Customer Reviews

The best donuts in town ?? Our Kids love the glazed donuts here. The coffee ?? was perfect ?? A great ambiance with amazing staff. It?s definitely a must visit spot.

This place is absolutely amazing! We order the Fancy Mix from here for a special treat every now and again and their quality has been nothing less than spectacular every single time. Light, fluffy and delicate cake donuts, amazingly airy yeast donuts, eclairs stuffed with genuine pudding not confectioners sugar based icing, unique and whimsical creations - like Fruity Pebbles Cereal topped donuts ??. Everyone fights over the strawberries and cream filled yeast donut and we end up cutting it into pieces eve

Nestled in a cozy corner, this donut shop is a hidden gem. The donuts are freshly made, with a perfect balance of soft, fluffy texture and rich flavors. From classic glazed to creative seasonal options, every bite feels like a warm hug. Also, the staff is super friendly and quick, so you?re in and out with your sugar fix in no time!

5/5!! We had a doughnut birthday party for our kids and got all of our doughnuts from here. We ordered 5 dozen and they were a hit. Every single doughnut was eaten and everyone thought they were delicious!! 5 stars experience.

Nice variety to choose from. I really enjoyed the cake options. Will be back!

This place is kind of tucked in a corner. We went there on a Sunday morning. It wasn't crowded when we first got there, but within 30 mins a lot of traffic started coming in at once. Looks like Sunday may be one of the busier mornings... Anyway, I found the shop kind of mellow. There's lots of color everywhere and there's a large wall with pictures of customers. The owner was there and served us with a good morning when we walked in. We got a small assortment of red velvet, blueberry chocolate, sourd

The donut holes were excellent. I didn?t like the chocolate covered doughnut, however, my husband said that it was tasty. Too sweet though. The filling in the lemon donut wasn?t good and tasted very artificial, however the dough itself was superb, delicious and soft! Staff is lovely. Will go back for more.

Absolutely delicious donut shop. Amazing selection of gourmet donuts but they also have traditional glazed and simple crusted donuts for children. We enjoyed Reese's peanut butter donut, a chocolate frosted donut and a latte. The staff was so kind and sweet to my child. Prices very reasonable. Indoor and outdoor seating. Cant wait to return to try more donuts!!

This is probably the best donut place I have ever been to. Delicious and good service.

The owner is also the chef was very kind. I didn?t know he put four more mini donut balls in my order. The bacon ?? donut was surprisingly tasty. The store is not fancy but good service and donuts. Highly recommend.

And the 2nd post for Roli's Bites of the Week goes to... SWEET APPLE COFFE & DONUTS in Alpharetta, Georgia!! Let's get to it... their regular glazed donut is THE BEST glazed donut I know of ?? Their Maple Bacon is awesome but if I'm coming here, it's for their glazed donuts. Don't argue with me... just try them and you'll see ?? Check them out and let me know what you think!! In the box: Strawberries & cream, Maple bacon, chocolate glazed, reeses peanut butter cup, blueberry, glazed #Rolieats #rolisbite

I have to say, the shop itself is absolutely adorable. The moment I walked in, I was impressed by the variety of freshly made donuts. However, my experience quickly took a turn. I was the only customer in line when the staff member came to serve me. To my surprise, she grabbed a tray that was visibly dirty with food crumbs, tapped it to shake off the debris, and placed the donuts I chose directly onto the same tray. I was so taken aback that I didn?t say anything at the time, as I wanted to support a small

We went at 9:30 on a Sunday morning. This was the perfect time. They weren?t out of anything and there was no line. Staff were wearing masks, but they didn?t require customers to wear masks. We got 6 donuts. Here?s what we got, in order of my preference: - Blueberry (cake): Very good - Cinnamon Sugar Twist (yeast): Good, but I wish we?d gotten the cake donut version - Chocolate-Covered Sour Cream (cake): Good, but hard - Muscle (cake): We tried it because it?s made out of tofu and we were curious. Had we

Nice quiet yummy donut shop! It was hard to pick my donut but the lemon filled and the chocolate covered were calling me! And they were awesome!!! The lemon filled was soft and filled with a not-too-sweet lemon that was rich and very tasty. The chocolate had just the right crispness to the donut and the two chocolates combined wonderfully! I don?t travel this way enough...guess I will go this way a little more often!!

I?d never expected such a good donut store in that strip mall. I got a recommendation so I knew where to go. I bought a dozen different donuts. They looked all great and tasted even better. Particularly the donuts with the fresh strawberries were awesome. It is a bit expensive but totally justified. Certainly not the last time I go there.

The gentleman who fulfilled my order was so very kind. He spared no expense in making sure I had exactly the doughnuts I needed for my friends. He was even so kind as to include doughnut holes. This spot is always and forever on my list for best hometown eats. Very good and my friends think so too!

Since I typically avoid refined sugar, let me say that if I?m indulging it will be worth the indulgence. Sweet Apple is one of the best donut stops in Atlanta, consistently well made and always fresh. The only problem is that they sell out and often have to close early. The owner and her staff are all awesome people too!

Best Red Velvet donut I?ve ever had. Good variety of donuts! Very fresh! Will definitely visit again :) PS: They gave me two complimentary donut holes!

Cute donut shop and good donuts. I visited the website and saw prices for $12.99/dozen with sprinkles. I called in an order for 1.5 dozen. When I arrived in the morning, the total was $29.32. I showed him that the website showed a different price. He told me that price was from 5 years ago. They should honor the price they post, but I was in a hurry and just paid it. Five years is a long time to have an old price on display. If you go, know that they were not current or careful about what was on their websi

This is such a cute little donut shop! The donuts are by far the best! The texture of the donuts are delicate and are created with such care and detail. The couple that operates the business are truly humbled and kind. Eat one of these little gems and you won?t be disappointed.

This is our weekly Saturday tradition for many years - Joe and Lee are amazing people who run a fantastic donut shop. Tasty, fresh donuts and outstanding customer service. Look no further - they are the best in the area. Sourdough donuts, eclairs, pigs in a blanket are all favorites for us. Try the muscle donut or an apple fritter and look for a surprise donut hole in your bag. We love Sweet Apple!

A MUST STOP-IN! Dae Jo and his lovely wife, have served Alpharetta for several years and truly are a great contribution for the early morning community. Their day starts early, around 2 AM, in the shop, preparing amazing treats for all. I have made several visits to order the strawberry roll, for a very special person. She loves those things and she loves the people that make them! Recently we had a situation where our family fell victim to Parkinson's. A tough situation that required a stay in an assist

The owner is very nice. We got four donuts, and the owner gave us a free coffee for our first-time visit since we drove 35 minutes to get there. The strawberry donut was our favorite. It was very light, and the mix of fresh strawberries with powdered sugar set it off. The sour cream donut and peanut butter with bananas were good as well. We're coming back for the sourdough donut.

Kind staff, delicious donuts and fast service.

The best donuts I?ve ever had. The hot chocolate was great too. I recommend getting here early. The selection isn?t as plentiful when you go at 12 like I di. Great place.

Nevermind the delicious donuts. Nevermind the fantastic selection of specialities but all the traditional donuts as well. Nevermind the iced coffee that rivals Dunkins. The passion the lady has that owns the shop far exceeds most. This is so evidence by how customer service oriented, friendliness, desire to make sure you are happy with your selection, and her recommendations that are informative but never pushy. I encourage everyone to stop by and say Hi. Eating the Reeses donut while sitting in Mcginnis Fe

Absolutely love this shop! The owner is very sweet. The food and drinks are delicious. Sweet Apple is very popular. Arrive early to get the best selection.

The glazed donuts are terrible. Reminds me of Dunkin Donuts. Tastes and looks like they didn't let the donut cool and the glaze just melted right off. I called and asked about this. Person working there just laughed at me. I don't think she was being rude. I just think she doesn't understand English well enough to realize what I was saying.

I have a Caramel Macchiato that was very tasty and an eclair that was delicious! The bacon egg and cheese croissant was also very tasty. I took home a lemon donut and a cinnamon twist for family and they enjoyed their donuts too. The store was clean and very cute. The staff/owners were also very kind. It was a great experience.

I picked up 2 dozen assorted premium donuts for an office birthday.. whoa! They're amazing. Wonderful variety and we loved the unique flavors. Will definitely be back!

I had such a great experience here! The customer service is great and the food is so light and fluffy no matter which one you choose. It was very good. service was outstanding.

The donuts are amazing!! I had the square sourdough donut which had a crispy bottom and perfect sweet ( but not too sweet) glaze. Delicious! Literally, the best donut I've ever had! My husband got an apple fritter and it was also out of this world and HUGE. If you're a donut fan, you should definitely try these,no matter how far away you are. They are so worth it ??

omg. So disappointing. The donuts were all dry!!! oh gosh, I feel so bad. The lady was sweet as pie and even gave me a free donut. But sadly. They were DRY. omg. Why.

This place is the absolute pinnacle of donut shops. Everything from the drinks to donuts to breakfast sandwiches are impeccable. If you were to ask me I think the eclairs are the best donuts I?ve ever had. The people here make us feel like family. Truly one of the best.

I went for the first time yesterday! And came back today!! I loved the donuts so much and they were really good. The owner or worker is super sweet! My favorite is the fresh strawberry and cream! It?s a must go place!

I stopped in here for my first time today and it will not be my last! I can definitely see why this place is voted the best donut shop in GA. I ordered an apple fritter and a chocolate glazed donut, and the owner gave me a free glazed donut. They were literally the best donuts I've ever had. The coffee was also very good. Do yourself a favor and stop here. You can't go wrong with anything they have. Plus the owner is extremely sweet and friendly!

VERY good Apple Fritter and great coffee! Incredibly nice owner and the shop is tidy with an amazing showcase of donuts that I'm excited to come back and try regularly. Not to mention, 2 extra donut holes were placed in my bag. Also very good!

Fresh, delicious donuts. Pretty good coffee, too! These are seriously probably the best donuts I've ever had.

The owner is really nice and the doughnuts taste really good. I wish I could go more often!

After traveling all over the nation, I can confidently say these are easily in my top 5 for donuts. Small family owned donut shop, support your locals and make sure you stop here. They usually sell out by noon, make sure you're early!!

Donuts are AWESOME! You HAVE to try the apple fritter! These are the best donuts I've ever had and the owner is so very sweet! Even gave us a couple of free donuts for it being our first time there. We will definitely be back!! ??

The employees are always so nice and the older gentleman remembers my husband every time he comes in. The donuts are super fluffy and delicious as always. Especially that strawberry and cream donut. You can definitely taste that the powder sugar is homemade.

I adore Sweet Apple! My trip in is always the best part of my week. The donuts are amazing (I've made it through all of them and can't really pick a fave because they're all AMAZING) and their coffee is a thousand times better than anything you get at Starbucks. The owners are super friendly and add charm to the trip ??

Great place. Everybody here is friendly and the shop is clean and run well

Great little donut shop! Worker/owner was really nice. Great prices. Most importantly the donuts were great! Tried the pumpkin one (tis the season) and my wife tried the Reese?s one!

Service was great! Nice choices of different donuts. We bought 6 different donuts to try. We always try every donut shop's "apple fritter" because that's our number one favorite donut. We were a little disappointed in their apple fritter, a little too over cooked which made the edges dry, crispy and crunchy rather than soft and moist. The center section was more like the traditional apple fritter, however, the apple pie filling was smothered only in the center section rather than spread throughout the entir

Hands down the best donuts I've ever had! The owner is so friendly and always throws a few donut holes in with your order! Do yourself a favor and try Sweet Apples!

Favorite donuts, ever. Cheddar Maple Bacon is my guilty pleasure here, but they are all so good. The owner is such a great person as well. Always happy to see everyone, and pays special attention to kids and caters to them. My son loves going.

Amazing variety and taste of donuts. Anyone who goes to Dunkin or Crispy is missing out. The coffee is great, and there are pigs in a blanket. Amazing! And such a friendly owner and operator. She's extremely kind and helpful. I would go here everyday if I could.

Amazing "made in house" donut creations by this friendly family run establishment

I have explored a wide variety of donuts all around the greater metro-atlanta area and I have decided that Sweet Apple is my favorite donut destination! Bottom line is flavor. Many donut places have some gimmick or focus like the ?made-to-order? places, the ?decorate and flavor your own donut? places, the mini-donut places, and so-on. After the novelty of these other places wears off one comes to the realization that you might not actually love the donut itself. Flavor, texture, or toppings are bland or

went there today on a whim and the Asian dude working there is sooo nice!! the atmosphere is great too it seems like only nice people go there, the donuts are great too!!

Beautiful delicious and fresh homemade donuts. A great variety. The tofu is crunchy and my favorite. Rated number one doing a job in Georgia. If you don't get a donut here then you're missing out

Wow, wow, wow!! These are the most incredible tasting donuts I?ve had in decades! The variety of things to choose from is mind-blowing, and makes my stomach growl just thinking about them. I had the strawberry swirl, sour cream chocolate, and a couple of the cake ones! Every single one was fantastic. I suggest getting there early because they do run out early sometimes, just cause it?s so good!

We love this place. Every Saturday after piano class, my son loves to get his monster donut. Delicious and fresh donuts, clean and cute place and great customer service.

The sour cream cake donut is EPIC!!! Fried crispy on the bottom, excellent glaze. My favorite donut ever. Plus, delicious coffee and a sweet, generous family owns and operates. Shop small y'all!

After today, I won't be going anywhere else for doughnuts/coffee. The owner is incredibly kind, there is a wide variety of items to choose from, and the prices can't be beat. The strawberry & cream doughnut is easily the best doughnut I have ever had. It was our first time, and the owner gave my expecting wife a free treat with our purchase. Can't speak more highly of this place...can't wait to go back!

Always a great option for donuts. The owner is so sweet and makes everything from the heart. Very tasty and fair priced, the best sour cream & cake donuts and the piggies in a blanket help cut the sweetness too.

Their sourdough donuts are the best! The guy upfront is always really nice! We love coming here!

Good donuts, but came in at 9:30 and they were pretty much out of donuts. They only had one person behind the counter so each coffee order halted the whole line for a few minutes for the person to make it. I waited in line for 30 min to have 2 choices of donuts. ??

It was our first time, tried blue berry and red velvet donuts. Best donuts in the area, reviews are purely for the taste. Go early if you want to try full variety.

What a wonderful experience every time we go to Sweet Apple! Everything is made from scratch daily! Once you eat these delicious donuts you will never go back to others. Our grand-daughter just shakes with excitement when she walks in the door....SO many choices! Nothing like them anywhere else...one bite and you are spoiled for life! Guaranteed! Thank you Ms Jen for all the hard work you do to put smiles on many faces!

These doughnuts are the bomb! Fresh and always delicious. The folks who work there are very personable and friendly! I?m actually heading there right now!?? See you soon!

Been coming to this donut place for over 10 years. Still the best donut in all of Alpharetta.

Cute little shop, donuts were delicious and super fresh, loved the reese?s one. The coffee was amazing as well. The two people working were super sweet.

The sourdough donuts are amazing! Really the size of two donuts, but who minds that? Not overly sweet, but great flavor. Really like the red velvet as well

Don't usually come this way to work but an appointment in the area brought me by Sweet Apple Donuts....WOW - I guess I will be changing my commute path. Fresh, delicious donuts and the coffee is great too! Wonderful service with a delightful smile. I will be back!

The owner is so friendly and the donuts are a mix of traditional and creative. Every one I've tried has been soooo good! I always have a great experience here.

First time coming here. We loved the chocolate frosted- peanut butter and banana heart filled doughnut. We also liked the powdered sugar doughnut filled with fresh strawberries. The apple fritter was kind of crunchy so we didn?t like that one as much as we hoped (maybe a one time thing). Our son loved the chocolate sprinkled regular doughnut. We will absolutely be back because of the tasty doughnuts, friendly service, and extra doughnut holes!

FANTASTIC local place. The owner is a sweetheart and provides excellent service with a smile. An amazing selection of donuts that taste great! The caramel macchiato is very good.

Arrived later in day and selection was obviously picked over but I'm a purist. Regular donut and maybe a chocolate. These were great!! Nice crisp exterior and soft inside. Not greasy at all. Will definitely be back. And try muscle cake.... Just sayin

Owner is super friendly and sweet. Love the donut selection! The sourdough donut is my favorite.

I have been coming to Sweet Apple for over 2 years. i can't say enough good things about this place. The best donuts and they are the nicest people as well. Great to see them being rewarded!

Wonderful fresh hand-made doughnuts. The apple fritters are great, with enough apple topping to satisfy. The fresh strawberry or fresh banana are my favorites though, sliced fruit and thick whipped cream inside a bar doughnut coated in powdered sugar. They're the best doughnuts. Period

This place is a cut above. Sure, they do the fancy filled and frosted doughnuts magnificently, but the true, real test of a good doughnut shop is how brilliant the "plain", less "flashy" doughnuts taste. And that is where this place comes through in spades. The sourdough donut is pretty much how yeast doughnuts are supposed to taste. Toasty, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sweet but not overly so. *kisses fingertips

Creative and quite tasty donuts. Kolache too. Went in for the first time this morning and bought for the office. called ahead and they were ready when I got there. The donuts were a big hit. will be back.

Donuts are amazing! This is the best donut shop I've been to!! The employees are very friendly! Nice atmosphere! ??

Took our daughter here for her first donut. The owner gave her extra and made the experience extra special! This place will definitely be added to our rotation of places to eat. The food was delicious....

I don't give most places a 5 but this place deserves it. The donuts are out of this world and the owner is great. Always smiling and has a great spirit. I would go out of my way to shop at this local shop.....

Very friendly staff that goes out of their way to give you a great experience! Donuts are best we've had! I highly recommend Sweet Apple, you will not be disappointed

I live in Arizona and often visit Georgia for work. I always make it a point to drive out of my way for Sweet apple donuts.... I promise you won't be disappointed. The service is top notch.

Love this place!! The donuts are always so fresh and delicious. The owners are so nice and go above and beyond to provide great service.

Donuts were fresh and tasty. Caramel Macchiato was also good. Good selection of donuts and drinks. Small shop with dining in. Uplifting music. Will visit again.

Amazing donuts! The strawberry cream and sourdough are to die for. Owners are super nice, as well. Highly highly recommend!

Most amazing donuts I?ve ever had! #1 donut spot in Georgia for a reason!

Love their fresh strawberries and cream donut! Also great customer service always so nice. Love going here for my donuts.

Delicious, must stop in! The espresso is on point.

Amazing donuts! The fresh strawberry is the best donut I have ever had! Highly recommend this place!!
