This is my favorite donut shop. The donuts are fresh, have a great texture, and priced very reasonably. I no longer live in the area but whenever I come by, I have to stop and grab a dozen. My favorite types of donuts are the apple fritter and the cream-filled maple bar. The apple fritter is a good size, has a really nice crispy glaze shell, and is super moist in the middle. The cream in the maple bar is smooth and is in great proportion to the donut. Ive tried donuts at so many other shops all over the east coast and these are by far the best. Some places, I feel like the donuts are just average and a waste of the calories. Donut world is definitely not a waste, and I cannot help myself with these!

Great selection even late in the day and still fresh, chocolate coated buttermilk is definitely worth a try

Can I say these donuts are like eating fluffs of clouds. I just cant get enough of them. I swear they are so delicious and before I know it the donuts are all gone 😳😔. I cant seem to purchase enough to get through a day. What witchcraft are they doing to the dough 🤔? I cant make a donut last long enough to take a photo 🤣.

I have been disappointed by this place multiple times, but it wasn’t until this morning that I decided to leave a review.They advertise on their menu that they sell Kolaches. I called ahead of time to double check, and was told they sell them all day. So my family and I drive there (we live about 30 minutes away) to be told that they do not have any more & to call ahead next time... which we did originally... but we chalked it up to a miscommunication.The next time I called ahead, a day before, placed an order for a pick up the following morning. I was put on hold, they went to check the supplies, said I was good & they took my order. This morning I go to pick up order to be told they did not have the supplies & do not have my order. No one called me about this, nothing! So I show up just to leave empty handed again.Their donuts do not make up for their HORRIBLE customer service, and if you are wanting kolaches do not believe their menu or their “call ahead of time” policy.

Beats the k and the d hands down with friendlier service! $2 doughnut & coffee😋 Everyones got different taste in coffee. I give their coffee 3.5 stars. Kudos on having creamer and not chalk dust (powdered creamer).

Love this place. Best apple fritters in town. But go early they sell out fast. The old fashion buttermilk donuts will melt in your mouth. Great place for the donut lover.

The staff were very nice and welcoming. The store is very clean and well kept. They had plenty of donuts and a wide variety of flavors and styles. Its reasonably priced and delicious. You can eat inside if you want but we took them home and ate. Next time Im in the area Ill stop back in.

I called ahead several days in advance to Donut World to place a large order for a meeting. When I arrived day of, everything was ready and waiting for me as I ordered it and when I wanted it (not always my experience at other donut shops!). The meeting members raves about how good the donuts were, and it helped me make a good impression so 5 stars in my book!

I had low expectations the first time we went, because it was so late for donuts, but they were great! We didnt try any cake donuts, but all of the raised ones we had were very tasty.

Apple fritters. This.The apple fritters are second to none. You have to get them early in the morning as they sell out quick. I often call ahead or show up at opening to not miss out.Get more than one. Get five.Fin.

Heard of Donut World when someone brought a box for me to try and I was hooked. I love every donut Ive tried, they dont taste mass produced like some shops do. Once youve had an apple fritter, youll keep coming back. Warning: Their donuts are larger than the norm so save up some calories for these. Once I recommend it,, no one wants to settle for any other kind. Always have had prompt, courteous service.

Review №33

This place is pretty awesome; the donuts are great. This place only does one thing but they do it very well.The only reason that they dont have five stars is because nothing goes good with donuts like great coffee, and I believe their coffee selection is small and not really much better than youd be able to make at home or on your own.Oh also its worth noting that around Christmas time they were closed for like three whole weeks. Everyone deserves a vacation but jeez. That was a time of year that I bought lots of donuts for people, and I ended up having to go other places.

A bit disappointed, upon paying my total was $3.02 but hit my bank as $4.05. I was asked if I wanted my receipt... should have said yes. I know its only a dollar but still pretty shady. And to boot the donuts were not fresh.

Review №41

They make the donut early in the morning and they sit all day. I normally go around 4pm and the donuts are no longer fresh. I placed my order told him exactly what I wanted. When I got to work and opened my bag it was not what I ordered. I definitely will NOT be going back. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone unless they go early before noon.

Best donuts in town. And by that, I mean most any town. I live in Baltimore now, and when I visit family in Greensboro, donut world is a must stop every time.

Service is friendly enough. Donuts arent worth the money. They lack richness were accustomed to from other bakeries as well as having outrageously overpriced cooler drinks. Capri Suns, and Honest juice boxes being sold for $1 each speak volumes.

Had to wait literally 10 minutes before the employee even knew we were there. Ordered the $8 dozen, but when we went to pay it was $14, and we were told that was because we chose donuts that werent part of that special. That would have been nice to know ahead of time.

I went into Donut World on Randleman Road in Greensboro, NC and bought 3 Chocolate Eclairs and 3 Apple Fritters and they were good. I noticed that the store was real small and there was not enough room to make donuts. I found out from a co-worker that the donuts are delivered to the stores during the morning hour. I sure would like to know who makes those wonderful donuts and who delivers them cause I would hate to find out that I just bought day old products. The service was great and what I ate was good but who made them?

Not to crazy about W Market St but Battleground is my fav. Went in (Battleground) after 4:00pm and the donuts were still fresh. Hate they closed the one on Gate City Blvd.

Place was clean and well kept. Donut were nice. But I ordered a dozen, paying $13. A lot more money that I was expecting. I asked the way so high on the price. I was told its because I mix them. Dunkin doesnt charge you that way.

Review №73

Used to be the best doughnut place in Triad, gone downhill quite a bit. I fondly recall meeting the owner years ago at this location on West Market. She was delightful and the doughnuts were so much better than the chains. However, I think with Donut Worlds growth into multiple stores (Battleground, Near Coliseum, etc), the quality had dropped and even the size of the doughnuts have gotten smaller.I want so much to root for them but the level of care seems to have lowered to where I wonder if this now-chain is no longer owned but the sweet lady we met years ago.I was sorely disappointed the last trip to their West Market location. Ill try again. Does anyone know if the ownership has changed?One tip:. Ask clearly what you can get for their dozen pricing (no filled). See other reviews below. A $8.50 dozen can become $13 or more im the blink of an eye. Just ask.

Felt rushed and the server was not very friendly. I was with my 7 year old daughter and she said she felt embarrassed. He told me I dont understand because I mentioned that the pricing was not customer friendly. I just wanted a dozen but also wanted to include some filled donuts. This just created a complicated formula and it turns out for $12 I only got 6 regular and 4 filled. Last visit!
