Customer Reviews

I am a foodie and my family LOVES donuts so anytime I pass a donut shop and got time to stop I normally grab a dozen for the family! Stopped by this morning and got a mixed dozen. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had strawberry ?? FILLED donuts. I don?t think I have seen them anywhere else. Baby, that strawberry filling was everything and I will be back for another one soon bc after I ate it I started thinking about how good it would be warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream ?? on top!

Delish! Quick service and reasonable prices. The apple fritters are wonderful. Our fave was the cream filled long johns. My family really like the old fashioneds and the jelly filled. There are so many types of jelly filling available. Do yourself a favor and just get one of everything! Can't wait to go back!

We love coming here! The people are super friendly but the donuts are perfect! Not heavy and not airy and always taste fantastic! They were the winner of our donut challenge

This place really lives up to its name! In my 36 years these really were the BEST donuts I've ever had ?? The employees were so nice too which was the cherry on top. Will be back for sure!!

My boyfriend and I frequent this place quite often as the male owner who works there is so sweet and we?ve never really had any issue with the quality of product or services, that is until yesterday and this morning. I am currently expecting and when the craving takes over, it is otherworldly! Yesterday I needed a bear claw, badly, so my partner got me one, but imagine my surprise when I bit into it and was eating PURE DOUGH! I called him crying because 1. undercooked and gross 2. undercooked food and pregn

We randomly have "Donut Day" at our house and today's pick was Best Donuts. They actually live up to their name! We had a few donuts left over the next day or two and they were still yummy! I got my order really quickly. In just the few minutes it took to get my donuts, I really enjoyed the personalities of the man and woman who waited on me. It's definitely worth the stop. I know I'll be back!??

All the donuts looked amazing, ONLY reason this gets 4 rather than 5 stars is an employee came in for her shift put her things down, and started handing out food puts on a glove that looked used NEVER washed her hands. I however was waited on by the one that did

We absolutely love this place. I'll drive across town from woodlawn to get these fresh donuts. I've been addicted since 2022.

Normally pretty good but this time received an order of undercooked sausage and cold congealed bacon on what was supposed to be a biscuit as well. Ordered through delivery service they are five minutes away and only took five minutes so it wasnt the drivers fault. Attached photo is how the bacon came. With hard grease

I recommend trying this place, I?ve been looking for a donut shop besides Dunkin? Donuts ( their donuts are nasty) and I stopped at this store . Right off the bat I was greeted with kindness and donuts were homemade and delicious. I ordered a dozen donuts and a breakfast sandwich and a couple croissant rolls with sausage. Everything was so good. I?m from out of state and I also like to give my business to mom and pop shops like this rather than a big corporation.definitely will be back before I leave town.

Great place for delicious donuts and other breakfast items! The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The prices are fair and the facility is clean. The location is right across from Tennova and other medical offices. If you have morning appointments and need a quick bite after or before your appointment.

Super great blueberry cake donut, and he was kind enough to include some free donut holes too! Thanks so much!

Love coming here in the mornings! Everyone is always so nice, and the owner always comes out to make sure to say hi to me when I come by! The donuts are delicious, and the service is quick!

Honestly Krispy Cream or Dunkin would be a better choice if this is where you plan on going. The employee there seems like she doesn?t care and the donuts were bleh. She seems bothered the fact you were coming in and making her have to work. Only when I said well ok then thanks anyways and proceeded to walk out did she desire to put in even a little effort. Skip this place and go ANYWHERE else.

The owner is very friendly and incredible guy. Donuts are delicious. The best I've ever had anywhere

We love this place, friendly staff, great donuts!! My husband says their apple fritters are the best!! I usually get a cinnamon roll or donut, today I tried the butter roll, fabulous!! It was warm which made it even better. They truly do have the Best Donuts!!

So glad we stopped here for some great breakfast items. Great blueberries donut.

The maple donut was soft, fresh, and delicious. My son ordered the blueberry donut and he said it was good. Didn't like the sour cream donut but maybe if I tried it before the maple it would've tasted better.

Very good donuts. Definitely prefer over most other shops. I love that they are open so early but sad when I want a donut after business hours. There are only 2 people running it so short hours & large orders must placed the night before. This avoids excess loss when too much is made & the donut craze & sales die down!

Solid donut shop unlike Shipley?s in Clarksville ??

This is a wonderful Little Gem! The atmosphere is very plain but they make up for it in fantastic Donuts. They have a very wide variety to choose from and it's always fresh. We have taken people here after church on many occasions to try the kolaches and they are fantastic! I highly recommend the jalapeno kolaches. And don't even bother with the small ones because they'll just make you want to go back and get the large ones. They are that good!

These donuts are the BEST! They're always fresh and delicious. This dozen costed $9.40. It had 2 pink sprinkled, 1 blue sprinkled, 1 Red Velvet cake, 3 round unfilled glazed, 2 Boston Cream, 1 Blueberry cake, 1 Cinnamon-Sugar twist, and 1 Eclair. They have a wonderful selection. And, the staff are very friendly.

Always have the absolute best experience any time I visit! The donuts are soo good! The kolaches are amazing as well and everyone is always really sweet and helpful!

I love this place!! The donuts are to die for and taste so fresh. I love the breakfast sandwiches too; now I?m originally from NJ so I have high standards for breakfast sandwiches and this place SURPASSES my standards!! This is my new favorite spot! Support local business! Worth every penny!

Ordered from them thru Uber eats and received one donut Instead of my whole order. When I called to see what happened they did not try to do anything to fix the situation. Will never be going here again.

New favorite place! Ordered a sausage egg and cheese croissant (no egg) and a cake donut. I'm pregnant atm so eggs specifically bother me, this was the only place to actually take off the egg! Their prices are so affordable, look at the prices at panera and then look at this place, you'll never go to panera again. Even places like burger king and McDonald's are overpriced compared to here. But the QUALITY. This was the freshest, best tasting croissant, let me tell you. My husband loved his cake donut. You

I would stop by at 5a on my way to work.. Fresh, great tasting and hot. Clean as well. Very nice people.

We love to get kolaches from here!

I'm not a donut guy but my wife loves them. This is her go to place. I had a kalash (i think lol). Nice that they serve something other than donuts. Very friendly staff and very fresh. I don't eat cheese and she made me a fresh one without cheese.

Donuts were very good! Fresh! I pointed to an apple fritter in the case, but got a bear claw instead. No matter! It was great. Will go after a fritter later on. My first, but not last visit.

Our favorite donut shop!

This is the best one !!!! They have another location on tiny town & it doesn't come close to the one on Dunlop. This location is so much better , the Kolaches here are much bigger , better tasting !!!!! It's so much better!!! My son & I eat here every morning. We love it & i will never go back to the one on Tiny town.

The guy was so sweet and the donuts were amazing i would go back

They open at 4:30. I came at 5:20. 80% of the shelves were empty and they said it would be another 20 minutes until they had glazed donuts. That's the basic donut. If you're not going to be prepared, don't open so early. Better off going to Shipley's.

We were looking for doughnuts on National Doughnut Day, and our road trip had taken us to Clarksville, Tennessee. I didn't want to go to some chain that we could have eaten in Colorado, so I went for Best Donuts. We were not expecting them to be so good! Light, fluffy doughnuts, great flavor, reasonable prices, friendly staff! Thanks for living up to your name!

We love best donuts! They are smaller in size, but make up for it in quality! We prefer these donuts over any other kind!

We place a rather large order everytime we get the opportunity to visit here and they are fantastic at meeting our needs, even goes as far as making something for our little ones if they have already sold out of the product. Great place. fabulous people that puts a lot of effort into their product. Worth a visit.

The best local donut shop Clarksville has to offer! We have been coming here weekly for our favorite donuts! Friendly staff, the donuts are made fresh, and it?s close to our house!

Love this place . I come here a lot and have always had a great experience. Put this place on your list. You will love it.

Great donuts great prices and friendly lady to get your donuts ready. Worth the trip. Get there early for best choices

Eat here every morning with my grandparents when I come to visit. Food is delicious and the people here are super friendly!! Everyone should stop in for breakfast!!

Excellent donuts but you really MUST try their kolaches, they are fantastic and have become a regular thing at our house.

The other donuts are just basic but the Butter Roll is amazing.

Every time we've gone, the milk in the coolers have either been expired or close to expiring. Donuts are tasty, though!

My kids favorite place to get donuts we go almost every week

Friendly and fast. Very tasty.

Best place to grab a quick breakfast snack, donut, brewed coffee or drink. Always very friendly at both locations and always fresh.

Food is always fresh and warm! The service is consistently friendly no matter when we go in. We highly recommend!

Best really is the best. Not like other airy dry donuts these are awesome. Only place I will get them.

The butter rolls are amazing!!! I have been turned on to them by a couple co-worker and they are all I want from a donut shop

They need to wash there hands. Wear ppe. And check the dates on products being sold. I hate buying food to get sick.

Good donuts but a bit pricey for my taste. They could also use a military discount to support our troops.

Great service. Even better donuts. I will be going back for sure.

i am in love with this place. staff is so pleasant, it?s always clean and nicely decorated, and the kolaches are absolutely to die for.

They live up to their namesake, for sure! Blueberry & peanut chocolate are our favorites
