Life-changing donuts, hands down the best in the DMV -- and I've tried almost all of them in my…read morequest to find donuts that measure up to my former city. The owners are lovely people, too. I will happily pay a premium for these high-quality baked goods from a local business. Try the rosewater buttercream, my favorite, then walk next door to Peregrine coffee for a latte for a perfect breakfast.

Really high-quality and thoughtfully curated flavors…read more When we ordered the banana cream, they had to check if it was still in stock which was a cheeky sign on how tasty the donuts are. Our donut was light and fluffy, with a creme infused with real banana. You can tell that they are being thoughtful on their approach to artisanal donuts, and it really shows up in how they elevate this classic dessert. Its rare to find donuts that balance complex flavors, sweetness level, and good crumb but all of those things are what make it distinct fom others, especially chain restaurant donuts. Of course, these are probably made the day of and ours was a large and substantial size. Its definitely a treat-yourself type of moment to commit to the price point, but we weren't disappointed. My take on high‑price‑point food in Union Market is simple: that's exactly where you'll find it. So once you let go of that once you enter, you have a more pleasureable experience by allowing yourself to indulge and try to find the thing that will really fulfill you. And they did that for me. Thank you beautiful ladies who helped me select my donut!

My husband surprised me with a big box of donuts from Just Fine and they are the BEST we ever had…read more We usually come to this spot for the custard, and notice they also sell donuts but only recently tried them because our colleague raved about them. These donuts are no joke. Fluffy, fresh, light but also thick, and perfect amount of sweetness. You can tell everything is made fresh in-house and the service is exceptionally wonderful. We love the vanilla donuts and the apple fritters! We can't wait to try more flavors.

I had this donut shop on my list of places to try but hadn't actually looked them up to plan a…read moretrip. On this day I was in The Dairy Godmother and noticed that Just Fine was also located there, so it was a good opportunity to try. It was a Saturday night almost 9pm and I didn't realize they were about to close. When I ordered my donut, I asked if I was getting ice cream too, should I pay separately or together and I was informed that since they were about to close, the donuts were free! And they asked if I wanted to try any others. So I got: mango tajin, chocolate cake (not pictured) and chocolate glazed. The chocolate cake was dry and didn't have much flavor. The chocolate glazed was my favorite. The donut was cakey and reminded me of some sweet treat from my childhood that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe some of the Entenmann's donuts? Anyway, it was really good for being a simple and plain donut. The manjo tajin wasn't bad. It's a plain vanilla cake donut with the mango and tajin in the icing. The flavors were good, but it wasn't worth me finishing. I love donuts and I love specialty donuts. While they may have some, this wasn't a place that I will include in my regular donut rotation, but I'm glad I finally got to try them.

These doughnuts are excellent and made fresh every morning. They often sell out, so arrive early, get in line, and prepare to be delighted. Donut Run is a true neighborhood favorite, and it never disappoints.

Dont walk run!!! ‍…read more So long story short I live in Hyattsville maybe 10-15 mins from Donut Run. Huge donut lover and found them on instagram maybe a year or two ago. (Suggest following for daily flavors and updates on selling out) They're open from like 7 AM - 2 pm unless they sell out of donuts before then. Took me literally 1-2 years to finally make it in and when I tell y'all I'm obsessed. Have been back several times since then and it's forever in my local rotation. My favorites so far are the donut holes, chocolate glazed, dc crumb, tiger stripes. Really looking forward to trying most of not all of the flavors they offer. Donuts are amazing, not too pricey, and staff is friendly and seem cool. Interior is small and simple just the donut glass case and register. Highly recommend stopping by Donut Run ASAP!

Ventured here today looking for some fresh fruits and vegetables…read more Was happy with the selection for today. Picked up some yummy fruits and veggies. Was excited to see seeded watermelons and seeded grapes! We also grabbed some jelly's and apple butter. The Apple Butter took me back to Sunday mornings breakfast at Grandmas. The bakery side had a variety of yummy treats from doughnuts, pies, cookies and cakes. Definitely grabbed a few for later. The Apple Pie ice cream my hunnie ordered was delicious. Tasted just like Apple Pie. Looking forward to our next adventure here already.

The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.

This is a new startup business with 2 partners, Crystal and Rick. Crystal prepares all of the…read moredesserts. Rick helps and does graphic arts. You'll see some of his work around the business. They have a unique approach to desserts. Crystal can custom make a dessert for you while you wait. You start with a base (donut, cake shell, pie crust, or rice crispy treat). You add icing, pudding, toppings, or fruit to the base. The more you add, the more it costs. They can cater for events. After 3 visits, we tried 6 items. 1) Custom dessert    Miniature cinnamon rolls, cream cheese icing, chocolate pudding, strawberries, and bananas. The cinnamon rolls are not listed as a base, but Crystal suggested using it. They were soft, moist, and slightly sweet with just enough cinnamon flavor. Overall, the flavors were well-balanced and mild. It was good. Some experimenting is needed to get an ideal dessert. The choices are numerous. Sweetness can be adjusted in some components. I can appreciate that! 2) Banana muffin with toppings of vanilla icing, crushed vanilla wafer, and a vanilla wafer. The muffin was soft, moist, and slightly sweet with a good banana flavor. The icing had a light vanilla flavor with a modest sweetness. The wafers were typical. I'm not a fan of a lot of icing, but this vanilla icing was very good. This was one of the best tasting in this group! 3) Banana pudding pie    It had an individual-sized pie crust filled with banana custard. The custard had a prominent banana flavor with the right amount of sweetness. It was smooth with a nice richness and thickness. This was simple, but very good! 4 & 5) Blueberry muffin and Chocolate muffin. They were both soft, moist, and slightly sweet. The flavors were mild. There were chocolate chips in one and real blueberries in the other. The blueberries were slightly sweet, which is a nice detail that some bakers don't do. Everything was good tasting. 6) Rice Crispy treats    There were 4 treats in a pack. They had different flavors. One was mango flavored with powdered sugar on top. That one was the best and most interesting in taste. The other 3 used regular rice crispies with marshmallows. One had chocolate syrup soaked into it. It was okay and rather simple. One had strawberry icing with candy hearts. It was sweet because of the hearts. The rest of the flavors were mild. One had strawberry icing drizzled on it. Simple and okay tasting. The service was friendly, informative, and helpful. Crystal is one of the nicest people I have met. She tries to tailor desserts to your liking. She'll listen to suggestions. The dining areas and restrooms were very clean. They are located in The Spot Food Hall at Restaurant Row Apollo shopping center which is near the Branch Avenue Metro subway on the Green line. Parking is plentiful and free. This is a local small business that appreciates your support! Give them a visit when you're in the area.

I consider myself a donut aficionado, so this is 100% a must-visit when you're in DC. Don't quote…read moreme, but I think there are a couple locations around the city (plus a food truck) and they all run the same menu. I always go for the classic vanilla glazed donut, a chicken sandwich with a little kick of hot sauce, and an OJ from the fridge. It's filling without making you feel sluggish after. Solid spot if you're a food influencer and need another DC stop to add to the list.
