    My grandpa Frank LOVED this spot. He passed away last year in August and haven't mustered up the courage to go back. Today I did. Let me tell you why this place deserves more than 5 stars. This establishment has the most friendliest people. Everytime Frank came in they treated him so kindly. They threw in extra donuts and that made his week! During Covid they would take them to his car door when he would pull up. Service is #1 for them and he had to have his weekly pickup. The donuts ARE fresh and yummy. No staleness at all here! The sandwhiches are also elite. The ambiance is a clean, very simple building. Nothing fancy but what makes up the personality is the people of this place. Eating a donut in memory of my grandpa Frank today!

    Located next door to a gas station. What a gem. They feature raised donuts. The jelly donuts, Bismarck's, were on point. Pink icing with sprinkles were delectable.

    Assorted dozen !

    I cannot describe how good these donuts are... I always make sure to grab a dozen every week for me and my family to indulge on. The owners and their kids are extremely friendly and kind as well. Overall great donuts and great service !

    Delicious! I've been in GA almost 5 years now and had NO idea that there was a Lamar's donuts. I'm from Kansas City, MO and we love Lamar's. Haha. Donuts were soft and delicious. I didn't care much for the sugar donut, but the others were delicious!!

    Can I just scream WOW!!? We made a quick stop to grab some donuts to go. When I say the service is fast, it's fast! We were in and out within 4 mins. As soon as you open the door you can smell the donuts. The gentleman handling the register was very patient as my kids picked out which donut they wanted. I got the maple bacon donut. It was moist, fresh and so fluffy. Ray's donut #2 is far for me but will definitely be the only place I'll be getting donuts whenever I'm in the area.

    3 key words describe this place: QUALITY, VALUE, DELICIOUS. Family owned business and a true hidden gem in Buford, Georgia! Their donuts are made fresh each morning. They get super busy during Friday-Sunday so sometimes there can be delays but Ray's Donuts are worth it! Assorted donuts and half dozen donuts are half the price when compared to Krispy Kreme and Dunkin. If you want a wide selection of donuts, get there before 9am especially on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. ATTENTION*** They sell out quick and will have limited options so get there early!

    A side view of the building with the menu posted on wall. It shares a parking lot with the EXXON station

    Basic to say the least. Your typical hole in the wall donut spot where everyone in the neighbourhood flocks because of location. It took me a minute to figure out their exact location because they share they property with an Exxon gas station. The signs on their side of the building were old and out of date. The photo i posted shows them with white masking tape blocking the old donut prices (lol). I personally thought this was distasteful from a business point of view. This did not stop their doors from swinging in on the right and out on the left. I waited a few more moments to see what the constant patronage was all about from my vehicle. It was just before lunch time and i was certain the selection was limited close to "none". As i walked in i don't recall an area for seating. From the looks of it everyone who made a purchase went right back in their car and used it as a dining room. As i walked in there was a very kind woman behind the counter that offered me help. I purchased a glazed donut and a plain doughnut with chocolate icing, grabbed napkins and proceeded back to my car. I had about a 45 minute drive until i reached my destination so i had managed to try one while driving. It was ok as i mentioned before. Basic donut spot with basic flavours Rays appears to be the only spot out this far that comes highly recommended. It did not impress me as much. I will continue my quest for the perfect donut as i reach out to areas that are new to me. Until then, happy yelping #relaxyourdonut

    This place was highly rated and recommended by others so I was truly disappointed when I came. We came at 8:30am and quit a bit of donuts were gone and they are definitely not fresh. It's sad when I feel like Dukin Donuts or Krispy Kreme would of been better. I didn't even finish these donuts because they weren't worth the calories. They are small and taste like old oil that needs to be changed. The coffee is super weak. The customer service was the only thing good and the fact that I only wasted $8. If you want real donuts and support small businesses go to Sweet Apple off a McGinnis Ferry or Sarah's.

Since my…read moresorority sister moved to this incredible walkable community in Buford, I've been spending so much more time in the area and discovering this gem was the ultimate highlight. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh-baked pastries wraps around you like a warm hug, instantly putting your mind at ease. The interior is stunning, bright, modern, and buzzing with the best energy. Even with a packed house of happy customers, the vibe remains sophisticated and welcoming. I spent my wait time snapping photos of the display cases because every single creation looked like a work of art! The staff members are the true stars here; they are incredibly kind, attentive, and eager to ensure every guest has a perfect experience. I couldn't leave without a massive haul. I picked up treats for the entire household and plenty of goodies to enjoy at home later. If you are anywhere near Buford or shopping at the Mall of Georgia, this is your sign to stop in. This wasn't just a bakery run; it was a full experience. I am already planning my next visit! #ashsaidit #parisbaguette #mallofgeorgia #bufordga #atlantafoodie #atleats #bakerylove #freshbaked #atlantablogger #gourmetpastry #shoppingday #visitbuford #pastryart #foodieadventure #communityvibes #breadlover #sweettooth #atlantaliving #weekendvibes

    Cute little spot to grab a caffeinated drink and some yummy pastries!…read more As much as it is a great place to catch up with friends the establishment is not huge with some seating located outside. Beautiful pastries on display are as delicious as they look and are for the most part self service. Options include typical breads and loafs, both sweet and savory pastries, sandwiches, and cakes! A great place for carbs lovers and coffee drinkers!

We placed our order at the counter with the pleasant gentleman, got a tiny table, and waited. And then waited more, and longer and longer, watching ppl march in and then march out with bagged orders. It's OK - I'd be happier to wait on fresh food, and know that they're taking care of orders promptly as they come in, but it was just a reaaaally long wait for average food. The best part about it was the lunch specials - you can't beat a meal with a drink and two sides for $9.99 these days anywhere. I don't understand why dips/condiments such as tzatziki and hummus were considered side items when they really should be just sauces offered especially because the rice was so dry and flavorless, it needed the sauce. The white bean salad and the cucumber salad were identical as far as I could tell, except one had tomatoes and the other didn't. The pita was amazing though!! A fluffy triangle airy bread pillow, unlike most pita that I've had before that's flat. The proteins we had - gyro meat and chicken shwarma - were both tasty, but again, dry and in need of the sauce that had to be chosen as a side dish. The parking lot was a little cramped at lunch with the other businesses and I suppose the other restaurant's lunch patrons, so we had to park on the far backside of the building. Not a huge inconvenience. I think the only way that I'd eat here again would be if I called ahead for a carryout meal, and then, probably only for another lunch special. Eating inside was just a little dreary, and the rest of the menu's prices seemed a little high.
