Made fresh every day at 1am! The flavors change frequently depending on what seasonal ingredients are the most fresh. Cant decide on a flavor? Try the signature Dollie doughnut with Creme Brulee inside or a seasonal item, or both! There is plenty of parking and a cute mural along the side of the building.

Very cute donut shop on the Upper Westside! I had been wanting to try it for weeks, and finally was able to make the visit. I got a strawberry donut, cinnamon sugar cake donut and an oat milk latte. The strawberry was my favorite, it’s light and fluffy with the perfect amount of icing. The cake donut was more dense, and I thought the sea salt in the sugar mix was overpowering. Too salty for me. And then my latte was very good! The decor of the shop is super cute and very clean. Overall I had a great experience and would come back. I highly recommend!

Best donut place in Atlanta! Most creative and delicious flavors. My favorites are the strawberry, lemon lavender, cereal bowl, and chocolate frosted. The employees are so friendly too. Love this place and so excited for their new location to open!

Accidentally stumbled upon Doughnut Dollies, and could not have been more pleasantly surprised at how AMAZING it is! From truly delicious donuts (one of the two best donut places Ive ever been) to the CUTEST decor, they had it all! The coffee was great too! The staff were so kind and helpful and to beat all of that, there was no wait because it is tucked away hard to see from the street.

Amazing local donut shop, everything is made by hand daily and the variety is perfect, always have the classics but the seasonal selections are to die for!

Pros: Delicious, fresh, crunchy and creative donuts.Cons: A little pricey

Great selection of delicious flavors. The brioche was just the right consistency for me; light but with some body. The icing on the strawberry glazed was delicious; just sweet enough without being overwhelming. Chocolate brioche was also great!

They look very pretty but I have better donuts at publix and Krispy cream and they dont cost as much. Two donuts are roughly $8.00. But, a lot of people like them. I guess I had high hopes for something more rich, soft and flavorful.

Very greasy, lack of flavor. I purchased the strawberry rose doughnut and it wasnt cakey or soft. I liked how the orders were made fresh but I got one sitting already on display so maybe it wasnt as good because it wasnt fresh?? Maybe Ill give them another try but I am in no rush to return.

Yummy donuts. Worth trying,the glazed was a bit drying and the chocolate was the most delicious!

I enjoyed the Tres Leches the most. They only had one vegan selection, the strawberry vanilla. The atmosphere was very nice and the cashier was very very helpful. He took off his mask to communicate with me (I’m Deaf). That made a huge difference. He took the time to explain everything to me. Would I go back? Yes!I gave it a four because I’m not to keen on fried food. I was hoping for the baked types. Which is fine.. to each of their own. Bonne appetite!

Three of us went at 11:40 am on a Saturday. They still had a decent selection of donuts left.In COVID times, the employee was wearing a mask and gloves. They have donuts on the floor to mark 6 feet apart, which was a cute touch.We got 3 donuts, ranked in order of preference:- Vanilla Bean Glazed: We all really liked the glaze. No question about this donut being our favorite.- Sweet Jane: Powdered donut sandwich with buttercream filling. We liked that the filling was light and not heavy. It reminded us of cupcake icing.- Cereal: The fruit loops on top were staaaaale, like very stale. They were hard and gross, which was distracting. This is the reason for the 4 stars.I’m actually not sure how much each donut was. Their sign has 4 different tiers, but their display case only had 3 shelves, so I don’t know which one was which. Prices range from $2.25-$3.75.We also got iced coffee, from Jittery Joes, which was good ($3.00 for small, $3.50 for large). She asked how much creamer we wanted, so it was nice to have a say in that.There is another donut place nearby that is better that I would return to before I returned to this one. Still fun to try though!

This donut shop always delivers the best tasting donuts in Atlanta. There is no one around that can come close to their Apple fritter. They always have amazing seasonal flavors, but staples such as the old fashioned cake donut, sweet Jane and the signature Dollie are my favorite.

The Marietta location is better, the doughnuts here are sometimes stale, even in the morning, and there are a lot fewer choices. The employees are always friendly though and I do like their food when its fresh.

Nice new satellite location for this Marietta doughnut shop; located in West-Midtown at 1963 Howell Mill.Mainly “cake-based” doughnuts serving up a very imaginative variety. Offerings include everything from “Cinnamon Toast, Key Lime and Mikey- (Brioche, Espresso Cream, Maple and Bacon”).Very good coffee program from Jittery Joes.

Wide variety of donuts with unique flavors. If you like trying out different flavors, this is the place for you. Very friendly staff and inviting place to visit.

Review №22

As my husband frequently reminds me: Doughnut Dollies ruins all other doughnuts for you. They are melt in your mouth and delicious. Each and every flavor combination seems simple and complex at the same time. Well drive 30 minutes just to pick one up on the weekend to savor. Or occasionally splurge on a whole dozen and never have a single regret. Im a huge fan of the Cereal Bowl and hubby would probably have an affair with the Man Bun if it was possible!

Doughtnut Dollies donuts are so good! Surely coming back for their most popular doughnut, the Dollie - which has a brioche texture, creme brulee filling, and coated in brulee sugar.

Loved my doughnuts from here! They’re ginormous and not overly sweet. Anyone who knows bread/pastry making will be able to appreciate their amazing brioche. It looks so perfect on the inside. The flavors are great and like I said, they’re big!

Love this place, I like the Marietta location but Howell Mill is closer, some of the best donuts in the city, they actually take pride in their recipes, you can taste it!

My favorite doughnut shop. Not just in Atlanta. Between the decor and employees alone, this establishment exceeded expectations from the second I first stepped foot on the tile. Their menu is stellar, with enticingly unique flavors that make it impossible to get just one. Each bite transfixed me with the happiest warmth and bliss.Further, the owners were beyond pleasant, exuding southern hospitality, taking the time to speak with me and my family for a confident half hour about business and life (impromptu— I wish I’d scheduled an interview. They’re fascinating). I could go on, but I’ll let others experience their own magic.

Really good donuts. All the flavors are incredible. Very well balanced of sweetness to flavor. But there is a greasy note to the dough that is too prevalent, especially in the aftertaste, keeping them from perfection. I’ll keep coming back hoping they figure out how to make them less greasy. EDIT I just read other reviewers who said the donuts were dry (?) so maybe the greasy note I’m getting was their attempt at answering previous criticism. I also feel these other reviewers were way too harsh and may not know the intricacies of a good donut as they think so I’m bumping my review to 5 stars because they definitely don’t deserve less than 4 and I don’t want to contribute to that possibility.

Would give it 5 stars if the donuts were fried less. Not sure if they are always like that or we had an overdone batch. Still delicious and fun flavors-- just needed to be cooked a little less.

Looks great, clean and friendly, but this is a donut shop so we need to consider the donuts. Dry, mediocre at best, and did not taste like they were baked today. I would never go back.

I really wanted to love these, but they looked better than they tasted. To put it simply the donuts just were not fresh. Im disappointed, and I wont be back. There are too many options in Atlanta to pay such a high price for donuts that dont taste good.

I have had doughnuts from every big shop in Atlanta and these are far and away the best our city has to offer. The Dollie is a crowning achievement, perfection in food form. If you have a sweet tooth, you need to make the trip.

Highly recommend this place! They have some of the best tasting donuts. Their Dollie Dougnut is a classic and would recommend trying if you can’t decide on which one to get. Be cautious of the parking, because they’re donuts are so good the parking lot is always full.

I really wanted to rate this higher but I cannot get over the rude customer service we received upon our first visit. Me and my fiancé visit speciality doughnut shops in every city we go to, and having already been such big fans of Five Daughters, we wanted to try a new spot in ATL. Everything is cute about this place- the atmosphere, the vibe, the doughnuts and coffee selections. But I had questions when it came to the doughnut flavors and coffee and was very disappointed in the lack of hospitality I received from the young man working. I wanted to know what the best flavors/sellers were. I was told very sternly all of them. While Im sure they are all great, it would be nice to have some feedback since I couldnt purchase all of them. Then I wanted to purchase a coffee so I asked about the cold brew and whether he recommended it, he replies I dont drink cold brew. The only reason I gave this two stars is because the doughnuts were tasty, but we were inclined to leave immediately without any coffee or more flavors because of the rude customer service. Good customer service is all about feedback and hospitality and we felt as though this employee was annoyed by us even being there. I sincerely hope the other employees here have better attitudes.

The location, cost and service are great! Pricing may seem expensive to some but keep in mind they are over the top Doughnuts so you pay for it. One thing I would recommend is calling ahead to make sure the doughnuts you are looking to purchase are actually available. The checkout process is quick and the team members are very polite. Coffee is also available. I will definitely return for some doughnuts I missed this last round!

Still greasy, fat, weirdly spongy textured yeast doughnuts. The flavors and garnishes give the doughnuts eye appeal, but they arent fried properly. If you are looking for a light and tender doughnut, you wont get it here.

I can’t rate it fairly since they were closed with a “Sold Out” sign Monday morning at 9:40. Does anybody know when they have doughnuts?

Review №68

Delicious, hand crafted, and Instaworthy!I was pretty stoked to hear they were opening a new location in my neighborhood in West Midtown and Im not even a huge sweets/doughnut fan.Atlanta, despite its growing and bountiful options in restaurants and bars was severely lacking in the doughnut department, especially on the north/west side. For reference, Revolution is too far a drive and Sublime is just not a place for adults.I tried out a half-dozen options (Picture attached) and all of them exceeded my expectations even for how drool worthy they looked.Whether it was an espresso cream-filled take on maple bacon, a classic cake style or something more yeasty, they all had a great combination of flavors and quality ingredients. These are not just a plain Jane with icing on top.In-addition to the great pastry chef recipes, the staff were really friendly, the space is brand-new and very modern & clean, and they added all the fixins by offering Jittery Joes coffee and various bottled drinks & merch.A true 5-star option and look forward to my next visit!Additional FYI-This is basically just a pickup shop, as I only saw a few stools on the inside and a small bench on the outside- Selections Im assuming will be on a seasonal/rotating basis- Due to demand they may sell out by late-morning on the regular, check their instagram as theyll post if they have sold out for the day.
