Customer Reviews

Ordered through Uber eats for Father's Day. Heard rave reviews so we were excited to try. These are the worst donuts we have ever had. We ordered the 1/2 dozen specialty mix. Pictures attached. The cronut was the only good one. The Fathers Day one was a iced hard blah. The Nutella was so thick, not even my kids were able to eat it. The peach was filled with some kind of gelatinous fake sweet orange stuff. The plain glaze were easily compared to the packaged ones you get from a grocery store. What an expensi

The customer service at this location and the general energy was just wonderful! Very welcoming and decorated for the season. The woman who helped us gave a tour of their selection as well as making a few recommendations for award winning donuts. We decided to get a full dozen of varied kinds and they are all amazing! We will definitely be back. A new family favorite.

Had donuts delivered to our office via Uber Eats, and they were amazing! Would definitely get donuts from here again ?? the hot chocolate was also very good

Still my favorite donut and breakfast place! The donuts are so far above the big chains that it isn't even fair ??. The biscuits and other hot breakfast stuff is great as well. Even better than the food is the staff. They're always nice, attentive and make sure you leave with a smile.

Best doughnuts and coffee ever! Get there early to get the best. As always support your local businesses !

Tried it for the first time and was surprised, the reviews here are good but the doughnuts are somehow even better. Place is clean and nice inside, super fast service. This is my new go to doughnut shop.

I stumbled across this doughnut shop this morning and it did not disappoint! The two ladies working were very kind and welcoming. They had a lot of choices to chose from and for these to be fresh & homemade the price for half a dozen speciality doughnuts was very fair!

Honestly the service is probably the best I?ve ever seen at a donut shop! Very welcoming and super nice people. I had a Apple Fritter and the Kolaches. They were both just ok, nothing great and nothing bad. I would come back again. My buddy says you must try the red velvet donut because it was great.

The only donuts I eat are glazed from Krispy Kreme. I'm rarely near one, so I don't get them often. I was craving one but didn't want to make the drive. I came across Dough In The Box on Google maps. I skeptically decided to give them a try. The inside is clean and open. The employees are nice and helpful. I like that they toss some donut holes in with your order. Got home and warmed the glazed raised I purchased. DITB has a new repeat customer! Delicious and affordable! Who can ask for more? Update: Since

Donuts worth driving for haha amazing. I also love their breakfast sandwiches and lattes. Has a good sitting area to enjoy your coffee and donut of choice. Not to sweet just perfect.

Tried this place for the first time and I will say it wasn?t that bad, the Cap?n Crunch donut was stale stale, unable to eat stale, the coffee was not the pick of the litter it was like it had been sitting awhile. The other donuts were good as can see.

We hired Dough in the Box to bake donuts for our brunch wedding reception in lieu of a traditional cake. Dannia provided beautifully decorated donuts and arranged the display perfectly! We were so happy with how they turned out! All of their donuts that we tried are amazing, but we chose several cake donuts and the cannoli donut for our wedding. If you try one donut at Dough in the Box make it the award-winning cannoli!

Great locally owned business. Quick, attentive service and tasty donuts and breakfast sandwiches. This place has become part of my morning routine.

Sooo good! First time and the service was amazing. Horchata iced coffee is the best.

We've been going to Dough in the Box for years. We still stop in when we can, even though we've moved out of the area. Their filled donuts are better than most other places around here, but their specialty donuts like canoli and Nutella are the best. I think that having a great plain glazed donut is a perfect way to judge a donut shop, and their's is one of my favorites.

I came in 3/7/25 & ordered a bacon, egg, & cheese croissant along with a few assorted donuts. The lady that was taking my order asked me my name. I said Laiel & proceeded to spell it out for her as my name is not ordinary. She paused & wrote L then an E. I said L-A-I but she interrupted me & said, I?m just gonna put ?Lea.? Then handed the bag to the cook. That was very disrespectful to my name especially since I was being patient enough to spell it out for her. I?m a chef & I know that service alone can go

Hands down AMAZING !!!!! Everything about this place is just amazing , the service was great , the horchata cold brew was to die for , and the doughnuts were so soft !!!! You have to give this place a try , definitely won?t disappoint!

The donuts were good, and I love the selection. They have the regular fare plus a few unique options. What I really want to point out is the iced coffee. Hawaiian Kona is freaking delicious, but I couldn't taste it. There's way too much milk and vanilla to really enjoy it.

Always enjoy Dough in the Box when we visit the area. These aren't Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. Always fresh! Every box gets some free donut holes too!!

I have driven by this place for a little over a year and never stopped until today. I?m pretty plain when it comes to doughnuts. I don?t need all the cereal and other stuff on top. I walked in and immediately smelled and sweet smell of doughnuts. That?s a good sign! I saw everything looked traditional and they weren?t trying too hard. Even though I got glazed for my first doughnut I was still impressed. Not too sweet or messy.

The lady at counter is so pleasant, informative and helpful. Baked goods extra fresh.

Amazing staff and service. Donuts are donut-ing! Will come back.

Nice independent donut shop. If you are in the area, it's a good choice.

Such a great family owned donut shop! Huge assortment of donuts and breakfast sandwiches.

The donuts here always hit the spot. Their breakfast sandwiches are top notch. I don't drink the coffee myself, but my partner says it's good. Plus you get free donut holes when you buy regular donuts.

Delicious! I went out of my way to go here during a gas shortage and I have no regrets! The picture is missing a donut cuz I have no control lol. Also, they carry my fav coffee, Jamaican me crazy ??

Yummy donuts! The owner is very sweet. We usually get some once a week. My favorite is the chocolate filled ones and the original glaze. My son loves them all ????

Great Midwestern style donut shop. The Long John's are filled with vanilla (my choice) cream on the spot ..... oh boy!!! Worth the stop for sure.

The staff are so welcoming! This is a very unique donut shop that has bacon maple covered donuts OMG!

Best Donut place in neighbor! I definitely love the t-rex croissant!!

Perfect donuts and super nice employees! It's so nice when someone remembers your face. The free donut holes help too. :)

What a hidden gem! Definitely go to for a quick breakfast in the area some of the best donuts I?ve had with friendly service to boot. Definitely recommend stopping in.

Absolute BEST IN CLASS!! Customer service is impeccable, donuts are always fresh, breakfast sandwiches are always freshly made, not microwaved and the coffee is always fresh and hot! The ladies that run this place are so nice and attentive.

Always enjoy this place. There is a sense of lagniappe in the air. Their food is made lovingly and well.

Bacon egg croissant was exceptional! My donuts were good but not great. I got there around 930am and the donuts didn't feel fresh like they were baked that morning. I was hoping they would melt in my mouth, but not so much.

Unbelievably delicious donuts, cronuts, kolaches, and breakfast sandwiches! Their frosting is truly unmatched. Whether it?s a classic, cake, or specialty donut- they are all so incredibly good. Nutella, Oreo, red velvet, the selection is unmatched. The service is fast and friendly! They throw in a couple donut holes with each order and they are phenomenal. Chocolate iced sour cream donuts will be my downfall, they are just TOO GOOD!

Try the CRONUT donut you won?t regret it. It is delicious. they give you extra donut holes when you buy donuts but I?m not a fan of them, they always taste stale & dry! They have so many different varieties that you can?t get at other donut places! I also like the Jamaican coffee. The customer service is awesome

Breakfast sandwiches were good and the donuts were awesome! They even made some Boston cream donuts knowing that my son wanted one. Great service!

Love this place & all their locations! Great staff and insanely good donuts. If you haven?t tried the cronut, you?re missing out! These doughnuts are far better than any competitor. I wish I loved closer to one.

Great place for donuts and breakfast food. Owner is super friendly and goes above and beyond to take care of customers.

I was tired of paying too much money for "meh" Dunkin coffee and donuts and stumbled upon this place on Apple maps. NO REGRETS. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, the prices are more than fair, and the donuts are delicious. I signed up for their rewards program... which is going to be a "good" problem for me lol. Definitely coming back!

Always excellent. Folks here are so nice.

Thank you for providing donuts for the students, staff and recuiters at McEachern High School. Our College Fair was a success and you guys helped to make that happen. Also special thanks to one of the Managers, Dannia who was very generous and made the process seamless!

Best Donuts around!!!! Jesus and his wife are an amazing team as owners of this shop. Donuts are always fresh. Staff is super nice and you get free donut holes with your order! How cool is that?! They just opened a new one closer to my house. I'll be a weekly patron for sure!

We have shopped here a few times and each order was delicious! They have a variety of flavors and donuts. We also appreciate their support to the community as they donate to the local hospital. We love eating here more than the National Donut chains! We will continue to patronize your establishment.

Great donut shop on Austell Rd (near Pair Rd)! I love the donuts, coffee, and ham and cheese croissants, and especially the kollaches (pigs in the blanket). No frills. Just great food, polite and quick service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Hole in the wall place that has delicious donuts. We arrived near closing time and was still able to get some of the good donuts. Super nice folks running the place.

We were visiting from TX a few weeks ago and after reading the great reviews, decided to pick up some donuts. Apple and Pineapple Fritters had very little filling, and the glazed donuts left a lot to be desired. Clean store with friendly customer service, but taste was disappointing.

Egg and cheese on jalapeno bagel. However, the other customer said game egg and cheese on croissant. We both agreed the apple fritters are a go to for something sweet. I got one. He got 3. Hopefully he's sharing. The food is fresh. The pastries are fresh. And the customer service is great. I don't get here often but I get the same thing pretty much every time.

Donuts were very tasty but a bit pricey. $8.26 for 4 donuts. Can't afford to stop there often

Donuts were good, pretty regular, but good. Excellent service and clean facility. Disappointed that they didn't have the peaches and cream donut I drove all that way to try, but they did take the time to make me some raspberry and apple filled donuts for me to make up for it. I definitely recommend and will return again.

Wonderful friendly staff and delicious doughnuts! A must try!

Drove over 30 minutes to get here so we don't come often. We love the croissant sandwiches & every donut in the case!

Some of the best donuts I've had to date. My family absolutely loves them and prefer them over the larger donut competitor's! The best part is, they give you the holes from the donuts!! Does any place else even do that?? The service was exceptional! Will be visiting again!

I absolutely love this place. The Jamaican me crazy coffee is the bomb. The doughnuts are not too sweet and soft just right. Eric took our order and his personality is gravitating and pleasant. What a wonderful person to take your order.

How did I go so long without finding this place? Excellent service and classic doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches. The food is yummy and satisfying- nothing fancy but it'll do the trick. Upon entering we were immediately greeted with kindness and the employees were all helpful! Really recommend this place for a nice simple breakfast. Only reason it doesn't get five stars is because the atmosphere is a little bland, but if feels like an american Cafe.

Amazing Customer Service.Fresh Gourmet Donuts.A wide variety to choose from. Reasonably priced. Try the Blueberry Fritters.They and all the donuts are so Good it's hard to pick a Favorite. Love this Austell Location.I will keep coming back.

This was my first visit but it won't be my last. The Churro donut may be the BEST donut I've ever tasted in my life. Ohhh go here NOW!! I also had the Kona Iced Coffee Horchata which was also so good. Red velvet donut, maple bacon. Thank God this place isn't that close or I'd be there everyday! Enjoy

Edit after 5 years -- From 5 stars to 3 stars. What happened?! I'm feel like I'm being generous with 3. No variety, mostly regular glazed. Sold out which I guess is normal late morning on a Saturday BUT my BIG disappointment....they don't make the Blueberry Fritter anymore!!!=-( For me it's no longer worth the drive without the Blueberry Fritter. Not sure what happened but I won't be going as frequently anymore. Donuts they did have just weren't as good either. We normally clear out that box in record tim

Embarrassed it took me six years of living close to learn of this place, but it took only six days to make a return visit! The donuts are FRESH, the breakfast sandwiches hot and delicious and the service is phenomenal. A must- visit for any loca!

I love this place it is a true gem. The donuts are fresh dates throughout the day the owners and staff are so friendly. Always up for a chat with the regular customers and always up to get to know someone new. Taking a bite out of one of their Boston creams is a true bite of Heaven

Places like these are rare and should be treasured. We used to live right next to it a few years back. Every time we are visiting friends in the area we have to make the stop at Dough In The Box. Michelle is wonderful and great to chat with. This last visit, I'm glad to say their offerings have gotten better. thank you guys for being awesome!

Great service and my favorite doughnut shop! Great location too! PLUS I placed an order today (UberEats) for a friend having a birthday and asked for Happy Birthday on the box and they delivered! It made for a safe and special birthday during this time. Can?t wait to get more doughnuts!

Me and my family are starting to come once a week, not a bad thing, we make donuts fit our guilty pleasure cheat of the week! So thankful for the warm welcome everytime but most importantly how delicious their unique flavors are, has you craving them and coming back for more!

Came by for donuts, cronuts and kolaches as a treat for the staff at my doctor's office. The multitude of options did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed them and remarked how the donuts weren't "too sweet" like other chains.

So good! On a recent and first visit, I got a couple doughnuts and a coffee. Then I sat down and overheard an employee say that fresh apple fritters were coming out. Gimme!! So I order that too! It was so good!! I'll be back for sure! Plus the customer service was awesome!

Best donuts ever and I adore their cornbread breakfast sandwiches. Always a stop I make when I?m in the area during breakfast/lunch!

The staff here are so welcoming and friendly! They have no problem letting you know what they have and when is the best time to come. They even off for you to call ahead so that they may have your order prepared for you! Love this fresh doughnut spot!

Local and hidden gem, truly! This is my absolute favorite place to go to get breakfast on the weekends. It's relatively quick going in and out (even when they are busy), they make your food as you order it, and they have so many customization options!

This is our go to place for donuts. Both locations are great. Their filled donuts do not disappoint. Other places put a tiny bit of filling, not here. Their croissant donut (cronut) is my new favorite.

Fast & friendly service. I think that they have the (Best Fresh Homemade Donuts.) This place is definitely worth trying out, if you haven't already been here. I drove by here for years and didn't stop, boy was that a Big Mistake, Yummy! ??

I think I found my spot for blueberry cake donuts ?? ?? and that red velvet was delicious too. I've heard about the breakfast sandwiches but haven't tried, YET!

Good doughnuts - Dunkin style doughnuts at an okay price. The current price at the Austell Rd location is about $13.95 per dozen. Don't trust the prices in the pictures.

Best donuts around! They have been around for years. A must try. Their cronuts are so yummy and moist. Was pleasantly surprised they were on UberEats which I was excited about cause we live all the way in Hiram. Very fresh and everything was delicious.

Love the cronuts! They're the best! The closest to a Krispy Kreme donut I've ever had. My son said they're actually better. Service is always great too! If you haven't been there, I recommend you give them a try at least once. You will not be disappointed!

OMG! Doughnuts are so good. But the apple and my favorite blueberry fritters are the best! And you better get there early after they open or the fritters are gone! And the people that own and work there are so very sweet and friend folks.

The donuts taste amazing! I just went there and the lady that helped me was very friendly!!! They taste way more better than dunkin and Krispy Kreme. If you want quality donuts at a great price you should come to dough in the box.

Pfotzer Properties LLC just opened our office on 3137 Austell Rd so today I treated our staff to their donuts... When I say they were the best donuts I ever had THEY ARE THE BEST WE EVER HAD! We all loved them and for sure will be back for more!

Ordered from Uber Eats and everything was great. The sweetest thing, they included a little note thanking me for ordering. Classy and familiar touch that we just don?t see anymore. The ?Jamaica me Crazy coffee? was really tasty. The Cronuts are awesome. Nothing bad to say about the place. Never been to the physical location and probably will never actually go because of where it is in relation to the areas I frequent but that?s a non-factor as long as I can get access to the food lol.

This is where to come and get some of the best donuts around. They always have some of the best tasting sour cream donuts and apple fritters. I have also tried their Croissant breakfast sandwich and was very happy with it. You will not be disappointed coming here!

This little unassuming shop has some of the best doughnuts around. They typically have some special flavors and holiday touches. The staff is always super friendly and if you catch them at the right time, they will throw a few doughnut holes in that melt in your mouth. This place will definitely get you in trouble with your diet.....but go anyway.

The cannoli cream donut is my everything. Apple fritters are top notch. There?s a breakfast sandwich called a T-Rex that is the stuff of dreams. Staff could not be more friendly.

My boyfriend and I go here once a week! We love their donuts and Josh loves their Bacon, egg and cheese croissants. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for something cheap, fresh and homemade.

Ok I know donuts are not good for you, BUUUUTTT if your going to indulge then you HAVE to go to Dough in The Box. They are fresh, the employees are ALWAYS very friendly. They have a great selection. Go early as they do get very busy :)

Donuts were delicious! Staff was friendly and helpful. Got there late on a Sat and they was pretty much sold out. Suggested I place order a day in advance. Will be back!

Ever since my mom introduced me to this place i have loved it. Not only are the pastries delicious but the workers keep every meeting personable. I have grown accustomed to how things are there and whenever i get those cravings we all get this place is the best to come to.

These donuts are INSANE. I've had a few good donuts since moving to Georgia, but these are Tops. Yesterday was my first time buying them - my boyfriend and I are on our way back again today. Dunkin Donuts needs to hang it up!

OMG! Marietta's best kept secret! I have drove past this place over 100 times without stopping in. My wife saw a post on Facebook and said we had to go. We arrived near closing and didn't have much of a selection but what we found was great. At 15 minutes till closing the donuts were still very soft and tasted fresh. Since then we have been back about 5 times for the family breakfast (sandwiches and donuts). Very reasonable prices and you can't beat the free donuts holes with every order. Will be back agai
