Headed back to the airport from a weekend of camping in the Poconos and just wanted something quick and delicious. My hotel told me that it was worth the 15 minute drive out of my way to visit Donut N Joe's... and boy they were not lying! I was a little worried they might be picked over when I arrived around 10, but they still had a really good selection; things like coconut custard which I enjoyed along with a chocolate cake doughnut that was the best I've ever had. They've also got chocolate iced, Boston cream, lemon filled, cherry - filled you name it and I think they probably got you covered. If not, the breakfast sandwiches I saw coming out of the kitchen were pretty phenomenal looking. They have egg and cheese, bacon and cheese sausage pork roll, egg and cheese bagels, again it's gonna be hard for anyone to be disappointed here. Unfortunately, they were out of the other coconut that is topped with caramel drizzle and some other goodies, but I left fat, happy and with a big old honkin' smile on my face. The staff is super friendly, the place was immaculate and I'm surprised they even had any product left when I left because it was a constant line out the door. I will certainly add this to my route for next year's camping trip. Hopefully on the way over I can pick some up for our group to enjoy as a whole. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS DONUT SHOP! I promise you it won't be disappointed, They've only been in business for two years and I believe she said they opened another location too, that this was hands-down the best donut experience I've ever had in my 65 years. And not saying quite a bit....because this fluffy old bag loves a good doughnut and delicious coffee. read more

Lazy Sunday. Woke-up-at-1-p.m. kind of Sunday. Tried to wrestle myself out of bed to get to Ressler's Bagels, but found out it closed at 1. What can I say, early bird gets the worm, and I never get the worm. So I pulled up Yelp looking for a comparable egg sandwich and found Dough N Joe. I'd been meaning to try their donuts anyway, but saw they had breakfast sandwiches, so I had to bust out and go. Funny enough, I pass one near work all the time and thought that's where I was headed, but GPS took me to Mechanicsburg. C'est la vie. I like a nice little Sunday drive, so here we are. Got there close to closing, pretty quiet, nobody really in there, donut selection a little picked through. but I grabbed an egg sandwich on bagel with cream cheese, a custard donut, and a cherry cake donut, then bounced. Sat in the car and started eating the sandwich while driving, which is a type of love language. Really good sandwich. Now, it wasn't quite the loaded, gooey, dripping egg sandwich my 1 p.m. soul was seeking, pepperoncinis, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, the whole artistic gooey goodness. It wasn't that. But it was really good. I definitely wouldn't call it standard fare. The ingredients were quality, the chew of the bagel was excellent, and I can still remember biting into that thing. It just wasn't the exact sandwich fantasy I woke up chasing. But the real tour de force. the reason you go to Dough & Joe is the donuts honey. That cherry cake donut? Big, Big, Big Fluffy. Airy. Cakey. Cherry. So good. Seriously, everything about it was so good. And look, I'm on a little health kick right now, so homeboy can't be eating giant cherry cake donuts all the time. I had to stick my neck out a little. when in Rome. Had a guilty conscience about it. Worth it. #cheatmeal Completely worth it. Highly advise you go. Highly advise you get the donuts. I also got a custard one that the fat boy in me wants to demolish, but I may hand it to my roommate because honey... it is not on the meal plan. You understand. Only thing I can knock is I wish I'd gone during peak morning energy. I showed up in my weird late-boy window, and I feel like I missed the full ambiance--the cases packed, espresso machine hissing, people piling in, the Mechanicsburg morning hustle. I bet that version of this place is its own kind of magic. So I'm giving Dough & Joe 4 out of 5 stars. Docking one star only because I didn't get to experience the full New-York-hustle-bustle-in-a-Mechanicsburg-morning fantasy. read more

Dough N Joe maintains the level of quality and creativity they have had since they opened. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and quick. The store is clean and the management continues to develop relationships with local businesses & repeat customers. There's Urban Churn pints for sale in the feeezer case and local milk in the refrigerator case. It's easy to earn perks checking in with Clover - I have not received any spam, but I have earned a bonus drink and my next dozen is on Dough N Joe. The "pistachidough" donut is delicious and the decoration is artful. The staff member helping me was willing to create a couple l donuts to accommodate my child's inclination for only their vanilla & strawberry iced with sprinkles. read more

This year, I decided to fully lean into self-love and make Valentine's Day extra special for myself -- and somewhere along that journey I discovered Dough N Joe's social media post about their legendary HEARTZILLA donut. It was love at first sight. According to their ad, the GIANT HEARTZILLA donut is a massive, customizable, heart-shaped masterpiece designed to feed 6-8 people. Naturally, I ordered one for...myself. As soon as pre-orders opened, I secured my spot: strawberry icing, peanut butter filling (because obviously), and instead of choosing a written message, I left a note asking them to surprise me with something sweet since this was my first Valentine's Day on my own in a long time. Total cost? $20 -- $18 for the donut, plus $1 for filling and $1 for the mystery message. Honestly, a bargain for a donut with main-character energy. Pickup was scheduled for Valentine's Day Eve at 10:30am. I arrived right on time, found plenty of parking, and walked inside to see my HEARTZILLA already boxed up with my name on it waiting near the front door. Ordering online had been simple, payment was easy, and pickup was completely seamless -- always appreciated. Determined to fully surprise myself, I refused to open the box until the next morning. The anticipation nearly took me out. At 5:30am on Valentine's Day, I finally opened the box... and I'm pretty sure angels started singing. This thing was HUGE. And the surprise message written on top? "Be your best self." Hand me a knife because I am absolutely about to become my best self by eating as much of this giant donut as possible. The strawberry frosting was sweet without overpowering the fruit flavor, and the peanut butter filling was everything I hoped for -- clearly peanut butter (not just vaguely tan-colored sugar fluff), light, airy, and perfectly whipped. Together, it tasted like a PB&J in donut form, which was exactly the vision I had when placing the order. The donut itself hit the perfect balance -- not too heavy, not overly dense, but still substantial enough to feel like a real indulgence. Somewhere perfectly between "I just ate a bowling ball" and "Did I even eat a donut?" From ordering to pickup to the actual eating experience, everything about this was fantastic. I especially appreciate their online ordering system with customization options -- it let me take my time, double-check my choices, and avoid the stress of hoping a phone order didn't get lost in the bakery chaos. Dough N Joe's seasonal and holiday offerings clearly bring a lot of fun and creativity, and I'll absolutely be keeping an eye on their social media for future treats. Huge thanks to Dough N Joe's for making my Valentine's Day feel special. Made to feed 6-8 people, but happily devoured by one girl on her own, fully committed to loving herself on Love Day this year. read more

We've been here early with lots of options and later with very limited options and every time it's been great. The coffee is delicious and the donuts are really good and fresh. My son loved the everything bagel breakfast sandwich! Service was decent and it's a clean little place. We love having a donut and coffee shop on our way to school and work. read more

Dough N Joe - Dark chocolate iced coffee - Donuts Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Ordered Dough N Joe's in Mechanicsburg for a "First Day of Fall" treat for our office. We ordered 3 dozen assorted donuts, and they absolutely did not disappoint!! The donuts were ready and waiting when I arrived. The donuts were fresh and we were all impressed with the quality as well as how stuffed with 'filling' they were! We will definitely purchase from this location again! If the one in Camp Hill would have had a bigger selection, we would've ordered from there instead. They are much closer; however, driving to Mechanicsburg was worth the trip, for sure! read more

Hands down the best donuts in the Harrisburg area. I'm not even sure where to start! They are always fresh and tasty, with a generally flufdy/flaky texture in the varities I've tried. Thank heavens they are not closer to home or else I'd be in every day and triple my weight and waistline. YUM YUM YUM!!!!!!! Oh, and the service is also great! read more

Heck yeah! Fabulous donuts right here in Mechanicsburg, PA. These donuts are sooooo good, it's a consideration when thinking about moving out of the area. I've only had the donuts. And every single one of them was great. Other than personal preferences, there is not a bad donut in this place. From the basic to the seasonal, they are all great. The cream filled are a personal favorite. A single donut runs just under $2. A half dozen are about $10 and a full dozen are about $20. They also have donut holes, fritters, and other pastry/bakery items. They also have breakfast sandwiches . . . but the donuts are so good I've never tried them. However, everyone who has tried them says they are good. Their coffee is good and there are also several other drink options. There are also GF items. There is a good variety of donut flavors, but they do go fast some days and sometimes they sell out. Chocolate, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, peanut, cream, glazed, powdered sugar, strawberry, maple, etc. . . . and seasonal flavors like the gingerbread for the holidays. They have tallow donuts which immediately improves my opinion of their product. These are (seriously) some of the very best donuts I have ever eaten. read more

Fresh donuts and tons of flavors to choose from. Tried almost two dozen and the sour cream and Dutch crumb are my favs - the Dutch crumb brought back childhood memories. Only thing is the cream filled ones could use more filling. Otherwise great spot, will be back! read more

This place has really good donuts, but what is most impressive is the variety of flavors. I got a chocolate banana donut that was really good. I have never seen that combination of flavors for a donut before. So fun and so good! I'll keep going and trying different flavors! read more

Ordered their Easter special, egg shape donuts to decorate at home. Came with donuts, icing and toppings. Donuts were pre ordered and ready to go when you walked in. Just grab your order and go. I ended up going to the camp hill location but my order was at the Mechanicsburg store. The woman was very friendly and nice about it though. Service with a smile! The place seemed super clean, brightly lit and friendly staff. Will definitely go back to try their other selections. The donuts we had were light, fluffy and delicious. read more

Finally a doughnut shop that actually sells fresh homemade doughnuts. I ordered a plain red velvet and plain cake "old fashion" donuts and both were delicious. The doughnuts are also double the size as Dunkin doughnuts and fresh. I was also happy to see they sell Harrisburg Dairies products. Employee was very pleasant and loaded with knowledge I was impressed that she knew what was inside all the filled doughnuts. Shop looked clean and bright. They were running low on doughnuts but I don't hold that against them due to me stopping in so late, but they still had a nice variety available. read more

The flavor of these old-fashioned donuts is amazing! The staff is really friendly and fast with their service.

I tried the Peanut Butter Filled donuts and they were the best of that variety I have ever eaten. The filling was not over sweet and the donut had a thin chocolate covering on the top with a dust of peanut. The flavors go very well together. I tried the Vanilla Cream filled powdered donut (Sometimes called Angel Cream). The donut was Fresh and tasty but i took four bites to find any cream filling. This was the second different time that I have tried this one with the same results. Someone has to be consistent when filling the donuts because there is nowhere the amount of filling in these as there was in The Peanut butter or custard filled donuts. I also tried a Bacon,Egg and Cheese on an English Muffin and Being honest I don't want my eggs poured out of a carton. If you want something fresh like a hot breakfast sandwich go two doors down to "Joy's grill & burger house" Fresh real Food. But back to the donut review still giving them 4 stars because of how good the Peanut Butter filled donuts were. Took them to work and they were gone in a flash. read more

As someone who grew up in Houston with a Shipley's Do-Nuts on every corner, I was so sad to learn that the northeast favors Dunkin', which gets all their donuts shipped to their locations frozen and thawed for the most bland yeast donut you've ever had. Other than that, so many people here prefer cake donuts, which are way too sweet for me. So I've been on a crusade to find the best yeast donut in the Harrisburg area. Today, I found it -- it's Dough N Joe in Mechanicsburg!! Also a huge fan of Fresh Donuts in Lebanon, but this is much closer and so more likely that we'll return time and time again. The glazed donut is, in my opinion, the true barometer for a donut shop's prowess, and this one impresses -- its got a nice flaky sugar topping and the yeast donut beneath it is soft and fluffy. I just wish I had managed to get there when they were still warm from the fryer. I imagine they're especially heavenly then!! I also tried a French glazed, which has an eggy, moist consistency. Very unique. I'm not sure I'm a fan of that style, but it was something new to try. The chocolate sprinkle was perfect as well, same yeast donut base with a thick layer of chocolate frosting, encrusted with sprinkles. I will definitely return and I'm so excited for this addition to the greater Harrisburg area!! read more

Very good . Friendly staff! Like the concept. Excellent donuts Always busy and staff is very helpful

HIDDEN GEM IN MECHANICSBURG !! My girlfriend is from New Cumberland and said how all of these new spots have opened since going to college in Pittsburgh. Whenever I travel to unfamiliar places I'm always on the hunt for donuts. I showed her this place and she hadn't been so I took us there yesterday The second I saw these donuts I knew these were gonna be DYNAMITE and trust me they were. First the inside was super clean and bright. I enjoyed the lighting, made seeing the options way easier. They moved fast and everyone was nice I'm not a yeast donut person. I do not like them. They're too boring and not filling. Team cake through and through. They had a good amount of cake donut options. It was amazing so we got a half dozen. Most places only have 3-5 Left to right: Red velvet - 5.5/10 I don't like red velvet. Just wanted to try Crushed PB - 8/10 It almost was like peanut butter on the outside for how crushed it was. It's dry Chocolate - 8.5/10 Solid. Samoa - 9.5/10 Coconut was so good, not artificial, not loaded with caramel and chocolate Coffee - 10/10 I will have dreams about these Blueberry - 8/10 Solid. read more

I've visited the Carlisle Pike location. Fresh, soft doughnuts. Huge variety. Coffee is good, too. A little on the pricier side but well worth it! I Would much rather support a local business with a great product than something mass produced from a huge corporation. read more

OMG all that is needed to say! ( love the glazed as my fav) however the stuffed donuts are heaven's pillows of deliciousness. read more

Stopped in, TBH, bc we found a coupon in the Clippd magazine this week. Grabbed a dozen donuts to share with our adult kids this afternoon during football games. This place offers a first responder discount...thank you very much!! Donuts look and taste good. Not overly priced in comparison to other options. Will have to go back to try coffee at a later date. The store seemed clean and quiet. Service was quick and friendly. For any locals from Mburg HS in the 80s/90s...Mrs. Ashenfelder was working the counter. Check it out. I love to support local businesses. read more

I have to say I have been here a few times and I always get excellent service. I normally come at the end of the day and the donuts they have are still fresh light and fluffy. Today I had the pleasure of chatting with Randy, a lovely woman who exuded nothing but positivity about her job and the products being made. My mother loves the French crullers and I love the Samoa donuts, neither disappoints. The red velvet cake donut is also a favorite. A nice fresh option to bigger alternative bakeries. The place is also bright and clean, an inviting place all around. read more

Light, fluffy, and filled doughnuts. Very friendly and quick staff. Flavorful and large. These are worth every penny. Went back again a week later to take some into work.

A great donut, good and fresh. Love the selections and a donut that is the way it used to be every morning

Fresh fresh fresh. Some of THE best donuts I've ever had, and I'm picky about my bakery. They just don't have cake donuts but also raised donuts (unlike some other donut shops). A large variety! I'm thrilled that they opened near us. Happy happy joy joy ! The owners are welcoming, friendly n helpful. Nice new place. Great service and thankfully good hrs to get the goodies not just in the morning but all day. A must try! Hurry on out before I buy them all out. I'm now a fan and a regular customer. read more

Dough N Joe is an incredible donut shop with super nice workers and a great selection of donuts. We went around 9am on a Sunday and they still had a huge selection of donuts left, we tried their seasonal donuts: Apple spice and pumpkin spice, which were great, and some classics like Boston crème and iced/sprinkled. We all ordered coffee, which was very good! They had options for iced and flavors which was surprising for a donut shop--not alternative milks if you need those but still more options than some other places. This is my #1 recommended donut shop in the Camp Hill/Mechanicsburg/Harrisburg area!!!! read more

Finally, a real donut shop in the area. I think Wegmans has a great bakery and their donuts are good. And Dunkin' is fine if that's what's available. But in my humble opinion, Dough N Joe kills the competition. Just really good donuts. My personal favorite are the sour cream ones, glazed or not. read more

My mom picked up a dozen donuts for company from Dough N Joe and they looked too good to pass up. Well, let me tell you that the donuts I tried were the BEST donuts I've ever had. They were fresh, light, and stuffed with filling!! I cannot wait to try more! I didn't try the coffee yet, but my mom mentioned replacing her Dunkin' car sticker with a Dough N Joe sticker on her car, so I'm betting it's just as wonderful as the donuts. read more

Mediocre at best. Bought a dozen miscellaneous donuts. Cream was barely existent and extremely runny! Do not recommend! Complained on Facebook so they blocked me. I noticed anyone that complained gets blocked read more

I donut feel right adding a review since I didn't get to try the "Joe" but the "Dough" was great! I went away from my norm (basic glazed) and got a powdered donut with apple pie filling. Delicious! I only had one donut but I look forward to trying more as well as the coffee! read more

My boss had a meeting and they had some donuts from here. The triple vanilla and chocolate peanut butter filled are amazing!! Fresh and sweet but not sickeningly so. I grew up eating another local donut shop brand and have finally found something I enjoy. I was greeted with a smile and hello from the young lady behind the counter. The shop itself is set up like a quaint donut shop. Not a lot of fluff but inviting with the white shelving displaying all the baked goodness on them with plenty of variety. They have breakfast sandwiches too. They'll have my patronage and I'll tell others about them too. read more

FINALLY, a donut shop that makes homemade donuts! Mom and pop donut shop comes to mind. The selection is wonderful with nice and unique flavors, such as the cherry cake and lemon cake. But let us not forget about one of the most amazing, the French cruller, with vanilla frosting. All were nice and fresh and stayed fresh throughout the day, because who can only get just one? Definitely stop in and try to choose a couple because it's well worth it. The coffee selection looked plentiful but we didn't have any, definitely next time. read more

Donuts are great! Fresh, flavor, variety and they are larger then DD and Duck. Overall just a great donut. Good coffee and nice people behind the counter. It is a new place and so it is clean. Price wise they are more than DD and as much as Duck, but the donuts are much better. The only draw back for me is that it is take out only. Would have liked to sit in and enjoy my coffee & donuts, but these donuts are too good so I will sit at home and eat them. With all the DD going up around in the area I hope Dough n Joe does well. Only advice is find funding for advertising ... Downtown Mechanicsburg can be tough on businesses - People need to know you are there. Seen many places come and go the in the past 12 years - so get your name out there. My favorites so far- French cruller, Jelly and Cream.... read more

These doughnuts turned a doughnut denier into a doughnut lover. My daughter, fiance, and I look forward to our weekly dozen. The array of flavors is impressive and unique. Diane is always lovely and welcoming and they all work hard to keep the place immaculate. We miss the later hours but it does keep us from stopping in too often. read more

Hands down, the best selection of donuts! I couldn't decide between PBJ, Strawberries & Cream, Apple Cinnamon, or Blueberry filled. They talked me into a Blueberry Filled with Cream and Crumbs and it was THE BEST...until I ate the Glazed Apple Cinnamon...which was even better. It's super cool that there are different options for many donuts, too. Glazed Apple Cinnamon or Apple Cinnamon Sugar? Blueberry filled or Blueberry filled with Cream and Crumbs? I'll be back! read more

I love local shops and have been looking for a good donut shop. I came across so many rave reviews from the next door app that I had to find this new local gem. Find it I did and I was ecstatic. I had to order a dozen to take advantage of the variety of donuts the have. My kids enjoyed a traditional glazed donut, strawberry filled, peanut butter filled? I had to have a taste of crullers. They did not disappoint! The staff are as equally wonderful and sweet... I have found my favorite local donut shop! Their hours are 0600-1800. Can't go wrong with any of their donuts. read more
