Customer Reviews

????? First time going here and I love it!!! I got a 1/2 dozen with glazed and strawberry filled doughnuts... AMAZING! The ?? strawberry ?? filling wasn't overly sweet which is great because I feel like some doughnut shops use more sugar than strawberry but this place nailed it! ?? They were also delicately crunchy on the outside (that glaze man!) and super soft on the inside. I'm gonna have to go back later today to have my husband try it because these won't last with the kids and I ????

This is a good place to get breakfast croissants and apple fritters and breakfast taco.. The staff are very friendly and polite and the quality and the size are well worth the price

My first time here and I wasn?t disappointed! The service is quick and very professional! I highly recommend the jalape?o boudin and the spinach w/cheese! I?ll be back!

The girl in the mornings has a very friendly and awesome attitude Food it's great! I'm definitely coming back here

Excellent choice for fresh doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches, many to choose from. It's always fresh and delicious. Super friendly staff always a great experience.

The best donut shop in the area nothing compares ????

Great place to order donuts and kolaches. The cashiers are always kind and quick to serve, plus the prices aren't too bad. Undoubtedly recommend this place if you're looking for something quick and delicious.

Delicious and affordable 10/10 donut shop

They have the best kolaches in town!

They have the best cake donuts I've ever had in my life! They also have boudain kolaches!

The best kolache and donut place in this area. Cheaper than Shipleys, and better service. If you go here I reccomend getting the jalapeno boudin kolache.

I love this place!!!! Amazing kolaches the Chapel Hill are my favorite and the filled donuts Barbarian cream is my go to but the other's are delicious as well been coming here for years definitely recommend!

These are the places I look for when it comes to bad a$$ kolaches and they did not disappoint?The boudin spicy and Chappell hill sausage are the way to go!!!

I was needing some donuts and kolaches for a client I was visiting and found Dennas Donuts on Yelp. God I love this Yelp because pulling up to the store front I would have never thought the donuts and kolaches would be so good. Also the have Chappel Hill sausage kolaches!! Owners and always happy to help behind the counter was very friendly and even give me free few dozen donut holes with my large order and fixed my coffee with creamer and sweetener. If you need some donuts or kolaches then go to Dennas Don

Best donuts I've had in a while. Ulysses even remember us coming in, asked if my sister got home ok. I love small businesses. Will be back.. And bringing friends.

The yeast rolls for the kolaches are the bomb! The Chapel Hill sausage makes even more scrumptious. Then they threw in a dozen Hot donut holes with my dozen kolaches. This made the our week in the office!

Visiting from Indiana and stopped in every morning for coffee and doughnuts. Best coffee and delicious soft doughnuts. Very friendly staff and so much to choose from

Had a week in the area for work training and just decided to drop in. Exceptional handmade donuts and pastries! Top that off with 5-star customer service and easily became my favorite morning stop.
