Customer Reviews

We special ordered letter orders online and they were beautiful and the birthday girl loved them! They always give you extra!

The last several times I?ve gone to Daylight Donuts they?ve been out of multiple products, mainly kolaches. Each time I?ve gone in recently it?s been before 7:00 and they?re out. I went in shortly after they opened today at 5:00, and they didn?t have any ready. Today (at 5:20) the ?opener didn?t make any?. Sad to say I won?t be back after coming here nearly 30 years. I don?t have time to wait 12-15 minutes cook time when I run to get donuts/kolaches.

Kelli and his crew at Daylight Donuts are beyond the best. They are compassionate and they care about people in the community. We couldn?t ask for a better Place to get the best donuts and friendly smiles Thank You????

New to the area and I?ve found my donut shop! Met Kelly and got to talk a little while picking up my order. Nice guy, nice place, easy to get there.

Exceptional! From the owner to the gal who helped us, friendly and supportive of the military. The product was fresh, yummy and huge! Will always buy from them.hands down best place to get all your doughnut and breakfast cravings met... Ty to the staff you have made my family happy and touched our hearts deeply

Happy customer for life ?? I just had the sweetest interaction with the owner, Kelley. I am 15 weeks pregnant and for the past 8 weeks I?ve been craving a chocolate long-john from Daylight donuts (specifically ??). I had held out 8 weeks when I finally decided it was time to indulge. My husband went twice and unfortunately we weren?t early enough to get a long-john before they were all gone. During a recent conversation with my dad, a California resident, I told him about my cravings and how recently when I

This is my favorite donut place in NWA. The owner is one of the nicest humans on the planet! The employees are equally awesome. All of the donuts are great but my favorite is the Yum Yum donut (which lives up to its name). The cinnamon rolls are delicious as well! And they also serve biscuits and gravy!

Great donuts. Plenty of choices. I got a dozen mixed and a half dozen kolaches. They all went quickly.

When I can get a half dozen delicious doughnuts, hot biscuits and gravy, two cheese and jalape?o kolaches, and two large coffees for $20 in todays economy, I?m ecstatic. Helps that the workers are fabulously kind and quick workers.

This donut shop is seriously the best in NWA! Not only are the donuts delicious, but the people really make the customer experience a joy! I needed some custom colored donuts for our Gender Reveal party and I?m SO glad I drove 30mins one way just to get them from here. Kelly made sure the donuts were packaged for traveling and they turned out beautifully!! If you need custom donuts, or just donuts in general, Daylight in Lowell is the best place to get them!

Really friendly staff. They even threw some free extra donuts just because it was our first time there. The donuts were great and delicious, definitely going back.

Wanted donuts today and found myself in Lowell at daylight donuts. I'm a fan of donuts that are fried not baked like Dunkin. When I got there the cinnamon roll look really good. The cinnamon roll had just the right amount of cinnamon and just enough glaze to complete the roll.

i LOVE daylight donuts. good and cheap. but this is the first one i?ve been to where the portion what that small. usually they are decently big

Best donut shop in NWA! We have been customers for 15+ years. My kids love the donut selection. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.

Everyone who works here is very friendly ! The donuts are the best donuts I have ever had and I love going back ! Especially since I?m treated like I?m part of their family. Definitely recommend !

I have always loved this donut shop. The food tastes great, but the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the last few times we visited the long John's were the smallest I have seen anywhere. Still, best place around!

We often order sausage rolls and donuts for our FedEx delivery team, Daylight is always happy to accommodate our large order and are the most friendly folks you will find in all of NWA! Highly recommended giving them a try if you haven't been in to see them yet! Great food, great folks, you can't beat that!

I've visited Daylight Donuts multiple times, hoping for a fresh and enjoyable donut experience. Unfortunately, I have consistently been met with disappointment. Despite the appealing variety and potential for a great donut experience, the freshness of the donuts I've received has been consistently lacking, to the point where I question the safety and health standards being upheld. It's difficult to determine if the issue lies in the storage conditions post-baking or if the donuts are indeed being sold days

I've been going there for about 25 years! Nicest people own it and their staff is wonderful. Of course, the donuts and other foods they have is delicious!

Kelly and his tram have served our family for years! Always like going to see family! We Love the Daylight team!

I have been to several daylight donut shops to get fresh donuts. I got 3 original glazed at 6:30AM. They were stale and cold. I hate leaving a bad review as I own a business, but why are you serving donuts from yesterday?

Always a welcoming environment. Customer service is excellent. My daughter and I enjoy our location in Lowell.

Best donut shop I?ve ever been to they were so kind to me and gave me the best customer service, the donuts were fresh and tasted amazing.

Even in a natural disaster, the consumer service was exceptional! Fast and friendly service! They were swamped with people out of power trying to get breakfast or just a cup of hot coffee! They did great!

I have known the owner since I was a child and his donut shop is amazing. He helps out his community by donating donuts for fundraisers and dad's and donuts for schools. The staff is so sweet and helpful and I love how he displays local high schoolers art work. I may not be able to eat there due to my allergies but my husband and son go there every Friday morning.

I love the one in Bentonville and was expecting the same from this one but I was sorely mistaken. The kolaches weren?t even half the size, they were pathetic. The donuts were okay.

Every Saturday is a family tradition of doughnuts from daylight. Kelley and his group are Great people and food is Awesome.

The Kolache was hot and fresh and they even have cute Razorback donuts! Definitely recommend.

I bought an Apple Fritter and I just have to say it?s the worst Fritter I?ve ever had it looked as flat as a tortilla it was so thin that the inside was just oil nasty

There really are not enough nice things to say about this place and especially the owner. A great local business that goes out of their way to make sure you get what you want, no matter what. Donuts are always fresh and have a great variety of other items to choose from. The owner Kelly is as nice of a person as you would ever meet! I would recommend anyone to go check them out!

We love Daylight Donuts! Mr. Kelly and all of the staff are always super friendly and they easily serve our favorite donuts!

If you need donuts, go to the best. Can?t beat the donuts, can?t beat the price. The owner will hook you up with the best service!

Especially Love their cake donuts and really good Kolachies!!a friendly way to start your day.

My absolute favorite donut and coffee shop! Always fresh and they always have a large variety donuts available to choose from. The owner is always friendly and ready to help. I'm enjoying the new fresh coffee selections he added too. A little out of the way from where I live but always worth the trip.

I tried a new donut I had never tried before....a maple bar with crumbled bacon on top! It was delicious! Will have to be back for that one! The staff is awesome as they cater to you and try to accommodate whatever you fancy donut-wise! Highly Recommend!!!

Great donuts and fantastic coffee. The layout is thoughtful and great for conversation. 10/10 will be here again.

Best donut shop in town, in my opinion.

We love Daylight Donuts! I especially love this location because the staff is always friendly and the vibe is just right. Today they made our day by adding a couple extras so we could sample them! That?s how you make a business great (:

genuinely good people!!! nothing but amazing, kind, helpful. i believe the owner is who i was blessed by an over abundance of positive vibes. i couldn?t say one word of bad!!! I will definitely return!!

I have been buying donuts from Kelly's shop for over ten years. He takes pride in his business and his product. He hires great staff. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about his store. The donuts themselves are the best in NW Arkansas hands down and I have yet to find a donut shop as good on any of my business travels throughout the country. My family move 25 miles away from Lowell two years ago and I still pass four different donut store chains on my way back to buy from him. Daylight Donuts

The people here are amazing ?? I can't help but leave in a better mood. The donuts are excellent; you can get the perfect cream filled donut here (ask for the stuff that isn't the Bavarian)!

My favorite place to get donuts. Very plesant people to work with when I have a specific birthday request for donuts.

Great service, I order for the office on a regular basis and am always met with the best service and a smile. They bill me and make everything convenient. They have even carried them out to the car for me. Kelly & his crew are the best.

Great business and great service! Always extremely nice to my young boys when we go in. Highly recommend them!

Great service. Great donuts. Small shop, not a lot of seating

Doesn?t matter if I go in and buy one donut two donuts or a dozen they treat you like you?re the only customer and it?s an amazing experience. Best donut shop in town. Definitely recommend to come in and try them out.??????????????

Been coming to this Day Light Donuts for years; the owner Kelly & the people that work there are fantastic; the donuts are the best in NW. Arkansas. The Glazed Old Fashion & The Maple Honey Bun w/ Pecans are Wonderful.

Employee stole money from the customer. Your .05 cent theft not only cost you a 24% tip, it cost your company a repeat customer. I hope you enjoyed what you stole and I hope it was worth it.

Their goodies are always top notch and fresh. They always have a great variety of pastries to choose from. If it's almost time for the shop to close for the day, they usually give you a few extra goodies so they have less to deal with at the end of the day.

Clean inside and such amazing service ??

Great place for breakfast, we get this atleast once a month for our weekly meetings. Staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating highly recommended!

Kelly and his team ALWAYS take great care of us when we pick up Friday donuts and kolaches. The strawberry iced donuts are the kiddos fav and I like the blueberry cake ones!

Picked up 4 dozen donuts last minute for a work party. Everyone loved them. Kelly was fantastic. Will return again soon.

Thanks for the goodies you sent to our office today at Sturdivant's!! Guess who gets priority scheduling from now on?? Haha! Awesome food!

My little one and I always get excellent service when we come in. Would love to have a drive-thru window for times when the little one is asleep in the car, but they still get 5 stars from me because their service and their products are top notch!

Best donuts around! Best owners around! Super friendly and great service! Only place I will be going from now on!!

The people are kind and the shop is clean. Donuts are great and at a good price. The employee's are polite and very helpful. I enjoyed this more than Krispy kreme.

Great little place for donuts. I saw things about ordering special made donuts for celebrations. I came mainly for the kolache, but it was dry. ??

Hands down the best donuts in NWA. I favor maple bars, chocolate old-fashion, and plain cake.

Tasty donuts and great service. I've been here 20+ times and I've had a great experience every time. Lots of options for donuts too.

Delicious donuts, Amazing customer service and always consistent. Kelly is the coolest guy in Arkansas. I will always be coming back.

My daughter and I come here almost every weekend. Great donuts but even better staff!

This is the #1 donut shop in NWA. The staff is very friendly and personable. Their donuts and sausage rolls are simply the best.

I love grabbing this for my morning shifts at work! Even after hours they're very nice, gave us a free dozen and a half of donuts for just giving them change!

They are amazing and take the time to connect with every customer.

Always fresh. You certainly get service with a smile here. The blueberry cake donuts are by far my favorite.

Best donuts in Lowell hands down. Kelly runs a clean operation and the people are very friendly. Bacon lovers dream!
