Surfing for a local donut shop that actually makes their own variety of donuts is a challenge now a…read moredays. This place had great pictures and I had to try it. Entering, the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I heard a little about the history of the shop and the occupants. I was able to get a dozen donuts for just under $15. A bit more than I expected....for what I saw. I sampled the pigs in the blanket and they were good. Fresh and warm..... Getting back to my place I sampled both old fashions, maple and glazed. All small, decent and fresh. The apple fritter was a disappointment as I'm not sure I ever tasted a piece of apple. The cream filled as you can see by the pictures was a huge disappointment. The cream that is there was good.... Just very very short supply. The jelly filled was almost as bad. Let me help here..... when it says "Filled" FILL THE DONUT! How hard is that?? Comparing to Peterson Donut Corner, which is my go-to place, is a tough bar to reach. I'd say this store was worth a trip if you're looking for small fresh donuts and a friendly staff. If you're hoping it will be the next best thing? Not so much......you'll be disappointed as I am. Unfortunately most of these will not be eaten. I would have been better off just getting a glazed or two....

However, after sampling a dozen various donuts, unfortunately, our expectations were not met. Edible but almost bland. Their chocolate was almost vanilla.

Small quaint donut shop. I tried out this place after seeing all the fun donuts they make on…read moreInstagram. Today when I arrived there were very few donuts to really choose from that were outside of the original glaze. Blackberry butter- 3/5 topping was great, but it was literally just sitting on top. So once you ate the top of the donut the rest was just bread. Toasted Butter Pecan- 2/5 not a fan considering the excessive amount of chewing it required from whatever covered the donut. Service was prompt and the employees were very friendly and helpful. I DONUT (pun intended) about you, but I will go back and give it another try in hopes to try some other specialty donuts. It seems that getting there early is the best way to ensure a variety is available.

With an impressive 4.77 rating across all user-driven platforms online (108 total votes and…read morecounting), you would imagine Fresh Donuts would live up to the hype. On paper - actually on an Excel spreadsheet I created - those scores rank them as the third best donuts in Middle Tennessee! Having now eaten at the entire top 25 donut spots, I can provide my impartial review. I found this tiny, unassuming shop in a strip mall with no sign. Unlabeled with a lackluster, no-frills interior, you'll find the secret store adjacent to a Fantastic Sam's southwest of downtown Columbia. In the first few bites, I realized that the donuts at Fresh Donuts were shockingly mediocre for such lofty ratings. But you must consider that a Columbia 4.77 isn't a Nashville 4.77. In a smaller town with fewer bakery options, ratings are always going to be skewed higher. That's true throughout the country. To pull off a 4.77 in Nashville is nearly impossible unless you have a really special product that distinguishes itself among some serious competition! So you must temper your expectations in a town of fewer than 50,000. The maple frosted donut here, my favorite donut flavor, wasn't bad. But it struck me as average and unremarkable. The cinnamon twist wasn't as light and airy as some of the exemplary versions you'll find in Nashville, and the cinnamon was nearly undetectable. While the donuts were fresh even in the late afternoon with a dwindling supply, which is impressive and lives up to the name Fresh Donuts, I wouldn't make this a destination for Nashvillians who are thinking of driving an hour down to Columbia. If you happen to be in Columbia, yes, this is a good stop for donuts. But don't make a road trip out of it just to sample what are allegedly the third-best donuts in the region. They simply aren't what the ratings imply, and I made the trip so you wouldn't have to.

We walked into a plain donut shop nothing really out of the ordinary. My problem was the amount of flying insects in the donut cases. I mentioned to the lady working and she waved her hand around at the bugs. I realize things happen and bugs can get into your business but her acknowledgment and trying to swipe them did nothing...I am amazed at myself that we still bought a couple donuts because looking back on this it's gross and still in February is causing me mental grief as to why I ate one! I would not return to this donut shop.

They called me to let me know the line at the drive up window was VERY long and delivery would be a bit longer than expected... which is fine. I don't mind, as they are going out into the scary virus ridden world to bring me a breakfast sandwich and some calorie laden donuts I certainly don't need... as I have gotten the "done lap" disease from too much self care in the kitchen, if y'all know what I mean... self CONTROL has exited the building! (If y'all see mine? PLEASE SEND IT HOME!!!!!!) The human followed instructions and rang my doorbell, leaving my order at my door. I brought it in, and opened the bag with my breakfast sandwich first. Literally did an LOL. Just look at the pictures of what $3.99 bought. It's barely a quarter of an inch thick. I just giggled typing this as WTH?!? Did a South Park "Mmmmmkay" and opened the box of a dozen donuts and found they totally messed up the order. (Several were even UPSIDE DOWN) Wow. I know they had a busy drive through, but really? That's NOT how one gets return customers... and the delivery service isn't allowed to open anything to make sure it's correct. It really, REALLY wasn't. What surprised me the most was the taste of the few donuts I tried. Having been the first time at this location, I compared it to the one on South Church Street in Murfreesboro. These are in no way comparable. Lacking in taste in every way possible. Not sure how they did that... aren't Dunkin Donuts all the same? I'll have to ask the people I gave all the others to as well. Not happy at all, but places have off days. Everyone does. I'll give this place a month or two and try again. 931 Delivers is giving me credit for the hilarious breakfast sandwich although I told them not to... it wasn't necessary... but they got such a good laugh about it they insisted, and they appreciate the big tips I always give their people. Why wouldn't I? I hope y'all do too... they're ESSENTIAL!!!

First impressions from…read morethe parking lot don't say much, but once inside I was greeted with genuine Southern hospitality from who I assume was the owner and his family. They offered me a free glazed donut since it was my first visit, and it was superb -- soft, perfectly glazed, clearly handmade, and not full of air like Krispy Kreme donuts. I asked for recommendations and was pointed to the honey buns since they were out of their other best sellers. I ordered a honey bun and a maple éclair. The honey bun was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The éclair was cream-filled with maple glaze and absolutely delightful. The filling was a little too sweet for my personal taste (I'm not big on super sweet desserts), but that's not a knock on the place. In my opinion, about half the filling with that maple glaze would be perfect -- and adding bacon would take it over the top. They also appear to serve lunch, which looked very appetizing. I was there strictly for donuts this time, but I'll definitely be back to try it if the food is anything like the pastries. All in all, this place is a hidden gem. I highly recommend giving them a try if you're in the area -- you won't be disappointed. It's always great to support local businesses over corporate chains with half the quality. Give these guys a shot.

People saying they came from all over to try the pastries. Had to join the crowd and try them myself. Some, I was eager to get, weren't available when I went. They said they didn't make as many, when schools were in session. I'll have it go back in the summer, when sales increase. Anyway, the ones I chose today were delicious. My favorite was the Maple Old-fashioned (yum yum!) Hope they have that every time I go because I will want it again and again.

And as popular as this spot is, they sell out well before 3:00 every single day! So on several occasions over the past five years, I've driven an hour down to Lewisburg at 1:00 or 2:00, only to find a closed store at the end of a fruitless trip. Finally, I made the pilgrimage to the Lewisburg Donut Shop on a weekday morning and found it open! Hallelujah! And indeed, the donuts did not disappoint. The apple fritter is among the best I've had, almost as good as Fox's in Green Hills. But that maple with a soft, yeasty, melt-in-your-mouth dough is astounding! I can understand the lofty ratings now!

The staff was friendly and patient as we figure out what we want. They have so many flavors and felt overwhelmed. There are no seating available but they have drive-thru. This is meant for grab and go. My only qualms is there's quite a bid difference between specialty donuts (basically toppings) vs the regular donuts. Overall, Daylight Donuts is a solid go-to for a reliable donut run near Murfreesboro. I'll definitely come back when im near by!
