    Sausage with potatoes
    Lily F.

    I always drive by this place and saw all of the positive reviews so I stopped by one morning to get a breakfast burrito with sausage and potatoes and an Old Fashioned donut. Since I returned from Chicago last month where I was able to eat at my beloved Do-Rite Donuts, I've still been trying to hunt for the perfect Old Fashioned in the DFW area. The breakfast burrito gets a quick shout out because it was pretty unique as far as breakfast burritos go. I was expecting your typical breakfast sausage with pre-made hashbrowns inside, but the sausage that came with the burrito was more like the Eckrich kind cut up into bite size pieces and the potatoes were smashed and still super hot. I think it was so unique also because it wasn't greasy at all. But the Old Fashioned was better than your average mom and pop donut shop, but still not quite what I'm searching for. I'd love to go back and try their cream brulee donut.

    Every time fly into DFW and when I'm on my way to see family, I make it a point to stop by Earnest to get my favorite donuts: Earl Grey and Honey Citrus. The donuts themselves are light and fluffy and the toppings are out of this world!!

    The go to place for delicious novelty doughnuts. The maple bacon donut itself is worth it no matter what your arteries tell you. All of the donuts are always soft and fluffy. The sandwiches and kolaches are also a popular item that get sold out fairly quickly so come early. Also if you go here frequently, there's a punch card that lets you have $10 when you fill it out completely

    What a good little treat for us Las Vegans. We are visiting The Colony for our son's medical treatment. Everything has been very stressful since we arrived from Las Vegas, NV. We wanted something sweet to calm our nerves, and found ED on Yelp! The donut shop is clean & quaint. The female staff (White lady w/ short hair) was incredibly friendly! She suggested old fashion cinnamon roll donut, as well as blueberry cake donut. I'll save the blueberry one for tomorrow. The cinnamon roll donut was delicious, with the right amount of firmness in terms of chewiness and a ton of cinnamon sprinkles enmeshed inside. So happy to have stopped in, and we'll visit again, the next time we are staying in the DFW area!

    Pikachu Donut. I like that the dough itself isn't too sweet so it balances the sweet glaze.

    Delicious donuts and friendly staff! I love their cronut/cronut holes, perfectly flaky & sweet.

    My favorite spot for croissant donuts. Furthermore, the employees are very friendly and they always give a little something extra free of charge.

    So many great options for doughnuts in north Dallas! This one is top 3 on just service let alone the pure freshness. Best crème brûlée doughnut so far with them even making one fresh since the case was sold out. Old-fashioned chocolate was solid and apple fritter was perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. On and the extra glazed doughnut didn't hurt!

    Pretty delicious donuts and close to me so it's perfect! The cronut holes are delicious and I love the texture of them. I enjoyed the blueberry cake donut I tried as well. I recently got the maple bacon and it was also tasty but a bit more sweet than the others. I have also ordered the kolaches and they are good I just wish they had more cheese in the ones that should have cheese. I've ordered some and thought they gave me ones without cheese because I couldn't find any in the kolaches. I love how they usually add a few extra donut holes to the box. The cinnamon roll wasn't bad but it is on the smaller side. Still good flavor and tastes great warmed up for about 10 seconds.

    cinnamon twist, cinnamon roll, croissant glazed, cherry frosting, strawberry frosting, 2 s'mores, banana cream pie doughnut!

    Wow! we arrived 9:45AM, had a great selection of donuts. both of the employees were very sweet as their donuts. What truly impresses me are the donuts freshness, I am 100% convinced that they are made with love and care. I have no problem paying a little bit extra for something that's made delicately. The ambience is just like a normal coffee shop with the addition of donuts. They offer sandwiches with any type of meat, cheese and egg. They also have burritos stuffed with potatoes, eggs, and meat. You can also get donuts customized with letters, but you have to order those 72 hours in advanced. This is 100% my new favorite donut shop in the area. 100% recommend all that are allowed to have sweet treats.

    If you get nothing else, you need to order the croissant donut holes and the Rhode Island coffee! The croissant donut holes are perfect portions - complete with delightful flaky texture, and right amount of sweetness! I was really pleased with their specialty coffee. I appreciate that they have implemented covid protocols: masks required, must use hand sanitizer or complementary gloves upon entry, stand 6 ft apart from other patrons. Even the merchandise is packaged individually.

    Very excited to find paczkis. Very clean, very fresh donuts. Folks are very friendly as well.

    La Diva Donuts is still absolutely incredible! They have such a wide variety of treats, from…read moredelicious sausage rolls to specialty donuts and classic favorites, and everything is always fresh, flavorful, and SO good. Their creative donuts are a huge hit, especially the adorable crown donuts, mermaid Barbie donuts, and so many other fun specialty designs that kids (and adults!) will love. The shop itself is bright, cheerful, and perfect for hanging out or bringing your kids for a fun treat. When I was there, there was a father and his small son hanging out, as well as a couple enjoying some quality time They also offer specialty drinks, and honestly, their coffee rivals Starbucks or Dunkin' - it's that good. The seating is comfortable, the vibe is welcoming, and it's just an all-around great place to relax. Free WiFi and extra clean bathroom too! I love supporting small businesses, and the owner and staff here are some of the nicest, most welcoming people you'll meet. Plus, they have a drive-thru, which makes grabbing your favorites quick and easy. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Ledeva Donuts is AMAZING - please try it!

    My drink tasted rancid and I called to confirm whether or not if the oat milk in it was expired…read morebecause I didn't want to jump to conclusions and write a nasty review. They did check the expiration date and said it wasn't expired yet so at least they did that. But they only told me that they switched the coconut powder for the drink after me asking further questions because the drink did not taste like that before. I just wish I could have gotten a refund, you can't just serve people foul tasting drinks and not offer a refund when they're dissatisfied. I had already left by the time I tasted the drink but the least they could do was offer some store credit or something. It doesn't really matter, I'm not coming back. I couldn't even drink it, I just feel so disappointed. Come here if you want bad customer service and to waste your money.
