Love love love their fluffy doughnuts. Make sure to come early because once they sell out of anything, that's it. Cute shop, great variety.
Doughnuts are getting so small compared to what they used to be prices are still the same. My child and I could share a doughnut last year this year, they're shrinking. Still have best flavors and best services.... doughnuts are juts getting much smaller prices are not.
Gem of a spot I randomly found on my road trip. Don't sleep on this place, the donuts are amazing and there is a wide variety of options.
The doughnuts are so delicious and the workers are so nice. There is one worker though that is very sarcastic and mean. My son and I went in there one day and he wasn?t welcoming or nice. We almost walked out but my son loves these doughnuts. Service is definitely much better when he isn?t there.
For me personally, their donuts ?? are addictive because of the flavor and texture, so I have to watch myself lol . The atmosphere is warm and inviting plus the fact I only live 5 minutes away. ??
Awesome locally owned shop. Their donuts are delicious as are the kolaches. Service is top notch as well.
I ordered one of the sausage dogs and 4 donuts, Red Velvet, Pumpkin, Oreo, and Blueberry, shared with grandkids, everything was so good. Quick service, nice selection of donuts and other treats.
Absolutely delicious doughnuts and wonderful service. We have gone multiple times and plan to return. Definitely give them a visit. The glazed doughnut is our favorite!
The sausage kolaches are amazing, just like I used to have in Texas, even a little better!! The family-owned atmosphere makes you feel at home! The donuts, OH MAN, you can't stop eating them! They even have banana filling!
Hands down the best doughnuts in the city. The family is also extremely friendly.
I actually liked their donuts better than Krispy Kreme. That?s crazy for me. I don?t like any donuts better than Krispy Kreme. So enough said. Also their frappes are so much better than Starbucks. But I never really liked Starbucks to begin with because their drinks taste like chalk.
One of the best donuts in town! Absolutely love going here, the staff is super wonderful and sweet. Donuts in the morning is the best way to start the day!
The donuts are okay, they are not extravagant but good for the price. Customer service was great, didn?t see any other customers for 20 minutes and the donuts were a bit crispy. I definitely think you should support this business if you like sweet treats.
Best donuts in town! Awesome Maple Bacon, Fruity Pebble, and other delicious toppings. Best of all, they pipe the cream fresh into the cream-filled ones for you! Awesome place!
The donuts are amazing and priced inexpensively. My only hiccup is the coffee but....who cares your there for the donuts. Right???
Best Donuts around the area! If you are ever in the area, this is a stop you should add to your list. Donuts are always fresh and tasty. Great selection of fillings. Just all around an amazing place to stop to get your sweet tooth craving!
My partner and I were going to Biggby coffee and we happened to see this donut place! We were actually craving donuts and boba tea, so we decided to check it out. These are probably some of the best donuts I?ve ever had! I?ll be coming back for more, and it?s so close to my new home. The lady was also very nice! :)
They have the best bubble tea! The mango is absolutely awesome. They give you a choice of the chewy boba or the popping boba for the tea. I've been to several places around this area and around High Point, and this is by far my favorite. Plus, they have donuts. Win-win.
My daughter and I have picked up donuts here 3 times and we always experience great service. The lady that helps us always takes extra care and time with her. It is a hidden gem in the Food Lion shopping center. The donuts and selection are great and fresh. Please stop by and support an awesome local business.
the store front and display is very nice. never been here before. maybe its just the time i went but the donuts i ordered looked great as well as the apple pies, but biting in and tasting was another thing. the oil they were fried in tasted old. the after taste leaves me to question if i ever come back which is a shame because these are the donuts i'm used to before i moved and few places still make the old fashion donut
Great selection, very welcoming staff and friendly environment. Smells amazing here too. Coffee tastes great, and as a Brazilian I love and know coffee well. I had a blueberry fritter and an old fashioned donut.. both not too sweet, great consistency. Decoration and presentation is very catchy and comfortable in here, really cozy, options are well layed-out. My friend didn't like his frappe but he's an idiot,so... They fixed it by adding more coffee.
Oh my goodness these doughnuts are amazing!! We came across Kernol's Donuts while running errands. We are so, so glad we stopped in. First off, it smells amazing inside! The variety of doughnuts, bear claws, twists....is all wonderful. Very yummy.
They are very nice but I've been here several times where they're low on product in the middle of the day. It's like they don't prepare for the hours that they're open. They should keep a certain amount of donuts until they close and that includes filled donuts. In-townz donuts are way better on Jonestown Road. There's not any time of the day from open to closing where you can't get the donuts that you want.
Yummy! We had a donut with sprinkles and a Boston Cream. So good and fresh. I loved the table of teddy bears!
One word...YUMMY! This was my first visit to Kernol's and unfortunately for my diet, it won't be my last??! The donuts & pastries are of outstanding quality because they are made fresh daily so the dough almost melts in your mouth. The flavor and texture of the custard is also wonderful. I can't wait to try their breakfast items, more donuts and the boba tea! I also hope to share these delicacies with my coworkers because they even deliver for meetings. The staff is super friendly too!
service was excellent and the flavor selection was great. we opted for a red velvet cake, a plain old fashioned, and a yeast doughnut- all were just the right amount of sweet/rich. looking forward to bubble tea in the warmer weather! we will definitely be back!
Kernol's makes great doughnuts. They are fresh and homemade. I also like the fact they are not overly sweet. Some of my favorites are the chocolate covered old fashioned and pumpkin donut. The fritters are also very good. Service is fast and friendly and it is great to support a local business.
Best.Donuts.Ever.! Seriously the freshest softest most delicious donuts I?ve ever had. My daughter says it?s like eating a cloud! Will never buy a Dunkin Donut ?? again!
My husband and I went here after getting some not so great health news. We wanted some maple bacon doughnuts, they didn't have any but the sweet lady who owns it asked if we'd like her to make us some. Not only did she make them just for us she also went above and beyond with service. We shared with her what we had going on and she prayed with us and just lifed our spirits. Also, delicious bubble tea. Love getting doughnuts from here.
The donuts are moist and soft. I really enjoyed the cinnamon rolls. It honestly is one of the best I ever had. I have gone out of my way when passing this area for one.
I am grateful that they are on the other side of town because if they were any closer I would be there daily & my Dr would not like that!! The selection is wonderful (you even have options for different fillings for certain donuts). Their fritters (apple, blueberry & cherry) are the best I have ever had! They even have an apple pie donut.... OMGoodness it is so good!! Reasonably priced and better than any other donut I have had in a very long time (and that includes Duck Donuts, Dunkin & Krispy Kreme) !! Wo
Went here for the kolaches. Wish they had a better assortment. The donuts were very good.
I've been here twice. The first time was to try the doughnuts. While there I saw and purchased an apple fritter. The second time I went only for the fritters. The fritters is the reason for my 5 star rating! They are divine!!! The doughnuts are fresh and look delicious, but for me, they're just too sweet. I love sweets, but I like flavor profiles. I can't taste the other flavors like chocolate or the different creams because they're just so sugary sweet. But they do know how to make the best fritters
Donuts are good but the Boba tea is bland and disgusting...in fact it's the worst I've ever had. The Boba is like a wet power bubble. Like wet baby powder. Will not recommend or buy a tea there again.
I came here for the bubble teas but I grabbed a few donuts and they were very delicious. Probably around 3pm that I swung by and they were still soft. If you haven't tried the bubble tea it's a must especially the Mango! Correction honeydew is the must try flavor!!! ?
Excellent donuts and phenomenal customer service. My wife and I got the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant and we loved it. We also decided to get a dozen donuts because it was our first time and we wanted to sample everything!! All was delicious and we can't wait to go back!
Donut holes are absolutely delicious. They are always fresh and never hard or stale. The cinnamon rolls are just as good and the fact that there are 3 different kinds to choose from is a huge plus.
If you?re looking for the sugar experience this is the place to go. Unfortunately if you are looking for a fritter that you taste the fruit this is not the place. The fruit is overwhelmed by the sugar and they put a lot of fruit in their fritters. The glaze on their donuts unfortunately is the same. About 1/3 less sugar would make this a five star.
A really great experience. I got the large coconut boba tea and a donut with white frosting and Fruity Pebbles on top. The boba tea was immaculately sweet and delicious. The donut was amazing and not as sweet as a Dunkins or Crispy Creme donut but I mean that in a good way. The lady that served me at the counter was polite and efficent. She low key gave me a free bag of donut holes too with my purchase. I guess why not when I came in 20 minutes before closing time. The only negative I have for this place is
Best donuts I have ever had. So soft. The filled donuts are filled when you purchase them. There are 7 options to fill them with. The only place I go for donuts.
Always friendly and food is outstanding!!! Highly recommend.
So happy I found a place that sells fresh kolaches (sausage roll)! If you are a transplant to Winston-Salem and you miss the mom and pop donut shops from back home, this is it. The donuts and fritters are excellent as well.
This has to be my 8th time coming here and it never fails , from the set up in the display to the smell, mmmm. These are the old fashioned donuts that will fill you up because they are so heavy, where I can kill a box of a dozen glazed from krispy cream, just 2 donuts and I?m couch locked. Don?t come in if your a weak person trying to watch your carbs, fats and all that, if you want some great donuts/ fritters / and boba tea served with a smile that leaves you walking out with one as well, this is the place
Was excited to see a donut shop coming in the shopping center, but it is very expensive. I have lived in TX and thought they are very similar to the donut shops there (one on every corner!) but no boudain! Kolaches are good alternative to breakfast biscuits! Check those out, I'd say its worth it, for something different!
Kernol's Donuts are phenomenal!! I was a KK fan through and through but I love these donuts. Bowties are great, fritters are amazing. You can taste the fruit in the fritters. Always fresh. Location is great!
Great and wonderful owners. I love shopping local, and their donuts are always nice and fluffy. Support these great business owners. They are priced really well too!
Best donuts around. Coming from the birthplace of KK Kernols beat them hands down. No matter when you visit the donuts are always fresh and delicious. Customer service is top notch as well. Their Apple and Cherry fritters are amazing. Once you have Kernols donuts you will never eat donuts from anywhere else.
Went there to try the boba tea yesterday, it was not good at all! Complete waste of $5 ????? horrible first time experience with the boba tea, it was nothing like the boba bubbles you get at sweet frog
Absolutely phenomenal doughnuts. Seriously so delicious. The woman in the shop today was so kind and gave my very hungry 2 year old a few doughnut holes to hold her over. We will DEFINITELY be back.
Best fresh croissants, and the koshcies were amazings. We had the bear claws with berries, plain,, and donut holes.. Everything was great.. Fresh made everyday.. Great local family run business to support.
Absolutely the best donuts I have ever tasted. My favorite is the bear claw raised donut with apple filling. The donuts taste just like the best homemade donuts ever. We are blessed to have just down the street from where we live.
Lovely business. Unique options along with your Dunkin Donut variety. I had the blueberry fritter. It was not as sweet as it looked. Which was great by me.
Had gnats landing on donuts, hot chocolate tastes bad, hesitant to eat any donuts that I bought today.
Went today. They have the freshest donuts. Excellent
five star experience, wonderful staff, delicious bubble tea, amazing donuts. best donut shop ive ever been to. <3
Amazing doughnuts! ???? My husband and I love coming here. The owner is very kind and friendly too!
My first visit to Kernol's Donuts today. I was very impressed with the place and loved the idea of fresh donuts daily! Love my donut. Will definitely go back for more!
Tasty new doughnut shop. Friendly owners and staff with gun marketing. Delicious seasonal doughnuts and Staples like plain yeast, old fashioned, fritters and bear claws.
Always the freshest donuts. So light and fluffy even coffee to keep you warm ?? Thank you for being there! Happy Holidays!!
Delicious, old fashion donuts. No, they don?t have any crazy flavors but they have every single traditional style donut you can think of, which is why I go to a donut shop.
Love, love this place! The staff is always so friendly and helpful. The donuts and pastries are exceptional. Always tasty and fresh!!
Very light and fresh donuts. The apple fritters are perfect. Great service. Their hours have changed to 7 am m-f, 8 am s-s
Clean and freshly baked. They also have a decent selection of breakfast sandwiches and coffee based drinks made to order.
Donuts are fabulous, fresh tasty definitely worth while to stop in for your favorite donut! Have tried several dozen purveyors of donut?s, none so far compare to the quality or flavor!
The donuts were very good and they have Boba drinks. I have visited a few time since discovering this place. I plan to try all the flavors of Boba.
Omg melt in your mouth Bang Bang Bang ????
Never expected kolaches in Arcadia. The kolaches are just about as good as you can get in Texas and the assortment of donuts, bear claws, and fritters are just like Christy's in Houston.
Friendly staff and some of the best doughnuts in town. I can't go back to Krispy Kreme after eating these. They're so much better!
Fresh, tasty and priced accordingly. Highly recommend if you need something sweet.
Really tasty bubble tea, good iced coffee, and great donuts. They have lots of variety, good prices, breakfast sandwiches. Really nice place.
Loved Kernol's. I got glazed donuts and they tasted very delicious. Reminded me as but of the Krispy Kreme chain glazed donuts which are great so I'm not complaining
Not only are the donuts delicious but Amy was fantastic and super sweet! She is always great!
Buy from this shop all the time. Treats for team members. Maple bacon, cinnamon swirl, etc... I have not tried their beverages, but they advertise bubble tea.
Awesome donuts and such friendly people. We always tell people these are the best donuts in Winston. We love them!
Recommend this over Krispy Kreme. Very clean inside. Smells so good. The staff is supper nice. Donuts are very good and fresh.
They are always really nice. I know they are probably tired of us talking all their cinnamon twists, but they are just too irresistible.
A hidden gem in the city. Delicious doughnuts. Warm, friendly atmosphere and lotS to choose from. Also, the place is very clean.
Love this place. Very nice people and fast service. Best of all are the APPLE FRITTERS. Best I've ever had by far. Try one and you'll be hooked
Best donuts around. The apple fritters are my favorite. Great people very nice.
Never tried bubble tea before, definitely have to go again and try a different flavor, thanks
Forget Krispy Kreme and Dunkin! If you you want fresh donuts plus EXCELLENT, friendly customer service, Come to Kernols donuts!!! You deserve the best!!
Best LOCAL donut joint! Highly recommend!!!
Design your own miniature donuts
Delicious! Always fresh! You can even pick what filling you want most days and they do it right then!
I'm absolutely in love with this place!! Their donuts are incredible and irresistible!!!
Great place with amazing food, but the real treat is meeting the family who runs this shop. Can?t wait to come back!
Best donuts in my opinion. I can't stand the "chain" donuts.
Amazing family owned doughnut shop that has freshly baked doughnuts every day ??
