Reviews of Hero Doughnuts
Flavorful, substantial doughnuts with interesting toppings. Way too sweet for my taste but highly praised by most everyone that I know. I almost dropped to 3 stars because at 1:30 pm on a Saturday all filled doughnuts were gone.
Cute and cozy place that I really enjoyed visiting! I’ve never been before, but I will definitely be returning. I got the half dozen donuts: glazed, chocolate, pistachio, Will’s favorite, strawberry, and bread pudding. The bread pudding was DENSE, but still really good! My all time favorite was the Will’s favorite. It had buttercream and fresh strawberries in between a cut glazed donut. The donuts here were the perfect cross between fluffy and cakey! The service was really friendly and nice too! I will be coming back!
SUPER clean! YUMMY food! NICE people! BEAUTIFUL scenic view of Homewood Park from inside, or from the cute outdoor tables! We'll definitely be back!
This is your spot if you have a sweet tooth!! Lots of variety. Cool place to sit down inside too. Happy I tried this place out!
All the food there is straight fire! Burger, fire! Donut, fire! Super crunchedchicken sandwich, fire! These are most likely the best donuts in the universe but I haven’t been outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Next time Elon, Bezos and I take a tour of space I’ll get back to y’all.
Perfect for those who can’t decide on sweet or savory breakfast — get the best brioche breakfast sandwich with BEC, then share a specialty donut with someone! Good amount of seating, great coffee, quick service. Cute takeout window for to-go orders outside too! Highly recommend the blueberry crumble donut and any BEC situation on the brioche. Hash browns are shareable and delicious too.
Crazy good fresh made daily in store unique doughnuts and all sorts of other delicious goodies! Once again a Homewood home run! This dozen is their regular set ( G.O.A.T.S in the menu) minus strawberry. Fair price for the quality☺️
Good donuts but $$. Got 2 dozen for $69 (!) - birthday donuts for son’s class. Was in a time crunch and couldn’t turn around to go elsewhere. They’re good, but not that good. You’re paying the location, the # employees, the interior design etc. I could’ve done better at Pastry Arts for that price….
A pleasure every time I go. But I wanted to mention that I contacted them before my son’s birthday which was Halloween themed even though it was in July (yes, it’s weird). I asked if they could make some orange and purple icing donuts, since I assumed they didn’t have Halloween decor in hand in July. I was clear that I wasn’t expecting them to go all out, just a bit of orange and purple if they had it. Not only were they super sweet and helpful, they went all out with bat shaped sprinkles and beautifully decorated Halloween themed donuts. They were a huge hit! I’m so thankful! They were so easy to work with. Even if my son was not crazy about their donuts in the first place, I would make a point of going more (as if we’re not there all the time already). Thank you Kristen!
Absolutely amazing. I got the bacon/egg/cheese sandwich with the crack sauce and pepper jam and it is the best sandwich I believe i have ever had!! I got the combo that came with hashbrowns and coffee. Also, very good. And to top it off I had the donut holes which were so delicious!! Friendly staff!
Damn good doughnuts. We were at the VIP tent at Furnace Fest and experienced them first that led us to coffee, a Mimosa pitcher and doughnuts a day later at their store.. Great little place to do a quick breakfast.
A gem in Homewood! There is usually a bit of a line/wait in peak weekend morning hours but we hit it a little early on a Sunday and got served right away. The donuts are large, delicious and worth the price!
Very fashion place, great service, clean, good decoration, tables inside and outside, we ordered breakfast and it was very good. We tried the pistachio donut and the original. They were very yummy. They have parking lot.
I finally gave this place a try. I must say it was Very Delicious!! Anna took our order, recommending to us the Hero Burger. I chose the double with fries. The burger was very delicious, from the tasty sauce as well as presentation. I loved the fries, as I believed they were seasoned well. Although my brother thought they were a tad salty. I also got the sweet tea, which was excellent!! Although I didn’t have room at the time, I purchased a couple donuts to go. The Blueberry Crumble and Coconut. They tasted wonderfully and seemed of a rather light dough than what I’m used to. Not bad just different.
I’ll definitely be returning, to try the other yummy menu options. Come early while the donut selection is fresh. The outside appearance was very welcoming and inside was clean & comforting.
Great place, highly recommended for food. My complaint about not giving a military discount has been fixed Thank you Hero Donuts. But I just visited today again being I was in Birmingham and love this place.
A very different type of donut. So light and airy. Nice flavors that weren’t too intense. Not too sugary sweet and didn’t make me sick after eating a few. The sugar and spice and pistachio were awesome.
Very very good but also pricey. A burger, drink, and donut was $20.
But overall would recommend, donuts are always amazing
Great atmosphere, service, and food quality. First time eating here and planning on making this a go to spot!!
The coolest concept with great options for breakfast and lunch. Good coffee, amazing donuts and a super friendly staff. Very clean, lots of seating, and easy parking. Recommend!
I'm not normally a breakfast sandwich person. But, their Fried Chicken Folded Egg Breakfast Sandwich came highly recommended. I tried it and MAN, am I glad that I did. That was some off-the-charts sandwich. Really, go to Hero Donuts and get their Breakfast Sandwich with fried chicken. It will be a good morning.
Omgawwwww!!! Hero's Donuts in Homewood's MAPLE Donuts are the BOMB!!!!! Fantastic. Perfect. Precisely the right mix of thick, buttery glaze drenched over tge tops of them, and if you're lucky enough, running down all sides of each donut and underneath or outwards drying into thick little chunks of splendid nibbles of glazed icing for when everyone's eaten them all but you're just CRAVING a weee bit more of that amazing glaze, so you open that empty box and have some more of their divine maple-flavored glaze that remains inside the box and the wax paper 😋😚<chef's kiss> ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Special mentions for Patrick, who makes such superb mocha lattes for me (personally, his hot ones are the best in the 'Ham), and to Hannah, who makes THE most excellent iced mocha lattes in the 'Ham! Simply yummy!😋
Everybody needs a HERO⭐️ Will and his team have perfected their product and it’s hard not to go out of my way just to snag one of their amazing donuts. Hands down the best in town and my all time favorite is blueberry cake doughnut followed by the strawberry or the pistachio! I love their new expanded seating area as well and it makes it easier to bring both kiddos with me!
Love this shop for so many reasons! Donuts are so delicious and fresh, though the owner isn't afraid to venture out and try new ideas and flavors. They also offer burgers and kolaches if you're in need of a savory treat. The kiddos love it and the location across from the park couldnt be more perfect! Thanks for everything!
The name Hero is true! These donuts 🍩are so good make you want to slap Superman momma lol …
Awesome donut shop! I’m a big donut fan and really enjoyed my visit. Everything was very clean and fun. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Safe pandemic food handling practiced! Donuts were delicious. Highly recommend.
Their donuts are great. They are expensive but really good. Worth the treat. Awesome. Their lunch is just expensive. Paid $12 for a Tiny burger and maybe 8 fries. It was good but I guess we all just have too much money in our pocket.
First time here- absolutely loved this experience! The breakfast sandwiches are so good and the doughnuts are some of the best I've ever had!!
Hashbrowns are amazing with a huge awesome selection of donuts.
Damn good doughnuts, damn good coffee! The doughnuts are so fluffy, and the variety ingredients are unique and interesting. I love their pistachio doughnut.... And their crafted sandwiches!! So good.
This is certainly not an ordinary doughnut shop. The prices are fairly high and the doughnuts are fairly high quality. I had a doughnut and cup of coffee. The coffee was great and the doughnut was good but not good enough for me to even remember what kind it was. I prefer a more ordinary doughnut and, though the coffee was great, the atmosphere here is not relaxing, I probably won’t return very often.
It was a bit over priced for them to have gotten my order wrong. It was one doughnut off, but it was one we wanted. You're looking at a little more than $30 to get wrong doughnuts. Oh and they didn't have fruity pebbles like you'll see in the pictures. Tasted like an average doughnut, nothing special.
Loaded hash browns are terrific. I do wish coffee was a bit better, perhaps a dark roast option?
Their fried bologna sandwich was amazing, it has to be the best I have ever had! Their donuts are also wonderful and their customer service was exceptional! We will definitely make a point to stop here any time we find ourselves driving through again.
Fabulous Labor Day morning at Hero Donuts! I appreciate they were open on a holiday, as not a lot of places were. We got a peach fritter, salted maple donut, mini strawberry malt and a sausage/egg/cheese sandwich. The regular donuts and fritter were HUGE; the "mini" donut is the size of a regular anywhere else. All four items came to $17, so it wasn't a cheap morning but it was GOOOOOOD food. Everything had an original taste, was sweet without being overpowering, and was true to the description. We took our orders to-go and ate at the park across the street. Wonderful experience!!
The Loaded Hash browns, Big A** French toast was delicious. Will be ordering again. 👍🏿👍🏿 …
With delicious brioche donuts, and an ever-expanding menu of quality breakfast and lunch items, hero donuts is a one-stop shop for quality. It feels as if they do not add anything to the menu until they perfect it, a process many other places should learn from and follow.
The donuts are more like pastries than your traditional donut. If you've not tried it, it needs to be the next location on your list!
I wish I could have given this place a higher rating, but I wasn't able to try their doughnuts. I was really disappointed. They were out of doughnuts. We did however decide to try their lunch options. We tried a single cheeseburger, the spicy chicken sandwich, and the regular chicken sandwich. The sandwiches come with a bag of Golden Flake chips. I must say, the bread/bun option is the star of the sandwich. They are made in house and have a mild sweet note. My favorite sandwich was the spicy chicken sandwich. It was just the right amount of heat. I would order again but this time I would add blue cheese. I think it would elevate the sandwich. Very clean, cute location right across the street from the park. The restrooms were clean and so was the sittting area. Enjoy!
I have been here once and have ordered delivery once. Both times the donuts enabled me to create beautiful moments because they are phenomenal and made fresh. Love this place!
Good donuts and chicken sandwiches here. Usually busy but they are on time when I order ahead.
great and friendly service!! The loaded hashbrowns are amazing!! Crispy and delicious sauce with jam!!! Go see them!!
Do yourself a favor - get a dozen doughnuts, or more, and then get ready to eat them and be amazed. They've got standard types (Boston Cream, Glazed, etc.), but they also have unique and wild creations that are only available for a limited time. But that's good news, because it gives me an excuse to keep going back to see what's new.
Amazing sandwiches and great doughnuts too. The doughnuts are a little pricey but they are delicious. Love the atmosphere of the place too. I’m from out of town but I love swinging by there whenever visiting Birmingham. Highly recommend.
2nd time going here. That porkchop sandwich was the Bomb. Crispy n Tender 😋😋 love the hashbrowns always n also they have very delicious 🍔 …
Good food, but very expensive. A sandwich alone or a chicken nuggets combo meal for 1 person can cost $15.00.
What an awesome joint. I had the loaded hash browns and they were phenomenal!! My only complaint is that I’m visiting town, so I can have this more often.
A++++
Donuts are great, Parker house rolls, and breakfast like this.
Delicious homemade doughnuts! Maple sea salt! Christmas carols and friendly staff make this your next favorite stop.
Always fast service and amazing sandwiches. The breakfast sausage fried egg and cheese sandwich gets me out of the bed in the morning. Then there’s the donuts which have to be the best I’ve ever had in my life.
Great donuts and I've heard great things about the burgers. Plus they start their workers at $15/hr!
Delicious donut but even better breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, cheese, crack pepper sauces and pepper jelly.
Really love this place. The donuts and hashbrowns are sooooo good! The customer service is great as well.
Had a great experience here! I ordered breakfast and went back to get a donut for a friend. They were out of what I wanted but made some more before I left. The manager let me have it for free since I waited. I really appreciate this type of service. Also, the food is 💯… plus, good coffee …
I am currently on vacation with my family and we were craving some donuts so we decided to stop here- best decision ever. The staff was so friendly and the donuts were amazing! If you are on vacation and looking for a good breakfast place you should definitely check it out. They have so much seating and they even have seating outside as well!!!
Wow! A charming donut shop nestled within a quaint village-like community that's conveniently located across from a mentally and physically stimulating park, making it a great option for families with small kids.
Although the donuts were "no joke amazing," the breakfast sandwich was equally decadent and having a quality cup 'o joe was hard to beat.
I definitely would recommend this spot to anyone interested in high quality yummyness!
Excellent Donuts! The vanilla creme filled donut was the best I've ever had. The overall quality, flavor selection and presentation is amazing. But be warned, the donut holes were a bit dry and just OK and the fresh squeezed orange juice was a bit watery. They are very proud of their donuts and have priced them accordingly. If they brought them down to the $2 and under range, I'd give them 5 stars. That said, I'll be back, just not as often as I'd like to go. When a family of 5 has to drop close to $20 for just 1 donut a piece, it puts it out of range for a regular destination. I WILL be back to try their more reasonably priced hamburgers and chicken sandwich someday. They looked delicious.
Update: the burgers here are excellent and the crispy buffalo chicken sandwich is amazing. No really...it's worth fighting the often tight parking to grab lunch here.
Best doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches in town. Lunch is great too. We are regular patrons. Service is amazing. Highly recommend. They do get busy on Saturday mornings though
Nice little doughnut shop, overpriced, got a breakfast sandwich and kolache for a hefty total of $20! Kolache wasn't very good, breakfast sandwich was okay. Four stars are for atmosphere and friendless.
The strawberry donut was very good but everything else was ok. The fluffy brioche dough they use is amazing. Flavor was just lacking. Such as the cinnamon donut. I think they just sprinkle cinnamon into the dough. The decor and area are adorable. It's just very trendy and but could step it on the food offerings in the flavor department.
Whoa. I didn't expect to like this place but now I know why its sooooo popular!
Not only are the donuts FANTASTIC, but the sandwiches are amazing!
Loved the burger. Loved the chicken sandwich. Loved the breakfast sandwiches.
The staff was SUPERB.
I'd recommend to anyone looking for a fun breakfast, brunch or lunch spot.
Everywhere else in the area usually has a LONG wait for brunch whereas Hero Donuts had a short line with quick, kind and helpful service....whereas everywhere else in the Homewood area is usually an hour wait for brunch!
Do yourself a favor and GO.
Best Doughnuts is Birmingham!! I love the yeast dough that they make. I also love that they only put the sugary stuff on top. I absolutely hate when doughnut shops double glaze ...it’s way too sweet for me. Anyway, very unique flavors and fresh. Yum!!!
I rarely leave reviews but there was no way I couldn’t leave a review after tasting the food. I got breakfast delivered trough doordash I have never enjoyed a bacon egg and cheese sandwich as much as I did. The sauces really make everything so much better. Although I got it delivered the hash browns were still crispy. So good!! Great job!! Can’t wait to actually visit.
Neat local donut shop. Great selection of donuts. Coffee was hot and fresh. Dine in or take away. Limited parking in front and plenty on street around the building. Take away window so no need to go inside. Nice small public park with children's playground across the street. Park was clean and tidy. Small stream on one side. Walk the park or sit and enjoy your tasty treats. The experience is best when shared with a friend.
Doughnuts were decent. Ive been spoiled by a 40 plus yr old doughnut shop back in Michigan before moving here last yr. But they are good. The wife had a breakfast sandwich which should have been way hotter than it was for the wait we had for it. Kind of a bummer because I've been looking forward to trying their burger and that took away from that need. I will say they have some damn good hash browns though.
A little pricy but when you see them making fresh food and donuts in front of you- worth it!!! We will be back
I've had donuts from 6 other local places in Birmingham and these are THE BEST I've had yet. They're quite large yeast donuts, very fluffy and airy yet they still feel substantial with each bite and not too greasy. It's fun to watch the donuts get glazed, sometimes one at a time for specialty flavors, and you can tell they handle each individual donut with care. The place is clean and has several tables, as well as very nice bathrooms. They have some other menu options such as breakfast sandwiches and different drinks. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be going back when the need for a donut strikes!
Whole experience was fantastic, the atmosphere was incredible! The food was absolutely delicious ! Hero's breakfast plate is a must try, along with Wil's donut 🍩 …
Man this place is good. The donuts, fritters (the apple fritter was the best I've ever had), breakfast sandwiches, and the sausage rolls were all super good. I can't wait to come back and try a burger!
Why haven’t you eaten here yet?! Doughnuts are amazing and the Hero Burger is probably my favorite in Birmingham. Some of my faves are the classic, Nutella, pistachio and raspberry filled. Fillings are homemade. The homemade pickles and sauce on the burger are so good! Staff is friendly too and they always remember the regulars. Just a heads up, customers order at the counter and then find seating.
The staff is amazing and will for sure go back. The only issue I could say is I wish the orange juice was in a bigger cup for 2.50 buy still was freshed squeezed.
So many delicious options. And they serve breakfast!!!
There hamburgers and Ranch fries was good. Go bye and chees it out
Doughnuts are delicious and very big in size and flavor. The only downsize is they are very expensive at close to $4 each.
Fantastic doughnut holes!! Mimosas were some of the best I've ever had, delicious fresh squeezed orange juice. All of the staff were friendly and the order came out quickly. And the place was absolutely spotless!
Delicious doughnuts, great coffee, and incredibly friendly staff!
Great burger! H&F imo is the best burger in ATL. Hero’s was surprisingly good. And its budget friendly, $8.50 for a double. They were out of most doughnuts by the time I got there, but will definitely be back and looking forward to satisfying my sweet tooth!
Best doughnuts in the country is all I got to say🔥food us delicious as well and that orange juice is so delicious …
Hero Doughnuts is a fantastic place for breakfast and lunch. Their doughnuts are wonderful, but I order the burger more often. It's easily one of the best in Birmingham. The fresh baked buns make a huge difference. Service is always friendly.
We’ve supported Hero’s since they were a pop up. Excellent drip coffee and insanely delicious donuts amid a sparkling clean environment. Although, I’d like to know why the cashier always seems unhappy as she’s one of the first people folks will see in their day.
I had the fried egg and cheese as well as the bourbon pecan pie donut. Listen.... I had heard the food was delicious, but that was the best fried egg and cheese I've ever had. I don't even know what type of sauce was on it, but it was sooooo good. When I got home I popped the donut in the microwave and it was pretty good too.
Unique place with fantastic doughnuts and equally good coffee. They have a lot of interesting flavors, and it's right across from the park so it's the perfect place to stop for a treat. Their chicken sandwiches are also very good and worth trying if you're nearby.
Tried the burger today and a vanilla Cream doughnut. Both were good. The bun on the burger was fantastic but I felt the actual burger could have used a little more seasoning. There’s a great selection of fresh doughnuts and pastries. What a great addition to Homewood and got to love a thriving local business. Would love to see them add fries.
The bread pudding doughnuts were fabulous.
Wow! From the minute you walk in, until the minute you walk out, you will be amazed. The actual food menu is small but everything on it absolutely wonderful. The dining area is small, but the atmosphere is wonderful. They offer a very large assortment of specialty doughnuts, as well as the tradition glazed. The filled doughnuts are definitely my favorite. They seemingly use real, made from scratch, ingredients to create their filling--it's as if the fruit was just picked from the tree instead of some run-of-the-mill concentrated ingredients made to taste like fruit. You also get to watch the staff make doughnuts while you wait for your order which is really cool. They also had cold brew coffee and draft beer available. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. They were quick to serve their customers, even with some very large orders being placed. I can definitely see why they are #1. I don't think I'll be buying doughnuts from anywhere else any time soon. Keep up the good work, Hero Doughnuts
The doughnuts were good. Albeit a bit on the pricey side. But what was really amazing was the egg and cheese sandwich. They use some kind of condiment that is sweet tangy and spicy all at the same time. Quite good.
Stopped by there to sample their doughnuts, selection was a bit limited at 11:00 am. They looked good, a bit pricey but wanted to give them a try. The person behind the counter must have been having a bad day as he was very short and condescending. We bought just one doughnut and left, both of us shaking our head at the service. Maybe it's their schtick?
The donuts are good. That's it. I can get a whole meal for less than one breakfast sandwich here that tastes better.
If you do get a sandwich be sure to ask for no pepper jam and no crack sauce. They both take away from the great taste of a breakfast sandwich.
Light, fluffy much better than any Krispy Kreme or Dunkin. The best donuts I have had in my 18 years of living!!
Great donuts. Really good selection.
What a place for donuts! If you are a donut "nut" like me, then you will not be disappointed! The apple fritters are devine and if you like vanilla cream, all I can say is Wow! Be prepared to spend a little bit more, but worth it. I will be back!
Great service and help with ordering as a new customer. The burger is outrageously good, and it easily makes one of my top 5 favorite burgers. Plus the raspberry donut with sprinkles was a neat twist. I'll be stopping in again next time I visit Birmingham!
Yummy! The only way to describe the goodies at Hero Doughnuts. From the oversized apple fritters and cinnamon rolls to the cake blueberry and iced strawberry doughnuts, we love them all. Our friends seated across from us at the communal table were having hamburgers at 10 am -- they tell us they are some of the best in Birmingham too!
Always delicious! The breakfast sandwich and cinnamon roll are great. Super expensive compared to Yo-yo Donuts down the street, but if gormet is way you’re going for, it’s great.
Always delicious and always full of new and interesting flavors. They are efficient and helpful especially when coming in on the way to work in order to get doughnuts en masse for the office! Every time I go I get the sweet stuff, see the menu and tell myself I'm trying the chicken sandwich next time.. maybe next time!
Wow! Excelent place. The food is incredible. The staff is fantastic. If you like popular places, this is the one, but be ready for a long wait if you get there at the same time of the soccer little league 🤪. We waited and the wait was worth. Sorry by the time we get our food we were soooo hungry that we didn't take any pictures of the donuts and buns.
Just had a wonderful, Saturday breakfast at Hero! The Loaded Hashbrowns and the Kolache were the winners! Very excited to see the fresh-squeezed OJ machine, too...reminded us of our trip to Europe! What a great location and friendly place! Will visit again and again!!!
Most definitely recommend! First time here, didn’t know what to expect but the vanilla latte and the donut flavors are excellent!
Excellent doughnuts. Fantastic yogurt/granola parfait (yes, at the donut place). Good service. Atmosphere is only so so and it's loud and bright in there.
$3.30 for a small, plain black coffee. THAT WAS ALREADY IN A THERMOS. If I’d known it was going to be $3 i would’ve went to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts to get something better. Their doughnuts did look good though. -- Update: Changing my review from 2 stars to 4 stars. I was not happy about the price of my coffee, but I do appreciate the response from the owner (see response below). Thank you so much and if I am in the area again maybe I will try something else from the menu.
This is THE BEST Donut place in Birmingham. The donuts are pricey when compared to national chains like Krispy Kreme or Dunkin. Most are $3.50 each. But the donuts are large, and very unique, and full of flavor! I would make a recommendation, but their flavors change seasonally, and there is always new stuff to try. I have loved every donut I've had there.
So burger was really good, fries were all tiny like I got the end of the bag, but the only reason I’m not leaving a better review is the music. Blaring Christian Rock and Ska. Annoying AF.
My wife’s favorite donut shop. Recently came by and the kids didn’t like the breakfast sandwich (too spicy for them) but Brian was super nice and replaced it with one that they loved.
I love the decor and the staff is nice. The caramel cream doughnut is delicious! The glazed I bought could’ve used more icing to cover the whole doughnut, but overall it was good.
I’m changing my review to 5 stars because the Homewood is the best doughnut I’ve ever had!
Great service! People that care. Food was good. Crunchy chicken was quite crunchy. I wish they had fries. The donuts all looked good, but sweets aren't really my thing.
Try the fro-nut. Seriously. If you love icecream or frozen yogurt and you love donuts, try the fro-nut. You will have to eat it right away, but it's definitely worth it. In addition to that, they are also the only shop I've found in town so far that sells lemon cream filled donuts. Those two donuts alone are enough to die for. And you don't have to feel guilty about going their either. There is a park right across the way where you can get all your kids energy out or walk off those calories before going home.
Great donuts...but $34 for a dozen?!! I can't even...
I love hero doughnuts! Their breakfast bun sandwiches are the best thing you could ever put in your mouth, I recommend this place over any other place in homewood if you are looking for a good breakfast. ❤️
This place is sooo cute!! The Doughnuts were amazing and the staff was so friendly!! We really enjoyed it.
The hamburger is good but small. the chicken sandwich is what you should get if you go here for lunch… It has jelly on it as well as some sort of romalade sauce that taste amazing together. Obviously you should get a doughnut but the chicken sandwich stole the show for me
This is Homewood's ONLY sweet spot on Sundays!!! Savages, Cookie Fix, TCBY, Dreamcakes, and Pastry Art are ALL closed on Sundays! But not Hero Doughnuts. I am so glad I can always serve my sweet spot on Sundays, thanks to Hero Doughnuts.
Their Boston creme donuts are unreal!!!!! Hands down best donuts in town. They also make chicken sandwiches that are spicy for my taste but everyone seems to love them.
They are good doughnuts, but not my favorite. Even though they are not my favorite they are still good doughnuts
YummOHLicious. Nice staff. I sad I can't get fruity pebble one. My reason for going once my co-workers mentioned it & Hero... But I've had the cinnamon roll. & oh my yummy. It was gigantic. Mom said it tasted buttery. 😋 & since I've tried the bread pudding. Deelish. My next one will be the fronut. A 🍩 with frozen custard inside!😲. I tasted the custard...😩it's so good it hurts. U can see the specks on vanilla bean😁. Hero is MY hero. Until next time. I will get u one day fruity pebble.
Oh good GOD !! I thought KK hot now ‘s were decadent. These are amazing! It’s that kind of doughnut that you take a bite of ( the first time ) unexpectedly, and your eyes get really really BIG. Mmmm. I haven’t had a ton of flavors because I’m in love with my standard custard filled chocolate on top. But this is no ordinary custard. It’s got vanilla Bean flecks and there’s LOTS. and the chocolate on top? This is no ordinary chocolate either. There are a little round chocolate “crunchy balls”. The combination of the real vanilla bean custard and the chocolate crunchy balls makes me do a little dance in my seat when I’m eating the donuts.
I love a good doughnut shop and this place does not disappoint! As great as the doughnuts are, I found myself impressed with the other options you'll find here. The fresh squeezed Orange Juice, breakfast items, and even burgers... At a doughnut shop! It's a great place with a friendly staff and fast service!
Very delicious donuts! We were served quickly with kindness. Very clean & fun atmosphere. The tv was on nick which is always a perk when you have a toddler with you.
As strange as it may sound they have one of the better burgers I’ve ever had. They cook it perfectly and have homemade pickles. Their burger here and Chez fon fon are really close for my favorite in Birmingham. This one is half the price so for the value it may be number 1.
This place is so solid. They do what they do extremely well which is something I always appreciate. Keep it simple. Great donuts, kolaches and burgers
Great service and great food. Always a chill atmosphere as well. You should go here even if you don't like donuts, their potato rolls are fantastic as well.
You can see the team making the dough daily! These aren't shove in your mouth donuts-although you could- these are quality handmade donuts that you want to savour. They put out a beautiful product so if you're an instagrammer in need of a "Donuts are my life" or "but first donuts" pic then your're set! If you are a foodie and just want good food then you're really set!
Amazing doughnuts, fun flavors.
Legitttttt breakfast sandwiches. So good! Doughnuts are delicious too. I'm so glad we have this little gem in our neighborhood. I love this place.
Very good hamburger's hit the spot 👌 …
I usually don’t review places, but I had the pistachio donut from here and I’m pretty sure it was the most magical thing I’ve ever eaten. It was my first time trying this place and I’m glad there’s another local place to push my friends on.
The loaded hashbrowns are the best hashbrowns I’ve ever had. That pepper jelly, the jalepenos, and the sauce made every bite the perfect balance of heat, sweet, and savory. Kudos!
FINALLY...Hero Doughnuts has opened up a location. I got hooked on these from trying a lemon one at one of the punk rock flea markets they set up at in downtown. I got hooked, but could only catch them at Pepper Place...now they've opened up a beautiful shop next to Nabeel's (also good). They're so nice here, and these doughnuts are my favorite in B'ham. Check 'em out!
The Boston Cream is the best doughnut you'll have. The staff is amazing, especially Emily at the register.
Great doughnuts. Very large and tasty. A bit pricey and limited selection but like I said, very tasty. Will have to go back again and try the sandwiches and other things. Welcome to Homewood.
Great selection of food and is affordable pricing. Sweet treats for your sweet tooth
Great food and doughnuts but horrible online ordering. Tried 3 times over 3 months
Had to prove to them on my smartphone. Gave me the wrong filled doughnuts after not finding my order
Coffee and doughnuts are amazing, strawberry and peanut butter crisp are my favorite. Will be back again!
Nice, small doughnut shop. It can be hard to find parking during busy times. The toppings are incredible. The base doughnut is okay; which may be the point as it lets the toppings shine.
The service was excellent and my doughnuts and cinnamon roll were decadent. I will definitely be going back to try the burgers. I love the fact that they are right across the street from Homewood Park and Recreation Center.
Great coffee, great sandwiches, and of course, great doughnuts. The service is great, and I love the expanded dining room.
Best burger around Birmingham. Service has always been good. Get a doughnut for dessert. Can't wait for more locations.
Best donuts you'll ever have. Their sandwiches are phenomenal. I really miss their French toast because that changed my life
Small selection of donuts but I was there at lunch. Little too pricey
Doughnuts are a bit pricey but worth it. They always taste great.
Great little atmosphere. Super sweets and since I had my department hat on was given a discount. Sometimes its good to be an old firefighter.
The staff was friendly. Clean building. I am upset that no one told me I would be addicted to the bread pudding doughnut‼‼ Omg it should be a crime to make something this delicious‼‼ I will definitely be back 😁😁 …
We went on Facebook day for our free doughnuts and it was my first visit there - OMG, best doughnut I've ever eaten from anywhere. I want to go back and order one of everything!
Doughnuts are great but I was blown away by the burger and the fried chicken sandwich. Wish they had fries or something other than chips, but it’s still worth it 😋 …
I had a tasty egg sandwich and a fine blueberry donut. Good orange juice. A bit cramped inside.
Such an awesome place. Creative doughnuts you won’t find anywhere else. The chicken sandwich is not to be missed, just go ahead and add an egg.
Great place. Delicious doughnuts. However the best is their sandwiches. Best burger I’ve had in sometime. Breakfast sandwiches and kolaches are great.
Breakfast sandwich is amazing. Get some coffee and dougbnuts to go!
My husband and I completely adored this spot! If we get to visit Birmingham again, we definitely are going back!
I ate a burger and spent way too much on doughnuts but what's more important are the friends we made along the way.
Wow. We shared a regular glazed donut and it was amazing. Fluffy and crisp. Something special in that glaze. Can’t wait to go back and try everything else!
Great food. Missed the doughnuts. Very friendly staff especially the lady taking the orders.
The donuts are light and GREAT and so is the breakfast! I had the Hero Breakfast which had bacon, eggs, grits and a grilled tomato.
Even though it is covid 19 the workers are in good spirits which brightens my day! Plus they have delicious food I would totally suggest the hash browns which worth the wait.
Ok- happy hour (starts at 3:00pm on weekdays where they serve half priced doughnuts) is too good to be true. Love Hero and what they add to the community!!! Thank you guys!
We love celebrating Birthday’s at Hero’s!
Best donuts in all of Alabama. Tasty flavours that are a work of art.
If and when they sell 'uglies,' be sure to grab a couple.
Hero Doughnuts is always awesome!!! Had a breakfast sandwich for the first time today and it was full of flavor.
I had the best time there today. The most amazing food and staff
Thank you so much for what you do
Delicious and fresh. Nice sitting area too. Good parking. I'll go back soon.
After eating at Hero doughnuts i haven't veen able to eat another doughnut without being disappointed - please go here. Delicious coffee and brioche doughnuts made from scratch everyday.
Super yummy. The maple doughnuts are f-ing awesome. Very good, but f-ing expensive. So expensive, it keeps me from going there more often.
The best doughnuts in town!! Unique flavors, soft dough, and neat modern atmosphere.
The Hero burger was PERFECT!!! I also had a blueberry with vanilla bean donut and...yeah. Love:)
Love, love, love this place. No other doughnuts come close to these! Their nitro coffee and nitro floats are to die for! 10/10 will always come back.
Absolutely delicious! The regular doughnuts are massive, but they offer smaller varieties for $2.
Absolute delicious donuts! Best donuts around! Also very very staff! I highly recommend trying them out!
Of course they have good doughnuts but the burgers and chicken sandwiches are fantastic. Arguably the best in the city.
Amazing doughnuts! Love the food here but I found the super crunch chicken sandwich to be a bit rubbery.
Delicious but too expensive for what you get. Filled donuts were awesome, bread pudding donuts were way overrated.
Crispy sand which was delicious, good 3$ cup of joe, and a humongous pistachio donut. All tasty on top of great customer service.
I tried the hamburger for the first time. it was delicious and cooked to my request ... they make their own breads in addition to their donuts 😊 …
The donuts are very good but, trust me, the fritters are where it’s at. Try one and you’ll never go anywhere else ever again.
Applefritter great - would even be better warmed. Donuts okay - would rather have a hot Krispy Kreme right off the line
Try the blueberry cake or OG donut for breakfast. The chicken sandwich for lunch is also worth trying, with better bread it would be one of the best in town.
Get the loaded hash browns with Conech-so good! All of the doughnuts and fritters I've tried were yummy as well.
Great doughnuts... maple sea salt is the best... breakfast on a bun is absolutely amazing... friendly staff and great place
It is obvious they have the best donuts in bham but you may not know they have the best sandwiches and coffee as well!
Best breakfast sandwich I've had in years! Donuts made freh. Highly recommend.
First visit. Will be back a lot! Donuts and kolachies were incredible. Boston Creme was the best!
They have great donuts here! Seating is avialble inside if you want to sit and enjoy. Parking is available on site.
Y'all. THE BEST DONUTS. Don't even think about leaving without trying the vanilla creme filled donut. You may thank me at any time, I'll wait right here.
Delicious doughnut, everytime. I've tried most the flavors and I've yet to be disappointed. I think my favorite was pistachio something!
Great breakfast buns and donuts. A little too pricey though.
I️ had a lemon cardamon, brought my husband a vanilla glazed. They were both fabulous. If I️ lived closer, this could be a real problem.
Delicious doughnuts and Kolaches!! A little pricey, but pretty much worth it. Good service also.
Hero Burger - excellent.
Good breakfast and doughnuts!
When you walk in its smells like heaven and the options are endless. The doughnuts are sweet but not too sweet.
Great apple fritters, but $4.50 for 10oz of nitro cold brew is insane. At least make it a 16oz.
I'm fairly certain God spoke to me after my first bite of their Vanilla Cream donut and his words were, "This is what donuts are SUPPOSED to taste like."
Perfection! Doughnuts were wonderful, breakfast sandwich was delicious, staff is great! Will, y'all are KILLING IT!! congrats
I think they need to hire me in their marketing and advertising department. I am passionate about their doughnuts! So wonderful!!!! I tell people about them all the time!
You. Must. Taste. These. Not merely donuts. These guys put their heart and soul into their food. Original recipes. Local flavor. Amazing.
By far the best breakfast sandwich we've ever had! Doughnuts are delish also! #eatoutside #doughnuts
Always a wonderful experience! Top notch customer service and exquisite made from scratch food.
Hands down the best breakfast sandwich in town!
Will was legit awesome. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Offered me options to fit just what I was looking for and made great recommendations for next time. I will definitely go back again.
Best doughnuts to get. Always fresh made day of.great service worth it

The doughnuts were delicious. Service was great as well.
customer service was amazing and donuts were delicious
Literally said today "If Hero Doughnuts ever closes I think I'll die." Awesome space, awesome service, AMAZING food.
By far the best donuts I've ever had. Plus they have so many varieties.
Delicious donuts, great service. Try the pistachio, strawberry, and the Boston cream.
Always delicious. I love the cinnamon roll and the apple fritter. Fresh squeezed orange juice.
Burgers are good but a little over priced, breakfast sandwich is great plan and the doughnuts are better than any other big chain hands down
I’m addicted. The doughnuts are big and light, but filling. The breakfast sandwich will knock your socks off.
Really good burger.
If I had to choose between eternal life and heaven and their brioche OG vanilla donut... I'd choose the donut.
Unique choice of donuts, pistachio flavor is worth eating, don't miss it. Bit pricey.
The pistachio donut is out of this world. My 5 year old will eat the entire cup of donut holes one after another.
Cute place. I think it's a little bit overpriced, but it's good stuff. I tried their super crunch sandwich, and it was alright, not amazing, but okay.
Great donuts:) great coffee!! The owner is a cool dude. I’m looking forward to him doing well :)
Doughnuts were AMAZING. Sandwich was a little greasy for me though. I had the egg and cheese.
Friendly staff but doughnuts were to cakey to my taste and seemed to be over priced.
Delicious! Amazing! The donuts and the burger are both so so good.
Friendly staff!! Great donuts!! A little pricey but worth it.
Melt in your mouth madness!! Repeat!

From the refreshing iced tea to their amazing donuts I would highly recommend this place!
Really like the place, awesome 🍩 s and cool staff! Pistachio is MY favourite! What else do you need? …
No better doughnuts in the city and their food is amazing.
Super over priced. It tastes good but too overpriced for the price.
Slightly better than Duncan or Krispie Kreme. Not worth it. Mostly going thanks to the hipsters I think.
Amazing burger at a doughnut place! The doughnuts were awesome also!
Small place, nice service, tasty food.
I would love if you guys sell capuccino/late.
Doughnuts are huge and delicious! Just wish they were a little cheaper....
The best breakfast sandwiches and coffee in the area! Cannot believe how delicious they are!
Delicious apple fritter! Very busy on weekends, but worth it.
