This shop is not new and seems likely to continue on indefinitely. I passed through town on a football day, and thus was the only customer not decked out in the hideous burgundy regalia of Virginia's "other" university. I had time to peruse a selection of cake and yeast donuts and a few other items before settling on cookie-dusted yeast donut. It was delightfully fluffy, and I experienced no difficulty in paying for this small purchase by card and walked out without a lot of wasted packaging. I asked no more of them than this one donut, but the variety and quality would support much greater demands.

Are you an early bird and you love that fresh donut in the morning? They open at 6:30am EVERYDAY! Customer service was top notch... even at 6:30am We have heard nothing but good things about this place so I decided to try it out. Did it fill the hype? It sure did and surely bypassed it by far! I ordered a variety of random donuts which were all DELICIOUS but the ones that stood out were the white coconut, glazed and the FRESH Apple filled. By far the best in the business compared to all the famous competitors.

Easy the best traditional donuts I've had in a long time. Great spot and love the nostalgic vibe. It's simple. The staff was wicked nice as well!

A high level of intrigue based upon virtually perfect Google and Yelp reviews led me to Carol Lee Donuts. It's located in a small former gas station a few minutes off the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. A regular flow of customers in the morning were evidence of a loyal following among locals. A half dozen donuts came out to $7.50. We went with a toasted coconut, Bavarian cream, maple frosted, and a couple chocolate glazed donuts. Both the toasted coconut and chocolate glazed (3.5/5) were a bit too sweet for my tastes. I would have liked more of a crunch for both, and the toasted coconut was on a glazed donut, which I think worked against the flavor (some may like the super sweet glazed taste overpowering the coconut). My travel companion that had the maple frosted and Bavarian cream (5/5) really loved those varieties. Service was quick and friendly. While I wouldn't drive out of my way to try Carol Lee Donuts again and I feel some of the other reviews I read mentioning that they're the best donuts on the East Coast are exaggerated, it's definitely a place I'd recommend over Dunkin' for those in the Virginia Tech/Blacksburg area.

Discovered this place last year while in the area. Was back in Radford and made a point to stop by on the way home to Northern VA. The donuts are so good. The texture is similar to our favorite donut place in NYC...now that's high praise. It's a yeast donut so has a nice fluffy texture, but also enough heft to it so it doesn't feel like you're biting into a bunch of air. They have a lot of variety...the standard flavors you'd expect at a donut shop. The appearance of the shop is nothing fancy. It's a walk-in, and you order at the counter. No seating. But at a no frills place like this, you know they are focusing on what's important: the taste of the donuts/food. The young man at the register was very friendly and courteous. We purchased a dozen to take home. They are all so tasty. I ate the cinnamon sugar, toasted coconut, and the apple filled donut. They were pillowy soft and had just the right amount of sweetness. Even the apple filled donut wasn't saccharin too sweet for a filled donut. The donuts stayed soft the next day as well. They've really got the donut thing down! I'm sure we will stop by whenever in the vicinity.

Throughout my four years at Virginia Tech, I tried Carol Lee Donuts at so many residence hall events, club meetings on campus, and in classes where my professors felt extra generous. My favorite flavors from them are the blueberry, strawberry icing, as well as the double chocolate ones. Although Dunkin Donuts is right on campus, nothing compares to the fresh baked goodness from Carol Lee's. Please try this place when you get the chance!

THIS.IS.THE.BEST. I thought I had found the best donuts in our area but driving to Blacksburg, I discovered one of the best donuts on the east coast. This small stand alone shop is just down the street from the university across from some apartments. Their Social distancing setup was perfect. They had lots of staff taking orders. It was a smooth pickup process. The donuts..... they were excellent yeast and cake options. The yeast were light yet they had substance. I loved the soft and fresh tasting bites of these addicting cakes!

Lily Z.

I have been craving Carol Lee's for so long, so I was super excited to visit again when I was in Blacksburg. It is hands down the best donut place that I've ever been to, and this time did not disappoint. My favorite flavors are the classic glazed, the toasted coconut, and the blueberry cake donut. Before your next trip, a few things to note is that the store closes for the day when they sell out, so it's best to go sometime in the morning. When I went to the store at 9 am, it was relatively busy and I ended up parking across the street. Also, the inside of the store is all a bit small with no indoor seating.

Coming here is like taking a step back in time. It reminds me of something off the set of "Maximum Overdrive" except without the killer trucks and machinery. You pour your own coffee out of pots warming on burners and a medium cup is only 90 cents. Yes, 90 cents! The donuts (their spelling, not mine) are amazing, fantastic, and delicious. I left with some that were filled, others chocolate covered, and even a few cinnamon rolls. Everything was homemade and the grand total was less than $9! Sara Lee? No, CAROL LEE! read more

As the best place to get fresh made donuts in the Blacksburg area, Carol Lee is always on my list of places to swing by when in the area. I am a big fan of their cake donuts, particularly the blueberry, but you can never go wrong with the cinnamon sugar donut, either. They are pretty reasonably priced at $5 for a half dozen; they're cash only but they have an ATM on site if you forget! It is also worth noting that there is no seating, either indoors or outside, at Carol Lee, so be sure to go in prepared to get your donuts to go. You may also have to wait for parking, as there are not that many spots. read more

If you didn't get Carol Lees at least a thousand times, did you really go to Tech? LOL jk, but really, Carol Lees has some of the BEST donuts I've ever had (and I've tried a lot of donut places). The store itself is tiny. It was in walking distance from my apartment so I'd walk out there on the weekends for my donut fix. Bring cash because if you need to withdrawal, the ATM takes a fee. My favorite donuts are the blueberry and chocolate cake donuts. They are perfectly made. The Bavarian cream donuts and the sprinkles were also a hit in my apartment. I typically don't like filled donuts, but the Bavarian cream one is not overly sweet and is quite delicious. Actually, all the donuts here are delicious. I recommend them all. read more

Carol Lee's is a Blacksburg staple. Back in the day, they were located down on College Avenue. They have always had THE best blueberry cake donuts. Especially good warm, as are the blueberry holes! We also inhale the chocolate glazed donuts, twists, and lemon filled; a family favorite. All though, Krispy Kreme & Dunkin' Donut shops seem to be popping up all over the place like a crazy Ex, hold out for Carol Lee's. She's got the good stuff. I was happy to hear from the lady at the register they cook in soybean oil, no hydrogenated oils (artery clogging trans fats), so eat Carol Lee's not Krispy Kreme, your heart will thank you. If you want a donut and you are in the New River Valley area, try Carol Lees. They are a cash only business, so bring it, or use the ATM. read more

Best donuts, price and taste, in the area and they've been around longer than most of the local VT students have been alive. I remember getting donuts from them back in the 80s and they had been around a while even then (it looks like 1968 according to google). Like everyone else has said make sure to bring cash and be prepared for a nice selection. They do have an ATM on site in case you forget.

She tried to stop me too, but I was too quick and nimble, much like a fearful mouse escaping an angry lion. About a week later, tonight, my roommate and I decided to reward ourselves with Chick-fil-A after our long voyage to the Christiansburg target. Exhausted and starving, we crawled our way to Hokie Grill at approximately 8:58 p.m., as we were promised food until 10 p.m. Immediately upon entering, we noticed the wicked woman guarding the bustling line. We tried to move around her, but she stood her ground and shook her head as she opened her mouth and roared, "NO!!! WERE CLOSED!" in our faces. Plenty of students were still happily munching and checking out around us, so we were quite taken aback by her extreme profanity. We turned around to leave, but in a burst of courage, I decided to politely stand up for myself. I timidly asked if we could quickly grab one of the many hot sandwiches laying out before they were thrown away to waste. She looked me in my sad, starving, vulnerable eyes and slowly shook her head back and forth with a grimace on her face and an evil twinkle in her eye. My. jaw. dropped. I was speechless. the lack of empathy and understanding from this forceful woman, whom I knew would also probably share my love of a good meal, was astounding. Not only did she turn us away before the brand new alleged closing time of 9:00 p.m., but she was unnecessarily ill-mannered and insolent to two poor little girls. I might've let it go if this was the first time something like this had happened, but she is far from a first-time offender. Multiple peers have shared very similar stories of verbal abuse, all from this woman. I am concerned, disappointed, enraged, and downright malnourished. This is a call to action to the university, Timothy Sands, and all Virgina Tech employers to do better and stop the suffering. #justiceforhokies

I hope this business continues to do well, and the community supports this small business owner!

Reserve well in advance during football weekends or special events, such as graduation week. We enjoyed the Tuscan Tortellini ($23): shrimp and chicken sautéed in garlic with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, herb sauce, cheese tortellini with basil and parmesan. Two of us split the tasty three-lamb-chop special for $36. Several nearby booths were enjoying the Southern Ribs ($23 ): seven slow-cooked, then crispy-fried pork ribs in a BBQ sauce, served with pimento mac-n-cheese, cornbread, and vegetable du jour. In addition to the dinner entrées ($20-$32) and specials ($40), Lefty's has dinner sandwiches under $14 and dinner burgers under $15. Plus flatbread pizzas, $14. Wines by the glass from $8 to $10.50. 24 beers on tap. Cocktails are $9 to $11. Service is fast, efficient, and mostly friendly (ours got a little snippy when we asked about a cocktail order that was slow to arrive, but it was a busy graduation night). Dependable on all counts; we'll be back.

We tried four different beers, with our favorite being the Coconut Migration porter. The bartender had great recommendations and was very kind and patient when we were figuring out what we wanted to order. The inside had a cool vibe I would describe as industrial meets greenhouse, with lots of board games to keep you entertained. The patio seating is also beautiful, and we sat and watched a storm roll in while enjoying our brews. We didn't try the food, but the table next to us seemed to really enjoy the food. We will absolutely be back to get a new flight (they have a large selection of beers to try) and a meal to enjoy at sunset in the future.

Nitro coffee, wine and cocktails are also available for purchase. I loved the feel of the taproom but, should you choose to sit on the patio, you'll get a mountain view in the distance. Lastly, I appreciate when a brewery has good swag so I left with a logo t-shirt in Virginia Tech colors!

The music…read morewas low and the place was not as loud since most people were studying/ but there were some quiet conversations- so the ambience and vibes were a good halfway point between calm and lively. I ordered a vanilla latte with whole milk. As you can see, the latte art was very cute, and it was not like EXTREMELY hot- it was perfect sipping heat. Also very affordable! The muffin was ginormous, and yummy- had to split it with a friend. And I love that there was a toaster and a microwave to heat up any of your goodies! Will be back again!

I ordered the ramen, and while the flavor was definitely there, it wasn't the spicy as I had ordered. Still a solid 8/10 for me. My husband really enjoyed his bowl -- no complaints at all there. The calamari was crispy and cooked perfectly, and the drinks were actually one of my favorite parts. Not only were they super cute (loved the cups!), but they tasted great too -- easy 10/10 on the drinks. The overall vibe was nice, and everything we tried showed that they care about presentation and quality. I'd definitely eat in next time and try more items on the menu

The salad was fresh and the tea was fine. We had no issues, but we arrived just as they opened. As we were eating, a line formed and was to the door. The young man making pizzas was very slow and the only other person was the lady cooking the pizzas and serving them. So, a long wait for those in line.

Great donuts. Truly quaint and sweet little donut shop. Wish they accepted cards. They only take cash and their ATM inside charges a hefty $3.00 fee to get cash out. Maybe in the future they'll take cards. Donuts are great. read more
