15 Best Donuts in Knoxville

“Their bacon egg and cheese sandwich croissant is the best ?“

“Our scruffy little city has one of the best donut shops in the world, and I don’t think enough people know it.

I’ve eaten donuts all over the world and it’s one of my favorite things to try when visiting a new city in order to rank and review. I grew up in Memphis with what I consider to be one of the best donut shops around, which is Gibson’s. Beaver dough is even better than Gibson‘s and one of the best donut shops I’ve been to in the country if not the world .

I have been to over 50 different donut shops at this point and Beaver dough is what I always find myself comparing to. They have the best donut style cinnamon rolls I have ever had and the chocolate glaze donut is my favorite donut in the world.

As snobby as it sounds I usually can tell when a shop is going to be good and if they sell other items besides donuts it’s usually a bad sign. Beaver dough’s bagels and bagel sandwiches are pretty awesome as well so it’s equally impressive and ironic they are my favorite. The staff are always so nice and help as well!“

“My favorite place to get donuts and breakfast sandwiches!“

“The best donuts around, especially the fritters and the blueberry and strawberry cake donuts. I do recommend calling and ordering a day in advance because they seem to sell out often.“

“I drive pass four donut shops to go to this place because the people are really super nice and the donuts are always fresh and the filled donuts are really filled unlike the other donut shops I wasted my money at thank you very much for a great donut shop. I drive 40 miles round trip to get the best donuts ?“

“This place is great! Donuts are made to order and hot. Best to eat them as soon as possible. Surprisingly not as sweet as you might think. Coffee drinks taste great and also don’t have an overpowering sweetness to them. Would highly recommend!“

“Best donut shop in town! The owner always goes above and beyond.“

“Good and fresh doughnuts and service too👍🏼“

“Great doughnuts, even better coffee.“

“Love this place and the people.“

“Just to let people know... pets are not allowed inside... only at outdoor sidewalk seating. Also... everywhere we looked said to park under the expressway and walk up.... don't do that. 100s of homeless people and pretty sketchy. There is pay street parking. They need to add this info to their FB page and website. Overall place was just ok.“

“We enjoyed the atmosphere of the historic architecture and celebrated our anniversary with a champagne greeting at the door and a card from the staff! We thoroughly enjoyed this night of dinning adventure (see photos) and fine cuisine full of flavor. Very on point and professional. Thank you staff! We will be back!“

“My favorite Dunkin location! Service is fast. They are super consistent with how they make the drinks here, so my coffee always comes out the same every time, unlike other Dunkins, where the amount of cream and syrup, and the strength of the coffee, is a surprise every time lol“

“Usually we get really good service. Tonight however the cashier had a bad attitude and there was a note taped in the window asking for tips and to honk for good service. I was not impressed.“

“Shoutout to Patrick for fixing my atrocity of a “coffee” I got from another location. Made it just how I like it and doesn’t taste like it was made from the dirt they apparently dug from the grave they were trying to put me in with that coffee.“
