Da Vinci's Donuts

Stopped by this donut shop to give it a try. It’s a small space but has a pretty neat setup. They make one type of cake donut as the base and then customize it with different toppings. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of cake donuts, so overall, it was just okay for me. That being said, some of the toppings stood out—the maple bacon donut was definitely the best, and the Samoa was also pretty good. The others, though, were a bit underwhelming. The cinnamon donut was especially disappointing—really dry and lacking any actual cinnamon flavor. Not sure I’d come back, but it was cool to try something different. If you’re into cake donuts, it might be worth checking out, but if not, it’s probably a one-time visit.

Such a cute establishment with the nicest staff! I worked in Sandy Springs for a few weeks and stopped in on a whim - I’ve been back 5 times during my stay. It’s about 10 mins from northside hospital during afternoon traffic. So many creative, fun flavors and they always have great options even when I stop in 30 mins before closing time. 10/10 would recommend. I got these as a going away present for my team and everyone loved them! I got French toast, java chip, cinnamon roll, Oreo, strawberry shortcake, birthday cake, chocolate iced, and vanilla with sprinkles. They also make amazing lattes with oat milk! Today I spent $19 for the 16 donuts and on a previous trip I spent $13 for a latte and 4 donuts.

Looking for a doughnut and coffee before hitting the road. Tried Da Vinci's Donuts. Da Vinci's is tucked under an apartment complex with a few other restaurants. All of their the donuts are born as little cake donuts with a variety of toppings. No traditional greasy fritters with icing or yeasty donuts that melt in your mouth. You will need a medium to large coffee or tea to wash these lil babies down. They are tasty and just the right size. The service is pleasant, and they have a variety of flavors, the bacon topping is good, and the fruity pebble topping is good. I'm going to grade Da Vinci's: one glazed donut and a small coffee(2 stars) a first try for those that prefer cake-like donuts. I will stick with the traditional grease and glaze.

This small little donut shop delivers in big taste and selection. While on the pricer side of the donut world, it’s absolutely delicious. The quality of the donuts is far superior to the ones you might be dunkin. The options of flavors and the ability to customize makes this an even more enjoyable experience. I’ll be back with my kiddos and will also look at placing an order for work.

Located in a shopping strip, parking was easy. The woman working was very helpful & friendly. The donuts tasted fresh & it was fun to customize a few of our “da Vinci dozen” (16 donuts). Super recommend this place!

These donuts smell great and look amazing. The taste is delicious and I have no complaints about the actual donut other than the fact that they are way smaller than they look in pictures. These donuts are half the size of normal donuts, just so that you know what to expect. Otherwise, amazing quality!

Very cool and interesting flavors of donuts. You can choose from the 16 base flavors or create your own as well. The location is large and customer service great. Definitely recommended

I ordered two dozen donuts for a work event, and everyone was loving them and asking for more! I’m a huge fan of their mini donuts – they’re freshly made and bursting with flavor. Plus, they have so many delicious options to choose from!

Da Vinci's is a must! We had a donut day for our apartment residents and they loved them so much that 50 donuts lasted 15 minutes! All the flavors are so fun and delicious. The donuts are super fluffy and the perfect size. Definitely go with the business box assortment so you can try all their best sellers. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful with larger catering orders. They had great suggestions and we were able to get the order at a great price. We will definitely be ordering again for our next donut event!

First timer, and I will return again! Donuts were outstanding and the service was great.

These little gems are awesome! So many great flavors to enjoy! Smaller than the average size doughnut which takes away some of the guilt!

Personally, I am not a fan of their donuts they aren't as sweet as I'd like and were more cakey than fried. They have a lot of different toppings to put on like the Boston Cream, Oreo chocolate, etc. The toppings on top are delicious but I couldn't get past the donut itself it just isn't for me. Parking is free, the service was good and there is some seating inside overall it is a nice place but there's another mini donut place I'd go to.

Fresh, fluffy, cake donuts with great flavors and service all packaged up in a cute simple atmosphere. Love these donuts so much wish we lived near here. The cinnamon roll and maple ones were my favorites. But everything was great. Must come here again.

When I worked near Glenridge Connector in 2016, this was my go to Friday spot. I miss coming here so when I happen to be in the area again recently, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to drop in. My favorite flavor was and is still the Maple Bacon donut. It is the perfect combination of savory and sweet. I also love the miniature sizes of Davinci donuts - it's a less guilty pleasure. I never remember having a long wait- it's def a grab and go / fast food situation without a drive thru. During my recent visit, I opted to sit down and enjoy a donut in lieu of rushing out back into my car and back into traffic - good decision! There are a handful of chairs there so it's not good for groups but not bad for a quick 1 on 1/coffee meet up. Hope I am back in the area again soon - it is worth the 1 hour commute!

Customer service awful and the donuts just pass. Strawberry shortcake and maple bacon both awful.

Best mini donuts!!! First time trying this donut shop and was not disappointed! They have an amazing selection of flavors and you can even create your own flavor/customize toppings. I got the Boston cream, M&M, Birthday cake, and strawberry shortcake (my personal fav). The donuts were very light, airy, and delicious! If you're in the area you definitely need to check this place out.

I had a taste for donuts and decided to try Da Vinci's. There is plenty free parking (parking lot). There were a couple people in line when I walked in and one person working. The employee was really nice and friendly. If there wasn't a donut available, she quickly prepared whatever donut the customer wanted. This was my first time trying Da Vinci's so I couldn't decide which donut to try. I went with the maple bacon, but there were a couple other flavors I was eyeballing. The donut was a fluffy cake donut, topped with the maple frosting and bacon. It was ok, but next time I will definitely need to order a drink with my donut.

Donuts were perfect size, light and airy inside, and the best amount of crisp on the outside. The flavors were the best amount of sweet!

I had the maple bacon donut. I had no idea breakfast can taste so good on a donut. I regret just getting one. The donut was moist, the service was quick, and I truly enjoyed. Will be back!

Da Vinci's never misses! Their donuts are perfectly sized if you want to indulge in a sweet treat without feeling too guilty lol. I'm a big fan of fried donuts because they are light and airy, almost like a fritter. My absolutely topping is the maple bacon. Oh my gosh! It tastes like Sunday breakfast, pancakes with bacon. Yummmm!

This place is ok. The creativity and picture worthiness is there, but the dough is not the kind that make me crave the donuts or even makes me say Mmm.. when I bite into them. Donuts should be fluffy and dense at the same time. I think it needs more yeast and butter, or maybe just needs to be made fresh. Customer service was great and it's a cute little shop, but definitely a NO FOR ME!!

On the small side for donuts; however, the price is also less than regular-sized donuts. It was $6 for 4 donuts. Favorite for our family: Boston Cream. We also tried the French Toast, which was good, just not nearly as good as the Boston Cream. Note: If you see the Yelp pictures of the Boston Cream with the big circle of chocolate on top, they no longer make them in that fashion. Inflation must have bit them like everyone else. Currently, the store steams a thin lattice layer of frosting on top. Although small, these donuts taste like their bigger counterparts; light, fluffy and with an outer crust.

Da Vinci's Donuts is soooo delicious! The little craft donuts are exactly what we need in the morning! The chai is the perfect beverage to wash it down. We like to try one of each donut! Give Da Vinci's a try! You will be amazed!

I would say that this donut shop has the potential to be very good. Cool concept of the smaller donuts with premade flavors and also the options to build your own. Server is very friendly and helpful with picking out options and there's plenty of parking outside and a decent amount of seating indoors. However the donuts themselves aren't much to rave about, toppings are alright but the actual donut part isn't very special tasting, a bit dry. Could be good for bulk orders for parties but I prob won't go out of my way to come here again

My coworker put me on to this place! She ordered us donuts for a meeting & I've been hooked ever since. These donuts are seriously so good! I do suggest eating them the same day. I've had the Maple Bacon, Cinnamon Roll, Lemon Bar, Strawberry Shortcake. All of the donuts I've had a really amazing, so fresh and delicious! They are also able to make custom donuts! I tried the iced Thai tea latte and it was also bomb! This is one of my favorite donut shops. Highly recommend visiting this location. Parking is free and it is a nice size parking lot.

I give it a three star. The employees are friendly and great. The store is cute, definitely needs more lighting inside. You can immediately smell the grease of the donut, and all the way to the office in my car. You can definitely taste the grease but not the flavor of the donut when you bite into it. I'm not a fan. I was excited to try them, and soon disappointed. While the taste for many is great, I just did not like them. I've had cake donuts elsewhere that are better in flavor and melt in your mouth.

Nice spot in Atlanta for donuts. Donuts were the perfect size and were enhanced quite beautifully. It was hit with the team I was visiting and made for a great compliment to the day. They perfected the donut size that's for sure; makes you feel less guilty!

If you are easily addicted to succulent sweet tasting hot donuts that melt in your mouth... do not come here!! I love these donuts. I love the maple/bacon, lemon , caramel, chocolate ... well ALL of them are so good!!! Sometimes I would walk in the rain for these donuts..at least twice a week!!!

Went there to pick up a few donuts and had a happy surprise. Not your typical or average donut shop. Various flavors. The donut design is different and I like cannolis so I asked for one and she made it right then y'all lol. Yeah!! And it was good. We got a box full so will be trying more later. Interested in the one with bacon on it. Everything is better with bacon lol.

These donuts were excellent. I got an assortment of 16 donuts which they consider a dozen because of the smaller size. I loved them because they weren't overly sweet like the donuts you'll find at chain places in this country. Underneath the topping, the donut itself tastes homemade and has a nice, slightly firm consistency. Even my parents who don't like donuts (they've only had grocery store/Dunkin type donuts) liked these! They're the perfect size to eat and not feel guilty. Plus you can try more of them this way. A few things to note: Almost all of the donuts are the same underneath the toppings. Some appear filled but do have a hole in the middle. Only the Boston Crème had filling inside. Overall, it's yummy and I recommend this spot for good donuts!

Such a unique little donut shop. I really enjoy their bite sized cake donuts . I devoured quite a few. They have some pretty unique flavors, from apple to strawberry shortcake. They also offer iced and hot coffee options.

Placed an online order that was delivered fairly quickly. It was nicely packaged in a box. The portion sizes of the donuts are perfect. More on the small size but very filling, for me. I ordered the 8 count and it let me pick which ones I wanted. I wasn't sure for some of them which was which once I received them. Nonetheless, they were still very delicious and I will definitely order from them again when I get a craving for donuts. The donuts visually are very appealing and look just as they show them online. You can tell they are high quality donuts.

These donuts are definitely for those who like cake donuts. I'm not too big of a cake donut person but the flavor is definitely good. I'm greedy so I wish there was more icing but otherwise I have no complaints. They are also a great size. They're small enough where you can try many flavors without feeling grotesque. Certainly worth the try.

My review for Da Vinci's may not be the most thorough because I came here after working an overnight (i.e. getting off at 7 am), and while we stayed with a friend in the area, this was an open and bustling place that we decided to get a snack at before I fell asleep. No coffee for me, but we got their Davinci's Half ($9.25), which includes 8 donuts of your choice. The donuts here are smaller, cake donuts, making them a bit more dense, but very filling, and oh so pretty. The flavors we got were: Maple bacon Lemon bar Oreo Birthday cake Strawberry shortcake Salted caramel Dark chocolate with coconut Caramel Crunch All of these beautiful things were delicious, at least the ones I tried (maple bacon, lemon bar, strawberry shortcake and dark chocolate with coconut). I'll happily come back and try them again to see how their coffee works for me, but for now, I left quite pleased and can't wait to try more.

These donuts are amazing!! Size: they are smaller than the "normal" doughnuts but I kind of prefer that because you can try more of the flavors without feeling as guilty. Flavors: a ton of variety and you'll be sure to find one that you like. Pricing: super reasonable for both the donuts & the coffee Coffee: I just got the normal coffee and it wasn't bad. I mean coffee is coffee unless you get an americano, cappuccino, or latte. No complaints on my end. Service: they're always super friendly and efficient! We order here for our clinic at least twice a month because it's not only close to us but it's so good for the price.

I love the assortment of flavors that have for the cute little cake donuts! My favorites are the birthday cake, Samoa, & Strawberry Shortcake. I can eat any flavor though!! Pumpkin spice is nice too~ I come here every time I pass through Atlanta.

Stopped into this location this past Saturday morning around 9am for the first time. There were hardly any cars in the parking lot which was great. I was able to take my time ordering and not feel rushed. The gentlemen working the front was very welcoming and friendly. After glancing over all the different flavors that were made that morning I decided to order all 16 flavors. You can mix-and-match from any of the specialty donuts they have displayed that day or you can make your own, choosing toppings to put onto a plain donut or one already prepared. Da Vinci's donuts are cake based as opposed to yeast. That being said, the donuts themselves are extremely light and tender with a slightly crunchy exterior due to the cake batter. When you bite into them, the texture is fluffy and moist. I will say that the donuts are smaller than your typical donut size, however, they are packed with so much flavor and toppings that the size is actually deceiving. Out of the 16 flavors I ordered these were my favorites in no particular order: - Caramel Crunch -Oreo -Maple Bacon -Strawberry Shortcake -Coffee Chip -Chocolate Iced The reason I ordered the 16 donut box is because the price per donut was cheaper then getting 4 or 8 donuts. If you order one donut the price is $1.35 BEFORE TAX. However, the more you order the price per donut decreases (i.e. 4 donuts is $1.23 per donut, 8 donuts is $1.15 per donut and 16 donuts is $0.93 per donut). I paid $16.00 AFTER TAX for the 16 donut box. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and the donuts I ordered! Here's a helpful tip: Eat the donuts the SAME DAY you order. The donuts become a little dry the next day. I share this because on Sunday, I still had 4 donuts left. When I went to eat them, the interior of the donut was no longer fluffy or moist. Not sure if it was because I had left the donuts sitting out on the counter in the box, but just thought I'd share that helpful tip. Keep up the excellent work you guys! I will be a returning customer for sure!

If you like cake donuts and fun toppings, this is the place to go. The donuts are smaller, so you can try multiple flavors. I liked each one that I tried. If you get a half dozen which is actually nine they come in what looks like a small pizza box.

These donuts are light and fluffy. We love being able to choose all the fun flavors giving lots of variety. Definitely check it out if you are a donut lover!

I had a great experience at Da Vinci's! Upon walking in I was greeted by the delicious scent of fresh donuts! They have lots of readily available flavors, or you can make your own. I chose from the selection avaliable, and got the "Di Vinci's Half," which is 8 donuts. They are basically miniature but thick donuts, which I love. They are very doughy and tasted quite fresh. My favorite was the Cinnamon Sugar. I had a wonderful experience here and would highly recommend it!

You can find this location of DaVinci's Donuts at 5610 Glenridge Dr, Ste 103, Sandy Springs, GA 30342 this is in a small shopping center crammed into the end of the Glenridge Heights townhomes complex. There's also a Sushi Nami, Qdoba and Blue Moon Pizza in the same short row of buildings. Parking here is a hot mess - the parking lot really needs to be 2-3 times larger to handle the load on these restaurants. Also you get fooled as it appears that there's covered parking in the decks but they're for residents only - due to this try to get in the lot very early or after lunch and between dinner (actually in the case of the donuts the earlier you get there the more likely to get your selection). DaVinci's Donuts is a fast-casual, local-chain bakery that specializes in small, what I think of as "traditional homemade" gourmet donuts - there are a few locations in Atlanta including this and locations in Alpharetta and Dunwoody. The goods are similar to cake donuts but are lighter in texture, more like something you would make at home or that you would see from one of those street-side vendors where the donuts are dropped into hot oil. These are small, 2-3 bite donuts that are best bought as a "DiVinci's Dozen" - this is 16 donuts fit into what looks like a slightly taller, square pizza box. You can mix-and-match from any of the specialty donuts they have or you can make your own, choosing toppings to put onto a plain donut or one already prepared. I've sampled pretty much all of these and have bought boxes to bring back to the office - quite fun and not too expensive ($14.25). My favorites are the Maple Bacon, the Salted Caramel, the Key Lime and the Samoa but frankly, I liked all of the flavors that I tried - great variety from tart to sweet to savory to salty. I know these aren't for everybody but I think there's definitely a need for a niche donut shop and this one fits in nicely. They also serve Jittery Joe's coffee so you can get your afternoon fix on location if you prefer not to share a box. Service was great with people anxious to answer questions and make recommendations. The interior is clean and well maintained, as are the bathrooms. (also posted to my blog)

I like the size of them so you don't feel greedy eating 4 or more lol. It's a cool concept and you can create your own as well. It's like a cake donut bar. Very yummy I would prefer this over cupcakes cake there is just the right amount of frosting and I've always been a fan of old fashioned donuts cuz it's cake like. I wasn't impressed by the strawberry shortcake I think they should replace the frosting with whipped cream to give it more shortcake like. Lemon bar good I was expecting more tartness. French toast and bacon maple great ones those 2 will always be a fan favorite choice. I choose 4 although I wanted 6 but the next size up would be 9 and that would've left me with 3 donuts I don't care to try since it's just me cuz I'm not sharing lol. I'll be back and try another different 4 another time, or create my own. If you plan on sharing do 9 or 16 or more.

A listener from my podcast told me about this donut shop. I was intrigued. I had not heard of Da Vinci's Donuts up until that point. I quickly did a search to find their website. This cake-like donut was described as light and tender with a crunchy exterior. Sounded great. I could not wait to try my new discovery. When I arrived, Melissa Rudd (Owner) gave me the warmest greeting in the universe. What a sweetheart. She was not shy at all about giving me the run down. They carry 16 of their most popular flavors daily. Yes. You heard me right. I glanced over 16 of their best selling donuts. Flavors included salted caramel, maple bacon and a ton of others. I could not wait to sink my teeth into one of these decadent morsals of perfection. These mini donuts are so cute. You could literally try a few flavors guiltfree because of their size. That first bite did something. It took me to the place that all donuts should be. It was light like a pound cake but firm enough to hold itself together. It wasn't too sugary either. I loved it. From start to finish, this was an epic dessert. Leoanardo Di Vinci gave his blessing to owners Mr. & Mrs. Rudd on this venture. A treat like this doesn't happen by accident. It takes trial, error and alot of dedication. I plan on getting to the bottom of how this amazing brand came to be. Stay tuned to the podcast for an upcoming feature. In the meantime, visit Da Vinci's Donuts in Sandy Springs, Alpharetta & Dunwoody. Keep a lookout for thier opening in Lenox this fall too! These donuts ROCK because #ashsaidit

Cute size little donuts! With fall in bloom, the many flavors they had were festive. Pricing is good too. Love the name of this business too.

The donuts here are amazing! Very fresh and my favorite is the maple bacon for sure! I tried this new drink they had with coconut milk, Passionfruit purée, and strawberry purée. Truly not a fan of coconut anything, but the drink was amazing and you can't taste the coconut at all.

The flavors for the donuts were spot on but the size of the donuts makes me utterly sad . They are literally bite size and I just wish they would be more ! For $1.35 per donut I would think they can make that happen . However , they do have a lot of interesting flavors . I tried the pina colada, chocolate ginger,strawberry shortbread and tiramisu . All of them were great with tiramisu being my favorite . It is definitely worth a stop but will not fill you up for breakfast .

I had the powdered sugar donuts, and they were delicious. But in my estimation, they are VERY expensive for the small donuts you get.

I got here shortly after 12 on a Saturday and there was only one other patron inside. They have a small sitting area outside as well. There's a big chalkboard wall with their donut selection and prices. TIP: Make sure to ask if you don't see a donut you want to try. There was one I wanted that I didn't see and I assumed they had sold out of it. When I asked the girl working the counter she told me she could make it for me. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it) all their donuts have the same base. They add the different flavors through their toppings, which is why she was able to make my donut on the spot. I didn't mind this but it's something to keep in mind if you get the coconut crunch donut and are expecting pieces of coconut in the actual donut. With that being said the donut base was good. It's a cake donut base as opposed to yeast which I actually prefer. The donut itself isn't dense or overly sweet. I ended up getting the strawberry shortcake, coconut crunch, dulce de leche, Samoa, and French toast. All of the donuts were good but my favorites were the coconut crunch (this was packed with flavor) and french toast (think maple syrup vibes; no chemical fake syrup taste). I was really pleased with the sweetness of the dulce de leche too. Sometimes dulce de leche can be made sickeningly sweet, but that wasn't the case. It was really good. I'm personally a big fan of the smaller donut size. These specialty donut shops tend to have several flavors that sound appealing so the smaller size gives you room to try more. A 4-pack is $4.25. While these weren't the best donuts I've ever had, they are tasty donuts and the service was pleasant so I'd come back again.

Was in the area and wanted something sweet, donuts specifically. Came on a mid afternoon Friday. It is in a shopping center, so plenty of parking. Nice, open space. You can see over the counter. The place wasn't busy and it looked like they had already sold a lot of donuts for the day. However, I was still able to choose 8 different flavors. The staff was friendly and helpful. I only got to try 2/8 I purchased because I decided to save the rest for my sister and BIL who were watching my dog for the weekend. I liked the donuts, but was not wowed by the flavors. Prices were reasonable, though.

Lots of awesome cake doughnuts to choose from and no one there to fight you for them! On our last day in Atlanta during a trip, we decided to stop in for a quick breakfast after reading rave reviews for them. First, we had a little trouble finding them because the area was very quiet and corporate looking. Little did we know that they were located as part of a small strip mall. We drove by pretty late at 11AM on a Saturday and the parking lot was empty. When we walked in, we were the only customers, which was great because we could take our time surveying the landscape of doughnuts and figuring out what we wanted. The second we walked in, the gentleman behind the counter greeted us. He was extremely friendly and helpful in explaining what they had and what was popular. We ended up choosing the Da Vinci's Half, basically 8 donuts in one box. Customers could purchase the donuts as a single, 4-pack, Da Vinci's Half (8), Da Vinci's Dozen (16) or Business Box (16 of their best sellers), but we went with the 8 to give ourselves a chance to try as many as possible for 2 people. You might ask 8 doughnuts for 2 people, you're insane! Well, if you're not familiar with Da Vinci's, their doughnuts are actually quite small. I would say they are about half of the size of a typical doughnut outside. Also, it's a 100% cake doughnut, so there's no fillings, just toppings. The shop displays pre-made doughnuts with toppings at the counter, but they have 30+ total flavors that they can make, not including custom flavors customers can request! So, in total, they have 30 gourmet flavors, 4 class and 8 iced that they have on their menu, but the combinations are endless if you customize it. Besides the doughnuts, they also have a long list of coffee and specialty teas. I really appreciated the specialty teas because I'm not a coffee drinker, so I loved that they had a cold tea list. Anyhow, first the doughnuts. We ordered the Maple Bacon, Cinnamon Roll, Cinnamon Apple, French Toast, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon Bar, Boston Cream and Salted Caramel. Honestly, I don't remember the flavor each and every one because we devoured one after the other, but the doughnuts were all excellent. They were light and delicious. They weren't too sweet, so it was perfect. They all went well with our beverages, as my wife ordered an iced coffee and I had a shaken peach tea. If you have a coffee, then the doughnuts are really great for dunking. Everything was great here, from the service to the doughnuts. The employee helping us was very informative and, despite being the same base, the doughnuts had their own twists with the toppings.

I stand by my previous review that I would prefer more icing than the bread like donut but I think this place makes consistent and tasty donuts as long as you know the ratio leans more heavily to the donut. Since the donuts are small, they make a great party dessert as well!

Delicious donuts! & they were the perfect size too. Will definitely be back whenever I'm in the city again.

This is definitely not your normal chain donut shop but this visit doesn't have me coming back for more. Our first visit to Davinci's was what had us coming to this location. Disappointed in the freshness and overall taste of the donut I had and wish I didn't waste my calories on it.

For donuts, they are great. Very different than your traditional donuts -- you can get a variety of everything here-- not your classic DD or Krispy Kreme -- but it's different and sometimes change is good! Try them out if you haven't-- take some to work with you and share with your coworkers!

These doughnuts were delicious! You could tell they were baked fresh that day. I like them because they are little doughnuts so you can have a few to try. They have many flavors, my favorite was the lemon.

One year after opening its first location in Alpharetta, Da Vinci's Donuts opened its second location in Sandy Springs in March 2015. This is a nice little doughnut shop, almost boutique in nature, with a bevy of originally created gourmet doughnuts. One thing that sets Da Vinci's apart from the competition in metro Atlanta (e.g. Sublime, Dutch Monkey, Revolution) is you can create your own custom doughnut here, choosing from icings, toppings, and drizzles. Neat. Da Vinci's doughnuts are smaller than traditional doughnuts. I guesstimate a Da Vinci's doughnut is about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of a traditional doughnut. Their smaller size is supposed to make you feel less guilty about eating them, but I just end up eating more. At least it makes it easier to try more flavors. Unlike a traditional doughnut shop, Da Vinci's sells its doughnuts in singles or multiples of four. Here's what the prices looked like during my visit: Gourmet Doughnuts: Single - $1.35 4-pack - $4.95 8-pack (Da Vinci's "Half") - $9.25 16-pack (Da Vinci's "Dozen") - $14.25 Classic Doughnuts: Single - $1.15 4-pack - $4.25 8-pack (Da Vinci's "Half") - $7.95 16-pack (Da Vinci's "Dozen") - $12.25 Classic doughnuts are those that have a simple icing like chocolate or caramel, or simple doughnuts like those topped with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or sprinkles. Gourmet is where things get fancy. Examples include Cannoli, made with vanilla icing, cream cheese filling, mini chocolate chips, and real cannoli pieces; Dulce de Leche, made with vanilla icing, cream cheese filling, and white sprinkles; Sweet and Salty, made with chocolate icing, caramel drizzle, streusel, and sea salt; and Tiramisu, made with cream cheese filling, caramel drizzle, and cocoa powder. There are 40+ flavors total. I tried the following doughnuts: * Key Lime * French Toast - maple icing, cinnamon swirl, and powdered sugar * Samoa - chocolate icing, coconut, and caramel drizzle * Boston Cream - chocolate icing and cream filling * Maple Bacon - maple icing with real bacon bits * Chocolate Oreo - chocolate icing with Oreo bits * Caramel Crunch - caramel icing with Nestle Crunch pieces * Halloween special doughnut with orange icing, chocolate drizzle, and candy corn Overall, I thought Da Vinci's doughnuts were OK. None of the doughnuts blew me away like certain ones I've had from Sarah Donuts (cake), Sublime (yeast), or Dutch Monkey (cake). Da Vinci's doughnuts are cake doughnuts, but they seem lighter and more airy when compared to standard cake doughnuts. While not as dense, they also seem to be drier and less scrumptious. My favorites were the Chocolate Oreo and Caramel Crunch. No surprise there as I love Oreo cookies and Nestle Crunch chocolate bars. The icing was rich - I just wish there was more of it. All the doughnuts I tried used the exact same base doughnut, so once I'd eaten past the icing, toppings, and drizzles, I was basically eating the same plain doughnut over and over. I'm used to eating more of a variety. For example, some shops offer both cake and yeast doughnuts, or doughnuts of the same type may be made with different flavor mixes (e.g. chocolate, red velvet) or have different shapes, textures, and consistencies. I wasn't a big fan of the Key Lime, Samoa, Maple Bacon, nor Halloween special doughnuts. The Maple Bacon is one of their best selling doughnuts. It didn't really work for me. I guess I just don't like it when savory bacon is combined with a sweet, icing-covered doughnut. Service was great. All of the staff I interacted with greeted me with a smile and were friendly. The store is bright, open, and spacious with seating for roughly 25-30 folks. Doughnuts are constantly being made fresh and put on display in trays behind panes of protective glass at the ordering counter. The menu is handwritten on a black chalkboard wall. In addition to doughnuts, you can order coffee and tea too. Free Wi-Fi is available. Spend some time in the store and you will leave smelling like doughnuts.

Stopped in on a whim to grab a dozen donuts for a client meeting, and I'm so glad I did. These little charmers are just delicious. I love their size -- it means I can try more flavors and not feel that icky sugar overdose feeling you get from some other donuts. Do yourself a huge favor and try the Salted Caramel donut, the Boston Creme, and the Cookies and Cream if they have them.

It was my turn to get the donuts for the office. I love how Da Vinci shows kindness to the poor corporate souls bestowed with donut day responsibilities. I got the corporate box. It's not a dozen...there are 16 of those bad babies to make you the hero for the day. Strawberry shortcake is my favorite but the s'mores is pretty close. I was literally in and out within 6 minutes. Got back to job and hadn't lost my parking space. And today was a good day.
