    Irish Cream Iced Coffee
    Allison C.

    Unlike the name might suggest, Daylight Donuts has a a pretty good selection of food other than donuts! I went with a friend and we both got Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissants, Caramel and Irish Cream Iced Coffees, and the Red Velvet and Apple Spice Donuts (already gone before I remembered to snap a pic) . I also wanted to provide an updated menu for 2023! I heard they have new owners but service and the experience were still great! Will be back!

    Mango with tapioca pearls
    Anisha D.

    Okay this review is simply for their Boba. Not their donuts. That is a separate review. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend Bobas here. The tapioca is not nearly enough. The drink is okay at best but I have had far better elsewhere. Further, the straws are not wide enough so it make it hard to eat the tapiocas at the bottom. Now, if you're interested in their donuts, I'd highly recommend the glazed but the boba imo is not worth it ://

    We got glazed, twisted, cinnamon bun and chocolate raspberry.

    Get there early they sell out daily I believe. The chocolate raspberry was my favorite the chocolate was good quality.

    Cute little shop, has more than just donuts, also has the og Cinnabon twists you can't find a lot of places. Very quick and very nice service!

    Bakery breakfast and beverages
    paul s.

    This is a find bakery for me. Not often do you find a bakery this is as much fun as their owners. Retired professor Jeffrey Weaner and his wife Cambodia human rights activist delivers a wonderful bakery breakfast and donuts and many other pastries. I got the cheese sausage jalapeño kolache and it was double delicious The butter croissant was huge, light and tasty. The cream cheese stuffed donut was tasty and not toO sweet I will go back many times Paul E Smith

    Vacation! Johnson City, Tennessee has a little donut shop that went beyond our expectations! This was our first time here so immediately when we walk in we figure it was a simple donut shop with a few options to choose from.. granted we went later in the day so they were sold out of some, but then it happened. They said their donuts can be dipped and filled with whatever it is we wanted.. wow. My dream come true. They had several options for filling, ranging from black raspberry, to chocolate and regular Bavarian cream, cherry filling and more! You also had a choice to dip them in glaze, maple icing, and chocolate! We got several donuts and I was able to try a few. The three I had chosen are as follows: glazed black raspberry filled, chocolate black raspberry filled, and maple iced with Bavarian cream. Boy oh boy they were all so DELICIOUS, and not to mention, they loaded these to the max! The donuts were so pillowy and soft. The raspberry filling was perfectly sweet and paired so nicely with the glaze. I was so pleasantly surprised with the maple and Bavarian cream donut. Everything about it really completed the experience. Generally, glazed raspberry is my favorite donut but this maple Bavarian cream really gave it a run for its money. While being my least favorite of the three, the chocolate raspberry filled was still very delicious and definitely something I would order again. ALSO, I forgot I tried the apple fritter and it was quite possibly the best one I've had to date.. overall this donut experience was a great one and definitely worth a second trip to.. if only I lived closer

    Good service and great coffee! Donuts are fresh every morning and the fresh bear claw they recommended was fantastic!

    The best donuts you can get in the area! Hands down! The place stays packed from open to close, but…read morethey do move you through the line pretty quick. The place is a little small for the amount of business it does. You always seem to be running into someone. But even with the overcrowded store, this is by far my favorite spot to grab a snack in Johnson City!

    We stopped in at Auntie Ruth's for a hand-rolled pretzel and a glazed donut and I had no idea it…read morewas an Amish establishment! What a great surprise. The shop is clean, bright, and modern. You can watch the pretzels being hand-rolled behind the glass, and the donuts hanging in the background while the glaze sets. I truly wanted one of everything. They don't offer a huge variety, but I'm perfectly fine with a place that focuses on doing a few things exceptionally well, and "well" doesn't even begin to cover it. It was busy (always a good sign), so everything was incredibly fresh. We ordered a pretzel, vanilla glazed donut, chocolate glazed donut, honey bun latte, and a strawberry lemonade. We grabbed a table after the manager let us know it would be about 10-15 minutes, but it definitely didn't take that long. The pretzel was warm, fluffy, and perfectly buttered with just the right touch of salt. The cheese dipping sauce was cold-it would have been nice if it were warmed slightly. The "honey" mustard came in a prepackaged pod and wasn't actually honey-based, which felt like a missed opportunity, especially given all the delicious local honey and mustard options in the area. The honey bun latte was delicious!!! Flavorful without being overly sweet. The strawberry lemonade was on the sweeter side but still refreshing and I can imagine it being perfect for a hot day. I added a little water since I can't handle too much sugar at once, and it was just right. And the vanilla glazed donut? It was like biting into a warm, fluffy cloud!! Pure comfort in donut form. My only regret is not stopping in sooner so I'd have more days to come back again and again.

The doughnuts are double the size of most doughnuts and doubly good. The pretzels are huge, butter basted, warm and delicious. It's not inexpensive but the tastes will cure you of any sticker shock. I spent $40+ for 1/2 dozen regular-1/2 dozen chocolate dipped doughnuts and 6 pretzels with dipping sauces and didn't regret a penny of what I spent. Came back on my way out of town and got a pretzel dog and pretzel for breakfast as well as some doughnuts for later. The food trailer in some of the pictures has been replaced by a building on the edge of Troyer's parking lot. You order at the window and most times there's going to be a line. It's a takeout business so you are on your own if you want to eat right away. The folks are friendly and efficient and orders are filled quickly once you get to the window. If you want to get a preview just search Auntie Ruth's on YouTube and enjoy. It's how I learned that there are a bunch of them in East Tennessee. I just know that if I didn't have enough incentive already to visit my niece then Auntie Ruth's finishes the job.

It seems that they glaze all of them and then they top it with which ever one you decide. I got the espresso one but ended up wiping off most of the frosting because it's just too sweet. But it was very good. I also got the pretzel which is also ginormous. Next time I'll ask for it without salt because even wiping off all the salt it was still very salty but it was very very good and soft. If you don't have time and your rush then don't bother coming here because it was probably about a half an hour wait in line.

Most of the time the order still isn't ready or it's wrong. Very often something is left out and they very often cite "technical issues". "Technically" the workers are the only consistent issue. Again, today, I went in and they had one of two drinks ready, the hot food was ready, but had to wait for someone to acknowledge me before I could get the other donut. Got told technical issues and it would be at least 5 minutes before my other drink was ready. Said the ticket didn't print. It say "drink 1 of 2" on the sticker on my cup. Went back through after church to get the drink replaced that I didn't have time to wait on after having placed the order 15 minutes prior to pickup, and it's just watered down coffee with milk. (Was suppose to be a frozen mocha). The mocha wasn't even in the room when this was made. So my $6 drink went in the trash after they failed to make it. Even when I did got through drive through to get it, the girl that made it took 5-7 business days to get the cup to the window and put a lid on it. Honestly, wouldn't be surprised if that location closes, soon.

Even given exact instructions they fail to follow - and very rude and hateful if you take it in and ask for them to fix it. This has been a consistent complaint for MONTHS and it has not improved.
