Customer Reviews

Delicious donuts! Brought two dozen mixed for a work meeting and everyone love them. The extra donut holes were yummy too! It was busy upon arrival but the worker quickly took care of everyone. Perfect little hole in the wall spot.

First time visiting and there were 4 ppl ahead of me, I understand why! She took sandwich orders to make sure they got working on them before closing out all orders so they could keep line moving. I went ahead as I didn?t want a saddened but will return for one, as I heard they were amazing! I got a dozen of mixed donuts (with donut holes thrown in, which was a pleasant surprise) and a half dozen Kolaches, all of which were devoured by the end of the work day. Donuts were nice and moist, thicker dough w

I LOVE Atlanta Donuts. Their donuts are always fresh and the service is good. Kind of an out of the way place if you aren?t familiar with the area. I gave atmosphere 3 stars because it is just a donut shop, no tables and chairs / atmosphere to rate. Whenever I pick these up for my coworkers, they always devour them and want to know where I got them.

The service was friendly and prompt. She was in there by herself and it was crowded, but she tried her best to accommodate everyone. The pastries were fresh and she even threw in some complimentary donut holes. We got maple bacon donuts, lucky charm cereal donuts, apple fritters and a coffee. They didn?t have latte or cappuccino options but just drip coffee. Breakfast sandwich was affordable and delicious. Would go back!

Dounuts were delightful and delicious! Very airy, fluffy and soft! Wayyyy better than Dunkin?!! My boyfriend and I were hesitated about going because of the area it?s located in but we gave it a try anyways and we?re glad that we went!! Best donuts!! We ordered a whole box and demolished them all lol

If I could give more stars I would. This is an Atlanta GEM. New ownership and name "Atlanta Donuts" it's a classic donut hole in the wall with AMAZING donuts (generous size and filling on the stuffed ones), huge selection, incredible pricing (I was shocked that I got 6 donuts some of them specialty for like $7), and get this - they also serve breakfast sandwiches, a host of coffee and morning type drinks, AND BOBA TEA! They are in a rough location, but I'd love to see this place thrive. Worth the stop off o

This one showed up on an Instagram reel and honestly I can't thank that person enough for posting it! Here's my usual take 1. Plenty of selection! Even for coming in at 10 am there was still plenty to choose from. 2. Donuts were very soft and light and not crazy sweet like some other places I've been to. The icing was thin but tasted great!! 3. The kolache was easily the best one I've had out of all places. I'm not sure if it was the sausage or some other spice but it was next level. Overall this place tak

I got a kolache. It was ok. It was to much bread on it and the cheese should have been on the sausage. I also purchased a blueberry donut it was really good. Next time I'll try the croissant with egg and cheese.

The doughnuts were so good...

The donuts are very, very good. The owners are a very nice person .always in spite. My good friend there also.

My second time to this spot when I'm in the area. I really like their donuts! I didn't like the hot coco, it was way too sweet. Parking is weird.

I have started to frequent this place because the food is great and fresh (BEC on a bagel is my fav), there?s a variety of donuts you can choose from, and her service is so nice. She?s always been so sweet. I will continue to support.

I did a door uber eats order. Donuts were fresh and latte was amazing! Packing was perfect and pricing on point. Did not expect it to be so good. Definitely plan on ordering again.

One of the best and freshest donuts I?ve had. Variety is plentiful and cost is pocket friendly. We love this place. Have to put myself on timeout they?re soooo good??

Fresh and delicious !! How did I not know about this place!! Yummy????

Couldn?t sleep so headed down for donuts at 5:30am and was pleasantly rewarded with donuts that were as delicious as the owners were friendly, which is to say very delicious and very friendly. We?re not in any shortage of good donuts in Atlanta but Daylight brings the a-game with solid donut offerings. Also the breakfast burrito and kolache were amazing.

The donuts are so delicious and fresh I only eat dont it?s from here no where else I love these donuts they are extremely fresh

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Absolutely worth the trip. I love finding little hidden gems around the city, and this is definitely one of those. The donuts are incredible. The sandwiches are really good. Everything is honestly underpriced. Best of all, the service was friendly, warm, and welcoming. This was my first trip in, and I felt like a regular. I will be back soon!

INCREDIBLE! Super fresh and not too sweet. Definitely our new favorite donut place!

Wow! Let?s start w the custom service, they said good morning prior to seeing our faces. That door bell rang? ting ting? Good morning! ?? it was me and my boyfriend 1st time. She gave us a glaze donut to sample! I was SOLD, the variety of donuts. The donut holes melted in our mouths. They also have breakfast sandwiches, Boba Teas. I will be back.. ??Thank you! You have to go check them out!

My o my. I love donuts. I love this place. The price. The sweet lady behind the counter. Did I mention, the donuts?!?. Stopped by on our way home to Charlotte. Will be back. Maple donuts. My favorite. Top 5 for sure.

Love this place! Kolache?s are excellent, The filled donuts are super, but the donut holes are literally the best I?ve ever had!! I definitely recommend this donut shop!!

They are delicious. I particularly love the bear claws. That apple in between just melts in your mouth!

Outstanding breakfast sandwiches and donuts! The prices can't be beat either. We spent $10 for 2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 donuts.

The owner is so sweet! Donuts and food are quick and yummmyyy. Support local business

If I could give this place 10000 stars I would. I come here whenever I am in town to visit customers and everyone always loves them! Definitely highly recommend!

This place is a gem flying under the radar. My only regret is not trying this place sooner. My wife and I stopped in to get a couple donuts and couldn?t help but get 6 after seeing the selection (even at 1:00pm). The woman at the counter even threw in a few donut holes to our box. Donuts were inexpensive, looked great, and tasted even better. We will be back.

Not only were the Donuts amazing but the customer service was impeccable!! Will definitely come back again!!

Chill donut spot but the pastries are really good. I miss Rays donuts on Candler Street but these donuts are great as well. Staff very nice and the egg and cheese croissant is delicious.

I still love this place! The donuts are excellent and the lady who runs it is so sweet and hardworking. They have smoothies and boba and hot, iced, and frozen coffee. The bottled drinks are very reasonably priced, and enjoy their croissant sandwiches in the morning. A really top-notch little neighborhood donut shop. ??????

I just called the restaurant to thank the lady for my delicious food. Fresh, fresh, fresh and inexpensive!!! Croissants were fluffy and flaky, donuts OMG!!! Apple Fritter was soooo good. My first time visiting this hidden gem but definitely not my last!!!! #supportsmallbusiness!!!

The owner is very personable hard-working and her products are spot on if you don?t get there early shame on you lol

An amazing donut shop!!! I am in town visiting and was near this shop that had wonderful reviews so I tried it. The customer service was friendly and helpful and very pleasant. I ordered a BEC croissant. It was fresh and homemade. If I return I will ask for double egg but otherwise it was delicious! I also got a custard filled chocolate donut, bear claw and red velvet tiger paw. All of it was so good. Flaky and fresh. The best donuts I?ve ever had!! And I?m from NC home of Krispy Kreme and toe to toe they w

Always a delicious treat. Always a pleasant service. Owner is a sweet host.

Aw man! I walked out of Walter?s with the worst costumer service experience and walked right into the best! The woman at the counter was very patient with me when I received a call during my order and even snuck in a couple donut holes in my bag when I wasn?t looking! I caught her though lol wonderful ?

These Are THE BEST DONUTS In Town! They Melt In Your Mouth & Customer Service is OUTSTANDING! Whether you?re buying Donuts, Twist, Tiger Tails, Donut Holes or A Sandwich, you?ll be pleased! You will NOT Be Disappointed!

Went after work...donuts were fresh and soft. I was only going in for 2 ended up with 6. Definitely worth the stop.

I stopped by this place because of the reviews. The outside is not much to look at, kinda hidden in a not great area next to a gas station. However, the Donuts are amazing. The staff are very nice and welcoming. The donuts are so good. Some of the best I've had. I got a Dozen different kinds and ALL of them were delicious. The Cinnamon Roll was my personal fav though! Definitely recommend stopping here and skipping Dunkin'.

These donuts are soooo good! Light and airy but also really tasty. My 6 year old took one bite and said, ?This tastes like a miracle!? ?? She?s not wrong.

Wow, my new favorite donut place. We came in for just 6 donuts and since it was towards the end of the day we received much more and were only charged for our original six. I'd give this place 5 stars just for the customer service. I managed to eat some donut holes and the blueberry cake donut. The donut holes were the best I have every had. These were light, fluffy, and a tad tangy, so perfect. The cake donut was like eating a blueberry muffin top, perfectly moist, not heavy like some cake donuts, and a ge

I saw this place on a tik tok review ans I have to say, I was skeptical at first but I was pleasantly surprised with the overall warm greeting and the prices of the main attraction (doughnuts) look delicious ?? I would highly recommend this place for a sweet tooth craving those bear claws mmmmmm. You should stop by and get a dozen today.

If you haven?t tried a kolache, please do! So good! Friendly customer service and fresh food.

We bought 6 donuts and most were delicious! The donuts we had with chocolate frosting had a very strong perfume/chemical taste and we could not eat them. Coffee was surprisingly good- I did not have high hopes but was surprised. Wouldn't go out of my way to go here but it was decent.

Best donuts in Atlanta !! The owner was so kind and accommodating. I ordered 3 dozen assorted donuts and my entire family loved them ! Everything was fresh and soft. 10/10

Wow, GREAT donuts! I haven't had any like this in so long! Go there: you will not be disappointed!

I?m new to the area and this place was awesome. A diamond, I recommend to plan to get there early because the service was a little slow. At the time of my visit there was only 1 person working so she was superwoman. Have some patience, it was worth the wait.

Had Uber eats delivery try to pick up some food - eta 20-30 mins - 1 hour and 10 mins in I get a call that my order was cancelled because they ran out of food. Be nice to call to substitute something else - had some hangry people to feed..

These donuts are amazing! Got a dozen while on vacation. Went back the next day for a few more. Wish this place was closer to home!

delicious donuts at exceptional prices, won?t be eating donuts anywhere else. the plain glazed was my favorite but the cinnamon roll and sugar donut were both amazing.

I wanted some authentic soul food, so I stopped at Walter's next door, saw the shop sign and had to come in. These are the best doughnuts I have had in years!! The cake old fashioned was light, gently sweet and just melt in your mouth amazing. The tiger tail was flaky, buttery, light and airy,... the glaze sweet and in perfect harmony with the dough. Even the next day they were supreme. Worth the visit!!!

If I can give this donut place a 10 stars ?? ?? ? I would. First off this place is awesome the customer service was great. the owner service out and gave us a 12 count on. it as well as we got three breakfast sandwiches as well as three drinks we almost bought the place up. everything was fresh and clean and samples are good. I tell y'all they are great this is a great business and clean ..... ?????? I love fresh and clean donuts ?? ??

Maple Bacon Donuts are the best! Definitely recommend all their donuts are delicious! 5 stars isn?t enough!

I LOVE these donuts! The customer service is top notch and I recommend this establishment to everyone!

I can eat these all day. Krispy what? LOL They are huge. You don't know what you missing. Someone brought them to work.

So. Good. The owners were incredibly kind and the donuts were delicious! We went toward the end of the day and even so, they tasted so fresh!! Excited for our next visit and to have a donut spot so close by.

Not good?GREAT donuts!!! Seriously fabulous. I?d give more stars if I could. Everything is fresh, every day, every time. And such kind people working there!!! Run to this shop, you won?t be disappointed. So yummy!

Best glazed donut I?ve ever had! So many of the donut shops in atlanta care more about the appearance of the donut, but this shop 100% cares about the actual taste. Top tier!

The freshest, and tastiest donuts around. Still trying to figure out how my nice sized cinnamon twist (which she happily heated for me upon request) melted in my mouth and was gone in two seconds ??. My niece had the red velvet cake donut and raved about it so much that she now plans to buy a bunch of those instead of a red velvet cake for her friend's birthday. The customer service is impeccable. Please go support them, but please don't buy all the cinnamon twists, in case you are ahead of me visiting that

Very friendly service with a great variety of donuts and other pastries. I certainly enjoyed the bacon, egg and cheese croissant and glazed donuts that I had. The donuts were fresh and warm when I got mine at about 7:30 in the morning. The coffee was fresh and hot. The owners are new and take excellent care of their customers.

LOVE this place! Locally owned, VERY reasonably priced, and truly delicious. We met one of the owners and she was so sweet and helpful. The donuts were so amazing and fresh. Way better than what you could get at any chain doughnut shop. The apple fritter and blueberry cake donuts are the best! We also love that you can customize what fillings you want in the donuts. 10/10 recommend!

Love the doughnuts first time I had hot croissant it was delicious 2nd and third time not good at all. But the doughnuts are delicious.

Unbelieveable donuts. Yeast donuts are the lightest and fluffiest you can ever imagine. Cake donuts have just the perfect textute and flavor

Great spot bacon maple glaze ~Roman J. Israel ESQ

Finding this great local donut shop was the highlight of moving to Atlanta. This is exactly what a donut shop should be; welcoming, delicious, and inexpensive. The donuts were classic and perfected. A true family owned establishment!

I just saw this place on Uber eats one day and took a chance and ordering and man what a great choice I made. If this place was down the street from me I'd go there everyday for a sandwich, apple fritter and a Thai tea

There donuts are always fresh. And their bacon egg and cheese reminds me of NYC bodegas. Love it! Oh, and the lady who takes the order is super sweet and always puts in an extra donut for my son. Love her!!!

This place is amazing! Delicious, homemade donuts and crazy cheap. Super, super nice people. I asked her twice if she was sure that's all it cost! I absolutely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. My favorite donuts have always been krispy kreme, but these guys blow them out of the water. Absolutely no comparison. I can't say enough nice things about this place!

Got a half dozen today and they were so good. They are the light fluffy kind, my favorite type. Owner was so friendly and you can tell she enjoys her customers. She even puts fresh filling in for you. Coffee isn?t fancy but was very good! They even have these big pig in a blanket thingys that I?ll be getting next time. So glad this shop is near home. I?ll be a regular customer.

Omg, atlanta donuts is without a doubt th best donuts in atlanta...and ive tried them ALLLLLL.....this place really reminds me of the best donut shops in Texas (if you know you know) and the prices are so affordable...also the flavors are awesome!!! The folks who work there are always nice and generous with extra donut holes. It is simply a 10/10 donut experience!! The only flavors that dont slap in my opinion are the chocolate frosting options but literally EVERYTHING ELSE IS AMAZING!

Oh this place is excellent! Great food.. Generous servings. The lady who runs this place always gives free donut holes and it's awesome. First time I was hooked

Saw How Great The Reviews Were & Decided To Give Them A Try. Had A Mixed Variety & They All Were Good, Especially The Glazed Twist. Even Gave Us Extra.. Went Back A Few Hrs Later For A Second Box 10/10 On The Sweets & Customer Service

My daughter introduced me to this shop they have some of the best donuts in Atlanta

This is just a very good local donut shop with great service. Donuts are good. I really enjoyed coming to this donut shop. Drive

Very great customer service will be back

The sweets are delicious and the customer service is top tier!

Really good kolaches, little breakfast burritos, and the donuts are fresh. They have a really neat system where you pick the type of glaze (plain, chocolate, or powdered sugar) and pick your custom filling from the pink menu. The owners were super nice and gave us a ton of donut holes on the house.

My coworker had these the other day, I was pleased to see they were only one exit away. I came by to get some for my coworker's birthday, and when I walked in they said Hot glazed! I was like give me a dozen! I got an additional dozen for variety. They are a hit! The owners are so pleasant! Great price, product, and customer service! Will def be back, these doughnuts literally melt in your mouth.

Thet are very inviting and works swiftly to complete you order. ( I assume they are the owners!) They open at 5:00am! The breakfast PRICES ARE reasonable and FOOD was fresh. There donuts and pastries are good also.

My new spot for donuts. They are amazing and the customer service is excellent.

Pleasantly surprised for the donut selection. Tasted fresh. Owners was friendly. I recommend the blueberry donut was absolutely perfect LaToya Duan Local Realtor

Fresh and soft donuts at a good price. The Dunkin had me really bummed with the stale sugar rings they'd been selling me. Atlanta donuts will be getting all my business. Very happy with this place.

This place is a hidden gem. It reminds me of a place you might find in NYC. Cheap breakfast sandwiches and great donuts. Great place to stop for a bite on the way to work in the morning.

I walked in wanting the $1.49 (12) count donut holes and walked out with 3 various donuts, a gatorade, a water, and most importantly a new family. Mrs.Kek is a phenomenal women. Her and her husband are Cambodian and recently opened the shop and do a hell of a job running it. I encourage everyone to go try their Daylight Donuts for they will be the BEST location i guarantee you! You can try anything on the Menu and thoroughly enjoy it along with the greatest and warmest consumer service. She is such a sweet,

passing through from Chicago and needed a quick breakfast. daylight donuts were great and the people were friendly and helpful. skip the chain donut shops and stop by daylight for fresh fluffy donuts instead. if I'm ever in Atlanta again I'll be sure to come back.

Delicious breakfast Croissants and Donuts!!

100% delicious donuts. I?m really quite picky about donuts and these are light and fluffy (the yeast ones) and full of flavor. Best in the area. Do not pass this place up!

Super yummy selection of donuts

I ordered on Post Mates & was so surprised at how delicious the donuts were. Way better than Krispy Kreme or Dunkin? Donuts. And the kolache was sooo yummy the bread they use is so soft! 10/10 & I will definitely be ordering more!
