Sarah Donuts

Love this little ice cream shop!…read more I've visited Butter & Cream before, but my latest visit was a favorite. After spending a sunny afternoon celebrating my besties birthday with her and a few of our girlfriends, we decided to keep the fun going with some ice cream. Never too old for a random sweet treat! Although we were already in the neighborhood, we lucked up on a day when everybody and their mama were outside, which meant limited parking. So we had to pay for parking on this visit, but ended up making it worthwhile by strolling around Decatur Square with our cones. I When we entered, there was one employee behind the counter and they were so kind. There were a few customers in front of us and some behind us in line, so apparently we weren't the only adults in the city who were craving a sweet treat. The store was so cute and covered in art and clocks created with ice cream scoops. We decided to taste a few flavors that were new to us and the employee was so patient with us. We all decided to go with the honeycomb flavor, and I added on a scoop of strawberry because I believe in treating myself. I was bummed that they didn't have sugar cones, but a waffle cone worked. My ice cream was SO good! And they were quite generous with the scoops. As I'm writing this out, I'm wanting a fresh pint of my own again. Such a great stop when you're craving something sweet!

Staff was very friendly and answered my questions about what some of their flavors and what was in them. Generous portions and the ice cream was very good! I can't recall the name but the ice cream I chose had cake pieces, cookie dough pieces, and brownie pieces! The store isn't overly large but they do have some seating inside for those hot nights and a bench outside to sit on as well!

Our waiter was super attentive and checked on us periodically to ensure we were good and even gifted us with a scoop of strawberry gelato which was super sweet of him. This is truly a neighborhood gem and I really enjoyed my time here. I'd definitely come back here based off the service and taste of the food alone.

The staff is always friendly, and they have a great loyalty program, so I'd definitely recommend entering your phone number when you visit. My go-to order is the mango sago drink along with the taiyaki with custard. Their custard is a little different from what you'll find elsewhere. It's light and fluffy, almost like whipped cream has been folded into it, with just enough saltiness to balance the sweet taiyaki batter, which has a subtle hint of almond flavor. Since it's right by Emory, it can get pretty busy, especially on weekends and later in the evening. Overall, it's a spot I keep coming back to.

Rebel Tea House and the shops on the block got it right with the free two-hour parking deck, which honestly was the first thing that drew me in. The space itself is boutique, quaint, clean, and smells amazing, with beautiful Chinese-inspired decor. I'm no stranger to bubble tea or fruit teas, but it was my first time here and I wanted to try something different. The woman at the register was incredibly helpful. After I mentioned that I don't like drinks that are overly sweet, she explained the sweetness levels and recommended a tea that ended up being perfect. I stayed for a couple of hours working on my computer and watched the place gradually fill up during the lunch rush. I loved the mix of people coming through -- parents with babies and strollers, people working quietly on laptops, friends playing Uno and Connect Four, and locals just stopping in for their usual tea. It felt welcoming. Also worth mentioning, the bathroom was spotless and fully stocked, which always says a lot to me about a business. Overall, it was just a really pleasant experience from start to finish, and I'll definitely be back.

The flavors aren't so intense as to feel like you're drinking pure [insert ingredient] concentrate, but strong enough to taste everything. The interior is really nice, with lanterns, fairy lights, flowers painted on the wall, a mural on the counter, artificial flowers hanging beautifully in the seating area and in the bathroom (bathroom not pictured). The seating is comfortable and there is good lighting. There are board games you can play and merchandise you can buy, as well. The employees are helpful and friendly. They were able to help me with nutrition information, telling me how much of each sugary ingredient so I could figure out how much insulin I needed. The owner also donates some of their profits and stuffed animals to the charity my sibling receives support from. I had a great experience from ordering to leaving, and I will be back

If there's anything I've learned as a lifelong donut enthusiast, it's that looks can sometimes be deceiving. This was exactly my experience when I first discovered Sarah Donuts. This neighborhood gem, famed for its remarkable affordability, had a surprise in store for me and my 3-year-old son one rainy Monday morning before school. Walking in, we were greeted by a display of donuts that, honestly, looked rather generic at first glance. But as they say, the proof of the pudding (or should I say donut?) is in the eating. We decided to dive in, and boy, are we glad we did! I had the pleasure of trying their apple fritter, chocolate frosted donut, and the delightfully bite-sized donut holes. Despite their humble appearance, these donuts packed a punch with their taste. The apple fritter had a satisfyingly crispy outside and a soft, apple/cinnamon interior. The chocolate frosted donut was a delicious blend of fluffy dough and rich chocolate frosting that didn't overwhelm with sweetness. Meanwhile, my son held onto his pink frosted (likely strawberry, but he wouldn't share, so I can't confirm) donut as if it was his prized possession. His look of pure bliss with each bite was worth the trip alone! So while Sarah Donuts may not look as fancy as sublime or duck donuts, they more than make up for it with their delectable flavors, affordable prices, and delightful service! Rating: 4.5/5 read more

Their online ordering didn't open until maybe closer to 8:30 (it said it would open when they opened at 8), so that was a little frustrating to have to keep refreshing the page. But it did end up opening and we were able to place our orders. When we got there at 9:15, there was not a line and it seemed like they had plenty of inventory, but not sure if it was just a weird day? I had cookies and cream doughnut, and and oatmeal cream pie, and both were heavenly! My friend had a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and said that it was amazing.
