So, a few things are good, and some not so much. First, the donuts are unquestionably good. They have some clever flavors, nice building. You can tell its fairly popular also due to a line starting before they even open. Also, the staff there was very kind and helpful. They were trying their best to serve people quickly and very friendly doing it. Their process is pretty efficient considering how busy things got. Some drawbacks exist though. The place is small and not feasible for my two children to eat in as they would be impeding the line and only small high-top tables mounted to wall. Secondly, the donuts are WAY too expensive for what they are. For example, the glazed are $2 ($0.90 or so at Donut Cutter and Apple Fritter of same size). They sprinkled some Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Fruity Pebbles on some of these glazed and those sold for $3. I should have purchased the glazed and then bought a box of cereal on the way home as not $1 worth of cereal was on the top. Also, half a dozen ends up costing around $20. If you go to Apple Fritter, its $9 a dozen. Huge difference. The donuts are equivocal size and in my opinion, slightly better in quality. Plus their apple fritters are amazing. Last, their coffee is lacking dramatically. They should not even put "+coffee" in the title. They dont roast their own beans, dont have any advertisement of good local roasters, and drip coffee machine was all I saw as far as standard drink. A local diner this is not supposed to be. In essence, I think this place has tons of potential, but much too expensive and some other drawback.

If I had to define Donut Bar +coffee I would start with pure deliciousness. From the moment I entered I was overcome with the fresh out of the oven scent . The place is spotless which says a lot and is not a common occurrence among your average donut shops. This place is far from average though and so are the donuts . I started with an apple crumb which was amazing . I then had my mind blown away by my second choice a chicken and waffles donut complete with a tiny waffle on top and chicken in the center. The management and staff deserve an award for their creativity and presentation of their products . I cant wait to spoil myself again!!!

I love these donuts and I get why people might complain about the prices, but they are specialty donuts, and while people might say, oh I could do that, or get donuts for less somewhere else, that isnt the point. The location is great, the donuts taste great, and the staff is super friendly. Im paying for convenience, taste, and friendly staff. I dont know of ANYWHERE that you can get donuts like these. Its not an everyday thing, but a great treat!

I had the lemon mousse ?? something which blew my mind it was so good. That was about all they had left on a Thurs at 10am. I see a big problem- if you cant make enough products to last at least til noon why would I bother going there. Except for the lemony moussy thingamabob. Wow. Your website needs a possibilities menu. That way people can order day before and mosey on in the next day knowing their little bites of heaven will be there.

This place has interesting donuts. The tres leche is definitely a favorite and my go to. They had an interesting pop rocks one, I was told it was pretty good. I tried the hot Cheetos, not sure why, definitely wont be doing that again. The other donuts were good, but nothing too special, mostly chocolate ganache with different candies or cereal sprinkled in it. Come early, because they sell out quick.

I was pretty excited when this place opened, but it completely falls flat. I had in mind something yummy and interesting, but what I got was an average donut, at best, with some crushed candy on top. For $3. No, dudes, that was a $0.99 donut. You know what Id love to see? A pistachio cake donut with sour cream glaze and crushed pistachios on top. Id pay $2-3 for that.

Place is beautiful and trendy with great employees. Clean as well as the donuts are appetizing , but here comes the but!!!! Must improve process on frying or baking , get a timer to be consistent. Donuts should not be dark or hard. They should be soft and fluffy. May God Bless your business!

Worst donuts ever!!! The donuts are overrated. they are just like a shallow go Diggin woman, pretty on the outside and empty and no substance on the inside. I shouldve saved my $7.50 yes,$7.50 for three donuts that you limit me to. (But Im so glad u told me I had a 3 donut limit

This place NEVER has ant donuts. I just left with my daughter and they have a total of 10 donuts and only 2 flavors and it was only 11 oclock. Seriously. This is the 3rd time this has happened. Instead of making excuses you all should bake more donuts!!

This place is great and clean. Hands down the best donuts i have ever had. Staff is very professional. If the rating system was higher they would be @ a 100 in my book thank you for the great donuts and service you guys are the best.

I found this place laughable. Every option was your basic yeast donut with the variations being overly rich ganache and glazes. Add on some crushed cookies or candy and apparently you can call it a "specialty" item.

The Strawberry Chantilly Donut is exquisite! Recommended to me (I believe by the owner), this was a great choice. Not too sweet, just right. The chantilly cream and strawberries is definitely a reason to keep coming.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Its a little on the expensive side but I only have a cheat day every once in a while and this is my chose for breakfast. Ill be there on the 23rd for my sweet 16 birthday celebration doughnuts ;)

They are closed and its 2:00 in the afternoon website stated business hours are until 3:00 . One lady walked up and pulled on the door they are closed. But I hear the donuts are good, oh well maybe next time.

This is a great place to go for awesome donuts my favorite is the tres leches donut, now they are a little pricey because I spent $14 on 4 donuts but they are quality donuts and I love the costumer service.

Ive been known to drive or fly any distance for something special. Now having said that - I would advise my fellow food addicts to stay home this time. Cute idea... but absolutely NOTHING special.

The donut I had was perfectly made!!! Not too sweet, made my mouth water! They have many selections & service was amazing. To top off a great donut, they serve illy coffee

Foo foo doughnuts that are not very good and overpriced. Dutch Girl in Detroit vastly superior. Pleasant staff is not enough to make up for mediocre product.

These donuts are the best that Ive found here in Detroit. Great service. Its a small store and it gets packed. I think thats a testiment to how good they are.

Most expensive donuts I have had! But they are delicious specialty donuts, you cant go there ever day but every few months to treat yourself is worth it!
