Happy Day Donuts

went here yesterday to try for my first time… It’s. CLOSED!
which is a shame, because I was really looking forward to trying it.

Does anyone know what happened to this establishment? Hampton and VA Beach is closed now… I do not see happy days in my future…

I went here first think in the morning expecting to get hot fresh amazing donuts that would compare to a similar quacking brand. But I was met with stale donuts!!! From last night I would assume! And glazes that were not hot yet. It was not when they first opened when I arrived. It was about 7a. Perfect donut time I was thinking. But I was so disappointed with the donuts i received. There are too many other options for the output to not be a1.

My family arrived at 1:30pm on Sunday July 19^th. The customer service was above average! She asked if it was our 1^st time, welcomed us, explained everything… was smiling… it was heartwarming. Loved it. And the donuts… OMG! I had the chocolate cheesecake! Yes, yes and more yes! 6 gourmet donuts totaled $ 8.37 after tax. We will be back!!!

I came in randomly looking for a late breakfast snack and coffee, not sure of what I’d find as I didn’t even check the Unilocal machine prior to visiting.
The counter worker was very pleasant and was quick to offer up suggestions and was blatantly honest to what she thought was great and not so great. Against her better advice I went with an Apple Cinnamon donut which reminded me of Apple Pie (how can you not like Apple Pie!!!) and a large breakfast blend coffee.
The donut was delicious, light and airy with a fresh apple topping in the center. The coffee was also flavorful, much better than the options at the nearby hotel.

I had a craving and I’m glad I visited Happy Day Donuts. Yummy cake-​like pieces of heaven! Very delicious!

Decided to try this place because it’s closer to me than Ducks donuts which I love. I saw the reviews and wanted to give it a go. Very nicely lit inside and staff was friendly. That’s why this gets a star at all.
The sign says warm donuts always and that is a lie. The guy behind the counter said they were out of batter… so no fresh donuts… we should have turned and left. But I asked how fresh were they and he said practically today… that they were super busy and he had to keep making them.
Benefit of the doubt right? Wrong. We ordered snickers… nutter butter… death by chocolate and samoa… all equally stale and gross…
Do yourself a favor… go to Ducks donuts… always warm… always delicious!
Happy day donuts did not leave this customer happy at all… I’m very sad I wasted 7 bucks…

New to the area & had a sweet tooth. I have 3 kids so we got 2 dozen to take home for the wknd. OMG! Amazing! Best donuts I’ve ever had! Great service too! Will definitely be a repeat customer!

I’ve been a bit slacking about reviewing Happy Day Donuts (HDD) and I’m not sure why. I’ve visited two or three times, but I think I’m just tired of donuts, and donut shops are a dime a dozen these days. However, that’s not HDD’s fault so I will bite the bullet and tell you what I think about them.
First and foremost, HDD is the best looking donut shop that I’ve reviewed so far. It’s fairly large and bright – when you go in there, it IS a happy day indeed. There are restrooms; tables and chairs; and even motivating posters on the wall – it’s all about creating happiness!
There are a couple of things that make HDD stand out from the others. First, they let you pick your own toppings on your donuts: sprinkles, coconut, glaze, icing, etc. If you’re lazy like me, they also have gourmet donuts in their display case. Second, have you heard of a donut sundae? Well, HDD has one! For $ 3.99, you can pick your own donut and they will top it with ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry – a little bit over the top for me, but hey – I know my boys loved it. HDD also has locally roasted coffee to serve, and to buy in bags.
The first time I’ve visited, the service was great. The second time it was just okay – it wasn’t feeling like a happy day. I will definitely go back when I’m in the area, but I won’t go out of my way to eat their donuts. Their donuts were good, but not out-​of-​this-​world amazing. With that said, they are way better than any other chain donut shop around, and with the atmosphere (happy, happy, joy, joy) and the stand-​outs, I would recommend you check them out on your own.

There is a sign outside that says «People Love us on Unilocal.»
I really wish they changed it to «AMAZING DOUGHNUTS.»
So good in fact, I have no words… except for girl scout flavored doughnuts? Yes, ma’am.

Absolutely the best donuts I’ve ever had!
I first went here after a friend bought these to share. They were delicious and so cutely decorated! I just had to go out and get some myself. I also decided to buy some for Sunday breakfast at work, and they were such a huge hit! Everyone loved them!
They have a lot of great and interesting flavors to choose from. They also labeled the display case so you know what flavors are there. The donuts have a kind of cake consistency. They’re also very moist. They just have the most amazing taste – delicious isn’t even close to a good enough description for them!
All the people I’ve encountered there have been so nice and welcoming. Even at 6AM when I came in to get some for work! They were happy to explain what was what and pointed out to us the section where you can choose your own toppings for your donuts. They were all very willing to help with a smile on their face.
I am definitely coming back for more donuts sometime soon! It’s a little pricey, but that’s not unexpected for this kind of shop. And it was definitely well worth the price! I can’t wait to go back and try more flavors!

Sweet Jesus, I saw the light of Heaven today.
Clean, well-​stocked store. We bought a half-​dozen — all different flavors. Each one was excellent and we will be back. We tried Samoa, Heath, Apple. Yummy. Very nice staff. The lady was very helpful with selections and we will definitely be back when we are near Greenbrier.

I had a couple of excellent donuts from Happy Day twice this week when co-​workers brought them in. On both occasions they brought in mixed boxes that had a very large assortment of styles and flavors. They were delicious and it’s definitely a plus having a doughnut shop of this caliber out here in Greenbrier.

If you’re looking to get your morning sugar and caffeine fix on, then Happy Day is going to do it. Skip the national chain and buy your donuts locally.
Here’s an interesting twist on the usual topped donut. How would you like yours? Because Happy Day will make you a topped donut TO ORDER. Have it your way. With plain sugar glaze or chocolate/​vanilla/​strawberry/​maple/​lemon icing. And then maybe sprinkles or peanuts or coconut or Oreo crumbles? Yep, they will make it right in front of you. A warning, though. There’s going to be so much icing on it that you’ll need a fork.
But if you’d rather just have their already matched donuts, that’s okay too.
Coffee is good and it’s locally roasted. That’s a good thing.

MmmMMmmMmmMmmMMMmmMmMmmM! The inner, repressed fat kid in me loves this place!
I was over near Taste getting my hair done and saw this on Unilocal and asked my boyfriend if he wanted me to bring some home.
«F— yes!» was his reply so off I went.
It’s not really easy to get to if you aren’t familiar with Chesapeake — that is to say that if you are coming from the area I was — you are at a disadvantage as far as getting in the parking lot because it is on the corner of a somewhat big intersection so I had to loop the block to approach on the right side to get in.
Two huge potholes greated me in the parking lot so we weren’t off to a great start.
Once I parked and walked in the smell was phenominal, the inside was clean and spacious, and they had a ton of flavors in the glass case. The younger worker helping me was very polite and friendly with good customer service and he answered my questions about what was in what.
They had probably 2 – 3 dozen flavors in the case so it was hard to choose but I went with a half dozen for $ 8. I’m not much of a sweets person so my boyfriend was going to have to eat them all himself and I don’t want him getting fat.
I’ll see if I can remember what I got: 1 Red Velvet dwith vanilla drizzel and chocolate chips, 1 Strawberry with strawberry filling and strawberry glaze, 1 Nutter Butter with Nutter butter filling and peanut drizzle, 1 Samoa (like the girl scout cookie) with chocolate doughnut and vanilla, caramel drizzle and coconut flakes, 1 Maple Bacon — this doesn’t need description — the title says it all and it was yummy and one of my faves, and 1 boston cream with choclate glaze and cream filling.
They were fresh and yummy. I took a few bites of each and my favorites were by far the Maple Bacon, Samoa, Strawberry and Boston Cream. The red velvet was dry and bland and I’m not a huge fan of peanut butter flavored stuff or I’d probably have loved the Nutter Butter which was my boyfriend’s favorite followed by Strawberry on his part and Boston Cream.
I’d say give it a try if you are in the area. It was yummy.

Outstanding customer service !!! As soon as you walk in they don’t just greet you, but they ask you if this is your first happy donut experience? Very friendly staff!!! The many variety of kinds of donuts and the choice to create your very own fresh made special donut is amazing and fun as well !!! You can sit and relax and enjoy your donuts there if you like. They also gave t-​shirts available !!! Bön appetite Unilocalers !!!

Stopped in yesterday afternoon to pick up some donuts for me and the hubs to try. My first thought was that it was a tad dark, especially considering it’s called Happy Day Donuts and there’s a yellow donut wearing sunglasses in the logo. I don’t remember it being so dark in there when it was Taste.
I was glad to see that there was such a great variety available in the afternoon. I was afraid I could’ve been beaten by a Sunday rush and wouldn’t have much to choose from. You can tell they’re not all decorated by an experienced donut maker. Some looked rather sloppy — almost unfinished.
I went with 6 different donuts to get a good sampling to take home. We haven’t finished them all yet (keyword being yet) but the ones we’ve eaten have been delicious. We both liked the texture of the donuts (sort of a cross between KK and DD) and they were well flavored. I wouldn’t say they all taste exactly as they’re labeled (though still tasty), but we’re talking about «novelty» donuts. Of course, that comes with a price. It was almost $ 9.00 for a half dozen. That’s pretty steep. I can get a dozen donuts for only $ 2.00 more at their locally owned competitor — and their donut decorating is impeccable.
Service was adequate, if a bit odd. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I’m wondering if perhaps this is a first job for some behind the counter and they’re just not comfortable yet. One girl asked if she could help me, but because there was a customer in front of me standing up against the donut case, I couldn’t see what flavors there were. She asked me a second time regardless of the fact that I pointed this out. While ordering she kept asking, «What else?» after every donut I asked for. It was just weird. She wasn’t nasty, but she seemed almost indifferent about being there.
Obviously, being so new, this place has a few kinks to work out. If they do, they’ll likely find a fan in me. It’s always nice to have another small business to support.

The donut craze is catching on here in the 757 and there’s finally one in Chesapeake! Located close to the mall and movie theater, you can’t miss the yellow store. I checked this place out to get some treats for a get together with some friends. Place is still just starting out.
Head up to the window and you can get to see how they make the donuts. There’s options to choose on how you want your donuts. You can top them the way you like or just get their gourmet flavored donuts. Out of all the places, I have been so far — this is a first to customize your donuts. I ended up getting a few just glazed, just chocolate dipped, and glazed with oreo toppings. For gourmet, I got the Boston Crème Pie, Chocolate Red Velvet, Snickers, Fruit Loops, Maple Bacon, and Samoa.
On a a scale of Krispy Crème to Dunkin Donuts — the donuts are more Dunkin Donuts with a more cake texture. My favorites were the glazed with oreos and the snickers donuts. I still prefer my donuts more to be on the Krispy Kreme side, but with these being freshly made right close to my house. You can’t beat that!
The lady who handled my order really embodied «happy» especially on a dreary, rainy day. She was full of energy and explained how everything worked. I would have tried the coffee, but it was too late in the day for me. Luckily, this place opens bright and early at 6am if you need a cup that early.
I hope this place has a promising future!

Get your doughnut fix. Their gourmet selections were $ 1.39. The choices when I went included Samoa, black tie, maple glazed with bacon pieces, red velvet, blueberry cream pie, apple pie, and more. You can watch them make doughnuts through a large window. They continually make fresh doughnuts. If you buy a $ 14.99 shirt, you get 20% off every time you wear it. If you buy one of their mugs, you get 30% off refills. There is ample seating with 4 tables of 4 seats, 2 club chairs, and a counter with 5 stools. I’ll be back soon.

Grand Opening of a new Donut Shop in Greenbrier! It’s where the old Taste Unlimited was. Donuts are definitely different then your Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme. This is the only location in Va.
The staff is very nice and welcoming. There’s about 4 tables, a long bar table by the window, and 2 single chairs inside.
There’s 2 ways to order your donuts, «Gourmet» and «Have your way». They make the donuts fresh all day so it’s never old. They also serve coffee.
Gourmet donuts are your nutter butter, blueberry pie, strawberry pie, coffee cake, maple bacon, coconut Cremes pie, boston Crème pie donuts to name a few. price for a dozen is $ 12.99 /​half dozen $ 7.59
Have your way donuts are the plain donuts you top with your likings such as different sprinkles (Oreo, coconut etc), glaze, and frosting… dozen $ 11.29 /​half dozen $ 6.49
So how does it taste??? Delicious! Outside has a nice crunch but inside is soft. The gourmet donut toppings (like nutter butter, strawberry, blueberry pie, etc) are just on the top of the donuts not in the inside, except the Boston Crème donut. That had the Crème piped inside with the chocolate on top. The toppings was a little too sweet for me but I guess it’s supposed to be. If you had Dunkin Donuts before, it’s that consistency of a donut, cake like, but softer and better.
