Paradise Donuts

I love, love, love Paradise Donuts! My favorites are the PB&J, Orange Creamsicle, and the Fruity Pebbles. I am never disappointed. Yes, they are sweet… but it’s a donut! Not sure what else people expect?! No doubt these are better than DD or Wegman’s.

The only thing exceptional about their donuts is the unique flavor combos in the icing. The actual donut quality and taste is nothing greater than what you could get at the grocery store. Some of the donuts I got were a little stale. Service was good and prices are okay — I purchased a dozen donuts for ~$ 10.90. I probably won’t be returning.

Donuts are pretty good but the coffee is worse then a gas station coffee. Do not get the coffee!!! Plus the cups they give you are to skinny and move around a lot in a standard cup holder and spills everywhere

The employees are ok, the donuts are ok.
I came a little before 12 and the employees seem like they hate their lives and dunkin donuts donuts are better than these TBH. I got a maple bacon donut, s’mores, and special minions, way too sweet.

Fun find on the road to Sight and Sound Theatre. We got a dozen different and they were all good, some of our favorites were French toast glaze, peanut butter and chocolate glazed, blackberry cake and maple glazed. A great little fun shop to find.

Excellent donuts — VERY FRESH! Would highly recommend to anyone in and around the area!

When these are fresh, they are addicting! If you go too late in the morning you risk getting some donuts that taste like they’ve been sitting out a bit. That’s just what happens when a bakery gets up super early in the morning to bake everything for the whole day. Would be way better if they did a smaller batch early in the morning and then made more throughout the day!
I’m a fan of a classic so I always get a chocolate icing with sprinkles!

Visited for the first time this morning.
I was pleased with the unique offerings of flavors. The shop seemed to be very clean– I would have sat down inside had I not been rushing off to work.
All in all, my donut was okay. The employee who wrapped my donut wrapped it so tightly with the plastic sheet that all the frosting ended up on the sheet instead of in my stomach…
Will give another try. Looking forward to some new flavors.

Its a damn shame that I’m the only one so far that has given this place 5 stars. ITS A MUST HAVE, HANDS DOWN. Everything else I read is nitpicking.

I gave this place a try for the first time yesterday. It was just ok, I am only giving it 3 stars and not two because we came at the end of the day so the donuts were not as fresh as they could have been. That said the only person in the store was less than friendly, not rude, just indifferent. We tried 5 or so different donut types and found most edible. The filled donuts were not evenly filled, at least one had very little on the inside. I was hoping this place would be a step up from DD, but nope. About the same service and quality. They did have more interesting flavors though and it is possible we missed the good ones. May try again some morning.

Not your typical donut. Theses are specialty donuts made with love like s’mores, peanut butter and maple bacon which was my fav. If your on a diet, you shouldn’t eat donuts but these fat pills take unhealthy to the next level. That said, they’re good! If you ever paid a visit to Fractured Prune in O.C. Maryland, these donuts are pretty close but not hot like at the beach.

Much better than a bakery or a Dunkin donuts. Much more reasonable too. Their coffee roll is awesome, so are the coconut donuts.

How can you go wrong with Maple and Bacon donuts, Peanut Butter and Jelly donut, S’More donuts just to name a few? I mean the dilemma here is what do I choose?
I honestly believe that they have the best fresh donuts in Bel Air!

Interesting flavor combos. But the quality of the donut needs work. Go to Bel Air Bakery for the best donuts in the world.
We had orange cream, PB&J, maple bacon, French toast and glazed.

I love donuts. I mean, I love donuts the way Homer Simpson loves donuts… mmmmmmmmm, dooooooooonuts! Yeah, like that.
Having said that, I was all amped up to try this place. I ordered a maple glazed yeast donut and an Orange Cream filled. Tried the Orange Cream first. First bite — hmmm, no filling? 2^nd big bite, no filling??? Say What??? Stuck my finger in, and finally found a drippy white syrup. Tasted it, no, no orange taste, just terribly, terribly SWEET. The kind that makes your fillings hurt.
Ok, try the maple. Donut base is ok, yeast, not over cooked anyway. But the thin, super, SUPER sweet glaze, with barely a whiff of maple flavoring.
Ok, honestly, 89 cents each, both inedible. Nope, I’m heading back to Safeway or Shoprite. At least their toppings are good!

My boyfriend picked up a box of donuts from here as a surprise last Saturday. He got a dozen donuts that included: Fruity pebbles donuts (with vanilla or chocolate glaze), a Boston Cream donut, French Toast donuts, a Strawberry Fluff donut, a Strawberry glazed donut, a vanilla glazed donut, a chocolate glazed donut, a regular glazed donut, and a cinnamon bun donut. The Fruity Pebbles donut was good with the chocolate glaze but was too sugary with the vanilla glaze. The strawberry glaze donut was my favorite, while my boyfriend really enjoyed the French Toast donuts. The donuts were of standard quality and were the size of a typical store-​bought donut (unlike other speciality donut shops that have smaller donuts). Besides the strawberry glaze donut, none of them really stood out to me as anything special. In fact, now that I’m thinking about it, the cinnamon bun donut seemed extremely bland and dry to me– the boyfriend got that one all to himself after my first bite.
Since I didn’t enter the store at all, I can’t really comment on the staff or the facilities. However, I have drawn some conclusions from what I learned from my boyfriend. While I really enjoy donuts, I much prefer the ordering process at places like Fractured Prune where the donuts come out fresh and you decide what combinations of glazes and toppings you would like on them. Warming donuts up in the microwave doesn’t really compare to having them come out of the oven fresh!
Paradise donuts also offers drinks in their store. They open at 5 AM and close when they sell out of donuts. The next time we have a craving for donuts, I’m going to check the store out and see if there’s some more tasty donuts that we missed out on last time.
