The Heavenly Donut Co.

The best donuts in Birmingham, in my opinion. They have very creative flavors and always plenty to choose from when I go in; yeast and cake donuts. They also have coffees. Friendly service as well.

For 35 years, things have been pretty hostile between us and the Iranians. And with the sticky issue of nuclear weapons development on the part of the Iranians, things were only going to get worse.
In March, 2015, rumor has it that a private jet from the State Department landed at the Birmingham airport. It taxied to a stop where, moments later, it was approached by a black van with tinted windows. Two gentlemen emerged from the van, scanned the tarmac for witnesses and shoved several cartons of Heavenly Donuts into the maw of the waiting airplane’s cargo compartment.
On April 2, an accord was signed. Coincidence? I think not. According to accounts, the only sticking point in the entire thing was the Maple Bacon donut. «Why couldn’t it have been turkey bacon?» the mullahs complained.
This jibes with my experience. Because if you take Heavenly Donuts to your next business meeting, they’ll be putting their John Hancock on that contract forthwith.

I’m usually picking up a donut (or 2, 3, 4!!) about once a month from this awesome place! Thank goodness this place isn’t close to where I live because I’d be in big trouble eating a donut a day, probably, maybe? Anyway, by far, my favorite and THE best donut shop in Birmingham. From the regular glaze to the Reese’s to the apple crisp cake donut, EVERY donut is fresh and tasty! I didn’t think I’d like the maple bacon because, well, bacon flavor with something sweet just didn’t appeal to me. But let me tell y’all, that combo of flavors is mind-​blowing and it doesn’t taste fake.
Their flavors are legit! I thought the strawberry would be too sweet but it was just right! I haven’t had a bad donut yet! I guess I need to just keep tasting all of them right? And that apple fritter??? Mind. Blown!
The owners of this cute little place, Brock and Kimberly (as well as every employee) are the nicest people! One night I stopped by late evening on a Sunday and was I so excited when I saw the lights on and people inside. Normally they close early on Sunday afternoons but how lucky was I to find them open! So I walk in and everyone turned to look and it only took a few seconds to realize it was a private party. Ooops. But that didn’t stop Brock from coming up to welcome me in and offer me some donuts. They were having a small group Holiday party so there were plenty of donuts and he allowed me to pick whatever I wanted. Free! How cool was that?
I highly recommend getting specialty donuts here for birthday parties or group events. Matter of fact, they have free wi-​fi and a lot of room for those who need a quiet place to study or meet with small groups. The location can be a bit tricky on Cahaba River Road just down from the new Grandview Hospital and Target. But that is the only place I’d go out of the way for so don’t let the 280 traffic deter you.

I have been going by and picking up 12 assorted every Tuesday as usual. Fresh! Awesome donuts! I must be a Donut nut!

From the simplest plain glazed doughnut to the maple bacon to the Oreo and Peanut Butter Chocolate, everything here is delicious. I’m accustomed to the amazing doughnuts from Cothran’s in Gadsden, and I’m happy to say these are the closest to those delicious ones I’ve found. I’ll be back :)

Disappointed to see multiple flies flying around inside both donut cases because they looked good. There was a long wait … But that ended up being good because after waiting 15 minutes for the two people in front of us to order we noticed flies shimmying all over the m&m donuts, getting stuck in the caramel icing, hiding out in the donut hole stack … And had to leave. And before you say I am being hysterical, hello, does typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera mean anything to you?! Really glad we saw this, surely this is not normal business at this place but I am never returning for sure. Sigh.

Caveat: I have only tried the truck when it’s parked at Pepper Place during the Saturday market hours.
The apples fritters, when available, are easily the best in town. Yes, they are not cheap but they’re the size of a small baby, nice and apple-​y, and even better than the too-​often-​overcooked ones at YoYo. However, and here is why only 3 stars, the truck runs out of them by 9 AM!

Best donuts I have ever had. Co-​workers agree. We travel a lot around the US. Best donuts anywhere, the old fashioned is the perfect combination of texture and flavor balanced against sweetness. The coffee is also good.

Yes please! The dough is perfect and the flavor was delicious. The daily nutella donut is great. A must when visiting Birmingham or for a treat

Maple Bacon– Amazeballs. $ 1.75
Doughy, but not too much. Not greasy. Perfect amount of glaze and bacon. Reasonable price.
I visited at Pepper Place so naturally there was a long line. Would have moved faster with two people working the truck. However, the guy was extremely nice.
Other flavors a are $ 1.50/each.

Good customer service.
Loved the heart and attitude of the owners.
Great work environment.
Food was creative and tasty.
Worth my 5 stars.

Love love love this place! First time I heard of it was from the scout of the Washington Redskins! He brought in these masterpieces one morning and I was blown away. I went there the next day and bought my first maple bacon donut! We usually come up every other Sunday if we have time and my family loves it.
The donuts are always made fresh. They are soft and full of flavor. I have tried them all and don’t feel guilty one bit.

I stopped by on my way to work to pick up a dozen,“I love you buy this is my two weeks notice”, doughnuts. The worker got a kick out of my request but quickly put together my order. It really worked like a charm. Every one loved the great variety of beautiful tasty breakfast delights that I had brought to the office. I tried an original glazed and it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend them to any and everyone who wanted to treat themselves to something less than healthy.

GOTTA GET THE APPLE CRISP.
Love this place. My wife and two girls and I really enjoy it. Best donuts. We went the other day for free donut day. First time to have the glazed. We also couldn’t resist getting the apple CRISP. My wife likes the Oreo. My three year likes anything with sprinkles.
Family oriented.
Great service.
I’ll be back.
Just order two dozen to pick up in the morning.

Visiting the area and decided to stop in based on the 5 star rating. So glad we did and the young lady that helped us was so nice and friendly. Plus the blueberry donut holes were awesome!

I have tried my share of doughnuts and these are some of the best for a reasonable price! If you show up from 11pm to midnight on Friday or Saturday night they sell the doughnuts for 1.59 for half dozen or 3.18 for a dozen. Can’t be beat! Hope one day they will come to Atlanta because we need some cheaper doughnut options that are still great.

Delicious donuts at an excellent price point!!! Wow don’t even know how to describe how great these donuts are. So many flavors to choose from it really makes it hard to pick just one… That’s why I got 4! Definitely a place I would get fat if I went too much but for sure so worth the calories.
My favorite donuts are the coconut one, the Reese one, and the long john is excellent. Really don’t think you could go wrong though with any of these donuts!
Don’t want to miss out on getting donuts from here!!!

Oh my god, just came here for the first time. Prices are incredible for speciality donuts. They were delicious and fresh. Love their hours; you can get donuts until midnight. From I believe 11pm-​midnight they run a very cheap special to get rid of that says donuts, something like $ 1.50 for a dozen or near that. The young girl working at the counter was very sweet and fast.

So excited I found the ad for this local donut shop on Unilocal!I was convinced I needed to go when I saw the 10% off for Unilocalers. I guess Wednesday nights aren’t particularly busy for them, so I was the only person there. The lady behind the counter was so sweet in helping me pick out what I wanted. I wasn’t planning on getting a half-​dozen, but they all looked so good that I couldn’t leave with just one. I got a caramel coffee glazed, triple chocolate cake, apple crisp, M&M, red velvet cake, and German chocolate. I’ve only eaten the triple chocolate thus far, but it was fantastic!
The only downside I could find about this place was that it looked like the biggest gym in the state of Alabama (I’m talking the size of the Leeds Bass Pro Shop) was likeeee 0.2 miles away. So while I’m gorging on my fabulous donuts I can basically see people being healthy, but it’s all cool for the sake of donuts! I’ll definitely be back to try more flavors!

I loved the VARIETY of DIFFERENT donuts. Loved the red velvet! All of the donuts I had were cake donuts but there were just what I would expect in a good cake donut. If you are looking for a deal, check out this place at 11:00pm on Friday or Saturday because they drop the prices dramatically!
