I should've taken pictures of the ginormous cinnamon rolls they had. Seriously the size of a large cake! These donuts were top tier, they make the list of top 5 best donuts I've ever had. My wife's only remark was she wished their apple fritter was just a little bit more apple infused. Otherwise, it was a knock out. The donuts are thick and fluffy like a true donut should be. We enjoyed the cinnamon roll latte, a sweet and delectable latte. The person at the front counter was very kind and patient with us as we took forever to make up our mind with what we wanted. read more

Donuts are pretty good. The service is good too. I haven't been inside the building but only through the drive through.

These things are HUGE, and delicious! The cinnamon rolls are the size of a dinner plate, and the fritters are perfect. This place is a decadent way to become fat and broke if you aren't careful. Pace yourself! The service is great! The ladies working the counter are friendly and fast. The ambience is fun, with humorous phrases and jokes scattered about. The donut boxes say things like, "may your coffee be stronger than our daughter's attitude." read more

Great service! Everyone is so nice & friendly. But the best part is the donuts! They are heavenly. They taste so good & the donuts are huge. Well worth the price. The donuts are only a little more than grocery store donuts & are way bigger & again taste so good. & If you are a person like me that find the typical glaze too sweet all you have to do is call a day before & ask for them to make some with no glaze or lightly glazed. Or if you love twists but it's Wednesday. They only make them on Tuesday. All you have to do is call & ask them to make you some. They will happily make you some for the next day. Whenever I have a little spending money it's time to go to Beaver Dough-Joe! PS the cinnamon roll is as big as a new born baby & weights about as much. read more

I'm in love with this place. The donuts and the bagels are off the charts. The customer service is excellent as well. Our visit was impromptu so we didn't look at the closing hours and ended up walking in after closing. Everyone was super friendly and we weren't treated like a burden. Instead the owner took care of us and provided us with info about the place and food. He also gave us two free donuts! The bagels are shipped in from the Bronx . The donuts are made fresh every night and the coffee is locally sourced. Can't wait to come back. Inside there is plenty of seating available and there is a drive thru as well. read more

Delicious coffee, doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches. The people who run it are very kind and welcoming.

Stopped in cause of the cute name and I'm glad I did! I've never been here or any of their other locations before but I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. I was greeted by a very friendly man (I think he was the owner not sure though) asked if I've ever been there before and I told him I had not, he guided me to all the good flavors and even gave me a glazed doughnut on the house to try! They have a drive-thru if you don't feel like getting out of your car which is nice. If you do decided to go in they have plenty of seating inside and outside. If you're not a big coffee drinker they have plenty of other options coke and hot! Like I said, will definitely be back because of the amazing doughnuts and super friendly staff! read more

Donuts here are okay. They are quite sweet. Which in my opinion, lowers the quality of the donut if it's too overwhelmingly sweet. Although, they were very soft and moist for cake based donuts. The strawberry donut flavor is quite potent though. They're about palm sized and $1.64 each, not too bad. read more

I love getting to stop here, these donuts are probably the best of Knoxville in my opinion. The employees at always so accommodating to my weird coffee order haha you can tell they really care about what they do. It's a real cozy little shop that you definitely need to try out! read more

This was my first order from the Dough-Joe, and the donuts are out of this world delicious!! It was my boss's birthday, so I got 2 dozen donuts, 6 cinnamon twists and 6 maple covered long johns (filled with white icing). Several people raved about how good the donuts were, including my boss! Customer service was great, and the order was already bagged up and ready to be picked up when I arrived. I live pretty close to the donut shop and will try my hardest to keep my distance since their donuts are soooooo good! read more

Came here in our way back to NY with my boyfriend as we were in the area. The DONUTS HERE ARE SUPERB! . I tried the chocolate donut and glazed. Both were delicious. We also had a sausage egg and cheese on a plain bagel. We took it to go and when I opened the foil to my sandwich, I was greeting by a beautiful RAINBOW BAGEL . It definitely put a smells on my face. My boyfriend didn't care for it much but oh well, I loved it. The coffee on the other hand, could be better. It was not the most tastiest to me. But I still recommend coming here. read more

Bought a huge doughnut and a really good coffee - a macchiato with coconut milk. Friendly staff, nice place.

Best doughnuts in Knoxville buy the apple fritters are truly to die for! Get there early or they sell out!!

So I'm in a doughnut craze!! No, I'm not pregnant... just been obsessing over them. My boss brought beavers doughnuts into for the whole office! I just got one thing to say: Beaver's Dough-Joe when you opening up a shop in Knox?? When?? These were unreal, huge, and fresh! I had a chocolate doughnut with a filling. I need to have more bad days at work so my boss can bring more of your doughnuts! read more

I love love love this little family owned joint! The bagels are my fav , but I can't dismiss the donuts at all. I always tell them to surprise me and I'm never disappointed. There was one morning that they were busy, and I was going to pull out of the drive thru because I didn't want to be late for work. The owner or maybe manager, a really nice man, came out and asked if I was alright. I told him I just needed to go to work that I was running late and couldn't wait in line that day . He took my order right on the spot and rushed my coffee out to me personally and took my payment then and there . It was a really nice experience to see how they do an amazing job at accommodating and amazing their customers ! read more

I went on a Saturday around 10-11am and let's just say I wish I had listened to the fellow yelp reviewers. They aren't lying! So I went through the drive thru and I was excited to order a box of donuts . They were sold out of most and only things left were blueberry donuts and 2 cinnamon rolls. I was told by the lady that I could order ahead through Facebook messenger or call in the day before. I got an iced caramel coffee to wash it down with and the coffee was ok not too caffeinated. I wouldn't go back for iced coffee personally but would wake up early to order a dozen donuts with a variety of flavors and also for my roommates of course . Sharing is caring and this place is worth hyping about in regards to their delicious donuts. read more

amazing donuts that are always fresh and the staff are so friendly! love my local donut shop.

Beaver's Dough-Joe is a great family owned donut shop in the Karns area of Knoxville. They have creative flavors, as well as classics. The inside is cozy and clean. Everyone behind the counter was friendly. My only complaint is that we showed up only 40 minutes after opening on a Saturday and most of their flavors were gone already. It was very slim pickings. We did try their Maple in both cake and flour, sour cream old fashioned and a strawberry cake one. And my son had a cake one with sprinkles on it. The donuts are fresh and satisfy any sweet cravings you are having. Next time hopefully I'll get their early enough to try some other flavors! read more

I went a little bit late so the selection was limited. I had gotten a cake base strawberry donut and the triple chocolate one. I found them to be sweet, but the donuts were soft and airy for a cake donut. I found it to be moist and easy to eat compare to other cake donuts that tend to be slightly dry. I would definitely come by again early to try their other donuts. read more

Delicious fresh Doughnuts daily get there early they sell out fast the largest cinnamon roll I've ever seen!! Been to two different locations and everyone is awesome and has a great attitude!

Beaver's Dough Joe café is located in the perfect shopping center. They open their doors every morning at 6:00 am with fresh baked doughnuts and coffee. The school bus loaded with students, ride passes Beaver's Dough Joe each morning. My son, who rides the bus, says each morning he could smell fresh baked doughnuts coming from Beaver's Dough Joe. The first time he visited Beaver's Dough Joe, he was so happy to eat the best made from scratch doughnuts ever. Beaver's Dough Joe is not your everyday coffee and doughnut shop it's a café with made from scratch desserts that my son can't live without each week. read more

Beaver's Dough-Joe - Donuts Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Great and cozy place to get a doughnut (or two...three or more!). You can also get a cup of local coffee, a frap, or iced coffee. The selection is smaller than what you'd find at say Dunkin' Donuts or a mass produced facility. However, these are some of the best doughnuts you'll get right in Karns. They possess the perfect balance of chewy and airiness; with fair balance of icing crunch (if you get glazed) or any of the specialty doughnuts. They're open in the AM so you can grab a quick bite and cup of Joe; through the drive-thru too! If you're not in a hurry, you can sit in the little nook and just relax and enjoy your little snack. Definitely recommended. read more

Always a special treat. None compares to the Dough-Joe donut! We have out of town family that insists on going to get them while she is in town. read more

Small but efficient business. Mid morning on a Friday, hardly a wait. Line moves quickly. A few tables and a sitting area available. I'm sure the drive thru gets the most action. But you owe it to yourself to go inside, just for the SMELL of it. Large selection of doughnuts and all looked calorie worthy. We opted for fritters. One cherry, the other apple. Wonderful flavor especially after heating a few seconds. Beware! These are shareable fritters. They are plate sized treats. We had leftovers the following day. Do yourself a favor and try dough-Joes. Support our local community and load up on sugared goodness. read more

These are some of the best donuts I've ever had! The bagels are amazing as well and the staff is great!

Cute and homey, the have a huge display case full of differently topped yeast and cake doughnut. With giant cinnamon rolls and apple fritters as options. The coffee was good, with all the gear to make whatever fancy coffee drink you want. They moved their line along quickly on the Saturday morning I visited. It appears that the whole family is behind the counter getting things together! Worth a visit! read more

Went to the drive through before closing, staff was very courteous and helpful. The cinnamon bun was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Very reasonable pricing for the huge dessert too! read more

The beaver tails and cinnamon rolls are amazing! I'm not a huge fan of the doughnuts. They didn't seem as fresh. Not sure if it's frozen or I got day old doughnuts. The peanut butter and bacon could be addictive if the doughnut had been fresh. Love supporting the locals and this will be our go to if we don't want to drive to Krispy Kreme. read more

Best doughnuts. Ever. My personal faves: Strawberry cake Yeast glazed Blueberry Apple Fritter (Huge!!) read more

Dont want to be unfair, we only tried 2 types of doughnuts, and although they have good flavor they were very dry. Not to mention none of the doughnuts we wanted were available (probably our fault we went in on Wednesday 10am). I understand with the current pandemic there are precautions people have to take, but as first time visitors we had no clue what they had and we weren't allowed inside, only drive thru is open. With cars waiting behind you, you feel pressure to keep the line moving. The young lady must have misunderstood my order because she gave me 2 of everything I ordered, I was thinking it was expensive but after looking inside the bag, I realized why. I will probably give them another shot if I'm in that area, if things change I'll edit this review, but like they say.... first impressions are really important. read more

Just tried the glazed doughnuts. It was the biggest, best donut that I have ever had! I LOVE a hot Krispy Kreme and I would pick these donuts over them! read more

Great service and a wide selection. They have lots of doughnuts that are a little outside the box as well as traditional favorites. The cinnamon rolls are huge and taste great! Check it out! read more
