Customer Reviews

I was really hopeful to try this place for the first time, but it looks like it?ll be my last. The first two bites of my kolache were good until I noticed the bread had some ink? on it. Not sure what that is from but I didn?t see anything on the brown paper bag that would cause that. Also noticed they sell out 98% before they even open, so unless you pre-order you won?t get what you want. Enjoy your donuts if you like them, I won?t be there to take them ;)

As the #56 donut shop in U.S., statistically speaking, Donuts D Lite averages a 4.4 rating across all platforms. And this charming little family-owned spot doesn't disappoint, offering delicious donuts made fresh. As the only donut shop I could find in South Alabama that opens at 4:30 a.m., they gained my attention. All other shops weren't opening until later after I would have already departed the area on my road trip to Louisiana. So I gave Donuts D Lite a try. And I'm glad I did! I highly recommend thei

Genuinely the best homemade doughnuts you will ever taste. The light airy sweet dough encased in a delicate glaze and variety of flavors is perfecttt. It WILL become an addiction that gets you up & out the house at 5am just to get em before they disappear!

Today was my second time there. I heard about this place from my instructor who lives in Wetumpka who brought in doughnuts for the class. The doughnuts are huge and delicious. The owners are friendly and kind. Fast service. This will be my go to from now on.

Came here early in the morning to make sure I got to get all their awesome donuts. Very impressed. Easy to miss from the street though, but worth it. The donuts are perfectly flavored and aren't the type to sit heavy in your stomach

Love this place. Donuts are top tier. The owner is always friendly and is nice to my son!

Very nice people that do a great job making donuts

Mmm Mmm, yummy delight! ???? I do not live in AL but while visiting I stopped here. Returned the following week for more. Delicious cake doughnuts. I ordered a variety including blueberry, red velvet, another with crumb topping ; which was my new favorite, and long john + glazed. I see why the customer before me walked out with 12 dozen... Soft, fried just right, not too heavy, and the right donut glaze ratio. You taste doughnut, it is not overpowered by sugar or saturated to the point when the bread feels

Great tasting breakfast burrito and very friendly, but my 4year old son and i thrown away an half a dozen of doughnuts. Donut heaven in prattville is our go to spot almost everyday. Donut heaven have way lower prices and excellent any and everything you buy from there. You can actually taste the difference between the two donut shops. My son was very disappointed

Easy to order. Pick-up was fast. The donuts were fabulous as usual. Highly recommend to everyone. We will be ordering again.

Always good. My favorites are the fabulous donuts, donut holes, kolaches, and breakfast burritos. Family owned and operated. Great service and fair pricing. Get there early though... They sell out everyday!

Let me just say I have ordered here for years since this business arrived in the Millbrook location and have always supported and referred. Years I would order for various occasions. Recently I placed an order and had to make a slight change for the first time in years. Well I didn?t think I would experience the level of rudeness just because I changed an order. As a professional and business owner you have to always take the professional route and treat customers kindly. You never know what they may be goi

Just ate 3 of their donuts that a coworker brought in today and can officially say this is the only place I will be buying donuts from here on out. I don't know the name but there is a donut that has like a crunchy red outside and it is the best donut I've ever eaten in my life. I also highly recommend the red velvet cake donut. Perfection!

My whole family loves Donuts D Lite ! The owner is so sweet and personable. Great value and tastes amazing . I was thrilled to find a local place that sells sausage and jalapeno kolachies !!!! Of course my daughter loves the sprinkled donuts. The apple fritter is to die for ! If you're in the area, stop in, say hello, and get a fresh donut....or 12 ....and don't forget the kolachies !

I called in an order on a Sunday morning and was so pleased with the pleasant customer service I received! The donuts were fresh and very light. I now understand why they sell out so fast!

Today might not have been their best day, but the donuts tasted like old cooking oil. Restaurants reuse oil after it has been strained, but it can become rancid after a while.

These are the best donuts I've had anywhere! They are only open until 11am CT or until the donuts are gone. Try the pumpkin spice donut...it's the best. They also have other breakfast foods.

Oh My !!! These donuts are Fabulous, like morsels from Heaven, the Apple Fritters are like a taste sensation. And the staff is always very friendly, even before 6am.

Great Donuts and super friendly people. Been back a few times. A must stop if you like sweets.

Best donut place in the area. Wish they were open on Mondays...hard to have their great donuts on the first day of a meeting. But I get the day off thing.

Best donuts in the area! Very friendly, always fresh, but definitely go early because the good ones will be gone.

Love this place. Everything is cooked that night before business opens the next morning. They close when they sell out. Nothing that was cooked from that day is taken into the next business day. Always always a friendly smile when you walk in the door!!!
