Customer Reviews

Another Donut shop makes my list! This one is excellent as you can see from the pictures! ? Donuts, biscuits, kolaches... Yum is what their signature states, Yum is what they serve!

Donuts are fresh and taste amazing !! My new go to place for a sweet treat. A local hidden gem! I?m looking forward to trying the other breakfast sandwiches she has! Owner is super sweet. Her son builds the Legos and displays them :)

This is my family?s favorite donut shop! The flavor is so rich and unique! My favorite donut is the maple glaze! There donuts are always soft, fresh and tasty! The staff is friendly and the dining area stays clean!

Best donuts in town! Well just a bit outside of Huntsville, but worth the 15 minute drive! These donuts have substance to them! So much texture and flavor.

Best donuts we?ve had in a long time. Fresh, delicious and ver reasonably priced. Will definitely go back for more. Highly recommend.

I woke up this morning craving kolaches, and K-May did not disappoint! The customer service was friendly and helpful. I didn?t get a picture of the jalape?o kolaches we bought, since we couldn?t wait till we got home to try. Amazing, fluffy, and fresh! All the donuts were amazing as well. Pictured is a kolache, donut holes, sugar donuts, glazed donut, and cinnamon roll. We?ll be back!

The donuts were very tasty, The lady was very nice and helpful. We will be back. UPDATE...Back again, we have made it our stop by Every time donut shop. Super frsh donuts today, the twists were still warm! AMAZING!!!!!

My family and I love K-May Donuts! Their donuts are cheaper and taste better than their competitors. Customer service is always excellent and the sweet lady who works the counter always has a smile on her face. If you're in the area, you should absolutely check them out!

My grandsons were with me in the shop and it was only us. The person who waited on us seem to have an attitude as I allowed the children to make their choices. I told them in the shop I would not bring them back. She did say thank you several times as I paid for my purchase. I didn't eat anything that was purchased.

Friendly staff. We ordered a dozen assorted and asked the young lady to pick them for us as it was our first time. We were not disappointed. Every doughnut was delicious. Will definitely be going back.

Wonderful little family run place. We stopped by as we were passing through and we decided to get a snack. We were welcomed by a beautiful family that takes pride in their work. We got bonus donut holes and that was just great. 10/10 best donuts ?? Wasn?t able to take a photo of the box full of donuts fast enough ??

Their steak rolls are amazing and the donuts are great always get at least a dozen every time we go in. Great service and they are always so friendly when we come in.

?? really great experience! Great food Great service Great price point

The softest doughnuts I've ever had. Delicious and delightful. We bought a dozen and they added some doughnut holes on top and I don't think I could have been more excited.

Excellent service and doughnuts! I ordered a dozen doughnuts. The kind woman at the front counter helped me pick them out and even gave me some doughnut holes for free. The doughnuts were great and the service was awesome. Please support this small business that does kind things like this for random customers.

We love going here. Always super clean and friendly.

This is a fantastic little traditional, homey donut (doughnut?) shop. Everything is perfectly sweet and tasty. They also have fried egg roll philly cheese steak things for breakfast if that's more your speed.

Great lurks shop! I got a bunch of donuts , the pineapple fritter was my favorite! I also got a kolache (hot dog filled), and a steak roll which was a cabbage and meat filled egg roll similar to lumpia.

Beat donut shop I have been to in Alabama and the staff are INCREDIBLY nice

Omg these donuts are so delicious! A hidden gem I discovered 9/29/24! Sophia is very customer friendly the service the donuts better than Krispy Kreme in my opinion! Kay Donuts you got a friend in me ?? 10/10 because EVERY donut was delicious definitely did not disappoint Kay Donuts located in the plaza with Publix near Pizza Hut on Winchester Rd Huntsville AL

I bought two dozen donuts to take into work on my first day. Everyone who tried them was so impressed! I was asked multiple times where they were from and received lots of comments on how good they were. I've been back multiple times and the owners are always nice and cheerful and the donuts and breakfast sandwiches are top notch! Price is very fair as well for the quality. Go here!

I had been searching for a local pastry shoppe and found this place. So, I gave them a call. The man who answered the phone was quite standoff-ish when I inquired about their business and if they had particular types of pastries. The man then hung up on me and wouldn?t answer the phone when I called back. (Strike 1) Of course I figured I?d drive down there and inquire in person. I asked the man whose voice I recognized immediately if they were having phone issues. He looked me in the eye and said the

My family has been going to Kay May for about a year now. We always head there for special occasions like birthdays. I?ve always loved the quality and the service, but today caused me to make sure to leave a review. I took my newly 4 year old son in to pick a donut for his birthday. We ordered our things (we LOVE the kolaches) and I was paying when the gentleman asked my son what his favorite donut was. He got him that donut and extra donut holes in his own bag, free of charge. My son was so happy, and the

Donuts here are always fresh and you're always greeted with a big welcome

Best donuts around. So much better than Krispy Kreme! This was $10! And no matter what box you get, she always gives you some free donut holes.

I drive from Madison to get donuts from this place. Best donuts and friendliest service anywhere around Huntsville. I stopped by today just before closing and they still had a good selection and good quality. It?s worth the drive!

Some of the best prices around with friendly people and great tasting donuts and pastries. Highly recommend.

Always fresh, delicious donuts, and super friendly!

So not big on reviews BUT the people working there were absolutely awesome and they guys son playing on his PC made this security guards day playing the song texas red and wishing me a blessed and safe day. I rarely see that kind if politeness and that place has me as a life customer.

Literally the best doughnuts in North Alabama!

This is my favorite donut place!! The woman who runs it is just wonderful as well. Good pricing for good donuts, and the kolaches and cheesesteak egg rolls are amazing too (though, you gotta get in early for those!)

Really good donuts and an excellent variety to choose from. The Apple fritter is the best! Cinnamon rolls are also excellent. And for fresh homemade donuts, the prices are very reasonable. Visiting family in the area from five states away so this was my first visit. Would definitely return here if I lived in the area. I bought a dozen and didn't know this but evidently when you buy a dozen donuts they throw in a dozen holes! And those were my daughter's favorite so everyone was happy!

Awesome donut shop. Really low prices in my opinion. Everything you see in the picture for around $15 and really good tasting. 10/10.

I visited for the first time today, and it appears that I'm throwing a wrench into the standard five star review. To begin, fruit flies were inside the top tier where the cream filled donuts were kept. I ordered fritters from the bottom tier, and donut holes from the other side. The donuts and fritters were bland, flavorless, stale, cold, oily, heavy and dry. The outside was wet with oil but the inside was so dry it was difficult to chew. I do not understand how this establishment has garnered so many five

I was so pleasantly surprised with this place! I am picky about my Donuts but found these to be super fresh and tasty! I had the original and chocolate glazed and my boyfriend had the Apple fritter. All were delicious! We will be going back.

Small hole in the wall place. But BEST unknown little place I've been to. The donuts are to die for. Selections of all kinds. And great priced with wonderful service. I love it here!!

I have loved and craved donuts my entire life, and I have eaten them any and every chance I got. I don't know what kind of magic spell is cast over these peices of edible perfection, but these make every other donut I have ever enjoyed in my life look sad in comparison. If you or someone you know really Love donuts, this place is well worth the drive to get them. If I had to drive 8 hours round trip to get these I would. Yes, they are THAT GOOD.

We love the donuts and the Owner is so sweet. We love home town donut shops! We get donuts every weekend! Also try K-May?s FAMOUS PHILLY EGG ROLLS, you will NOT be sorry. If she doesn?t have any made she will make you one. We love this place. Not the cleanest place but always good donuts and wonderful conversation.

I went awhile ago, and (I believe it was the owner) that served me, and she was super friendly! The Donuts were very good, and I felt I had spent a fair price for the assorted dozen I purchased.

Love this place! Great donuts! Will be back!

I finally remember to set them in my maps because I always miss that little sign out there. Anyway great donuts and nice people. They even made up a dozen unglazed apple fritter for me. Them in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 and they're crunchy on the outside and warm on the inside.

We stop by here whenever we are driving to or past Huntsville, Al. Really friendly folks running it and great donuts and our favorite. Kolacha. They always give us extra donut holes for our pup dog.

I'm sorry to be the sour note for what seems to be a well-loved donut shop, but... I found these donuts to be disgusting. They were big, and pretty, sure, but the glaze/frosting used on them is overpoweringly, sickly sweet and absolutely reeks of coconut. Even getting near the box sitting on the counter and you get hit in the face with this coconut-y smell. And they're not coconut donuts. I don't know what they use to make the glaze, but it's terrible. The store itself was clean and the woman who took my o

Or family favorite. This donut shop is family-owned and operated. The staff are sweet and love engaging my kids. If you bring your small children in with you, be prepared to take home a few freebies-- when I have the kiddos in tow I can usually anticipate an extra donut or dozen donut holes. Sweet donuts, sweeter people! :)

A must stop ,awesome donuts! You won?t be disappointed

Love this place! The donuts are awesome but the Kolaches and cheesesteak egg rolls are the bomb! The service is also great and they are so nice and friendly.

I've never been to a donut shop that had something for everyone.. this is it! Not to mention the mini donut holes that were added to our box... they were amazing! Highly recommend this place!

Anytime I?m out of town I am always looking for local donut shop.K-May has met my expectations! The establishment was clean, staff was helpful, and had a variety of donuts. Most important the donuts were delicious!

Sometimes its better just to open a box of donuts that someone brings in without actually seeing where they came from. It wasnt the cleanest, most professional looking place. The man working was friendly. The place had a funky smell to it as well. The donuts were good, but after seeing the inside of the place, i was a little hesitant to eat them.

It is super tasty and fresh. They Cooking at the place.

This place is worth the drive. She threw in an extra donut and a handful of donut holes with my order. The steak eggroll is a must try! Be aware, the new location is 1 mile north of the old location just past McDonald's on the left side of the road. Google maps took me to the old address.

I stop early in the morning. The apple fritters are really good. Heck all the baked goods are delicious. The staff is friendly and they add a few donut holes to my bag each time I stop. Just a little extra.

Wasn?t a donut person and now I want their blueberry cake donuts all the time. The sweetest lady is always there working which is the cherry on top.

The absolute best donuts I've had. The price for such quality is insanely good. I will be recommending these to anyone. Continue exactly what you guys are doing <3

These folks take pride in their doughnuts. I brought some into work for Ron and Charles. He is a doughnut connoisseur and raved about how good they were. It didn't take long for them to forget I was late.

Good selection of delicious donuts! They also have some savory items for breakfast or lunch. Donut holes with every order! They are always so friendly!

These donuts are fried in coconut oil, so they're practically health food! Plus, they're super yummy. I especially recommend the Apple fritters. Succulent, with a terrific tangled batter kind of texture that makes them a blast to pull apart.

ETA: We've been coming here for years now, it's consistently great. The clerk this morning was super nice and the donuts and kolaches are as good as always. Fast service, good food

K-May has the best donuts and customer service on the north side of Huntsville. My kids have grown up going there. We enjoy it every time.

These are the best donuts. The steak rolls are super good, one of them will fill you up. As for service, the owner needs to give lessons to a lot of people.

My Friend is always so nice.. You must come early to get a better selection. Because once they're gone , it's gone! And they sure are gooood and fresh! My daughter always picks up 3 dozen doughnut holes before her Games on the weekend. She shares with her teammates after the game. They dissappear in 60 seconds!

Very good selection (but don't go right when they open, they won't have everything out until 5:15-5:30). Much better than the typical DD or KK.

Always a pleasure to stop in at K-May Donut Shop in Meridianville, the wide variety of donuts and other tasty treats makes you always want to come back for more! Friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Excellent treats!

Great little shop. Everything is fresh made and selection is awesome. Every one I tried was delicious. From the apple fritter to the blueberry were outstanding. Guess I will let everyone else go and let me know what they think since going as much as I would like is not on the 2019 plan. Lol enjoy!

Great establishment! Cant rate high enough!

They have the greatest donuts jelly filled is my favorite love the fritters can't keep writing but they have got the freshest of all love the egg rolls and have had the honor watching when I go to see how she's growing into a beautiful young lady

This K-May Donuts are awesome. K-May is a very very unassuming place. The first time I walked in years ago I thought, "Oh my gosh, should I leave?!" I keep going back and back over the years. It must be a franchise since there are other K-Mays (Donuts and Doughnuts) around. I haven't visited those. The taste of the donuts at this location is amazing and unique. I think I could pick them out of a line-up. A must taste experience for donut lovers. Well worth driving past Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts

Google says they are permanently closed but they are DEFINITELY OPEN(7 days a week) & are NOT closing!! I went this morning. Best Donuts I can find in the Huntsville area! Great people! P.S. She ALWAYS throws in free donut holes! Getchu some!

Try the blueberry donut! We stopped in and got half a dozen others that were good but the owner encouraged us to try the blueberry. She said she always starts her day with one and she is right to! I was halfway home and nearly turned around for six more. :)

The best donuts around. The lady who runs this place is super sweet and usually trows in a few extra donut holes. The donuts are to die for. I love these with a good cup of coffee. Highly recommend this place.

Love the donuts here! I'm very sad that I got them just passing through, if I lived in the area I would eat these all the time.

Awesome doughnuts! Great prices! This establishment is among the best in Meridianville. They ALWAYS give you more than you pay for. The doughnuts are delicious and priced fairly. Go there ASAP!

The owner is the sweetest! I am always pleased when I come and she always throws in extra kindness with her service. She's moving soon next to pizza hut, but my family and I will continue to seek her business!

Kolaches are amazing, the donuts are so fresh ans delicious. Service was great, it's a 21 minute drive from where we are but it is soo worth it.

The donuts are incredible! So so good, and they always throw in some donut holes with the box, which is really nice! Highly recommend if you live in the area.

First time eating here. It was amazing many types of donuts. They even gave me extra items for free. I highly recommend this fine establishment

5:00 PM - in the mood to take home a couple donuts for the wife and kid. Store was not trashed, but trashy. I know it's just a donut shop - but hey... if the front looks this crappy, what's the back look like? The donut employee (probably family of owner or owner) took a minute to get up and leave her boyfriend (hanging out or working, couldn't tell) to ask me what I wanted. There wasn't much left - so I took some holes and a couple mixed glazed and cinnamon sugar coated. They weren't 1/10th as good as th

Kay has the best donuts in Huntsville. Always with a smile and friendly service. Get there early before she runs out. Always fresh.

Great donut shop but they recently moved. Google takes you to the old spot for some reason even though they fixed their address to be the new one. If you want to go you just have to type in manually the address they have on google. But other than that it?s a great donut shop with good kolaches

Great donuts. Great service.

The lady that works here is very nice. She fills the box up full with donuts, a good price, good food, and generous people. I recommend the Pigs in a blanket, bear claw, or apple fritters.

Breakfast sandwich here was clutch. Their apple fritter was also delicious. They had a pineapple one i might try next time

Always fresh. Hard-working owner's that always friendly and kind, even at 4:30 in the morning. If I just order one donut, she always throws in fresh donut holes too.

The Kolaches are my favorite and the donut holes taste so buttery. Best donuts in the area. The owner is so sweet too. We are loyal customers!

Wide variety of fresh sweet donuts. The worker was very pleasant and friendly. I just wish they had donuts without glaze.

Friendly Service, Donuts were terrific and tried one of their hot kolaches, basically an amazing sausage inside a fresh flaky breakfast roll. Had the jalapeno one and will be back!

K-May donuts are the best. They use coconut oil to cook their donuts and the owner always gives you a little extra in your box freshly made every morning the best donuts ever don't miss out

Best Donuts I've ever ate and they have the greatest Food invented which is a Cheese Steak Eggroll. Make sure to call ahead for the Egg Rolls.
