I can't believe someone else thought the chocolate donuts tasted like acetone. I though I was crazy for two years. Glad to know I'm not nuts. I hope it's not like this anymore, but they were really bad. The others are all fine and taste great, but those chocolate ones were suspect.
Wow! Went out of my way to get here before they ran out of apple fritters. Ended up getting 2 and 2 breakfast sandwiches. They earn their reputation. Apple fritters were REALLY good - crispy edge bits, soft inside - very flavorful. Breakfast sandwiches wer phenomenal! Brioche bun(?) was soft and full of flavor, bacon was crispy, eggs were fluffy and perfect. I'd say these are now my top favorite bfast sandwiches in the area. I'll be coming back again. WORTH IT!
Wow! The best donuts I've ever tasted! I'm sorry to say they didn't last very long and I had to fight to get the last one in my office!
Delicious breakfast sandwiches! The donuts and eclairs are wonderful! Fast and affordable!
Excellent breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Parking lot needs some work.
I love donuts at K May they always have a different variety of flavors, and the croissants are the best here
Both my husband and I loved your donuts, just like everybody else! I noticed a change several months ago, probably a year.. We?ve raved in person with you, and bragged to others about your donuts. I can only comment on the donuts I would always order; fritter, apple or pineapple.. it noticeably no longer has near the icing it used too.. and it?s more soft throughout with little crunch on the side. Your fritters stood out from the others because of the crunch and plenty of icing.. but no more. Your Maple bar
I get a variety dozen every time I go and all of them are great
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!! The doughnuts are delicious, soft and fresh, and the lady working there was SO charming and helpful! I will be stopping by when I am visiting home again later this month!! YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY!
This is hands down the best doughnuts around. Kk has nothing on these folks. Always glad to see you and fast service. BEST DOUGHNUTS PERIOD. Extremely clean store. Counter people are always friendly and always smiling. Stop in and pick up a dozen. You will be back again and again. Take a few dozen to work. You'll be the hit. Mark
THE BEST local donuts around, made fresh each morning by a super nice family (Support Local Small Businesses!) plus the best jalapeno pig-in-the-blankets!
The donuts used to be the best around for almost a decade but when the original owner left, the donuts went from very light and fluffy to nothing better than Dunkin Donuts. I stopped in today and the donut recipe has changed again and now are more cake like, which is sad. Even the donut holes that were light and fluffy are cake like. I might as get my donuts at Dunkin or off of a grocery store shelf for non-light and fluffy donuts. I would rather spend the 30 mins to drive to Krispy Kreme. My dog hesitated
They have the best donuts around and the employees are so kind! They are also relatively fair priced for their quality. One of the best little shops in the area!
We consider ourselves to be donut snobs? This place is a hidden gem! We stopped on our way to FL this year for vacation and had to make sure we stopped again on our way back home. The donuts are all amazing! We had glazed, chocolate iced glazed, blueberry, pumpkin and one that looked like a fritter. 4 dozen in all to be exact! They were all perfection. The price was awesome and the service was the best we had our whole trip! We will make this a permanent stop every year on our way to and from the be
They don't taste like I remember. The apple fritter is burnt and I guess fried in old oil? Couldn't eat the Boston cream, it taste like some sort of chemicals... The donut holes are ok though. The people are really nice
They are always so friendly and the donuts are the best.
Their chocolate donuts taste/smell like acetone. The health department went out to inspect and k mays excuse was that they dont know about the taste because they work there all the time and cant smell the problem like a customer would who doesnt work there all the time despite having several customers complain about the same problem so they knew very well about this issue and have continued to sell donuts that are toxic. I was told by health department that k mays said they were sorry however never offered
Love this little donut store! My favorite apple fritters and the only place I know to get pineapple fritters.
Just purchased 4 donuts and some kolaches. All of the chocolate iced donuts tasted horrible like nail polish remover. I also received a custard filled instead of creme filled. When I called to inform them of the bad tasting donuts they hung up on me . Very disappointed as they are usually my favorite place.
Got there a little later than usual. Still had a good selection of donuts left . Be forewarned the apple fritters sell out quickly! Friendly people and good prices. Love fresh donuts go see the folks at K May Donuts.
Decent tasting donuts and the jalape?o kolaches are always ??. The best thing though is their A+ service I always receive when entering & exiting the establishment. Theyre always so thankful for shopping at their establishment which you dont get at corporate locations like Krispe or Dunkin.
Super nice people & AWESOME donuts! Fresh! So fresh they feel like they're melting in your mouth! Amazing food and their food score was 97! Totally satisfied with our donuts & we will DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN & AGAIN! I wish they stayed open later though. :)
Had there donuts 2 years ago and still think about them! No joke! The lady behind the counter was so nice she gave he a whole donut just to try out a flavor. We are headed that way this summer for vacation and the first thing my wife asked was, can we stop at the donut place on the way down. Can't wait to have again. The cashier told me she makes that donuts by hand every morning starting 2 am and when they are out they are out!
The donuts are a little on the high side. Paid $5.00 for 2 donuts. I won't be going back because of the prices. The donuts are okay, there's a weird taste to them and I can't place it.
Do yourself a favor and get the sour cream donut. It has a beautiful crust but was still soft and cakey in the middle, topped with the perfect amount of glaze. I don?t live in Athens, I was just passing through but I would go out of my way for these donuts. The customer service was also great, so that was a nice bonus! The person at the counter was friendly even though I was there as they were cleaning up to close. (I didn?t realize they were only open until 1 and rolled up at 12:40 looking for some sweet
Lady was very rude and had sassy attitude...Didn't buy anything and wont be back...No need for attitude when I was just asking questions..Went Dunkin and customer service was GREAT!!
Their donuts are fabulous! Picked up 2 1/2 dozen variety donuts on my way to work this morning. My co-workers raved at how soft, fresh, and delicious they were. Definitely worth stopping. Plus the service was great!
Classic hole in the wall (see photo) but the donuts ARE tasty .I went at a non busy time Friday morning after 9am. So you have to decide, I would say try it at least once. The place just didn't look clean. Sorry, I used to be in pest control so I'm very particular. I ordered glazed, chocolate glazed, cake and Boston Creme. ALL were good. And I luvvv a good donut and have the stomach to prove it!?? Needs to be cleaned up and a simple remodel. Invest the money back into the store.
The ladies there are so kind! Exceptional donuts, got just about one of each. All just as good as the next. Looking forward to trying their other items too. Don't miss out on this LOCAL place!
Best donuts in town, hands down! They would do great in a better location.
I did not have a good experience with them. Be aware I went through this and their prices are a bit higher than Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. I ordered two chocolate eclairs, 3 chocolate cream filled and that other cream filed donuts. They were full of old tasting grease and the eclairs made me sick for 2 days. I think it must have been food poisoning. The eclairs were the only thing I ate because when I tasted that same old oil taste soaking them, I was not gonna chance getting sick again. I called them about
Simply adore these folks. Every Friday I come in for donuts and fritters for my senior living community and they are always ready for me (even when I forget to call ahead)!!
This place has the best donuts and service around. Always have such a large variety, too. Last time I was there to get donuts, I was headed out of town to help my friend's family move her things out of her apartment. It had been a long few weeks as she has been unresponsive in the hospital after an unexpected medical emergency. When I went to check out my dozen donuts, the woman working that day kept piling on free donuts she wanted me to try! And they were DEVOURED! I let everyone moving that day know...So
This Starbucks has been a disappointment to me. They are closed on weekdays in the middle of the day, and I cannot tell for any apparent reason. I also looked up the ingredients for their beverages, which is not specific just to this location, but they are terrible and most of the fruit beverages do not even have that fruit in them. I hope that Starbucks decides to make a big leap up for consistency and quality ingredients. Carageenan in ANYTHING is unacceptable for a beverage that expensive.
This is the spot for doughnuts in the Athens, AL area. The doughnuts are super airy and delicious. They have breakfast sandwiches and kolaches as well. If you go in there be prepared to want to buy one of everything. Three things that make this place so awesome. The couple that own and run it, the fantastically amazing food, and the price. Walked out this morning with a dozen if blueberry cake doughnuts, 2 bags of doughnut holes, 2 kolaches, and a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel for $23. If you are in the are
Best doughnuts around. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Go between noon and 1 p.m. and they'll send you homes with free extras as they clear inventory out for the day. I highly recommend.
Quality alone is levels above Krispy Kreme, not to mention they are significantly cheaper and will gladly fill donuts to order with whatever you desire.. K May is a beautiful example that small local businesses can not only compete with corporations but can even offer higher quality products at lower prices at times.
We ordered two cinnamon rolls. Not much cinnamon, which was mostly in the center of the roll. Very bready. Somewhat disappointed.
I was so excited to get to go and it was nasty I hate to say it but it really was the donuts was just cooked so I thought I hit the jackpot but it tasted like they were cook n burnt fish oil or something ????. But they were very nice people
First time patron. What a great experience my wife and I had. Thank you for being so pleasant and the doughnuts were were outstanding! Anytime I'm going through Athens, you can count on my business. Again, thank you!
Went on a Saturday around 11 and they did not have any donuts except for glazed. The staff was rude and did not seem to care. My son wanted K may donuts for his birthday and all I could get was glazed. I don?t know who runs this location but I will never go back.
Best donuts in Athens. The Apple Fritters are top of the line too. The owners and family are very friendly. I drove an hour to get donuts and 6 Apple Fritters this morning. Wife is happy.........
Every time, they are the best donuts I have ever put in my mouth. I often find an extra donut in the box, too! They are so nice, and it's not very expensive.
The donuts are delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful. I ordered 20 dozen donuts - they were ready when I arrived and they helped me load them. They never disappoint.
Nothing wrong just nothing special or different. Same recipe, same offerings, same prices as every other donut shop or bakery coinyer in a hroceru store. All the people oohing and ahhing over this place need to get out more.
I love Ms. K!!! Fresh, delicious, and homie!!! She's very personable and remembers all her customers. Great energy!!! You must go!!!
My favorite donut place. I like the taste as it is not a vanilla taste like some. The location and parking is not the best, but I like the donuts so it adds up to be worth it.
Forget that big chain shop down the road! If you want the best in the area stop here! Always fresh and great customer service. Stop in and give them a try, your tummy will be glad you did!
Great old- time, family- owned donut shop. People are great & donuts taste amazing! Just call before you go because they close in the early afternoon i think.
Best place for donuts! You are always welcomed with a warm smile and a good morning. A word of warning, get there early. They sell out quick!
Fresh donuts made in store daily. Get there early or they might sell out. Sour cream and blueberry cake are my favorites. Everything is delicious though.
The K May Donut was excellent The sausage/egg croissant was delicious. Great breakfast with two maple glazed donuts.
This place is fantastic. I haven't been back to Athens in 10 years and this place was the highlight. The custard filled donuts and apple fritters were awesome. I'm bringing some back to Tampa.
Great donuts and they were here before Dunkin Donuts. I always stop and get a couple dozen for the staff at mom's nursing home when I come visit. Charming owners man the counter.
Great place for donuts! Best in the world - literally. Highly recommend the product and the people. Priced about average - so you get a great deal for what you pay.
Definitely five stars I used to live in Athens and have not lived there for quite a few years and every time I'm in town I stop by and get a dozen donuts must try their spicy sausage roll
I love these donuts!!! The staff is nice and they do a great job of getting you in and out of the store. I buy their donuts on a regular basis.
This is my number 1 go to for good fresh donuts. I can't explain clear enough how awesome the selection and flavors are. This is worth the short drive to Athens.
Best donuts in Athens, AL. I have not found another donut shop since I moved here a year ago, so as of right now. Best donuts in Alabama
Best Doughnuts period ?.. Krispy who? No other place has anything on K Mays best I?ve ever had hands down !
The best donuts around!
Favorite donuts in the TN valley! Great variety, great flavor, and great prices. Favorties: any of their fritters and the blueberry cake.
I absolutely LOVE K May Donuts. There?s nothing better than their Donut Holes and they are so cheap and the staff at the Hwy 72 stores has the nicest staff!!
Maple glazed doughnuts with bacon sprinkled on top of it. It's pancakes with syrup and bacon ?? all in 1. Time to get rich, start making maple glazed bacon ?? sprinkled doughnuts ??. Thank you and hurry !!!
The absolute best place to get donuts in town. K-May donuts is a hallmark of Athens and has the best tasting donuts and the friendliest service.

Donuts were delicious! The spicy sausage rolls are also really good.

The best damn donuts in North Alabama. period!
Gotta there and they only had donut holes, but they were good. I guess you have to get there early morning for others, we were from outta town and saw them on google and stopped by
This is a little mom and pop donut shop that has great donuts and great prices. Owners are always smiling and thankful for your business.
The best Donuts around and very reasonable on there prices. Love the fast friendly service as well. Very friendly people.
Ra is always so so nice EVERY TIME I go there !!! He?s the best customer service for that place!!! He brings them coming in!! He should always be out front in my opinion !!
Absolutely love getting a sweet treat from here! I've never been disappointed.
The donuts here are the best! And kolanches too! Good work!!!
Great people! Great donuts. Their food is better and fresher than Dunkin Donuts in my opinion.
Amazing donuts as with every where else, prices went up though.. still worth it.
Been stopping here for years on the way home, now the kids are gone I still get a mixed dozen. Best maple donuts ever.
Absolutely wonderful donut shop. Some of the best I've had! Stop by and check them out!
Take breakfast to the co workers sometimes and it's always good. Staff is very nice. Kolaches are the BEST!
Best bakery I have been to in a long time and WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE! The cream cheese one was my favorite :)
The doughnuts and kolaches are good but if you do not arrive early enough in the day, selections can get very limited.
