The employees/owners are lovely people and the donuts are delicious. So many choices! Maple-bacon, apple fritters, chocolate glazed etc. I highly recommend this place! Perhaps the best reason to support them: they donate donuts to the homeless. A wonderful business that gives back to the community! read more

I HATE DONUT WORLD!!! They are ruining my diet! I am addicted to their donuts and find my car wheel inexplicably turning into their parking lot on a regular basis now. Help! My all-time favorite is the maple old fashioned and thankfully I haven't been able to find any in town for years. But then here comes Donut World! Drat! And the chocolate ones are just as good! And they make some kind of things that look like little pillows. They're good too! Arghhhhhh! Stay tuned for my reviews, I suppose I'll be reviewing Jenny Craig or Weight Watcher's soon! read more

It's blasphamy for a Southerner to love anyone's doughnuts better than Krispy Kreme, but Donut World has the best doughnuts I've ever tasted! Though not a doughnut, their Apple Fritter is the best pastry in Greensboro. Totally addictive. As a friend told me "Their apple fritter is better two days old than any other pastry fresh." All of their doughnuts are fantastic. And a great selection. Highly recommended. read more

You just can't beat a good Donut World fritter or doughnut. Fresh made every day, just great...especially with a cup of coffee. read more

I was expecting something big. Like best donuts you ever ate following the rating on this one. Dissapointed. I seriously don't see any diff with this place and others donuts place around. The place is not really clean either, donuts don't taste any better than other places. I wanted to get a cappuccino with it, machine was broken. They don't test their stuff the morning until somebody come and ask for it and realize it's broken. I just put 2* instead of 1* because they offered me an additional juice for the inconvenience, but def not the best place for donuts. read more

Friendly staff, freshly baked and so yummy. We came in just before they closed for the night. We were worried the doughnuts would be old and stale, but they were absolutely soft and sweet. We had a blueberry & a chocolate sprinkled. Took an old fashioned and a chocolate cake donut for my dad. We will return. Sorry Krispy Kreme. read more

Best donuts!! The Devils food cake with chocolate frosting are the best!!

If you combine Krispie Kreme & Dunkin Donuts you get the perfect donut....that's what Donut World has! Yummy!

This place is keeping me from being completely dessert free in my diet. I'm so in love with their apple fritters that i can't pass by without grabbing a bagful. Plenty of apple pieces lurk inside the moist interior, while the crunchy exterior is glazed with a light frosting. The batter has just the right amount of cinnamon to offset the sweetness of the glaze. read more

Great, fresh, homemade style donuts. Loved by my kids. Buttermilk is like breakfast cake. Very homemade tasting. Try this out! read more

Donut World - Love the donuts and apple fritters!!!!! - Donuts Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Great donuts and worth the trip. Only reason I can't give them 5 stars is because of my latest visit, which was this morning. They were actually out of regular glazed at 10am. Out of regular glazed?? How could a donut place be out of regular glazed? Could you imagine if KK was ever out of regular glazed?? Anyway, shocking and disappointed, but I'll give them one mulligan..... read more

Great doughnuts and the guy behind the counter even got real half and half out of the fridge for my coffee.

I love these donuts. Classic flavors done consistently well. Now that I've moved away I crave the convenience and flavor of Donut World on a weekly basis. I find Krispy Kreme to be too sweet; these are just right. The staff is always patient and friendly and from what I can tell, the kitchen and dining area are clean and neat. Don't expect any fancy latte making or the modern foodie experience. This is Donut World, classic donuts done right without all the frills of other bakeries or coffee shops. read more

I'm a fan of Donut World mainly because it's a tried and true experience! This location is no different, except for the fact that it is perhaps cleaner than the other. Donut selection later in the morning after the rush is still very good. The Donuts themselves are fabulous and seemingly always fresh! I believe they'll still be around after some of the more expensive newbies are gone! read more

Best donuts around. Slightly less sweet than Krispy Kreme but fluffier. So good! I'm a big fan of the original & Boston cream, my partner likes the apple fritters and buttermilk donuts. Everything is amazing! read more

Wow, is all i can say, the donuts are fresh and delicious. I got a creme filled, apple fritter, and sour creme. all of them are so good. worth the trip to greensboro! read more

Donut World and I have a love/hate relationship. I love their apple fritters, but hate what it does to my figure. Every once in a while I will stop by and pick up an apple fritter and a coffee for next to nothing. They are ridiculously affordable and goooooooood. Thank you, Donut World, for tickling my taste buds on occasion. read more

What a great selection of donuts! At first I was a little hesitant to try this place because I am a Krispy Kreme type of girl. But this place did not disappoint. For starters they carry my favorite donut which is a maple bar. It was very fresh tasting and they added just the right amount of maple frosting (most places skimp on the maple frosting). I highly recommend the maple donut. This place also carries all the basics such as creme filled, glazed and twist donuts. I will say that this place doesn't carry designer coffee so don't come looking for that. read more

This si world i go to get a little fattening done. These doughnuts go to the fun areas. I mean the really fun araes. I recommend to stop by and have the doughnuts and then have a salad for lunch. That would be a good balance. read more

Wonderful family run business. We've taken our children here every Birthday morning since they were old enough for donuts, and we visit about once a week. The apple fritter, bear claw, and chocolate chip are some of our favorites. read more

Finally, a great place for real donuts here in GSO. I'll admit, I'm from NE and am NOT a Krispy Kreme lover. I grew up with mostly cake donuts, the kind that are big and heavy and fill you up after one. Well, that's exactly what this place has. They have a great variety of flavors to keep everyone happy (2 adults and 3 kids in my crew) and are very reasonably priced. It's located a couple of blocks north of the Battleground, and I hope that keeps them busy. Every time I've gone in there's been a line. Not huge, but enough that it's obvious there are lots of other people in GSO who are happy to find a place with real bakery donuts. Thanks for opening here Donut World! read more

An apple fritter par excellence, the very best I have ever had. Its an addiction. Donut are always fresh. Nice friendly staff.

Clerk charged us more for donuts without telling us about the price difference. When asked about the price he said "they haven't updated the pricing thats displayed but yeah, I charged you more." A minute later my 5 year old dropped two donut holes on the floor and when I asked if he'd mind replacing the two he said he'd need to charge me because we wasnt Allowed to replace the two dropped donut holes. The fact he Did charge us more than the listed prices without even mentioning, followed up by not offering to help when my kid drop two of the little donuts was just a crappy Customer Service experience. The donuts were good, but lots of places have good donuts. The clerk was useless and having just moved here, I'll find another place for my family to go to. read more

Love this place! Great selection, always seem to be open and the staff is very friendly! Feels good to support a local business and they never disappoint when making my custard filled donuts! :) read more

Nothing short of amazing. Great friendly staff, super clean and best donuts I've ever had.

This is our favorite donut spot in the triad. My wife and I visit this Donut World every Sunday after church for fresh donut and a cup of coffee. The staff is very friendly and the donuts absolutely delicious. read more

Krispy Kreme was renovating and were transporting doughnuts from the High Point Rd location, it was gonna take around 25 minutes so we went up the street (less than 5 minutes away) to Donut World instead of waiting. I'm so glad we did. I think they are much better than Krispy Kreme. read more

Donut World - Chocolate covered Custard filled doughnut! This was so good. Donut World is hands down better than Krispy Kreme. - Donuts Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Cool little spot to grab some donuts. The donuts are large and have a home made taste to it if you are in to that.

This would be a five star review IF there weren't gnats all over the front case. They weren't in with the food, but it still gave me pause. THAT SAID, BEST DONUTS I HAVE EVER EATEN. I had the strawberry rise and the Apple fritter. To me, the fritter is good, but mostly just straight up sugar (we're talking donuts, here, so know, that's like saying the water is made of water) BUT I wished it had a little more substance. I'd eat it again though. NOW, let's talk about that STRAWBERRY RISE donut. I COULD EAT A DOZEN OF THEM. It was amazing. I am THRILLED that I don't like closer so that I won't be beating myself up about not going to Planet Fitness enough because I ate so many donuts and I've gained weight, because if I lived close I'd be screwed. So. good. read more

I like the consistency of krispy kremesdonuts better than donut worlds. The donuts at donut world are more dense and cakey. I like the larger selection of baked goods though. The bear claws and apple fritters are awesome. read more

The best donuts in Greensboro! We love the chocolate raised and the sugar donuts. The apple fritters are fantastic. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing that they don't serve coffee. It would be nice to have one-stop-shopping but that would probably destroy the quick in and out they have now. They have milk, juice, and soft drinks in a cooler. read more

Large selection, more cakey texture to their donuts than KK if that's what you're used to. The donuts I had were a little dry, but tasty. I haven't been back, still looking for a good bakery/pastry shop to visit every morning. read more

I work at a local hospital and a family member of a patient brought in a box of Donut World donuts for the staff. I was hesitant to try them because I am a Krispy Kreme girl and I hate Dunkin Donuts, so I was very skeptical. The donuts were insane good. I had an apple crisp and it was like a little piece of heaven in my mouth! These donuts are amazing! read more

Great place for a great product! Always fresh tasting and always has a good selection. My husband loves the maple bacon donut. One of our favorite places in Greensboro by far. read more

Simply put, these donuts have been the best donuts I have ever tasted. I am no interested in any other brand...at all. The plain glazed is big, fluffy, non greasy deliciousness! I eat one and I am totally satisfied. Great product in multiple locations. read more

Great doughnuts and selection. Service is prompt and friendly. I go there more often than my wife would approve.

I live in the DC Metro area where you have a lot of Flunkin Donuts and Two Krispy Kremes within driving and train distance. You don't have good choices. I came down a couple of weeks ago and visited Donut World. Man, the doughnuts melt in you mouth. I will definitley get some more this weekend when I come down. Wish they were up here. "Best Doughnut Ever" read more

Simply awesome doughnuts. Add an extra star for anything with maple glaze.

Simply the best apple fritter on the planet!! Got lucky and caught them coming hot out of the oven! Very nice selection of doughnuts, sure to satisfy all. read more
