8 Best Donuts in Detroit

“Best donuts ever!!! My kids brought home a dozen of donuts from the yellow light, so I cannot tell anything about the service and the atmosphere of the store.The donuts are excellent. It’s very fresh and not oily. You can taste the good ingredients. Blueberry, raspberry, lemon, lime taste like those fruits with right amount of sweetness. Birthday cake, brown butter and old fashion were also excellent. We will be coming back for more donuts again.“

“I’m not a huge donut fan, but Elias donuts has changed that for me. As soon as my husband and I walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and offered a hot, fresh donut. It was so warm, fluffy and creamy. That one free sample converted me, and we ended up buying way more than we intended to. We left with huge order of staff recommended donuts and nothing disappointed. I can’t wait for my next visit!“

“came in for an espresso based drink - asked for a flat white, eventhough it wasnt on the menu, the barista was fantastic, able to take my order while she made an espresso for another client. not a spot to sit and drink though, just grab and go. love simplistic menus like this place“

“We’ve gotten Dooped Donuts twice downtown and once at the Ferndale Project and they are are always amazing! We decided to order two dozen for our baby shower and they did not disappoint. They were a huge hit and nobody could believe they’re vegan. They’re THE best! Our favorite is the cinnamon swirl!“

“Not a lot of parking but they get you in and out quick. I loved the atmosphere of locals having coffee and conversing I'm the background. I'm a sucker for an apple fritter and theirs did not disappoint. You probably can share if you wanted. So delicious! ?“

“It is impossible to put into words the value of real craftsmanship. This is honest, humble, hand made goodness.These donuts, are what I expected to receive. What a world we live in, when the “standards” of yesterday are the exceptional of today.These… are truly exceptional. Go, buy some and enjoy.I could watch the artisans through the window for hours. Brilliant!!“

“My goodness I have never had such delicious deserts in my life! The customer service was top tier, professional and beyond accommodating to my needs! Not only was the deserts delicious down to last bite but the bakery itself it's just so nice, clean, cozy and all around beautiful atmosphere. It's a big plus that it is Black owned by a Woman!! 10's across the board!!! They have my business along with my family, friends & colleagues for life!! We won't be going anywhere else!“

“This place is inside the Penobscot Building, through the main entrance and up the stairs. I stopped in here for lunch with some friends one day while attending an event Downtown. I got a BLT, which was excellent. The others who were with me enjoyed their sandwiches as well. Since many of the other lunch places around here are closed, this is a good, well-priced option for a simple lunch.“
