Sara’s Donuts

Simple little doughnut shop that offers amazingly wonderful homemade doughnuts. I’m used to the doughnut shops with very unique offerings like matcha or flowers, but I’ve been the most impressed by Sara’s Donuts and their simplicity. I think the mark of a good doughtnut shop is how they make their glazed doughnuts. And Sara’s was exactly what I look for. The dough was light and airy while the glaze was sweet but not overly so. Their red velvet had a more cake like consistency and was heavier, but still delicious. We’ve made Sara’s a tradition and now return every time we visit Atlanta. My only complaint is that they don’t open beyond noon so sometimes I get disappointed when we can’t make it before then but given that it is a mom and pop shop that bakes fresh, I’m okay with that.

Fresh and cheap!
We were hunting donuts and didn’t wanna go to DD for once and ended at Sara’s.

Not as good as Krispy Kreme but great variety and good donuts! The red velvet is my favorite and I recommend trying it! Used to go here all the time but now on occasions I will find myself enjoying the
donuts.

Best donuts around! Always fresh, unique, delicious flavors. Make sure to get there early to get all the flavors you want to try!

We moved here around a year ago and have been looking for a good donut shop since we arrived. We found Sara Donuts a few months ago and have been back several times. I love this place– best donuts I’ve had in ATL!

Donuts were delicious and not «lardy». If that makes any sense. Coffee not so much. Super affordable though. $ 4 for two donuts and two coffees.

These donuts are great! Best in the area for sure! It actually is okay to confuse this place with the other Sara Donuts (Satellite Blvd & Jimmy Carter) because it’s a family business and the recipes are the same! All locations are great. You have to get here early because they sell out super fast.
The glazed, chocolate glazed, cinnamon, and red velvet cakes are the best you will find!

Best donuts in Atl by far! Don’t confuse with other Sara donuts as they are not as great.

This place is one of the most exciting things about our new house. It’s just down the street. Make sure you get in early for the best selection, but lay off those chocolate frosted chocolate donuts if you get there before I do!

The best doughnuts in Gwinnett! I will choose Sara’s over any Dunkin Doughnut or Krispy Kreme any day of the week.

I’m a big donut lover and this place did not disappoint. I was driving by and thought of trying some. I had the red velvet, strawberry, glazed and sugar donuts. Everything that I tried was so good! Especially the red velvet. I only gave it 4 stars since their hours suck.

The donuts are so fluffy. Also like their japlapeno sausage roll. Glazed donut is my favorite.

I love the pigs in a blanket here. The donuts are also a plus but they even have a jalapeño with cheese pig in a blanket. …i hate anything spicy but was very surprised how delicious it was. The coffee isn’t really anything special. Customer service was great and very welcoming! Also is very clean! You should definitely stop by, make sure to stop early bc once it’s gone that’s it. Everything is fresh! !

In general, I find donuts to be really boring, unhealthy for no good reason, and sometimes pretty tasteless.
This place could get me eating donuts again. They are really fantastic donuts. So, if you’re in the mood for donuts, or even if you’re not, give Sara’s a try. They are making a great product here.

Went here again today to get a variety of donuts and everything was great. There was still a good selection available at 11:45 so I was able to get everything I wanted. Really delicious donuts and very friendly staff.

It was 3 am and I was having some serious insomnia issues thanks to a pile of work that was awaiting me at the office. Instead of being the last of my team showing up to start the day, I decided that I will open the building up and show that every now and then, my mental state will show some sort of initiative.
I got my shower, brushed my teeth, and headed out to work. I usually make my own breakfast but figured I would pick something up along the way, not thinking that nothing I wanted was open at 5:00 in the morning. Then I passed Sara’s Donuts.
The sign said «Open», and another glowing neon sign read «Sausage Rolls» which looked to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for. I ordered one along with a large coffee.
I’m not a donut person, so I can’t speak to the quality of theirs, but I am an expert in savory breakfast fare. The long and short of it is that the sausage roll sign should have been labeled «Overly-​Salted Hot Dog Wrapped in Dough».
One bite was all I needed to know that a second bite wouldn’t occur. Initially, I thought it would be funny to take the remainder of the breakfast dog and hide it in a co-worker’s file cabinet or desk drawer to have them figure out where the smell was coming from a few days later, but even I couldn’t be that mean. Medlock Bridge Road now has a salty remnant lying upon it which may come in handy should another February ice storm hit the city.

The best doughnuts ever! They are not the caked thick kind but are so soft and delicious! Variety of flavors and options. Cinnamon sticks are to die for! The best is how well priced they are! We will definitely be returning!

As a Northerner, I have to proudly state that I love me some Dunkin. I even enjoy Krispy Kreme from time to time, so when I say, «why would you ever go anywhere else for a donut!?» I say so because Sara Donuts are that good. This has become my end of the week reward. The donuts are so light and fresh and delicious. My mouth is watering thinking about it. I usually get a chocolate twist and a sausage roll, but everything is good and you’re only hurting yourself if you neglect to try this great local donut shoppe. Really, why would you go anywhere else for a donut?!

Thanks to a recent craving for donuts after seeing a friend’s instagram photo, I have been on the hunt for the perfect donut in Atlanta. And to begin that process, I’ve been Unilocaling donut shops around the area, and Sara’s Donuts kept coming up.
The extremely annoying thing is that Sara’s is only open from 5am-​noon everyday, which makes it difficult for a working professional to make it before it closes. However, me and a friend finally woke up a bit earlier and stopped by Sara’s before church on Sunday. It was fun, so we might make it a once a month thing.
RED VELVET DONUT
This donut is perfection. The outside is perfectly crisp and the inside is nice and moist. As an aging Asian, I’ve been finding that I hate desserts that are too sweet, so I was pleasantly surprised by how this donut wasn’t too sweet. This is my favorite one that I tried thus far.
RASPBERRY FILLED DONUT
The donut itself is very fresh, and the jam filling is done by this very interesting filling funnel machine behind the counter. The jam was so delicious, that we licked the jam off the paper bag that the donut came in. Makes me want to try the other filled donuts.
APPLE FRITTER DONUT
I’m pretty much a sucker for anything with cinnamon and apples, so I knew for sure I wanted to try the apple fritter. But unfortunately, this turned out to be waaayy too sweet for my liking, so it was actually pretty painful to finish my half of it. Don’t get me wrong, it was exactly the flavor I expected it to taste like, but I probably won’t get it again just because it was too sweet.
ATMOSPHERE
The shop is very humble and small, and have about 10 seats or less in the store on the right wall. The refrigerators and coffee are located on the left, and the main counter with the donuts and cashier are in the front. The décor is pretty lackluster, but that doesn’t matter, because you’re here for the fresh donuts.
Next time, I want to try the sour cream donut and chocolate glazed. But I think I pretty much can only eat 1 – 1.5 donuts before I get full. Overall, I’d say if you like pretty traditional flavors of donuts, this is the place to go. However, if you’re looking for fun and innovative flavors, you’re pretty much only going to find the Red Velvet.

This place serves donuts, coffee, and sausage rolls (Kolache if you are in some parts). I really like them because everything is made fresh. They specialize instead of trying to cater to everyone. I got a half dozen assorted donuts and loved all of them. The donuts are a mixture of cake and yeast, so no matter your preference there should be something to satisfy your craving.
As a tip, try the Red Velvet cake donut. It was delicious!
