This place is as good as everyone says! It's drive thru only and you need to get there early. I got there a couple hours after opening and they were already sold out of most things. I did manage to get an orange twist which was huge and delicious and a bear claw which was also huge and delicious. Highly recommend giving them a try if you're around. They are pricey but truly worth it to me! read more

Davis Donut House - Orange twist - Bakeries Near Me - Forest City, North Carolina

Donuts are good but I've had better and the price is outrageous! $40 for a dozen donuts? They must have the market cornered in this little town. Also disappoint they don't offer long johns with whipped cream filling, only custard so that was a let down. Probably won't go there again read more

These donuts are average. Not worth the trouble and heartache. They open at 7 am, and I got my order at around 7:50 am. The donuts were not even warm. Apparently they also close early, as soon as they run out. They are drive thru only, and service is extremely slow still. Also, they were recently close for over a week because their repairman wasn't showing up. I would rate it lower, but this is one of the only donut places in the Forest City area. read more

Went in this morning to find out they only make certain flavors on different days. No mention of that info anywhere! Not on website, not on storefront, nada. Since they are only open 4 days a week and sell out of popular flavors by the end of the day, my husband went there first thing in the morning, to get me something I was finally craving and able to eat, since I'm recovering from cancer. Bad business ethics, no matter how good the donuts taste. we will never go back or support a business like this. read more

i love the drive thru access. I just wish they wouldn't run out of doughnuts so rapidly. The orange donuts are refreshingly delicious !

Absolutely great donuts and staff. Only open select days and sell out donuts quickly. But, worth the trip.

Davis Donuts are a must when visiting Forest (locally pronounced Far) City. The orange twist tops the list of delicacies to try, and I recently snagged an orange cake donut I didn't even know they made. Unfortunately, Davis has taken a step back in recent years in terms of atmosphere and service. It's drive-through only now. The special feel just isn't there. But the donuts are still good. read more

Well I guess I will burst the locals bubbles who think this is a 5 star. I honestly think the donuts are good but seriously almost $30 for 12? I would have gave 4 stars but because of the price and not being able to go in and see what donuts are available and no prices outside it is a 3 star rating! This is the second time getting donuts here. You can not ask how much a dozen is because they are all individual prices. You can not go in to order you have to go to the window to order. A big inconvenience when you have no idea what to order and you have no idea what the individual prices are. The first time we went it was about $24 but we bought more bear claws and we figured ordering donuts would have been cheaper this time boy we were wrong!! The place next door is very rude when you go in asking about the donuts, We would never deal with them it's a small coffee shop and open to the donut shop. Apparently they sell these donuts when they the donut place is closed at a upcharge but the two businesses are not the same place. The older woman at the window was nice but when there is no signs and no prices you feel real stupid to keep asking questions. Over all if we ever go back it would be when they open the inside so we can see what we are getting and individual prices. Make sure to ask prices before ordering a dozen you never know what you will pay! Review #630 read more

Stopped at Davis Donut House to pick up 2 dozen to take to work. The doughnuts were very good. I hate that they only offer drive thru service. You really can't pick your doughnut selections. Very, very pricy. I guess you can charge whatever you want when you are basically "the only game in town". read more

I seriously dream about these donuts. I would happily wait in a two hour line if necessary. As most know, they're known for their orange twists. But you really can't go wrong with any donut from here. Plus, the family that owns it is incredibly nice. read more

I recommend the orange twist. They are so delicious. Never had a doughnut quiet like these are I give them a five star, and a thumbs up

This place has amazing donuts I think I may have tried them all and my absolute favorite was there maple bear claws, but what they are known for is there orange glaze twists if you haven't had one you need to stop by and get em while you can. read more

Love Davis Donuts!! They are a decades-old favorite in Rutherford County, and they continue to serve up the best doughnuts ever. The orange twist is famous all around town. read more

The orange twist donuts are to die for! I could eat the half dozen we bought (but of course I will not). We drive an hour to get these as a fun trip in our Samurai and to celebrate reaching my weight loss goal. Trust me the drive was worth it!! read more

Best doughnuts ever! Delicious!! They are fresh and wonderful! Got to try the orange twists!!

Home of the BEST orange twist donuts! I usually make my order via their Facebook page and go pick up by the next morning -- they have always had them ready on days when I wanted to take them to share with other co-workers, friends and family members! Be ready for a massive box full of delicious goodness! read more

THE BEST DONUTS EVER!!!! The Orange Twist donut will change your life! Sooooo good!!!

I will say this is no chain store Donut. If you want cheap stamped out donuts this is not your store. These wonderful creations like there bear claw are a work of pastry art. I just parked in the parking lot with my wife and had one it was beyond my expectations. Quality and taste equals happy customer thank you read more

Local business by local owners. Fresh, made daily. Davis beats ANY chain donut. The apple fritters are the best most delicious fritter I have ever had. I am pretty sure that if you live here, you don't buy donuts anywhere else. read more

Davis Donut House is my home town donut shop. While growing up, they had a small place downtown...and they made X number of donuts...when they were gone, they closed! This often meant that you had to get there early! They have now moved to a bigger place...and have more donuts...but, when they are gone, they still close! So...how are the donuts? Excellent of course! Davis makes fairly large donut, a bit bigger than Dunkin Donut size. Most of their donuts are the cake type, so they are quiet dense. But, their glazed are not as dense or caky...some where between a Dunkin and Krispy Kreme. Makes them quiet yummy! Their signature donut is the Orange Twist...a long, cake donut with a great orange flavor. They also make a Cinnamon Twist in a similar style. One last thing...these donuts stay fresh longer than most. While home over the holidays, I bought a few one day...and two days later, without microwave, they were still quiet fresh. Great place if you are in Forest City, NC! read more

My family gets orange twists and other various donuts from this donut shop every Christmas. They are delicious. Recently I went in by myself and got like 3-4 dozen donut holes because of how cheap they are. It's like $2 and change for a dozen (to my memory). Great prices and great donuts. Better than any restaurant chain. The ladies of this donut shop are all very kind as well. Extremely respectful and friendly. You can have your Krispy Kreme and your dunkin donuts, I'll take Davis Donuts over both any day. Love this place!!! They'll have my business forever and I will definitely return again and again!! 5 stars for kindness, hospitality & respectfulness 5 stars for taste/flavor and quality of food! Everything is made fresh in the morning!!! (That's the best time to go-- first thing in the morning when you wake up-- they're open before 7am!) read more

I went yesterday, mid morning. They still had some donuts ( locals know to go early to make sure they get their favorites!). Mom and I split a cinnamon bun. Best. Ever. Light and moist, with the perfect amount of cinnamon. This is a bun, not a roll, so the top looks like a large version of their fruit filled donuts. It has a great glaze over it, like a yeast raised donut. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great donuts from a local bakery. I was just visiting for a few days and found this place one morning. I purchased a half-dozen variety and we ended up tasting them all. Our favorites were the apple fritter and the glazed cinnamon roll but later we found out that they're known for their orange twist so if I went again I would try that. read more
