Customer Reviews

We found this little gem on our way home from Asheville. Always looking for a delicious doughnut, we stopped in, and Dixie's did not disappoint. They had so many flavors and varieties to choose from, such as caramel apple, Snickers and maple glazed. It was so hard to choose only six. And the apple fritters are ENORMOUS!! Not only do they serve the best doughnuts but also ice cream, milkshakes and shaved ices. The staff was super friendly, and it has the old school vibe to it. Based on our treats tonight, we

I've only been here one other time and we got shaved Ice. I stopped in real quick to grab a treat for our 4 kids after a family meal. I got 6 donuts and a milkshake for my husband. It was nearly closing on Sunday so I knew they wouldn't have alot left but my kids aren't picky. I was able to get some yummy treats and the ladies working were so kind even after a long day! 10/10 recommend?? My favorite that we got tonight were the blueberry and apple cinnamon my kids loved the m&m donut. I can't wait to go bac

I love it every time we go here! Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing everything!! We went for my mom & dad?s 25 year anniversary as a little treat for the whole family! It?s always an amazing experience here so 10/10 would recommend.(as typed by my 12 year old). PS. Get the cinnamon flower!! ??

What a cute little donut, ice cream and snow cone shop. Everybody really enjoyed the ice cream and from the two dozen, very exotic choices, donuts there was not a single donut left over - very rare. Would definitely recommend giving them a try as it was very affordable and the service was great.

I've traveled all over the country in my motorhome. The donut shops I've encountered have been disappointing. Some only have three different donuts. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. At last! A real donut shop! So many to choose from. I was with a friend and he said " Lets get a half dozen" I said "You only planning on eating one?" A dozen it is! Be sure to get a dozen so you don't have to turn around and go back for.more before you get home.

Cutest little doughnut shop! The staff was so helpful and friendly. First time going today and we will go back. Ordered a milkshake, shaved ice, banana split, and 1/2 a dozen doughnuts! Oh so good on this warm day!

We were so lucky to have found Dixie's Donuts a we traveled through the area. We bought more than we should have, and enjoyed every bite. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

Awesome doughnuts! Great variety to choose from as well.

When one walks in the door of this hidden gem yourbgreeted by the most welocming lady. She takes great pride in her worknwhich is above well deserved. There ia muxh more thsn doughnuts offered here.. There is fritters, croissants, ice cream coffee and much more. The delicious treats easily are large enough to take the place of any breakfast sandwich. The box of 12 is the way to go. The store should be on a sitcom because of its lovely an interesting array of guest that they whole heartedly take

I had a really good experience here! ???? They had what I was looking for (blueberry cake donuts). Employees were kind. The shop was clean. They also have ice cream ?? (:

We stumbled upon this place by accident. We'll worth going back. Doughnuts were delishous, wide variety, and the staff were so nice!

Donuts are amazing. Service was friendly and nice. First time there and answered all our question. Fresh delicious soft donuts. Will definitely be going back there. Was well worth the 80 min drive.t

Should have taken the hint when I Notice mouse droppings?. But my food had hair in it too ? awesome thanks

I drive 45 minutes for these delicious beauties!!! WARNING - They're incredibly addictive!! But, oh so very much worth every bite, calorie, and cent. Nothing compares!!! I can't wait to try all the flavors to come/existing. Thank-you Dixie for being the very best!!! Y'all blow my mind!!!

What a hidden gem! Just off 421, this donut shop makes incredible, homemade treats. Definitely worth the stop on your way to Boone!

Pumpkin cream cheese donuts were amazing! It was hard to choose my favorite!

My favorite donut shop! The dounts are fresh and delicious! The employees are great!!

Awesome Doughnuts!!! We reside in Taylorsville but we'll definitely make the drive to Wilkes for these awesome delights! The young lady who was working there today was wonderful and friendly as well.

these donuts were sooo delicious! the French toast donut was definitely my favorite! the filled donuts exceeded my expectations truly, they put an amazing amount of filling! will be back for sure

Some of the best doughnuts I've ever eaten

The service is always fast and friendl.The atmosphere is always festive and clean and the donuts and croissants are always delicious!

We stopped in yesterday for the first time, how this little gem has been only 15 mins away and I did not know is crazy! Anyhoo the establishment is so cute, everyone was kind and welcoming but let me tell you about their donuts!!! We were blown away, there were so many to choose from. Presentation was phenomenal. We got a dozen and immediately tried each one. All of them were absolutely amazing! We of course had left overs and they were still great the next day. Already anticipating our next trip.

We've been getting Donuts from Dixie pretty much since they opened their doors and they have never disappointed! We especially love their "Happy Birthday" donuts and have used them at 3 of our children's parties. This is definitely the best place in town if you're looking for something sweet and special!

I stopped there on my way to work, ordered a dozen assorted donuts, no complaints from anyone!

Love stopping here and getting some ice cream and donuts. best place in town !!!

Staying at Bandit?s Roost campground d and here about this shop. It is a must stop location. Great selection of really good donuts.

This is the cutest, most inviting donut shop we have ever been to. We got a variety of different donuts to try and every single one was finger licking good! The best donuts we?ve ever had!! 100% recommend!

We loved our visit to Dixie Donuts this am. We enjoyed a beautiful Sunday morning country drive and bought 12 awesome donuts, an iced coffee and chocolate milk!!

We stopped in on October 25, 2022. The donut selection was great. The woman who greeted and helped us was kind, patient, and friendly. The coffee was delicious donut shop coffee and was good and hot. We purchased glazed and also cream filled donuts. The donuts were fresh and amazing. We look forward to our next visit and highly recommend this place!

Loveee Libby!!!! We are long time lovers of these donuts. We had Libby bring her food truck to our wedding reception and it was perfect! Our guests loved the variety of donuts, ice cream and shaved iced. Libby was so kind and attentive to everyone and was a true joy to work with. Thank you again!!

Delicious donuts from the food truck at Carolina in the Fall Festival. We got 6 different ones and they were all tasty, fresh and filled full! Key Lime was my favorite - yum!

A little pricely but good apple fritters

Great people!!! Amazing donuts!!! Great customer service!!!

Stopped in on the way home from camping. We got red velvet and when we were offered cream cheese frosting, we were immediately intrigued. Picked up a dozen and took a bite immediately and loved it. Cannot and would not compare to any donut chain. Absolutely fresh and still tasted amazing after the drive home hours later. Love to support local and small business. Definitely being added to our stops when we head out that way to camp. Phenomenal people running the establishment as well.

Wonderful, I love this place. Freshly made, thick creamy inside, nice people. They serve ice cream too but I have yet to try that.

Based on the great reviews and word of mouth I took the 45 min trip and was disappointed. Unfortunately I will not be back. The cake donuts left an after taste in our mouth that was not pleasing. This was a first for our family to NOT finish a donut.

when I go in the back way to Wilkesboro, I stopped by and get donuts here. She?s got more than just donut child this place is really good.

The ice cream were and the fresh doughnuts were delicious

Awesome spot to find while on an adventure!

Great tasting donuts and several different flavor options. They are a bit ready, but tasted great.

Extensive, unique and delicious options for donuts. Service was great too! I can't imagine going anywhere else when I want something sweet.

We went around 4pm on a Friday and they were sold out of donuts, so we got ice cream. It was not ground breaking or something I would come back to get. The next day we drove and tried the donuts, they were pretty good. The coffee shops we went to were all selling them as well so in the future I would just buy them with my coffee. A younger girl helped us and she was super nice, but I did not catch her name.

Donuts DEFINITELY make you wanna come back for more. I would drive out of my way to get them anytime! Also the ice cream, milkshakes, and shaved ice are so good ?? ?? And the owner is amazing! (Best Apple fritter, fruity pebble, Oreo crunch and cherry filled donuts in town) and lots more!

This quaint little donut shop was a nice quick stop on my way home. The woman that helped me was polite and patient while I decided what I wanted. They have lots of options, and not just donuts. The prices were very reasonable, as well. It'll be a regular stop for me when I'm in the area. And, of course they're great tasting, too!

Their donuts are great and they have a wide variety to choose from! The staff is also very friendly and helpful. They were out of some donuts that my kids wanted and they made some for them right then! We also loved the apple fritters!! We will be back!

I absolutely loved my donuts. I got half a dozen and so far I have eaten the red velvet, carrot cake, and chocolate flavors. So moist! So flavorful! Obviously homemade... the strawberry glazed cream filled has pieces of fresh strawberry in the glaze... I was in my PJs so I sent my boyfriend in to get them and I am so glad I did!! An absolute gem of a place.

We discovered this while camping at Bandit's Roost. They have the best donuts ever. My spouse said he would never eat another apple fritter from anywhere else. Dixie's were the best. My favorites were the cinnamon flower and glazed. You cannot go wrong here. Try it. You will be glad you did.

The donuts are absolutely delicious. The employees were very friendly and welcoming. So glad we finally stopped in and will be returning anytime we are in the area.

What a neat and amazing find! Down from Bandits Roost it?s easy to leave camp for some of the freshest, homemade from scratch doughnuts, They open at 0630 so put the coffee on and get a dozen. Don?t pass up the apple fritter?absolutely amazing and fresh. Support a local bakery and enjoy!!

First time we've been here and the donuts were so good and very fresh .

We stopped by around 5:30pm - we were visiting from Charlotte and on our way to dinner to grab a few donuts for an after-dinner treat. The donuts and croissants were amazing! I particularly loved the blueberry cake donut with cinnamon / sugar on top. Yum!

Love this place, me and my son try and stop once a week on our way home from school and there's always so many donuts to choose from, they're always fresh, the staff are friendly, and the prices aren't bad either. It's a cool little place to check out if you haven't yet!

Best donuts shop I've ever seen. Large variety of wonderful donuts

My favorite (and apparently everyone else's too!) Donut shop in Wilkesboro. Very close to the reservoir but just minutes from downtown. Try the almond Joy or snickers donuts and familiar favorites too! A must when visiting the area.

Holy cow. Yes! Sooooo good.

Croissants are the best, but they sell out fast. Had variety of donuts and all are always delicious! Wish there was a shop closer to me, but worth the trip. One of my fave donut places! Very friendly service as well.

Very fresh donuts and the service was great!

Delicious donuts! I?ve been eyeballing this place for a while since moving to Boomer, i finally got the chance to try it and i?m glad i did! Definitely skipping krispy kreme or dunkin? donuts next time and getting Dixie Donuts - I love supporting local businesses instead & this one lives up to the hype! Great, fresh donuts at an awesome price.

Donuts were delicious! Freshly made and so yummy! Gooey chocolate and super soft , melt in your mouth donuts! We had to indulge and have several! Staff was kind also! We were driving through and found them on google.

Hidden gem !! Great donuts super friendly staff. Only reason why not a 5 star, they need some more seating even if it?s outside. Donut themselves are a solid 5 !!!

OMG, absolutely loved the donuts but the apple turnover has me stargazer, I don't know if I've ever had one this good

This was my first visit here and I will definitely be back. The coffee was good. The apple fritter was the best I've ever had and it was huge! Friendly staff, good variety.

Seems like a weird location, however the donuts are great!

Great donuts! Friendly staff, nice selection of coffee, ice cream and snow cones too. I was amazed at the variety and neat flavors of donuts and man they are delicious!

Really surprised the donuts were awesome and got an icee next door, got a dozen and all was great!

Well so I just happened to be driving by in the area heading to get gas and going to complete a Vue assignment I picked up, when I seen a shaved ice sign to the left of me, along with other goodies it seemed. I've been wanting to have a shaved ice cone for the longest and here it was! Leia was who I ran into behind the counter and a lovely/ friendly experience. Somehow she got me to get their hottest selling item,the apple fritter, along w my snow cone lol. Their apple fritters are huge as heck. I only trie

Pleasantly surprised. Doughnuts were good, but most of all I was happy that the store was spotlessly clean. Hand sanitizer on the counter, Clorox wipes near the sink in their kitchen area and the lady who helped me wore a mask. Given the pandemic, I was not unhappy to smell bleach and pine sol instead of doughnuts! Good prices, good variety, and good service. I will definitely return.

Y'all, this place is a quaint little doughnut shop, but the doughnuts are amazing! We had several varieties of the filled doughnuts, and man, they are great! Tons of filling soft yummy bread, amazing!

Just stop and get some doughnuts, life?s too short to pass them by, you won?t regret it. Best secret gem here- the glazed croissants. Best go early if you plan to get one though.

Best doughnuts around! Although their profile says no delivery, they do! The staff is so kind and gracious, they delivered a birthday surprise for me! Wonderful pastries, fantastic service!

The staff was friendly, the doughnuts are very good for an occasional stop. Just as good as the name brands.

I went there and there was only like 3 donuts, I asked the boy at the counter if they had any other ones and he very rudely said no to me. I felt unwelcome and I came in an hour and a half before they closed. Don?t go here these people are rude.

We were camping at Bandits Roost Campground and we decided to stop in and try out the donuts. I have not had donuts like these in years, they were great. I highly recommend that people stop by this place and get a treat.

Amazing donuts. Staff was really nice and polite. I just wish it was in a bigger space where they could have more seating available. Overall, we will go back. Best donuts we have had in a long time.

We stopped tho get a cup of coffee on the way back to Raleigh. Pleasantly surprised with the quality of coffee. Employees were kind and prompt service. A great doughnut, as well.

Excellent donuts and ice cream made locally. Superb customer service. They brewed us fresh coffee 5 minutes before closing. Coffee could be made stronger though.

I prefer this place to Dunkin Donuts. Dixie has better selection and the doughnuts taste better in my opinion. They just have coffee, nothing fancy, but that's all I need. The only downside is they are kinda out of the way. But if you do find yourself going by, don't pass them up, give Dixie a try!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Everything about this business is wonderful ~`?`~

Camping at Worrier creek last weekend and thought we would give them a try... Excellent decision because the doughnuts were fantastic and the people there were very nice.. Dixie Doughnuts will be a regular stop when we camp in that area

The red velvet, boston cream and maple donuts I had along our way out to Boone were 5/5. If you're craving good donuts, it's worth the drive out!

Dixie Donuts provided the donuts for my wedding, and they were both beautiful and absolutely delicious! They have a great variety of donuts to choose from and are willing to accommodate your needs.

Fresh and delicious! Probably some of the best I've ever had[And this is coming from a Krispy Kreme fan]. I got creme filled and got daughters whole school class chocolate covered and many asked where they were from because they thought they were delicious.

The best doughnuts and friendly staff. I was spoiled with a restaurant in my hometown that specialized in doughnuts and baked goodies and a bait and tackle shop that made awesome cinnamon doughnuts and hot chocolate. Dixie did a great job ranking right up there with both of those.

My favorrrrrite place for "icy drink" Bahama Mama with snow cream is my guilty pleasure!!! They are loaded with flavor never any plain ice in my cup!!! Donuts are great too!!

My kiddos love to go to the lake for the day and what better than donuts or ice cream before or after a trip to the lake the location is absolutely perfect and it's a great sugar pick up for anyone burning those calories outside the staff are always friendly there's restrooms and places to sit inside and outside so it's a win for me

Delicious donuts. Will definitely take the long way home to stop by here sometimes!

Dounts that are much better than Dunkin Donuts. Classic and unique/special flavors along with ice cream, coffee, and a few seating tables, this atmosphere is perfect for a snack at anytime of day.

I just love this place. I love their donuts. Oh, i just love everything . I've been coming here for years . Awesome place . Thank guys your awesome.!!!
