Reviews of Hole Doughnuts
Max B
The 4.9 rating is 100% accurate. Some of the best donuts I’ve ever had. Recommend placing your order 10 minutes or so before arriving if coming on the weekends. Don’t skimp and try every type of donut they have. Made hot and fresh for every order.
Katie Kopsick
Super fresh, fried to order! It’s take out only which we didn’t know, but you order online and the donuts were out lightning fast. Great, friendly service and the donuts are out of this world. They’re light and airy, not the sugar laden gut bombs that are so prevalent these days. I wish we lived closer! These top the list of my favorite donuts ever!
Taylor Allison
Dang good donuts! Made hot and fresh, they melt in your mouth. Ordering online using their QR code was quick and simple and we enjoyed sitting at one of 3 tables inside. We loved all 3 flavors, the fresh squeezed OJ, and the local coffee. The lady running the shop was extremely friendly and hospitable, making sure everyone got their order quickly and had a top-notch experience. If I lived closer, this would be a weekly indulgence but we’ll enjoy passing through on future trips to Knoxville. Can’t recommend any more highly!
Tyler Cook
One of the best donuts I’ve ever had. A little weird not going in and ordering. Had to scan a code and order outside and they brought them to you when done. Probably could’ve used someone outside during peak time to give a more warm welcome and understanding of the process. We stood there for a minute and caught on. With all that said still a fantastic donut and coffee. Will return when in town.
Hannah Douglass
Really yummy classic doughnuts! I didn't get a picture of them because they were hot and fresh, too good to wait! There weren't a lot of options with the doughnut flavors but personally I prefer the more basic ones anyway. The cinnamon sugar was my favorite! It had an amazing hint of salt that took it to the next level. Definitely worth a visit!
Rebekah Dale
The BEST donuts I've ever had! Hard to pick a favorite since they are all so good, but the sesame cinnamon has a surprising lead, in my opinion. The staff are also friendly and make the donuts fresh to order. Highly recommend if you are in Asheville!
Swetha Sundarraj
This is one place that lives up to the reviews. Every single blog about Asheville recommends this place and it deserves that and much more!
Hands down THE MOST FLUFFY, FRESH, WARM Donuts I have ever had!
The owner was extremely fun and energetic. Typically, you would place an order online and come there for pick-up. Being outsiders, we didn’t know about that and tried walking right-in. And she was extremely sweet and interested in knowing more about us and took our orders.
We were asked to wait outside. They have a lot of parking and seating area for waiting. And during that 5-10min wait, we saw so many locals picking up dozens of doughnuts. She addressed each and everyone by the name!
Needless to say, I finished my donut in a minute. I cannot go back to liking any other donut anymore knowing that the other side of the coast, someone is making delicious donuts such as these! 😭😭😭
Make sure you try the vanilla glazed but all their flavors were nice!
Susan V
If you are in the area must try Hole Doughnuts! Had the cinnamon sugar and vanilla glazed both were amazing. Also had just regular black coffee and it was great! The service we received was the best ever...... above and beyond experience. Perfect ending to our N.C. trip!
Forestbrooke Bakery
I went to a local Indian joint on vacation with my kids and the owner approached us and invited us to get some free and the kids were so excited. The owner was so energetic and kind! My sister-in-law’s name is Lauren and hers is too so she was excited, so kind! And the donuts were so good! Fresh and hot and amazing.
Delia K
am a returning customer- drove 4 hours to Asheville to eat these donuts. was afraid they would not be open due to the winter storm/holiday season, but they delivered!! these donuts are crispy yet soft, light, airy on the inside. while the shapes are not like your typical donuts, they are worth the travel and wait (since they are made fresh for every order) 😋can’t wait for the day that I’ll get to eat them again
Rob M
One of the best glazed doughnuts I’ve had. I always use a glazed doughnut as my standard of measurement for a doughnut shop and this place hits the spot. Made to order so they are still warm, but these have a crispy outside with a soft and chewy inside that is unique and delicious.
Christian Giese
Love this place. The variety is limited each day but that's also the key to ensure super good quality and delicious doughnuts. You go there and order online and they will serve you outside if the weather is nice.
Even better then the doughnuts is the customer service! Super entertaining and the lady remembers the name of every customer and ensures that everything is good.
So a place for great doughnuts and clearly a great experience where you walk off with a smile.
Michael Watson
Heard these were the best doughnuts around. They were good, and unique, but not the best I’ve ever had, as much as I liked them. Placing an order via an app was a bit ludicrous when standing outside the door, though the lady bringing them out was lovely and welcoming. Just seems weird and self-indulgent to not allow you to even speak to anyone inside. Ordered a single special doughnut via this app - but didn’t get it. The downfall of such a system! Overall, decent, but I wouldn’t drive out of my way again to get there.
Marti's at Midday
Quick trip to Asheville for the weekend and stopped by this buzzing local shop for some incredible treats. BEST donuts ever!!! Arrived and placed order via QR code. They make your donuts hot & fresh. Whoever was working 10/29 and bringing donuts out is a bright light that the world needs more of! They were very busy and she couldn’t have been happier, kind and attentive. Without a doubt, we’ll be coming back here every time we’re in Asheville - might even make a stop back by tomorrow on our way home!
Sara Tinsley
The best donut you'll ever have. We stop here every time we're in Asheville, even if it's just passing through. The sesame almond vanilla cinnamon one -- so good. They make them fresh and hot to order.
Erin S.
OH WOW. We went at 12:00 pm on a Saturday, July 3, 2021. There were people waiting, but it didn’t take long once we placed our order. We ordered online and it was ready in like 10 minutes. A baker’s half dozen (7 donuts) is $15 and a baker’s dozen (13 donuts) is $30, so the baker’s half dozen is a better deal.
They have 4 flavors: Vanilla Glaze, Cinnamon Sugar, Toasted Almond Sesame Cinnamon, and Maple Bourbon Glaze. I believe the last one rotates, but the first three are always on the menu. The donuts are made to order, so you never have to worry about them running out of a certain kind! I tried all 4 flavors and they were AMAZING. I can’t even rank them, they’re all just so good. Treat yourself and get some donuts from HOLE!
Brit Nicole
Go ahead and get yourself a dozen of these bad boys because WOW. They are delicious!! The size is very generous per donut. (The hibiscus mojito tea was nice, too!)
The place is super cute and the staff was SO friendly!
Due to Covid (I’m assuming) the inside is closed and you have to order online but they were so kind and accommodating & actually thanking people for waiting.
We will definitely be back when we’re in town again and will for sure recommend this place to friends!
Vespa Geek
1st time here. Learned about it from watching YouTube of all places. Tried a couple of doughnuts and their coffee. The smell was incredible. Then I ate one. The doughnut was soft and fluffy on top and the bottom was very chewy. Was the batter off or is this the way they make them. Tried a different flavor and same thing. This was not a doughnut.
Oh, and you have to order online and pick up at one of the doors. It’s cold outside.
Tim Hart
So...made to order doughnuts was a new concept to this Montana boy. So there was a line and everyone just looking at each other. Turns out you order online...and then this lady comes out that was just so delightful! I didn't get her name but she's pictured. They serve the donuts in pizza boxes still warm and amazing! She works the crowd like a maestro. Think I would come back just for her pleasant voice and kind demeanor. And the donuts are unexplainable scrumptious. This is a must do for a most amazing carb and sugar load.
K P
Sometimes I'm just blown away with what a place can do with simple ingredients, Hole is one of those places. Put it on your must visit list when you are in Asheville! The Coffee & Cardamom doughnut was awesome (weekly special) & I think the Toasted Almond Sesame Cinnamon doughnut was even better!
You have to order online, but definitely spend some time watching the process, especially if you are lucky enough to score a seat at the bar.
Natalie Kaufman
Delicious! Haven’t quite had a donut like it. Sweet yet savory, crisp yet soft. And the people who work there are just the kindest. You must stop by and see for yourself.
Louis Reinstein
Wow! Easy to order online for pick up to go. They were ready right on time. Picked them up hot. They were gone before we arrived home. Worth the stop. Delicious. 🤤 …
Sarah Quigley
Best doughnuts!
I don't love doughnuts, and find most to be disappointing, generally overly sweet and heavy.... but if all doughnuts were these doughnuts I would be converted into a doughnut fiend... These doughnuts are amazing! Light airy texture, just sweet enough, and made to order. Absolutely worth going out of your way to try them .
Mara J
Easily the best donuts I’ve ever had. Crispy outside, yeasty inside, with delicious toppings. Served hot and fresh to top it all off!
Kim N
We put in an online order for a baker's half of assorted flavors. They were delicious. We ordered 2 hours before they opened for an 815 pick up and they were ready when we arrived. Great service, location, and reasonably priced food. We will definitely be back.
Grant Langbauer
Excellent donuts 🍩! Order in advance for outside pick-up. The donut tasted crispy, a lil sweet and buttery. Would highly recommend! Small parking lot [10 cars] so just a heads-up. ☆☆☆☆☆ …
Swain Spearman
Sweet, but also somehow savory, the perfect amount of crunch as you may want in fried bread. Think funnel cake but perfectly doughy like the best doughnut you’ve ever had. We LOVED this place. Raved about it all day long! Best doughnut I think I’ve ever had and would 100% recommend and definitely would go back. They are still order ahead/wait outside only but on a Thursday late morning, we didn’t wait long. The doughnuts were hot, made to order and cooked to perfection. I can’t recommend this place enough! My only wish was we had gotten a half dozen so we could have them in a box instead of stacked in a bag. It doesn’t change my review at all, just an afterthought.
Lauren S.
The food (a.k.a. donuts) is always delicious here. I always get the toasted almond sesame cinnamon donuts and the coffee. Both are always delicious, despite waiting in either a line or outside, like I did today.
Elizabeth Hadden
Seriously delicious donuts! Made fresh to order and very quickly. A must do if you’re in the area, these donuts are incredible.
Ben Lee
Went by Hole Doughnuts this morning and, man, well worth the drive from Black Mountain. Outstanding doughnuts and the people working there are amazing. Can’t wait to go back.
Hanjong Yoo
Didn’t know I could find the best donut in my life here in Asheville. Highly recommended and I would love to come visit again next time.
Alisha Newton-Rudhru
We come here for donuts of course, and sometimes just for coffee! It’s a truly stand-out spot. For donuts I recommend ordering online before you arrive.
They said they have gluten-free donuts sometimes and we are looking forward to trying those too.
Shane Chase
I am not a fan of doughnuts, I actually actively avoid them. However, these doughnuts are a different thing and are so spectacular that I do not want to stop eating them. Best. Doughnuts. Ever. Sorry Duck, Britt's, and everyone else. These are the doughnuts to make you love doughnuts.
James Tunnissen
Wow! I’ve had some donuts in my lifetime from all over the world, but these are hands down the best donuts I’ve ever had. I’m a texture guy, so the crisp, light crunch but soft airy and doughy inside is the perfect balance! Unbelievable flavors coming out of the shop! Toasted Almond Sesame Cinnamon is reminiscent of a Chinese Sesame Ball but a DONUT! Soooo good, I love Mochi donuts but I’d take these over them any day! Thank you for what you do Laurie!!!
Joseph Raczynski
One of the best all around doughnuts I've ever had. Each of the four they offered this day were excellent, with an edge for the cinnamon and vanilla. Outstanding crunch, not dense, buttery, goodness.
Grace Landaw
The lightest and freshest donuts I've ever had. The donuts are made to order and are served piping hot (think zeppoles from a carnival hot). The outside was crisp, but the inside was fluffy and full of air pockets. I recommend eating them immediately!
Restaurant only serves 4 flavors daily with one being a special. The chocolate milk came out cold and refreshing inside a to go cup. It pairs really well with the donuts.
Currently, you are expected to place your order online and pickup in their parking lot. Expect a slight wait, but it is well worth it! Hostess was incredibly cheery and kind.
Caleb Green
The best doughnuts I’ve ever had and that’s no joke. Light fluffy and warm when served. Atmosphere is fantastic and extremely nice. Don’t be surprised if they busy, they probably will be for good reason.
Brandon Karow
Coffee was really good! Doughnuts were very unique and croissant-like. I had one with a Chinese spice that was very weird but good! Would go again if in the area.
Aidan Sullivan
Please ignore any low reviews, this place is a local gem. It seems the majority of sour people have a problem with the “curbside pickup” protocol.
Their sour dough donuts are literally the best I’ve had, and are made fresh and crispy to order. This means that you should order via google ahead of time so by the time you show up your donuts are ready to be carried out by the most vibrant, positive lady in west Asheville. If she annoys you rather than brightening your day, there is something wrong with you.
10/10 recommend to everyone. Those who’ve rated low are probably snobby tourists.
Steph Rice
Maybe the best donut I've ever had! I can't explain how crunchy soft and light this donut was. They only had 3 flavors which I think is great. Do a few things and do them right. You have to order online due to covid then pick them up. The parking is a little limited when they're busy but great customer service and great donuts.
Gina
There are no donuts in this world that I've ever had like this place. So much so, they were voted by Bon Appétit mag as the best donuts of 2016!
Couple things to be aware of:
1. Parking is very limited and the wait can b long. It's better to put in an order online and pick it up.
2. They are only open until 1:00 pm most days. Closed Mon-Tues.
Laurie is THE best. You will be welcomed by the warmest greeting. You can tell she loves people, loves what she does, and it shows in their product.
Gabe O'Leary
We got one of each of the flavors and they were all amazing! Perhaps the best donuts I've ever had. We don't live around here, but will tell anyone we know that's visiting they must stop by.
Olivia Haney
So good!!! Served hot and fresh! Toasted almond sesame cinnamon was my favorite. Perfect crunch and sweetness level. 10/10 recommend!
Dee Y
I came in December while visiting for New Year’s and I knew the first place I would go upon arriving to Asheville was this place. The donuts are some of the best I ever had, whoever complained below is nuts. The lady that brings the donuts out is always so happy and nice, it makes the visit even more enjoyable. The only complaint I have is that I don’t leave in Asheville and I can’t have them as often as I would like.
Sunesis “Sunesis” Sam
This place has delicious donuts! We got the Baker's 1/2 Dozen which gets you 7 Donuts. We tried all 4 flavors and they were all awesome. My favorite was the toasted almond. Make sure to sign up for their rewards while your there to start earning free donuts.
Kenny Kimball II
These are by far the best donuts we’ve ever had. They are all amazing, but the toasted almond sesame donut is life changing.
These are made to order hand crafted donuts, probably the freshest you’ll ever eat.
Justin N.
I love this place. They make a quality donut fresh to order. They give the impression that they care about their customers and enjoy their work.
I recommend ordering online and driving over to minimize the wait.
Jessica Frost
Definitely the best doughnuts I’ve ever had! I don’t even understand how they are so good! I wish we could’ve gone in and sat with a coffee they were just doing pick up.
T Fred
First off I don't eat doughnuts...but my wife really wanted to get some from Hole Doughnuts for our trip back to Tampa.
These are the Best doughnuts I've Ever Tasted.
Due to non-sense restrictions you still couldn't eat inside the establishment, but it workout perfect for us anyways. Even if you "eat clean", you'll want to try these doughnuts 🍩
Gail Cekuta
Most amazing donuts I have ever had! Must stop if visiting Asheville. Light fluffy not greasy! More like a beignet only better. Tried three beignet,
vanilla and cinnamon sugar. A little piece deliciousness in every bite and you will never have a donut like this again!
Cassandra Elese
First of all: Incredible donuts! These donuts were fresh, light and so delicious. We tried three flavors: sesame almond, mint julep, and cinnamon sugar. Each one was excellent and I was surprised how much I loved the two more unusual flavors. The woman at the front who greeted me and took my order was exceptionally kind and friendly. All around a lovely experience.
Maggie Munki
So so good! I recently had a goal to try all the donuts in Asheville (it's good to have goals, right?!) and this tried & true stayed the winner. The classic glazed is my favorite but I love tasting all the new flavors too. You can't go wrong.
Ben P
I’m not a sweets for breakfast type person, but everyone was telling me to try these donuts when I was in Asheville. Wow — I’ve got to say that these are easily the best donuts I’ve ever had. Will stop here every single time I’m in the area.
January Dayton
Can I give this place more than 5 stars?!? These are by far the best doughnuts me and my family have ever had!!! So hot and fresh, with unique flavors, and the staff was super friendly!
Tea For Two
Truly THER best donuts my fiancé and I have ever had in the United States. I mean, this place makes unbelievably excellent artisan donuts that leave you wanting more. Whatever recipe they are using and whatever they are doing, holy mackerel are they on top of the donut game.
Joshua Marlan
Helluva doughnut! Warm, inviting, delicious… and that’s just commenting on the service I received at this little gem of an operation. Of course, I think the doughnuts themselves are also worthy of high praise, fresh, warm, yummy, unique, fresh, tasty… and did I mention fresh?
Eating one of their made to order treats reminds me that one can still afford some of the finer things in todays frighteningly unsure existence. Tremendous quality for the price and long lingering satisfaction is the reward for making your way out here. Just be sure to get here by 1:00 pm.
If you want to succeed and last in Asheville’s growing food scene, I urge you to take note of and follow the lead of Hole Doughnuts, they’re definitely doing it right.
Ty Biegs
I was born and raised in Canada (and we love our doughnuts)....
So let me tell you when I say these aren't just any doughnuts....
These are GOD'S doughnuts, that isn't even a stretch!
I have never been so happy and content eating food in my entire life. And their coffee to pair with it was immaculate.
My friend and I visited from Charlotte, NC for a hiking trip and he told me about this place. This is by far the best doughnut shop I have ever been to. Laurie helped us with our order and what an amazing person she is. Her positive energy is just through the roof (very contagious) not only is the food amazing but the overall experience was an absolute blessing.
I will definitely be coming back, and telling as many people about it as I can. 5 stars doesn't do this place justice. 100 ⭐
Virginia Isaharov
Made-to-order warm, fluffy & light doghnuts...they just melt in your mouth! We could easily eaten several but very thankful for our first try...we will be back! Very welcoming, friendly owner...order outside via the sku code & they bring it out to you.
Jason Shorb
These donuts are legit good. Made on the spot, there might be a wait but it’s worth it. The Toasted Almond Sesame Cinnamon is amazing. Cinnamon sugar staple is also top notch. Not just Asheville good but universally good.
Nancy Eichler
Might be the best donuts I have ever eaten. Simply incredible- and great after taste. Outstanding!! Wish I didn’t live so far away. Had a delicious cup of hot green jasmine tea, too. Love the atmosphere and very friendly staff.
Amber Buchanan
Holy moly, these doughnuts are amazing. So light and airy, but a little crispy on the outside. Their flavors are so good, the vanilla and the special, Maple Bourbon, were our favorite. The lady running the register was super nice and so helpful. Highly recommend this place.
Rebecca Freyenberger
I wish I could give this quaint place a 10 star rating! Seriously the BEST doughnut I've ever had. My husband and I love finding unique spots when we travel and Hole Doughnuts did not disappoint! The employees were so friendly and the space was quiet and enjoyable as we sipped our coffee, even with customers coming in and out.
Max Upp
Seriously incredible. Wildly good donuts. The staff is hilarious and so accommodating! They only have a few flavors per day but they are prepping and making them to order so every flavor comes out hot. One of my favorite parts about Asheville!
Kristen Hodnett
The doughnuts are delicious with light airy dough. Order 1-2 extra, you won't regret it. The workers are friendly, too!
Javier Baez Armenta
My kids loved them!
My daughter and her brother are fighting over the cinnamon sugar ones. I need to double up my order next time.
EatDrink Cleveland
The absolute best donut of my life! These handcrafted made-to-order treats are lightly crispy outside with a delicate chewy interior and served fresh and hot. Simple flavors let the quality ingredients shine. Amazing!
Sean Paxton
Some of the best donuts I've ever had, PERIOD! Four donuts, each day, fried and glazed when you order them. You get a show, seeing the artistry and passion of the bakers, prepare your order and the results are finger licking good, leaving you craving more. If you love doughnuts | donuts, go here. You'll see. And thank me later.
Emily Williams
The toasted sesame doughnut was one of the best doughnuts i’ve ever had. Fresh, light, airy, a little crispy on the outside, sweet but not too sweet. The staff was super nice! Online orders only and they will bring it out to you. The parking lot is small but it seems like it’s a quick turnover. We also tried a couple other doughnut and they were delicious as well. You can’t go wrong.
Laura Chou
These doughnuts were really unique, well done, and totally fresh. They have a short menu, but that just made the decision on which to order that much easier (see photo: one of each). Due to Covid precautions, the shop was shutdown for multiple days but it was not clear what days and for how long. It’s great that they were safe, but wish it was clear on their website so I didn’t show up to an empty shop.
Nathalie
First time here, so we tried all variations and it was finger licking good!!!!
Scarlet Hamrick
Insanely amazing donuts!! Order ahead online and wait in the parking lot...the awesome staff will shout out your name and hand you a made-to-order, warm donut that will change your life!
John Zboyovski
We were looking for a place to grab coffee and found Hole Doughnuts with some good reviews. Wanted to try for ourselves. Tiny place with big personality. Staff was very friendly and although they were busy they took time to greet and chat with everyone. A bit pricey but totally worth it for made to order doughnuts. They offer 4 types and rotate one of the flavors every week. We got the vanilla glaze and cinnamon and sugar. I also go a cup of coffee. Coffee was very good but the doughnuts were incredible. It's a good thing there isn't one in Augusta, GA or I would weigh 1,000 lbs. Can wait to come back again on our next visit to see family.
Cody Powell
An absolute gem here in Asheville. We were greated before we were even inside the shop by the friendliest staff, and the experience only got better from there. These a truly handmade doughnuts, and the only downside of coming here is that all other doughnut experiences will disappoint for the rest of your life. The standard glazed is the best doughnut I've ever eaten. 12/10 would recommend!
Jennifer S
BEST DONUTS I HAVE EVER PUT IN MY FACEHOLE!!!! You are not living your best life if you have visited Asheville and not stopped by this joint. Made fresh while you wait (wait isn't that long). I have to stop myself from going by daily! GET YOU SOME DONUTS FROM THIS SPOT STAT!!!!
Laura Skillington
This morning I left my everyday life behind and transcended to donut heaven. When we arrived the friendliest person on earth greeted my fiancé and I as if we were old friends. We ate the warmest freshest most crisp light and fluffy donuts I have ever eaten. As soon as they were handed to us we didn't even consider making it to the car and instead gobbled them down immediately because they smelled so good and tatested even better. I no longer have any worries and know only pure donut joy.
Carlye Beyer
Delicious and light doughnuts! I’m not a huge donut person, but I loved all 4 of their flavors! There may be a wait, especially on weekend mornings, but while you wait you can sit and watch them make the donuts fresh. The doughnuts your getting are as fresh as you can get. The place is small, but a cute atmosphere and super friendly staff. Definitely recommend stopping here!!!!
Trisha Gensic
THE EXPERIENCE:
We stopped by The Hole to pick up some doughnuts after seeing the amazing reviews it had received. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
I found the whole concept a bit "iffy". Let me explain; for starters, when we got there a number of people seemed to be hanging around outside. I went to the door - it was locked. Yet I had just seen someone come out of that very door.
It turns out that in order to get doughnuts one must scan a QR code on the door. This will lock on to their menu / order page - if you have a Smart Phone on you. If not, " no doughnuts for you"!
To receive your order, a runner from in the building, carries your order outside, where you have been waiting in the freezing cold for way too long to be comfortable. When the doughnuts arrive, however, they are just out of the fryer hotter than Hades!
THE FOOD:
I found the selection of doughnuts to be very narrow; glazed, sesame coated (odd), powdered sugar tossed, and beignets. While the taste was good, the consistency was like they were totally hollow. If I have to pay $15 for six doughnuts, wait in the freezing weather for my custom-fried pastries, I prefer them to have more content. These seemed to be over-raised to the point they contained more air than anything.
Michael Iveson
What a wonderful place. Amazing made to order donuts. Theyre a yeast style donut that is light and airy almost like a croissant. Theye oddly shaped which is unique and reminded me of a cronut. We tried all the available flavors and loved them all. The service was friendly and energetic. The lady running the joint seemed to really enjoy herself and was passionate about her product.
Paul Currie
From front of the house (Lori (sp?)) to the cook (Chase) -and everyone in between-, to the final sugary result of their efforts being devoured is a truly awesome experience. If the goal is to feel like you've walked into your best friends house (which looks class) and then get treated to a sumptuous donut, then this experience excelled. Staff are more than attentive, very personable and even remembered my wife's name from the day before. No wonder people travel hours to experience this place. The donuts which are cooked right in front of you and glazed there and then. Hot and fresh - The true meaning! Definitely worth a visit when anywhere near AVL.
Ken Lopez
Hands down THE BEST DONUTS I HAVE EVER EATEN! They're made to order, light and not overly sweet. I loved all of the flavors but blueberry (rotating flavor) was my favorite. If you're visiting Asheville, make it a point to stop in at Hole. You won't be disappointed. Special shout out to Chase, Laurie & Willow for being so welcoming and all the love.
Kev Bradshaw
So far, the best doughnuts in town, and the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff were very polite and friendly, and as it was Star Wars day we had fun interacting with them on a geeky intergalactic level. May the 4th be with you. Haha.
Service was swift and easy, the coffee cheap and delicious and the decor truly amazing.
A very cool local doughnut store that needs to be visited if you love your doughnuts.
Can’t wait to return for more vanilla glazed doughnuts.
Stephen Atkins, II
Super friendly staff and great doughnuts! These doughnuts are made to order and there is a reason why, YOU HAVE TO EAT THESE FRESH!! These doughnuts are excellent, but they are not made to be eaten cold or heated over!
Usman Amin
Don’t miss out this place if you are in the neighborhood! Freshly made doughnuts and very cheerful staff! Do not forget to place your order online before reaching the place.
Ray Ray
Oh my gosh! I have never had a better donut than from this place. Such a neat place. They are super busy for a great
reason.
First, the staff are friendly and treat every customer like they personally know them. They have great energy that makes you smile. I had no problem tipping them in their jar at the register.
Second, order in instead of take out. That way you can watch them make donuts in front of you which is very entertaining.
Thirdly, get the vanilla glazed. The other flavors are equally good but something about a classic flavor. The donuts come out warm and fluffy with a light crunch of freshness.
A S
Quality over quantity. I will definitely have to come here every time I visit Asheville. These doughnuts are fantastic! I thought that Donut World's buttermilk donut was the best glazed treat, but Hole's doughnuts have taken the prize. The staff is very sweet as well. The chai and toasted almond are my favorite, but I recommend trying them all.
vidalia jewel
What a great place to visit. The line was out the door but the staff move things along quickly. Super friendly and the atmosphere was great. Their coffee is divine. Love that your doughnuts are made fresh and that you can watch the whole process. Very down to Earth atmosphere including the crowds. We sat at the bar for a while to watch the doughnut making process. We then shared a table with some visiting Brits and had quite the interesting conversation. The crowd cheered for the worker who remembered the names of the patrons and what they'd ordered. I found the place top notch,interesting,funny,entertaining and would definitely visit again. The donuts were simply divine.
Quintastics Adventures
Trendy little donut shop with a unique HUGE fresh biscuit-like glazed donuts. This is a very popular establishment in the growing hipster development of West Ashville off Haywood Road. The place was packed and well worth the trip.
Josh Gibbons
The best donuts you’ll ever taste! Literally made hot and fresh right in front of your face. 3-4 options but that’s all you’ll need! Good local coffee and chocolate milk as well.
It does get busy, you are in a tourist town, don’t forget that. But the staff is very quick and nice! I’d recommend going early on a weekday if you care about crowds.

The most amazing homemade doughnuts I've ever tasted in my life. Melt in your mouth delicious in the cuties little coffee shop a short distance from the heart of Asheville. I can't wait til my next trip to visit Holes once again!
Meredith Floyd
A really cool little donut shop. The donut was so good and it was lovely to have a warm donut that was crunchy and soft at the same time. It was so neat to be able to sit and watch them make your donut and others and see the whole process. Definitely will be going again to try their new flavors next time I am in Asheville.
Robert Thatcher
Really delightful donut experience. Donut made when ordered - with options to choose from. Fried donut only Serves donuts and coffee. Period.
Small space for seating indoors - some seating outdoors.
Don't be in a hurry..... don't try to eat on the run. Takes AmEx, V, MC at least.
Eliza Alden
Absolutely top quality! The donuts are perfection, coffee is great, and the atmosphere is lovely. Definitely don't miss this locally owned gem.
Anna Wadhwani
Best donuts I’ve ever had

Ordering is currently online-only, and I suggest ordering ahead through the link on their website. We placed an order on Sunday morning at 9:40 AM and it took about an hour before it was ready. Note that you’ll only get an order time once you complete the purchase. The team looked like they were working as quickly as possible; I think they just have too much demand for their staff.
A tip to the business owner: I noticed you use Square in your store. Square has an online ordering platform that doesn’t require customers to create an account (unlike ChowNow), and gives customers a wait time estimate before they order. Just something to consider. 🙂
Kelli Matheny
Delicious donuts served with a smile. The cold brew they had was wonderful too.
My first visit was as a tourist a few years ago. Waited in line. Been back as a local and they are wonderful. Go off times so wait isn’t too long since they are made to order.
Allyson
YUM! This place is insanely good. We knew we came to the right spot when the parking lot and building were completely full! The doughnuts here are made fresh and so delicious. Best doughnuts I've ever had! Can't wait to come back here again! The staff was so sweet and welcoming also!
Josh Rose
Very good donuts. Freshly made to order. They we're delicious. Since the donuts are not friends they we're not greezy. Staff was friendly, cheerful and helpful. The decor was interesting.
Luke Parsons
Hands down some of the best donuts I’ve ever had. Also friendly staff here. Highly recommend the toasted almond topping. Fantastic.
Kay Chevalier
Best doughnuts ever! Friendly staff and amazing FRESH doughnuts. We had to try alllll the flavors. We were in Asheville for the weekend and we managed to go twice!!
Jamie Harrington
I'm ashamed to say I only discovered this place recently & it's been here 3 years; but holy moly yummy deliciousness!! Donuts are amazing & the coffee is phenomenal!! I'm now a huge fan & will definitely be back!
Justin Baden
Last time in Asheville we discovered Hole Doughnuts. This place is awesome!!! Small local operation with simple and delicious doughnuts made fresh right in front of you. Coffee is fantastic too, locally roasted. Every time we're back in Asheville we'll visit Hole Doughnuts for sure. Don't miss it!
Tripp Tyree
Best donut you’ll possibly ever have and the lady out front completing orders makes it even better. Spend all your money here! Come early.
David Worrell
We hit this place when there were no crowds at all so take that into account… What I loved was that they handmade each donut. It actually took kind of a long time to fry dip and sprinkle these amazing delicacies. We sat at the counter and drooled over every step. My new favorite topping is sesame seed and Allmond. Fantastic!
Sylvia Balli
I have acquired the donuts and wow they were amazing!! Perfectly cooked outside with a soft inside.
Iddet Milian-Prada
This place was not only delicious but their hospitality exceeded our expectations. Visiting the city from Florida we saw this yummy donut place and decided to go but got there just as they were closing. We were greeted with a big smile from the cashier girl and the cook stopper cleaning just to fry our donuts. Several others walked in right behind us and were greeted the same. This act made our donuts so much more delicious. Def stop by and grab a yummy fresh fried donut , made right in-front of you.
Paul McLester
Amazing donuts! The owners and staff are the nicest most helpful people! The donut is light and crispy with the airiness of a soufflé. Incredible!
Christal Chu
Best donuts I’ve had in America love its bit chewy texture and the sweetness is very close to my(Asian lol) taste
Joe Marino
These were some of the best donuts I’ve ever had. Served warm they are really unique and delicious, they are still good cold too but the warm ones are supreme. The staff was really friendly too. We will definitely come back any time we are in town.
SM Tan
This is literally the best donuts I've ever had. It's made fresh when you order, and is crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. It's not excessively sweet either. Just the perfect donut. It puts every other donut to shame! Make sure to come here when you're in Asheville. I highly recommend it. There's four flavors and every one was fantastic.
Barnabas Piper
This is the best glazed doughnut I have ever had, hot from the fryer. The. Signet doughnut was a close second - just incredible. The service was fast and really friendly. This place will be a guaranteed stop on any future visit to Asheville.
Jacob Worthey
Such a friendly staff, and the doughnuts were amazing! The vanilla glazed are some of the best I’ve ever had.
Lisa Cianci
The doughnuts here are fantastic, and the people who run the place are pretty awesome, too. We had stopped at Hole while visiting Asheville a few years ago and loved their made-to-order doughnuts. We were back in North Carolina last week, staying in a yurt at a campground, when tropical depression Fred came through. We spent a night without power, worrying about the rising creek and potential tornadoes. The next morning, we headed to Asheville and decided doughnuts were what we needed. We were thrilled to see Hole was still open! While waiting for our doughnuts, another customer asked where we were from. We mentioned the storm/loss of power etc. When our doughnuts were ready, the owner/employee (not sure which!) handed them to us and said, “There’s no charge because of what you went through last night.” How wonderful is that?? The doughnuts were just as fabulous as the first time we had them, too. What an amazing business. We will be back in Asheville in November (staying in a house, not a yurt!) and will be sure to make a stop at Hole and buy doughnuts for us and family we will be visiting.
Michael Byrd
Best! Doughnuts! Ever! Really these hand made, made-to-order beauties are unbelievably delicious...and uniquely made by the friendliest people I've met in Asheville. We tried the honeysuckle glazed doughnuts this time - fantastic! Never tasted anything like it! We'll be back.
Will Emmer
Amazing Family Owned Business!! I am not usually a fan of yeast raised donuts, but these are fresh made with a crunchy exterior and a chewy delicious interior. Just try them for yourself!
jasmine belthrop
This store is closed to customers at the moment. You have to order online and do curbside pickup. The donuts are best ate when warm. There are a lot of other customers wait outside for their orders so it's best to order your donuts before you leave your house.
Glenna Raidt
Best place to have fresh as you order donuts. Staff is Outstanding. There are NO better donuts. Best experience you will have. You watch you donut made to order, in front of you. Highly recommend!!
Jordan Stomps
These are the best doughnuts I have ever had, bar none. They are made-to-order, fresh and warm, and worth any amount of wait. I can only think that they flash-fry each doughnut at very high heat because each doughnut comes out unique and blistered. Those blisters create a satisfying crunch that is unrivaled.
After our first visit, we came back the next day hoping for more. Unfortunately, they were unexpectedly closed (I think they may be having staffing issues). Just be warned to plan ahead or check online for their hours.
Daniel Ware
Lovely little shop with kind workers who work so hard. Delicious doughnuts and while they have a small selection the selection they have is amazing
Travis Adenau
Absolutely incredible doughnuts probably the best I've had, served HOT and fresh out of a very low key spot. The staff was super friendly and hooked us up with some extras that hadn't been picked up.
Shiela Talampas
Love their donuts...very light and tasty. We came in early thinking we have to que to order. But actually need to order online. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, assuring we will get it sooner...which we did. Highly recommended!
Yukiko Hikosaka
Finally I made it to be here!!
The donuts were fantastic than I expected.
And, Laurie!! You are so sweet! I got energetic to meet you. Thanks!!
R M
Some of the best donuts I have ever had! And the staff is so friendly!
Jessica Morton
The best donuts you will EVER eat! They have rotating flavors but always their crowd fave is vanilla glaze 🤤 any time we are near Asheville we have to go ❤️ they are yeast doughnuts but have a crispy chewy texture. Hands down the best 🙌 …
Monique Gareau
These may be some of the best donuts I’ve ever eaten in my life. Delicious donuts, great coffee, super friendly service. Can’t wait to come back!
Marc Navez
What a delicious doughnut! They are carefully prepared, then fried once you order them. This makes the process take longer, but totally worth the wait.
Because of the pandemic, you have to order online, but it only takes 7 minutes and not the 20 minutes it suggests.
They have daily specials, so there is always something new to try.
Since I'm from out of town, I can't wait to come back and have some more... I probably could have eaten a full dozen.
Paquita Poindexter
It was so enjoyable to watch my doughnut being made right in front of my eyes. That warm yeast doughnut drenched in a vanilla glaze was so tasty. I'm so glad I stopped. Bonus was the cashier was truly happy to be at her job and her energy was so positive.
James Mattingly
By far the best doughnut I've ever had. I had a plain vanilla while my wife had the special, which was the bourbon sorghum. Both were phenomenal, plus who doesn't like watching a doughnut be freshly made in front of them?
Andrea Aitken
This is one of the best doughnuts I've ever had! They are made to order and skating fresh. Must stop place on every trip into town?
Colin Kramer
The most amazing donuts I’ve ever had. I first had them 2 years ago, and now can’t skip them every time I pass through Asheville. Usually can’t even make it to the car before digging in. The service is outstanding as well and everyone is super friendly. Can’t wait to come back.
Linda Tsan
The absolutely BEST donuts I've ever had; not horrendously sweet with a unique crispy crust and airy center. Sometimes they have special liquor-infused glazes that are off the wall.
And while donuts can brighten up anyone's day, shoutout to the ray of sunshine Laurie who remembers every repeat customers and plies me with compliments every. single. time. Love her, love Hole, love Asheville <3<3<3
Emily Blumhardt
These are made to order donuts from scratch, and all their hard work really pays off! Smiling, friendly, gracious service. Great coffee, too!
David Weck
Wonderful donuts and thankful they added gluten free donuts as an option. Inside dining is now open and enjoyable
Steven Patrick
Just stopped here passing through. This place is brilliant! The best donuts I’ve ever had anywhere. What a lucky find!
Maile Neel
Great doughnuts. Super friendly folks. Nicely done space where you get to watch your doughnuts being made to order.
Eleanor McDonald
The best doughnuts ever! They were so tasty and fried to order. We had the Cinnamon Sesame and also a special Curry doughnut that was so delicious! Sugary, turmeric-y and cardamom-y with a little hint of spice! 👌 The people running it were also so lovely. Would highly recommend, defo worth going if you are in Asheville!! We came all the way from London!
E
Great doughnut place! They only serve about three kinds of doughnuts everyday, their iced, cinnamon sugar, and a flavor of the day. We got two iced and one cinnamon, orange juice, and a cup of coffee. The doughnuts were made right in front of us, and it is an open concept restaurant. They came out quickly and piping hot! They were absolutely delicious and not your typical cakey donut. The two ladies working that day were so kind and chatted with us about their local recommendations, and they even recommended a great consignment shop to hit up. At the end of our visit they gave me a free sticker. Really kind people and great doughnuts.
Megan Divens
Made to order and always delicious. Staff is friendly. Recommended ordering online and doing pickup. Parking is a little limited, and is walkable from Haywood Rd and connectors.
eleftheria agioutanti
Laurie is an amazing person!! We came in to grab donuts and because of a nut allergy she treated us and was extremely accommodating!!!! Best experience in Asheville :)
Jim Wellman
This place rocks. Everyone is extremely friendly and the donuts are spectacular. Donuts are cooked after you order and are served hit and delicious. Great spot for a quick bite and a cup of Joe.
Dustin Morrison
Fast and super friendly! Great coffee and atmosphere. Order online just ahead of your visit so you're in and out quicker.
Dave Tinker
Holy Cow! Hole Doughnuts is outstanding! You would likely never know it was there until someone told you about it. The doughnuts are amazing and the staff is super friendly and fun. Having a doughnut here is a must do when you are visiting the Asheville area.
Siddhartha Thanawala
Beyond amazing possibly the best yeasted donuts we have had, went back two days in a row. I particularly love the cinnamon sugar one since the donut stays crunchy. I would drive just to eat one of these to Asheville!!!!
Andrew O
Obviously amazing donuts as the reviews show but a couple of things to know before you go.
1) They have a small selection of flavors so this isn't your typical doughnut shop with 50 different types of doughnuts and toppings. That said, the four options available are done perfectly.
2) The doughnuts are savory, sweet, chewy, and generally have that homemade quality. They aren't just fried sugar globs that leave you hungry 30 minutes after you are done eating.
3) They are freshly prepared so be patient and willing to wait a bit.
Saki Ishida
Doughnuts here was amazing!!! I have never eaten a Doughnut like this before!!
We'd definitely come back for more!!
The lady who brought us the Doughnuts were so nice too :) Highly reccommend!!
Lee Ann Jones
A cute shop with delicious doughnuts and super friendly service. There is a limited selection of toppings, but they were all unique and tasty. The honeysuckle and cinnamon sugar were our favorites.
Kendra Kristine
Probably the best donut Ive ever had in my entire life without exaggeration. Also, the staff was super sweet. The building is quaint and adorable.
Gabriel Arkanum
Came for a doughnut and coffee while in town for a wedding. Ended up eating two and a half doughnuts because they were just too good. Honestly, the best doughnut I've had. The coffee isn't bad either and it adds to the experience to watch them make the doughnut you will be eating.
Bhavik Modi
Friendliest staff and delicious, crispy, and airy donuts! The orange saffron flavor was incredible
Katie Hagen
Delicious, light airy texture! Made AFTER you order. Not overly sweet or too heavy, but perfectly balanced taste and texture
Jordan Morrell
DO NOT COME TO ASHEVILLE AND MISS THIS!!! By far the most AMAZING doughnut I have ever had. You don’t need anything crazy, just get a classic glazed doughnut and enjoy! Super friendly and personal staff that make you feel welcome and at home. I’m so serious, if you miss this on an Asheville trip then you messed up.
Karmela Ramos Gertz
The fluffiest, tastiest donuts you’ll ever taste, especially when it’s warm and fresh out of the fryer. The staff is just as nice!
Luyando Mwkbwe
The best doughnuts what I ever had! Although my flight was delayed to go to Asheville and I got there out of their business hour, the super friendly staffs kept some doughnuts for me. I was impressed of their service. I am a big fan of them forever.
Kimberly Platt
This place is now a favorite of mine. My boyfriend and I visited Hole TWICE on our weekend vacation in Asheville. The service is impeccable, Laurie was so amazing and made us feel so welcomed, we thank her for that! The donuts were to say the least, the most amazing donuts I’ve ever had. And I know where to stop at first on my next trip to Asheville! Seriously take the time to visit this place, I wish I could give more stars.
Rory O'Connor
Light airy donuts. The sweetest person to ever hand me a donut in my life. 10 out of 10 highly recommend.
Deanna Watts
Stopped by this charming little place on our way out of town. The girl working at the register was lovely. Her personality fit her position well and set the tone for the entire place. We couldn’t decide on a flavor so we ordered one of each; this is apparently called a flight. In this picture, the guy on the left is making the donuts, the girl is frying them, and the guy on the right is topping them. Talk about made to order. The donuts were unlike any we’ve had before and quite delicious. You should definitely swing by if you’re in the area. If there’s a line out the door, just wait. You won’t regret it.
Matthew Taylor
Fantastic doughnuts and extremely friendly service! They may have converted me to fried doughnuts. I’ve always been partial to cake, but the Wineberry was delicious with great texture. I highly recommend.
Katerina Parchuk
Few select options but the donuts are absolutely amazing!!! Piping hot and fresh to order. Coffee was pretty good too.
Bethy Lancione
Amazing Doughnuts! Probably some of the best I’ve ever had. Defiantly make time to stop here and pick some up if you’re in the area. The service was very welcoming and friendly to their customers.
Plus they have a cute outdoor seating area with an old donut truck for Instagram photos!
Jacquelyn Wood
Very good fried doughnuts. Friendly staff. I wish the parking lot was bigger.
Lindsey R
If you like elephant ears or funnel cake or whatever you call it you're going to LOVE hole doughnuts. They put the doughnuts in the fryer after you've ordered them so you get to eat the freshest fresh doughnuts around. I loved it, and if I come back to Asheville I will be back here.
Luc Alvarado
Got in early on Sunday and just beat the rush! It's a cozy space with ample seating yet luckily there's quick turnover because by the time we left there wasn't a seat left and there was a line out the door! They offer four styles of doughnut and you can watch as they are all freshly made to order. Drip coffee and regular and chocolate milk on hand for a match made in heaven.
Jill Giezentanner
These made to order doughnuts are truly delicious. The cinnamon sugar are our favorite. Ordering was a little difficult but when you finally get it and sink your teeth into tender hot dough with just the right amount of sweetness you are in total food bliss
James Rogers
Amazing donuts! Texture and taste come together for a blissful experience. Unique flavors that aren’t gimmicky or overly sweet. A must have when I’m in Asheville.
Stephanie G
Laurie is the sweetest human you’ll ever meet and remembers your name after weeks of not being there. The donuts are fantastic. My husband and I have to stop (even go out of our way) every time we’re headed to the coast. It’s a must.
Rachel Meenan
Not only are these the most scrumptious, fresh, artisanal, rustic doughnuts I’ve ever had, but as if that isn’t enough the owner is an absolute gem. She’s kind and clearly dedicated to providing an awesome product and a hospitable experience. She truly goes the extra mile to treat each customer like a special guest. We take all of our friends and visitors here and everyone has been 100% impressed.
You know it’s good when you only need 4 items on the menu, and one of them is a daily rotating flavor. Special request - can you make the beignet one more often?
-from your loyal patrons, cgcampbell ;)
Kathleen Humphrey
Don't miss this while you're in town. Order online only with easy pickup. Parking is limited. The staff are awesome and give the best positive vibes to start your day right!!
Billie Shepherd
The outstanding quality of these donuts makes all other donuts look like they suffer an affliction of insufficiency. Every nearby bee is flying around in diabetic coma from a trip to the outdoor doughnut display. Our service was remarkable and highly entertaining.
Diana Bates
Amazing amazing amazing! Wish I had gotten an entire box to go home with! Not a donut person and absolutely loved them. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
Emma
LITERALLY THE BEST DOUGHNUT OF MY LIFE. I'm sad because I live in Atlanta and it's so far away from these delicious doughnuts.
thepagano
Comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Delicious PennyCup coffee. Airy and unique flavors of donuts. Lemon rosemary was delicious. My husband enjoyed his sesame cinnamon.
Alison Smitley
To-die-for delicious-ness!! I had to get one of every kind of doughnut when passing through Asheville on a road trip. It was well worth our detour to stop here. We got our order to go, but I would have loved to sit and eat them in their quaint dining area. You can watch as the doughnuts are made, it was pretty cool. A must visit!
Brian Wasser
what a great place for donuts and coffee. My wife saw this in the Southern living magazine and we had to stop in to see for ourselves. The donuts are made fresh and they melt in your mouth
Ileanet Vidal
The donuts were hot and fresh. Only 4 choices but all were AMAZING it was packed and we had to wait a little but the customer service was so great it wasn’t even bad to wait. I will definitely be coming back.
Anthony Nugnes
Best donut I've ever had. It's truly a one of a kind place!
Catherine King
Oh my gosh, truly the best donuts ever. I was looking for a great spot to stop and boy am I ever glad that we chose here. These donuts were pure perfection. Light, crunchy and flavorful. It was like the best elephant ear you've ever had, but way better. I will tell every person who even breaths "Asheville" in my direction that this place is a MUST visit.
Chelsea Bish
These donuts are not for me. We tried all the flavors and they were very salty and very greasy. My partner liked them.
A WH
I don't know if I can ever enjoy another donut. By far the best donut I've ever had!
Jamie Reece
Who would think that people would wait around over an hour for donuts; but it is well worth it. The girl bringing out the orders was amazing.
Liz Suzanne
We heard of the place via tiktok and knew right away we had to try it out! If you are ever in the Asheville, NC area go check Hole-Doughnuts out as they are AMAZING!!!!
Zack Brandt
My absolute favorite donut place! Not only are the donuts great, but they are always so friendly and welcoming. A must visit for anyone around the Asheville area!
Bradley Cooch
This place never disappoints. Best doughnuts I’ve ever had!
R Moorer
Awesome! Top 5 doughnut establishment in the world. Don’t miss it.
Some may scoff at the notion of an artisanal doughnut - including myself. That is until I had one of these heavenly vanilla glazed creations from Hole.
My life is changed for the better.
These doughnuts are hand made and are soft and chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside with just the right amount of sweetness in the glaze.
Order and pay in advance and select your pickup time.
Getting a still warm hunk of fried dough is the best way to enjoy this tasty treat.
And tell Laurie that the force is with you
Ely Guz
Once you have one Doughnut, you want to eat the whole box, coffee is pretty good and customer service is excellent!
Tayler O'Connell
Donuts are halfway between a traditional donut and funnel cake. Glaze was delicious. Great service too!
Matthew Farren
Phenomenal fresh (still warm doughnuts), great coffee, and amazing people! Highly recommend!
Shawna Ayoub
Best donuts I’ve ever had!
Zak Flaming
This whole experience was a definite 5 stars! The donuts were delicious, the wait times were very fair, and the person (maybe owner) bringing the donuts out was so cheery and pleasant. She seemed to know everyone's name, which means she must have a lot of happy repeat customers. I had the cinnamon sugar, the egg nog, the toasted almond, and the vanilla glaze. Every flavor was delicious.
Traelee Works
Every time I go to Asheville, I gain weight. Hole Doughnuts is definitely part of that issue. It's so easy to order online and pick up hot, fresh amazing doughnuts a few minutes later. The main issue is that you can't leave the parking lot without eating at least one...and a half.
My family really loves the sesame almond, but they're all delightful. These are so much better than any chain restaurant and I can't wait to return to Asheville for more hot doughnuts very soon.
Patrick Adams
Unique, locally owned shop with a simple menu. Had four different doughnut options when we visited, one of which was a special that changes often. The doughnuts themselves are yeast based, but have a consistency that is different from anything I've had previously. Also had some of the best cold brewed coffee I've ever drank.
Things to know:
1.) There is no counter service. You place your order and pay online. Orders are brought outside by an incredibly cheery lady named Laurie.
2.) Seating is limited and it is uncovered.
3.) No restrooms.
Leah Mccurley
These are THE best donuts I've ever eaten! Hidden gem. Light, melts in your mouth, best when eaten hot. So much fun to watch them make it. Super friendly owers & staff.
Calvin Kwon
Kid you not… the best doughnuts I’ve ever had. Crispy, light, and chewy in the best way possible. Mind blown
Tracy xoxo
Loved the donuts. They are cooked to order so they are always hot and fresh.
Regina Presley
Never cease to please. It is a go to location for our out of town guests who love it too! They always say "Best donuts ever!"
Cameron Cruz
Love this place! Hot fresh doughnuts cooked to order. Truly the best in town!!
Makayla Walther
Laurie is absolutely amazing!! We met her at New Belgium the day before and she is such a lovely person inside and out. She recommended us to come try this out the following morning which we are SO glad we did!! The donuts are BEYOND delicious! Hands down the best donuts I have ever had. They come out warm and mouth watering delicious 😋 we will absolutely be back here anytime we are in Asheville. Thank you Laurie!! You are a true gem of an awesome person!!
Nicole Venezia
The BEST! These are made-to-order so I recommend ordering online and getting there right at the pick-up time for freshness. Laurie is so awesome. I do miss being able to sit inside and watching the donuts being made (haven’t been able to go inside since Covid).
Jessica Green
Delicious, magical doughnuts made to order right in front of your eyes. Staff are amazing and super friendly! Absolutely no complaints.
PJ Kimmel
Made to order and such unique flavors and texture! They are carry out only, but easy to order and super quick.
T Sigety
These were the best donuts I have ever had. Be ready to wait in line! They are totally worth the wait!
hamed
Great doughnuts, very fresh. Also amazing coffee
Vanessa Ahn
Was supposed to take pictures but it disappeared before we could 😂 reminded me much of hotteok and kkwabaegi (Korean desserts covered in cinnamon and nuts). Love how light and crunchy these are without being overpowered in sweetness! Order ahead online and you’ll be greeted with them right at the door! …
Candis Watterson
Regretfully, this is a first time review from an Asheville native and I regret not getting any of these delicious donuts sooner! The online ordering process was easy and we got the cinnamon sugar, toasted sesame seed, and the weekly special that was lime/basil. Luckily, we got there Saturday around 12 before it got busy and the way was only a few minutes. We didn't make it home before they were all devoured. Imagine a funnel cake/churro donut consistency and amazing flavors. We were happy and wished we had ordered more!
Kendall Hewins
Donuts alone, I would rate a 5 star, they were different than any donut I've had. Hand shaped, slightly crispy exterior and very airy on the inside with a perfect amount of frosting. Unfortunately, the bakery is still closed so you have to order online and wait outside for it to be done. They only offer 4 types of donuts for you to choose from and I would complain about them being more expensive than most but considering they're made to order it's worth it. I ordered one glazed donut and waited 10 minutes for it to be prepared. The lady was very sincere and apologetic about our wait but I recommend you just order ahead of time. The place looked super cute and cozy on the inside but I just wish we could have experienced it for what it really is. Again, the donut was amazing otherwise my rating would be a little lower.
JT Cameron
Freaking amazing. Best donut experience of my life. Worth every dollar and every morsel!!
Jason Zwolak
The best donuts I’ve ever had… by FAR! It’s hard to even put all donuts into the same category when Hole Donuts are in that category. They are clearly donuts, but they are so much better than any donut I’ve had before that I start to question whether other donuts are actually donuts. I’m including other specialty donut shops when I make this statement, not just nationwide chains. I could go on… but let me also do something about the atmosphere. I enjoy the small scale of the store and sitting at the table while a light bustle of donut making continues opposite me. The staff is friendly. Their coffee pairs well with their donuts. Though good, it’s not the out of this world quality of their donuts.
Hole Donuts is a must visit if you haven’t been.
Go on a weekday and there’s little to no line.
Sophie Mullinax
Been coming here for 5 years for these reasons:
1. Laurie Crosswell never forgets a face and serves up the most amazing fresh doughnuts with the best customer service, friendliness, and humor.
2. The owners take great care of their employees. During covid, they have given paid time off, free testing, and have communicated all of this to their patrons quickly and professionally. They are very careful and I appreciate the concern and care they show their staff and community.
3. I can walk there.
4. The flavors! Always seasonal, always amazing.

Eric Swanburg
Awesome doughnuts. We were visiting Asheville so we bought all the flavors... even the "hidden" flavor they suggested for out daughter. This place is filled the hole I was missing... to my donut 😂. The coffee was also great. …
Mackenzie D.
Best doughnut shop on earth, bar none (and I eat a lot of doughnuts!). Their vanilla glaze is to die for but what makes this place special is the service. Seriously the coolest people and the best doughnuts. We were in Asheville just for the weekend and went twice! Would have gone more if we could!
Mark Ryan
This place is fantastic. Hands down the best donuts and coffee that I've ever had. This morning with my first trip here and I ordered one of each kind of donut. The donuts were crazy good light and airy but they take a long time to eat. Very buttery with just a hint of salt. The coffee was just wow. I had decaf and it was like I just wanted another. And because it was Christmas the owner offered me a free coffee just to be nice.
Chantal W.
Do yourself a favor and go here. Their donuts are so unique and delicious. They are always served hot and fresh out of the fryer. The staff is amazing and kind. Be sure to get a picture with their funky food truck in the parking lot. Just be sure to double check their hours as they are closed on some weekdays.
Joy Ayscue
Amazing donuts cooked to order, served hot and delicious! We bought one of each of the 4 daily specials and agreed that the cinnamon/sesame was the most awesome. I know it sounds weird but try it!
Amber Morgan
I love these donuts and the coffee is excellent. Great experience and super friendly poeple!
Emily Stumpf
Had a bad experience here. No going in to order, no walk up window. Only online ordering. The system they have to online order through would not process our order, it took about 5 minutes to load the page that said our order finally went through, and my husband had to put it in 3 times. Each time entering and reentering our card number and trying to sign in. After our order was finally placed they said 11 minutes to receive our donuts. We waited 20 minutes outside for 2 donuts.... There were four donuts to choose from. Really a bad system.
I understand they make them fresh but good golly. Have someone at a window to take orders and speed up this process.
Overall the donuts were good. Which is why I upped my original rating. It’s like a fried dough donut. Very airy, not a lot of dough to speak of inside. Not my type of donut. But the quality was there, they were fresh and while we were waiting the lady did tell us ours were being cooked.
Kalani Kane
Best donuts I've ever had! Wish there was one in Hickory...hint
Jeff Thomas
5 stars isn’t enough stars. Hopefully one day more stars will be available to capture how good these doughnuts are. They’re not art for social media, they are flavors and textures you shove into your face.
DaRon Saunders
Hole doughnuts were some of the tastiest I've ever had. They've perfected the balance of sweet and salty in their dough. I will definitely be going back next time I'm in the area.
Justine Vild
We came on a busy Saturday morning and after figuring out we had to place an order online, it took 23 minutes to get them. I did not care for the sesame one but the other 3 flavors were amazing. We ate them hot and fresh! Another reviewer compared them to elephant ears and I would say that is very close. Crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside. Yumm! The girl bringing the doughnuts out was very friendly and upbeat as well. Definitely order in advance and enjoy right there if you can!

Hands down the BEST donuts I have ever had in my life. I wish I could eat these every single day. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. All the flavors are phenomenal. Buy these donuts. Eat these donuts. Question everything you ever did before you tasted these donuts.
Rhonda Waterhouse
OMG! Best donut ever! I got the cinnamon sugar one. It was fresh and hot, crispy and sweet on the outside and soft and a little salty on the inside. Totally worth the 2 hour drive to get here!
Update 8/21/21: Today, I got the special flavor: chai. It topped my previous favorite. How do they do it?! I love that they remember me and we've only been here 3 times! Great energy and fantastic donuts!
Adam Johnson
Absolutely amazing. That cinnamon sugar is. Hoh my goodness oh me oh my. Wow.
Christian H. Clark [Personal]
Amazing donuts! Top of the line. Better than Krispy Kreme and Dunkin!

It's a small made to order shop it does take some time for them to cook but the yeast donuts are a different twist with old age ingredient.
Danielle Foster
This place is amazing! Spectacular customer service with the nicest and sweetest employees. Superior compared to other donut shops in the area. Will absolutely be returning to this outstanding establishment

My husband and I ordered one of each donut so we could sample their different offerings. Needless to say we should have ordered at least a half dozen as these donuts were SO GOOD!! They hand deliver them to you nice and warm. You get a nice fried crisp on the exterior of the donut and the inside is soft and pillowy. My personal favorite was the Vanilla Glazed (since I’m a classic girl). My husband really liked their special flavors: Cocoa Coffee Cardamom as well as the Toasted Almond Sesame Cinnamon. Unfortunately we took no pictures as we ate them sooo fast.
FindYourPeace
You have got to try their donuts we got one of every flavor and we loved everyone highly recommend this place
Desiree Kirby
Hands down the best doughnut I have ever had! If you love yeast raised hot made to order doughnuts then this place is for you! My husband and I got all 4 flavors they had. Vanilla glazed, sesame ( different but very tasty) cinnamon sugar, and the special - Earl Grey. They were crispy on the outside and pillowy soft in the middle. The glaze was sweet with hint of salt that balances everything out nicely (nothing like those overly sweet things you get at the popular chain). So good!
Sam Panther W.
Everything I've ever wanted in a donut and more. Best I've ever had! All organic and local ingredients. What else can be said? Delicious, addictive, and dare I say... Hole-some (wholesome) 😅😂 …
Victoria Pearson
Amazing donuts unlike any I’ve had before! The woman who brings you your donuts is a bit too energetic for me. First thing in the morning I’m still trying to process being out of bed and she was shouting and bouncing and being super over the top. Some of the locals seem to love that about the place and others looked like they just wanted to pick up their donuts without having to be accosted first thing in the morning. I would definitely go back but I wouldn’t want to go often enough that she learns my name.
Sarah Robinson
Hole donuts are the best!! They are so fresh and taste amazing! Their gluten free donuts were amazing too! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because, for unknown reasons, they stopped carrying gluten free donuts. That is highly disappointing, as gluten free people want amazing donuts too! But if you aren’t gluten free, a visit to Hole Donuts is a must.
Sam Lee
Ridiculously delicious. Must try, even for the hippest of hipsters and people who don't like traditional donuts.
Katelyn Inman
Order online, ready within 15 min, limited flavors, but WORTH IT!
Ambrosia W
If I could give this place a higher rating, I would! These are probably the best doughnuts I’ve had to this day. They are delectably light and airy and perfectly fried. Their Vanilla Glaze is a delicious classic and their Earl Grey has a really nice flavor to it. They basically make them to order but it is definitely worth the wait. If you are local or visiting, this is definitely a place you need to put on your must visit list.
Brittany Altemus
These donuts may have been the best I've ever had. We tried all four options which were delish but the toasted almond sesame and cinnamon will have a special place in my heart forever. The staff is so friendly and kind - shout out to Lori, she was a sweetheart!
Raymond Finnegan
This is a UNIQUE experience that combines great taste with an unusual dining experience. It's tough not being able to sit indoors and eat their delicious donuts, but the take out process is organized and worth the trip. When they finally reopen, DO NOT miss the opportunity to eat here!! My wife and I drove over 90 miles to return, and we will do it again after they bring back the indoor dining experience!!! Good food, and a great experience!!
Desirae
Simple and so delicious, I’m amazed every time. Laurie/Lori may be the sweetest and most entertaining person on the planet. She remembers everyone!
Chelsea Zahlen
Fantastic service every time! The lady that brings your order to you is the most welcoming person you'll meet. Every year when we drive through Asheville we HAVE to stop and get a donut flight. Their rotating donut flavor always takes us by surprise.
Simeon Frazier
Delish! Def worth the wait. Hot Fresh made to order.
Annika Wreder
Yesterday I went to Hole Doughnuts for a birthday breakfast and sat down at the tables outside as I finished a phone call. Before I could order, I was met with warmth, kindness and a special treat. The lady didn’t know but gave me such a great birthday present! Can’t recommend the place enough :)
Elizabeth Squires
Fresh fried donuts, dough reminiscent of beignets. Fluffy sweet perfection.
Emery Smith
Hole-E moly these were delicious. Katie was a ball of fire that made the experience even better. It is as if a doughnut and a French pastry made love. So much texture going on, chewy, soft, flacky and airy. The taste is a combination of pleasure for you tongue. They just please all of your senses. Can I also mention they have the best cup of Joe I have ever had. It is strong and smooth and they don't upcharge for Oakmilk. They also have a parking lot. Thank you...
Hallie Mulchan
BEST. DOUGHNUTS. EVER. Our only regret was not ordering more of them. Doughnuts are made to order and delicious. We loved the Toasted Almond Sesame Cinnamon!
Beatrice Paneto
Don't leave Asheville without trying these donuts ! Always fresh
Pauline “Polly” Yurko
Best donuts! A must stop on a trip to asheville!
Russell Norville
Best doughnut I have ever eaten.To add icing on the cake the staff was very friendly and uplifting even though it was very crowded.
J Dubz
Online orders only! Cashless payments. Fresh, crispy light and airy. Just amazing, best donut I’ve ever had in my life
Carrie Evans
Have you ever met a brighter, sunnier star than Laurie?!?! What a delight she and this place are. We had delicious donuts, fresh coffee and nothing but smiles. Thank you for making our honeymoon trip even better <3
Carl Dordelman
Awesome doughnuts and super nice staff! The doughnut I tried was pure fried dough, with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar, nice mildly salty taste. Amazing simple and tasty.
I had the pleasure of doing plumbing work there. They also have environmental technologies like a high end tankless water heater and very nice, clean kitchen.
Louisa Collins
Best donuts ever!! My husband and I love coming to this place. The donuts are made to order and are very soft, fluffy and super delicious. They typically have 4 flavors (rotate one new one in each week) and we get one of each because they are all amazing. They roast their own coffee beans to complement the donuts and it is really delicious too! The staff is very friendly and personable, they remembered our names after coming there just once before. The shop itself is really quaint and just gives you a real neighborhood shop feel. I would definitely recommend this place!!
Lilian Villareal
Super cute spot with very friendly staff. Simple menu with very tasty doughnuts. Try dipping the doughnut in your coffee...YUM!
Garrett Memoli
The best vegan donut I have ever had!!
Vanessa Marie
The BEST donuts I have ever tried, SERIOUSLY! Not only were the donuts out of this world, the customer service was equally as good. The lady who helped us was so friendly, and welcoming definitely added to the experience. Everyone needs to check this little gem out, you will not be disappointed :)
Kara Elswick
We ordered online and picked up on our way into town. Staff was so nice and the doughnuts were AMAZING! We had a sugar cinnamon and a toasted almond sesame seed doughnut. Definitely recommend!
Andy Whittier
5 stars everything. Laurie and her team are the best
Aubrey Green
This place is amazing. Love the and how much the restaurant felt like mommas kitchen. The women there are amazing and Laurie made the experience even better
Gillian Maxwell
The best donuts I’ve ever had... I could eat the almond sesame donut every day! What they lack in flavor variety they more than make up for in quality. Everything is super fresh and made to order, the outside is perfectly chewy while the inside is perfectly soft and fluffy. I wish I didn’t live in NYC because we have nothing as good as these donuts!
Bobby Edens
Maybe the best donuts I ever had‼️
Caren Campbell
My daughter's choice was a bakers dozen .delish.huge.buttery.love the variety.was one place with 2 children along a big hit.
Shelby Kobayashi
Greeted by pure sunshine in human form and served the most fresh and delicious doughnuts. On our way out, a staff member ran out behind us and gave us some stickers. You can tell she loves what she does and it shows. Of course, the doughnuts come out hot and taste like heaven too. The next time we’re in town, we’re bee-lining to Hole!
Brenda Karika
Really great donuts. Worth the year wait to get back there.
Adam Willoughby-Knox
Great donuts, a little bit of a wait but definitely worth it. Fun for kids too!
Jessica Houde
Amazing donuts are made to order so they are hot and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I love the flavours. There is always some crowd pleasers and some exotic without ever being weird or too sweet. Plan on enjoying these here while they are hot and amazing.
Ashli Wilkins
Delicious! Made to order, and they are the perfect blend of crispy and fluffy. Currently you have to place your order online and pick up in the parking lot. However, this didn’t impact the service one bit. The staff was so sweet and efficient!
Linda Watterworth
So amazing. Best donut I ever had. Loved the pumpkin sorghum donut. Had a little spice to it which was unexpected and so yummy. They are so nice at Hole. Can't wait to go back.
Robbie Gaiser
We came on our honeymoon & dedicated a day to donuts. Went to 3 places & this one blew every other out of the water! These are the VERY best donuts my husband & I have ever had! So amazing that we had to go again on our way back home. Also, BEST customer service ever. She remembered us & remembered we were newly weds. So special!
Joan Pharr
Best donut ever! Cooked while you wait - fresh, hot, not greasy and flavorful. Tried the regular glaze and cinnamon sugar today - both delicious but the cinnamon glaze was perfect!
Sam Blike
At hole donuts they were so friendly! We waited outside for our online order to be ready and the worker came out and told us the state of our order, calling us by name! Also we got there early for our order time and yet they were able to prepare it early for us anyways! After giving us the order they sincerely thanked us for our support. Overall so energetic, sweet, and most importantly - GREAT DONUTS.
Wizened One
My first visit to a made to order donut shop. The donuts were heavenly! Deep fried with a barely crisp outside, inside so soft, light, and fluffy. Service was warm and friendly. Be advised that made to order donuts are just that, and expect it to take about 15-20 minutes to actually make YOUR donuts, which are then handed to you, unlike a shop where prepared product sits on a shelf. Be prepared for the wait, it's definitely worth it!
Kaylee
Best donuts everrr, so light, amazing glaze, heavenly when hot
Great, friendly staff - thank you!!
Adam Biltz
The best doughnuts in Asheville, they always come out hot and fresh. We have gone multiple times this summer and we have loved all of the weekly flavors we have tried. The glazed doughnut is my favorite. Look forward to returning again.
Aviva Goldfarb
What a cool place, funky fresh donuts made to order with interesting flavors like orange cardamom.
AG HA
Wow! Amazing service and Doughnuts! These made to order treats aren’t the heavy cake kind but light yeast created. You can watch them make it right in front of you. There were 4 kind to choose from... I loved the mint Julep. Almond sesame was also tasty! Also want to point out that the service was incredible. Laurie was taking orders with a joyful attitude and bright smile.... she seriously impacted my morning in the best way!
Kelly Jaquish
Yummy! Tried three different types of donuts and was not disappointed. Will definitely return.
Ashleigh Harris
Definitely the most delicious and fresh donuts I've ever had. They're different in that they're misshapen, and their so fluffy and airy with a slightly crisp exterior. I love the vanilla, cinnamon sugar, and the almond sesame donuts. Just perfect.
Yuqi Mao
The doughnuts are amazing, the coffee is excellent, the service is top-tier, the experience is delectable, we will be back tomorrow for round two before ending our vacation in Asheville.
Jacob Elias
The lady that runs this place is probably the most friendly person I've ever seen in my life. The donuts are pretty great. A little pricey but worth it
Mike Vecc
Really nice location and building. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Donuts are super fresh as they are made to order. Don't think you can try up grab a bunch of do its and leave. It was slow today but a good 15min wait. Donuts were small for the price. Light and airy. Tasted super fresh. Not my style of donut.
Blair Eley
Great donuts! Got to try their Honey Lavender Earl Grey donut. Different and delicious! Also the staff was fantastic! Very friendly and welcoming. Awesome experience. I will be back!
Lindsey Perkins
The doughnuts are amazing (probably the best I’ve ever had) but the real reason to come here is the above and beyond customer service. Laurie is an earth angel who is a ray of sunshine every single time we come in. She will brighten your day AND bring you delicious doughnuts. It is always worth the wait!
Craig Kibbe
We have been going here since it opened and it is awesome! Doughnuts are fresh made as you order them...hot and wonderful! Order online, pickup at door. They bring orders out as they are finished. Staff is helpful and friendly!! Order up yall!!!
Marybeth Isley
These are actually the best donuts on earth. They are so mega fresh and made with love for each order. I’ve made them my quarantine habit and I have no regrets about that! As spectacular as the donuts are, the customer service is 100 times better. Laurie knew my name when I showed up for my SECOND visit. She knew me after one order. I thought it was possibly related to the fact that she sees my name on an order making it easier to remember me. But one time I showed up before placing an order and she still knew me! Seriously, come for donuts, stay for the sweet folks who put em in your hands!
Eric LaRue
A great change from regular donuts!
More substance like a fritter or elephant ear, but the donut shape leaves more soft and airy area inside too!
The best of both!
Plain vanilla was my favorite, but the daily flavor options are very unique and delicious. Some seemingly savory combinations brilliantly tweaked for a sweet surprise!
A must!
C T
Best donuts in the state! Make sure to get here early.
NastyCrab Man
Some good and bad things here.
First the bad:
- due to COVID orders must be made online through a somewhat frustrating system that either requires a Google or Facebook account. If you’ve made the mistake (as we did) of ordering when you get here you will likely stand around waiting a while (for us on Saturday morning - 40 minutes). You are unable to go inside which is understandable but there’s not much room outside the building which isn’t also shared by its awkward and small gravel parking lot.
- the donuts were really nothing to write home about. There were four variants to the traditional yeast donut and they all tasted about the same. Although the product was certainly fresh (cooked to order), it was far from the best donut I’ve ever had and by some folks’ standards this may not even be a particularly good donut. Ours was a bit over-cooked and not terribly sweet.
Now the good:
- it’s a cute place
- the owner(?) was incredibly accommodating, energetic, and kind which made for a nicer experience despite having an unexpected wait.
- both the hot and iced coffee we had exceeded our expectations
Overall I cannot recommend the donuts here which is a bummer. But as a life-long lover of donuts I encourage you to form your own opinion.
Robert Barcus
OMG!! Where do I start? Oh, I know where. I've had some really great donuts in my life, we all have I imagine. From Florida to Colorado to St Louis to Toronto to New Hampshire....BUT those donut shops didn't have Laurie working for them. Wow, Laurie...it was like at first sight and definitely LOVE at second sight. (We saw her many times bringing out orders) There are personalities that just click when you meet them and Laurie clicks with all personalities which is a gift that only a small segment of the population has. My wife and I just have to go back to Hole one more time before returning home to get some more of Laurie's love and energy.
Oh....and the donuts and coffee are AWESOME!!!
Trapper Pressler
Great experience. The staff is beyond friendly. Doughnuts are unlike any I’ve had before. They are made to order and like a sweet, fluffy bread. The cinnamon sugar and vanilla glazed were excellent.
Fran Schnell
We purchased the 1/2 dozen given 1. We tried the glazed, cinnamon sugar and cocoa powder and all 3 were delicious and warm.
Matthew Clements
Amazing vegan donuts! There used to be a two hour window on Friday nights when Hole would make vegan donuts and they were the most delicious, warm, satisfying donuts I've ever had, vegan or not. The cinnamon donut was basically a thick funnel cake that didn't leave you feeling disgusting. Apparently they were not popular enough and they had to stop offering them. Please, vegans of Asheville, voice your support and request the vegan donuts and then go buy them!
Shannon Griffith
Very good donuts. Cool concept, made fresh as you order! Selection is a bit limited because of the style, but the donut quality is outstanding! Definitely worth taking the time to check this place out. Will definitely stop back on our next trip to Asheville.
Chris Cleary
Love this place. Magically friendly folks making delicious donuts! Can’t go anywhere else for my donut fix! So glad they’re here.
L. Estevez
Fresh to order donuts, how can you go wrong?!?! Love the unique flavors, two thumbs up.
Debbie Moore
TRY THESE!! Wow. Crispy outside, not greasy, really enjoyed the vanilla glazed! Kinda like an amazing carnival treat, only not too sweet or greasy. We will definitely be back! Great donuts! Order ahead. Worth the wait!
Paul Lowder
incredible. fresh. amazing.
I don't know what I enjoyed more, the made-to-order donuts or the overflowing kindness of the staff. truly great
Jason W Pedrick
Never had a better donut, probably never will either. You just can’t beat these things when they come out hot! My fav is the toasted sesame, but there all fab. Laurie is really what makes this place special tho, she remembers everyone and makes you feel part of the family.
Mini Maddie
The doughnuts are made with the best ingredients and are DELICIOUS!!! They literally melt in your mouth. The staff is really nice too! It’s a place filled with pure southern hospitality. If I could give it more stars I would.
Debbie Pysz
OMG! Run don't walk. Order extras, they won't last past what you eat in the parking lot! Hello to Lori! The donut whisperer who never forgets a face! New customer? Lori will make you feel like part of the family. Delicious, hot, made to order donuts.
Lucy O
Great donut shop in Asheville. It’s our favorite place to stop from Nashville to chapel hill. We ordered online and pick up. Very fresh and nice. Love going there.
RoHo
Made a pit stop while visiting Asheville. Since the coof is still around, they did online orders only and brought it out to you. Doughnuts had a great taste with a crispy edge! Wish they had other flavors, but good nonetheless.
Kimberly Welter
Amazing, hot fresh donuts! Gina and Lori are such a delight and offered us some great local spots to visit while we explore Asheville! Highly recommend a stop (or several stops) here!
Sharon West
All I can say is Hallelujah! Wonderful. Laura is such an awesome host. Making all feel welcome. My first visit but most definitely not the last!
Andrew Blumhardt
That was a cool little spot. All of the donuts are made to order while you wait (and you will be waiting a bit if they are busy). They only had a few flavors, but the donuts we're pretty good. Definitely worth stopping by for the experience.
Phil C
Yummy AF! Love the donuts, like seriously in love with these. All others have an identity crisis, but these have their own unique and beautiful thing going on. The staff are happy and fun, even when the doors first open. If you're looking for a gimmick like a monopoly of types or toppings dumped all over your donuts, find another place. They typically have a few flavors of a single kind of donut made to order, hot and delicious. Plain and simple, but oh so good. So so good. Mmmmmm donuts. 😍
Michael Clark
The best donut shop in the country! That first bite of a fresh cinnamon sugar donut in the Holes parking lot hits different
Sarah Blackmon
Great place! We were running up from Grenville SC to see friends for a birthday and wanted to bring a sweet treat.
The doughnuts were so good! The best we’ve had at a shop. The woman who helped us was the sweetest and didn’t even let me feel dumb from not reading their door sign. Will def be back when we visit Asheville again.
Miss. Jordy C
This place is so cool. Make donuts fresh with local ingredients. Beautiful open space with plenty of indoor and out door seating. Holly was running the show and she was SO NICE. Took the time to learn my name. Was friendly and sweet to ever customer. It was heart warming to say the least. And the donuts, served warm and melt in your mouth. What a memorable experience. Thank you, Holly!
Dana McClay
I'd give them ten stars if I could! These doughnuts are so hot, fresh and absolutely incredible. With COVID, they are doing all online ordering (even if you are in person - you use a QR code to order online!). We waited 45 minutes for our doughnuts but it was worth every minute. Staff was so friendly and apologetic for the wait but they have no reason to be - these doughnuts are that good!
Order in advance and pay attention to pickup time to save yourself some outdoor hanging, if the wait bothers you!
Ana Spring
My favorite place donuts. Donuts made to order, doesn't get fresher than this. The flavors are changing weekly and are always a pleasant surprise. Coffee is good too. I only wish they were open longer hours. Can't make it there on weekdays and on weekends the line is out of the door. Good luck finding parking spot if they are busy, too. Definitely a must when in Asheville
Kaley Sarbacker
The gals working were SO nice, the shop was cozy, coffee hot, donuts fresh and DELICIOUS! Order all of them!
Emily Mellott
Best doughnut experience I’ve ever had. Went on a busy Saturday and when I came back Monday Lori remembered me and my order; her cheerful, enthusiastic welcome made my day twice. She apologized for the brief wait while my order was made fresh, but honestly, watching the doughnuts made is part of the fun, and the whole room feels friendly and fun to be part of. Outstanding chai spice doughnut, too! Best I’ve eaten.
Doug Hyman
My wife and I went to Hole Doughnuts on Valentine’s Day. The young lady that helped us gave us an amazing experience we’ll never forget. We’ll be back with friends and family. Great experience! Lived up to the hype.
Brian Bruemmer
I had no idea that doughnuts could be this good! Laurie has the most joyous and magnetic presence ever. She made us feel like regulars who had been coming every day for years. Best way to start a day in Asheville!
Carole C
Soooo good! Doughnuts are made seconds after you order. Served hot! Had the vanilla glaze and the molasses bourbon(or I think that was the flavor combo) not too sweet, these were perfection. Super cute store and crazy clean. Staff (owners?)were warm and friendly....enthusiastic about the items they were serving. So glad I stopped by!
Jackson B
These are, without a doubt, the best donuts I've had in my life. I traveled to Asheville a year ago and visited their shop, and a year later, I was ecstatic to see that their quality and customer service is still just as spectacular as my first visit. If it's available, I highly recommend the toasted sesame almond donut. It's nutty, crunchy, and (like all their donuts) so light and fluffy inside that it's like eating a sugary cloud.
nadnerb fuller
truly the best raised donuts I have ever had. yum x 1000!! fried to order, perfectly. the 5 minute wait was well worth it to watch your doughnut rise & fry before your eyes. i was surprised they were cheaper than other people said. thank you for creating this wonderful experience!
Alyssa Bowers
So delicious. Wasn’t expecting them to fry them fresh. They only have a couple of flavors per day, which was not what I’m used to at a donut shop, but makes sense for the type of fresh baked donuts they serve. They were perfectly crispy and soft on the inside. Cute and hipster experience. Worth going outside of downtown Asheville for.
Constance Bodurow
Just had a religious experience. Who knew a donut could be warm, crunchy, and soft all at once? There is certainly something to this frying by order approach! Staff was enthusiastic and friendly, even close to closing and on a rainy Saturday. Make this a must visit when next in Asheville!
pamela stutzman
This place is amazing! Our order got lost during a busy time, and we lost track of time watching them make the most delicious doughnuts ever. When we asked about our order they not only refunded our money (which, shh, I gave back as tip) they gave us one of each flavor. Completely unnecessary, but WOW they were all fantastic! The ladies working their hearts out are great!
C
These donuts. Are the best. This spot came highly recommend by many of my friends and now I will continue to reccomend it. The donuts, the coffee, and the service were all incredible. Despite the online ordering and contactless pick up the lady running orders still managed to be incredibly friendly and make a great impression. I can't wait to go back!
Kendal Hutto
No need to wait for a "hot" sign to come on, your doughnuts are cooked to order and come out hot! I love stopping by Hole anytime I'm in the Asheville area. The flavors are delicious and creative. Laurie is a fantastic host. She first welcomed us as a group of smelly backpackers and has congratulated us on the various milestones that we've achieved over the years. Looking forward to visiting for many years to come
Kaitlyn Arrington
This place has some of the BEST donuts I have ever had!! The lady who brought us our food was so sweet and made everyone smile, I think her name is Lori. You have to try this place!
Nidal Hamzey
Fried fresh to order, so so good. Their flavor of the day was Strawberry Glaz and black pepper, and omg, soo good! Order ahead on their site, and you won't have to wait to enjoy these, but then, sometimes the anticipation makes it better.
Annika Anchia
One of the best gems in west asheville. Doughnuts are made to order so they are fresh, hot, and interestingly flavored. Definitely recommend although the demand seems to have grown faster than the building and the staff. 2 years ago you could go in and expect to be served within minutes. Now you need to plan to wait 20-30 minutes if you go at peak times.
M Lewis
Made to order doughnuts! AMAZING FLAVOR!!! The variety is somewhat limited, so if you're picky call ahead to see what flavors they are offering. This place can get busy; go early. The staff is super friendly!
Kent Shaw
Wow! Donuts made to order. Exotic-ish flavors! And a great feel for the overall dine-in space. I would say that in my family we felt the vanilla glazed was definitely the winner. But only because it felt as though they had really surprised us with the tastes. Everything was great, though. And the coffee was piping hot!
Nikola Budisavljevic
Fantastic doughnut shop. Right now for Covid they require ordering online but they bring it right out. I recommend ordering 5-10 min before you get there if you don't want to wait.
Doughnuts are delicious. There's 4 options so just check online to see what's on the menu. There's also a little display outside that shows the 4 doughnuts available.
I didn't catch her name but the lady that brings out the orders is super friendly and made our day with her doughnut enthusiasm. Highly recommend!
Glenn Lozuke
You would be absolutely foolish if you came to Asheville and didn't visit Hole donuts. Warm, perfectly made and delicious! Love the owner's energy and connection with her customers. I would go to Hole everyday just for that!
Hunter McMackin
Great little place to have an amazing donut treat. Made fresh to order right in front of you. Get there early, before they run out of the day's favorite flavor. Good coffee as well!
Dominique Echard
The quality of the product is incomparable as is the friendly service. I really appreciate the beauty of a naturally risen doughnut that has chew, crispiness, deep flavor, and an almost custardy interior. Never have I eaten a doughnut without feeling awful from the sugary sweetness, but Hole is not afraid of salt which makes everything better and balances everything beautifully. The sesame as well as gin, grapefruit, fennel, and orange flavors were inspired and delivered on their promise. The vanilla glazed couldn't have been a more simple yet flavorful basic doughnut. The coffee to go, which I enjoyed black (only way to go), had notes of caramel and chocolate. I'm so glad I got a bag of beans to make french presses at home. I loved the charm of the building and logo, and I can't wait to visit again. The person running the food was so sweet and upbeat, she really made everyone's morning. Don't change a thing, it is genius that you have the daily flavors in a display case, can order online, and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. You all are putting out a fantastic product you should be very proud of. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Anthony Ramstetter, Jr.
By far (if not already apparent), one of the very best businesses in the region. Laurie & the rest of the staff go above & beyond at every opportunity to make you feel like a million dollars. It doesn’t matter what kind of day I’m having, Hole Doughnuts makes each day the best yet! Did I say “absolutely delicious”? A ‘must stop’ with the tastiest doughnuts that you’ll find anywhere.
Enoch C
Wait time can be a little long but honestly some of the best donuts I’ve had in my life.
Delta Whiskey
Well these are just stupid delicious. Get a 1/2 dozen, you will eat them, you know you will.
Hayley Barbour
Most delicious donuts I’ve ever tasted! Laurie is incredible and one of the most joyous people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting- makes you feel like an old friend!
Darla Schuerger
My FAV!!! Hi Lori! You Rock!
adam johnson
Best donuts I ever had! Incredibly friendly staff, I wish I could eat here everyday! They make everything to order and you have to order online.
Sandra Sumallo
Quaint venue. Genuine friendly staff. Out of this world donuts!
Jim Glaze
My daughter from Fargo, ND wanted to go by the "Hole" to pick up doughnuts on our way to Carolina Beach. We stopped by to find them sold out but only had to wait a few minutes before getting two dozen. These are not your everyday grocery store do-nuts. These are the best I have ever tasted. Go by and see for yourself why she wanted to try them. You will not be disappointed.
Michelle D'Andrea Maloney
Every doughnut is freshly made and flavored as it emerges from the fryer depending on the pending orders. This was definitely an artisan operation that the locals appreciate, making this place so popular. It was light, not cakey, and the simply dusting of flavors allowed the donut to shine. We were all so happy we ended up here!
tyler wellman
Great spot with unique, cooked-to-order doughnuts. They have four flavors, three constants and one they change up. They're delicious! It's got a great vibe inside and super friendly staff. Definitely get here a little early on the weekends. Line starts to go at the door after 9 on weekends.

Hole Doughnuts is unparalleled. Fresh, crispy light and airy - made in front of you donuts. Exceptional staff. Laurie will brighten your heart and lift your spirits. It's become a Saturday morning tradition at our house to walk down and grab some donuts + coffee. Sets the day off right. A MUST if you are weekend visiting.

Some of the best donuts of my life! Visiting from out of state, we were immediately welcomed and felt right at home. The customer service was fantastic here!! The lady that was the cashier at the front when we visited was super nice to us and was really awesome! Totally made our day!

Such a small, inviting building, great staff and smiles everywhere you look. The coffee is dark, rich and magical, but it has to be to be served along side these donuts. With just 4 flavors they have perfected them, a definite great wake up for any one

I absolutely cannot say enough about these consummate human beings! They gave compliments and positive comments to each person standing outside as they delivered each order. They wished our son happy birthday in such a loving way. What a gem of a business and a treasure. Many thanks for encapsulating the love of Asheville!

We arrived around 10:30am on a Sunday and should have ordered ahead online. We got one of each of the 4 doughnut options. Vanilla glaze and the cranberry cardamom tequila (rotating flavor) were our favorites. Cute storefront and COVID safe.

First of all, five stars for the donuts, they're great. They lost a star because when I ordered the "fresh squeezed" orange juice off the menu she pulled a jug of store bought stuff out of the fridge and poured it right in front of me. Definitely go for the donuts, just don't be fooled by the promise of fresh squeezed OJ.
Rani Watkins
Amazingly good donuts made right un front of you
Michael O'Halleran
Sesame donut was a crowd favorite! The donut emcee definitely made the experience. She hooked us up with reccs to Baby Bull for lunch, she really completed the “hole” experience. Fresh and delicious!

Donuts were amazing and fresh, the woman who was handling orders was so upbeat and welcoming. Gave online ordering a warm feel
**BEWARE, if you are allergic to bees send someone else for pickup. The sugar attracts a lot of bees right outside the door.**

The lady who took our order was kind and the doughnuts were amazing. Overall great experience👍🏼
They have 4 flavors and all of them were so good !! …
Jacob Cooper
This place is chock stock full of the nostalgic feeling of a oldschool hometown doughnut shop. Everything is made fresh to order. And dank as stamped grass.

I'm a yeast donut lady. My husband is a cake man. What we do agree about is how delicious these donuts are. This morning was my first visit (not my last!) to grab a half dozen for my coworkers at Bari. I ordered half cinnamon sugar, half glazed and one special of the day. I meant to eat the lemon one but when some one else took it, I wasn't even mad- I snagged two to take home, one of each, which tasted just as delicious 6 hours later.
The staff were also incredibly friendly and introduced themselves to me with the hopes of a lasting relationship. I know they don't need help promoting their business but I'm incredibly happy to add them to the list of great spots in West Asheville I'll recommend to my clients and hit up again and again.

Hole is a MUST when visiting AVL! The donuts are delicious! And to add more sweetness, the woman who brings them out is a gem! We will be back!

These donuts are what my dreams are made of- perfectly imperfect hand shaped circles of dough fried to perfection, glazed per your request & served piping hot. Very exclusive atmosphere, a quaint little home with a bar overlooking the kitchen, a few close-knit tables & standing room for to go orders. Coffee is also local and delicious!
Madeline Quinby
Super friendly staff, thanks for the delicious donuts!!
Roman Ignashkin
Great place, excellent donuts, love this family atmosphere!

I can't give this place 5 stars because I've had better doughnuts at half the price. The Donut Shop in Jacksonville, Florida has about 20 varieties, all incredible, and you can get a dozen for $9. A dozen from Hole Doughnuts is $30... and they only have 4 varieties. But I did enjoy my visit here, and the donuts are great. They are fried right in front of you, so they have a nice crispy exterior that you normally don't get with doughnuts.
Their website states "Our prices reflect our local ingredient choices and commitment to pay above living wage to our wonderful employees.". That's fair. But prices aside, I've had better doughnuts.
The interior is small with rustic decor and antique light fixtures. It's nice. The service was polite.
Meredith Walker
We visited twice in our three day visit to Asheville. Amazing customer service made us feel right at home remembering our name. We will 100% be back on our next monthly trip! Best donuts around! Thank you for making our day!

Worth every bite. Coffee was great, too! 🍩☕️ …

Donuts 4.5. Glazed 5 stars. Cinnamon 4.5 stars, sesame almond 4 stars.
They are using an online ordering system through a 3rd party that requires you to signup and enter card info through chownow.com. Never heard of it and now being spammed by them. Infuriating and confusing. We saw a half dozen people leave out of frustration. The experience tainted our tastebuds. It was kind of sad watching older people fumble over the online ordering and give up. Actually would not go back if they have the same system. Cash plus online ordering would have alleviated so many troubles.
Abby Fink
First off! Let me start by saying THANK YOU for not letting me sleep. I wake up every night dreaming and wishing I had these doughnuts ( This is a FACT)
SECOND, the amazing woman who calls out names is fabulous and needs to stop apologizing for people being impatient. She does an amazing job with the volume of people.
The craft that goes into these doughnuts is something that needs to be taken delicately, patiently and lovingly.
You may have to wait in line for a while, but please be patient because it is worth the 3 minutes of pure glory to your tastebuds. Salty, Sweet, Crunchy, Doughy with a hint of sticky!
I love this place and I literally am trying to find ways to get this place to open up in Charleston SC so I can finally sleep!
Blake Sorensen
This place was the real deal. Very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, good coffee and excellent donuts! The donuts are really in another league. Soft and flaky on the inside with a nice golden brown sear on the outside. I got a vanilla glazed donut and then ordered a second one because it was so good!
Amber Felton
AMAZING donuts! They are really taking COVID seriously by making you order online either before you get there or right when you arrive but even tho they are fried to order they come out in just seven minutes! Great concept and operation! Staff is insanely friendly and you can tell they just love what they do!
Jose Medina
Quick and easy. Order ahead with no problem. And quite possible the most friendly and kind staff anywhere. The donuts are unique and probably my favorite donuts ever.
Zack Williams
Good stuff! Not your average doughnut experience. The doughnuts are made to order and served hot. Only 4 options at any given time but there is still likely something there for everyone. Not an abundance of seating but I have yet to go and not be able to sit down to eat. Friendly employees and a cool environment as well.
Matt Lassiter
The women that run the place certainly do have fun! They're very welcoming and there's a stream of chatter that definitely livens things up. They had four flavors of donuts when I was in and I liked three out of the four. The three I liked were the vanilla glaze, cinnamon sugar and Autumn Orange although the Autumn orange could have been a little more orangey for my tastes. The fourth had sesame seeds on it and just wasn't my jam. The doughnuts have a great consistency and are a little chewy and they are certainly hot and fresh because everything is fried after you order it. The coffee also was good. Prices are reasonable and the decor is charming.
Linda Moreland
If you are traveling to Asheville over Easter. Stop and get these made to order fried donuts with local ingredients. Voted by Bon Appetite the best donuts in the state of North Carolina. A vanilla glazed is $2, Flavored $2.75. small coffee $2, Large coffee $2.50. Closed Mon and Tues. Other days 8a to 1p. Bagged coffee $12.50 🍩☕ half dozen $15
Ally Northam
Made to order yeast donut shop with only 4 flavors at a time. This is the best donut I’ve ever had. It is the perfect combination of a donut/elephant ear combo and a unique flavor of the week!
Samantha Sánchez
I have not wanted to get any other doughnuts after these. I love that they are not uniform like everyone else’s but instead handmade and delicious! I do like Krispy Kreme and dunkin donuts but they do not compare to Hole Doughnuts! The texture, taste, and atmosphere is great! I have also tried Sublime (doughnut shop in Atlanta) doughnuts and they are not as good as these. I love plain and simple doughnuts, nothing too crazy. I will say I have not tried many doughnut shops out there because of where I live (they do not have a market for them). I happened to come across this shop and was pleased! I will try to come again, thank you!
Jordan Dunn
If you’re looking for high quality, artisanal, and delicious donuts... look no further. The staff is incredibly kind. The donuts are phenomenal and unlike any I’ve ever had before. And the coffee is deliciously roasted at Pennycup Coffee Co. a stone’s throw away in Asheville. If you are in Asheville, you must go here!
Connor Granville
Making a trip to Asheville isn't complete without Hole. While availability past 12-1pm was once an issue, I've recently come several times past 1pm and they still had donuts left. They make a uniquely chewy, airy and rustic donut noticeably less sweet than the average. There are only 4 flavors with one flavor that rotates weekly, which is always delicious. I recommend getting one staple and one rotating flavor.
Alex R
Best most fresh doughnuts we’ve ever had, served up by the most hospitable generous energetic host!!
Allen Tufts
Hole is a gem of a donut shop with an amazing atmosphere ample natural light and a great way to start the morning. , Their donuts are the freshest you'll ever taste and the shop and staff are contagiously friendly and professional.
The offerings are limited which I assume allows for quality and exceptional and consistentcy as they are made to order right before your eyes.
The counter style seating allows visitors to watch the process, it's quite cool to see your donuts getting their flavored glaze applied piping hot and ready to eat. The coffee is fresh and hot and the cherry limeade donuts are my personal favorite.
Give it a try if you're in West Asheville you will not be disappointed and you'll leave 'hole'!

Website said they had the cocoa nib donut, they didn't. We tried all 4 only the cinnamon one was the best. Not impressed with the others. Heard vortex donuts was really good but we didn't try them. I would them if ever back and skip here.

Best donuts I have ever had in my life. Very polite customer service as well. Just get the regular glazed, you don’t need anything else in life.
Brad Watt
They make donuts. It's hard to make a bad donut. They don't make bad donuts.
Selection is small each day, donuts made constantly and fresh to order. The coffee is solid and the workers very personable.
Seating and parking are limited, so consider stopping by on the go.
Erica Stephens
The donuts are made to order so they’re always hot and fresh. I ordered the hard apple cider donut and every bite was like a burst of apple cider in my mouth. I’ve never had a donut like that! So good!
Heather U
Wow, these donuts were seriously good. Made fresh to order and they're nice and airy almost like a fried dough. Next time I'm even remotely close to Asheville, I will be back. We tried all four flavors so we wouldn't miss out!
Courtney Cherry
Hands down, the best doughnut I've ever had! Worth the wait and you get to watch them make the doughnuts. The most friendly sweet staff! We were just visiting but we'd definitely come back when were back in town!
marina moreno
Amazing doughnuts and super friendly owner!! Some of the best we've tasted. Online orders only right now though.
Sean Crook
Get 'em while they're hot! Enjoy these "cronut" style donuts fresh out the fryer. Perfectly sweet and soft, these will change the game for you. Flavors are simple, usually only three or four, and there's no need for more. Taking your first bite brings pure bliss. This has to be a morning stop on your Asheville adventure (just not on a Tuesday).
Nathanial Dupont
It's such a quirky and fun place! They make the donuts right in front of you and they don't just offer your generic glazed and chocolate frosted donuts - try Chinese 5 Spice on for size, or cherry almond amaretto! Depending on who is working, you may even end up getting a bit of a comedy show 😂 …
Joseph Hall
OMG, this place was so good! I saw it on "Places to visit in NC" They have 4 flavors, cinnamon sugar, glazed, five spice, almond/sesame and ALL were amazing! The store is quaint and Lori was the most pleasant person I've ever come in contact with.
AMAZING

These are the BEST, BEST donuts ever to grace the Earth. Wowzah, I can not even begin to describe the immense joy you feel while eating each bite. Each order is made fresh, just for you. So, that means the donuts are fresh, hot, soft, and perfectly delicious! My family and I traveled several hours to get here after seeing their rave reviews. This shop was listed as the TOP donuts in NC. But in all honesty, I think they are the best donuts in the world!!! I also wanted to shed light on a woman who worked there with reddish curly hair and an upbeat personality. I think she is the owner, but regardless, she was an absolute doll! She interacted with each customer she met and kept them updated on the status of their order. She checked in with us to see if there was anything else we needed to improve our (already exceptional) experience, which shows how much she went the extra mile. I’m looking forward to the next time I'm in Asheville so that I can get my hands on these puppies. Get the glazed and cinnamon sugar; they are worth all the calories.
Bekah Stanley
Amazing donuts. And even more amazing service. The staff was so welcoming. Even though the donuts are made fresh to order, we had them so quickly! I only wish that I had ordered more than 1 donut!
Sebastian Tous-Bryant
Hole doughnuts serve what I consider the best fried dough goods anywhere in the world. They keep it simple and fresh...four doughnuts..one is a special flavor of the week. They make them fresh to order and They are perfection. The coffee is really good too. My wife and I are always on the lookout for the new flavor. Their standards...glaze, cocoa rub, and sesame almond are incredible, too.
Thomas Adams
I've been here twice and really like it. You can watch your donut cooking and then decorated. The help is always friendly and the donut flavors are creative and tasty. A small but great place to start your day when you explore West Asheville.
Scott Vittitow
I thought it was only ok but my wife loved it. The staff was really friendly and the fact they cook the doughnuts fresh while you wait is really cool. The downside for me was there were only four flavors to choose from and they were all rather unique. If they had something more traditional like a cinnamon and sugar doughnut I would probably put it in my top three all time doughnuts but that just me.
Albertina Chu
Really impressed by the quality of customer service and craftsmanship for these donuts. Something truly incredible that you won't get anywhere else. Highly highly recommend!
Kelly Killeen
A must stop in Asheville. Best doughnuts in the world.
Jeremy Higgins
Ordered the night before. Pickup time was 10 a.m , picked up at 9:45. Ordered 6, their were 7 when I ordered. Best donuts in town.
