Customer Reviews

Nice people and good donut shop. I love that it tastes homemade. First thing I did when I was in town was to stop by here.

I made a special trip with my son specifically to try these donuts, and it was a complete disappointment. Despite being first in line, our simple order for two donuts was pushed aside while the cashier served others who came after us. When our turn finally came, the donuts were pulled straight from a refrigerator?no greeting, no explanation, just handed over and rushed out. My son?s sprinkle donut tasted exactly like something from 7-Eleven?nothing special. My cake donut was rock-hard, barely frosted, smel

We went twice and both times we had a great experience! This place is the perfect example of why you should choose to eat local. The manager was super nice and talked to us the whole time we waited for our order which was six breakfast sandwiches and when the sandwiches were ready the cook himself brought them up to us and they were phenomenal! I would much rather go here than a Dunkin? Donuts or any other fast food breakfast place.

Dropped in for a quick breakfast to take back to the Airbnb. I personally had a regular glazed donut- only because they really don?t have a lot of variety. The donut was just ok. It was dry. It was also very dense, which isn?t a big deal except for it being so dry. I needed to take a drink pretty much after every bite.

This place is a definite stop if you?re in the area! The doughnuts were delicious and they had many flavors to choose from. The staff/owner was amazing in accommodating my husbands breakfast order, making it dairy free. We appreciated the small town feel and excellent service.

Such a fun spot in White Stone! It is a prime location and very cute on the inside as well as plenty of seating outside! The donuts were good. We got an assorted half dozen with a Boston cr?me, birthday cake, chocolate, and the ?Homer donut?. All were great! On top of everything else the staff was lovely!

Amazing customer service and amazing food. My first time having a breakfast sandwich on a Bismarck it was the best thing I?ve ever had. I did have to get a couple of donuts also lol. In town working for 3 months and will definitely been coming back while I?m here. Recommend to everyone.

Delicious sandwiches, tasty donuts, and great service ? ended up going two days in a row!

Donuts are delicious, breakfast sandwiches are delicious and the coffee too! Every time I go in the employees are so sweet! Outdoor seating if you bring the dogs. Vegetarian breakfast options as well :) Donuts in my picture are lemon cream, strawberry shortcake, and maple bacon. The lemon cream is probably the best I?ve had since a kid!

Waaaaay too expensive. Just now, I was charged $9.00 for a 10 ounce coffee and one doughnut. I am a big believer in supporting local businesses but there is a limit. Prices for this place shyrocketed after the pandmic and have just lept soaring higher. No more for me.

What an incredible place in the heart of paradise!! Found on our first day in town and will be back every day we?re here! Doughnuts are AMAZING!!! Don?t miss this place!! (Love the oreo, maple bacon, and triple chocolate doughnuts!!) SO GOOD!!!

Very clean and cute shop. Easy parking, plenty of space inside, and tables spaced out. Nice variety of donuts, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. Typically, for us, the plainer the donut, the better. Some of the fancier ones get really heavy and dry.

I can rarely pass up a donut, and passing by this morning was no exception! Churro, Honey River Pistachio, Maple Bacon, Fruity Pebbles.... I went with the Maple Bacon and was not disappointed!! Perfection!

Friendly, fresh, and delicious! Sandwiches, coffee, and donuts all great!! It can get busy but totally worth it.

A welcome new addition to the ever evolving town of White Stone is Chesapeake Donuts. I finally got a chance to sample the donuts, as their hours of operation are somewhat limited and weren't meshing with mine. Since I could only stand outside and get my donuts from a cart, anything but plain seemed to be at risk of melting in 95+ degrees of Summer! Everything looked clean, fresh, and tidy ... the help was pleasant and knowledgeable, ready to serve. A friend of mine wanted a plain cake style and I like

Never ate a donut breakfast sandwich before but this one here ?.. that shit bussin baby omg delicious. And the frappe (mocha) took coffee to a new level !!! McDonald?s ain?t got shit in their frappes. My new favorite breakfast spot whenever I travel to Kilmarnock Va. My advice go taste for yourself

Unfortunately I have to update my review. For the second time this place is out of donuts. Drove 40 minutes with my child on Spring Break - arrived at 11am - and they ?didn?t anticipate how busy it would be.? Some advice: get a school calendar. Great donuts, cute place, horribly run business unfortunately. ?? Best donuts around if you ask me! My partner is a donut connoisseur and former chef and we were both impressed. Interior is beautiful. They serve Blanchard?s coffee and the food looks great too. Wor

Appreciated almost everything here! The sausage egg and cheese was unreal. The basic donuts, especially yeast, stood out. Shockingly, the only minus was the premium Samoa.

The coffee was delicious iced and strong for an already hot day! I live for doughnuts! They are my favorite food! This place really focuses and takes care when it comes to icing flavor. The homer didn?t just taste ? pink? it tasted like strawberry! Their yeast doughnut recipe was a little dense for me but that didn?t stop me from trying everyone of my dozen! Their cake recipe is on point! These guys take their doughnuts seriously!

So January 28th they closed without warning after scheduling a pickup order with me for the 28th. Well today the manager came through on his word and made up for the goof and I super appreciate it my kids are beyond happy and the doughnuts are just amazing in taste and display!! I HIGHLY recommend chesapeake doughnut company to anyone that wants to try fresh everyday handmade doughnuts!! We can't wait to go back and try the other items they offer:)

My son - Aiden and I had the fortune of stopping at this establishment before we venturing to the steamboat museum. Upon stepping into Chesapeake Donut Company, we were greeted by delicious smells and smiling faces. Our order was taken by the lovely Christian. After we spoke briefly about our trip up from VB to check out the museum. She throw in some extra donuts for us and the museum staff. (End of the day - lucky us ??) Ms. Candee replied a big THANK YOU and Merry Christmas! Aiden and I want to wish you a

Great service, clean facility, friendly employees, awesome sandwiches and donuts and lots of unique varieties ro choose from! Our first tike here and we will definitely be back!

Best Donuts around!! I drive over an hour for this place! Ordering online and picking up is best to ensure you get what you want before they?re sold out because they?re that delicious.

I hate giving bad reviews. I am sorry to say I am not impressed. I LOVE doughnuts, donuts. How ever you spell them. I went two different times at different times of the day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon, Both time the doughnuts were dry and the frosting was hard and crumbly. I also bought a filled doughnut and there was barely any filling in it. I have not tried anything else on their menu but don?t think I will go back.

Super friendly staff. Delicious breakfast sandwiches. Donuts are fresh and generously iced / frosted (exactly how they should be!). Prices are fair, too.

Very disappointed, donuts we're stale. $32 a dozen, outrageous! Ill stick with Krispy....... Service was very friendly and professional. Won't be stopping in again.

Nice location. Love the old world feel of the place with open kitchen and painted tin ceiling. And the doughnuts look like works of art.

I had SUCH a good caramel latte. Food & service were great!

Doughnuts made daily with organic ingredients. The doughnuts sell out quickly, so you need to get there early to order your baker dozen.

Simply love this place. Great breakfast sandwiches and the donuts are excellent. Everything is fresh so make sure you get there early - they might run out of options as the day goes by.

I'm a local and visit frequently. I just love the staff, especially Sara and Christian because they've been there so long, know my order and are always so friendly even though they're slammed busy. Greg is a baking genius, very knowledgeable and makes a killer cake doughnut. He always makes time to talk to me! I get the pumpkin latte that they keep in for me year round.... it's amazing! Best in NNK! I will always be back. Thank you guys for always taking such great care of me ??

Today I had my faith restored in Great Customer Service. In today?s world it isn?t that often that you come across a business that understands a problem and works with you. Today I went to Chesapeake Doughnut shop, place an order and went to paid for it and that when panic set in I left my wallet at home. My home is 20 plus miles away. Working with Kayla and her Manager Tom a solution was figured out and I left happy and they got paid. Wow a place that offers amazing food and Outstanding Service. Thanks fro

Awesome donuts and staff is very polite and accommodating. Delivered to my car and made adjustments for donuts that would take a bit longer to prepare! I will definitely be back!

Good coffee moderately friendly. I just stopped for coffee on a ride but thought it was odd that they only had one doughnut left at noon.

I go by the donut shop on my way to get fabric and today I stopped in since I saw it was open. I can tell you it was amazing. Very helpful and made suggestions for me. I purchased 2 boston creme, 2 lemon filled donuts. They are so delicious. I would highly recommend!

We popped in on Sunday morning to sample the doughnuts?tried the lemon filled, it was delicious! They also served Blanchard?s coffee, which is a bonus. Ordered a chicken melt on the way out the door - and another SCORE! The pesto, sun dried tomato, and cheese were a WIN! The doughnuts are great - but everyone should give their lunch sammies a try!

Pre-ordered and paid for three dozen mixed donuts to be picked up at a specific day and time. When I got there it wasn?t ready and it took them a second to find the order. They started placing the most inexpensive, cake doughnut, in the boxes. I let them know that when I ordered and paid, I specifically asked for no plain cake donuts. Those were taken out of the boxes and then correct donuts were then placed in the boxes. I guess there was just no communication there.

Stopped in to try the coffee...the dark roast was pretty good. Tried out one of the donuts but not to my liking...therefore no rating on the food...very friendly staff...the girl who took care of us went out of her way to make sure everything was a great experience.

1st time visiting here a couple weeks ago. The donuts were delicious, and the employees were extremely friendly and helpful. We are going to try the breakfast sandwiches with our doughnuts next time.

There were many logistical issues with the kitchen. The coffee, donuts, and food had to cross the entire kitchen to be delivered, these should be by the delivery counter to save time and prevent people running past each other. The person taking orders should also be the one picking the donuts as they know the order being placed as it happens. The donuts should also be placed in the same spot by flavor so that the person picking the doughnuts doesn't have to search for each one. The donut fridge should als

The donuts were good, but not good enough for what they charge. They shorted us on our order but eventually made good on them after a few phone calls. Haven't decided if we'll go back yet

Much nicer online than in person. Bang average food & coffee, servers totally flustered with just 3 customers waiting. On a busy intersection with a table wobbling more than a seesaw. Updated the grades slightly after giving it a second chance, luckily with different staff!

Great addition to White Stone and Lancaster County Virginia. Bismarck Breakfast Sandwiches are so, so good! They are happy to make a dairy free Sandwich for both breakfast and lunch. The lunch offerings are freshly made and delicious.

The two people who helped my wife were just fantastic. My wife was having an issue with her cell phone and within a matter of minutes the was corrected. The doughnuts are out of this world. The next we are in the area will stopping by to get some more.

Can?t speak of the food. We were excited to try it but we have tried to go several times and they weren?t open during their listed open hours. Lights were on and could see employees in the building but doors were locked. They saw us but didn?t even come to door to explain what they weren?t open.

Nice little spot. Have a few tables to enjoy inside. I ordered to go some donuts a chicken, egg cheese sandwich with coffee. The regular yeast glazed donut was delicious and the sandwich was pretty good. Coffee is by Blanchard's. Service quick and nice.

Disorganized. May do well with one or two customers. But 3+, they get confused. Still waiting on biscuits to be made over 30 minutes later. Watched as others got their food faster. Had to ask what the hold up was before they realized they had not started on biscuits yet.

Donuts and breakfast sandwiches are delicious. I use online ordering and my order is always ready when I arrive. Staff is friendly, courteous and very accommodating. The Cali dangerous is delicious.

This place has AMAZING donuts. I can't rave enough about them. It's difficult to find a place that has both cake and yeast donuts. We tried a variety and we're very pleased.

While the location was wonderful, having to watch 4 people doing different jobs and only one person taking orders and filling doughnut boxes was painful. I ordered a medium coffee and a doughnut. It took 14 minutes (according to the receipt) to fill. In the meantime, people that were in line behind me were served dozens of doughnuts. The coffee wasn't great. It tasted watered down or just weak. The doughnut (maple bacon) was cold and chewy. I have not been here before, so this may be the style of doughnuts

Great place for lunch and donuts!

I know it says ?Doughnut? but they got me in the door by ?Breakfast? on the sign?although it is not a sit down to order breakfast I have to say that was the best Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich I have ever had! I?ll be back. Too bad I can?t have the sweet stuff I bet they are also amazing. My only complaint is, drum roll please?they didn?t talk me into getting TWO!!! Haha

Been here many times for donuts and coffee. Expensive to be sure but a nice treat every once and awhile. But a few days ago my son and I got a couple of breakfast sandwiches (a first for me) and two large coffees. The coffee was good as usual ($5 or so each) but the sandwiches were a disaster. Clearly microwaved....way over microwaved at that. A kind of puddle of bread, cheese and sausage. Disappointing. Guys, for $20 you gotta do better that that.

Homemade style donuts on the Northern Neck in White Stone VA? What's not to love. As you'd expect, early birds get the freshest and biggest selection in the morning. On my second visit I missed out on the Boston cream, but that meant I tried some kind of delicious lemony version I wouldn't have ordered otherwise. I'm also a latte lover, so after indulging in a gourmet donut, I settle in with a simple cinnamon dusted cake donut with my latte. Such a treat and my friends and I actually enjoy standing in line

Fabulous - delicious coffee, yeast doughnuts rock, and super sweet staff. Highly recommend stopping by for a sip and a bite!

I am a regular at the White Stone location. The donuts are absolutely scrumptious but it?s the people that make it really special. Gregg, Sarah and Christian are top notch and make the CDC my first stop in the AM. Keep up the great work!

OMG! Best lemon curd donuts in the universe! Delicious and not too sweet, but perfect. My favorite as of now, still trying other flavors is the Pistachio honey glazed donut which is reminiscent of a delicious piece of baklava. Pumpkin spice latte is to die for! I had it in soy milk which was amazing. Try it when you are in the neighborhood, it is worth every penny and all organic and locally sourced.

Donuts are okay, people are nice. However, there is never less than a 20 minute wait and upwards of 45 minutes for donuts? that are premade. You might think that ordering through their website would lessen your wait, however, it said every item was out of stock i.e. didn?t work, so no luck that way. If you have a spare hour and don?t mind waiting in the sun or a cramped donut lobby, I say go for it. Otherwise, you could run to 7eleven around the corner and get some? they won?t be organic but they also won?t

I was passing through after a meeting on Saturday morning in White Stone and decided to grab some breakfast, my wife had told me about the avocado toast breakfast sandwich that was new but when I stopped in they said it wouldn?t be out until the following weekend, but the kitchen heard me asking about it and decide to fix one so I could try it. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had, if your looking for a good breakfast sandwich I strongly suggest trying this one.

If i am driving through Whitestone in the morning, it's pretty much a guarantee that I'll stop and get a breakfast sandwich. Ever hear of second breakfast? How about elevensies? One day I'll have to try the donuts because there is a steady stream of folks coming in to get them.

Donuts and coffee!! There are small tables to sit at if you want to eat there. Bathroom if you need it. The Donuts are freshly baked and wonderful. It's hard to compare Donuts, but if you've only had Dunkin Donuts, these will blow you away!

2nd time going here. 1st time was just a quick stop in for a couple of donuts to go. They tasted ok but in my opinion - very overpriced. Stopped in again for a 2nd time last weekend, this time for something more substantial to eat and I knew they had sandwiches. There was only one other group eating, a lady and her child. It also appeared that one of the employees had her child there at work with her sitting at one of the tables, which is fine I guess if there?s no other option. Ordered two sandwiches (chic

Donuts are good but the ?barista? couldn?t take our order, made several mistakes on it, and seemed completely dissociated with us as customers. Maybe because their electronic payment solution doesn?t allow tipping via card or Apple Pay, just a cash tip jar. So my guess is, he was not motivated. I drove way too far out for this. Don?t recommend unless you?re in the area and you can deal with being treated as if you?re interrupting someone?s day.

This place definitely needs some improvements. They wait until after you?ve ordered and paid to tell you they?re out of what you ordered. Some of the doughnuts were decent but others weren?t even edible. The coffee was great the first day so we came back and got the same EXACT thing the next day and it was awful. Wouldn?t recommend.

I'll say this with the disclaimer that we came on a Monday after 4th of July, so it was busy. But the wait was entirely too long (almost an hour) and by the time we got to order, the doughnuts we wanted were already sold out. Big bummer. And this was at 945am. It seems like they should have planned better on quantity of the selection. Also, it did not seem to run efficiently from the person taking orders. She was a bit all over the place. I would try it again on a non-holiday to see if the experience was an

Great spot center of town. Good looking building inside and out. Donuts and coffee were good. FOH service really needs to be trained. I get it, covid, great resignation etc. etc... but if your going to hire someone teach them how to greet customers, offer a product, a service... upsell. Increase indoor seating. If you run out of donuts, CLOSE for the day.

We love it here. Every time we are in the area we stop after Mass. Every doughnut is amazing and the coffee is excellent. A must stop if you are near by.

The building and grounds are wonderful... Don't expect the same with service or products. The donut seems rather small for $2.25, not to mention the breakfast sandwich, 1 slice bacon, more melted cheese on paper than the sandwich. Had to ask for napkins!,

While the food was good, service was not. I ordered two sandwiches and one came out wrong. Now that I?m ok with because things happen, BUT when you get my order fixed and throw it in a bag on the counter and proceed to let me sit there for 10 minutes and not say a word to me?.well that?s poor service. I sat there and watched her give everyone there sandwiches and when I make a comment of ?are you serious?? She then said ?oh your order is on the counter!? This was my first time coming in here and sorry to sa

Got 15 donuts between our 6 adults and 2 toddlers, as well as a pair of breakfast sandwiches, which were on 'bismarks' aka an unsweetened yeasted donut dough fried to biscuity perfection. The eggs were freshly scrambled and cooked juuuust right, as was the bacon and the sausage (although the bacon is actually just a little more expensive, the sausage is actually significantly larger/more filling). All donuts were quite tasty, even the 'stranger' ones (pistachio ??, lemon cream ??, jelly ??)

Super cute doughnut shop in the center of town serving up delicious treats made with whole ingredients. The Samoa has the perfect cake doughnut texture- soft on the inside and the perfect amount of crisp on the outside, with chocolate and toasted coconut on top you can?t go wrong! The Boston Cream is also a must try with real cream filling they make from scratch ??

This was my first visit because everything i go by, there is a line. The donuts are amazing and the staff is so nice. Can't wait to go back!

Love this place. Donuts reign at this establishment, but my daughter enjoys the other options on the menu. I do reccomend ordering online as this is the best way to make sure you are able to get your quota of donuts.

Top service and delicious coffee and donuts! You must try their donuts- I have many favorites and love them all! The chicken salad is awesome! Two locations!

Amazing breakfast sandwiches, doughnuts were killer! The ladies made a special doughnut with rainbow sprinkles just for my little girl, thank you so much!

Doughnut are good, but only problem is you google Chesapeake doughnut it advertise a gluten free donuts when don?t have any. I wish You get that changed. I had my doubts about this donuts shop having gf doughnut but still hopeful.

Wonderful in every way. The best donuts and service. Could do breakfast here every day. Can?t wait to come back to this special place.

I've stopped a few times while visiting. Doughnuts have been a little dry both times. I did have a decent avocado BLT last time.

Delicious doughnuts with creative flavor combinations. Friendly staff, will definitely be back!!

This place is great! Excellent Bacon maple doughnut and a coffee for breakfast on a Sunday morning from friendly staff. Highly recommend a visit if you're nearby.

Had a doughnut and avocado egg toast. It was very good and filling for a breakfast! Lunch menu looked just as yummy!

Randomly stopped here on my way through town. What a suprise, staff was friendly and helpful even helped me bring drinks out to my car. Bismarc sausage egg and cheese sandwhich was delicious. Definitely recommend.

Third time coming and the 3rd time they are out of doughnuts. Save yourself the time and go to the bakery down the street or 7-11. How is a doughnut shop always out of doughnuts!

One of the best donuts I've tasted but I'd skip the breakfast sandwiches. They are expensive for the size and not very tasty

The new outdoor seating area is great. The donuts are fantastic and the staff is very polite and courteous.

Super cute place and even gave our little guy a kids donut to try. Breakfast wrap was great.

Went 10/27/24, says they?re open at 7am, yet at 10:45 they were closed, very disappointing.

Great spot. We enjoyed on our vacation the amazing donuts. Which we went back to try the lunch options which also looked great.
