Customer Reviews

Danny? Donuts has one of the most amazing breakfast burritos! It has eggs, cheese, bacon and? Chorizo! I?m sure if you?re not into chorizo you can get it without, but man what a hot and tasty combo this is! They also have packets of Texas Pete?s if you want to amp it up the spice level a notch! I now have to stop in here anytime I?m in Gainesville in the mornings to get one of these burritos as well as their iced coffee which love as well! And obviously they have amazing Donuts so if I have my kids wit

If you?ve never been to Danny?s, you need to try this place out! They are my favorite donuts in Gainesville. Forget the chains and head to this local shop for light and fluffy sweet and sugary deliciousness! Their fritters, red velvet cake donut and cream filled are my faves. I have a suggestion for you Danny?s! Please offer gift cards or gift certificates! I want to share the joy of your awesome donuts to my coworkers and family as gifts but it?s tough to do with no gift certificates!

I think this location is absolutely phenomenal. You can taste the freshness of the donuts as soon as you bite into them and I think the prices are fair. I work in the mornings during the week and am so thankful they are open on the weekends so I can grab a fresh donut. They do run out quick though!

Had a great bacon ham, egg and cheese croissant. Just as good as Danny's #1 but better prices! Only $5.50 as of May 2025.

Great local Mom and pop doughnut shop! Alot of different flavors and priced well. Doughnuts are soft and you can taste the difference in the dough. Has a very natural taste and texture compared to other big box places. Love that Danny's is close to where I live also. Highly recommended and staff is courteous and friendly. Try the bacon bits doughnut, highly delectable!

This is always so good. The breakfast burrito is always hot and fresh. The shell is soft and stuffed full. The price is great and the people working at all the Danny's doughnuts are always so friendly. The pictures don't do this burrito justice. Definitely worth the time and money.

Good cream filled when they have them. I have been to the one on Dawsonville hwy and the one on main street. The Dawsonville hwy location could use a little cleaning that's why 4 instead of 5.

Great donuts always fresh, great customer service, and prices are better than any other donut chain!

Donuts are not made daily, Donuts are stale, Very rude lady behind counter lied to me about fresh donuts made daily, I will never buy from any Danny?s again

Very friendly, local spot! Definitely, can?t get these varieties just anywhere. Check them out!

Danny?s is always a go to for inexpensive specialty donuts! The atmosphere is a little rocky but honestly, look right past it. The donuts are worth it.

Donuts look and taste delicious!!! You won't be disappointed!

Incredibly good quality and value! Please support this small business! They've got fresh and tasty donuts that don't cost an arm and a leg! Their Apple fritters are the best I've tried!

We've stopped at Danny's for doughnuts a couple of times and have been pleased each time. Today we also tried a burrito and was really surprised at how good it was. Definitely strongly recommend this small store.

My spouse does not eat a lot of sugar. I talked them into stopping there one day. They had the freshest, best tasting, not oily like some places. I would give them even more stars. My spouse said they were really really good

the doughnuts at Danny's are very good. The breakfast items are also good as I've ate them all. I rarely get donoughts because they're so high in calories, AND the coffee here is bad. Doughnuts and coffee go well together, but not this coffee. I do it better myself at home. McDonald's is better. Danny's has got to up their coffee game if they expect to grow. QUESTION :whoever heard of a doughnut shop with bad coffee. ANSWER: I have. Danny's Doughnuts.

Danny's Donuts now has multiple locations, and at any of their locations you can get some delicious donuts! They have great donut holes and classic donuts, but also amazing flavor opportunities. I did not realize that I LOVE blueberry cake donuts until I tried Danny's and it is amazing. My wife love the maple bacon donut. Lots of options, lots of flavors. You can not go wrong.

The lady is very rude. I went to wash my hands in the bathroom and she started yelling at me saying I didn?t flush the toilet when I only washed my hands. She also acted like it was a problem when I order a breakfast sandwich. Very rude and I?m going to make sure none of my friends or family ever go to a Danny donuts again.

I have been coming here for a long time and I originally gave them a 5 star review. Recently I noticed that when the lady rings me up, my total is higher than when the man rings me up. The price for my 2 donuts is listed on the menu so I asked her how much is the pint of milk. She said after tax it's $3.20. I said oh wow those are around $1.40 at Publix. She said then buy it at Publix. I said ok I guess I will, and maybe I should just buy my donuts there while I'm at it. She said go ahead I don't care. I to

Great Donuts! I got six & didn't even make it out of the parking lot before eating one!

Love Danny's donuts!! The are so fresh there is a Duncan donuts walking distance but they so dry , I prefer Danny's donuts they are great

It's a shop that's not well known, but has amazing food. Their doughnuts are really freash, along with everything else on the menu. 10/10, would recommend.

Best donuts ever! My nephew, who never gets excited about anything, bought a half dozen to take home. They are sweet and flavorful. I especially love the sour cream donuts and the apple fritters. Everybody who has them loves them. Just yum!

Delicious donuts - try the Boba and bear claws. Handmade donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Fresh coffee and smoothies. Order 5 boxes for your next business meeting or wedding. You won't be disappointed.

Good coffee, the sour cream doughnuts are the best unglazed I think but I like either. The chocolate cream and chocolate glazed are good ,but the Bear claws are great made with chunks of Apple in a not so sweet sauce! Mm mm good. The service and employees are friendly and helpful. I can see why all the first responders eat there.????

This is a late posting but mid August I went here to get donuts for the nurses at the hospital. As my uncle had just passed and the hospice department was so good to him and I wanted to get them a gift. I remembered when we were there with him and had doubts for ourselves the nurses all recognized the white box and raved about them. I had mentioned to the lady this story and she threw in some extra donuts for the nurses! The donuts are unbeatable in their tastiness; defiantly deserve a 5-star all by themsel

They have great donuts but since covid started the icing is what I call "barely there." By the time you get the donuts home the icing is almost all gone off the donuts because they touch and its on too thin. They would be delicious if not for that.

Stopped in today (5/19/21) because I had been wanting to try the doughnuts here ever since I moved to Georgia last year. I wish I had made my first visit here a lot sooner! Not only were the doughnuts delicious, but the people working were super nice and answered our questions about what each of the pastries were. I'm already looking forward to stopping in again in the near future.

We used Danny's Donuts for our daughter's wedding and the staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful. This is the type of vendor you want to use for your large event or even just your Saturday morning dozen! The donuts are delicious-great variety and flavor! We loved our experience and will definitely be back!! Thank you Danny's Donuts-you were professional, personal, generous--an overall excellent vendor for the Andrews/Chalkley wedding!

They are smaller than most donuts so you can eat more. I give you permission.

My go to Donut shop! Don't get me wrong, Krispy Kreme is great, and Dunkin, well, yall know what yall did (cough, cough, frozen donuts), but Dannys!!! Man, homemade, fresh, delicious flavors! Rich! Oh gosh, I could go on and on!!! I'm trying to get them here, too, lol!!!

Excellent donuts! Fresh! Wonderful and friendly service, too!

Great place! The strawberry cake donuts are the best. I always order the breakfast burrito and it never fails to amaze me.

Grateful that friends shared this little treasure of a place. The donuts are super soft and fluffy, and don't repeat on you. The best!!

Let me say. I love donuts.. these are bake fresh EVERYDAY! Please stop one of their locations. You will not me disappointed

Great service and delicious food.

The food is good. Donuts are great. The coffee sucks, water taste like it?s tap or unfiltered, maybe old? Worst cappuccino!! Definitely recommend the donuts, but get the coffee somewhere else.

I would like to share my experience with this location!!! Me and my toddler came to this location every morning for his breakfast.. however this particular morning the guy with glasses decided to be very rude as he thought a 2 year old was trying to steal a juice pouch!! He make his comments to my kid and I didn?t like it at all.. I took my son to daycare came back to speak to this gentleman at this time the lady was in the front with him!! I tried to have a conversation with him and the lady on how I didn

The absolute BEST! The friendliest staff ever!!! (But how could they not be? They get to make people happy all day long.) Unbelievable hours! What local doughnut shop stays open 'till 5:00 pm??? Really hungry?? get the breakfast burrito & you'll be able to skip lunch. The Boba is right on too! They definitely deserve all the success & growth the are getting!

This Dannys is unbeatable but the Jesse Jewel location is nowhere near as good. I give the Dawsonville Hwy location 5 stars and recommended it to everyone, best donuts I've ever had, great breakfast sandwiches/burritos and smoothies with outstanding service and best prices of any donut shop, but you can skip the other store, to spite good service and prices it lacks the freshness...

This place was super, amazingly delicious and the service was great! We tried a variety of the donuts and my whole family loved them. They also ordered some breakfast sandwiches and a smoothie- everything was too notch!

Best donuts! And breakfast food is delicious.

Always friendly and polite. I usually get the same things. The variety is awesome also. They should have a contest where a customer gets to create a different donut monthly

Went there today... the donuts are some of the best I have ever had... and cheaper then dunkin donuts ... you can get a dozen for about 9 dollars... very fresh. ...and staff members were super friendly

This is the best donut place in the world. They have the freshest donuts I have ever tasted, and the staff is always super friendly! Since I found Danny's Donuts, there is no other place I will eat a donut!

Definitely better than Dunkin Donuts... I do love DD coffee but they don't make anything fresh,well besides the coffee... Danny's Donuts makes fresh donuts every morning.

Amazing food and service. Great little spot??

These donuts are the very best.....hand?s down. The folks are friendly and everything is always fresh. I think I?ve gained 6 pounds since they opened this shop! ???????

Being born and raised in NY I have had my share of donuts. But today I tried Danny's for the first time and....OMG. Best donuts ever! Do not pass this place up! Fresh fresh fresh!!

Delicious donuts, great variety, and friendly staff

Very rude and stand offish worker. Not sure what chip she had on her shoulder, but tell her to leave it at home next time?

The best bagels and breakfast sandwiches in town, unfortunately some people can't seem to understand that this is not a fast food place, the sandwiches take a bit, but they're made fresh and to order.

Best donuts but because of cost of living they had to go up on their prices but when you want to indulge yourself go for it!

Love this place! I'm not spending ANY more of my hard earned cash on some sub par donut! It's Danny's only from here on out. Gotta get some of that Thai tea with the bo-boble balls? It's good whatever it's called.

Love this place!! So much better, fresher and cleaner than the big box donut shops. Stop here!! You won't regret it

I love Danny's Donuts. Best doughnuts around. If I'm ever over in Gainesville in the morning, it's a given I'm going to buy some doughnuts! Go there. Thank me later!

The glazed and jelly donuts were delicious. Neat, clean establishment.

Love their breakfast bagels ! Their donuts are always satisfying when it comes to getting the morning donut craving.

If you love Krispy Kreme donuts, then you will absolutely love Danny's Donuts. I have never found another place with donuts as fresh and flavorful as the ones here!

While they're were rathe affordable, they had a small selection of doughnuts. They get one star because I saw a fly coming out of one of the doughnuts in th case. Left after that. Won't be back here

Hot fresh and very delicious. Has more than doughnuts breakfast sandwiches too. Doughnuts like candy??

Doughnuts are very good. Coffee is some of the worst in town. Good Coffee is a must at a doughnut shop.

BEST donuts ever. So fresh and light and fluffy.

Banging experience. Best breakfast burrito for the price of the volumetric space given for the burrito. The donuts were incredible.

Not as good as Krispy Kreme. Yet a great 2nd choice for doughnuts and food. Better the Dunkin. Yet I was born and raised a Krispy Kreme fan.

They close at 5pm on Saturday. Google says they are open until 8pm. I?m sure the donuts are great.

The doughnuts are delicious and fresh,I've been to both locations and the employees are always friendly and helpful. The only downside is the hours are not longer.

The BEST donuts around! My son and I drive 30 minutes on Friday mornings just for the caramel ice coffee!

Best donuts in town! If you haven't stopped here yet do yourself a favor and do!

Such a yummy variety of donuts my favorite place To go in our town.

Donuts so good every year I ask for them instead of a birthday cake. BEST DONUTS IN THIS DIMENSION!

Super tasty Donuts! And they have an amazing variety!

Donuts were light and yeasty. Bought a dozen assorted donuts and they were all delicious.

Price has gone up to 15.00 for a dozen! Ending my trips to Danny's! Not worth that! Big increase in 2 weeks!

I got blueberry filled and a Bavarian cream it was fresh and good. Service was great

If you like big-box frozen coffe, you have to try Danny's Ices Java Chip. You'll never go back!
