Laurel Tavern Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Great donuts, friendly employees. I've never tried the burgers but they smell delicious. The shop is super tiny, but it's worth a stop by if you're in Laurel. read more

I purchased donuts and sliders. Delicious! The burgers are real ground beef made to order. Seasoned to perfection. They also have a big burger that looked just as good. The donuts were cold but soft. I can imagine how good they will be when they are fresh out the cooker. Support Small Business! It was inexpensive but great quality! read more

Amazing donuts, I prefer powdered jelly filled over glazed, but they were still so good, loved it!!

Made a special trip this morning to get sone chocolate frosted twists. I've had them before and they were fantastic. Got to the store around 630am and the only items they had ready was a single tray of half glazed and have glazed chocolate frosted. I asked about the twists and was told it would be an hour. I went ahead and got two donuts which were good but I can't imagine a business opening up without having some of each product ready. read more

Just ordered the sliders today and they were AMAZING! I can't wait to try everything else on the menu, definitely would recommend this place to everyone. read more

This place is so over passed in Laurel. This place is of course a doughnut joint but they sell the best mini burgers (aka sliders). The meat is steamed and well seasoned topped with onions, catsup, mustard and pickles. You can also add bacon if that's your thing. The bun is so soft which sets these burgers up oh so nice. They also sell breakfast and subs as well. The doughnut I tried was the simple glazed twisty. It was good soft and fresh ; very sweet. So go check em out! read more

A tiny little shack, hidden on a one way street in downtown Laurel. If you weren't looking for it, you'd never find them. Thank god for GPS. The folks inside were friendly and making up the sliders and burgers on their flattop right in front as I walked in, so it was a no-brainer to grab some for lunch. I also couldn't resist the donuts, because they're A) delicious and B) FREAKING HUGE. The Boston Creme I got was seriously the size of my fist, and I have BIG hands. For a sack of burgers and a half dozen donuts to take home with me, I spent just over $10. Well worth it, and totally a place to try if you're in the area. read more

Their doughnuts are awesome, but more importantly, they serve up the original Little Tavern hamburgers! The lady that works there worked for Little Tavern for many years, and still makes the burgers the original way! read more

My neighborhood donut shop selling yummy donuts, terrific breakfast sandwiches, and delicious mini burgers. Service is fast and polite, and the food is great and reasonably priced. A must for my in-laws when they visit. I highly recommend. read more

Closest thing I have found to my beloved Montgomery Donuts that I can get near my home in HoCo. They are usually fresh and buttery, with just enough icing to not overwhelm the donut's flavor. Very yummy but coffee was not that good. If you are a donut shop, IMHO, your coffee should be above average. Also, parking was weird. It's right on a corner of busy area off Rt 1, so you have park in alleyway beside the shop. read more

I go back to the days were the burgers were 50 cents from the 'Little Tavern' buy them by the bag the mini burgers found this tavern brought back the memories and taste... read more

I've been on a quest for good, non-pretentious cafe donuts. In the DC area, the "best" donuts are either too tough, too biscuit-like, tasted like whatever else they fried in the oil or the usual Dunkin Donuts (boo). I'm beginning to venture out of the city and I am very well rewarded. You can tell the second you walk into a donut shop if the donuts are good. This shop had that quality. Not having the best customer service at a donut shop is a good thing, too. Their coffee is better than a lot of DC area coffee shops! Their donuts are either soft and airy, or soft and crumbly, and they melt in your mouth. Sooo good. They didn't have old-fashioned cake donuts when I went, so I'm not sure if they sell them, because that is my basis for comparison and my favorite overall donut. My only complaint is that the glazed donuts are a bit too sweet (so sweet you can feel texture developing on your teeth after the first donut). It's a good thing it's a bit of a trek to go. If it were any closer, I think I would have diabetes. read more

This is how donuts are supposed to taste!!! The donuts are light, soft and very tasty. The prices are great and the coffee is good also. I also had a breakfast sandwich which was very good as well. The place is very small and you should get there early for the best selection. read more

Literally a hole in the wall--I don't know how they have space to cook the donuts much less have a counter. Small, unassuming building houses the most delicious fresh donuts. No Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme imitations here--it's the real deal without the fake taste of refrigerated prepackaged dough mix. Best of all, you can sometimes score a warm one. Yum! read more

Laurel Tavern Donuts - Chocolate covered twist - Donuts Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Wow, what a horrible experience. I wish I could give ZERO stars. I walked in looking to taste some old fashioned doughnuts only to be greeted by one nasty lady. I said Good Morning and she replied with a loud disgruntled sigh. I asked if she had some twist doughnuts which she replied No and then walked away. She definitely did not want my money so I left and will never go back. Buyer beware if you can deal with nasty service then you are definitely better than me. read more

Donuts were nice and light, with a very nice flavor. I also had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich: yeah, that is a good sandwich. The coffee was mediocre at best but not bad. Beat the crap out of Starbucks. The two ladies behind the counter were very polite but somewhat shy. They need to get over that. I will be back read more

Great donuts! Bought a dozen for 6 frat boys who were friends of my boyfriend's lil bro and they inhaled them. The donuts are almost as good as Alpha Donuts in Queens, NY or Peter Pan's in Brooklyn! Better than dunkin donuts and the egg and cheese sandwich was prepared quickly and in a tasty way! I highly recommend them if you are a donut fan. Not open on sundays! The staff were friendly. Seemed like a mother son duo when I went. read more

Donuts are soft and tasty, if a little greasy. Even though the place has donuts in the name, and is open until 7 PM, don't expect to get any donuts after 11AM. read more

Laurel Tavern Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Yummy.. went to a nearby salon and got hungry. The closest place to get quick and easy food is this place. We had turkey cheese and eggs sandwich and original glazed donuts. It's so delicious, simple, fast and cheap. The place is easy to find and has ample street parking. They have different kind of donuts and it's very soft and fulfilling. Highly recommended read more

This is my new favorite donut place. The dough is so soft and the taste on point. I will be returning soon!

I stopped in here because: a) I happened to be in the neighborhood and b) It had appeared on someone's list of the greatest donut places you wouldn't realize are great donut places. Except that this place doesn't have great donuts. They're OK. They're small (which could be a good thing) but they aren't what I would put on any list. It's in an old Little Tavern building on RT 1 in Laurel across from the Tastee Diner. It also sells things other than donuts. The typical sandwiches and subs for people on the go and in a hurry. Take out only. It's an OK place but nothing to go out of your way to go to for the donuts or other food. read more

I was ok my way to Columbia Maryland, and yelped donuts. Tavern donuts popped up, so I have it a try. The donuts are not fancy. They look like your typical donuts. There wasn't very much left, so I wish I would have gotten there sooner to see the other varieties. Anyways, I got a dozen for about $9, so it's fairly reasonable compared other places. One single donut is 79 cents Don't let the look of the donut fool you! You know how some donut places sell donuts that taste like bread or it's not as fluffy or soft? Well, this place has soft- fluffy donuts- I took a bite out of the white sugared coconut frosting one, and it was soooo soft! I was surprised that's the donut was so soft!!!! It almost tasted like krispy kreme! I was very happy, and I tried the other donuts in the box and they were all consistent. The donuts here are soooo soft and it feels so gooooood to sink your teeth into them! Love the donuts here! Again, nothing fancy, just soft donuts! read more

If I could zero stars I would. The rudest people I have ever encountered. Seemed annoyed we were in and would barely acknowledge us. Hardly any variety and it seemed dirty. Went to the amish market where the donuts are delicious and there is a ton of variety! Oh and they are friendly! read more

Brought a sausage, egg, and cheese on a bagel, I enjoyed it. Had a glazed donut and it was delicious. It was soft and had the right amount of glaze and sweetness. The prices were good too and they didn't take a long time to make my food. read more

Surprisingly enough I didnt try the donuts...but it was breakfast time and I was craving sustinance. I got the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. Tastes homemade, not that frozen store bought or chain restaraunt taste. Served on real white or wheat bread. Cheese was melted perfectly, covering the eggs and meat, not soaked through the bread. Donuts looked really good, I hope to try them next time... read more

So they tricked me! I thought I was going to get some old fashioned famous donuts and it turned out to be a Chinese takeover!!! I got no problem with the Chinese takeover but at least put that on the sign, or outside on a banner owned and operated by new management!!! This was not what I thought but it was a nice cheap breakfast sandwich shop! It was two elderly Chinese ladies making breakfast sandwiches. It was like an old New York City whole in the wall kind of joint. 3.50 for egg, sausage, and cheese on wheat. The lady kinda seemed annoyed at my presence but I'm use to that vibe I'm from New Jersey. She reluctantly took my order and it came out pretty quick. The food was good but I never got a donut and that was always in the back of my mind. The donuts that were there were old and dusty looking like it was an afterthought. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here but if I'm in the area and need a quick bite o would go here before McDonald's. I have a personal McDonald's band going on in my mind because of all the people that it has given diabetes too and the children it's hurting but that's another story for another day!! read more

Just so-so. Bought my kids in on a flier since we've driven by this place forever. The husband and wife who own the place and eerily silent and not so friendly. The donuts were good, but no better than you'd get at the grocery store. The sliders are no White Castle. The decor is outdated. There's nothing charming about this place to warrant a stop by. read more

Was craving an apple fritter and was one my way to Dutch Market. And the line was huge. Decided to not wait and head to laurel donuts... great surprise. The fritter blew away the Dutch Market, also got a blueberry doughnut and steak egg and cheese sandwich. Everything was great, will be back soon read more

Omg...the best glazed and chocolate glazed twists in the world! I can't wait to try the breakfast and lunch!

Best donuts in the dmv but they sell out all the time. So worth the drive. Go early!!

I've been wanting to check this place out in Historic Laurel, but we always drive up that way in the evening. Yesterday we made a stop after brunch to grab some donuts to take home. Very quaint interior in a cute, small shop. Was surprised at all the breakfast sandwiches and platters offered! The morning rush must have cleaned out some of the donut selection, but I got a sugar donut (my fave), two glazed chocolate twists and a Boston creme for tea later. Even the sugar donut wasn't too sweet. We really enjoyed them. Moist, not-too-sweet inside and crunchyish outer texture from the frying. The glazed were nice and airy. We will come again! Note: $5 min for credit purchase read more

Called to place an order for pick up, as I was on my way to work ... The woman answered the phone seem to have barely understood what I was saying and was kind of rude.. and after explaining the order to the lady on the phone twice she told me order when you come in and hung up on me.... read more

Laurel Tarven has an awesome collection of donuts. They sell pretty much any kind of donut you would expect from a donut shop. Plus they taste light and delicious. However it is hard to get donuts after 1am. But it's worth waking up early ! They also sell the Little Tarven special mini burgers which are amazing. 3 mini burgers for the price of $3 sounds reasonable too. read more

After a Google search for the best donuts in the area, I was directed to Laurel Tavern Donuts. I was excited; donuts are a thing my son and I share as he gets one each week if he's been really awesome. He, like the donuts, was awesome. Not too sugary, perfect amount of glaze and these things are delicious. In fact, I am going when they open tomorrow morning. read more

The donuts are simply amazing here. Theres so much more flavor in every bite compared to their counterparts. For example, each bite of a glazed donut melts in your mouth. Although the customer service needs some improvement, that does not stop me from nabbing me a dozen everyday. Other than donuts, they sell these really cute mini burgers that hearken back to the good ol' days of Little tavern burgers. You do have to wait for the burgers to cook, but the wait is well worth it. I cannot stress enough how amazing the burgers are. Buy them as fast as you can or they will be sold at around 11 o clock. read more

great food. horrible customer service. asian lady will really hang up on you if your not a business line.

I like this place but I don't think they like us. Very flat customer service. Yelp says they open at 5. 605 they have not opened. It is could you see me standing there and they casually come to the door to say nothing is ready. So does the sign on the door that says you open at 6 not mean you have anything ready. read more

I wanted to Check out this place for sometime now and was finally able to on my way to car dealership ! Verdict : softest melt in you mouth donuts EVER !!! It will be my favorite donut place in this area - going back to try more ! Advice to owner : the ambience and Inside will benifit from an upgrade to make it look cozy and welcoming ! read more

Once I had one of the Laurel Tavern's doughnuts I couldn't eat any other establishment's doughnuts without wishing it was a Laurel Tavern's. All the others don't have flavor and just don't have the doughnut eating experience that these have! "L.T." Makes all others taste generic! read more
