Customer Reviews

Dannys Donuts has the best donuts in Gainesville, and probably north Georgia. Every donut I?ve had has been super fresh, soft and just plain delicious. They have a great variety of regular donuts, filled donuts, cake donuts and even apple fritters that are awesome. I especially love when they toss in some donut holes free of charge ? such a nice little bonus. The people there are always super friendly too. Never had a bad experience. Highly recommend if you?re in Gainesville!

Everyone in Gainesville Ga knows what that small white box with no markings is. The best doughnuts in town. The price is fair and the servers are always nice and super fast. Always a solid choice.

If you haven?t stopped in to get a breakfast burrito and a donut you are missing out! Delicious, filling and good value! Quick and friendly service! Make sure you get the salsa verde, it?s made in house! Got a 1/2 dozen mixed donuts. My son LOVES the cake donuts. Apple fritters were also delicious and the Maple Bacon a must try!

Went here in the morning for some breakfast. After knowing how great the doughnuts here are, I wanted to try other items. I decided to get the Adventure Burrito that had eggs/chorizo, grilled bacon & sausage, potatoes and shredded cheese. I also noticed tucked away near the cash register a Top Secret Menu! I ended up getting the Master Mix Nitro Brew on the rocks. The atmosphere was very cozy with a lot of customers coming in either to get an order to go or to eat inside. I received my drink first and it lo

Danny?s Donuts is a family owned eatery featuring handmade donuts and breakfast sandwiches, but also offering ice cream, smoothies, and coffee. It is located in a nondescript shopping center near Main Street and Jesse Jewell Parkway. There are five locations in Gainesville (2), Flowery Branch (2), and Buford (1). We ordered six dozen donuts (glazed, blueberry cake, maple bacon, apple fritters, cinnacrunch) and a Smoked Sausage Breakfast Burrito. Customer service was solid and my breakfast burrito was read

I?ve heard of Danny?s Donuts plenty of times before but had just never had the time to stop by. I finally tried this place out and I?m glad I did! First off, I loved the welcomeness of the female that attended me. I forgot her name but she was super sweet and helpful! Donuts were good, but it?s people like her that keep people coming !!

In Gainesville recently and decided to look for a donut shop. Danny?s came up in search. We went and bought a dozen assorted donuts. Wow! Were we impressed! The next week went back. Got half dozen apple fritters right out of the oven. To die for!! Great people and better than excellent pastry!! Go now!

I recently visited Danny's Donuts, and I must say it was an exceptional experience! The donuts were incredibly delicious, with a wide variety of flavors to choose from. The service was friendly and efficient, making my visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Danny's Donuts to anyone looking for a delightful treat and excellent customer service. In essence, Danny's Donuts is a haven for donut lovers seeking a personalized and memorable treat. Whether you're looking for a classic flavor combination or a

10/10 costumer service! The lady working the counter was a sweetheart. The food was delicious and a great value! Will definitely come again!

The food, the owner, EVERYTHING. Super friendly and great service. I got the Bubble tea and the ham, egg and cheese bagel. BETTER THAN DUNKIN. I will be back.

Nice customer service and great place to cool off and enjoy a delicious donut ?? with a scoop of your favorite ice-cream. Family atmosphere and clean establishment!

I've been looking forward to checking this place out. It's hard to find true Old-fashioned donuts. The ladies in the shop were sweet and very helpful. A lot of reviews mentioned the apple fritter... they were right! It's so good. So far every one that I've tried has hit its mark. Fresh. Light. Sweet. Delicious. I'll definitely be back, and plan on trying the drinks and breakfast foods, at some point.

Just left Danny's mini donuts for normal price. These are not donuts you need to be selling. I could get this at the dollar store in the mini bag. Will not return to Danny's mini donuts ever. Your product is trash for the price. This is a normal size cup donushiuld sit on top. Nor fall though. Great mini donuts not.

Food is great but went by at 2pm on a Tuesday and they were closed. Need to fix those hours on Google. Drove all the way across town.

Yo the Donuts is #1. Its 10:36 pm and I had to!!! And I live in Lawrenceville GA. Great food Danny s. I'm up eating ur donuts and writing this post.

Delicious yeast donuts! Plenty of filling too. I was even surprised the coffee was excellent. They do charge a credit card fee, but their prices are reasonable so forgivable. Must stop!

This is a must. Their doughnuts are the best in the state and they are priced to sell! Great service if you have a minute to wait for a breakfast sandwich I suggest it. Call your order in to pick up; the doughnuts are fresh and waiting on you. Service is excellent, staff is polite even during the biggest rush, and very accommodating. If your having a bad day this place is the best pick my up and if your starting your day this is how you do it right.

My family came in this morning to grab some breakfast on my daughters birthday and the owner Marlene gave her a free pink sprinkled donut! It made her absolutely light up! Our first time was so welcoming and we will make this our new local favorite breakfast spot!

My husband and I have been to Danny donuts multiple times and we have nothing but good things to say! They have the best donuts in Gainesville and their staff is always so friendly! We look forward to coming back :)

We went at 2:00 pm on a Monday. There were plenty of donuts left to select from! They don?t require customers to wear masks, but the lady serving the donuts was wearing one. They have lines on the floor for social distancing. We got a half dozen donuts for about $7, including tax. Here?s what we got, in order of my preference: - Apple Fritter - Cinnamon Sugar - Old Fashioned - Bear Claw (cinnamon with apple filling; we didn?t like the filling that much) - Chocolate with Chocolate Frosting - Red Velvet The

I?ve been to this location of Danny?s many times, and I have had a wonderful experience each time. I truly believe that Danny?s hires some of the most genuine and sweetest people. The lady (I wish I knew her name) who helped me today really touched me with her kindness. No longer do I go to Dunkin of Krispy Kreme? only Danny?s for me!

This place has the most amazing doughnuts. They were voted the best in Hall County. The guys are super friendly. It's a great local business and a cherished part of the community. I cannot overstate how incredible they are. I recommend them without any hesitation.

Awesome food great prices sweet staff. Just moved to the area and will be a regular!

These are the best donuts in town and at a great price as well! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. A whole dozen were only $9 and they even threw in a couple extra for free! If you?re ever in Gainesville, you should definitely go visit and get some donuts!

Thank you for the best help, went up there to visit a friend in the hospital craving donuts. They are not a mile out of the way and worth the trip. The lady who helped me was awesome, patient, and very helpful. Thank you and I hope you enjoy your donuts as we did.

This shop has an excellent variety of freshly made donuts as well as fresh made to order breakfast burritos. If you're into breakfast burritos, I highly recommend the Adventure. If you're into spicy, they will happily add chopped jalapenos in your Adventure.

Best place in town to get good donuts and great service. Love the new look. I love anime so this was a great way to get my attention.

You want donuts? Need some OJ? Looking for a breakfast sandwich? Need a latte? Danny?s Donuts is the place to stop in for breakfast or to pick up a dozen donuts for the office.

Had to come on here and write something because I love this shop so much I come there 3 to 4 times a week. I have visited the other Danny?s locations and none even come close to this one. The atmosphere and service are always top tier and very inviting. The doughnuts are always fresh and stocked. If you are on the fence about stopping in do yourself a favor and try it out you wont be disappointed!

We had never been to Danny?s before but found ourselves on that side of town this morning and decided to stop in to see what we could find for breakfast. I had the ham egg and cheese croissant and my husband had the smoked sausage burrito! Both were excellent! Hot and fresh! Also tried a couple donuts and iced coffee and they were great as well!

Great coffe and friendly staff! Can add boba to ANY drink! Even coffee!! Lots of not to hidden anime decor throught the store. Plenty of decor throughout.

Love Danny's doughnuts! Great service! The doughnuts variety change occasionally, but they always have our families' favorites. It's much better than Duncan's. My only regret is that we live two towns away. Go early in the day. These doughnuts sell out fast.

The donuts are good, but do not sleep on the breakfast burritos. I love those things. Make sure you get the housemade salsa verde with it too. You can thank me later.

Wow! This place has every kind of freshly made donut you could want. I don't care for donuts so I go for their breakfast croissants and burritos. Both are excellent. My girlfriend really enjoys the blended iced coffee drinks they make. The people who own/run this place are very kind and friendly. They seem to enjoy what they so and appreciate their customers.

The best donuts ever and now they offer custom designs!

Love their staff so nice. I enjoy the egg and cheese croissant as well as their donuts. You don't have to wait on food for very long, fast service. So glad they are close to where I work.

Danny's Donuts has an ever growing following since arriving in Hall County. Their apple fritters are a fav. This trip, I tried an Adventure Buritto with egg, cheese, chorizo, and more. It was filling and good. Actually, I could not finish it in one meal. The staff are friendly and helpful. If you haven't tried them, don't wait any longer. At this time, I believe there are 3 locations.

I usually go here in my way to volunteer at Good News at noon on Friday mornings and get a sausage egg and cheese croissant and they are always amazing. 10 out of 10.

My daughter says these are the best donuts she has ever eaten! Up until now, we've not had fresh, homemade donuts when we go out, so it's amazing what a difference it makes! The staff was all super friendly and patient with her as she made her selections for our box. We will definitely make several return trips!

Really delicious donuts! They had a good assortment even when I went later in the day. The lady who helped me was very kind and the donuts are very reasonably priced. Definitely stop by if your passing through town. The apple fritter is good, so is the chocolate chip-chocolate filled donut square.

Absolutely love this place! My favorite spot for breakfast and donuts. Everyone is always so welcoming. Definitely the best out of the three.

BEST DONUTSSS! Don?t even bother with Dunkin?s donuts. This place always has fresh donuts and interesting varieties of donuts. Sometimes if you?re lucky, when you buy a half dozen or dozen they will throw in a few extra donuts! That?s my favorite part!! Their boba is good too!

I love this Danny's donuts location. Donuts here are phenomenal that's a given at Danny's but have you tried a breakfast burrito? Or a ham and cheese croissant? Calling your order in ahead saves you valuable crazy morning time. Staff are friendly for people who are up so early in the morning ??

Great service! Came here today with my kids while my husband was having a procedure done at NE Georgia Medical and the lady at the counter was so nice. They even gave us a couple of the munchkin doughnuts for free in the box. Will definitely be coming back even though we live an hour and a half away! Great, fresh doughnuts and wonderful service. Must try

Many choices, you must come here! Best donuts I?ve had so fluffy and flavorful but what is even better is their customer service is absolutely the best I?ve ever had. Love getting the couple extra donuts holes!! It is very good on price also so don?t feel guilty ordering a lot ?? new favorite.

Sometimes I can either workout or go get donuts on my Saturday mornings. Let's just say I skip the workout! These donuts are the best. They are not fancy or extra they are just tasty!

Two things: they have the BEST boba tea I've had anywhere, I highly recommend that you have the taro flavour. They are also incredibly sweet and often add in little bonuses to your purchase; I got a half dozen and the guy behind the counter threw in some donut holes as well and FILLED the cap of my taro tea with extra tea and whipped cream. I've only had great experiences with them and I will continue to support their business ????

Highly recommend the apple fritters. Maple bacon comes in a close second. The folks here are great, and they sometimes throw in a few extra donuts into the box just because they know how tasty they are. I?ve never tried the location on Dawsonville Highway, but the one in midtown is fantastic.

Danny's Donuts has a huge selection of donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast burritos. I've tried a lot of the items on the menu and they're all great! Go early in the day for the best selection. I try to get there before 9:30 AM. The buttermilk bars, bear claws, and blueberry cake donuts are my favorite!

I?ve been a loyal fan of Danny?s Donuts ever since they opened. The donuts are always fresh ? sprinkles are my personal favorite, they?re like a cake donut! The other day I went to buy a half dozen & as I was pulling out my credit card I noticed the gentleman behind the counter putting something else in the box, but I didn?t think anything of it. When I got home & opened the box, I noticed he had put THREE extra glazed donuts in my box (hallelujah)! This is why I love Danny?s ? consistently great customer s

The new owners have done an amazing job decorating the place and the Adventure Breakfast burrito is fire! The owners are super cool and very friendly.

Great little donut & breakfast spot. The food is good and the staff is great. The decor is having a bit of an identity crisis, but not unpleasant. Making this a regular weekend thing. Probably should keep the review to myself so y?all don?t swarm my new spot ??

I love donuts!!! All the donuts are simply delisous & the caramel iced coffee is divine! The prices are on point so you can try more than one to find your favorite. Great place for a quick bite to feed that sweet tooth.

The thing that makes this place so good is that the doughnuts are made fresh at the location every day. When you get a dozen assorted you really get an assortment not just filled and regular like the other guys. The one downside is that these things are so good that they regularly sell out (a good sign). So get here early if you want to get in on that fried dough heaven that is Danny's Donuts.

Very nice people. The breakfast burrito was super dry and tortilla was stale. Donuts are very little for the price

This place is amazing, the way they make their donuts is phenomenal. I definitely recommend Danny?s over Dunkin any day of the week.

Super cute little place! The boba and the donuts were cheap and tasted great!

Probably among the BEST donuts I have ever had! They have special selections very often and all the usual donuts. They also offer breakfast sandwiches and burritos. The workers are all kind and happy to help!

Update from original post: The staff are still nice and the overall flavor of the donuts are still good, but this and the other Gainesville location have new owners who seriously SKIMP on the cream in their filled donuts. That boat load of cream was the whole reason for my raving review last year! I mentioned the missing cream issue to one of the location owners, and got some excuse about the donuts sticking together when filling them, but I'm thinking..'squeeze harder'. Lol. The missing cream isn't an isol

Great customer service & very welcoming ! The donuts where fresh, delicious & the coffee was Hot ! 7 ?? Stars.

The frozen coffee was great, the burrito was HUGE and really good! I?m about to eat my donut! The prices were good and the customer service was amazing! See you again Thursday! My new favorite breakfast stop!!

First and foremost the service is amazing. I always feel welcome there. The breakfast sandwiches are great. I can't leave without donuts, the apple fritters and the maple bacon donut are the best. I always try to stop by whenever I can.

... been here a couple of times. The place is clean and the people are friendly. The donuts we're fresh and the prices were not bad at all. The place is a little hidden (behind CVS) but worth the look. They were very fast with service too. I sat in the car and watched people enter and exit really quickly. This is my new go to for donuts

Donuts were delicious! Great selection and quick service. I have lived in this area my whole life and have never been, but this spot will become a regular place for me now.

Danny's yeast raised donuts are EXCELLENT! I particularly like their glazed, chocolate frosted (with NO GLAZE underneath !!!!), lemon filled, and Bear Claw. Their chocolate cake with chocolate frosting is pretty durn good too!

If you haven't tried Danny's yet you're missing out on the best donuts/pastries you've ever had in your life! There are no shortcuts taken and I have never been disappointed in anything I've ever ordered. And now they have multiple locations for more convenience.

This location is nowhere near as good as the Dawsonville Hwy location. The Dawsonville Hwy location has the best donuts I've ever had, great breakfast sandwiches, burritos and more plus great service and best prices of any donut shop. The Main St location however wasn't half as good. While the staff was wonderful the donuts seemed almost stail and only half glazed. The croissant wasn't bad but not seemingly as fresh as we get at the other store. I really hate giving ugly reviews, this is not in my nature an

This place has fresh donuts with a large variety to choose from. Friendly staff, fast service, and the donuts are delicious. Such a great find. My family and I will be going here more often.

The original review from 6 years ago was fantastic things have gone downhill a bit with service and quality. Donuts are not what I would expect from the best place and the burritos are filled with potatoes and very little egg or meat.

I heard about the boba teas and I wanted to try one, so I took my bro with me to check this new place out. As It turns out, they have great customer service and wide selection of donuts, coffees, teas, etc. I enjoyed my cookies and cream bubble tea. I highly recommend this place!

Friendly service! Amazing donuts, each and every one freshly made each morning. So many different flavors and types. The boba tea is delicious as well!

Wonderful place! Everything from the food to the customer service was top notch! Best donuts ever ??????????????

Danny?s is great! The donuts are better than anywhere and cheaper! The people provide wonderful service; they know their products and can always make an excellent recommendation. You can help but leave with a new favorite every time.

Always the best service and the best donuts. Their donuts are so much better than even Krispy Kreme and they usually give you a little something extra in the bag. Just a great place to go and do business.

Hand's down the best donut shop in North Georgia. Get in early before they sell out, everything is made fresh every morning. The customer service is always great and warming!

Danny?s is one of a kind! We love their donut holes, Apple fritters, and breakfast sandwiches. The service is quick, the donut variety is great, and the employees are very friendly.

Great donuts... Large selection of different glazes and also had a glazed donut with bacon pieces on top. First visit and will definitely be back. Very friendly staff and I met the donut Baker!

Great donuts,not the best I've had though. Danny is a friend who knows his thing. Girl at counter is RUDE!!!! Do not ask for receipt copy or something special like extra mayo; she will copt the sorriest attitude ever. She also charges a little more than actual price. Cannot tell ,although they did at first when new store will open. Place is always cold. Other than that, one of best places in Gainesville to eat and run into people to talk and sit

THIS PLACE IS MY FAVORITE! I get donuts here any morning I have time to spare. As soon as you taste them you can tell theyre fresh and theyre easily affordable. I take my friends here on donut trips and my family for treats I absolutely love this place would give up my first born child to keep this beautiful donut shop in gainesville.

This place had great cream filled glaze donuts, honeydew melon with tapioca black pearls, and small glazed donut holes. The breakfast burrito had fantastic smoked sausage and warm potatoes.

I haven't actually had a donut but I buy them for others repeatedly. People love them. Everyone who works there is nice. The only problem is they sometimes run out of the best donuts.

Always love going and getting their donuts they're pretty damn good a top of the line up there with Krispy Kreme just the price is a little on the high side other than that thank you guys

My first job in Gainesville I worked for a boss that was a psychopath; garbage in human skin. His name was Danny. So...when Danny's Donuts opened, even though I knew it was not Psycho Danny, I avoided the place. The negative association was that strong. Well... I have just made my first visit today and must confess I've been a fool. The donuts are as good as all the previous reviews state. I've been missing out bigtime. I'll be back Danny, I'll be back. Thanks for sharing your skills.

Absolutely the best donuts I?ve ever had! I travel all over the US and nothing compares to these donuts. The staff is also excellent. Friendly and efficient.

Danny?s Donuts are the best donuts I have ever had. I will not go to Dunkin? Donuts anymore, And I I will not go to Krispy Kreme anymore, I will only go to Danny?s donuts. Not only do their donuts always taste fresh, they Are all about customer service. I have never been disappointed at Danny?s. I highly recommend going for your morning donuts and coffee.

I love donuts and this is my go to place. Always fresh and service is fast, professional, and always pleasant service. The variety of donuts is always so hard to choose from.

This is a place where if your new you cant go wrong with anything you pick to try. Everything is yummy. I love the breakfast burrito tried it once with my husband and we both fell in love with it.

Donuts are better than Krispy Kreme! I love this place...wish they were all over. I am going to make special trips out to Gainesville whenever I move! You must try the apple fritters! They are the best!
