About Daylight Donuts

Daylight Donuts is a small donut shop located near the ETSU campus, with a second location at 2708 N Roan St, Johnson City. The shop is known for its friendly staff and delicious donuts, with a wide selection that is always fresh. Many customers enjoy the unique pastry called a bear claw, which is made from glazed donut dough and filled with strawberry jelly and cream filling, as well as the Pine Cone pastry, which they find to be fabulous. The donuts are praised for being much better than those in Dunkin or grocery stores, and the customer service is often highlighted as very good. While some issues have been reported with the bubble tea tasting like water and the tapioca balls sometimes being deformed, the cups for the bubble tea have become bigger, so adjusting the recipe is recommended. Despite these minor flaws, many customers appreciate the friendly service and the quality of the donuts, which they consider healthier because they are made with no preservatives. Overall, Daylight Donuts remains a favorite for locals seeking fresh, tasty donuts and good customer service.

Since changing owners, have tried and tried to give them a chance but never again. Driest kolaches, asked for mild, just sausage and cheese, got home and they are jalapeño. Ordered glazed filled Bismarks, got dry, no glaze, lumps of dough with filling the size of 1/4 of a penny. Ridiculous! The Hawaiian is supposed to have pineapple and coconut in it, ended up with an apple fritter like thing with no apple! Never ever again!

Daylight Donuts has changed hands repeatedly with quality dropping each time. Today they refused to honor a gift certificate bought at the State of Franklin store as I stood in the State of Franklin store. It was a $12 gift certificate for a $20 order that I had cash in hand to cover the difference.

We ended up going across the street and getting a bigger order at Auntie Ruth’s.

Nasty biscuits and gravy! Gravy is awful biscuits so tuff fork will not cut bread. Prices have went insane- never again
