This place is usually jumping so have patience. Everything is delish. The lady's were super kind. Cute little place. Great experience!

So affordable. Leagues better (and fresher) than the wawa donuts a few minutes away. Although I love wawa! Emily's: some indoor and outdoor seating - outdoors at a picnic table, shared with a snow cone and ice cream shop. Emily's has donuts and coffee/espresso drinks on their menu and serves ~10 different kinds of donuts, along with Apple fritters, fruity donut creations, and other deliciousness! We stopped here while charging our Tesla less than 2min walk away at the wawa! read more

C-R-O-N-U-T-S!!! I've been eyeing Emily's Donuts for awhile now, but haven't made my way there until today. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted and assisted with my order. I glanced through the case of yummy donuts and of course the CRONUTS quickly caught my eye! I asked if there were two different types and the lady said there was a cinnamon-sugar and a glazed, so I ordered one of each. In addition to the cronuts, I ordered glazed, key lime and salted caramel donuts. There was even a rewards program, so I received 12 points on my first visit. Yay! This was a good 7 miles from home, so I was eager to have them. All I thought about on my ride home was eating the cronuts... LOL. I've been focusing a lot on being intentional, so as soon as I had a bite of the cronut and donut, I immediately thought about how Emily's Donuts had deep intentions of me enjoying my very first bites! The cronuts were everything I could ever imagine... and more! They were light and crispy, so I was immediately hooked! Then I had the salted caramel and I really noticed the caramel with a hint of salt. After those, I took a bite of the key lime donut... wow, wow, wow! The key lime filling was legit! I was feelin' it and lovin' it. I will definitely be back =) Thank you to Emily's for excellent customer service and delicious donuts. read more

Emily's donuts was a great find on the way out of town. The donuts were fresh and we had a ton of choices to choose from. I will definitely be going back for a delicious treat next time we are in town. read more

Tried for the first time with my mom today -- we had the long split, and the glazed and cinnamon sugar cronuts. 1000/10, everything was so pillowy and delicious. Unfortunately for my wallet I will be coming back. read more

Wonderful selection of donuts. We had guest visiting from the PNW and they loved these donuts. Worth the treat!

All I can say is this is the most dangerous place and I mean it in a good way. Their donuts are the best I have had and I have eaten donuts many places from chain stores to bakeries and coffee shops. I had a raspberry donut today... that I am still fantasizing about. It was full of good ness light airy and delectable. My husband had the vanilla with chocolate swirl donut and he second my thought on this place. Their donuts are superior to any donuts we have eaten on the East coast. The people were nice. Small parking area. If you are down this way like we were check out this spot it's quaint, clean and it will not disappoint. read more

Read many good reviews so we had to stop in. The fritters were delicious- the square donuts amazing too. Small shop for takeout- smells so good! Definitely stop at in if you're in the area! read more

This place is incredible! The donuts were fresh and offered a great variety... which is why it was so hard to choose just one. We ordered a few donuts, a giant blueberry roll (don't judge - first time here!) and a cronut. Service was friendly and polite. The location was easy to find and the interior was very clean and welcoming. I admit we ate these beauties in the car with joy and crumbs falling on our pants and sticking to our faces. The cronut was amazing and fluffy and delicious. The only downside is trying to select from the choices, they are all so YUMMY!!! read more

I was visiting for the first time to Williamsburg and while driving on this nondescript road, I saw a long line outside of a place called Emily's Donuts. Of course I had to stop by! If you want some very fresh donuts from a place with local roots, head to Emily's. They make all their donuts fresh, and once they're out, they're out! It's a small store, no inside seating. They have a coffee corner and a cases of donuts. They take payment by cash and card, 4-square and tap card. I would expect to wait in a line in the early mornings as this place is popular. A good place to grab and go donuts. The donut was delicious, you could eat more than one. They're a good size, similar to the chain donut places. They're sweet but not overwhelming. Very polite staff. Glad I stopped by! read more

They didn't have the biggest selection but explained the issue. They still had a bunch of different delicious looking donuts. Service was great and the Cronut was the best!!! read more

Incredible find, delicious and fresh donuts. Absolutely a must visit, probably the best donuts we've ever had.

Really nice! Lots of variety in the case. I like that they were fresh and large. The box of a dozen was heavy, to my surprise! It reminds me of getting donuts as a kid in the 80's. The taste was fantastic and the staff was super friendly and patient. We ate in the shop and were definitely each full from one donut. It was a pleasant and peaceful morning treat. I definitely recommend & enjoyed supporting a local business. read more

Before a long day of grocery deliveries, I made a stop; I was in the mood to support a local donut shop. I had ordered a cinnamon sugar cronut but I think I got a glazed one instead because I definitely did not taste the cinnamon in this particular pastry. And I also got a glazed donut just to see how it would taste because I believe the standard donut is a glazed and if you can't get that right, then you really need to re evaluate what you're doing as a donut shop. The donuts were very good, light and airy, but s really strong sweet glaze. To be honest, not the best I've ever had. It's definitely worth a stop over one of the generic brand places but I was disappointed that I didn't quite get what I ordered. read more

Quality and flavor co-exist here. This small easy-to-overlook shop is not to be missed. Thanks to other online reviews, we knew to stop by early. Every item was eye candy but it was our mouths that were happiest after sinking our teeth into each goody we bought. So glad we got some for later in the day! I understand why a line soon formed behind us and why they often sell out! Everything was that good. read more

Someone brought donuts in from Emily's all the way down in Virginia Beach and I didn't get one... that means there is just one thing to do-road trip to Williamsburg for some! It's such a quaint shop with the coffee bar on one side and one glass display case, but boy are their pastries incredible. I got the blueberry fritter and my fiancée got a Chocolate Covered Holland... because it's her namesake. It appears the Boston Creme is the custard and the Holland is a white fluffy Creme. Whatever the difference it was still an incredible sugar bomb. I have never had a fritter with fruit other than apple, and they are definitely onto something at Emily's with the blueberry fritter. I couldn't stop eating it and destroyed the whole thing easily. Thanks for the amazing sugar high for a total of $4 for two huge donuts. We will for sure be back. read more

Emily's is absolutely amazing. They give you a new appreciation for the donut. Every single one or type is delicious.. like foodgasms exploding in your mouth! The CRONUTS, the Split John's, the Fritters, the Chocolate Holland, the maple bacon... I could keep going Honestly all of them so fluffy, so fresh, so freaking insatiable!! I only wish they were open later so I could indulge into the evening!!!! read more

I love donuts. I travel a lot and always look for the best donut place wherever I go. This place is great, the best in this area by far. The people who work there are very nice too. read more

I stopped here early Saturday morning before heading to Busch Gardens. The store front is just minutes from the interstate. It's a small store with a seating inside and out. There's a decent variety of freshly made donuts to choose from. I opted for the reverse peanut butter cup which is a peanut butter iced donut stuffed with a chocolate pudding like filling and a blueberry fritter. The Reverse PB cup was out of this world and the fritter was also very tasty. I wish I bought a few more donuts for the road! read more

Always fresh and SO good! The workers are always friendly and willing to answer any questions. A must stop if you're visiting!

I see you Emily's Donuts. My family comes down here from Northern VA once or twice a year to hit Busch Gardens. Gave this place a bad review because I was so excited for donuts and was upset they were closed when they weren't supposed to be. Fast forward two years - we tried again on New Years Day, and was excited to find them open. And they were pretty awesome! My kids really liked the basic chocolate covered with sprinkles as well as the yeast donut with cream in it like a sandwich. Wife loved the basic powdered. And we all liked the fritters. Coffee was good too and I liked that they offered a light, medium or dark roast, which is rare for a small donut shop like this. If you are in town for Busch Gardens or Jamestown - be sure to stop and get some donuts! read more

Yummy fresh made doughnuts! Our favorites are: The apple or blueberry fritters Doughnut holes And the candy topping on chocolate covered is a fun one! read more

I'd love to say we got to try or even see some of these donuts. We went at 11:45 on a Monday and they were sold out of everything. My kids saw pictures of the Cookie Monster donut and really wanted to try it or some of the other beautiful donuts pictured in reviews. They didn't have any. Just some powdered/filled and some cake donuts. I wish the pictures for these donuts made it more clear that those are special order and you have to get to the shop first thing in the morning in order to get anything good. I'm sure they are good donuts according to the reviews. My 3 stars is for misleading advertising based on store availability. read more

Great local place. Good selection of donuts. A lot of regulars came in & ordered their "regular" with coffee. The reverse PB chocolate don't was great. My husband doesn't like apple fritters, but likes these. I think they need more apple. The blueberry fritter had lots of blueberries. The store can only have 2 customers at a time during COVID but the line moves pretty quickly. Support local! read more

All I can say is - Yummy. The doughnuts were delicious and the coffee was excellent.

I've tried Emily's Donuts twice and they've been delicious. The apple fritters are especially good, huge, very fresh and with lots of apple. I like the chocolate cake donut a lot too. Good variety of flavors and good policy of requiring masks, only allowing two families in the shop at once and easy ordering and pickup. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. We saw the reviews when searching for a donut and decided to give it a try. The blueberry cake donut was as hard as a brick and was tasteless. I would not recommend this place. read more

I moved to the area a few months ago and this is one of the best local gems I've found. I was super excited to walk in and find the made one of my favorite foods: cronuts. (Cronuts are donuts made with croissant dough) I got over excited & bought 5, but honestly after 2 I've was super stuffed. I also ordered a Boston cream donut. I was honestly lazy & waited two days to eat it, but even a couple days later it wasn't stale???? What kind of witchcraft did they use?? Amazing. However it was kinda pricy. 5 cronuts, a Boston cream donut, & a coffee was over $20. I will deff be coming here again at least once a month. read more

Honestly a great business full of amazing donuts and amazing people. Our club recently ordered donuts from here, and they actually gave us all the leftover donuts from the day. Everyone literally got to take a full box of donuts home, and who would be opposed to that! The shop itself is adorable and relatively small, so I would recommend just bringing the donuts home as opposed to a large group showing up. This is a business that really cares about their customers! The donuts themselves are so rich, and I could not stop eating them. (But actually, I finished 3 in just one sitting). They're dense and packed with flavor. The Reverse Peanut Butter Cup had a peanut butter flavored icing, and the chocolate filling was light and creamy. My ultimate way of testing how good a donut shop is by their glazed donuts. And, let me tell you, they were amazing. The Glazed vanilla cake was crunchy on the outside but still at soft interior, and you did not get a sickly feeling after finishing them. I also would recommend getting the fritter because THEY ARE HUGE and only for 3 dollars! Honestly, for the price, you are getting a quality donut at a great size. I am definitely going back again, and you should too because they have a loyalty program. Also, you get 15% back when you check in, so save some $$! read more

Very simply the best donuts around, possibly ever. These donuts are so good that they have ruined other donuts for us. We stopped at a Duncan Donuts while out of town, and the 1/2 dozen went half-uneaten. Even my sugar-crazed 2 and 4 year olds didn't finish them. read more
