The Hole Thing Donuts

Reviews Summary

The consensus is overwhelmingly positive, with most reviewers praising the donuts' freshness, quality, and creative flavors (e.g., Soppapilla Cheesecake, Banana Pudding). Many highlight the friendly staff, kid-friendly options (like free stickers and themed designs), and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Some note the shop’s diversity in both offerings and staff. A few criticisms mention high prices, occasional shortages of popular items, or rare quality issues (e.g., a hair found once). Despite these minor complaints, the majority consider it the best donut shop in Forney, with many driving far distances to visit. The unique flavors and excellent customer service stand out as key strengths.

Customer Reviews

We always passed by this shop and never stopped. Now we regret that decision because we were missing out big time. The donuts are not just completely adorable and fun looking. They taste divine! Staff was very friendly and very patient with us as we had a hard time deciding which ones to try first. We will definitely be returning to try more flavors. New guilty pleasure unlocked for sure!

The food was alright, I did a pick up order instead of going in there thinking the donuts would look like the pictures. I got the crossant donut; see photos below. Prob won?t be here again, the strawberry sprinkled donut tasted like it was still doughy.

I drove 30 minutes for donuts for my daughter?s class arrived at 11am and they are closed! But online it shows open and the sign out front says open until noon. You will loose new customers this way!

I was able to resolve my issue by speaking with the manager/owner, who was very understanding, listened to me, and was prompt in finding a solution that made us both happy. Thank you, Mia.** I made an order for two boxes of donuts via the Too Good To Go app that was picked up by my sister on February 15th. The donuts had cute designs and tasted great, but there don't seem to be any quality checks done. My niece found an extremely long brown hair on her donut. My sister called the store for me the followi

When I lived in Dallas there were a few specialty donut shops that made Cronuts. This place absolutely has the best Cronuts I?ve ever had. Mia and her staff are amazing and very accommodating when it comes to ordering special requests. You have to try this place!!

Really disappointed with the birthday donuts I ordered. I asked for pink and purple with sprinkles. The ?purple? color looks like a grayish purple color. The pink isn?t bright, but maybe I should?ve specified that. Still, this looks like a melted gross mess. Even my daughter said they looked not good. I spent $40 for it to look like someone slapped on some runny icing. The ?flower? on the A looks like a campfire per my husband.

Have always had a pleasant experience here. The staff is kind, and the donuts are creative and yummy! Our favorites are the croissant and the Nutella! I recently ordered for my son's birthday and it came out so cute! They even threw in some extra donuts, which was extremely kind and unexpected. Highly recommend!

This place is a gem. The glaze donuts melt in your mouth. The specialty donuts are made with care and are fun surprises for anyone. Highly recommend.

I ordered happy birthday donuts for my daughters birthday and causally mentioned she was having a Drake themed party. Let me tell you I was blown away when I saw the Drake themed donuts! The detail and expertise they put into decorating them is outstanding! I highly recommend the hole thing! They will take care of you! :)

First time trying out the donuts. I recommend arriving early so there are more choices. I really enjoyed the regular chocolate glaze. The dough was nice and soft. We also tried some of the specialty donuts. The wafer on the Vanilla Wafer donut was a tad stale. The maple bacon was good. Apple fritter was lacking in apple. Overall some fun flavors to choose from that you won't find at a traditional donut shop. We'll be back to try the other offerings.

UPDATE! Mia contacted me right away. I appreciate the immediate response. Mia apologized and offered a gift card and asked that I give them another opportunity. I placed an order for a special box of their decorated Christmas donuts. My family was very happy. The donuts were fresh and very cute. I am happy that we tried again. Thank you Mia. Very disappointing to get day-old cold donuts at 6:00 am. Early morning donut run for my daughters to start elf on the shelf. I order a dozen donut holes, a box of as

My kids enjoy doughnuts in this store, have good variety of character ones for the little ones. There?s a particular lady there that when we go there she always greets us with a smile. It?s refreshing to see business workers/owners still practice great customer service! And the doughnuts.. WOW! They are HUGE!! A dozen won?t fit in a single box. Visited other 3 stores in Forney and I think we found our favorite one.

This place is soooo good!! I come here at least once a week with my daughter. Yushi usually helps us and she is so sweet, especially with my 5 yo daughter. There are a lot of donuts shows around the area but if you want bigger, fresher and tastier donuts, don't bother with anywhere else! Oh and please do yourself a favor and try the croissant donut!!

I went there on Father's day Sunday and they only had four doughnuts left. Second time I've been there and had same issue.

This donut shop has gone downhill, bad, without brakes! The donuts are expensive and not very good. The chocolate topping that they use never fully sets up or forms a 'shell' and it gets all over every thing it comes in contact with. Its similar to the consistency of a peanutbutter, but its chocolate in flavor. While they have fancy donuts like "Cr?me br?l?e" and "Sopapilla Cheesecake", they are expensive and not great at all. When I stop there, if I stop there, the only things I get now are the larg

paid $40 for a dozen kolaches and two drinks never in my life has a dozen kolaches been $35 this makes me think the cashier that was working today on 4/12 gave herself a massive tip when there was little selection and my kolaches were cold after i asked for them heated up whoever was working the counter skipped through my tip option at the register not giving me any option whatsoever

Called and ordered a packer themed birthday donuts and they came out way better than o expected . My son was super excited and the detail on these donuts are amazing !!!!!!!! Will be ordering from here way more often !!!!!! Lakers theme in 2 weeks !!!

10/10 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! ???????????? The ladies inside have great customer service and very good suggestions which means there very knowledgeable on there products ??????? I will for sure be coming back to earn more points . Once you get to 100 that?s $5 off ?????.

Definitely going back to get Donuts, Big variety of them !!! Great thing me and my Wife stopped and tried them, not going anywhere else

The quality of the donuts are amazing! They?re made fresh daily and the selection and variety is great as well. The donuts are so soft and fluffy! The customer service is top notch as well. Check out The Hole Thing and make it your donut shop in Forney ????????????

I am extremely picky about my donuts, it is all about the ingredients. I have had so many freshly made donuts from varieties of places, but you can taste the subpar ingredients. This is the 3rd donut shop I have tried in Forney since my family and I moved here and im not sure i will try any other place. Their donuts are 10 out of 10. You can just taste the quality melt in your mouth ingredients and their gourmet donuts are amazing. They are light and the flavors are spot on. I had the sopapilla and strawber

The donuts were not cooked all the way they taste just like Doug and wasn't even glazed .the chocolate donuts taste horrible.

I absolutely love their flavors! Banana pudding creme donuts are my favorite :) I drive all the way from downtown Dallas to get these? that?s how good they are! The staff is so sweet & the donuts are amazing. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you to Mary for doing a PERFECT job on these DC superhero girls birthday donuts for my daughter ???? they are amazing and she loved them! They?re almost too pretty to eat haha but too yummy not to!

OMG, I don't eat donuts much! But when I do I'm definitely coming back here. Great variety, they have some funny made donuts too! I believe I saw a Cookie monster donut ??

This donut place is such a surprise in the humble city of Forney in Texas. They've got a lot of flavors (and designs) to choose from but I particularly liked Red Velvet with Cream Cheese, Somoa and Salted Caramel Apple. They are soft and moist and you can tell they were made fresh for that day. There are other amusing and interesting flavors such as the THT with Jalapenos. It's like a donut sandwich with egg, bacon and jalapeno. That alone can stuff two stomachs! Besides the wide variety of donuts, they of

Only reason 3 stars was the lack of selection. Not because how many to choose from but what's left so early. We showed up before 8 and was already down to nothing. I don't know maybe that many people show up or they not making enough????? UPDATE 7/17/22 ...came back in around same time 8:30am so was told and also have a sign that claims to ask and they'll make you a donut. I asked and was told their out so one of two things the owner not aware or their lying about getting a donut made. I can't see that any

Donuts we okay. I really liked the maple bacon. These Mississippi Mid pie is more like a dessert and the chocolate donut holes more like cake balls. Everything was tasty. Kolaches are a bit dry and the sausage tastes old. Wasn?t a fan.

Our go to place for birthday donuts for our kiddos. This year my son wanted pokemon theme and they did awesome!!!

I made a visit after hearing from a friend on how delicious their donuts were and they were not kidding around! We really enjoyed the freshness and savory taste of their donuts, the team here truly seems talented in their bakery skills! Not only that, but the moment I walked in, I give the overall cleanliness and the staff an A+. Don't forget to try their pastries and the good old fashioned glazed donuts! I can tell the owner(s) here really invested in the customer satisfaction and experience. Thank you f

Delicious donuts, amazing service 10/10

Not good at all? donut was super hard. Pig in the blankets burnt and gross. Tossed to the trash. Over priced and bad quality.

I ordered the "Happy birthday" donuts and they were so cute! I only had to ordered a day to two days before. Then the donuts were fantastic, the bread was soft and it was the perfect amount of sweetness!

I called the day before and asked for 100 glazed donut holes with a 100 in the middle for the 100th day of school. It turned out perfect! She said she counted twice to make sure it was right. Thanks so much, Mary!

Kind staff delicious donuts been going here the last 4 years and never had a bad service here

They did an awesome job on my custom donut order. They looked amazing and tasted great and fresh. Will definitely recommend to others!

These donuts are awesome. They?re always fresh. They?re very friendly to kids and have free stickers for them. They have a lovely coffee station and the donuts are aesthetically pleasing.

The donuts are absolutely delicious my kids loved it! The entire staff was friendly and helpful and Gracie was very playful with the kids 10/10 a must stop on the way into Dallas!

Tried them yesterday for the first time. Donuts were absolutely DELICIOUS. Customer service was GREAT. When I arrived, the signature donuts were not ready, but she asked for me to return to try them. And I did. And I was NOT disappointed. Found another great donut spot right here in my backyard.

I love this donut shop, they never disappoint! Such a wide variety of delicious donuts. The workers make you feel welcome as soon as you step in, Lindsey is always so helpful and goes out of her way helping my grand-kiddos when deciding on which donuts to get, just so many to choose from. Thank you Lindsey you Rock !!!

They have a lot of options as far as donuts, they appeared clean, customer service was good, prices average, taste,,,, typical, not as moist as I would like my donuts.

Gracie was wonderful! Great customer service every time!!!

the donuts were exactly what my mom asked for and they were so cute 100% would recommend ordering donuts from them they?re also so nice!

Best donuts in Forney! My kids are obsessed and every time my in-laws visit they always go and get the apple fritters.

How cute are these!!!!! I was super last minute and they delivered much more than I expected! I?m so pleased with this purchase and this definitely will turn this into a birthday tradition!

Amazing soft delicious donuts! I love the variety they have, especially the fun character donuts (cookie monster is my favorite). I'm always greeted by smiling workers and the owner is the sweetest! My go to donut place in Forney!

Delicious! Their donuts always taste fresh, never stale! I have ordered here several times the past few months and am never disappointed! Thank you especially to Jacky, Nicole, and Karen for their awesome customer service!

Super friendly staff & delicious donuts!

Loved the donuts!! Will definitely be back!! My son LOVED the Elmo donut :)

I've enjoyed their donuts for years since the original owner but unfortunately they've gone downhill in the past 6 months. I've tried to keep supporting small business but the last 3 times I've been have all been bad experiences. Today after waiting 20 minutes and seeing only 1 customer get their order, I had to leave. I arrived very early to get donuts before my household woke to surprise my family for Valentines Day, but they only had 2 people working and they were trying to make as they go. More people w

Friendly. The Stiky Ribz brisket inside the Brisket balls are tremendous. Job well done. Money well spent??????

I came in this morning for the first time welcomed with this beautiful smile by lindsey. OMG when i tell you these donuts were so pretty & delicious they were! I will definitely be coming back & hoping she?s there next time??

Great donuts, but overpriced. They run out quickly too, could do a better job anticipating sales. Went in at 830 on a Saturday and they were already out of popular items. Update: 3 months later still not making enough donuts and items to accommodate customers at 9 am. So frustrating!

Best donut shop in area. Great food. However, best part for me is the service. All staff are welcoming and pleasant. Always willing to go the extra mile

I come down to Forney a few times per year to visit family, and this place is a STAPLE of every trip! Fantastic kolaches and donuts, and probably the best apple fritters I've ever had (and I'm a bit of an apple fritter connoisseur)!

Nice atmosphere as soon as you are greeted at the door. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Donuts are always good and you can find just about anything you're looking for. They always have me coming back for more

Watch it swiping your card at this place! I was literally just reaching and the machine processed my payment! I was trying to put my phone number in and accidentally hit 30 percent tip. My card was folded up in my hand! I did not swipe! The cashier seemed to think it was funny because she was giggling when she said she couldn't refund. I'll just go to the one downtown forney from now on! Their donuts are so much better!!! They just lost a 3 year customer!

Absolutely adore this place! They have creative creations made and sold by a wholesome family business. The food is made fresh daily, and is fluffy to the touch. Makes you want more with every bite! Especially their specialty donuts, cooked with love in every bite!! Must try if you haven't, you won't regret it!

Gracie and Mia were very helpful and were were very nice as soon as we walked in! I called ahead and they were able to set aside everything I needed! I definitely recommend calling in if you know what you are needing!

I will never order from here again. I ordered my family a dozen small kolaches and 4 big ones and they where all improperly cooked the breading was still gummy and the sausage's inside where over cooked only good thing out of my order was the bottled chocolate milk and my daughters Minnie mouse donut. $40 for a door dash order almost an hour wait and none of my kids wants to eat them as well as me and my husband so I pretty much just bought kolaches for my dog

This is the best donut shop around. I have tried all the donut shops in Forney and hands down this is the best. We go every Saturday morning and we are never disappointed. The staff is so friendly!

High marks for donut creativity! Several fun selections. But, it's not the place to go for large donut orders. Rarely have a lot of anything. I've seen a couple of times someone ask for a dozen basic glazed donuts and they don't have them and don't offer any on the way (at 9am). Better suited for the more boutique donut small order. What drags the Hole Thing experience down is the customer experience. I get the feeling that they're annoyed that people are there. I'm not talking about tough orders where pp

We have ordered from here before...... On this day I needed six dozen donuts first thing in the morning and they were so nice to accommodate me!

My grandson?s day was made! He loved the Minion donut and the kolache. He said he is getting the Mario one next time. I got the lemon poppyseed donut and it was delicious. Good prices too!

Great taste! Good service. I bought 1 dozen sausage rolls, I dozen mixed donuts and a Monster energy drink. The bill was $47. Their product is good, but it ain?t gold plated. I won?t be back. If they?re going to gouge you like that, they should, at least, wear a mask and point a gun at you.

UPDATE 9 MONTHS LATER: I'm not sure what happened, but the donuts have improved substantially since my behavior review. We went elsewhere for a while but had to try this place again due to the location and we're pleasantly surprised. Something tells me that the quality isn't quite as good as they previously were (Rockwall location is there, at least closer) but it is back to being my favorite place to go. OLD REVIEW: The reviews that say the quality has gone down are right. I was told there was a new baker

AMAZING! Blueberry cheesecake. I never been 2 this place before, I will definitely b back.

We had a great experience here today! We arrived late morning and they were out of donut holes. I asked if they could cut a couple glazed donuts for me, and they did so cheerfully! This was great for me and the toddlers!

Sawyer made my experience at The Hole Thing amazing! I had never been to the store before, but he assisted me every step of the way through! The donuts and customer service were superb!

Overpriced donuts. Bad service. Rude employees. They don't anticipate sales and run out of items quickly. I've gone 3 times for who knows what reason and it's always the same game.

A good place if you are a Donut lover. Employees are super nice. I was my first time there so I ordered some different ones like; Red Velvet, Blueberry, Old fashioned, ...they were all fresh and delicious. Added to my favorite places.

To say great service is an understatement,they are amazing! I messaged them on facebook at 2:30 on a Saturday when they were closed already. They answered me within seconds and gave me a call to take a special order for early Sunday morning. They did galaxy Happy Birthday colored donuts for my daughters birthday. She was so excited. I am very thankful,they went above and beyond!

My mom and I were on the hunt for good donuts this morning and we happened to pull up this place on Google maps, read the reviews and saw the photos and decided we had to go. My dad will only eat apple fritters so we called to make sure they still had some, and Jackie answered and said there were still some left, score! We got there and were surprised by the delicious smells and unique flavor boards, we admit we got a bit carried away (we haven't found a good donut shop since moving here). Two boxes of donu

Rude!! Just left and customer service skills need help. Girl walks away from counter and plays with donuts, so I stand waiting for her to return. No greeting, just says ?are you going to order or what?? Proceeds to get my order, tell me price. After I give my $, walks off again to another register. Comes back, throws my change in my hand without a word then walks back off. They were interviewing a new applicant, told her I hope her customer service skills are much better than I experienced

I went this morning for the first time and OMG! It was amazing and Lindsey was so sweet! The donuts are super cute and scrumptious! Will definitely be going back ??

Very friendly staff and great donuts. Highly appreciated and desired by the kiddos!

This spot is hands down the best donut and pastry shop I've been to in the area. Staff is super friendly and their selection is pure art. So creative!

Best donuts I've found so far! They have super cute decorated donuts that kids will love (and, lets be honest, the adults will love them too), as well as basically gourmet things like cake donuts, fritters, cinnamon rolls, and old-fashioneds (my favorite!). Definitely check them out!

Amazing customer service and delicious donuts!!

We bring the "hole" family here periodically and the kids love this place. The donuts are good, they have a nice drink selection, and a small eating area where we can enjoy our treats. There's a lot of donut places in the area, but this is our primary place to visit.

Love the donuts and customer service is incredible. However if the family running the show in the mornings decides to move on I will be going to a different place. Price price price. Donut holes are way too expensive. Sounds like the owners are a little too greedy.

These were some of the best donuts I have ever had. Also, all of the employees showed great hospitality. Over all, this is an amazing donut shop that I would reccomend to anyone.

After a while, you get tired of the same ole same ole. Then once in a while you get a surprise that just blows you away. This is one of those instances. I?m just moving to Forney and drove around looking for a decent donut shop, that the kids will also enjoy, when I stumbled upon this one. First thing I noticed was how diverse it was and how the ?display? donuts catch your eyes by being just as diverse as the staff. I?m so glad someone decided to incorporate new ideas instead of the same thing you see in al

Best Donuts in the World! I would consider myself a donut connoisseur and The Hole Thing has the best donuts I have ever ate! They have a wide range of donuts from specialties such as the Soppapilla Cheesecake (The best seller and for good reason) to your classic glazed and old fashions. They have different kinds of kolaches and they all taste wonderful. The staff is very friendly and give you that warm mom and pop feeling. All in all, this place is The Hole Thing! I love donuts and donuts love me too!

Overpriced donuts that you will keep going back for. That is the truth. They have really unique donuts (cheese cake filled, banana cream pie, etc) and definitely are better than your average shop, especially if you don't just like sugar dunked bread.You will walk out with sticker shock ($3.25 each) and return a few weeks later because it is something different. You only need one donut to fill you up, thankfully.

Best donuts in town ! ?? Staff was super welcoming and nice. Definitely recommend.

Delicious donuts, cute designs for kids, lots of unique flavors

The cheese kolaches were delicious as well as the donut holes. The brisket balls tasted like they had a bit of a chemical taste to them so we didn't even eat those. Overall they were a bit on the overpriced side. I wish they would have suggested ways to make our order less pricey.
