Highlights include the maple bacon, Boston cream, blueberry cream, and apple fritters, with many noting the light, fluffy texture and perfect glaze. The Vietnamese iced coffee and breakfast items like croissants also receive high marks. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive, though some mention limited seating or early sell-outs.

Customer Reviews

Omg in town on vacation and what a great find. This place has amazing donuts. ??

Seating is very limited. We were there at about 11 and the choices were limited. However, the donuts were incredible! We will come back again when we can get there earlier when there is more selection.

Every time I go there I?m amazed at how delicious the donuts are, every donut they have is so amazing, I wish they sold more and were open longer ??

I cant even describe how amazing these donuts are. A customer brought us a box and I had to hide them from myself. Sooooo good Gave their breakfast sandwiches and coffee a try. Just as good as the donuts. Love their egg croissant

They do an amazing job.I think they make the best donuts I've ever had.They are made FRESH Daily. The gentleman remembers I don't do cheese on my breakfast crosont, that is totally delicious by the way.

Little disappointed because of high expectations, the glazed donuts were ok, never had Kolaches for first because of all the rave not fan,but I am from Blount County and Richy Kreme donuts are much better. And the lady behind the counter acted as if we were an inconvenience to her.

Best hafe dozen donuts I?ve ever had! Blueberry cream was very good. Highly recommend.

Honestly THE BEST DONUTS I?VE EVER HAD! I absolutely love these donuts, they are fluffy and airy and so so good. I went in this morning to get a dozen and she put 4 extra donut holes in the box, I had no idea till I came home and opened them up! So nice of her and so appreciated! I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else for donuts, these are just top notch!

The donuts are fresh and the staff are fine. They often sale out and close by noon, so keep that in mind . Good variety, They have a couple tables if you want to eat there but clearly it's more for take out

Best donuts in our area and very fresh. They are very light and fluffy with that hint of crisp and a perfect glaze. They often sell out by afternoon. They fill the filled donuts when you order them which is great, so they don?t get soggy. Our favorite is the yellow pudding filled. The white cream filling is more like a frosting. If you say ?cream filled? then they don?t know which color so say yellow or white. Personally I would call the white one frosting, not cream. Enjoy!

Best doughnuts I have had in years. My first job was at a doughnut shop and these take me back every time...all the way down to the big yellow trays. You can tell that they DO NOT keep them from one day to the next because they literally melt in your mouth. I love that this is a family working together. Please make sure you drop a little extra in the tip jar and encourage them to keep going.

Delicious fresh donuts, donut holes, kolaches and drinks! Great pastries.

Food is delicious and love the iced coffee. Best donuts in town!

Hot kolaches and the best Cinnamon Sugar twists

I?m not exaggerating when I say these are the best donuts I?ve ever had! I try donuts frequently in other cities, and these are top notch! We tried the blueberry cake, glazed, Boston Cream, old fashioned?I cannot pick a favorite! So good!!! Go early!!!

We live a couple hours away and travel for work, so every opportunity we have we stop at Emily Donuts. We no longer stop at donut chains they do not begin to compare to the quality and taste of Emily Donuts. The donuts here do not leave you with the heavy/yucky feeling you get from other donut places and the filling and icing are in generous amounts and super delicious. Absolutely the very best tasting donuts I have ever had.

Some people of the freshest donuts I have ever had. We had the maple bacon and Boston cream. They were both amazing. Friendly service and donuts are definitely worth a try! We will definitely be returning!

Found a cute Asian-owned donut shop in Crossville! Go early (and probably not on Mother's Day) for more variety. I only got donuts and a smoothie but they have a pretty extensive breakfast menu that I plan to go back and try. The strawberry smoothie was delicious and donuts light and fluffy.

The very best donuts around. She puts the cream in to order, the donuts are made fresh and go fast. So so yummy.

Finally, an excellent place for fabulous donuts that melt in your mouth, and the staff always makes you feel welcome and gives prompt service. In addition, they have a great menu of breakfast and lunch items that are available.

Emily's donuts are soooo delicious. Truly light, airy and flavorful. I may have found our only donut shop. Very friendly staff as well. I would have posted pictures of the donuts but they didn't last long enough.

Donuts, breakfast, and coffee are all amazing! I am never disappointed when I buy here. Haven't stopped at dunkin since I found this place. It's locally owned, very nice owners and recommend it to anyone traveling through!

Today was our first time at Emily Donuts. Excellent service very clean. Homemade taste! We had the Bacon egg cheese croissants! Beats out others we have had! Its our new go to for breakfast and donuts!

Emily donuts are the very best! Once you try them, you'll never get donuts anywhere else. There is no comparison, they are amazingly delicious! The establishment only lacks a "Beware: Addictive" warning sign on the door!

Amazing doughnuts. The croissants are wonderful and made when you order them.

Emily's donuts are hands down the very best donuts I've ever had! They put Dunkin Donuts to shame. Always fresh. Really nice owners too. There are no better in Crossville !

Was in the area- from out of town. Found them on Yelp w excellent reviews. Those reviewers weren?t wrong! Best donuts I?ve had in ages!

The donuts are to die for and the customer service is amazing the only thing I don?t like is how she only does one batch of stuff and when she?s sold out she?s sold out so you have to come early? other than that it?s fantastic

These are THE best donuts I've ever had ever! I encourage everyone to buy their donuts. Buy Local small business and support them. DELICIOUS ??

Well. I'm torn. Service is slow. Ham and cheese bagels are all bagel. Only one slice of ham... Sent my daughter in for 3 dozen first hour they are open. They didn't have enough made..... Donuts are good. But won't be back

Whoa Nelly...great selection, nice menu and the best pastries I have had in many years! This shop is a true gem, it rates 10 stars. I do not know where the baker trained but I am glad he is here.

I am a retired Ca. Highway patrolman. An accepted expert witness in the world of donuts! Never have I had a better donut! From coast to coast you can't find fresher, softer, more flavorful morsels than these.??????

The lady is very nice and their kolaches are unmatched. Do not go to bucees and get their frozen from a bag kolaches. They are not good and will never be good. I?m so glad I was able to find great kolaches

This place is awesome and delicious. Donuts taste so fresh. Loved their pig in blanket. If you haven't been go.

Second time picking up donuts, did not disappoint again! Great tasting and good selection. My go to donut shop!!

These donuts are as close to perfection as you can possibly get. A great assortment of flavors with quick service and better than reasonable prices.

Softest donuts I've ever had. Really good ?? coffee was a bit expensive and watered down but 5 stars for their donuts!

Donuts and prices were delicious. Most of the time the service is great but one morning it was lady there and she was straight rude made me rethink going there to be honest. There are other options.

When I lived in Los Angeles, I lived right above a donut shop. Emily Donuts takes me back there every time I indulge in the best donuts in Cumberland County.

Best donuts I've ever had, good breakfast sandwiches also. ???? Yummy.

Amazing donuts! So fresh and flavorful! Service is awesome! Go by and get some! You will be so glad you did!

Amazing donuts and pastries! They have a great selection and the freshness of everything is quite impressive. Don?t miss on this gem!

The woman running the counter was super sweet,??and these are freakin awesome donuts the cake ones are my favorite ??

Donuts were fresh and had many choices to choose from! Haven't had a bad one yet! Have recommended to friends!

Passing through from Florida took a chance and had the best donuts at a incredible price worth ever cent don't bother considering waffle house if this is open for breakfast.

Best donuts in Crossville, fresh, light & tasty

Beats the big box and chain donuts. They're made fresh- not frozen and thawed

Softest freshest donuts I have ever had ! Rivals Krispy Kreme! Only con is that they sell out early

I have searched for a good donut shop. Emily's is by far the best i have found. I especially liked the apple fritters.

She has the best donuts in Crossville, they're so light and fluffy, it's how donuts should be made.

That is an amazing donut. I have tried all in Crossville, this is by far the tastiest and bang for the buck donut in town. Soft, and wonderful flavor

Delicious donuts and yummy savory ham, egg, and cheese croissants. A treasure for Crossville. Open plenty early!

She has the best clnnamon rolls in town...one of my favorite treats...none others have come close!

Went there yesterday, waited and no one was there.the donuts looked absolutely perfect, would have loved to have tried them

Great service and great selection! Have loved everything we have tried here! We go as much as time allows with our work schedules!

My tongue was slapping my face over these donuts, best donuts i have ever thrown down my neck!

Doughnuts were okay, cashier was friendly but did not pay attention to what was being ordered.

Always delicious! Always friendly and helpful! And it smells so wonderful when you walk in the door!

Always speedy, always fresh and delicious, this has become a favorite place to grab breakfast, donuts, muffins, and croissants!

The donuts are fluffy and tasty. Prices are great.
