Gotta get there early but it’s definitely worth it!!

Best apple fritters! My father in law who is a pastry connoisseur has to come to Early Bird every visit to get the apple fritters and donuts.

Best doughnuts in the triangle, bar none But they aren't kidding with the name of this place, if you aren't here early in the morning they sell out of doughnuts and don't add more.

doughnuts were nice and fluffy, the biscuit was good too, and coffee was excellent. service was no fuss.

We planned to dine in and then had to leave. The donuts tasted like the fryer oil had not been changed in a long time. Tasted floury and overly sweet. The staff was robotic and unavailable. Not unfriendly but strangely distant. Didn’t finish the food.

I really thought I googled a good Donut place. Maybe it’s because it was a Friday and Valentine’s Day that they didn’t have any donuts. This was at 8:30am. Either way we were able to get a few glazed crumbs and glazed cream filled donut. Not what I was hoping for. We paid $21 for 4 donuts and 2 large coffees. The coffee was freshly brewed. The workers seemed overwhelmed and the atmosphere was a bit chaotic. It could have been an off day but this was my experience. I would say if you want to try donuts get there super early and hope you get something. Donuts were okay. Coffee was sub par. Creamers seemed a bit warm. Wait for a dozen donuts was 20 min. Plenty of parking. Seating was okay. Chaos just comes to mind. It was really busy and the staff was just trying to get people what they wanted I’ll plan better the next time I go, once I try other spots. I’ve never had this experience at a donut shop before.
I have been here four times and three of the times they were totally 100% sold out of donuts. Each time before 9am! Can they make more donuts please??

I ordered an egg, cheese, and sausage croissant, donut holes, and a coffee this morning. My order took no less than 15mins and the sandwich wasn’t edible. The sausage was burnt beyond recognition and the bread was hard and fell apart. I didn’t venture deep enough to check the egg but I have my suspicions. I took a pity bite, really wish I hadn’t. The donut holes were decent and the coffee was coffee flavored, so there’s that. The place seemed great, I had high hopes, and will give them another go. Can’t bash the whole place for one sandwich and, given the opportunity, will gladly review them again with fresh eyes.

Maybe the best doughnut I’ve ever had. Was craving a doughnut and found this place a few minutes from my house. Light, pillowy dough you can tell was made fresh. Nothing is sickeningly sweet either like you would get at a chain doughnut store.
Excited to come back and try other flavors.

Doughnuts and apple fritter were very good. I wish we would have gotten there sooner to choose from a bigger selection.

I LOVE this place! Definitely family fun and kid friendly. It's called 'Early Bird' for a reason folks, they only make a limited amount of items each day, you have to get up early to get what you want before someone else does.
The breakfast sandwiches are... delicious...! They have always been very flavorful and are made with cured meats that are very, very tasty! I have enjoyed many breakfast sandwiches and completely enjoyed every bite of all of them.
The doughnut dough recipe is awesome, very original and much better texture and flavor than any others, creative & cute frostings and toppings, and the BEST apple fritter I've ever had in my entire life - (I'll never be the same again)! Many times I wake up and lie in bed deciding if I will get my favorite donut by going in early or if I will chance it not being there because I slept in... (sometimes it's a very tough choice!)
The crew is SUPER nice! They are all working hard, get along really well, and always make me feel like they are very happy to see me. I couldn't be happier coming to this place on Saturday to do some extra homework.
Thanks y'all, you've given me something special to look forward to every week!
