We LOVE Diesel Donuts ? especially the Jefferson location! The service is always great, and you can tell the owner has poured so much love into this place. Saturdays have the best variety of their many cake donuts and pastries! The apple fritter is the best we?ve had, and the breakfast bagels are a must. Great coffee drinks too, even for a non-Jittery Joe?s fan like me! Cozy inside and plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommend!
Went for a second time and they did not disappoint! The bagels were so fresh and delicious! The coffee was amazing! I recommend 10/10! Glad we came back to give it a shot! The first time was amazing too but there were two guys outside yapping annoyingly and out loud about politics. Kinda skewed and uncomfortable! The second time around was super pleasant and this will easily be my go to when I crave bagels! ??
This place is awesome!! I would by far prefer them over Starbucks or any other coffee/eatery! Also, they have a wide variety of donuts, fresh baked bagels, including breakfast and lunch sandwiches that are amazing!! Also, they have cannoli, sweet tea, custom-made coffees, and amazing jittery Joe?s coffee you can purchase and have fresh ground to go.
The food here is PHENOMENAL. The donuts are very nice and light and not too heavy like most other big brands donut shops. The sandwiches are to DIE for, my mouth is watering just thinking about them. The atmosphere is very rustic, unique, and very on brand. The staff were all smiles! They were cheerful, helpful, and kind. Heavily recommend coming here ??
Cute local coffee & donut shop with sandwiches as well. No vegan food items but they do have vegan milk options. My son enjoyed the Diesel Bagel sandwich. Indoor booths and outdoor tables with umbrellas.
What a great little spot in Jefferson! The coffee is great (Jittery Joe's out of Athens), the donuts are BOMB, and the service is warm and welcoming. The locals that move in and out with pickup orders are friendly and you can tell they love the vibes too. I make it a point to stop in for a treat when I'm in the area. The Diesel sandwich and chicken pesto sandwich are DELIGHTFUL. Located in the quaint downtown area, there is plenty of parking just behind the adjacent shops. Easy to park, snag a treat, and he
First time coming here, the selection is great. The food taste amazing
This is not a quick grab and go. Waited 20min for coffee, only for it to be wrong a need to be redone. Also they charge extra for light ice and no ice, and they charge a transaction fee for every order. The coffee is DELICIOUS, everyone was very polite, and the donuts in here are pretty much art. Inside it?s absolutely adorable and the music is a vibe.
Had a chance to stop into this donut shop for the first time. The ham and cheese asiago bagel was delicious! They serve Jittery Joe's coffee and a variety of other drinks. Great selection of donuts available. The raspberry jelly donut and maple peanut donut were both tasty. Staff was so pleasant, and they made small conversation with many of the regulars that would come in. Would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area again.
My Diesel Donuts experience: - got there at 6:45. About 8 peeps in line already - had to wait outside for about 5 minutes (yay covid) - got inside and it was as hot as outside (AC was on but I think it was like only 50 BTUs) - barely any donuts out so it was hard to plan my picks - prices were very good - atmosphere and look of the place was nice - donuts were...decent. "cake style" which are not my fave - all the donuts were cold - even the fresh glazed ones that i was lucky to nab that came out right as
If you're on your way to the Ga mountains this is the place to stop by for a bagel sandwich. It's the best I've had period. The staff is friendly and they put real effort into their food. The location is great and the outside seating is great. Definitely will be a staple of our adventures.
Diesel Donuts and Coffee is a great place for a delightful treat and a hot cup of coffee! Right between Athens and pendergrass is a one of a kind experience with great southern hospitality and taste. Come enjoy one of their delectable donuts today. Thank you Diesel for the great treats and coffee! -D. Orr
Cake Doughnuts!!!. And creative! Love the atmosphere.
I haven't yet been to every donut shop in the world but after going to Diesel Donuts and Coffee I now understand it's pointless to ever go to another donut shop again. Diesel Donuts is simply superior to everyone else.
Great local spot to grab some yummy treats or a beautiful breakfast sandwich. We both got the raspberry latte capachino latte! Excellent!?
Nice spot. I love that they sale coffee from a locally owned company. They were very busy. The line was literally out the door. The service was great and the short wait was worth it. I think they will make a great addition to the area.
The storefront gives you cute corner cafe feels. Inside you notice a huge vintage gum-ball machine. Vintage metal wall decals and fixtures. Small inside dining area, chalkboard menus, unlimited flavoring for coffee, and a wide array of gourmet donuts. Best part the ones I purchased were fresh, tasty and not too sweet. The texture was crisp with a nice bit of moisture. My favorite so far was the maple with the nuts and the red velvet with the cream cheese icing. The coffee was jittery joes beans but personal
Off-the-charts donuts every time we've visited. The employees might be true artists in donut decor but not so great at making you feel welcome and your patronage appreciated. The shop in Jefferson feels very cramped inside with 2 tables inside (I think) that are usually full, so it isn't a place to hang out comfortably and linger over your coffee and donuts. It's grab-and-go. Never had a bad donut yet!
Great service, in and out in just a few mins. Coffee was awesome and the donuts were 10X better than Dunkin.
Visiting from out of town and tried Diesel on a Saturday morning. I?ve eaten doughnuts from hundreds of places, including some of the best in the country, and Diesel is right up there. The doughnut variety was amazing, the flavors were excellent, and the texture was great. They were fresh and flavorful, and a hit with our group of seven people. The bagels did not seem local/fresh, but were fine. At 8:45am on a Saturday it was very busy, but that?s a sign of great food.
Enjoyed breakfast here as were passing through. I ordered the Cajun egg sandwich & my husband ordered the Diesel sandwich. Both were delicious! My husband also enjoyed a Frappuccino. The young ladies working there were so sweet & welcoming!
Exceptional donuts and coffee! Each donut is a work of art with inventive flavors and a display case that bursts with color, creativity and divine deliciousness! Not to mention great WiFi for anyone who can't use a hotspot and needs to do work. I spent 9-5 at the donut shop soaking in the sun, productively working, and eating breakfast (yummy scones and bagels too, if donuts are not your groove), lunch (a delicious bagel with chicken, pesto, and cheese), and an afternoon snack, (strawberry and banana smooth
Great donuts and coffee. They are so nice over there. Thank you for helping me
Love this place!! Donuts are always fresh, unique, and delicious. Bagels are so soft and yummy!
My family and I went to try their new lunch menu! The staff were very friendly and kind as always! Super helpful and friendly. Making you feel welcomed right away. Even with it busy they never once made us feel rushed or trying to get us out of the way. All I can say is the sandwiches are amazing. Super filling and they are massive. The Tuscan chicken and the club are the two we got. Both were great but the Tuscan chicken was by far our favorite. The fresh bread really makes these sandwiches! So if you have
Saw the reviews and figured we give it a try got there 5 mins to closing and Cory the afternoon manager was so welcoming & knowledgeable! I gotta say these are by far DA BEST donuts we've had. The flavors are absolutely amazing and balanced. The coffee is DA BOMB DOT COM! Definitely found our new donut & coffee spot! Thank you!
The restaurant is fine. However I called the owner by accident while doing Uber eats thinking I was calling the customer, & he cursed me out & continued to text me harsh messages because he was so angered that I accidentally called him. Disgusting.
Husband got red velvet donut and a white chocolate mocha; I got the caramel salted pretzel and they were amazing! My husband is very picky about his coffee and he said it was great!
Excelent chai latte, and the Cajun egg bagel was also excelent
I just got a fancy BLT from here and let me tell you!!! It is the best sandwich I?ve ever eaten. The lettuce and tomato were so fresh. The bacon was so flavorful. There was an amazing crunch to the sandwich that you can?t just get anywhere! Such a huge, fulfilling sandwich for under $10. I suggest you come here for your next lunch!
Amazing specialty doughnut shop in Jefferson, GA (located on the downtown square). The doughnuts are great, but I usually order the Diesel Bagel Sandwich which is the best breakfast sandwich I've had to date. It consist of an everything bagel, hickory bacon, smoked ham, sausage, egg and cheese. AMAZING!!! Highly recommend this business!
Wonderful place for breakfast. The asiago bacon egg and cheese was absolutely delicious. It?s the second time I?ve had that sandwich. The quality is good every time. They also have a wonderful variety of tasty delicious donuts. I am looking forward to when they open up in the Commerce location.
Their breakfast sandwichs are the BEST, wish I could get them for dinner sometimes?? Their donuts are unique, and way more tasty then anything you'll find at a fastfood company, my favorite is probably the matcha raspberry???? They've recently updated the inside seating and it looks amazing!
Stunning interior theme and amazing pricing. My son loved the M&M donut and a cold cup of milk. I enjoyed a latte and cheesecake. So happy I moved close by! Worth stopping at if your passing from the highway.
We stopped in for the first time because we were on our way to another state but had to crash in a nearby hotel. At 7:30 in the morning, a girl named Abbigail was so patient and kind with us as we were trying to make sure we got the menu/flavors right. She took the time to explain the difference between regular and fancy and listed off a lot of the flavors. Once I tried the doughnuts, I can confidently say that they were the best doughnuts I?ve ever had (and Abbigail even came to our table to make sure we e
We love the this addition to our town! Great donuts with a excellent variety. Always very nice!
This place is so cute and so good! Today me and my husband walked in right before they closed (and i know it sucks, but we were in the area and wanted coffee) and Raegan was the sweetest soul, she was kind, happy, and helpful. i know how it is to have people come in before closing, and i felt bad to do it, but she was smiling and very generous to serve. our coffee was INCREDIBLE and the donuts were perfect. thank you for a good experience and a kind heart Raegan??
So happy we found this charming place. Donuts are excellent and coffee is wonderful!
Amazing experience, staff could not have been nicer even though we walked in 10 minutes before closing on a holiday weekend. Joked about buying everything they had left, and next thing I knew we were walking out with boxes of donuts. Spent the next 30 minutes in the parking lot handing out donuts... ??
Nice small town shop. Delicious donuts ?? and coffee. Need to go again to try breakfast sandwiches!
Edit: Lori was able to get back to me in an amazingly short amount of time, her and her husband are working to figure out how this could have happened and have been amazing and super helpful and respectful throughout the entire process. I bought 4 donuts today, I absolutely love this place I rave about it all the time, however today when I started eating my powdered sugar donut I felt something weird, and there was a bit of plastic inside the donut. This however is my only complaint and I will still be fre
What a wonderful place! Brought my son and newborn here and we had some amazing donuts and lunch sandwiches. Everything was delicious and the service was awesome.
Super busy on Sat morning, but well worth the wait!!! Yummy EVERYTHING!!! We will be back!
We?ve been coming to Diesel Donuts for the past couple years ever since we moved to Jackson County. I brought my son multiple times weekly in the mornings when I was a stay at home mom, it was one of our weekly outings together. Their donuts always taste amazing with lots of flavors to choose from. The service is good, but there?s rarely a greeting from behind the counter when you walk in or the worker always looks frantic/too busy to see who came in. Today however was disappointing as we came in around 1 w
Everything was good, the decoration was amazing and the service was quick. Would go again.
Love the Donuts! Delicious! My fav is definitely a tie between the Bacon and Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
Please try the red velvet donuts. They are so good.
Hands down the best donut place I've ever been to. The Frozen Jittery Joe's drink is absolutely delicious! I would buy this drink over any other coffee place (Starbucks, etc...). It is so creamy, and flavorful!! My husband had the spicy chicken bagel sandwich and it was to die for. The donuts are absolutely incredible as well and the staff was so friendly! You have to get the cinnamon toast crunch donut. Definitely our new favorite spot.
New York Style Cannoli!! The cannoli, bagels and cannoli made me yern my home state ?
Small town donut coffee shop to die for. Amazing DONUTS, you have to get the key lime filled donut. The red velvet is a must and their fresh bagels ?? is my go-to with egg and cheese. Lastly, I get 8 pumps of white chocolate large iced coffee I'm good after my sugar fix. On to feed my boy Wave Dancer. Go, I promise you will love everything about this place ?? Mahalo
Words cannot describe the amazing experience the kids and I had visiting this amazing establishment. The customer service was absolutely superb! My son literally asked for a cherry-filled donut and they went in the back and made one just for him fresh. The latte was absolutely amazing. The gourmet donut selection was off the charts. Combinations I never even thought of but yet were amazing! Then to top it off, the staff was so friendly. Some of the best customer service I have experienced in quite a while!
Great second visit. They have a great selection of Donuts available and also a discount mixed boxes of 6. I ordered a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Bagel came out toasted great (not too hard or soft). The spread was also really good. I also had a Spiced Chai Tea Latte Hot. They use Jittery Joe?s coffee (which is one of my favorites back in Athens). Cory not only delivered great service but also advice to check out other local spots. Thank you Cory!
This place has some of the best bagels in town.
This place is dangerous. Y?all, the donuts are no joke. My son and I LOVE donuts and let me tell you, we are obsessed. My daughter is not a huge donut fan so she tried a croissant. The croissant was ENORMOUS. I can?t even remember what my husband had, he ate it before I could take my eyes off of my donut! ?? You can tell all of the ingredients that are being used are fresh and high quality. All of it was absolutely amazing. Great food, great people, awesome place.
The doughnuts are amazing. However, I must say the staff has never been super inviting and friendly when coming in. The doughnuts also aren?t labeled (I understand some of them are common sense) but my first time being there I asked for a maple bacon & she rudely cut me off and said ?what you see is what we have.? I also ordered something quick because they were busy and looked stressed out. I ordered tiramisu & some milk. There were cakes already made in the cooler up front. When I asked her why I couldn?t
We love Diesel Donuts! It?s super cute, they have outdoor seating, gourmet donuts and great coffee. And the girls are so sweet. Get the pesto bagel sandwich, it?s off the chain!!!
Awesome place for doughnuts and coffee. Their doughnuts are dangerously delicious. Very fair prices. Also, their points system is great. Easy to use and very lucrative. Going back anytime I can.
Really nice people had patience while I decided which yummie looking donut to buy my daughter there are a lot! Great coffee. It's a busy little place. Also they serve a lot of other items as well. Parking in the back and a nice little park in walking distance. 15 min parking only in front 2 spaces.
This place is amazing and was a much needed addition to the Jefferson area! I truly have never had a bad item from here but the stand outs are the bagels and cream cheese (the kale pesto especially!) Along with the spinach feta beehive and the cinnamon rolls. They will change your life! I also love that they serve local coffee. The staff is friendly and is always ready with an amazing recommendation if you're indecisive!
Update: FINALLY made it! Great selection of drinks and delicious coffees! A REAL Americano! Fun donuts and yummy pastries! Will be back! Super friendly. Previous review: You had me at ?donuts?. You lost me at ?closed? on Mondays. : ( Update: I can?t wait to try your donuts!
The Best! Love getting Diesel before my mornings start when I drive by for work.
So many donut flavors! Great customer service. Very affordable
Diesel Donuts is a Jefferson gem! The donuts are unique and delicious, and the food is fantastic. Everyone should check out this local favorite at least once...just get in early as they sell out every day...once you try it, you'll understand why ??
This place is always clean. Food is delicious. most importantly, their coffee is always really well done and donuts are so creative and delicious.
Small and nice place. Excellent location with parking lot. The coffee is so good. And the donuts are delicious. Prices so good. I definitely will be a frequent client.
So good, reminds me of the times I picked out my own, fresh handmade donuts! Feels so good to support our local small businesses.
Edit: it's interesting to find out another customer of your establishment gets to use their reusable cup often. Seems like a personal attack against myself and my family. You guys should be ashamed. I've really enjoyed coming here the last few weeks but I won't be returning anytime soon due to them not being allowed to take reusable cups. The cashier was nothing but an absolute sweetheart and always does amazing with my order! I just can't keep using single-use thin plastic cups when I have so many nice reu
Great food and great atmosphere! Breakfast bagel was terrific. Doughnuts were amazing
Visited on an afternoon and brought home some great homemade tasting donuts that everyone enjoyed sampling! Highly recommend trying out different flavors you might not normally consider. Corey was very friendly and helpful, and we will be back again soon!
Diesel Donuts is a quaint little donut shop, where the donuts are homemade. When you order a filled donut, you can be assured that your donut is going to have a very generous amount of your desired filling! It was definitely the most filling I've ever experienced. The shop also offers a variety of sandwiches and coffees. This is a great place to grab a snack or a quick lunch. The staff is very friendly and professional. The restroom is very clean. Next time that you find yourself in the center of Jefferson,
My husband randomly started picking up donuts from here and bringing them home to me during the week and I can not get enough of them. They even still taste amazing after sitting in his truck for 6+ hours till they make their way to me. I really enjoy the variety of donuts as well as the macaroons. Also a plus, they are very friendly.
amazing quality in food and drinks!! food came quick and steaming lol. very nice and patient workers. cute and cozy.
Awesome donuts! They are delicious! I loved that they were sweet but not too sweet. Just right. The donuts were lighter than the typical cake donuts and moist. Although we came in just before closing, they were friendly and kind. Really nice place.
I go to get donuts for my kids school staff and other hard workers in the community! The staff says they are glorious and loves when I send assorted ones!!!. The prices are excellent!!! There's a nice selection of donuts. I'm sure if you eat one, you will want another!! The staff at the store are so welcoming. They have excellent customer service which is a huge plus!!
Update and won't be returning.Never a good experience when I stop in how do y'all always forget my order. Just me standing there watching as all the people behind me leave with theirs. Y'all see me there not like there's any room for me to stand anywhere else.hello I can understand you all get busy but still. And the coffee had a tangy taste. I was 3rd in line after my ordering I was right at 21 mins waiting when I finally had to ask for my coffee.had I not asked I would still be standing there with them lo
But I really don't like cake donuts but everything was good
This is my go to place almost every morning. I love everything about it. The staff, the food, the coffee, the environment and just the all around small town coffee shop feel. The bagel sandwiches are the best I?ve had. Cant say enough good things about this place, I?ve become a regular and I recommend it to all my coworkers and friends.
Diesel Donuts is a nice little corner shop with yummy donuts and good jittery Joe's coffee. The ambiance and the decorations and setup make it convenient and cute, and I felt super comfortable and at ease in there. The staff was kind and accommodating, so no complaints! I recommend the red velvet donuts
This is our favorite donut shop. We drive here from Gainesville. Their bagels are perfect. I recommend the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and we haven?t tried a donut yet that we don?t like. Corey is always friendly and helpful and goes out of his way to make sure we are taken care of.
Full disclosure, I stopped by a 1:30 pm today. Bought donuts, muffins and cinnamon buns. Got home made a pot of coffee and sat down to enjoy the goodies. They were all stale. Tasted like they were made yesterday. Maybe it was because it was later in the day, maybe not.
We are so lucky to have Diesel Donuts in Jefferson! They have a huge selection of consistently beautifully crafted and delicious donuts. They have unique flavors you won?t find anywhere else. It is 100 percent worth it to drive a little off the beaten path to visit them.
MY FAVORITE SPOT IN JEFFERSON, GA!!!!!! KINSLEY, YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I WISH I COULD GIVE EXTRA STARS FOR DIESEL BECAUSE THEY PUT LOVE, FUN AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IN EVERY SPRINKLE, CHOCOLATE CHIP AND COFFEE DRIP!! THEY HAVE THE ?UTEST AND BEST TASTING DONUTS I'VE EVER HAD. CHIK FIL A VS DIESEL - I'M going to Diesel!!!! THANK Y'ALL FOR EVERTHING! ? Robin Schofill
Went in this afternoon and Corey was so nice and friendly. Gave my son a sticker and the donuts were delicious. I have to mention when I visited a few weeks back I noticed an elderly man came in for directions. (He had no phone or gps) Corey took the time to write out street by street how to get to the elderly mans location. What great customer service and warmed by heart!
The donuts were so good when they first opened but now they are dry and terrible. I used to get them for my office all the time; now, people ask me to NOT bring "those" donuts. Even my children think they're too dry and gross. The donuts became more and more dry. Someone just brought one to me at the office and it was sooo bad that couldn't eat it & stopped working to write this review. I am hoping they will correct the problem. I am sad! I love supporting local businesses & I love donuts but I just can't
Live this little shop! Can get a bit crowded but very worth the wait. They are so friendly here and the food is great! Coffee is even better!
Visiting family in the area and this place popped up as a suggestion on Google and omg, I'm so glad they did! My waistline may not be happy about it, but my tastebuds sure were. Walked out of there with a dozen mixed donuts, lemon cranberry muffin, vanilla Chai, & a coffee for my cousin and was happy with all my choices! I only wish I were closer to stop by more often. Definitely recommend if you're in the area, looking for something sweet!
I took my son here this morning for breakfast while on a bike ride. We got there at 6:41 thinking we?d beat the rush... boy were we wrong! There was already a line out the door. The line moved fast enough. When we got to order there was one person (very friendly) who took my coffee order, double espresso shot and a black coffee, I did mention it was before 7 on Saturday right? My coffee was ready before I was finished ordering our donuts (which were delicious!!) and the lady helping with the donuts was supe
Freshest and tastiest scones ever! Friendly atmosphere created by the owners. Gourmet selection of fresh donuts! Great coffee selection. My husband and I come regularly now that we discovered this gem!
