Move over Dominique Ansel, Freddy Donuts got you beat at the cronut game. Being from New York the cronut is a staple- Freddy's got them beat in every way- the cronut itself is super light and crisp. The flakey buttery layers is heaven. The size of the cronut is huge compared to the Dominique Ansel one. Freddy's is the size of your hand where the other is a quarter size smaller. The cronut at Freddy's is also cheaper going at $4.25 versus $7.75 at Dominique Ansel. They come in glaze drizzle, chocolate and vanilla drizzle, maple drizzle and French toast. Cronuts not available or don't feel like a big cronut...ask if they have the cronut bites. They come in a set of three and you can get either glaze drizzle or cinnamon sugar. The size of their classic and specialty donuts are huge. We are talking easily can be sharable (if you want to). Currently the pricing of their donuts are: $1.95 house/ $2.75 specialty/$2.75 cake/ $3.25 monster filled. They have quite the creative list of flavors. No gluten free options though. Their donuts are light and flavorful. It's not overly sweet at all and well balanced. By their size you get your bang for your buck. If you want to get your choosing of flavors, it's better to go at the start of the day. Later in the day you chance that they could be sold out on flavors - especially if they are busy that day. The donuts are packed in whimsical boxes that are colorful and say "You Deserve A Donut." They also have drinks for purchase but we didn't grab any- maybe next time. On the wall they also have cute donut themed shirts with popular cartoons and characters like Bluey, Pikachu and Deadpool. There is limited parking around the shop. Otherwise plenty of street parking. We took our donuts to go but you can also dine there in front of the store where they have picnic tables. The building looks like it might have been a service gas station in the past. It's decorated with a snake mural and they also have neat drawings inside on their chalkboard menu. We will definitely be back since we have friends that live in the next town over who are also huge fan. 100% recommend this sweet place. read more

While staying at the Publisher, I couldn't resist stopping in for breakfast treats. Once I saw cronies on their menu, it sold me. Their version was nicely glazed if not as flaky layered as other places. I even brought some back to my hubby in Atlanta and he enjoyed his VA treats too. Stop by and support the local businesses! read more

Freddy Donuts - Yummy donut options with cronuts too! - Desserts Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Another road trip stop added to my east coast travels! What amazing donuts! We couldn't decide on one each so we went with 6 total to share for our 9 hour drive. Freddy's cronut was, hands down, the best of my life. Already regretting that we had to share it... Service was amazing, even when I asked what each donut was since the signs were missing. And what a cool space! I'm so bummed that I can't have a Freddy Donuts in my regular rotation. I also wish it was closer because I want a donut birthday cake SO BAD. Do yourself a favor and stop in whenever you can and enjoy! read more

Stopped in while visiting from Connecticut and Fred's absolutely delivered. We grabbed a mix of specialty donuts plus the biggest cinnamon roll I've ever seen, and every single thing was excellent. The salted caramel and churro donuts were the standouts--both were ridiculously good. The Fruity Pebble donut was total sweetness overload in the best way possible. Even the coffee was really good. If I lived closer, this place would be a problem. read more

I love a good carb and these were worth it. Soft airy dough! I had the cronut minis , Oreo, glaze. I bite all them lol amazing . Also have pup cups so me and pup had a snack and it's by the park, so great Sunday funday read more

Still our favorite donut place in the Burg! Folks are always friendly! The donuts are ALWAYS fresh! They make them fresh on site, sell them until they run out and make more! They DO run out sometimes because well, like I said they make them fresh and do not store them. If you want all your favorites in stock every visit I'd go to a chain store. If you want fresh delicious donuts and maybe the best apple fritters I've had, them check this place out! read more

Not really sure...we might have hit them at the wrong time. It was 2 hours before closing and they were almost out of donuts with just a few of their chocolate caramel and their carrot cake donuts remaining. We took one each and the carrot cake donut was the winner. The server said that they had some big groups come in and kinda clean them out of donuts and they were considering closing shop. Right after us the a few more families came for coffee and they literally closed shop.. good for them. Now seems like a gas station building converted into this cool little donut n coffee shop. May try again if I get a chance. Btw...while we sat and enjoyed the donuts with coffee on their benches we saw a lot of families come in and try to open the door only to be told that they had closed early. Definitely looks like a local fav. read more

Super friendly and quick service. The selection of donuts was great, and each one we picked was phenomenal. Didn't have a chance to try the coffee, unfortunately. Can't complain about the prices either -- 3 donuts ran me just over $6 in total, which feels fair. An easy recommendation if you're in the mood for donuts! read more

3.75 is a better average. Came towards the end of the day so the selection seemed limited. Got an apple fritter, funnel cake donut, and pumpkin cider cake donut. The only one worth getting again - is the apple fritter. But I still give that no more than 4 stars. It was way too big / thick, low glaze to donut ratio, but I thought the texture was solid. Chewy, not dry, and good taste. Just needs to be about half the thickness and a little more glaze and it would be closer to a 5. The other two were just ok. read more

We have been searching for a donut shop we could support and we did! FREDDY DONUTS! We bought a cinnamon roll, which was huge with balanced flavor, soft texture and tasty with plenty of cinnamon swirl and icing. The blueberry donut had a crispy exterior, soft moist interior with a decorative with glaze. Yummy. Next time, we'll get the coveted APPLE FRITTER! The service was inviting, and professional. The interior was clean with fun accents. There is a parking lot with several spots. Exterior tables and chairs are available under cover. We sat at the teal painted picnic table in sunshine. We'll be returning. read more

Amazing spot for gourmet doughnuts. There is nothing standard about these - we had a snickers doughnut covered in caramel, chocolate, and peanuts, and a cronut, and they were borderline life changing. The pumpkin spice dirty chai was also amazing. There is not much room inside, but there are several covered picnic tables outside. This is a great place to grab a dozen doughnuts to go when you need to bring something to a work meeting or are feeding houseguests. read more

Came here for the first time and oh my lordy, I do nut believe how many times I've driven by here and never stopped to grab me a donut. They were having their last day of girl scout cookies special today so I got their samoa, a horchata, and a regular maple glazed donut. Donuts are well cooked. Well decorated. So delicious. Call me a fatty or call me a donut connoisseur but boy, did I fall in love with their donuts. Absolutely reasonably price... like it reminded me when the local mom & pop donut shops didn't break a wallet to get a couple of donuts. I also tried their horchata chai latte... a bit sweet for me but it might've been sweet because I was having it with the maple glazed donut. I'd still go back for it again. Service was quick and friendly, how you'd like for a donut shop to run. I was told that they do close early if they run out of donuts so go early folks! read more

Best donuts in the Burg hands down. Huge! Expensive...but great treat! Good assortment...need to add chocolate on top of your glazed cronuts! There is an artist working in the back! read more

Best donuts south of DC. Don't miss this place if you are a connoisseur of pastries. Great service and always greeted with a smile

4.5 stars! Service was friendly and quick. The shop is small and does not have indoor seating. If the weather is nice, there are two picnic tables outside. We tried the glazed blueberry and chocolate cake donuts. They were way bigger than a Dunkin donut and way less sweet, but still had flavor. The Boston cream donut was delicious as well! I love that it's family owned/local too. read more

Freddy Donuts - Mixture of donuts - Desserts Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Amazing fresh and fluffy donuts with creative flavors like Samoa, caramel macchiato, French toast and horchata, plus cronuts and cinnamon rolls (weekends) and really delicious coffees. Everything is made up fresh onsite throughout the day. The donuts are huge, cronuts and cinnamon rolls even larger. They also offer some turnovers and other pastries. Servers are friendly and will happily tell you the specialty flavors of the week and make suggestions for coffee drinks. There's often a line because everyone knows how good the donuts are here but they keep it moving as fast as they can. If you bring your pup they have a jar of dog treats too. All seating is outdoors. There's a private parking lot and street parking. It's a short walk to the Mary Washington campus or old town Fredericksburg shopping too. For my money these are simply the best donuts in Northern Virginia and I'll happily drive the hour to get them. read more

Freddy Donuts is a cute little donuttery located in DT Fredericksburg, with friendly service and a a great selection of donuts. Their location was once a service station, Fredericksburg's first, and it's cool that they preserve the city's history. We ordered 8 donuts, including flavors such as: the Strawberry, French Toast, Maple Glazed, S'Mores, and jelly-filled. The yeast donuts were airy and fluffy, and the toppings were generous! There are some tables outside of al fresco dining to enjoy your treats, and plenty of parking. +great selection of donuts +friendly service +outside seating available +plenty of parking read more

Yes, I am back. Your favorite self certified, donut, connoisseur, aficionado, sommelier. This location pops up like a bright star in the middle of a dull desert. The exterior is brightly painted and gives a nice artistic flair to the neighborhood. There's a cute mural on the side and outdoor seating. It looks like a converted gas station. I got lucky that when I arrived on a early Saturday afternoon, there wasn't anyone waiting, but many people came in after me. So I was greeted and served quickly. There's a nice selection of donuts, and I decided to go for the glazed, jelly, and the flat cronut. I've never seen a flat cronut, so I had to try it. The glaze was not out with the other donuts, so I had to request it. It had a nice fluffiness, wasn't too sweet or too sticky on the fingers. The flat cronut was quite interesting. Crispy on the edges, a little gooey on the interior, and a nice amount of sweetness. The most disappointing was the jelly. If you see my other doughnut reviews, I don't like the fake gelatinous goo of strawberry jelly that many donut places use. But I took a chance, and that's exactly what it was. So that negatively impacted the experience, and the donut itself was just average. So, overall, it's worth a stop, and you won't be disappointed. read more

They got rid of student discounts but the donuts are still very affordable. They are so big and sweet, I would recommend going with something basic, if you're like me. I tried the boston cream in the past and it almost put me in a sugar coma. I had the strawberry glazed more recently and it was the perfect level of sweetness without feeling so dense and heavy read more

Donuts are very great, will go there when I get a sugar craving. You can sit outside to enjoy your sugar treat and add a coffee.

good lord!! what delectable donuts! we had to get a half dozen as there were so many we wanted to try. our favorite donut was without a doubt the cronut! we also had samoa, maple bacon, pumpkin spice, inside out boston cream, and chocolate raspberry. as of this typing, we have had a bite (or two) out of each, but there is still a full box to take home. server was friendly and helpful for two first timers who had to know what everything was. read more

I may be back to try something different but the options were limited the afternoon I went for cake donuts and I'm not a huge yeast donut gal. I went with the pumpkin spice old fashioned but I really didn't get any pumpkin flavor. It was cooked well, crispy outside soft inside but just lacked flavor in general. This one fell a little short for my first try. read more

Legit some of the best donuts I've ever had. The prices are a little expensive but it's worth it. I had 6 different donuts and all of them were delicious to good but if I was ranking them I'd say: cronut, specialty Oreo, glazed, French toast. blueberry pie, and old fashioned donut . Whenever visiting Fredericksbrug I'll definitely need to come back to get these delicious donuts again and try the other flavors I missed out on: cookies n cream, Apple fritter, cinnamon roll, and fruity pebbles. read more

Had to stop by while I was in the area. So in love! Doughnuts are made fresh everyday, every hour. The dough on every doughnut is so fluffy. Each doughnut ranges from $2.75-$3.75 each.

Came here a bit later in the day so the options were slim, but the donuts regardless were super tasty! I don't usually frequent donut shops but a stranger I met on the street told me this place is one of the best Fredericksburg has to offer, and I gotta agree (at least for donuts). Paired well with coffee! Service was great, donut was tasty, seating options are mainly focused outdoors. read more

Okay, I'm ashamed to say I have been missing out. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' has nothing on Freddy's. I have always heard how this place is a FXBG staple and it seriously lived up to it's great reputation. In a peculiar location, seemingly an old gas station and the parking is a bit wonky. But once inside, it is cutely decorated and inviting and adding in that the donuts are absolutely delicious so it's worth navigating for what you get. Walking in, I was greeted by the staff who were friendly and willing to answer any questions I had. I tried the Blueberry cake donut along with some espresso. Phenomenal and freshly baked donuts that melt in your mouth. I'll be back! read more

Spent the day in Fredericksburg and gave Freddy's a try before heading out for the day. I went with a Boston Cream and their version of a croissant donut. The Boston cream was quite good. It had a lot of filling and is quite heavy, though not dense. The croissant donut was interesting... A square of laminated dough with what seemed to be a bit of a cinnamon-sugar topping. I thought the texture was quite good. We did also get one of the apple filled donuts which was a bit off. I'm not sure how they make it, but the dough on the inside was fairly raw. Might have been an off bake. read more

I Love Freddy Donuts. The Cronuts and Apple Fritters are the best items on the menu (in my opinion and when they are available). I would love to give them 5 stars but can't. The options are always very slim. And the service is insanely slow. Expect to wait at least 5 minutes for only 1 customer. There is usually only 1 person running the counter and when a drink order is placed, everything else stops so the drink can be made. read more
