I live in Japan and stayed in Atlanta for two months. I reflect on my time here—spending days in an unfamiliar environment far from home—I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the kind couple who own Donut Stop. Their warm hospitality brought me both encouragement and comfort during this exciting yet sometimes lonely chapter. Every morning, this couple would arrive early at their shop to prepare fresh donuts with great care. On my way to school, I would stop by Donut Stop to enjoy their freshly baked donuts and a cup of coffee for breakfast. Their donuts gave me a sense of comfort and peace that is hard to describe—something that reminded me of the warm breakfasts my mother used to make long ago. There are many donut shops in Japan, including Mister Donut, which originally started in the U.S. but now has its headquarters in Japan and is as common as McDonald's. Still, very few shops make fresh, handmade donuts daily without relying on machines. In Japan, the word handmade carries the meaning of something valuable and trustworthy. The handmade donuts at Donut Stop, freshly made each morning, were more than just a delicious treat—they were nourishing and dependable, both physically and emotionally. As I look back on these precious two months of challenge and growth in Atlanta, I know I will also remember the sweet warmth of those handmade donuts for a long time. I wonder if I will ever return to Atlanta and have another chance to enjoy them. I sincerely hope so!

Wow! This is one of the hidden gems of the county! These donuts are simply amazing! We also tried an apple stick that I read about in other reviews and it was incredible as well. You can tell these are made fresh everyday. I have never had a donut this delicious!

Donuts do not contain eggs! My daughter has egg allergy and she took the strawberry sprinkler donut and loved it. Great service by the store manager. Overall better than Dunkin. I would recommend this place.

This is really good place in my neighborhood. I am so glad they opened up. Having only Dunkin in the nearby area is not good for my donut pallets. Reasonably priced and very good quality of food.

Best donuts in town, by far.
