Sarah Donuts

Thank you Google Maps for alerting me to this local doughnut shop. It may be small but there are lots of treats to choose from. I purchased 2 "cake" doughnuts and an apple fritter. All were delicious! When I visit the Atlanta area again, I will definitely come back to this shop.

Someone introduced me to this place. She brought in donuts for us all to try. They were AMAZING!! I had a glazed donut and red velvet donut with icing on top that was one of the best donuts ive ever had! But, I've now been to two other locations, and no one seems to have the iced red velvet donut. I guess ill have to travel here to get it again!

Best Donuts I’ve ever had! Red Velvet Glazed is my favorite. Cute mom & pop Donut store. They’re made daily from these cute Korean ladies!

I had a glazed doughnut and cinnamon roll, and that glazed donut was hands down the lightest, fluffiest, and freshest donut I have ever had in my entire life! My kid who is very picky was eating it, so that further illuminates how good they were! The inside of the store is very nice. Overall a great shop and a must visit if you are looking for a great pastry.

Overrated donuts. Bad service. I was confused about their pricing for the more expensive donuts (their communication/signage wasn't explicitly clear), so I asked a question once I got the total price for a dozen; both women spoke in another language right in front of me and – quite frankly – I could tell they were bad-mouthing me right at the register. No customer should ever worry about this. I'll never give them my money again. Show some respect to your customers.

Discovered this GEM a time back, passing by! Last week was my 1st visit (I visited again this morning)! I LOVE this donut shop! Very PROFESSIONAL & FRIENDLY staff, they’ve made me smile on each visit, just how warm they make me feel entering their shop and how well kept it is. Their donuts are the BOMB!! So fresh, even if you keep them in the box overnight! They have so many flavors and types, it be so hard to choose. I love that I don’t have a MINIMUM nor MAX in choosing what I want, which is expected from a donut shop. The shop parlor is well lit and clean as well. Plenty of room to navigate and sit, if you prefer. They also have a little POINTS system. I got a FREE donut today! Sarah’s is my #1 go-to Donut Shop, keep up the GREAT work! <3

When you move to a new state, there are certain things you have to find that are as good if not better than what you had in your previous hometown and for me one of them is a really good donut spot! Today I went to Sarah Donuts on Jimmy Carter Blvd after hearing great things from a friend. Being a fat girl at heart, I had to make me a sampler box so I can experience many flavors. I got a dozen box that featured: sour cream, red velvet, chocolate glaze, original glaze, glazed cake, cinnamon sugar, blueberry, and two different jelly filled. Customer service was great and they were very patient as it was my first time visiting. Next time I will come earlier so I can have more to choose from but I couldn’t help it and had to try one before I left the parking lot and ate another along my way home. They are so fresh tasting, soft and pillowy, just the right amount of sweetness. They know what they’re doing for sure! They also have plenty of drinks to wash it down with. So grab you one, they’re open Monday-Saturday 5:30-2pm, closed on Sunday’s. I know I’ll definitely be back😃

Great and interesting variety of donuts, plus all the classics. The donuts are soft, moist, and delicious! The service is also great. Very fast and friendly.

The best donuts and customer service run by some very nice ajummas. Clean interior, two small seating areas. If you haven't been before go try now. The strawberries and cream was like biting into a pillow

Delicious and fresh donuts. Staff is as sweet as the donuts. There are so many flavors to choose from, and you can ask for the donuts to be filled. We love ordering a dozen to share amongst friends.

We had a great assortment of Sarah Donuts delivered to our office earlier this week as a morning treat from a rep. Thank you. I tried a couple and they were delicious. The office staff loved them as well. We have become fans of these delicious donuts. Thank you.

My home girl brought me little donut holes from here and I fell in love! A dozen for only $2.50? WHAT??!!?! I came here the next day to get sum holes and other donuts. Love it!!! Korean owned. Down the street. And donuts are scrumptious.

So... someone brought these to work and I got a sample. Days later I found myself in the shop buying all the donuts. An overwhelming selection with any flavor you desire. Of course I got a dozen and they were all good. If it weren't for how far these shops are located from me, I'd be at Sarah Donuts everyday.

Sarah's donuts is always a hit when we bring them in for celebrations. Upon walking in the two ladies were very sweet and lovely. Their service was fast and attentive. The ambiance is a cute, retro style. The donuts are soft and freshly made. They have wonderful options and you'll always leave with your original or a different option. Give it a try!

I would really love to give this shop 5 stars. I LOVE the donuts so much, but I have to be really honest in hopes that they either hire new staff or become more tolerable. I have spent HUNDREDS of dollars at this particular shop, some weeks going in 3/4 five days a week and the staff still treats me like a stranger every single time. Large patrons and supporters of a business don't want to feel that way. Do I expect different treatment? Not at all. I expect to be acknowledged. I'm not one to say this often at all because I rarely feel it in Atlanta, but I absolutely feel like I am ignored/mistreated because I am Black. The women in this store greet people who do not look like me much different than myself. When ordering certain items, they offer them things they do not offer me (different types of cheeses for the croissants, for example). Though I order the exact same thing every time I come, I have to explain it every time and sometimes even after explicitly stating what I am ordering, they will give me the wrong thing and it just feels purposeful. Especially because like I said, I'm here so often and order the exact same thing. They've been rude to me about not mentioning oat milk and me trying to I guess "take advantage" by not telling them for the 625183936 time that I order oat milk in my coffee. They made me feel like I was trying to get out of paying the extra idk 75 cents. I've tried to overlook, but after giving me the wrong croissant AGAIN today after I told them, I no longer feel it's a business worth all of the money I've been spending. I say all this to say, I just want others aware. Donuts are great, service to SOME absolutely is not and I hate that for us

They have a wide selection of donuts and non-donut options (eg, pigs in a blanket) to choose from. My go-to order is the strawberry cream sandwich (also known as the fresh strawberries and cream donut)

This place is a must for you donut lovers! The donuts are tasty and not overly greasy! The variety is excellent. The maple bacon donut has at least two strips of bacon on each not the little bacon it's that usually comes on donuts! They are super delicious and addictive! This place to worth the driven! I live 2 hours away but whenever I am nearby I have to make my stop!

Sour attitudes and somewhat stale basic donuts. Came in to redeem a birthday coupon (see photo). It was met with immediate exasperation and I get it; perhaps the tiny Korean elder couldn't be bothered with the English. Fine. But when the second employee didn't even bother to hear me, just kept barking, "You pay, you get. We start at 1.50. Wait!" When it was just me and one other customer... Nah. You're not going to be both rude and a recipient of my money. I likely would've bought more because who puts just 1.50 on a card but not with those attitudes. Store is clean enough, minus the trail of coffee when I walked in. After I left, I received yet another text coupon. Yikes. There's another location of this brand and several other options around.

The donuts seem to not be made from scratch in the kitchen. They are probably shipped from somewhere else. I can tell by the taste and texture.

The employee was very nice but the donuts were dry and tasted cheap despite us being there shortly after opening.

I've been here several times and they do not disappoint. There's something about a couple of Ummas serving you an amazing donut and knowing the community and regulars coming in. They'll call you out by name and greet you as if you were a family member. I've had their strawberry and cream along with their croissant sandwich and pig in a blanket, but the Korean version. All of it is great and by far if you're looking for some good donuts and you're in the area I would definitely recommend Sarah donuts!

I thought Dunkin donuts was good but now I found a great place they have the best choice of donuts and they are good also have the best croissants fast service and the ambiance is very good always alot of customers are in their they are atake out servicetry them out and I bet you want go back to Dunkin donuts. I rate them a five star thank you for the service ‍ which is awesome thank you Darryl Garmon

This was the perfect cream filled glazed donut. Everything looked sooooo good, I will certainly be back sooner rather than later:)

I'm not a huge donut person, but I was heading to NC for work and wanted something sweet. Sara's Donuts was one of the few places open at 7am, so it worked out. There's plenty of parking and whole lot of choices! I had a chocolate glaze cake donut and cinnamon twist because I was being greedy! Both donuts were fresh and tasty! If I'm in the area again, I'll have no problems going back.

I love a good donut and I am always looking on the quest for a good donut. I am happy to report that I have found Sarah's Donuts near my mom on Jimmy Carter. The donuts were fresh, tasty and they offered a variety. My favorite is the traditional glaze. It was soft and delightful. If you are looking for donuts in the morning or a quick dozen to take into the office for a meeting. Look no further, I highly recommend Sarah's Donuts.

YUMMY. I received a dozen donuts for my birthday and ate almost the entire box. I was worried that they would go stale the next day (I did try to have SOME self-control), but they were still delicious! The flavor combos are great. Loved the ones with fillings. Such a treat!

Great taste and always fresh. They have a wide selection to choose from, my company orders these many times for employee appreciation day.

These!!! I'm not a donut person but anytime Sarah's are involved, I always get one. They're always airy and with good taste. My husband and I love coming!

These are some solid glazed donuts. I'm not a big fan of donuts, but these were nice and light. They weren't overly sweet. These also held up pretty well over the week and didn't get stale.

The pic you see is the light, fluffy & scrumptious coconut donut this donuterie offers! Work got these for us & MAN O MAN! Not too sweet at all, and the icing isn't as thick as it looks. Just right! I've not been to the shop, so I can't speak of the inside, parking, staff, etc. By the offerings today I will visit soon, in person!

Amazing fresh donuts. Co-worker loved the surprise! Fast and friendly staff. Right off the interstate.

We went at 10:30 am on a Saturday. They were out of the waffle donut, which we definitely would've tried. Tip: go earlier. However, we were still impressed with how much they had left, considering they had already been open for 5 hours. We got 6 donuts. They were pretty average. Here's what we got, in order of preference: Sunflower (basically a cinnamon bun) ($2.49), Croissant Donut ($3.99), Cinnamon Sugar ($0.99), Cookie Monster ($1.79), Red Velvet ($1.39), Raspberry-Filled Donut ($1.39). The Red Velvet didn't taste like Red Velvet--it tasted like a regular donut that just happened to be red. The raspberry filling was so artificial and gross. Would not recommend. We got a small and large iced coffee. They were both super, super sweet. Tip: get the iced coffee black and add your own sweetener and cream at the counter. The employees were helpful and very patient as we made our decision. They were all wearing masks. We've read that they have the best donuts in the state. Maybe our expectations were too high, but we were disappointed. I think there are better donut places in Georgia for sure.

Drove past this cute donut shop and let me tell you I'm impressed!! They have a cute and wide variety of donuts to choose from! They have new donuts to choose from everyday today i chose spider man , maple bacon, and strawberry and cream!!

Florida native here and this place is a must every time I travel up. Their iced coffee, savory croissants, and donuts are out of this world. Can't find any donuts like this place in Florida. Their cake donuts are supreme!

I've been on the hunt for the best donuts, that aren't cake donuts, in the area and these are it. A good donut place also needs the small sausage rolls, and the ones here are really tasty. I also love the cute seasonal donuts they sell. I wish they were open on Sunday, but this is now the only place I'll get donuts from.

Hands down one of the donut spots i've EVER been too; and that's saying a lot cause I'm a sweets guy ! Usually I was stick to Sublime for my donuts but hated going all the way to the city for it ! With Sarah Donuts it's right down the street from my house (Norcorss location) and has a completely different assortment then Sublime. All Sarah's Donuts are made fresh daily and the people working there was extremely friendly and welcoming. The Donuts I decided on were the Red Velvet, Sour Cream, Mable Eclair, a vanilla star donut, and a Apple Fritter. And let me be clear... EACH AND EVERY ONE WAS AMAZING! I will faithfully be back to try as many flavors as I can. If you haven't tried Sarah Donuts yet, make it happen quickly ! They can hold their own

really had quite a selection! I tried 7 or 8 different kinds. In don't recommend the breakfast sandwiches they are microwaved and kinda yucky. Not cheap but very tasty for the doughnuts.

Never have I ever had a donut ... a donut so good in my life. I tell you Atlanta knows it has a lot of hidden gems and this place is one of them. My co-worker likes to surprise me with treats. Bless her heart. This is my second time being treated with donuts from this place. My donut was a Strawberry Cream Donut. This is not just any old store chain creation. This thing was made with love. It is light, airy and fluffy split in half and filled with the most delicious cream and sliced fresh strawberries. You have to take your time eating it because you don't want it to end. I also had a sausage rolled in some type of pastry. Equally good. Omg. Go see these folks.

The ladies are so nice, pleasant, thoughtful and polite..I would definitely recommend this place

* rated best donuts in georgia but not my favorite * kronut was very good but you could taste the butter so it was a little too sweet * red velvet needed more flavor. it was hard to tell it was red velvet besides how it looked * the raspberry filling was very artificial * the cookie monster was good! tasted like a regular donut with icing & sprinkles * the cinnamon sugar tasted dry & would probably be better warmed up * the sunflower was the best one - it was cinnamon & glazed, SO good * overall, the donuts tasted a little dry & were not fluffy & airy like i usually enjoy (think krispy kreme); good if you just need a donut place to go to but not regularly * the owners were very sweet & they were wearing masks

When you have a taste for a donut... Sarah gets the job done It's average but I like to support small businesses.

Maple bacon donuts are soo good! Pricey but worth it to indulge sometimes as a special treat

We loved this little donut place! Excellent variety, very clean, friendly staff, and affordable. We bought our donuts, and a variety box for a gift. Everything was excellent, we'll definitely come back here when we're in Atlanta.

The donuts here are friggin' delicious. The first donut I ever tried at Sarah Donuts was a red velvet cake donut with icing. As soon as I took that first bite, my eyes lit up with pure delight. The donut pretty much blew me away and I don't say that often about food. Sarah Donuts is a small mom-and-pop donut shop located in a nondescript strip mall on the stretch of Jimmy Carter Boulevard in between I-85 and Buford Highway. This cute little local business opened in 2011. The owners are humble and nice. The older lady owner is sweet. Note: Sarah Donuts is only open in the morning and early afternoon, 5:30am to 2:00pm, and the shop is closed on Sunday. You'll have to go early in the day if you want to get your donut fix. Not only are the donuts delectable, but they're a great deal too. Most donuts are only $0.75 to $0.99 each and you can get a dozen for $8.00 to $8.50. Donut holes are $0.17 each. The only bad thing about Sarah Donuts is having to stop yourself from eating too many. They're that good (at least, to me they are). My favorite donuts at Sarah Donuts are the cake donuts. The yeast donuts are very good too, but they aren't significantly better than the yeast donuts at Krispy Kreme or Sublime Doughnuts (two donut shops I am also a fan of). Like any good donut shop, the staff at Sarah Donuts prepares their donuts fresh each day. They are "handmade" and the freshness and high quality are attributes you can taste. I recommend just about any of the cake donuts, but for reference, here are some of my favorite ones (in order): 1. Red Velvet Cake - be sure to get the version with icing 2. Glazed Twist Cake - essentially a cruller donut 3. Glazed Chocolate Cake - rich, comforting 4. Sour Cream Cake - sounds weird and it's not sour 5. Maple Glaze Cake - nice thick layer of maple frosting 6. Sugar Cake - added texture and sweetness 7. Plain Cake - simple, but very good The cake donuts are ideal. They seem to have the perfect mouthwatering consistency. They aren't too dense nor too airy. They're neatly rounded and almost melt in your mouth. Even the simpler cake donuts, such as the sugar and plain varieties, can be supremely gratifying. What do they put in this stuff? Sarah Donuts officially eclipsed Dutch Monkey Doughnuts in Cumming for my favorite cake donuts in metro Atlanta. As for yeast donuts, I favor the Regular Glaze, Chocolate Glaze, and anything with sprinkles. The Star Donut with Sprinkles is probably my favorite of Sarah Donuts' yeast donuts (of the ones I've tried). Though they're not bad, I'm not a fan of the yeast donuts with chopped nuts or coconut shavings. Yeast donuts with filling are available too. Fillings can include cream, lemon, strawberry, and raspberry. Aside from donuts, there are various other pastries too such as cinnamon sticks, twists, eclairs, cinnamon rolls, apple fritters, and bear claws. Savory pastries include ham & cheese croissants and sausage rolls. I like the chocolate-frosted, cream-filled eclairs. They're light and fluffy yet smooth and creamy. Splendid for a mid-morning snack. Sarah Donuts serves affordable Royal Cup coffee and cappuccino which is usually no more than about a couple bucks a cup. Other beverages are self-serve out of fridges and include milk, Yoo-hoo, various fruit juices, bottled Starbucks drinks, Gatorade, energy drinks, and Coke products. A bottle of water is $1. The store has a simple and clean all-white interior with limited seating. There's one table that can comfortably seat 4-6 customers and a counter against the window that can seat a few more. No Wi-Fi. Most customers grab their orders and go. Service is excellent. A dozen donuts are packaged in a compact box with the donuts lined up next to each other vertically (similar to the Krispy Kreme 12-count boxes you might find at a grocery store). This is opposed to the standard donut box which is flat and wide. The Sarah Donuts box is easier to transport. For those donuts with frosting/toppings, a sheet of bakery tissue paper is placed around them to prevent the frosting/toppings from rubbing off onto adjacent donuts.

We discovered this donut shop quite by accident as we were in the neighborhood. Hands down the best donuts I've ever had. So fresh and I'm in love with the Strawberry cream donut. We tried the Sarah donuts by our house but they close at noon and don't make the strawberry cream style. So we go out of our way for this location. They even taste good the next day!

I love their donuts. My favorite is the cinnamon-sugar cake. If you're looking for some protein, their sausage wraps are satisfying. These are real donuts; don't come here looking for Krispy Kreme.

The donuts are so good they sell out so get there early! They are so friendly and the donuts are soft and moist. My favorite is the blueberry donut

I ordered a dozen assorted donuts for my friend's bachelorette. I wasn't able to go because of Covid, but everyone said they were delicious!! She even wrote a sweet note on the front. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a local donut place in our area since DD just wasn't living up to our taste. But I have to say, I am not disappointed! This place has a great variety of donuts, so there is SOMETHING for everyone. It's a bright and cozy space and the donuts are displayed in a way so you can easily see everything. The people behind the counter are friendly and patient. Also, their coffee is self serve and pretty good. And the price is reasonable too. Will have to try their sausage rolls, they remind me of the kolaches we used to get back in Texas! Overall, I would definitely go back and try all the other flavors they have! If you're ever in Atlanta area, this is definitely a go to!

Sarah Donuts never disappoints! I recently stopped here to pick up two dozen donuts for a birthday surprise. Requested for an assortment of her most popular donuts, along with a few of the red velvet donuts with icing. Those are my absolute favorite here at Sarah's. Everyone loved it. It's been a while since I came last and the quality is still the same. Service is wonderful. Donuts are made fresh daily and you can't go wrong with any of the options here. ***Getting out of this location can be restrictive, but if you turn around towards the back onto Pelican Drive and make a right onto North Norcross Tucker Road, you can make a left/right just fine.

I honestly wasn't super impressed with these donuts. They tasted a slight notch above Dunkin IMO. I got the cinnamon powder cake donut and the chocolate frosted with peanut crumbles donut (I don't know the actual names for these). They did taste fresh out of the oven, but my expectations were super high based on all the reviews. I do believe that the quality is likely better when it's not COVID season and I definitely would like to come back and try and again. The lady behind the counter was super nice and inviting. Plenty of parking and the shop is located in a very busy area..Norcross is busy in general.

This is by far the best donut shop in Atlanta. There is not need for a long review you will simply have to try each and every donut for yourself. Whenever I want to show an appreciation for my clients or simply have have something for my guests I will grab an assortment of donuts from Sarah's and allow everyone to debate over who gets what donut. Blueberry is my favorite. However the classic glaze and red velvet are costumer favorites.

My wife loves Sarah's donuts and she usually brings one home every Sunday when she goes to do her Pure Barre class! That's kind of comical because she goes and works out so she can have a donut! LOL

Sadly, this is about 20 minutes on a not great route away from my fat a$$. But I go a lot anyway, because I NEED the sausage rolls real bad. They also carry a standard size Coke Zero in a can, cold. Exactly how I like it and impossible to find in restaurants. So I go out of my way, eat a lot of the jumbo rolls and drink a frosty zero. Gotta save calories somewhere.

How mean am I to only give Sarah Donuts a 4 stars last time. I've been going more than the check-in's showed. Sarah Donuts is definitely very yummy and delicious. Even though they do not have a lot of "specialty" donuts, what you get is fresh, baked, quality donuts that melts in your mouth and dance in your guts. Sarah Donuts has recently announced that they will be opening a location in Decatur!! http://www.decaturish.com/2017/11/sarah-donuts-opening-north-decatur-location/ Their other four locations are in Gwinnett County - Norcross, Johns Creek, Duluth, Suwanee. I came in on an early morning around 6 am and made a weird request for my donuts. What it is that I wanted two dozen donuts - red velvet & original glazed. However, I didn't want them in boxes. I wanted 12 individual bags, each with one red velvet and one original glazed. They smiled and gladly obliged! I even used their tape in the store to fold and tape the top down. I didn't have any cash to tip and told them to add two extra donuts to my total cause they are just simply the best! I gave the individual bags to certain co-workers. They smell the freshness and just loved. Win-win. Thank you Sarah Donuts!!! 196/2017

I've been here TWICE. The first time was with a good friend of mine who introduced me to this place. From my experiences, the donuts are fresh out of the oven and delicious. They are soft to the bite! No complaints. I actually ordered a box to-go the first time I was there so my family could try it. HIGHLIGHTS: -Locally-owned -Not pricey at all -Lastly, the donuts of course! ( Red Velvet, Glazed, Sourcream, all of them!) CONS: 1.Like many asian businesses-- there is a credit/debit card minimum in order to swipe. 2. Store hours (I'm a busy guy...could never make it before they close).

Love this place, The little Asian lady is so nice. You pick your donuts and they stuff it right in front of you. Pretty awesome. And they have a fairly large selection.
