Good donuts, but not more than a usual chain. The maple icing wasn't very flavorful, but not bad. The don't holes were nice, but they too weren't terribly flavorful.

The best Mexican food in Homewood is in a donut shop. Insanely good food. Very much a taco truck type menu at lunch and breakfast.

Breakfast burrito with nuclear hot sauce (it's delicious)
Opinionatedfish T.

Donuts are always delicious!!! They have an excellent breakfast burrito that is always a 10/10. Servers are frequently nice and relatively quick with food preparation. Vibes inside are fun. A must stop if you love local food!!!

So I am not sure what happened, maybe they had a change in ownership, but their donuts are no longer square even though the box still says "Our donuts are square because we don't cut corners".... except they do, they really do! Not a single square donut in the case lol. I actually asked the employee about it and he said they don't do square donuts anymore, so sad. So when I first found Yoyo in 2017 and left my initial review, I thought they had the best donuts in town. After the last and today's visit (had to go twice to verify!), I can no longer say the same. They are still good and I would still go if I was in the area with a craving for a donut; however, I wouldn't make a special trip to specifically go to Yoyo anymore.

After having lunch at a nearby restaurant, we came here on a late Saturday afternoon. My niece wanted a milk tea , which she said was good. We also grabbed a few donuts while we were here.. Since this was our first time here, they were nice enough to give us two free donuts! Extremely friendly staff & nicely decorated with coffee and donut decor. For the free donuts we tried the Oreo and beignet donut. The beignet donut was the exact replica of an actual beignet as far as taste. A little dry though. I didn't taste the Oreo donut but presentation wise , it was decorated nicely. We purchased a lemon filled donut for my mom and she enjoyed it. For this to be a donut shop , I was taken aback by the fact that their menu consisted of Asian wings, fried fish , tacos , burritos, etc. Perhaps these items do well on their menu but I'm often leery of places that have such a random menu. Overall , we enjoyed our visit here. Maybe I'll try some other items on their menu in the future.

First time at Yo yo Donuts!

Great first time at Yoyo Donuts! First, my coffee came out steaming, which was great, but it was very weak. They also have 8 different syrup flavors and can make specialty drinks like lattes, etc. The burritos must be made to order which is great, but the wait was a little bit longer than I had expected. I ordered a bacon and chorizo burrito. They even have avocado inside, which was great! They had tons of different flavors of donuts. They were a little bit dry on top (particularly the coconut), but still good! The service was 10/10! When I come back, I think I'll call ahead for the burritos and probably skip the coffee!

Pretty cute hidden off little donut shop which also sales Mexican food. I only came for the Boba tea but just had to try a donut because they were right in my face.. how could I resist! I chose a cinnamon donut which was reaaallyy soft after I heated it up. The bread was great and the donut flavor itself was pretty good. The one I chose wasn't too sweet! The Boba Teas I chose were the Mocha Milk Tea and the Earl Grey Lavender! So good but I'll probably keep going to Ikko for my Milk Tea runs since it's a bit closer AND their cups are larger but this place will be a second. The server seemed shy and was not very responsive when I complimented the shops affordable prices but he was quick!

HIDDEN GEM! This place has incredible breakfast tacos. I'm from Texas and this is the first place I've found real legit breakfast tacos like this. Highly recommended!!!

Nikese C.

I had a sweet tooth baaad! Got a donut or two.. this place is kinda tucked away. It's a very interesting concept of Mexican food and donuts on the menu.. Heeey why have two separate buildings when you can cook and bake in one lol. I had a blueberry donut cake. The best! Sorry no pics. I demolished it. The icing on top was different from anywhere else I tasted. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

Thai tea, pork taco, steak taco, and a glazed donut
Sabrina R.

To be honest, the reason I drove here was just for bubble tea. After I walked in though I saw authentic tacos for a GREAT price and had to have some. I would highly reccomend the pork tacos :) Oh so yes back to bubble tea, after I made my purchase, I was also offered any donut of my choice so of course they get bonus points. Great experience overall!

What a charming bakery/coffee shop in a super cute almost European nook in town. If you're…read morevisiting, I definitely recommend taking a drive to this area. Progressive area - Seems to be... 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. The bakery items were very fresh and tasty. I loved the Swedish gingerbread cookies - light and crisp. The lemon bar was delicious. They also have sandwiches that liked really good. 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!

I often enjoy getting a pastry and a coffee here. I had a not so good experience last time but…read morewanted to try again. I was never greeted. More customers came in. 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.

A bold claim, no? Maybe that's all you need to know... but I love writing about coffee shops so don't stop here. I love real deal coffeehouses (yes, in a house) and it's so cozy in here. I didn't stay to work because every seat was taken both times I came in (late morning), so get here early or perhaps late, if you want a seat in the middle of the week. The baristas couldn't be nicer. They took their time and chatted with customers, a rarity in those crowded coffee chains. Do check out those seasonal lattes (I mean, for February, a cherry blossom latte? Say less). My favorite is on the regular menu, a salted rosemary latte and it's literally perfect. I adjusted the sweetness level to be less so, and I loved the notes of floral rosemary and coffee. Pro tip: skip the line and order ahead!

It really did taste like a blueberry muffin. The patio had a relaxed, cozy vibe that made it easy to just slow down and enjoy the morning. Only downside was parking. I had to circle the block twice before finding a spot, so just be prepared if you go during a busy weekend morning. Thankfully, they do have a drive-thru option which is a huge plus if you're short on time or don't want to deal with parking. Definitely still worth the stop for the coffee and atmosphere!!!

If you haven't had one before you definitely need to get some. It's the chocolate chip cookies, but they're salted. It gives them a different flavor.

This was the spot we would all come to to do homework. It's still got that same warmth and charm. I came in on a Wednesday morning to sit and do some work. I ordered a cappuccino, bran muffin, and a breakup cookie to take home. The cappuccino is just as expected. Served at the perfect temp, great flavor. The bran muffin, which was my attempt to be healthy, was really a delicious stand-out. I would definitely get that again. And, of course, the breakup cookies are some of the best cookies in town. They bake all of the baked goods in-house, I believe, which gets a round of applause from me. A lot of the recipes are still the same ones I remember from 7 years ago. One thing I noticed that's even BETTER than I remember was the books and gift selection. A lot of the books caught my eye. It's a great curation of fiction, non, memoirs, birding books, children's, etc. They also carry the Village Apothecary candles, which are made locally and have some packaging I really love. Church Street is one of the Birmingham staples. I hope they're open for a million more years. They do what they do exceptionally well.

Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business.
