Customer Reviews

I absolutely loved my first experience from here! The donuts are a little smaller than your average size, but honestly perfectly portioned so you can spoil your pallete and enjoy a variety of flavor! Sooo that's a huge, YES PLEASE in my book!!! Their chocolate Frappuccino's are very yummy as well, so don't sell yourself short when heading out. If you're still reading this, this may be the sign you've been needing, and it's time that you finally head out and treat yourself! ??

At ??'s Donuts, you will find the most creative, unique, and delicious donut concepts locally available. From their standards to their seasonal treats they are served fresh and warm, (as well as flavored coffees) by Baristas who are just as sweet! You can buy ??ne at a time or get packs to go.

Yes, they were pretty good! Just keep in mind these are drop donuts?not traditional yeast or cake donuts?so they?re more like the mini donuts you?d get at a fair. They were warm and fresh, which was great, but don?t expect something like Krispy Kreme or a classic bakery-style donut.

O?s Donuts 8/10 ?? - Got the 6 pack chose glazed, 2 cinnamon buns, the disco, cookie and cr?me, and cinnamon sugar - Plus got matcha Frappe with vanilla added in 10/10 so yummmy ??

BEST Fresh made donuts around! Each and every one is packed with flavors that explode in your mouth. EVEN BETTER- it?s a locally owned business and not a chain. You watch them made them right in front of your eyes. If your in a hurry you can pre-order or have them delivered using Uber Eats.

First of all, this is THE cutest shop! The vibes are immaculate, and the donuts are even better! I picked up a dozen to take to a Christmas party and they were a HUGE hit. Everyone was talking about how beautiful and delicious they were! Highly recommend O?s for your sweet tooth needs, parties, and a general treat yourself day. They are the BEST! Thanks for making our party a hit!

We stopped by O?s to try the donuts but when we got there and saw the smoothies, we opted for fruit smoothies instead! My daughter got a strawberry lemonade and I ordered a peach, pear apricot with a bit of lemonade. Very delicious. They are made with a smoothie mix instead of fresh fruit but the manager let me look at the bottle and they do not contain added sugars. They hit the spot on this hot summer morning. We enjoyed watching her make donuts for other customers. Cute, clean and latex free, this

I stumbled upon this donut shop when researching donut shop options for the kids. It happened to be a Friday and they had fresh gluten friendly donuts! It made my day. I splurged and got a half dozen and a lavender honey latte! Just heavenly!!!

The store seemed clean and organized. I ordered online, and the order was ready on time. The donuts were hit, fresh, and delicious. This is certainly a nice spot for a donut and some coffee in the Ghent area of Norfolk. Since this was an online order, I did not interact much with the associates.

Fun place! Cake donuts made to order (so they will be HOT), with many toppings to choose from. Peanut butter chocolate was great, and everything-but-the-bagel was interesting, but IMO would have worked a little better on a savory donut base instead of the standard sweet donut. Staff were friendly and donuts looked perfect.

This is my first time coming to this doughnut shop. I would like to say the atmosphere is very cute, I like the seating area and the merchandise available. The costumer service was great and speedy. These doughnuts were on the pricey side, I hate to say it but for the price more effort should be put in for cleanliness and neatness and perhaps larger doughnuts. Taste wise the doughnuts themselves were fresh and soft, there?s multiple flavors to choose from and you can get creative and build your own! As I d

The photo says it all it was super stale when I got it. I ate it right after I got home the crumble topping was dry and crunchy and the icing was flaking off, heating it up did save it from being a complete waste of money but I?d have to say even Walmart has fresher donuts than this.. I?ll revisit but I?ll order something that?s hopefully fresh and not been sitting out in the display case.

I stumbled across this donut shop last month. I had the chocolate reese's donut and it was very delicious. I was in Norfolk again and I had to make a stop by O's to get more flavors. I tried the flavor of the month Reindeer Crunch. That donut was just as good. I wish O's was on the peninsula. You can't go wrong with the flavors they offer. I definitely recommend this donut shop. Two thumbs up.

Donuts are served perfectly warm, all fresh ingredients. Satisfied customer. I enjoyed the Hawaiian sunset donut which is apart of their summer collection.

Very family friendly place. The ladies that were working were hilarious. The donuts are fantastic and made to order right in front of you. Only $15 for a great quality dozen. They also have coffee, milkshakes, and smoothies. If my diet allowed I'd be here everyday.

My driver told me about this place and I insisted we have some together. The freshness and quality of the donuts make you want more. The variety is refreshing and compares to nowhere around. It?s a quaint place with a warm vibe in an essential location. Thanks.

Delicious fresh donuts! The maple bacon was great but the powdered sugar was amazing. Crispy on the outside and soft warm freshness on the inside! Such a great alternative to big box donut shops.

Was recommended to check this place out from a client at my place of business. Ended up getting a box of 12 donuts, of varying flavors. Some maple, some chocolate, one vanilla, and a myriad of other combinations. The donuts themselves had a great flavor, and the maple glazed ones were hands-down the best. The orange-glazed with coconut was fantastic. The peanut butter with chocolate was excellent as well. There's lots of combinations to choose from, and the price point was really good, considering these

What an amazing donut shop. We were headed to the Zoo and decided donuts on a Saturday morning were a must. We placed our order and proceeded to watch them make our dozen from scratch. A variety and all were delicious! Great place!

I came to O's Donuts to pick up a Doordash order around 1:30pm on July 3rd. Upon walking up to the door, it was locked, the store was visibly dark with no one inside. If you all are closed for the 4th of July holiday, at least be courteous enough to your customers and put a sign outside your business or leave a voice-mail stating that you're closed for the holiday weekend. Not only did I have to call my customer to let them know that you are not open, but it also wasted some of my time with getting other po

I visit Donut O?s two to three times a week. Their service is always excellent and the coffee and donuts are always fresh. I look forward to trying there weekly specialty items

I have been coming to O's for years now and they are easily my favorite donut. Better even than Duck donuts. O's is fantastic. And they have good specials drinks too.

Great donuts! Fun topping choices. I had the apple pie donut and my wife had the cinnamon toast crunch one. Both were yummy! Be warned there isn't really amby seating so it's mostly take out only.

Amazing donuts and awesome staff. They are so good! Mom got a coffee and loved it! I got the strawberry sprinkle donut and it was delicious!

Cute place. Love the coffee donuts are made fresh and the flavor or unique and delisious.

I ordered O's Catering for my wedding... let me tell you these did not disappoint! My vendors and guests were all so excited to try these donuts, I even had people grabbing seconds and taking them home! They were gone so fast, we didn't even try any at our own wedding. The process of booking was amazing. Ally was super responsive, answered all my questions with kindness, and was honest through the whole process. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and enhancement to our wedding day! :)

The donuts are made fresh right in front of you. When we got them they were still warm and yummy.

Had one at a remote event and it was really good!

Great donuts at great prices considering customization is included for one glaze and one topping per donut. My son loved the donuts. Seriously reminded me of pound cake but in donut form. Def. coming back. ??

They were so good. I got an assortment of their specialty donuts. I think my favorite was the blueberry cheesecake doughnut. It had a layer of cream cheese frosting with blueberry compote on top they make the donuts fresh kind of like duck donuts. They always have different flavors. I also liked the Hawaiian Sunset and holy cannoli. They also have gluten-free options. They have coffee and this amazing strawberry Matcha latte. I will definitely be coming back to try different donuts.

Made to order cake style donuts. You pick how many, and tell them the coatings and toppings you want to have, and then they make them. You can even watch them cooking and assembling your donuts. They come out warm and fresh, with just a little crunch on the outer layer. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, drinks are available, and it's In a small strip mall so it has parking.

Donuts were perfect treat for the office. There were even gluten free options for some of my coworkers!!

I love their doughnuts. They are made fresh and taste so good warm. They have several different icings and toppings. I love the strawberry with rainbow sprinkles doughnut!

This place is awesome! Come get your doughnut cravings here, and enjoy a decadent snack. Ally and her team are such a pleasure to be greeted by. I've come here for breakfast and to bring doughnuts to work, everyone loved them. Try their coffee out too!

Delicious donuts every time! Coffee is very good too.

yummy, fresh, warm cake donuts :) we got fall coconut and apple crisp!

I visit here every once in a while, had to leave a review for today's encounter. From my experience, this place is always clean, product is always consistently good, staff is always friendly and helpful. So, today I got a seasonal box (6 pack) and a Strawberry Mocha Latte (16oz , also seasonal and DELICIOUS). My 2 year old and I already devoured the Lava Cake, Creme Brulee, and Strawberry Cheesecake donuts (SOOOO GOOD). Left is the Raspberry Truffle, Chocolate Strawberry, and Black Forest. I just know they

Legit amazing doughnuts. Cooked to order. Also I had like 3 and I dont feel too good xD

So cake doughnuts cooked to order and topped how ever i want them. Then to top it off they do a good job. Makes my inner fat guy giddy.

Donuts are amazing! Costumer service on the other hand has not been great. I have been 3x now at different times of the day and its the same 2 girls working. They did not welcome me in and barely acknowledged I was there. When I placed my order they acted like they were doing me a favor for taking it. I understand people have bad days sometimes but I have not felt welcomed going in there once. Unfortunately their attitude has made me chose other establishments some days because I just don't feel like being

Ashley was absolutely Amazing and so Sweet! Y'all have to come & try the Coffee & Donuts they're SO DELICIOUS! Thanks Ashley again for giving me a wonderful 1st Time Experience at O's Donuts ????

Donuts were good but the wait was insane. We showed up at 9:25am and were told the wait was about 15 minutes. We didn?t have our donuts and coffee until 10:10am, roughly 45 minutes later. The donuts are good but only one employee working on a Saturday morning didn?t seem like enough to meet the demand.

Saw them at the wedding expo and they had samples they tasted so good! I'm hoping I can book when I have a bridal shower. Would use for wedding but it's a destination wedding. Anywho great tasting donuts! ??

Clean and cute atmosphere Many different latte options Amazing warm customizable donuts

O?s Donuts is open again! Went here this weekend for donuts and an iced coffee. They had tons of different flavor options. Everything was fresh and delicious and the store is super cute! I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area! I live 35 minutes away, and it was worth the drive.

I gave it one star not because of the taste. The donut taste pretty good. I gave it one start because of the size of the donut (too small) for the price. Also it?s not a traditional donut but more like a cake donut. I was very disappointed and will not go back unless they make traditional donuts and increase size

These are the best donuts I've ever had! Cake donuts are not my first choice for donuts, but I will choose these first every time! Whenever we have family or friends come from out of town we get O's donuts for them. We have even recommended it to locals who haven't been here. The donuts are always fresh and the staff is always friendly and quick. Absolute perfection!

O?s does weddings!!! We ordered 6 types of donuts - 250 total - for our outdoor wedding. They were exceptional!!! Our wedding planner had to keep guests away while the her staff loaded up our donut wall. They smelled amazing and tasted wonderful. They looked beautiul and were the perfect dessert for our big day. O?s Donuts? owner, Linda, is a riot! She?s personable, hysterical, and so fun to work with. The store delivered the donuts on time and there wasn?t a single one left at the end of the night. Would

Must go. Would highly recommend. My husband is a huge donut fan -- myself, not so much. I do love desserts of any kind so I have joined in on the donut adventures in different cities all over the US and this place is ranked top 3 in my opinion. The toppings are mostly the same but the donut batter is ultimately the foundation and yumss! I would happily have a plain donut from this place. Warm, perfectly moist and not too greasy. Good stuff.

My boyfriend and I went here for the first time this morning. After deciding the night before that we were going to try this place in the morning all we could think about was, what the dounuts would taste like... well they were way better than we had even imagined!! What made our experience that much better, was the amazing woman taking care of us behind the counter. She was working by herself, juggling several orders with grace, and kept a smile on her face the whole time and gave us great recommendations.

Delicious and fresh and the time...staff is always friendly and professional...definitely recommend!!!!

Amazing service and food alike! I loved my pumpkin frappuccino, and the donuts were warm and well-topped. The decor inside is so cute, I had to take a picture, and the staff were kind enough to photograph my friend and I together. Definitely worth the drive from VA beach :)

Was excited to surprise my kids before school.. Went in ordered and they started making some warm fresh donuts ( I was pumped ) they then grab mine off the stale heat lamp rack 1 bite and done such a shame that I am probably the first person in the store, I left a tip and then such a let down!!!!

I kind of consider myself a donut connoisseur, I have had all kinds of donuts from all over. I wanted to like these donuts as the worker was very kind, but they were very oil-heavy in my opinion. It was almost all that I tasted. I don?t know if it was old oil or just fried too long but it ruined the flavor of all the donuts for me. Prob won?t be coming back here unfortunately.

Great place! Friendly service accompanied by a wide array of toppings for one of the best donuts I've ever had. My wife loves them and my kids love them as well. Also a very important note, these donuts are not air filled like other places, they are well worth their price.

The best donuts I've ever had! They have a great array that they can make for you. As opposed to most other donut shops where you have to pick whichever donuts they have available, here they make them fresh for you and they're warm when they come out. This will take a few minutes so be aware of that. You can choose different glazes and toppings to make many different combinations. I bring these donuts to every meeting and exam I have with my PhD committee and they have yet to dismiss me from the program.

Seems like I caught them on a bad day but I didn't have the best experience. Their register was down to begin with, and trying to pay was somewhat of an ordeal. We ordered 6 doughnuts and it took a half an hour. There was a lot of people standing around wait. When we finally got our order the box was covered in chocolate. They seemed overwhelmed and ill prepared for the heavy volume of business. The donuts were only so-so.

Awesome tasting donuts ?? taste fresh and very flavorful. I loved the lemon poppy seed one. My son had the peanut butter and jelly one.

I love this place. As do my children. They love watching them make the donuts the way they ordered. It's a specialty shop though so they won't have your regular donuts. They could do with better seating options, but it is a small place so you can't really complain to much.

Their donuts are good and all the staff that I have met have been kind. They don't have as many options as Amazing Glazed (Chesapeake) or Duck Donuts (multiple locations). However, their cake donuts are bigger than both other stores' donuts. I believe it's the only place to get cake donuts in Norfolk.

This is one of those places that illustrates the fact that fresh donuts are just 10x better than normal donuts. You have full customizability here and getting the donuts made to order means that they come out warm, delicately crunchy on the outside, and soft cakey on the inside. They are quite oily and heavier than your typical donut, so get ready for that. There's a ton of creative toppings that you can get - my favorite is the oreo cookies and cream. What these AREN'T are your typical yeast donuts that ar

How have I not known of this place?!?! My wife and I had a hankering for a good donut while we were out by The Pagoda. A quick Google search for nearby donut shops led us here... we'll definitely be visiting again soon.

Oh man! These donuts are AH-MAZING! Made fresh to order cake donuts with a variety of coating and toppings to choose from! I ordered a maple/bacon and a key lime/fruity pebblea and they came out warm slightly cruspynin the outside, soft and perfect on the inside and my topping choices complimented all of that goodness perfectly! I havent been this excited about a cake donut in forever!

Went in here on Sunday morning for the first time and my girlfriend and I both ordered a donut. These donuts are excellent. Within a minute we had our donuts, and (if your wondering what they're like) they have a crispy outer layer, with a warm, melt in your mouth inside. I will go here over Krispy Kreme from now on. At O's you don't have to gamble with whether or not the "light is on". They're delicious, customizable, and delightful. I had the Powder coated one, which I recommend, and am looking forward to

My co-worker brought in some donuts from here, and they were still warm. SO delicious!!! It is close to my workplace, so I am sure this will become a regular outing for us. These donuts are made to order, and I LOVE that.

Meh, like Duck Donuts but not as good. Mine were soggy...

Delicious doughnuts made fresh with creative and tastey glazes and toppings!

This was our first time back to O's since they re-modeled and re-opened. The price has gone up, the donuts have shrunk at least half the size and the donuts were cooked in old grease, you can taste it. We are so disappointed.

5 stars! The donuts have the perfect level of flavor, cake-iness, and crunchy-ness. Even the coffee compliments the donuts well. Definitely will be coming back!

Very friendly staff, a nice, clean shop and INCREDIBLE donuts. Love this place, and will definitely be coming back! Note that there is very limited seating, so plan on taking your donuts to go if O's is busy.

The best donuts I have had. Certainty the best donuts in Norfolk. Order ahead, bring to your family, friends, and coworkers. All are made to order, fluffy and crispy. Enjoy!

These doughnuts are stunning and VERY well priced, especially for their quality. The actual doughnuts themselves are miles beyond other doughnuts shops, just so so good and the topping just take them to a whole new level I didn?t even know was there. I?m very glad I finally decided to pay them a visit!

Ooooooo! They can take my money periodt!!!! If you love novelty or even plain donuts ?? this is the place to be. So many to choose from. Friendly staff, clean environment. Please support this business of young people.

Nice Small Quit Slow but Clean Doughnut Shop. Cake Style Doughnuts Higher End Toppings. Coffee is Good, a Serve Yourself Style. Prices are on the Higher end, Quality is Good. I Would Go Back.

If you are a fan of cake donuts, then this is a great place for you. They make their donuts after you order them so it is always fresh, but that is not the best part. The best part is you can add toppings or customize your donuts.

The concept seems a little bit gimmicky. I thought there is going to displays of doughnuts and pastries, not some teenager adding the toppings to a pre-made doughnut. It is good, but somewhat pricey. Call me old-fashion I guess, but this ain't for me.

They got the best donuts in Norfolk!

These are the BEST donuts around. I like the flavor options that they have and the coffee is good too!

Gluten free (and nut free!!) Fridays!! They are fried donuts but not stuffed, but still donuts!

After the reopening, wait times have gotten longer but still that same great taste!

No vegan options. In Norfolk of all places???? It's not difficult to make a vegan donut. I went to My Vegan Sweet Tooth instead. A longer drive for me but worth it.

Good lord these are the greatest donuts I've EVER had. They are made to order and unbelievable tasty. I highly recommend this place for a special treat.

Definitely not your regular donut shop. Good atmosphere, great bold coffee with an awesome selection of flavors. Love the selection of exquisite donuts that can be breakfast or a dessert

The donuts are literally the best I've ever had! More flavors than any other place! And better quality! And the staff are very friendly!

Donuts are great .. service is super slow. I called 20 minutes in advance and still had to wait 15 min. I ordered 2 dozen but due the wait left with 1 dozen. There were on 2 customers in the store .. no lines. Unsure why the service was slow.

I went here close to closing time and Micheal was amazingly helpful. His awesome customer service combined with the amazing taste of these doughnuts makes this a permanent doughnut shop on my list. I wouldve taken pictures of the doughnuts but I ate them all by the time I wrote this review!!!!!

Plain donuts are devine! The chocolate with peanut butter drizzle was really yummy. The peanut butter with chocolate drizzle was hard to get down...peanut butter was wayyyy to thick! I almost choked myself.

A boutique doughnut shop. Very good. Smaller doughnuts than a lot of these kind of places. An excellent rendition of the maple bacon.
