprised this place is still open. I haven't found the people particularly friendly and I was a delivery person for a while and I had only two orders from there in 6 months. Go across the street by 7-11 to get freshly made much less expensive donuts. This place used to rock but when it changed owners the new owners have no passion. Just my opinion. I give it two stars read more

Friendly & helpful staff. They offer a large variety of donuts. Granddaughters loved the "fancy" donuts. Clean store.

MEDIOCRE at best to be quite honest. Got filled donuts from here which are a decent size, but oh boy were they stale, thick, and dryyyyy. Not to mention some of the donuts had the illusion of being filled correctly, only to bite into them and hit nothing but dough. Had to pull them apart just to expose the tablespoon sized dollop of filling -- Bummer.... The shop is really lack luster to say the least. Donut counter was half empty as if it were never stocked honestly. I was disappointed by the lack of donuts, especially the specialty ones which are broadcasted online in pictures. I was excited, but that excitement wore of rather intantly upon walking into the shop. Oh well. On the plus side I did get a good morning greeting from the staff in there. read more

I just moved back to Forney and I decided to give this place a try. It was obvious my kind (African-Americans) was not welcome the moment I walked in. It was 6:00 a.m. when I entered. I was going to buy five dozens of doughnuts for work. I walked into a dim entry where when my eyes got fixed I was staring at a Caucasian woman who gave me no greeting just a cold blank stare. Regardless of her look, I said, "Good morning." No response. She continued to stare. I walked over to the coffee station and grabbed a cup and began to look around for coffee. There was none. The lady offered no guidance as to if and when coffee would be brewed. Yet she continues to stare. Therefore, I canceled my desire for coffee and walked to the counter to be served. The lady met me at the counter by the time I arrived. She was not rude or disrespectful just impersonal. Despite her being impersonal, I made a different purchase buying only one item then I went to another doughnut shop along my route to purchase the five dozen I intended on buying there. I won't be going back. For those of you who choose to go, there is a minimum of $4.00 to spend in order to use your debit cards read more

This place just isn't very good, as much as I wanted to like it. The donuts are definitely different, but they don't taste very good. They're cakey and VERY dense... just not my preference. I would be better off just buying a dozen Walmart donuts over these. Overpriced for what you get. Service is obnoxious. They treat you like they're doing you a huge favor for selling you donuts. They actually brag about "selling out" every day. Why not just make more donuts? I've been inside no later than 10 to have to choose from very limited selections. Skip this place and go to the other local donut shops in Forney. They'll greet you with a smile there! read more

From a former Gourmet Doughnut Shop owner, I had to stop by and check out this place when I heard that they were going to be featuring their products in my favorite Bubble Bubble Tea house in Terrell. I drove out this morning from Dallas just to try them, and First Things First, the Doughnuts looked and tasted great, I purchased an assortment along with a Coffee and a Brisket bite thing...it was most awesome! I took the box of tasty treats to a friends house and I sat at the head of the table and cut each one into 4 pieces and we passed them around and everyone sampled each product. Overall, I give them a pretty darn high score. I have high hopes for The Hole Thing, and I also support Bubble Bubble in Terrell. Every now and then along comes a small business with lots of promise, and I truly hope these businesses go a long way. Now, for the suggestions to The Hole Thing...(my opinion as a Donut "Doughnut" Aficionado, Entrepreneur, Owner & Operator) Things I learned in my Palm Springs business.) 1. You gotta label your product, "Educate the Consumer" tell them what it is with a simple little label either in front of the display or on a toothpick in the first donut! and take a photo of each and post the menu on FB and YELP and make it memorable. If they like a specific donut, then give the consumer a name and a tasty image that they can remember. 2. When you put your product in the display case, do not smush them against the glass, not pretty! 3. When I GPS'd the address, it took me straight to your competition over at 80 near Wally world...If I did not know better, that is where I would have had my morning donuts and coffee...Get that FIXED ASAP, because you were not easy to find and the parking lot was not easy to navigate, since I was not a local...But I found you and I am glad I did. For those of you asking for 20% discounts, GET REAL people, the donut business is not a huge profit business, and making donuts is time consuming and hard work. Pay the price for a great product and tip the help and help support the small business person in such a difficult market. If you want a discount, go to Lowes and get 5% by using your Lowes card...and don't pick on the hard working donut makers. If you want run of the mill donuts, then go to Dunkin or Kryspy, or Shipleys, or Sunny, all good, but the Gourmet Donut is my preference, we all have preferences and options, I choose to support The Hole Thing. Overall, I give 4 stars, and I think The Hole Thing has a great future, clean it up a bit, get those labels, and keep up the good work...awesome product. :-) read more

The Hole Thing - My sampler box today....I enjoyed all products but have to say today's winners were the Maple Bacon Bar and the Brisket Bite. - Donuts Near Me - Forney, Texas

There are donuts and then there's The Hole Thing! I drive to this place from Frisco every weekend to get an assortment of gourmet donuts. Pick any flavor and you can't go wrong. Oh, and you have to try the THT sandwich. It's bacon goodness! It's unfortunate that some provided negative reviews of this place based on customer service and mentioned race. I myself am a minority and have never had any issues. With that said, I highly recommend this place to anyone -- race, creed, or color. Not trying this place is like going to buy your dream car, but decided not to because someone gave a negative review based on their experience with the dealership. You can't please everyone! read more

All I can say is... why was I out all the way in Forney?? JUST FOR THIS DONUT SHOP! Well, all kidding aside, I was in Forney for personal reasons and decided to stop by for some breakfast donuts. I got in through the doors around 5:30am and was so shocked by the welcome I got. Let me repeat... it was 5:30am... being up that early, I was super grumpy and tired I couldn't even fake a smile. I don't know if they were the owners or employees, but they greeted me with a smile and were super helpful. Great customer service! Already a good start! But let me get to the main reason I'm writing this review. THE OREO DONUT. Just mention Oreos and you already have me sold. They crumbled the Oreo on top of the donut with some cream and an Oreo on top. Normally with donuts like this, the Oreo is stale, but this Oreo tasted like it just came out of the box. I ate every single bite with no regrets. My only complaint is that they're not closer to where I live... but if I'm ever back in the area, I definitely will be back to try their other gourmet donuts! read more

Absolutely the worst place for donuts not only do they not offer to warm up your kolachies but they serve you hot chocolate donuts that they shove in a paper bag so you have a steamy hot pile of crap after you have to rip open the bag because everything is melted and covered in gooey chocolate. 2nd time my son has shown up from this place with the exact same outcome. read more

DARN GOOD DONUTS! Made the drive this morning to check out the donuts. We got quite the variety with a pig n a blanket and sausage, egg and chz breakfast sandwich. $25 worth of donuts, my inner fat kid is happy,happy,happy.. Everything looked SO good. I cldnt help it! How do you choose just one? Everything was Amazing! The staff and possibly the owners who were busy little bees in the back were extremely friendly. If you haven't made it out to Forney, do so soon! read more

Yesterday was my baby girls "Two Sweet" themed birthday party. It had been a really rough week and I completely forgot to order her custom donuts. I called The Hole Thing at 7:20AM. They saved me and had her donuts ready IN TEN MINUTES! Not only did they completely match our theme, were they gorgeous and of course they were delicious, as always!! Thanks a million! read more

So I went once before and I don't remember anything that stood out so I tried it again with my husband and children. We went around 9 am. We ordered a dozen kolaches and a dozen donuts and 2 dozen donut holes. The service was quick not many people were in there. I don't know maybe I just went on an off day. The kolaches were dry and gross the sausages shriveled, the donuts even the fancy ones were dried out as well as the donut holes.This was a total waste of money. We got some of the expensive character donuts too not just the regular. We had to drive over to Crandall to the donut place behind Dairy Queen to save the day. My 3,7,10 year olds that we joke will eat anything with sugar wouldn't even eat them. To me that's bad when a child won't eat a donut. Again this could have just been an off day but when I spent $50+ on donuts and kolaches that all went in the trash. I don't have any desire to waste my money again. read more
