The owner Kurt is awesome, but somehow his donuts are even MORE awesome. His original location is in Warren (and he still has it), but this Royal Oak location on Woodward Ave is new. I met him (and his donuts) at his Warren location, and I HAD to track him down at his new place. All of his donuts are amazingly fresh, but his most unique donut is a French cruller filled with Bavarian custard. I don’t know how he does it, but not only is this doughnut unique, it tastes AWESOME. If you like custard, you have GOT to come here…just to try this donut. The signage is not very good. If you’re looking at the building, “Daily Dozen” is easy enough to see, but if you’re driving along Woodward, you’re not very likely to notice it, unless you’re looking for it specifically. Even then, it’s not easy to find. It’s on the west side of Woodward, a little bit south of 14 Mile Road. I live in Waterford, and we have Pete’s Oven Bakery, which has awesome donuts. Often, I will take some to my mechanic and his workers just down the street from there. The workers there boast how Pete’s is the best, but when I took them donuts from Daily Dozen, they changed their tune. They still like it when I bring in donuts from Pete’s, but they admit the Daily Dozen is better (for most donuts, anyway). That’s not an indictment against Pete’s. Daily Dozen is just that good! Come to this place, and expect to have a hard time making yourself stop eating these donuts. They’re not for people on a diet.

So, if youve been to the original Daily Dozen and liked it you might not catch the vibe of this second location in the north part of Royal Oak, decorated with very modern art all over it definitely is trying to appeal to a very young and current generation. The donuts were still pretty good but to be completely honest they didnt taste as fresh as when I got them from the 9 & Schoenherr in fact one was borderline stale(although borderline stale here is better than anything at Tim Hortons). Also even though the ladies in this location were completely polite I wouldnt say they were friendly. The very first time I ever went to the 9 mile location I felt that they were really appreciative of me giving them business. I dont even go there on a semi regular basis but whenever I do I get that same great warm service. As a side note the parking is a joke, whoever owns the parking lot needs to get it fixed ASAP, I had to park in the back because of some massive potholes in a very tiny parking lot. In the end still a million times better than Tim Hortons.

Not as good as I was hoping for based on how good the original is. Donuts were not as fresh tasting. The prices were a touch higher. Also it just doesnt have a very comfortable atmosphere to me. Very strange paintings inside. I will just stick to the OG Daily Dozen from now on.

Great service. You will not be disappointed by any of their donuts. I normally stick around and talk to Kurt about what going on in the neighborhood. Best Donuts around!

Convenient, friendly and awesome donuts. Always fresh. Love the green dragon tea. If you want to bring something to a business meeting...look no further.

Great staff and very tasty donuts. I great treat to have right down the road. And they give the kids a teaser donut when they walk in too. Very friendly.
