    Classics and crazy offerings
    Mark J.

    This place is so cool! Awesome decor and music. Supreme vibes all around. Their classic donuts are great and my kid loves the crazy ones, especially "unicorn farts." They also make stellar breakfast Sammie's. Recommended the BEC on croissant.

    Wow! In light of the things I heard from folks at the gym, their donuts are great...but when I arrived there were 6 people waiting for orders and a constant flow coming in. As I'd just come from the gym, I was pleasantly surprised to see they also sell food- breakfast sammys and grilled cheese and Smashburgers. I ordered 3 doughnuts and burgers for my husband and I. The burgers were phenomenal - the guy in line was right - and only $9. Very reasonable for the high quality. The doughnuts were very good ! Fun! The panty dropper (maple bacon) was the perfect sweet and savory combo.

    Decent donut shop (came around 10AM)--got the cinnamon crunch donut which was a yeasted donut. The cereal on top was stale and the topping was a bit too sweet. The girl at the register didn't seem to know what donuts had what inside them. We asked what the fillings were for some and they kept going to the back to ask. The also didn't know which was a cake donut and had to get clarification.

    Hey friends! One thing I'm gonna do for sure is reward myself with a sweet treat lol. I stopped by Diablos to celebrate leaving a job I hated which was close by. This was definitely the BEST way to celebrate. I'm still thinking about those donuts lol. Service was super friendly. I was greeted with a warm hello and smile from both employees. She was super patient with me as I decided with flavors I wanted because they all sounded so tempting! While these aren't the best donuts I've ever had, they're certainly good. They're worth the price. I paid about $13 for four donuts. The donuts are huge compared to average donuts such as Krispy Kreme. The texture is more on the doughy side, they're cake-like. I prefer light, airy donuts like Shoppers donuts. Even with all the toppings, I appreciated that they were not overly sweet. If I'm ever in the area I'll be sure to stop by at Diablos again. Just do it, reward yourself with that sweet treat lol! With love, The Picky Pescatarian.

    Delicious! We were craving some out of the ordinary donuts and Diablo hit the spot. The dough is super fluffy, idk, just straight up delicious.

    nothing much to say other than this doughnut shop is the BEST SHOP IVE EVER BEEN TO yes i'll be back!!

    Starting at the top left is a coffee bean, sin crunch, unicorn farts, and apple cobbler

    Even though the restaurant was full to the brim when I walked in, they greeted every customer as soon as they walked through the door. While there was a long wait because they were busy, the staff was extremely polite and appreciative of everyone's patience and nobody seemed upset. Because it was so packed, I wasn't able to get pictures inside but it was an absolutely adorable place and I hope to be back soon! The donuts were delicious, we loved every one we had!

    Creative culinary innovations are made here at Diablo Doughnuts. A small batch artisan bakery packed with epic ideas and designs placed on to the top of each donut they serve. Giving a total new meaning to "serving up creativity." Who knew that a simple circle of fried dough could be so artsy! With that said...you won't find the norm donuts/doughnuts here. Instead of a simple glazed, powered cream filled or the typical apple fritter, you will find the "Bra Popper," "Lemon Meringue," "S'mores," "Everything But the Bagel," "Coffee Bean," "Your Mom," "Lemon Cookie Crunch," "Unicorn Farts," "Berry Cheesecake," "Sin Crunch," "Panty Dropper," "Homer," "Blackberry Lime," and "Raspberry Bomb," are just to name a few of Baltimore's favorites. If any of these sound interesting/appetizing, you'll have to stop in to check them out to taste them for yourself! Tip: If you go towards closing time, you'll get a few added to your box for free! They love to gift surprises.

    Fresh doughnuts ... got the coffee bean and a one for my son. The place has an upbeat vibe with interesting decor lol. The employee was very friendly and hospitable

    Not bad! The donuts are very beautiful, and I love the variety, hours are awesome as we'll we were driving through before a hike and it was one of the few places open that early! The creme brûlée donut - ample filling which is always a plus, but the caramelized sugar on top was hard of give that crack, which I would expect from the name. The Apple fritter was doughy and undercooked in the center, would have loved more apple pieces. My friend had no complaints about the maple bacon donut. Probably would try somewhere new over visiting again.

    This place always has a line out the door. The doughnuts are good though not to mention fun and creative still tasty all at the same time.

    This place was on my list when the location was closer to me. I went once, without planning, and got nothing. Tried once at this location, again without planning *smh at myself*, and they were almost sold out. Third time's a charm because I arrived as they were opening at 6am. There were 2 of us buying doughnuts and each person/employee greeted us with the warmest smiles and gratitude. It's a small but mighty and well decorated space. All doughnuts on display to help visual shoppers like me! I grabbed half a dozen to share since it's not so close. I got a glazed, a couple Panty Droppers, a Sin Crunch, a Berry Cheesecake and a Homer. I can personally vouch for the glazed, Panty Dropper and the Sin Crunch. All samples I had were delicious. Got rave reviews for the other 2 flavors as well. Such a good experience all around, I completely understand why it's best to place an order ahead of time.

    Infringement, Creme Brûlée, ODB, Blackberry Lime and Pumpkin coffee

    These donuts were so delicious and such a great price considering the size and quality! The service was great, I really appreciate the girl answering all the questions that we asked about all the flavors! Definitely will be back!

    Do any regular customers have info/tips on parking? Since Diablo moved, I've only gotten Diablo from closer sellers (e.g. Bmore Licks, Cafe Latte'da), and I rarely drive to Federal Hill.

    Idk if it's the best tip but when I frequented there over the summer, I often snagged a spot across the street in front of the Grilled Cheese Co or drove up a bit to the light and parked on the very next side street. The side street (if you make a…

We arrived around 9am on a Sunday morning…read more They have seated area with full service or an area you can order to go or eat in options (full menu available) with seating upstairs. There is also a little shopping area where they have loaves of bread and other goodies to purchase. Bought a loaf of sourdough on the way out and what I really appreciated is they will slice it for you as well! We started with Smoked Chai Lattes and a seasonal Creamsicle type beverage. The smoke notes to the chai were prevalent but not over powering - a unique twist. We ordered a pistachio baklava croissant to share - flaky and and filled with pistachio paste inside. I would recommend it! For our meals we had the Egg & Cheese Biscuit, Ham and Cheese Béchamel Croissant and Egg White Omelette. They were all good and filling. Our service was good, but relaxed towards the end - started out attentive but we were done with our meals quite a while before someone came over to ask if we needed anything or offered the check. We really didn't mind since we hadn't caught up with each other in a long time, so appreciated not being rushed out of there. We also were in a back corner, so may not have been the most noticeable. Everyone was really friendly who worked there. Loved the open kitchen concept where you could watch them making all the donuts and croissants. The ambiance was so on theme even to the details in the restrooms and the lighting fixtures looking like whisks! Will definitely return in the future.

    This was my first time visiting the German holiday market in Baltimore, which is kind of surprising…read moresince I've lived in the DMV my whole life. After walking around and trying a few savory things like bacon, schnitzel, and a raclette sandwich, we decided to end the night with something sweet and stopped by the mini donut stand. The first thing that caught my attention was the long line -- which is always a good sign. The second good sign was being able to watch them make the donuts fresh right in front of you. I'll happily stand in line any day for fresh food, especially when you can see the whole process and watch the magic happen. I went with the cinnamon sugar mini donuts and wow... they were so good. Fresh, crispy on the outside, warm, and perfectly sweet. The only thing I wish I had with them was a cold glass of milk -- although I'm not sure if they offered that. Honestly, I'd come back to the market just for these donuts. Eating them fresh right on the spot is definitely the best way to enjoy them, but they'd also be great to bring home and pop in the air fryer to get that crispiness back. My friend got a different flavor (I can't remember exactly which one), but both were incredibly fresh and the kind of treat that makes you want to keep coming back for more. Next year when the market returns, this stand is definitely going on my must-visit list again. After enjoying all the savory food at the market, these warm mini donuts were the perfect sweet ending.

    This was my first time trying Deddle's. I didn't get donuts; will try them next time…read more I had sourdough lemonade and the chessman banana pudding. The lemonade was very good and there was plenty to drink, even with ice. My banana pudding didn't have any bananas; didn't bother me at all. Just thought I'd mention it. Staff was professional and helpful. The lady handing me my order insisted on helping me put everything in a bag for easier transport. Will be trying the donuts the next time I'm at Lexington Market.
