Customer Reviews

WOW! I do not recall EVER having doughnuts this fresh, soft, and unbelievably packed full of flavor. It is actually difficult to describe how different these fresh doughnuts are compared to doughnut chains. If you "like" Dunkin, Krispy Kreme or any other chain I can assure you that you will never think of doughnuts the same after eating at Crafted Dough. There is literally no comparison whatsoever. You should try this place, if for nothing else the experience. The quaint little store is at the end of Tennes

The donuts were sold out but the pop tart was delicious and the place is cute with nice people. The coffee is good here.

Whoo dang these donuts are delicious. Super fresh & fluffy. Great atmosphere too. Had a fresh donut on Saturday also which was a little greasy but still tasty. Great options.

Nantahala...hot is delicious, ?? next time trying it iced! For the guy, got him a PERFECT caramel macchiato. Got the last blackberry filled ?? and the last lemon filled doughnuts of the day... YUMMY-- get there early for the best selection ??

This place is ADORABLE! The donuts were delicious and the coffee was top notch. The vibe is so cozy and comfortable. The owners couldn't be more friendly! Everything is hand made and absolutely delicious. If you're in Murphy NC, do yourself a favor and stop in!

What a great little, not so small, little gem on Tennessee St in Murphy, NC. The coffee.... fantastic, the donuts.... ummm and the bagel,great. Loved the atmosphere, plenty of seating, and a nice sofa, chair conversation area. And there is outside counter seating to watch the world go by. The owners greeted and waited on us at the counter and walked around chatting with all seated who were sipping and munching. Price where what is to be expected.

We tried out Crafted Dough while we were on vacation in Murphy a few weeks ago. Their coffee and donut flavors are so good! I love S?mores so I got their ?Fire?s Creek? Iced Coffee. I tried a few other coffee shops in the area but this place is the best! We also got their maple bacon donut? sounds weird but it?s SO good. You have to try it! Not only were the products good, the owners were just as lovely! They helped to give us ideas of different places in the area to visit. If you?re in Murphy, you have to

Great crafted donuts ??. All fresh and handmade with unique flavors...the key lime pie was Amazing! The coffee is delicious as well. Plenty of space inside and out with ample parking. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Crafted Dough is the best donut shop we have ever visited!!! And this is not an exaggeration as we have visited many. We also asked Crafted Dough to make donuts for our small wedding on Nov 14 and it was best decision we made. Our guests RAVED about the quality and flavor of the donuts. They are the most fun and thought through flavors we have seen in donut shops!! A MUST VISIT!!

My wife and I come about twice a week whenever possible. The donuts (and the cinnamon rolls) are great, the coffee tasty, and the people friendly. Seating is spacious. The only thing I would change is how long they stay open. Would love to come in the late afternoon to enjoy some coffee, even if they run out of pastries!

At the recommendation of a friend, we visited Crafted Dough. The donut and pastry selection was extensive and the coffee options are endless. We chose an apple fritter and cinnamon roll to eat there. The crunchy apple fritter was substantial and excellent and the apple topping was delicious. It was easily held in hand. The cinnamon roll wasn't oversized so I didn't feel stuffed eating it. The cinnamon filling and cream topping weren't overly sweet so I didn't feel like I was eating a sugar bomb but it was a

Delicious coffee! Very cute theme and visually attractive drinks. Attentive staff and affordable prices. And wifi :)

Talk about Southern Charm! I can't say enough good about this place! Moved to Murphy a short while ago and found this spot as my local go to for a great breakfast, coffee, or just a good conversation! The owners Scott and Lisa are awesome people who genuinely care about their customers! Highly recommend!

I never had a donut, but looks like if you want one, you need to come early. The coffee is hands down the best around here though. They make it perfectly and not overly sweet.

I really enjoyed my cinnamon twist. It was large and soft and chewy. The coffee was good, and the classic rock playing in the background was a nice change.

Excellent coffee, friendly and welcoming employees, and very clean. Even the other customers were nice. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I decided to try one for the first time today. I had the crafted dough and drank the entire coffee! I'd have it again and again. Excellent experience.

We had the best experience at this beautiful little doughnut shop. It was so nice to meet the owners and learn about their business. We enjoyed it so much we returned just before we left town. A definite must for our next time down visiting.

Drove through and stopped here on the way to the dragon and wow this place has incredible freshly instore made donuts and coffee. A true hidden gem! The owner was chatting with us about cars the whole time too?great guy. Will be back!

First time trying Crafted Dough and couldn't be more excited. These donuts were everything and MORE, SO delicious!!! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Next time we come through Murphy, we WILL be stopping at Crafted Dough!!!

I am a huge fan of donuts.. was a little disappointed with the Bavarian cr?me donut not being stuffed full. When I bite into a cream filled doughnut, I want the donut to be completely full of cream, but this one was not and I was slightly sad. The Wellness Tea is delightful! All the other donuts looked really delicious and their coffee looked Great!

Great people and AMAZING donuts Soft and airy and full of flavor. There's not going to be a bad choice. The coffee is robust and they have a wide range of tea too!!!!

I walked in, it was my first time there. I went early since I didn't wanna wait. I have been wanting to visit for awhile now. The atmosphere was open and inviting which I liked and since it was early morning not many people yet which works for me cause anxiety. I wasn't rushed to decide either which is nice. They have so many options as well. I def wanna go back to try bagels next time. The doughnuts are delicious. The dough is airy and soft that it almost melts in your mouth as you eat it compared to most

This place is great, the donuts are delicious, they have scones, all different flavors of donuts and coffee (lattes and espressos, cold coffee, they also sell sourdough bread and bagels. The place is very nice and clean inside and the atmosphere is really nice. The people are great too. A must stop when in town

Stopped in Murphy for a comfort break and coffee, and came across Crafted Dough. OMGOODNESS this place is fabulous. The Boston Doughnut, Maple Bacon Doughnut, Blueberry Cobbler Doughnut are amazing. My son got the frozen caramel drink, hubby got the latte and I got a hot chocolate. All were delicious. The restroom was very clean. And the staff were all super friendly. Highly recommend.

Oh my gosh this is the best the frozen hot choclate was the best the apple fritter was yummy. You have to try this place if your in town and the atmosphere is amazing

Stop here. The donuts are delicious and priced to eat!! Coffee is great too. Nice atmosphere.

We love Crafted Dough. Each time we are in Murphy we stop by and get some delicious donuts and boozy coffee. Best Donuts in Murphy!

Best donuts around and I'm a donut junkie!! Absolute must if you're in the area!

This Coffee Shop is so amazing! The owners are the kindest, and have no problems helping with suggestions. The doughnuts are perfectly crafted, and the toppings are just as beautiful. Mouthwatering if I must say. I love coffee. It's my go to start of the day. I'm fully caffeinated before work and I love it! It feels, and taste like a coffee should every single time.. With a personal opinion applied, they definitely have a lot of coffee shops beat around here. Edit: I am still in awe of this bakery!This is

This is one of my go to coffee shops. They make a great Latte and some days I just can?t resist one of their donuts they?re always super fresh fluffy and delicious.

Here on a Saturday and it?s closed for a private event. Very disappointed to close down on a Saturday 11-2 . Hopefully it?s worth it! REPLY: I think as a small business, your response could be alot nicer as my family were not the only ones who left unhappy. Perhaps birthday parties could be done outside of operating hours , unless you make more money with kids birthday parties than serving the public. Plus you are closed Sunday-Tuesday. It's YOUR business, but I WON'T spend my money with you. Our ne

We enjoyed this place when we?ve come but sadly we?ve had 2 experiences driving 25 mins here and arriving after 1pm to a closed store and then listening to our toddler cry because we don?t get donuts. Do not rely on the hours posted.

Being new to area we were so thrilled to find this place! First visit this morning and it was totally worth it! Got a variety and they are amazing! My favorite though is the apple fritters. If you haven?t tried this place you are missing out!

Great coffee. Decadent donuts, muffins and amazing cinnamon rolls. For fun the boozy flights - so unexpected for a donut shoppe. Cool old warehouse setting with outdoor seating. Come relax and enjoy a real treat.

Best donuts! They are so gourmet, unique and heavenly ????. We were visiting the area for vacation and have a go to favorite shop to get donuts back home but this place is our new favorite. A family member said it would be worth moving here so they could keep coming back for more of these donuts.

The doughnuts & pastry are fantastic! The coffee is great, too. Nice place to sit with friends/family & enjoy all the treats Crafted Dough has to offer.

Came in on vacation and fell in love! The shop is adorable and everything my group tried got rave reviews!! Absolutely the best Boston Cream I have ever had!

The blueberry bagel with cream cheese is very good. Every coffee drink I have had was really good too. Donuts are great. I can?t wait to try the cinnamon roll!

Celebrated our son?s one year open heart surgery anniversary with custom donuts. The team at Crafted Dough went ABOVE and BEYOND to make this day special for us, even supplying our party with crayons and coloring pages with hearts on them. A day we won?t soon forget. So thankful!

Amazing donut/bagel options. Enjoyed a hot tea and the everything donut bagel! Super friendly employees

The baker obviously knows how to make good stuff and the prices are very reasonable. The attendant is lovely as well. I highly recommend trying the cold brew coffee and the cherry cobbler donut. Next time I will try the apple fritter.

One of the greatest coffee shops I?ve been to! made in house every morning.

We love love love Crafted Dough and drive from Blue Ridge Ga just to taste their delicious and unique flavors. You haven?t lived until you?ve tasted their Nutella Doughnut. If you love everything bagels the everything bagel doughnut is the most unique combination of an everything bagel and a sweet doughnut to include cream cheese in the middle. Their coffees and teas are also delicious and everything is served with a smile.

Amazing and fresh donuts!! Best donuts I have had in a long time. We will be back.

Absolutely the best doughnuts I have ever had! Highly recommend!!

Great coffee shop! Friendly and quality coffee & homemade baked goods!

Such a lovely establishment. Warm & inviting inside. Relaxing atmosphere. Delicious coffee. Variety of donuts to choose from. The donuts are delicious!! Plenty of seating. A couch to sit & read the local newspaper. The service is outstanding! Greeted right away with a smile & hello. Highly recommended. ???

We just stopped in for a cup of coffee. The homemade apple fritters and a white donut was singing my name, so of course I had to bring them home also. The owners? We?re so nice. He made us a great cup of coffee and when I tasted mine she immediately knew I needed it sweeter, she took it back and added just enough cane sugar to make it perfect for me. We have a few more days left of our vacation and I know we will be back there again before we leave. Great service is so hard to find these days so make sure

Upbeat environment to enjoy an amazing donut and your a.m. wake me up adult coffee blend ? ??

WOW. If you are a fan of donuts, pastries, or coffee you must stop here. The donuts are divine. We have tried the s'mores, pumpkin pie, blueberry cobbler, Oreo, Nutella filled, and pumpkin spice. Every flavor is perfect and the texture of the donuts are perfectly fluffy and melt in your mouth. We had the cinnamon roll and double chocolate chip espresso muffin - so delicious. And the coffees are incredible. Great quality coffee and the flavor options are so fun and well made! If you are in the area definitel

We went to Crafted Dough for breakfast. The donuts were delicious and the service was superb. Very kind staff! Highly recommend.

This place is a must if you are in Murphy, NC or anywhere nearby. Upon entrance you are greeted with big smiles and welcoming hellos. Impressive gourmet donut selections with an endless coffee menu. I wish we had one here in Florida but will stop in next time we are on vacation. Keep up the good work, you guys are great!

Possibly the best donut I?ve had. And I should know a good donut. It?s my job.

Very well crafted. I have gone several times and it is now my go to spot instead of the usual pizza cutter places. If we had more places like this in the world it would go along way to make it that much more tasteful.

Last visit - overcharged on six (6) donuts. Strike 1 Today, after checking website, drove 25 miles only to find small handwritten sign saying closed. Strike 2 Donuts are good. Not THAT good There won?t be a strike 3 You?re out!

Clearly made with passion and love, these doughnuts have an authentic taste that stands out from the rest. We will drive our 2.5 hours to get these wonderful treats. Absolutely, the best doughnuts made! Beautiful, wonderful owners. They greet you, check on you. Feel like home. Beautiful and inviting decor.

The donuts are out of this world, and I can't get over how kind everyone was when I went. I don't believe in telling other people how bad a restaurant is without going to see for myself, but this place will not let you down.

Loved the Pub and lemon donut. Apple fritter was also excellent. Went twice in two days while in town.

The taste of the donuts were delicious! The apple filled one was very yummy. I was not a huge fan of how thick the donut was but that?s just my opinion lol. Girl at the counter was very nice and professional. I would recommend!

I can?t say enough about this great shop, and the owners! Fantastic coffee, great donuts, and the bestttt cinnamon rolls! They are so kind, friendly, and they put up with us daily, and all of our special requests!! Huge favorite of ours!

Selection was limited when we were there, but everything was great that we had.

YUM these donuts are to die for! Wife and I came here for breakfast and we both swore we'd never had better donuts. The owner and employee were both super welcoming and kind. They do boozy drinks and donuts, but we didn't get them this time (maybe another time!)

We went for the first time today! The doughnuts are awesome, highly recommend the strawberry! The atmosphere is great and the staff were very friendly!! Best doughnuts around with a great drink selection!

I recently visited Murphy NC from Florida and took my family to Crafted Dough..describing our experience as phenomenal isn?t even fair..the quality, taste, and freshness is beyond amazing..the Oreo cookie and PBJ doughnuts were absolutely outstanding and add in Scott?s espresso equals deliciousness..Thank You Lisa and Scott for the great atmosphere, service and amazing doughnuts!!

On behalf of legends steakhouse, we would like to say how much we all LOVE this place. So clean and friendly and always puts a smile on our face! I went to school with kiley, and she?s just as sweet as she was in school. My personal favorite is the blueberry filled and the apple filled

Very nice little donut shop that we stumbled across randomly. They have a nice assortment of donuts, and an interesting selection of boozy drinks and pastries to pick from. The staff were very friendly.

Stopped in to purchase some donuts for the girls at my bank and for our house. OMG the donuts were delicious and very fresh. The hardest part of this visit was figuring out which ones to chose. They had some you never see like s'mores, salted caramel just to name a few. The filled donut's couldn't have taken more filling they were stuffed. Everyone who ate them were commenting on how delicious they were. It's great to have a coffee and donut shop that you look forward to going to. I know I will be a regu

Came in on a Friday was not busy at all. I thought this was a doughnut place but turns out it?s mainly drinks and for food they didn?t have even half of what was on there menu, wish the employees would have informed us while we were waiting. I will update my review if i decide to visit again. But seems like a nice place for drinks.

Delicious offerings. A while back they got lavender syrup in just for me! I can't believe I forgot to leave them a review just for that!! Really friendly local folk. Definitely go here before you try and track down a Starbucks.

I can't say enough good things about this place! All staff are so nice and helpful, donuts flavorful and have a perfect texture, and cost is very reasonable. I will definitely be back! Support local : )

Hands down, the absolute best donuts I have EVER tasted! They are made fresh daily and are sheer perfection. I only wish there was a higher rating than 5 stars.

Seriously good Maple Bacon donut at this shop tucked into the corner of a strip of storefronts. Doughy center, with tasty maple frosting generously studded with fresh, crispy bacon.

Absolutely loved the experience at Crafted Dough! The raspberry lemon sweet roll as well as the coffee I had were and incredible, and the staff were very kind. Would highly recommend.

Wow!! Just WOW! Super cute place, outstanding service and the BEST donuts in the world. I had the boozy lemoncello/blueberry and my husband had the Nutella and a Pineapple Upside Down. Cannot wait to go back!

Awesome place! Great people, Great donuts and coffee.

Probably the best donut I've ever eaten. Coffee was amazing, too. Don't miss this place!!

Best Boston Creme donut I have ever had and the apple fritters are excellent!

Great donut shop. The different selection and flavors satisfied my whole family. Service was friendly and very homey!

Stopped in for a delicious blackberry glazed donut, but I had to settle for the maple bacon. Still very yummy!!

The chai pumpkin donuts are amazing! We visited town on a vacation and this was the perfect place for a coffee break and snack. Would absolutely visit again!

These donuts are massive! My fiance raved about the Nutella filled

Best Boston Cream doughnut I've ever had and awesome coffees! Excellent service and cool people as well.
