Happy Happy Friday y’all!!! So y’all have to know by now, doughnuts are my absolute complete and total favorite junk food ever, sooo I’m always looking for new, local doughnut places to try out. I kept hearing about this very unassuming place called Sweet Apple Donut & Coffee and how ridiculously good their doughnuts were. To be honest, I guess you could say this place is in Atlanta, but it’s soo not, it’s about 30 miles north of Atlanta, but I figured, what the heck, even a not great doughnut is probably worth the trek-spoiler alert, these are very worth the trek.
Here are a couple of nice overviews of the whole ding dang box of doughnuts I got, obviously their label here…
mmm…
more mmm…
and here is a close up of their peanut butter banana donut sandwich with a chocolate glaze, that’s not the official name of it, but y’all get the idea…
and a close up of their peanut butter cup donut…
First off, the lovely, lovely people who own and operate Sweet Apple Donut, could not have been any nicer, seriously. When the sweet woman found out it was my first time there she gave me 2 free food items, one donut (their top selling tofu donut-it wasn’t terrible but not for me) & this incredible pig in a donut blanket thing “for the road.” I mean, how sweet was that? Anyways, so the peanut butter banana sandwich donut tasted like my childhood, because PB & banana sandwiches were life as a kid. There was no way I could finish that donut because it was massive, but crazy decadent and delicious, with neither the PB nor the banana overpowering the other, then the perfect hit of chocolate glaze on top, mmm. The peanut butter cup donut, is a yeast donut and had the perfect whipped peanut butter frosting on the top and a little in the middle of the donut with a chopped peanut butter cup. This donut y’all, sheez, soooo rich and wonderful, because they still put a wonderful glaze all over the entire donut. All of their yeast donuts knocked it out of the park, their cake donuts, which I had 2 of (blueberry & and old fashioned sour cream) were just OK, I felt they may have been just slightly over cooked, but that may have just been that day. I had high hopes for their bacon and cheddar cheese topped donut, but it was just meh, I thought it would be an awesome sweet & salty thing, and it was just kinda chewy. Their strawberry bar with the whipped cream was phenomenal, with the perfect amount of strawberries and cream, and the bar had just the slightest crunchy bite to the outside, but soft in the middle, sooo good. Their apple fritter was also pretty good, but I kind of didn’t like the apple pie filling just sitting on top, I much prefer the apples mixed throughout the fritter, not bad, just not spectacular. They had a Dulce de Leche donut with white chocolate shavings on top as well, and to be completely honest, I was so full by the time I got to it, I took one bite and I don’t even remember what I thought haha. Overall, Sweet Apple Donut & Coffee make fantastic donuts, especially their yeast ones, and the customer service is what sets this one apart from other places. If you are ever in the Alpharetta area, make sure you swing by and grab one.
Thank you all for stopping by & Happy Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there, especially to my mom! 😀
