So. Good. Friendliest staff. Just come early or they run out.

[This visit occurred pre-COVID] It was a busy day with no time for lunch. I was concerned that I would be hungry (and therefore hangry) during a show at the Detroit Opera House. Luckily, I spotted this little doughnut shop between the parking center and my destination. Sunlight streamed into the small and serene space. I liked the quietness in the middle of the city. Album covers and other artwork crowd the counter area. Two friends enjoyed their treats and conversations by the counter that runs the length of the window. On a Saturday, there was still a variety of doughnuts available in the display case. Several vegan options, as well as a cinnamon bun, were also on display. However, the orange-pineapple one called my name. I love unusual and creative combinations that cannot be found at a neighborhood chain. I should have asked. It was a cake doughnut, instead of my preferred, a yeast-raised one. Darn. Still, I was okay with the dense doughnut with a crunchy crust and thick sugar frosting with tiny flecks of orange zest mixed in. The gentleman behind the counter was extremely courteous. He pointed out how to quickly access the opera house. I was so hungry that the doughnut was half eaten before I even got there.

Good place to hang and eat some good food. Next time I'll be back with my friends. Prices that won't break you. Reminds me of a cafe in Chicago I liked to visit.
Ricardo Batres
Love it. Everything about it, from the vinyl spinning to hearing stories about Jay and his love of donuts. It was awesome.

I walked in here and started looking for the menu. Asked the lady here where it was and she said this is the menu and pointed at the donuts. I'm like ok... so I got a banana pudding donut and lemme tell you... life changing! I am absolutely in love with the vibe and the donuts!! Definitely a place worth trying! Will be taking a half dozen to California with me because I know I will crave them as soon as I get off the plane! If you're local and not trying this place out? What are you doing with your life?

J Dilla was the G.O.A.T when it comes to music production. Dilla’s Delights is the same with the ? donuts! His music is the soundtrack to my life and I keep it near and dear to my heart and my journey through this thing we call life. Dilla’s Delights is a must have whenever I come to the “D” Thank y’all for keeping the memories alive in the physical, because the music will continue forever and it’s all good.
AMAZING ladies work here!! I had the best experience, so happy they have delicious vegan options

This is my second attempt to give this place a try. My coworkers and I often bring donuts in to our office in the casino. If I find a new spot I like, I stick with it. Your reviews tell me I'd like it. Unfortunately, short of paying $12 to park in a nearby lot, there's little to no available parking for this place. The limited number of spots on nearby streets are all filled to the max and remain so, despite my second and third circles around to scout for spots. How can we check you out if we can't even find a place to park? On to the next one.

Seriously, what a delight. It's hard to find a vegan donut and even harder to find an amazing one, but Dilla's nailed it with their vegan sweet potato donut. Dilla's will definitely be a new go-to stop every time I'm downtown. An added bonus - the staff were so friendly, loved offering up their recommendations, and seemed passionate! You could tell the donuts were made with love

This place is a hidden gem and a total delight. The donuts are absolutely delicious - you can tell they're all hand cut since no two donuts look the same haha. They offer up classic donuts but also vegan ones - win! The vegan sweet potato one I had tried stole the show for me. The lemon glazed donut (not vegan) was also delicious - you could see the bits of zest in there. I definitely recommend folks stop in here and get your donuts. The two ladies working the day I was there were so friendly and let us try a few new flavors they had since it was our first time in. Support small businesses - stop into Dilla's!
