Flatfish GNV (Doughnuts and Bakery)

Had their chocolate glazed donuts and monkey sticky buns.

Amazing donuts, delicious and not super sweet. Rotating flavors monthly, thanks for the strawberry sprinkle being a staple, my daughter loves them!

The donuts are good. However, they sell out early almost every day. If you’re coming from a bit of distance, don’t be surprised if they have sold out of a popular donut. I have tried on 4 separate occasions and have gotten here early 2-3 hours prior to closing and each time they have been sold out of the only donut I like. It’s disappointing. I won’t go anymore because of the inability to stock appropriately.

Flatfish has some of the best doughnuts I've ever had. Currently, my favorites are the pecan praline brioche doughnut and the pumpkin spice vegan iced. Absolutely fantastic food, great coffee (it's Opus ;)), and a great atmosphere for those quiet mornings!

The BEST donuts to ever grace the streets of Gville.
Patty & Micheal make a great team! Absolutely anything you get here, will knock your socks off. My top 3 are the Caramel or Lemon filled brioche donuts, Passion glazed, and the Cardamom sugar!

Best vegan donuts. These even beat out ones that I have had in Asheville, NC. Very friendly service. These are becoming a part of my Sunday morning routine.

Donuts were very greasy. I realize it is deep fried, but I have been around lots of donuts in my time.

This might sound like an exaggeration, but these might be some of the best donuts I have ever had! The fillings and icings are decadent and rich, but not overly sweet and the flavors taste real and natural. Just eating one makes me want to eat another, and then another... If you enjoy eating donuts, please stop by this place and give them a try!

I really hope that one day they become as popular as Halo donuts once were ??

Donuts are homemade and TASTY with unique flavors you can’t find in elsewhere. The owners are a super sweet married couple who KNOW how to cultivate a local business.

Vegetarian options: Flatfish creates donuts that are all vegan and have their own flavors. And not just one or two options, there’s variety.

Parking: There are street spots but they go quickly. Best to bike it if you can.

Kid-friendliness: Comfy atmosphere and counters are low-ish so kids can see what they want. They also have kid-friendly cups and silverware.

I got the pina colada and banna cream and they were just perfect.

These donuts are extremely fluffy and the filling isn’t overwhelming. The lemon curd filling is tasty and perfectly zesty but the chocolate velvet barely had flavor in my opinion.

The donuts were still extremely good and you could tell the ingredients used are quality, but for the price they’re at, I can’t see myself frequenting here.

Honestly, I think these are the best donuts I've ever had. Both the filled and the vegan glazed (I'd never even guess they were vegan) are excellent. Not overly sweet. Good ingredients, delicious and unique flavors, perfectly cooked and prepared.
I tried their catfish meal before they moved to donuts only and that was great as well.
Coffee is even good and the owners are super nice.
Try it out!
