Omg.. they are addicting!! The varieties that offered on the daily will satisfy anybody. Today I drove 17miles to buy 7 donuts just to impress my friends. Donuts I brought: Honey Lemon, Sweet Potatoes, mint with white choco, milk choco, strawberry basil, cranberry, and the salted caramel. I only get to try their milk chocolate because my craving for coco have been bad.. First bite, you can tell it's freshly made.. they're not cake like donuts.. I think they're fried due to the slight crispy exterior. I mean they're amazing addicting. I followed them on IG so I can see what other type of flavors they can come up with which is very creative to me at times. I enjoy reading it. And once they runs out. You are out of luck! read more

Your Mom's Donuts - Drive 28mins to get ONE Mother's Day donuts! Walked away with 6! What happened? - Donuts Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

ordinarily not this far from home but I had business to attend so I took advantage of the opportunity and made a five minute donut detour. First off it's in an odd little spot with bad signage and a worse parking lot and complain complain complain... Second, them's got some serious donut action going on. Giant chalk boards behind the counter mean it's probably a locally sourced, low impact, sustainable production, good for the planet and its inhabitants sort of place which is probably a good thing but I didn't have a whole lot of time for chit chattery because of my appointments so I just got grapefruit-n-japs, cinnamon sugar and cream cheese, and a refill on my coffee. these are sandwich sized morsels served in a french fry boat for dine in or a plasto clam-shell thing to go. not a big fan of hot-citrus donuts but the cinnamonster was pretty excellent. I'd say it was the best sugar sandwich I have ever eaten and I wouldn't say no to another (thank you, please) but if I get down here again I will go with the simple goodness of milk chocolate and straight black coffee. read more

This is my favorite place to get doughnuts in Charlotte (outside of Duck Donuts). They don't use preservatives or artificial colors, and they source from local farmers! You know they're fresh too, because depending on the weather (too moist and rainy), they're sometimes unable to make donuts and close shop for a day because the dough isn't acting right. THAT is quality right there. They're all about seasonal ingredients, so they make some of the best seasonal flavors! My top enjoyed flavors have been Cannoli (stuffed with cannoli cream), BlackBerry Basil, Chai, Sweet Potato Cream Cheese, Candy Cane, Vanilla Bean....and shout out to all the other flavors and classic flavors because you really can't go wrong. For the coffee lovers, they brew up Charlotte's own Pure Intentions Coffee -- so Your Mom's Donuts is really your go-to stop for breakfast. Outside of this location they have a new spot in Park Road Shopping Center, for all my fellow uptown folks! Local newspapers and magazines have put them in the top doughnut shop lists for the city, and it's really no surprise or exaggeration! read more

Not great at all. 2 day old Harris Teeter donuts are better. The donuts were dry and you could taste the oil. Look how unevenly fried this donut hole was. They said they make them fresh daily, but I have had better week old donuts. Very disappointing. read more

Your Mom's Donuts - Unevenly fire donut hole that tasted more like oil than a donut hole. - Donuts Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Ok so I am a fatty and love donuts. Before I moved to Charlotte I looked up some donut places and Your Mom's Donuts was on the top of my list. Within a week of me moving here I ordered a dozen online (which was nice and easy) and picked it up with excitement. When I got home I was still happy when I opened the box and saw how pretty the donuts were. But then we tried them and I hate to say it but we were disappointed. The dough was not a texture we liked and the flavors were super bland. For how they looked and what the flavors were supposed to be they were just boring and not flavorful. The dough to icing ratio was also way off. These are good sized donuts but they basically just had a swipe of icing on them so the majority of the donut was just bread/dough. The only donut I liked and would get again was the cream cheese one with the cinnamon. read more

Oh my goodness. If you take a quick glance at my photos, you'll see there are quite a few sweet treats I indulge in. I'm a victim to my sweet tooth. I am very much a cake and cupcake lover. Doughnuts are okay to me, after many years of eating Dunkin Donuts in NYC before heading to the subway- their selection of occasionally soft, typically hard and harder, I could never get enthused. They look good behind the counter, then you bite into them and it's like a rock. Yuck! I gave up. When my daughter became old enough to exercise her preference in what snacks she wanted, I began making mental notes of places around town for her to try. Your Moms Donuts was the fourth bakery I have been to on my donut quest. I walked in the shop as others were walking out with their boxes. There was less than an hour to closing, and I hoped there would be a good selection for me to present to her. I was relieved to see there was. The lady behind the counter apologized for enjoying a donut of her own off to the side, and I laughed and told her I don't blame her at all. I asked questions about what the frosting was, and she gave me a sample of the icing from one I seemed ambivalent about. I was sold! It was delicious. I bought half dozen and went home. My daughter got home from school and was happy to know there was doughnuts in the kitchen from a new place. She grabbed the vanilla frosted, paused and asked if I had taken my pictures yet. I told her yes- she took a bite and her eyes closed. YMD became her favorite, usurping previous #1 spot holders Sugar and Duck Donuts. She couldn't say much more because she was eating. I took my own bite of the milk chocolate and agreed the donuts were amazing. In other reviews I wondered why the heck people struggled to eat just one. Hey, I'm greedy- what can I say? I see why it's that way, after trying my own. Soft, yet firm and dense. I definitely wouldn't be shoveling these in my mouth like I did with Dunkin Donuts of my youth. Certainly will be eating them all, but slowly and enjoying every bite. Five freaking stars from her, a donut addict, and from me, a cupcake addict, who usually looks at donuts and passes on them. read more

Your Mom's Donuts - Buttermilk, lemon with pistachio, milk chocolate, glazed and vanilla. Amazing. - Donuts Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

I'm that chick that loves a good donut. Not those super sweet donuts that melt in your mouth too fast with no flavor but sugar or any other typical chain donuts. What I love about Your Mom's donuts is the quality of the donut. It is seriously lots of love that goes into each and every donut. They are a local farm to table donut shop and there is nothing at all bad or disappointing about that. Yeah, their donuts are on the more pricey side but if you love these donuts then they are well worth it. The flavors are switched out weekly/daily and these donuts are the size of your head. Okay, not the size of your head but you could use a fork and knife to eat these donuts. Your Mom's Donuts uses leaf lard to fry their donuts.The donuts are tasty it does have a slightly off putting taste due to the leaf lard. I thought it was just me but I brought donuts to work and none of my coworkers enjoyed them. We also bought two dozen for my birthday with a groupon and none of the guests at my house enjoyed them either. Which was really disappointing for me because I just knew everyone was going to enjoy them. While I won't rush back to Your Mom's donuts, unless they change what they fry their donuts in, if I was in the area then maybe I would venture in if they weren't sold out. And they do sell out often so they obviously have something right. However, I think it would just be so much better if it didn't have the lingering taste from that leaf lard. They do however have the best coffee - they use a local company and it is the best stuff. read more

My first visit! Let me tell you ... the customer service is on point. Everyone was masked, they have a great setup during the pandemic to where you can order and receive at the front door. I asked about the donuts and she thoroughly explained. She didn't rush me at all. She talked to be about their best sellers. It would be extremely greedy for me to eat all four in one day.. so, im saving the left two for tomorrow. However, I could go back and sell my soul for that salted Carmel drip!!!!!! The cream cheese icing atop the cinnamon and sugar is amazing as well. I'll be back to try more flavors, especially some custom ones! read more

Your Mom's Donuts - From top left: salted Carmel, original glazed, lemon honey, cinnamon sugar - Donuts Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

I'd love to give a more comprehensive review, I'm really not able to since in three out of four attempts, they've been closed early or simply closed. First visit was on a Tuesday and I found out they were closed. No biggie, although I found it odd to be closed Monday & Tuesday. Next visit, also found them to be closed. This was a Thursday and their hours state they are open until 5pm. The website does say (or until Sold Out) but I get there at 11:30 and they're already closed??? Sure enough a check on Facebook shows at 11:45 they say they're closing down shop. Third time I was going down Monroe Road and this time, not really making a special trip to try it after two disappointments, find them to be open and relatively stocked with product. My first two requests, a powered sugar and a caramel donut, were sold out. The menu is a chalkboard, so one would think that it would simple to just remove them. I did get a good Cardamom flavored donut. Very yeasty, very chewy. A large donut, the prices are a bit high but the quality and size is there. I enjoyed a nice can of Pure Intentions Cold Brew Nitro as well. Impressed with the somewhat redeeming third visit, me and my girlfriend were again in the Matthews area and wanted to grab a dozen to take back home on last Saturday. Drive up and still open, good sign! Walk in and the guy behind the counter says they have one sprinkle, a handful of caramel, and some lemon donuts and that's it. Less than a dozen in total and none of the flavors I wanted. This is once again around noon. I think a lot of places would be thrilled to sell out of their wares every single day, but this is just poor planning. I get that the price per donut for locally sourced ingredients and premium fillings must be much higher, but so is the margins. Whoever is doing the planning here should hand the reins over to someone more business oriented. 3 of 4 times left empty handed, no thanks. I'll stick to my local shop. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting this little but big donut shop on a nice Saturday morning after a light jog. My running partner and I jumped in the car and bee lined it to Yo Mommas Donuts after hearing about these heavenly treats from another running friend. We live in The Fort Mill area so this was an almost 30 minute car ride but it was soooo worth it. We arrived at the right time. Short line inside but shortly after, a long line formed behind us. The no frills shop was humming with hungry kids filled with joy because fried dough dipped and slathered with chocolate and filled with warm gooeyness was on the approved breakfast menu. A lot of the reviews I read while waiting mentioned the prices being a little too high but once I saw the donut size I thought, SCORE! It's like getting two donuts in one so the prices was justified for me but when I took a fork full of a warm and fluffy chocolate ganache donut that I personally saw fried and dipped in milk chocolate I literally squealed with delight! I felt like I owed the creator of this masterfully created sugar dough treasure more money for allowing me to eat it. So if this review is too sugar coated for you or you still don't believe that this place is worth the drive or money, then you don't deserve to eat a Yo Mommas Donut. read more

It's been awhile since I've last had these square donuts so I was excited for our reunion. I was a bit bummed to discover that they were a bit dry and way doughier than I remembered. My main gripe is that there is too little icing for these thick (thicc) donuts. I tried 6 flavors, my favorites being the cinnamon sugar with cream cheese and one of the seasonal ones - blueberry jam filled. The filling added some needed moisture and it was surprisingly some high quality blueberry compote. I also tried the raspberry glaze and white choc macadamia nut ones but I could barely tell what flavor they were because there wasn't enough glaze. The donuts are super heavy and therefore super filling. I'd recommend cutting smaller portions of each if you want to sample the most flavors. Service: 5/5! the people there are friendly and that's all you need really psa: don't leave donuts unattended in hot car for too long or the icing will melt off and form a soggy puddle. read more

Giant Donuts?!? Well, maybe not giant... but very large ones. These lovely folks have a pop up shop at the Davidson Farmers Market from time to time. The first time I tried... the rain cancelled them but I finally got to them a couple weekends later. For the most part, these donuts are amazing. Large, a little dense and flavored oh so well. The different flavors they have run from easy go-tos like Classic Glazed & Vanilla Bean to more bold ones like Gorgonzola Brown Butter Walnut with Honey Drizzle & Strawberry Maple Bacon. Vanilla Bean and Strawberry Maple Bacon being my favorite ones. The only thing that I don't enjoy about these is how greasy the toppings can. I am sure it has something to do with the process or recipe to ensure they taste amazing, but it is just a little turn off for me. Outside of that, I really have not complaints. This isn't the place I would drive 45 minutes to attend their physical location... but if I were in the area, I might make a point to stop by and test out new seasonal flavors. read more

Grand Reopening Day! Last week, Instagram saw fit to alert me that my local donut shop was celebrating it's reopening this weekend. Hmmm, I fast until noon every day, but knew they'd be gone before then. You think I'm gonna break my sacred morning fast for a grand reopening donut? Right you are. Arrived at 8:05am to a line of ravenous fans. We nodded in solemn acknowledgment of our shared priorities. The new place is straight out of a West Elm/IKEA catalog. Tastefully modern, inviting, and comfy. Ordered a key lime coconut. The 2 ladies at the counter were full of welcoming delightful enthusiasm. The donut was incredible. Icing was addicting, and the toasted coconut flakes were profoundly good. This is the kind of donut a shop sells their soul to the devil to produce. (I appreciate the sacrifice guys.) In closing, was it worth breaking the fast? I am still sitting here finishing my donut, jamming to the sounds of Busta Rhymes, and fighting myself not to order 2 more. There. read more

I give them props for the different flavas! I really have no complaints. It's too bad they're so far out from where I live and their hours are a little janky (which I understand), but this place may have to be an every once in a while joint. I really liked all the doughnuts, but my favorites were the lemon honey, strawberry and cinnamon cream cheese. These doughnuts were extra good in the morning. I couldn't stop licking my fingers with the cinnamon cream cheese dough. The customer service was great, no complaints. If I had to compare them to anything, to me honestly they're similar to Joes Doughs. My homegirl Meleah said Joes is a close second to Your Mom's. So there you have it. Either way you'll be satisfied, but you are looking for more of a variety, this is your place. read more

Just moved to monroe and couldn't wait to try the donuts from here! So many different flavors to pick from, it was hard to decide which one to try. Picked their daily special one which was Carmel with dark chocolate and peanuts. It was delicious. The donuts are huge and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality. My mom had the triple berry donut and couldn't stop talking about how great it was and how fresh the berry jam on top tasted. The owner was working while we were there. She has great energy and was fun to talk to. I'm excited to go back and try more flavors. read more

I see the draw to these donuts because of the flavor combos and/or the colors. They are all the same dough: white, square, bread-ish. It's not a standout and I'm sure that's why the toppings come into play but I just really wasn't impressed...especially after I saw the price. Get ready to spend a ton of money if you want to bring a dozen into the office. These are some peoples thing as seen in the reviews which I respect. I wanted to give an honest review and it's hard for me to justify $40 or more on donuts or a single for $5. read more

Sorry Krispy Kreme, but step aside for this locally owned donut shop that took my taste buds by storm!! The staff here is always friendly, and the donuts are the best I've ever had! The caramel and lemon-honey are always reliable hits, but the real gems are the rotating weekly flavors. Each week they have 4 new seasonal flavors that are always incredible. These flavors range from blackberry-vanilla, apple cobbler, s'mores, with occasional adventurous flavors (Like pimento cheese or thanksgiving leftovers). It's fun to order a few and sample within your group! This place is a must try for anyone in the Charlotte/Matthews area! read more

Seem to have a sourdough flavor to them. Nice variety but not a whole lot of flavor and difference between many of the ones we tried. They were fresh but I expected a little more for over $3/donut. read more

So grateful they reopened. They have weekly specials and filled donuts too. Friendly service and just as good as ever!

While these donuts are good, it's price point is rediculous. Donuts that start at $3-$5 aren't worth it.

I rarely eat donuts. In fact, I really am not a fan at all as they typically make me feel sick. However, Your Mom's Donuts has changed that and I am shocked and thrilled at the same time. We visited YMD for the first time earlier this month and ordered a few of the regular flavors, including both milk and dark chocolate, along with the cinnamon and we all very quickly fell in love. The donuts were perfect in texture and absolutely delicious. The customer service was wonderful as well. Our youngest wanted a powdered donut initially and they didn't have any. However, the team member at the register was more than willing to whip one up for him real quick. We respectfully declined, as I didn't want her to do any extra work, but we appreciated her kindness and willingness to help. Again, all the donuts were delightful and fresh and we will definitely be back when we visit the area again! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Cute with a few tables instead. Where they make the doughnuts are exposed so you can see a bit of what's going on in the kitchen. Pretty cool! The doughnuts were sooo good. It's not dense and just fresh and tasteful. I got the Lemon, Bacon, blackberry and glazed. Each had their own unique taste. I didn't try their coffee but a friend said it's comparable to Dunkin's? Not sure if anyone feels the same way. I got the Kombucha drink, I thought it was freshly made but it came in a bottle (think it's overpriced) but then again Kombucha are usually that price. I wouldn't get that again. Try it people! read more

You need to get here super early in order to have your pick of the donut litter. I went a little after 7am on a Saturday morning and there was ALREADY a line. It's a bit of a wait, especially for folks with larger orders who are in line ahead of you. Each yeasty donut is picked up individually and placed in a box and there's only one lady at the front working (the one at the register). I ordered 2 dozen for a party (which is a bit steep at around $54 which is about $24 a dozen), but they were worth it (all my guests absolutely RAVED about how awesome the donuts were). I do, however, wish they attempted a cake-y textured donut. You might have to wait even longer for the flavors that are temporarily out, until the bakers bring out ones fresh from the oven. The flavors I ordered: Watermelon -- wasn't too much of a fan. The filling was similar to mushy crushed watermelon with some small, gummy gelatinous bits. The frosting had shaved lime (I think?) in it. Salted Caramel -- Didn't get to try, as my guests demolished them. Lemon Streusel with honey glaze -- BEST flavor ever. SOOOO delicious. Cinnamon Sugar -- the cream cheese glaze is literally the icing on the cake. Super popular and absolutely perfect with a warm cup of coffee). Blackberry with lemon glaze -- fruity, tasted like summah. Dirty Chai -- tasted like Christmas (my fave). The topping was roasted, crushed coffee beans. Crème Fraîche with walnuts -- Sour cream glazed donut. Meh. Everything -- like an "everything" bagel. Had poppyseeds and sesame seeds on top. Not too impressed. Blueberry cheesecake with vanilla glaze -- filling wasn't that cheesecakey or creamy. It was too liquidy and oozing out. Dark Chocolate glaze -- super rich dark chocolate. meh. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while, today was my day. Walked in, couldn't find donuts displayed, but found then on a bakers rack behind the counter. No problem. Then I was shocked. $3.75 a donut! I've been around the world and never paid $3.75 a donut ever! I thought to myself I might as well try one to experience it, what I donut(pun) know was it was average at best. I felt cheated and ripped off. This place will never see a penny from me or my family and anyone who asks about a place to get donuts. Nice lady at the counter and part if a butcher shop(I fear their prices now). So if you want to feel special go here, interesting flavors of donuts to chose from, but make sure you take a home equity loan out before going. The place I visited was in Davidson, NC north of Charlotte, not the Matthews location, which I would think the prices/quality would be the same as they are shipped from Matthews to Davidson daily. The 1 star is for the price shock factor and an average at best donut. read more

If a place sells out before noon, you know it's the real deal. Their hours are marked as 7AM to 1PM but they usually sell out around 11AM. It took me days to wake up early enough to get to your mom's but it was well worth it. I walked in right when it turned 11 and there were still about 1/2 of the flavors still there.My biggest regret: only ordering 1 donut. After I finished my donut and wanted to order more, they were basically sold out. I got the lemon glazed with lemon strudel and honey and it was....amazing. Love the strong citrus taste in the glaze. Can't wait to visit Charlotte again to get more of their donuts. PROTIP: Get there early so you can get a taste of all their flavors! read more

If my mom made donuts like this I don't think I'd ever leave her house. These bad boys are on the steep side, about $3.00/donut, but isn't that what you pay for a cupcake? One will do the trick, but I would suggest teaming up with someone and splitting two that way you get to try two donuts. Everything here is locally sourced and organic. ORGANIC DONUTS! I never thought I'd type that phrase, but it's true and worth the steep price. With a rotating menu it's hard to settle on a flavor and don't ask the staff because they wont make the decision for you. They want you to be happy and come back for more! *Note, get here early, because if they sell out that's it for the day! read more

I can't get over how delicious these donuts are. They're big, fluffy, a little cake-y and oh so satisfying. I'm a donut LOVER so I'm always on the hunt to try something new. Each donut here is a little pricey (I believe $3/piece), but I must admit, they're worth every penny. Especially because each donut is larger than your average donut. I would strongly suggest pre-ordering (I did via email the day before) because they will sell out of everything, fast. I'm not kidding. One morning they were sold out of ALL DONUTS by 11am. So many delicious (and seasonal) flavors to choose from, but I would strongly suggest getting the cinnamon and apple flavor . read more
