Since moving to Covington, this has been my wife and I go to spot every Saturday morning for breakfast. Everything from the donut holes, glazed and chocolate, the cake donuts to the kolaches is fantastic. The staff is warm and welcoming every visit. Top notch all the way around. Great job!

They are absolutely the friendliest of any service industry place you could visit. I can only imagine they are constantly imbibing of their own heavenly donut holes to maintain those smiles. Just like the glassy, red eyes of a drunken wife, these smiles are inexorably connected to the presence of donuts holes in ones system. The perfected blended glaze coating, that's NEVER gritty nor in short supply, creates a perfect, delicate shell around the noble donut hole. The donut hole itself: a perfectly loyal version of its hooped brethren. Soft and chewy. During the cooking process, the times prior to, and post-absolute donut perfection do not exist to the one responsible for their care. As if their sole purpose is to exist in the moment these treats are ready to be extracted, perform their duty, and then probably explode into sprinkles for use in other matters of perfection. The balance of a crumbling sweet halo to the chewy, soft bread interior is as consistent as gravity from one visit to the next, and arguably of equivalent value in maintaining order in the world as we know it.Go there, try literally anything they have

I absolutely love this place! Very clean and they have all different kinds of donuts. My grandkids liked the place as well. They have a little ride that the kids can ride on for. Quarter. Reminds me of my childhood. They also have fresh ground coffee and serve breakfast. We will most definitely be going back.

Went right at opening for warm, fresh donuts. So far the best ones I have had in Tennessee!

I am a little bias since I do work at the place. I will say I eat there EVERYDAY, so that should tell you something. I noticed a lot of people saying that it was closed. We open at 5am and start cooking 1-3am depending on the day. When we sell out, we close for the day. I do recommend not waiting until 12-1pm to come get donuts. We are very limited at that time.

Revised: I decided to try these again and they are awesome! Maybe I just went when they were not fresh or they fixed they ingredients. It was great. I went twice im one day!Worst donuts I ever had. I been there twice each time was equally disgusting. Every time I tried to come there they was closed except twice and donuts where stale both times. I try to go around 10 and 11am.

On my first visit, I was skeptical of ordering a dozen of the "day old donuts", so I ordered one fresh donut as well to compare the difference. The "day old donuts" were still super soft and exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is that the neon OPEN sign cannot be seen from the highway side of the building. I hadn't ever noticed the place! There is a $4 minimum for credit/debit.

Not a native of the area, but I stopped by this place because it appeared to be some what of an authentic bakery experience. What a fantastic decision, the donuts were superb. Slightly sweet and crispy exterior and soft, fluffy, buttery interior, they were eveything that donuts are supposed to be. Then there were these things called kolaches, which were sausages wrapped in cheese and flakey croissant dough. They were mind numbingly delicious. As aforementioned I am not from the area, so I have no knowledge of the food culture in this town. That said, if you pass through here, stop in and treat your self and treat your mind to this experience. PS. They also gave me two extra donuts on the house! #daymade

Go to Ripley if you want a good donut shop there has been something wrong with anything I've ever got from this place and Ripley takes the cake hands down.

Donuts are ok but the coffee tastes like muddy water. I went to use their creamer and when I poured it in my coffee it was spoiled. I would not recommend this place, especially if you prefer cleanliness.
