Customer Reviews

The donuts are delicious and not too sweets, especially the cake donuts; fluffy and moist. The coffees are good and great coffee selection. Employees are friendly. The macaroons are so good, not too sweet and good amount of filling on the macaroons. They just added sandwiches and the kolache is amazing ??.

Another very nice cover/ donut shop in a very crowded market. Relaxing atmosphere with a good selection (a couple of dozen) of sweet treats. Service was excellent and friendly. Nice touch of adding a couple of donut holes to our order. Only issue was coffee was not very hot.

My kids and I are donut lovers, and this place is a hidden gem for us. The donuts are bigger and much better quality than normal donut franchises?. And they served free mini munchkin donuts on the side in every order. My kids? favorites are cereal donut and blue frost donut. I like their vanilla cream-filled donut. The cream is fresh and full-filled to enjoy enough. I recommend this with a black coffee together.

Delicous donuts, great prices, and incredible atmosphere. I wouldn't bother with chains when this local (presumably family owned?) donut shop offers just about all you could want. It's nice to know I can support the community with a smile at a place like this! Hope their business takes off!

I recently visited a local donut shop for the first time and was thoroughly impressed with the quality and service. I will definitely be returning to this donut store in the future.

Excellent customer service! Friendly staff! They will listen to you. The macaroons are delicious. My favorites are the donut holes, sugar twists, apple fritters, and coconut donuts. They have a variety of coffee selections plus their own creative blend. If you crave coffee and donuts, try donutsnow

Donuts are amazing. Amazing customer service. I live about 40 plus minutes away and it's worth the drive. I love the fact that they are not super sweet and they are definitely not greasy. When family come in town I always try to get a few dozens donuts. 10 out of 10 highly recommend ????

I love the Bavarian donuts here. Nice owner and friendly staffs. A great place to enjoy our Sunday hangout after church. Don?t forget their amazing coffees, especially, the Americano combined with a slight sweet of the donuts treats.

The staff here is super friendly and their donuts are always fresh. I love getting their good ol regular glazed donuts and their Thai Tea with bobba... let me tell ya, their Thai Tea is one of the creamiest best Thai Teas out there. It's just made a little different from everywhere else, trust me. If you're around this area and looking for good donuts and good drinks, I don't think you could do much better than here. Check them out!!

I am a sucker for donuts even though I should not be eating them I saw the sign and had to come inside for some quick donuts and donut holes the environment is very clean the staff here is very friendly a large order was made in front of me they were very patient and helpful but Donuts are pretty fresh here.

Very nice. We just went with my husband to get donuts. Loved everything but my favorite was Apple fritter

Excellent customer service, helped me take the boxes out to the car and even threw in so e free donut holes. Fresh and delicious, can't rage highly enough.

Dubai choco macaron was to die for. Macarons are fresh and delicious! Donuts are fresh and they always add extra donut holes

So good! Fresh and Custom donuts, great customer service. Cute ambiance. The earlier you arrive the more flavors to choose from as they sell out! Black Sugar Caramel Bubble Tea with Tapioca is phenomenal.

This morning I purchased a large coffee and I noticed when the lady was making it, she used Kroger brand whole milk. Non-organi nor half and half was used, and the coffee was horrible Now keep in mind that a gallon of that cheap milk is about $3.00 or a little less. I was charged $5.78 for that maybe 14oz coffee. Which means for everyone of thhese "large latte" you can almost buy 2 gallons of that cheap Kroger brand milk. The reason that I'm writing this post is because the latte had no flavor. And, it l

As an avid boba lover, I was very excited to have another place with boba opening up in Buford. Their bubble tea can satisfy anybody looking for a fix. I've only had their Taro and Thai milk teas. Unfortunately, they both tasted very similar, but it was still satisfying. Their bubbles are smaller than usual but that comes down to personal preference. The place is really cute (the first time I saw it, I couldn't help but say kawaii!) and chill. Their desserts are heavenly, and they have a good variety. It i

I?ve started my DONUT VENTURE! Thus far I?ve only ran into one 5 Star Donut Shop, that?s Donuts Now in Buford! Donuts Now also have bubble tea etc. Their storefront was clean and has a relaxing ambiance to sit and enjoy your treats! They had a special after 2 pm, 12 donuts for $11, when my kids and I arrived. Friendly staff, no long wait, fresh, delicious and fun donuts! As expected from a storefront, there was NO MINIMUMS in flavor selections we chose! My teens just RAVED about the experience, all the wa

This is literally the best place for donuts..they are fresh and perfectly delicious lots of variety, friendly staff, perfect customer service, great prices. Way better than Krispy Kreme and dunkin.

Great place for early morning and afternoon coffee/lemonade/sweet treat. I had the mango lemonade it is soooo yummy! Not too sweet or tart. We also had red velvet donut, a kolache, and half a dozen donut holes?all gone under 5 mins. Come early so you can have more sweet treat to buy before they all run out of the day. Open 7-5 and closed on Tuesday.

This is by far one of the best coffee spots in the area. The staff is always pleasant and goes the extra mile to make you feel like family. The donuts are out of this world, recommend the apple fritter.

What a great local business! Their staff is so friendly and patient. I had a lychee black tea boba and it was delicious, refreshing, and not too sweet. I also ordered a donut and they included 2 donut holes for free. All were soft and delicious (there?s no picture because I ate them so quickly!) Their boba is a bit pricey for the size you get, but it?s yummy. I?ll definitely return for more donuts and friendly service!

This is my favorite donut shop ?? Donut Now has delicious teas and coffees and an amazing variety of delicious pastry. And I love that this a local small business. 10/10 recommend to all my friends.

Best donuts we have found in GA ! Crew is so kind and you can tell they take pride in their business. Anytime we have people in town we come here. Make sure to come early.

Really cute shop! The service was very good. Donuts were cute and tasted great! I loved the atmosphere and the friendly service. I had a coffee too which was fresh & hot, just the way I like it!

It was around 10:00 when we got there. Not busy at all. I went for a basic pink frosting with sprinkles because it looked like a donut right out of a cartoon. The frosting was really good and didn?t feel artificial like fondant. Individual donuts were generally under $2. The lemon hibiscus tea was AMAZING!!!

Small, family ?? owned donut ?? ?? shop that is one word: delicious!!! The chai latte was the BEST I've ever had!!

Good taste, but I don?t like sweet, so donut is too sweet with me, but ham cheese croissant is good??

Very relaxed Ambiente, calm music & so yummy sweets! Staff is lovely & very friendly, always love to come with my mom here to enjoy some time together??

My family and I absolutely love this place! Not only do we get to support a small family business, but the donuts are absolutely delicious (and reasonably priced.) They also sell coffee and smoothies. One of our favorite little spots since moving to Buford.

Super friendly staff, very clean, relaxing aesthetic. There are signs to remind patrons that hands are sanitized before making drinks. I highly recommend supporting this adorable little cafe!

My favorite donut shop to go now. My kids love love it. Donuts are delicious and come in a variety of flavors.

Best stinking donuts EVER! So light & fluffy! And not overly sweet like other donut places (ex. Shipleys, Dunkin?s, Krispy Kreme) because it?s Korean owned & operated! Asians don?t need people to grit on sugar to enjoy sweets! They are AWESOME!?!

There drinks are awesome. The customer service is excellent, kind, and very patient. Environment USA clean and promotes cleanliness at all times.

Great addition to this area! These donuts are great and the service is fantastic. They are much better than the big chain stores and prices are the same or less. They make them fresh and you can tell. I had several different kinds of donuts and really enjoyed the red velvet donut as well as the simple glazed donuts.

Great tasting donuts! Purchased 2 dozen for my team and they absolutely loved it. Definitely a step above the Krispy Kr?me and Dunkin.

Donuts are my weakness, I?ve never gone to local shops for donuts. I always went to Krispy Kreme or Dunkin? however I have found my new favorite donuts. Pricing is incredibly competitive with big chains, and the light and fluffy donuts literally melt in your mouth. Not overly sweet, not super dense. A real hidden gem but if you?re ever in the Hamilton mill Kroger, stop by and get a wonderful treat

Great food and coffee. The prices are very reasonable too

For sure one of the best donut/coffee shops ever. The staff is super friendly and welcoming person ??

The women who took my order was very kind; I got the Thai tea with tapioca pearls and she made it less sweet for me! The boba was on the tougher side but still really good! Also I got the eclair, and wow they didn?t skimp on the filling (you can choose a jelly or cream)! The women also have me to free donut holes which were delicious and light. Basically, the drinks and donuts are delicious! I will be back and I?d definitely recommend it :)

Our new favorite donut place! Our usual place was closed one day when I promised our daughter donuts and by a happy accident this was the next closest place. The donuts, bubble tea, service, and atmosphere were all so great we switched permanently. They have beautiful and tasty macarons if that's your thing as well.

Great coffee and donuts for a great price! I?m pretty picky so this was an exciting find. Although I wish there was a vanilla sprinkled without food coloring, I recognize I am an adult child and their plain glazed was absolutely delicious on their own. Will return to this Kroger specifically for a donut and a coffee!

Delicious donuts. Delicious coffee. Delicious boba tea. And a friendly staff.

This place is consistently incredible EVERY SINGLE TIME! The donuts are always fresh, light, and perfectly sweet. In my opinion, you can?t get a donut like this anywhere else. I also love the iced caramel macchiato! 10\10 will ALWAYA recommend!

Always great people and fresh products. We got our baby shower donuts from here. Great variety. The coffee is great, as well. I usually go on Wednesdays and sometimes Saturday.

such a cute little spot! ladies were so sweet and donuts are so fresh and yummy. i need to come back and try their boba and coffee!!

Donuts are fresh very good especially the red velvet my new favorite spot

Found this shop today. I love eclairs. And so I was hoping they might have some available. To my surprise they had two left. It was around 2pm they were perfect. I have actually never had them stuffed with filling as I ordered. Usually they are pre-stuffed. OMG! These were so fresh. And to my surprise she put 4 donut holes in the bag with them. I will definitely be going back. Please support this small business. So so so good!!!!

First time here with my kids. Got some donuts and drinks. Everything was delicious as well as resonably priced. Customer service was great too. And side note.. thank you to the man who took my order for giving me more sugar in my cappuccino when you saw it wasn?t quite to my liking. lol you fixed it perfectly. As well as going out of your way taking a picture of the receipt for me. I?m So sorry for being such a pain. I truly appreciate your customer service so much!! Lovely shop you guys have! Would defini

What a great place! Fresh and delicious donuts and one of the best cups of cappuccino I've had! Fast and friendly service too!

i love this place good service nice owners good to just grab a cup of coffee and a bag of donut holes would highly recommed

Living in Buford for 15 years, I was so excited when this donut shop opened up near my home and was even more excited when they added macarons to their offerings! Since this past summer, I have enjoyed adding macarons to the growing list of sweet treats I enjoy here. However, on more than one occasion, I have been left standing and waiting for someone to acknowledge me when I walk into the shop. This has occurred when I was a sole patron in the shop, as well as when there were a few other people waiting

Friendly staff. Really good donuts and coffee with a cozy atmosphere.

These are the best donuts in the area. They have some creative offerings and the donuts are always fresh. To top it off, their prices are reasonable too. We get donuts every Saturday as a family, and this is where my youngest always wants me to go now.

I really enjoyed this place! I love the cute little shop atmosphere and the donuts and drinks are amazing! I wanted to try everything but I got a hibiscus and lemon tea and Carmel macchiato which were both delicious. I also got a dozen donuts because they were only 9 dollars after 2pm! The donuts are so soft and melt in your mouth. She filled the eclairs fresh for the order. So yummy! I really love finding and supporting great local businesses like this!

They have the best filled donuts! I drive 50 miles once a month for a medical appointment and always stop in for 2 Bavarian cream filled donuts. One 10x sugared for hubby and one glazed filled for me. They fill them fresh when ordered. Yum!

Hands down the best donuts in town! Delicious and always fresh! You will never eat Dunkin again. There's no comparison.They are fluffy inside and a slight crisp on the outside, not overly sweet and they melt in your mouth. The staff there is super friendly and they always throw in a few free donut holes with your order. The bubble teas are tasty also.

These donuts are dangerous... I could probably eat 6 in one sitting.

AMAZING!! Donuts and drinks are delicious and service is impeccable. Great aesthetic and nice music to study or to meet up with friends. The workers are so kind and friendly. Their drinks are so good and my mouth was watering after i took my first bite of the donuts. This experience was a amazing and I will be coming back here very soon.

Delicious!! Everything taste so fresh and they took no short cuts with the sizes.

Literally the best donuts I've ever had. They have some creative donuts that are really good but the regular glazed donuts are so far above Krispy Kreme and Dunkin it's not even funny. The prices are very competitive as well. Definitely a great donut place.

The bubble tea, donuts, and coffee are all great here! You can tell that every item you receive is made with love, and care. The coffee especially was an eye opener for me, I?ve never had such a real mocha. It wasn?t just made with sugar and hot chocolate, the best way I can describe it is comparing a mc nugget to a gourmet, carefully seasoned chicken breast. The staff are really friendly too, you can?t feel any tension or stress in this establishment. They take their time when making your order to make sur

I like to stop by before I begin my shopping. Great donuts, great service, great atmosphere. Prices are fair, coffee taste good, and my daughter loves their macaroons and mocha. Friendly service.

I am so happy I found this place! Their Donut Holes are the BEST I have ever had! They are always so friendly and helpful and I go weekly because I love their donuts so much. They also have Jittery Joe's coffee, which is an Athens staple I miss from college and I love that they serve it with their donuts. Do visit! You won't regret it

Wonderful donut place! Very clean, friendly service, and amazing donuts. The owner took care of us and she?s very sweet. We tried a little of everything- cake donuts, yeast donuts, croissants, apple fritter, sour cream. All were VERY fresh and tasty. They were as good or better than KK. We will definitely be back. I plan to try some of the beverages next time.

I recently experienced the donuts here. The donut holes were a perfect combination of light and fluffy. They melted within the first bite. The regular donuts were exquisite and had just the right amount of glaze to not over power your senses with sugar. Highly recommend!

????????????Really good donuts really good drinks I highly recommend them????????????

Donuts were the lightest, airiest donuts I've ever had (in a really great way!) and my partner said the cappuccino was the closest to a real Italian cappuccino that he's had in the states. Very good, everyone was very kind, and we'll definitely be back!!

Awesome local business with some of the most delicious donuts I have ever had. Try the chocolate covered sour cream donut?easily the best 89 cents I ever spent. This place earns five stars: friendly staff, clean shop, great donuts, and affordable prices. See you again soon, Donut Now!

This is my favorite donut place! My family gets super excited every time I bring a couple of boxes home to share. If you?re into light, fluffy donuts that aren?t overly sweet, definitely check this place out. I store them in an air tight container on the counter and they?re still soft and tasty after a few days!

My son told me about this bakery as he shops at Kroger. I stopped in today (May 4th) and was so glad that I did. First of all, the shop is neat and clean and the variety of baked goods is large. The lady who waited on me was wonderful and very nice. I bought a variety of different goods, from glazed donuts to apple fritters and they tasted FANTASTIC! The glazed donut holes tasted as good as Krispy Kreme's, and I love Krispy Kreme. All the baked goods I bought were filled with flavor, but not overly sweet.

I purchased a variety dozen and every single one was bland at best, sour at worst. For the money, it was wildly disappointing. The only part of the oreo doughnut that was sweet was the cookie that was on top. The sour cream doughnuts had no flavor at all, including the chocolate icing. The jelly in the filled doughnut actually tasted spoiled, like it had been sitting out for days. My tongue was tingling worryingly for some time after. The icing on this disappointing cake is that someone abandoned their sh

Very fresh and tasty. My kids had bubble tea and said it?s the best they?ve ever had. Ordered a variety of donuts and they were fresh. Love the option to choose what filling for donuts.

Genuinely have some of the best donuts I?ve ever had, always fresh and soft. Their staff is also amazing and they have a great large menu to chose from. Totally addicted to this place

Super yummy! Cute store too.

Half the time i visit the area, i come here. Have been since they opened up and the quality and atmosphere has never faltered. You cant go back to regular dunkin donuts after having one of these fresh donuts. The prices are worth it for the quality and hard work put into everything.

Highly recommend Donuts Now. Their donuts are so fresh, so yummy. It's my new go to place. People are very nice, very professional.

The best and amazing donuts with the drinks here! It?s very fresh, soft and tasty..! As well they are very friendly and kind :) If anyone comes, I would straight up recommend it.

Comfortable location and tasty donuts and coffee. Such a nice staff and made our afternoon visit a delight!

EDIT Lately Donut Now seems to be having quality control problems as their donuts aren't what they used to be. I'm hopeful they make it back to the #1 shop soon. END EDIT...Perhaps the best donuts in the 12 known multiverses. Extremely excellent service and fantastically friendly staff who are always willing to help with my Korean. Go here, buy and eat a lot of donuts, repeat.

I googled best doughnuts in Buford and found this great place here. I ordered over two dozens of doughnuts for our office and everyone loved it. After reading the latest reviews for Krispy Kreme, I didn?t want to take the chance in going knowing their doughnuts wouldn?t be as fresh or ready at 7:30 in the morning! Donuts Now offers Glazed, Sour Cream, Oreo, Blueberry, Chocolate Glazed and more which all were amazing!

The owners are very nice and the coffee was good but the donuts have a funny taste. Sorry to say We spent too much money to have to end up throwing the donuts away.

Love this donut shop! The ladies are so kind and friendly. They make the most delicious Donuts, and yummy coffees to go with it. Highly recommend!

Variety of donuts and snacks to choose from, clean, quiet, cozy, and good customer service.

Great ambiance, friendly staff and Yummy food and drinks. They are always consistent!!!!!

I just love it. Coffee is great... Donuts are very tasty... Store is clean and inviting (soft classical music!) Prices are very reasonable and the staff is helpful and friendly. We are definitely fans.

Loved the sweet potato latte w coconut milk. Not too sweet and so delicious. So friendly too.

Fantastic donut assortment! And a very warm service! Highly recommended

Amazing customer service, amazing aesthetic of the store always have nice music and overall a very good place to go for studying or writing. But above all their donuts are to die for. Way better than Krispy Kreme not to oily but not to dry. I recommend the oreo donuts or the cake donuts.
