    Obsessed. Probably the only place in the area we'll ever get donuts from! So fresh and delicious and the flavors are amazing! Absolutely worth the price, which wasn't that expensive for a small shop, wait to come back and try next flavors in 2 weeks!

    There is a constant line but because most people just grab some doughnuts and head out, the line does move very quickly The doughnuts here are excellent but I wouldn't go crazy waiting in line before the doors open I'm really glad to have a doughnut shop focused on doughnuts rather than coffee, for this reason they will always have my support Flavors here will be rotating much like crumbl cookies There is no indoor seating

    There isn't a wait any longer and you can put an order in online ahead of time. They do sell out, so be sure to check their social media sites to get the status of whats left. P.S. get the iced coffee

    Absolutely loved the glaze and spice (Margarita & Tajin). Definitely had a nice amount of lime zest. However, the donut itself was very dry. I would understand if it was old and I hadn't gone directly to my car to eat it.

    Okay - came here because my daughter has been raving about this place, so this morning I decided to try it out. People were already waiting for the doors to open. The line went quick and the selection was awesome. The smell alone had me in donut heaven. I tried the Mummy - a brioche donut filled with buttercream. Love the crunch of the donut and plenty of cream in every single bite. I have never had a donut this good in my life. Pricey? Yes. However, it is worth it in my opinion. I don't get them on a regular basis, so this was a treat. As they say, you get what you pay for!

    Oldest daughter forced me to give Sleeping Bird Doughnuts a 2nd chance. We had a split decision on our donuts. I think the inside of my donuts were overdone. She likes a crumbly donut so she liked her donuts. $4 for a boston cream. Check their instagram and facebook before going. They will sell out and close much earlier than the hours posted on google maps.

    We love Sleeping Bird Doughnuts! Their rotating menu is fun. Highly recommend following their Instagram to stay up to date. I also recommend placing your order in advance online, as they sell out quickly!

    I really wanted to enjoy these doughnuts but quite honestly I was taken back by the actual doughnut and not the toppings. I think the innovation is there with the assorted selections. The cake doughnuts were my favorite but honestly Giant makes a better doughnut. Maybe I'll give it another try.

    I always go for their BOGO from 1-2pm. The employees are efficient and kind. And the prices are reasonable for BOGO hour. The donuts have been hit or miss sometimes, but overall, I love what I've gotten. And it's very fun because they have a new lineup of flavors every two weeks!

    Great doughnuts! Fulled! The chocolate cream is my fave! Counter service is friendly and attentive. The line moves quick.

    Great doughnuts. Best I've had in Delaware so far! Fresh ingredients, plentiful flavorful fillings. Service was excellent- attentive and competent. Ambience was bright light, clean. Plenty of napkins. Parking lot parking in front of store.

    Cute place sells out fast! I have liked every doughnut I have ever gotten but if you want the full selection of flavors definitely get there early!

    This is from their Facebook page.  Notice how many more toppings are on the cinnamon brown sugar brioche ring.

    Doughnuts were tough. Not flavorful. Really does not live up to all the hype. Not sure what others see

    Top 5 donut I've had in my life. The s'mores donut tasted just like it was cooked on a campfire.

    R Weinrich German Bakery - Donuts- the vanilla frosted donut was very good

    My spouse and I tried all of our favorite staple items in a bakery. The very good pretzel tasted…read moredifferent from American pretzels. I would say if you stop into this place, try a pretzel. I like tradition American pretzels better. The donuts were good- much better than a national donut chain. But, some of the groceries, particularly Giant and the Acme have vanilla cream donuts that would compare to these donuts. The vanilla frosted donut had a different cake flavor/consistency than most bakeries. I would recommend this donut to try. The pies did not come in individual slices- so I did not try the pie. My husband is a butter cookie fan at other bakery. He said they were too buttery. The bakery was clean, and the woman behind the counter was really quite helpful checking on an ingredient for us.

    What a charming little bakery! My girlfriend & I were next door at the Running Store, and we just…read morehappened to see the bakery next door so we decided to step inside. There was a lady working, and I am *assuming* it was her store. The young staff persons kept asking her questions about how to ring people up, etc., so it felt like it was her store. She and the younger staff were really kind! I purchased a cheesecake and some cookies. Everything was excellent! They also had some seasonal cookies like St. Patrick's Day, and a king cake for Mardi Gras. Everything was tasty, the staff was friendly, and the prices were decent! There was not a huge selection of goods, and this could have been because of the time of day I was there, but I'd like to go in and see the cases more filled. I'll definitely be back!
