    Assorted dozen
    Cara H.

    I stopped by Heavenly Doughnuts one evening for a sweet treat--my first time back since my undergrad days--and it's just as good now as it was then! There wasn't anyone in line at the drive-thru, so the wait was super quick. Our dozen came out to about $20, which felt very reasonable for the quality. We grabbed an assortment of doughnuts: red velvet, cream filled, original glazed, sprinkles, blueberry, and caramel. Every single one was delicious--fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Such a perfect little treat spot, and I honestly can't wait to go back!

    Another wonderful stop in Birmingham! Donuts were light and fluffy, and the donut holes were about perfect. Got a caramel and maple bacon which were both good, just VERY sweet. I'd come back for sure!

    Service is fast and the customer service is absolutely AMAZING. Don't be scared to try something new. The Maple Bacon Donut is now my new fav

    Fresh donuts with great flavor!

    Dropped in for a box of donuts and they did not disappoint. Grabbed 6 and they were all delicious! They sell a few other things but the donuts are #1. Every donut was fresh and full of flavor. We tried some that were more traditional, some that were iced, and some that were filled. They all were done perfectly. I highly recommend.

    My husband and I consider ourselves donut tourists, trying a new donut shop in every new city/state. This one has been on a number of "top" lists and lives up to the hype. Friendly service. Lots of indoor seating. Wide selection of donuts. Hands down one of the best old fashioned donuts ever. The red velvet donut is smooth, rich, and delightful! 10/10 recommend!

    best donuts in the Bham area hands down. donuts are soft and large. The icing is so fluffy and light. The worker gave me a free half dozen coupon for my next visit because it was my first time. It definitely made my day. I ate 3 on the way home. Will be back & visiting often : )

    King cake, French toast, maple bacon, reeces
    Olivia S.

    It ain't called heavenly for nothing! We were in the area and could not pass up an opportunity to try their daily selection. I got the French toast with cinnamon and I had to try the king cake! Both were really good and the king cake had that trademarked baby on top. I enjoyed the French toast the most though and would highly recommend. My husband got the French toast, maple bacon, and reeces. He enjoyed all of them but the maple bacon was gone the quickest so....

    What a charming bakery/coffee shop in a super cute almost European nook in town. If you're…read morevisiting, I definitely recommend taking a drive to this area. Progressive area - Seems to be... There wasn't line when we got there but the crowd usually follows us for some reason so by the time we left there was standing room only and a line out the door. The bakery items were very fresh and tasty. I loved the Swedish gingerbread cookies - light and crisp. The lemon bar was delicious. They also have sandwiches that liked really good. Coffee - I got a vanilla latte extra sweet (no lavender) and my daughter said it was one of the best. I thought it was pretty good. I would go again when back in Birmingham!

Nestled in the Mountain Brook area, it's a little hard to see but is right next to Chez Lulu, which I think is a sister restaurant. Parking is a little tricky but manageable. I got there fairly late so the selection was a bit picked over, but I still got a good array of treats to bring home. Service was a touch slow but friendly. They were fairly busy. There's no room to eat inside or outside that I could discern; it's exclusively a take and go type of place. I got two pecan sandies to share with my parents, who were along for the ride, and then a cardamom bun and a peanut butter cookie for later. Sadly, I don't feel like any of the pastries really wowed. The pecan sandies were a little too dry (even as sandies go) and the pecans didn't taste toasted nor were they especially plentiful. The peanut butter cookie was the best thing, though it too was a little on the dry side - nice PB flavor though. I straight up didn't like the cardamom bun. The cardamom flavor was completely overwhelming, to the point it wasn't sweet at all, and instead tasted almost medicinal. The texture was nice but I couldn't finish it. Perhaps I arrived too late to order their specialties. I know they specialize in European goodies so if I return I'll make sure to try a croissant or something similar.

    I decided to stop for a bite to eat after a nearby appointment. I had never been to this location…read morebefore, and I found the drive through to be a bit tight and oddly laid out. I assume that is simply part of being located downtown where space is limited. The driveway and patio area could use a good sweeping, which would really help improve the overall appearance. Since I do not frequent Dunkin', I was not quite sure what to order. I simply asked for "something sweet to drink." When I noticed they had a breakfast combo that included a drink, I decided to go with that option. The employee on the intercom was incredibly helpful and patient while I figured things out. When I apologized for being new to the Dunkin' world, she genuinely smiled and assured me it was no problem. Her kindness and patience made such an impression that I asked if she would be willing to have her photo included in my review. She seemed pleasantly surprised and said that had never happened before, but she was happy to oblige. As I exited, the drive through leads straight through another parking lot, which felt a bit unusual. Again, I assume that is simply part of navigating a downtown location. The food was delicious and I enjoyed every bite. The new banana flavored iced coffee that Skyler recommended was absolutely perfect.

    The service is good, but the Bavarian donuts are half of the size!…read moreI don't know if this is the new size but I haven't had Dunkin donuts for years; I remember their donut sizes were twice as bigger than these!! I took the picture along with the other donuts for the reference!

The cakes are phenomenal and the prices are more than fair this place has been in business for at least 20 years bc they sell great muffins , etc at a great price - I saw a comment where somebody was disappointed that they didn't warm something up for them(?) and I want to comment this place is not a restaurant- it's a bakery and they've usually got one or two people - you may have to wait ,but it's always worth it. They're not there to serve you, but to sell you the stuff . And yes, they're gonna be out of Muffins especially on a Saturday- Here is how to make a muffin perfect at home - if you have a Breville smart oven you put it on "warm "for 235° for 25 minutes.they taste fresh out of the oven every time. I always email (before 2 AM.)You can pick up your order the next day and it'll be in a box ready for you.- I seriously don't know what it would happen to me if this place ever closed because I'm so addicted to their carrot muffins and I have never tasted anything like them anywhere else! The morning glory , etc ( every muffin they have is amazing ) but if you haven't tried this place, you're missing out this one of my favorite places in Birmingham. (To compare them with Publix Muffins is laughable imho )
