Customer Reviews

In town for work for a few days and stopped by for a donut. Service was great. Donuts are very fresh. I?ve had my share of maple bacon donuts and this might?ve been the best one yet. Highly recommend

I am from Chicago and wanted to get a good donut. My daughter took me here and I am so glad she did! These donuts are fresh and delicious. The apple fritters are wonderful.

So many delicious choices. If you want sweet-donuts! If you want savory-kolaches!! They?re about an hour away from us on 280 but, lucky for me, I fly in and out of Birmingham and drive right past them. On my way home, I always stop for kolcahes, boudin (OMG!), conecuh sausage and regular sausage and a few donuts. We enjoy them for the next few days. They don?t last very long.

First of all, they have alot of doughnuts to choose from. By the way, they all look amazing. We got 1/2 dozen assorted & they are really good. Also,I got a jalape?o/ cheese kolache.....It is so Good! My husband got the cinnamon roll( it's HUGE), he said it was delicious ! The girl that served us this morning was just so friendly. Before we checked out, I saw these cinnamon doughnut holes that looked so good, she gave us 4 to just try. Those are the best doughnut holes that I have ever tasted. If u are in th

Omg these donuts are so good and fresh!! So glad I decided to turn around and go here instead of dunkin when I realized I passed it! Lol this place is SO good.

If you pay with a card they will automatically charge you for a tip even though they don?t do any work other than putting a few donuts in a box. I was very angry to look at my receipt and see that the little girl gave herself a tip on my credit card when it certainly wasn?t deserved seeing as she didn?t do anything. It was very loud because she had loud music blaring in the back.

This place is amazing!! I haven't had a decent donut since moving here from new york 3 years ago until I found this place!! Everything was so fresh and the tasted great. The girl behind the counter was really nice to us too. We will definitely be going back soon

First time in and decided to try a little bit of everything, however it?s not fair to say the twists counts as 2 donuts and all the exclusions for the half dozen/dozen mixed is such a rip off.

I?ve been to this donut shop a couple of times and each time has been a pleasant experience. This is one of my mom?s favorite donut places in the Calhoun county area.

When you want fresh doughnuts, with a great selection, go here. The staff is always friendly and never fail to provide service with a smile. If they don?t have the type you?re looking for, they will usually make them for you while you wait. I like them a lot more than that doughnut chain that advertises their coffee more than their doughnuts.

Love this place! They have the best lemon filled donuts and maple with bacon topped ones! I live in Georgia, but every time I go to Alabama I have to stop and get some.! The staff are very kind and friendly. As a matter of fact ,the last time I was there ,I left my bill fold on counter. Within 15 minutes I realized I didn't have it ,checked car then called them. They had found it and kept it sade for me till I could drive back to get it. Thank you so much! You are angels!

Took my wife there she enjoyed it when did daylight donuts they close she won't be going back because she found this now this the main ?? stop

The doughnuts are always fresh and delicious. The employees are always friendly and patient with us while making our doughnut selections. So many delicious items to choose from. The maple bacon doughnuts are a must try. They are definitely a local favorite.

My friend lives in Oxford, AL and she said the donuts from Lickin Good Donuts are better than Krispy Kreme. Now Krispy Kreme donuts are my favorite and I don't even eat Dunkin Donuts, they are so bad to me. We went to Lickin Good Donuts and she was right! These donuts were prefect. I had the glazed donut and the sugar twist donut. They were so good! You have to try them!

Lickin Good Donuts is my favorite place, I go there a lot for the Sour Cream Cake donuts and cinnamon rolls. The experience is always good but for the first time 8/8/24 was not. Whoever made the donuts today should NEVER again!!! Usually they are fluffy, soft, and absolutely delicious....this morning they were overcooked, dark brown on the bottom, dense, crispy edged and very greasy....I did not realize this until I got home with a half dozen. Please...WHO EVER MADE THE DONUTS TODAY 8/8/24....LET SOMEONE EL

Hey! I came in there this morning with my mom to get a donut for my birthday. My family and I have always had a good experience here. The donuts are great and the employees are normally very nice and welcoming. However, this morning was a different story. The girl who took our order was very rude and immature. She ended up giving me the wrong donut and all I did was walk back in and say hey I ordered chocolate sprinkle not blue sprinkle. She must have misheard me which is no problem. However, she was very r

The glazed croissants are the best I ever had?..

I had one of the best pastries I've ever had in my life! It was a crescent with strawberry filling and strawberries. They don't have it all the time, but they definitely should. Well maybe not because I would want to buy one everyday ??. I've only gotten it once and I wish I had taken a picture of it before I devoured it.

Excellent donuts! Good selection. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend.

The donuts here are very delicious and the lady who gave us great customer service was very pleasant and The donuts was very delicious and the lady also took the time to make even more fresh donuts for me & my mom. I would?ve gave five stars all across-the-board only reason why I gave four stars for atmosphere is because if you?re not paying attention, you can easily pass by this place of business, this doughnut restaurant is located in a small plaza in Oxford Alabama, but other than that great experience.

Wish they served glazed cake donuts

Excellent doughnuts. I highly recommend.

This is our first time eating here. So fresh and they stay fresh. Tasty too!

The only place in town with the best donuts. Staff - always friendly. Good vibes all around. Everything is always fresh. We love Licking Good Donuts.

I ?? it! The Maple??Bacon ??is my favorite, it rock's??my?? & the flavors are like a ?? going off in my ??...The phenomenal ladies that work there have a ?? of gold...everytime I stop by to get one of my favorite desserts; I am always welcomed with their beautiful ?? and they ask me how life is treating my family and I. I would recommend everyone stopping by to try for yourself...????&?

Next best thing to Krispy Kreme.

This place has not disappointed us yet..their donuts are very delicious..this place reminds of a donut shop called Winchells that my older sister introduced me to when I moved from Samoa to California..thank you so much to the staff which by the way are nice and courteous for bringing back fond memories...i recommend this place to any donut consumer..especially the maple bacon ?? one if you are lookin for new donut shop ..yummm yummy..

Ordered the peanut butter filled for the first time, it was delicious.

Bacon maple donuts are the best. So good.

Do not remember ever being treated as rudely as I was treated here.RUDE RUDE RUDE. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. WILL NEVER RETURN.

This place is 10x better than Dunkin and Krispy Creme in my opinion. Their donuts and iced coffee is amazing. The donuts taste so fresh, even after sitting in the box hours after being taken home. I'd come here more often if they were a location closer to me. They have such a big wide variety of choices in donuts, and they had some sort of breakfast items with sausage but, I'm just interested in donuts when I go to a donut shop! Stop in if you ever get the chance! You won't regret!

Best doughnuts I've ever eaten. The only issue is that they sell out too quickly and are often closed when I get there or don't have a good selection. It would be great if they could keep the doughnuts stocked.

Great donuts! Get there early for the best selection.

Awesome all the way around. Can't beat this place. Love the maple bacon donut, but my all time favorite is a regular glazed warm donut. If I could make this place my breakfast bar I would. Wake up happy every day

This is by far the best doughnut place... I used to only like k.kreme but after eating these I have forever changed! Doughnuts taste home made & super fresh!

AMAZING donuts and they were really polite & sweet, definitely my new place

This place is awesome,,best doughnuts around ,they beat Krispy cream,,I love all but my favorite is the maple ,,go give them a try ...there's a licking good doughnuts in Alexandria Alabama,, Jacksonville Alabama,,Oxford Alabama,,centre Alabama..

Donuts are always soft and yummy!

My husband loves the bacon maple donut(that's the 2 stars) ..now times are posted open til 6pm and several trips there they have already closed, and I'm talking before 2pm.... I ordered a Texas size breakfast burrito and ended up with a Rhode Island size taco, while the flavor was ok it was over priced. ..and I've yet to to taste anything with the conecuh sausage due to being out of items..? 2023 update:. This location isn't up to par with the other locations ??

Some of the best donuts I've ever had! In particular, the maple bacon and peach cream filled donuts are absolutely irresistible!

Always friendly, clean and quick. Always opens a bit earlier than 0530 which allows me to pick up donuts and still be on time to work before 6 am.

The Apple fritter was OK but light on Apple pieces and flavor. The gentleman working behind the counter seemed annoyed that my group would like to order anything other than a dozen donuts. Selection was scant but the prices were good.

I had the most wonderful experience was first time going and my daughter who don?t like donuts said mommie these were delicious. Will definitely be back. Went at 2pm and these donuts were light and taste like they were just baked.

Okay so I've always come here for the sausage and cheese kolaches, mostly because everyone is always super sweet and friendly. But today i thought we would try something new and got some regular glazed donuts. My father at the same time was apparently getting a dozen glazed from the new Dunkin Donuts. When we got home and realized this we decided to do a comparison and this is what we found: Dunkin Donuts: Their donuts felt more substantial, heavy with a thicker dough and more of a chew, pleasant enough bu

These doughnuts are awesome..my daughter and me went in and a sweet lady waited on us and they were so nice and the doughnuts were so fresh and good ..we will be going back for more ..I've never tasted a doughnut so fresh and good ..and very reasonable prices ?? ??...awesome job

Good donuts. I wanted 18 donut holes which I have been getting every morning. This morning a new lady said she could only sell 12 or 24???? I asked why I couldnt buy 6 out of the case & she said it would mess up their inventory?????? I thought they were all for sale. I guess not. Wont be going back.

I was so upset when LaMar's n their amazing donuts closed. I have to say, though, these are so close to being the same amazing Donuts!

I've never actually been to the store but have had the doughnuts brought to me and they are as close to kripsy kremes as I've ever tasted.

The name says it all... Lickin good!!

Placed large order was ready on time donuts were great lots of choices opened around 530 am very convenient

Very tasty donuts! Much better alternative to the boring competition.

Lickin Good has the best donuts around! Nobody locally can compete with the flavor and options found here. I recommend the cherry bomb donut, a deliciois kolache, or a dozen donut holes -- you will not be disappointed.

Just found out about this doughnut shop, holy schnikes, just had a maple and bacon glazed , I think I'm in love . Now on a mission to try every conceivable way they can make a doughnut. Steak tartar on a blueberry filled doughnut , I'm throwing that challenge out there . Love the people , love the food , if you don't try one then fu.....just try them out. ????????????????????

Tons of cops are always here..I don't know why. Its a low crime area too. Oh well, the donuts are great fwiw.

Best donuts I've EVER had. My husband said the last box I brought home still tasted fresh the next day. I can't say enough about this place.

I buy the chocolate covered cream filled doughnuts. The last two times I've gotten them, there was hardly any cream inside. It was a puffed up doughnut that you could put your finger in. Very disappointed because they really are flavorable.

You could smell the doughnuts as you enter the shop. My mom and I tried a various of doughnuts. They are sinisterly delicious. Eclair is mom?s favorite so far, and mine is blueberry cake doughnut! Also, glazed doughnuts are best!

Delicious donuts! Friendly employees. Support your local Mom & Pop's. We found these donuts fresh & tasty!

Love the donuts. Would love to have cinnamon twist but there always out. I went up there at 8 am and no twist. Do me a favor make more.

Best doughnuts in town. Apple fritters are amazing

Great donuts here! The maple bacon is my personal favorite, but they are definitely better than dunkin donuts!

Fresh, delicious donuts.. worth the stop! Friendly service.

The staff were so nice and helpful, the Doughnuts were good and fresh but I guess I'm spoiled by Krispy cream because there's none like them!!

Awesome, experience. The staff very friendly. Even went in the back and made the donuts I wanted because they were sold out.

I don't get to go often, because I am trying to do better, but they have a great selection with very fresh, soft donuts, and other items I did not expect.

Weird name but fantastic donuts. Maple bacon and bear claws were delicious. Can't do that more than a couple times a year but its a nice treat.

The young lady was very friendly and the doughnuts were very moist! I purchased the cinnamon twist, lemon-filled, and maple bacon.

Love this little shop!!! Staff was very polite and professional. The donuts is always fresh and very good and they have great pricing.

Excellent service, price, and the best donuts I have ever had. Better than Krispy Kreme on their best day with the light on.

Best donuts ever..so fresh and soft and staff is super friendly. Highly recommend

This experience is unbelievable I would highly recommend anyone that has never been here to go there they would put Krispy Kreme out of business if we had one I end up buying them out of donut holes every time I go which is at least twice a week!

This place is great. Doughnuts are delicious. Staff are very friendly as well. Would recommend to anyone.

Great fresh doughnuts daily, and they also have many other types of sweets & treats

Best donut around! Cinnamon twist and Boston cream are top shelf stuff. The donut holes won't make it home.

Best donuts in town! Clean store. VERY good donuts and Kolaches. You have to try this place out!

Ya gotta try the bacon donuts. Small place but please don't be fooled, the donuts are a gigantic success that's only equaled by the friendliness of the people behind the counter.

Needed something special made for a class I teach at church. After looking at several options they were finally able to fix something that would work. They were very nice and helpful.

They r very delicious. It is tied with Krispy Kreme for me lol. They are definitely worth it

Great customer service and even better tasting donuts! Highly recommend

The donuts are fantastic and the personnel was friendly and had a beautiful welcoming smile

Absolute favorite local donut spot! I stop here whenever I'm nearby in the mornings. The blueberry cake donuts are sooo delicious!

Great donuts, always fresh Great friendly service. And the smells of fresh donuts cooking is out of this world.

Best donuts I've ever had. Non greasy. Clean spotless donut shop. Donuts are so light.

When paying with a debit card they would tip there self without asking.
