Hole Doughnuts

Really enjoyed delicious donuts, handmade directly in front of us, particularly the vanilla bean, the powdered sugar and the cinnamon sugar, did not prefer the sesame toasted almond. Highly recommend, five out of five!

These might be the single most perfect donut you have ever put in your mouth. They are crisp and light with perfectly sweet glaze. I dream about them. My mouth waters when I think about them. They are worth a flight to Asheville alone. In an old little shack with limited seating you need to eat them fresh. Don?t wait.

Fresh made from scratch right in front of you doughnuts. A half dozen and a dozen both come with one extra. Eating them fresh is best since they?re right out of the fryer. Parking can be a little challenging and it can get busy inside. Kind of small inside but seating is available.

you know the food is gonna be good when the menu looks super simple. These were incredible, prob some of the best donuts we're ever had tbh And we even got 2 extra ones dropped at our table, freshly made. They're all made in front of you by the kindest people, the vibes were immaculate! definitely a must if you're in town!

Donuts made right in front of you. Better ingredients. What's not to love! If you're going to treat yourself to a donut, this is the place to do it. Much better than a chain or buying the stake box at the store. From what I gather, they have 3 permanent flavors - vanilla icing, cinnamon, and Sesame seeds - and then a flavor of the day. We tried 2 flavors at the shop, then ordered all 3 permanent flavors to take home. Highly recommend this jewel!

Can?t say enough about this gem. What makes it amazing is that it?s everything a corporate doughnut shop is NOT. Hand made and high quality ingredients combined in what appears to be an old shed to create fried dough greatness. Oh and they do a bakers HALF dozen because everyone needs an extra doughnut. Favorite was the sesame seed but the plain glazed will not disappoint.

If you have not been to Hole Doughnuts, stop what you?re doing and place an online order now! Absolutely unique & delicious. I do not even like donuts but these are outstanding! Small space but pick up is extremely organized. You won?t be sorry! Save yourself from a parking nightmare & park across the street for a quick pick-up.

I just had Hole and the reviews do not lie! These ?? are freshly delicious and oh so good! I don't think getting two was enough. Their staff are very friendly and nice people. By all means, run to them!

Not only are these the best donuts you?ll ever have, these are the kindest people you will ever meet. I?ve been here many times and they never disappoint with genuine kindness and incredible donuts. I could eat ten vanilla glazed. The cinnamon sugar are also amazing, but every seasonal flavor and every donut I?ve eaten here has been next level and delicious. Masters of their craft and such a joyful place, you won?t be disappointed!

Holy crap!! These are definitely some of the best donuts I have ever had. The dough consistency is light, but chewy. Every single flavor we had was incredible. The staff was great too and also made me some decaf coffee upon request. They have 4 donut flavors, but that is all you need. Even the vanilla glazed was simple yet super tasty. I hope we get to go back one more time before we leave!

Made to order, hot and fresh out of the oil! These people know how to make a doughnut! 2 day ferment on the dough for extra flavor:) It's nice to watch them tend to the little floating circles of goodness The chefs table is where it's at! Drool over them while they are made right in front of you

My brother-in-law picked some up and shared them with the family, so I didn?t actually visit the shop myself. I almost never write reviews?especially not for something I didn?t buy?but these doughnuts were absolutely exceptional. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and not too sweet. Easily the best doughnuts I?ve ever had. I?m already looking forward to visiting Asheville again so I can stop by in person.

Hands down the best doughnuts I?ve ever had! Plus they make them fresh! I don?t think there?s anything better than a fresh, crispy, and chewy doughnut ?? We may have to plan another trip just for the doughnuts!

I recently visited this charming donut shop, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The donuts are incredible?crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly coated with flavors that range from classic cinnamon sugar to a delightful sesame glaze. Every bite tastes fresh and homemade. The atmosphere is equally inviting. The rustic interior, with its wooden accents and vintage decor, creates a warm, welcoming vibe. I especially loved the open kitchen setup, where you can see the donuts being

This place is exceptional. Probably the best donuts I?ve ever had. Staff is very friendly and cool to see them making the donuts. Seriously, you will regret not coming here

Best donuts I have tasted. My friend and I got 2 of each flavor and they were all delicious.

Incredible doughnuts. We must have arrived at exactly the right time because as we left there was a line out the door. But don?t let that deter you ? service was extremely fast. It was maybe 2 minutes after we placed our order at the register that our order was ready. And she said they were understaffed that day! Didn?t seem to affect the level of service we received. Even if you had to wait, they do all their work out in the open which is very interesting to watch. Don?t skip this one. My girlfriend who is

Don?t miss out on a visit to Hole. Amazing donuts cooked fresh in 5-7 mins as you wait and watch the magic. Crispier outside than your traditional donuts but incredible flavor.

Hole Doughnuts, located in Asheville, North Carolina, has garnered significant acclaim for its commitment to crafting fresh, made-to-order doughnuts. Established in 2014, this artisanal doughnut shop has become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors seeking a unique and high-quality doughnut experience. **Ambiance and Atmosphere** Situated at 168 Haywood Road, Hole Doughnuts exudes a charming and rustic ambiance. The shop features a vintage baby blue truck parked outside, serving as both a mas

10/10. Fresh, chewy, salty, sweet. Chef?s kiss. Both their sesame cinnamon and vanilla glaze are winners.

Quite possibly the best doughnuts I've ever had (100% the best in Asheville). We went here today for the first time and had the glazed, sesame and cinnamon/sugar and all were good.

What an awesome experience!!! Each order is freshly made before your eyes with high quality ingredients by super friendly staff in a cozy atmosphere. I'm not really a fan of donuts, but wanted to bring something yummy for the office on a Monday morning.. These donuts were so delicate and uniquely flavored that I ended up eating more than everyone else! They even threw in an extra so I could try all the flavors. Highly recommend!!

We got a box of donuts, handed one to each of the teenagers in the car, here are the direct quotes: ?Whoah.? ?Oh my gosh.? ?That was actually immaculate.? ?Ooh, sweet and savory at the same time.? ?When it?s hot like this it tastes like heaven.? ?Oh my gosh.? (a second time) ?Perfection.?

The donuts are amazing!!! It was highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. Great customer service. Great flavor. Donuts made fresh in front of you. Couldn't recommend enough!

Warm, crunchy, chewy. Delicious. Not a big donut fan, but these are not dense. They?re fluffy and fried to order. Not overly sweet either. The sesame one actually has a little saltiness to it. Definitely recommend!

I normally post pics of the doughnuts but they didn?t last long enough! Cinnamon Sugar and Matcha today - so freaking good! The atmosphere is like no other! The service was outstanding! Laurie went above and beyond to make us feel like regulars even though it was only our first time in! Can?t wait to come back!

First, love the welcoming staff. We felt as if we were in their home. Such a friendly and sincere way of doing business. Second, the donuts are AMAZING. The glazed is where it?s at. Toasted almond sesame is a close second, but I?m a purist when it comes to the dough, texture, and glaze. Seriously delicious. You must dine in and watch the process of making the dough- very cool. Cool rustic vibe and sweet people who are passionate about their work.

What a delicious and memorable experience. From the heavenly smells when we turned on to Haywood Rd, the long line outside, no parking, and the actual no frills yet rustic aesthetic we knew it was going to be good. Although there was a line the staff are super fast and it was a super quick wait. Everyone on the crew seemed to be sincerely enjoying their work and the vibe was wonderful. The lady who rug up the order was super sincere and a hype woman for sure. They had 4 options for flavors? we got them al

Best donuts everrr, so light, amazing glaze, heavenly when hot Great, friendly staff - thank you!! Edit: I have been coming here for years now and have never found a better donut place in the entire country. Every time I've come it's always perfect. Every single donut is made perfectly and with love. I can taste the love in these donuts!!! The donut recipe is supreme and the glaze is addicting. I love the atmosphere and the staff here!

AMAZING! These are the best donuts I?ve ever had. You must try them fresh because the donuts just melt in your mouth. Perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness.

They have different donut flavors of the day which makes coming here for a treat very exciting. I tried the espresso donut and it was the most delicious donut I?ve ever tried. If you are having a cheat day, make it be at Hole Doughnuts! Very nice people working there as well!

Y'all know the drill, get here ASAP! Oh boy are these good donuts. The BEST I've ever had. Wonderful atmosphere and shop. So lovely to sit outside and enjoy some fresh, I mean FRESH, donuts and coffee. Made to order! It truly doesn't get better. How can you not be put in an excellent mood after visiting Hole in Asheville?! We love you all.

Hole Doughnuts is a must-visit for any donut enthusiast visiting Asheville. Their donuts are made fresh to order and are known for their crispy exterior and fluffy interior. They also have a variety of classic and seasonal flavors to choose from. Today was my first visit. Love at first taste!!!

The staff made the experience incredible. We felt so welcome and cared for which might sound odd to say but it's true! We visited a lot of places over the weekend and this was our favorite. The doughnuts are made to order and you can watch them cook! It was like eating something from home by someone who makes it with the love they have for you. Will definitely be back! Thank you for great food and a great experience! Our kids loved the ones we brought home for them! Thanks for the recommendations!

Really nice doughnuts and really friendly people working at the store. Everyone there was so kind and friendly. We really had a good time! Please do visit and check it out! The doughnuts do sell out fairly quickly so make sure you get there early!

By far the best donuts I?ve ever had. Quality ingredients, simple donuts, and made to order. I love how they focus on only a few varieties instead of offering 50 flavors with all kinds of food coloring/artificial flavors. AND they are not super sweet. Perfection and I recommend to anyone in the area or even to travel to Asheville just to try these amazing donuts!

You truly can't get fresher donuts than these! Made right in front of you and comes out hot and fresh and so delicious. There was a decent line when we came but it moved quickly. You can also order ahead to avoid standing in line. We got the vanilla glazed and cinnamon sugar donuts. Both were so delicious and probably the freshest donut I've had. It was so fun to be able to watch the employees making them too.

The hype for this place is warranted. I read that it was rated #2 in the country for the best donuts, but I honestly don't know how it's not #1. The donuts: Freshly made right in front of you. They have 4 flavor options (1 of which changes every week), and they do them exceptionally well. Absolutely delicious, just melts in your mouth. The staff: Wonderful, wonderful people. You can watch the full process of them making the donuts, which was fun. From the flour and dough to the frying and the toppings. Th

Hole Doughnuts is a go-to stop every time we?re in town. We always pick up a box of six, and they never let us down. I especially love the rotating flavors ? there?s always something new and exciting to try!

Traveled to Asheville from Michigan, and heard great reviews on Hole. Y'all, this place was incredible. Exemplary customer service and the tastiest doughnuts. Every flavor was incredible. This is a must try, and make sure to eat them hot out of the fryer.

Glazed and Earl Gray are delicious... Truth is all 4 flavors are phenomenal. Service was extremely friendly, arts n crafts available for the kids while you wait. Doughnuts are made fresh right in front of you. Arrive early to avoid a line out the door :) Parking can be tight as well.

The freshest donuts!!! Seeing them being prepared right in front of you and the you immediately get them while it?s still warm ??. Every flavor was delicious but surprisingly my favorite was the toasted sesame almond. Even my kids enjoyed all of them. We got there when they opened at 8a and within less than a minute, there was a line. Great first stop in Asheville.

The best donuts! So fresh and warm. Not a great place for coffee, or for hanging out since it's small and kinda noisy, but the donuts cannot be beat. I've had a couple of their rotating flavors like sumac or blueberry cream cheese, and they're just as good as the regular flavors.

best donut i have ever had and MADE FRESH TO ORDER? bro?. amazing?.

I don't usually write gushing reviews of places that emphatically implore the reader to drop everything and head to the business and prepare to fall in love at first bite. This will be my first. Go to Hole. Get some doughnuts. Make sure to try the amazing glazed and the superb sugar coated ones and prepare for extacy to overtake you. Prepare to revisit this place every chance you can. I'm not the biggest fan of doughnuts. I never knew how amazing a doughnut could be. My life was changed one morning, and I

I?m still dreaming about having Hole Doughnuts every morning. My husband said these are the best donuts he?s ever had! Donuts are made to order and come out warm, airy and delicious. Only a few flavors to choose from, which helps folks with decision fatigue. Definitely recommend visiting Hole! Not your average. Since this place is busy, seating might be a little tough if you?re dining in.

I?m not even much of a donut person, but this spot is a cannot miss. The best donut I have ever had in my life. So soft and fluffy, amazing flavors. And the staff is friendly! Also, shout out Caitlin Clark :D

Life changing. My boyfriend and come here whenever we come visit friends and family in Asheville. We got a bunch for his mom?s memorial and it made everyone so happy. Just delicious and fresh and brings a smile to your face.

Most importantly- order ahead!! These are some of the most delectable doughnuts available anywhere. Preparation is top notch. Hole is a quality and service focused restaurant. Their doughnuts are well-made with good ingredients. As far as atmosphere - Their old food truck is outside., that is cool. Inside seating is basic and busy - it is fine but their popularity makes it a place I wouldn?t hang out in. If weather is nice - the outside is pleasant.

This is a well loved doughnut shop. The line goes out the door. We got a baker?s half dozen (7) of vanilla glazed and cinnamon sugar. Both were very delicious and I want to come back sometime.

Cool spot. Felt very welcomed upon entering and the made to order donuts are pretty good. Not from here, but I found parking to be a serious pain point. But I found a space and it's all good. Would visit again if in the area.

Their doughnuts are very good; not showy, but solidly good. The prices are fair and the space itself is unique in that you get to watch the doughnuts being made. However, my personal opinion is that it has a bit of a novelty factor that makes it a great place to visit every once in a while (especially when visiting the area on vacation!), but not regularly.

We went here twice during a recent visit to Asheville. The cashier recognized us in the second visit and she was incredibly friendly both visits. The menu was selective, which focused more on quality over quantity. We tried vanilla glaze and sesame and both were fantastic. Parking is a little tricky when it?s busy, but 100% worth the effort. Highly recommend.

The only shop that is undeniably better than Krispy Kreme, and arguably the best doughnut I've ever had. Phenomenal yeast raised doughnuts fried fresh in front of you. As good as I remember after many years.

I find it completely unfathomable that anyone would leave less than a 5 star rating for this establishment. My fiancee and I came on the advice of a friend who had visited from out of state. This place is phenomenal. The service was fantastic, food is beyond exceptional, and the atmosphere is awesome. We ordered a baker's half dozen and ate all 7 immediately. The only "complaint " I have is that they didn't have my size t-shirt available...but I'll be back next week and try again!

?It is messed up how good those donuts are? - my husband Parking can be tricky because of the small lot and sometimes there?s a line, but all this is worth it for the most lovely, hot and perfectly crispy fried-to-order donuts you?ll ever put in your mouth. We ordered one of each the first day we went, intending to save two for later but after the first bite there was no chance of that. Laurie, cashier both times, made our experience even more memorable with her sweet welcome and enthusiastic hospitalit

Stopped in for a donut on our way into town. Fantastic! I had cinnamon sugar, and hubby had glazed. Both were delicious and made to order. Very unique and worth the stop.

A M A Z I N G . Seriously best donuts I?ve had. Buttery and the perfect salty/sweet combo. Vanilla glaze was my favorite but you can?t go wrong with any of the flavors. Absolutely delicious. And such nice employees! We had a bit of a wait but it was fun to watch them make the donuts and 100% worth the wait. Wish they had a location in Charlotte!

Loved the place got recommended from a TikTok and came to check it out and did not disappoint at all. The cashier had the most wonderful and helpful attitude I?ve ever seen and just the whole place and everything was amazing and couldn?t ask for better.

Fresh, made to order donuts. Only 4 choices on the menu, but they execute them flawlessly. Coffee is roasted by a local roaster to compliment the donuts and it works! Truly a fantastic experience!

Now this is a gem for the travel foodies. Add this cute little shop to your list when you visit ??Asheville? or just make a special trip lol . I?ve had some good donuts/doughnuts in my day ? but this one quickly moved to the top spot ?? Make sure you try whatever the special one is for the day!! I can?t forget the amazing, kind, dancing manager running the show. You go, Girl????. Thanks for making a couple of tourists, feel like local family! We will be back?

Hole Doughnuts is a must visit for anyone who enjoys sweets and comes within 50 miles AVL. They typically have 4 options, of which cinnamon sugar and vanilla glazed are the regulars, and all of them are absolute bangers. My wife and I don't typically gorge ourselves on any food, but we will kill a dozen of these in a heartbeat. The parking lot is small and the line can get long, but it moves at a good pace and there is parking in the area plus a sidewalk to get there easily enough and it is well worth the w

Before coming here I was thinking how good can a donut place get. But these turned out to be the best donuts I have ever had by a mile! Best to come in early to get some parking. Everything donut is made to order and this is a must visit place in Asheville

Nothing short of spectacular! The shop had a lot of character, the staff was vibrant and the donuts were arguably the best I?ve ever had. The donuts are made to order, so they?re hot with a crisp, flaky exterior and soft and fluffy interior. Go out of your way to pick up a baker?s dozen.

Best doughnuts ever! I always get some when I'm in Asheville. Not much parking.

The 4.9 rating is 100% accurate. Some of the best donuts I?ve ever had. Recommend placing your order 10 minutes or so before arriving if coming on the weekends. Don?t skimp and try every type of donut they have. Made hot and fresh for every order.

Our first time visiting, but definitely won?t be the last! They have a really unique, light, and airy dough that?s SO GOOD. Next time I?ll order ahead, but it was really cool to watch the donut-making process once from start to finish.

These donuts are made to order. But literally - you order and then they make them in front of you. They have a limited menu, but honestly this is brilliant. We got the bakers half (7 donuts), 2 of every flavor except for the basil (which we got one of). The almond sesame seed is savory and sweet and honestly way more delicious than we expected. The cinnamon sugar isn't too cinnamon-y. Amazing. The vanilla glazed is classic. The basil wasn't my fav, but I am not super fond of basil. These were the freshest d

Always super friendly. I?ve lived here 22 years and their doughnuts are my favorite treat in Asheville!! Thank you Hole for repping Asheville so well.

This place has delicious donuts! We got the Baker's 1/2 Dozen which gets you 7 Donuts. We tried all 4 flavors and they were all awesome. My favorite was the toasted almond. Make sure to sign up for their rewards while your there to start earning free donuts.

best donut i?ve ever had- the texture and composition is so light and airy. husband thought the toasted almond sesame flavor was out of this world. came on national donut day right after their second place ranking and we had the best experience thanks to lori and the amazing donuts! if you?re near asheville, it?s a must stop!

The lightest and freshest donuts I've ever had. The donuts are made to order and are served piping hot (think zeppoles from a carnival hot). The outside was crisp, but the inside was fluffy and full of air pockets. I recommend eating them immediately! Restaurant only serves 4 flavors daily with one being a special. The chocolate milk came out cold and refreshing inside a to go cup. It pairs really well with the donuts. Currently, you are expected to place your order online and pickup in their parking lot.

Absolutely phenomenal. Well worth a stop and an absolute must if you are visiting Asheville. Perfect texture. Perfect flavor. Perfect amount of sweetness. These donuts are simply devine and I?ll dream about them until my next trip to Asheville.

The best donuts I have ever eaten. So delicious, fresh, friendly staff, good coffee and orange juice. The cinnamon sugar was great with sweet and savory, the day I came they had a paloma flavor and my goodness it was amazing. Second visit during our trip to Asheville (yes we came twice) the beignet was the special and it was really good too, but all of them were great.. toasted almond wasn't my favorite but I'm glad I tried it.

First of all: Incredible donuts! These donuts were fresh, light and so delicious. We tried three flavors: sesame almond, mint julep, and cinnamon sugar. Each one was excellent and I was surprised how much I loved the two more unusual flavors. The woman at the front who greeted me and took my order was exceptionally kind and friendly. All around a lovely experience.

Recommended in a tour magazine, it lived up to the article. Donuts were made fresh to order while you watched. They were fresh, hot and delicious. I wasn't sure what I thought of curry & sugar and it turned out to be my favorite. The staff was friendly and new all the locals. Highly recommended.

So fluffy and warm and fresh! I'm obsessed with the sesame almond. Perfect texture, flavor, and not too sweet but still sweet enough. They also gave many visitors a thank-you for coming on a rainy, yucky day. So please support them even in bad weather!

Absolutely the best donuts I've ever eaten. It is truly amazing to watch the staff preparing your order (made fresh while you watch). All the staff are friendly and helpful.

You need to get a dozen or 1/2 dozen! Fresh, tasty, and delicious donuts. I love the dough, it?s got just a little of salt which makes these not feel too savory. We got all 4 flavors during our visit, and it was very hard to not eat the whole box! The staff were also friendly and energetic!

Great fun place with fantastic donuts and my favorite coffee!

OH WOW. We went at 12:00 pm on a Saturday, July 3, 2021. There were people waiting, but it didn?t take long once we placed our order. We ordered online and it was ready in like 10 minutes. A baker?s half dozen (7 donuts) is $15 and a baker?s dozen (13 donuts) is $30, so the baker?s half dozen is a better deal. They have 4 flavors: Vanilla Glaze, Cinnamon Sugar, Toasted Almond Sesame Cinnamon, and Maple Bourbon Glaze. I believe the last one rotates, but the first three are always on the menu. The donuts are

Doughnuts made to order were the best! I wish there were similar near me. My favorite was the almond sesame. Worth finding to experience these doughnuts.

Amazing customer service! I didn?t eat any donuts since I?m vegan but got a cup of coffee but was very impressed with the kind customer service- it also smelled amazing in there????

Twice a month, I buy donuts for clients all over the country. These are the best donuts I?ve ever had.

Seriously incredible. Wildly good donuts. The staff is hilarious and so accommodating! They only have a few flavors per day but they are prepping and making them to order so every flavor comes out hot. One of my favorite parts about Asheville!

Fluffy, warm, sweet. The thinner bits get nice and crispy and maybe my favorite part. Everyone was very nice, got my doughnut pretty quickly on a Saturday morning.

Adorable little donut shop with absolutely amazing donuts. Every chew revealed another layer of flavor. Our favorite ended up being the toasted sesame flavor but every flavor we had was amazing!!! I wish they had had some kind if coffee syrup or flavoring, the coffee was very simple. Highly recommend stopping here!!!

Might be the best donuts I have ever eaten. Simply incredible- and great after taste. Outstanding!! Wish I didn?t live so far away. Had a delicious cup of hot green jasmine tea, too. Love the atmosphere and very friendly staff.
