What a hidden gem! I've never seen this doughnut shop until I drove by it earlier today. I decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint. The chocolate covered strawberry doughnut had a very nice, and potent strawberry taste. The blueberry pancake doughnut was also a hit. The blueberry taste was more subtle but the doughnut was very enjoyable. The doughnuts are served warm and made to order which was a perk. I would definitely recommend Baloo's for a sweet treat. There is also plenty of outdoor seating that is cozy and welcoming! read more

Myself and 4 other interns were sent on a high-risk coffee run. We got 20+ coffees and 3 dozen donuts that were all quickly crafted to our coworker's desire. The ambiance is a neat outdoorsy vibe! I'm also jealous of one of the interns I work with - her car smells like heaven itself caused by the intense aroma of 36 donuts intoxicating the car! They were so tasty, highly recommend! read more

Get ready for your new favorite donut stop! I think this is just an excellent donut and I have tried several and haven't been disappointed. They can get busy but this would be a more frequent stop but the location is a little tough.Recommend them over a Dunkin any day of the week! read more

These aren't your average donuts--they have a light, crispy exterior with a texture that reminds me of a perfect funnel cake. I'm not usually a fan of cake-style donuts, but these completely won me over. I tried the glazed and maple bacon, both served hot and fresh. While some flavors might be a little sweet for my personal taste, the quality and variety are fantastic. If you prefer something simpler, a plain one would be just as amazing. My boyfriend, on the other hand, devoured the rest of our half-dozen order and absolutely loved them! The fact that these donuts are made fresh to order really sets them apart. Whether you're a donut lover or just looking for a delicious treat, Baloo's Donuts is well worth the visit. Highly recommend! read more

These donuts are served fresh and hot which is so unique! They're made to order so you can customize the flavors or choose from their combos. The service was fairly quick and the ambiance is really nice! It's a very cute little area with some outdoor seating, but we took ours to go since it was a rainy day. The donuts are very crispy and have a unique texture. They are a bit greasy, so I got a stomach ache after eating two but I think one for breakfast would be the perfect amount! These are a nice treat for once in a while and I'll definitely be back to try more flavors! read more

You guys RUN to get these donuts. Seriously they are that good. They are made TO ORDER so they were still warm when I had my first bite it was heavenly!!! None of that sitting on the shelf stuff, so real for that. Also they have a spring flavor set (left side of the box), the lavender honey is SO GOOD. I also ordered a Cuban latte and it did not disappoint. The shop is so cute, I love their deck and lighting and the service was great. I'm really not a donut lover or a regular yelp reviewer but this place brought it out of me. read more

These are some of the best donuts in town paired with some delicious coffee and the sweetest staff. I went when it had just finished raining and I was standing. Out came one of the employees and wiped the bench for me to sit! I can't wait to try the different flavors of donuts and enjoy the outdoor ambiance of a quick bite! read more

Well let me be the first to tell you, the level of care and detail put into the items on the menu will shock and impress you. On their grand opening I (along with anyone else following their social media) was gifted a free donut. I chose my favorite, maple bacon. The donut was hot and fresh and the maple glaze, you could tell, was made from scratch (not some store bought junk). The bacon was crisp and the donut was superior to most attempts at them. In keeping with the hand made theme, when I ordered the Cuban latte w/vanilla flavoring, I was informed the vanilla used was made from scratch (again, not just some chemical syrup junk). When I tell you this Vanilla Cuban Latte could change your whole life, it's not hyperbole. Run (don't walk) to Baloo's for coffee and a donut soon. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, and great people. The donuts were made right in front of you and fully customizable. The place does not have a lot of shared seating, but a few benches and some standing tables. I love supporting smaller companies like this one over Krispy Kreme, and will definitely be back. I got the blueberry and maple french toast one, and it was fantastic! Don't try the coffee since I don't drink coffee. read more

Don't come here if you want to have donuts anywhere else ever again. They're a head above the rest even when they're older, but the way the business works is they make them to order, so you always get the freshest bite. Eating one will make you reconsider whether you've ever had a donut before. We got Cuban oat milk lattes and they were absolutely delicious. The food gives them every right for service to be lacking, but it isn't. The man working the window was helpful and kind. As we sat in their benches area we saw multiple transactions, some with customers that required a little more patience, and the service remained exceptional. The outdoor area is kept extremely clean and inviting. The store is right off of the road but they have an abundance of parking, and their patio area is inviting but fenced, so we were comfortable having our baby crawl around. Make sure to get some extra donuts so you don't come more than once in a day, and keep in mind that they close at 2PM. read more
