Small shop, hot coffee, THE BEST doughnuts and soo many to choose from. I’m always greeted at the door from the ladies behind the counter. The caramel butter cream is my go to, the cherry and apple fritters are also delicious! Definitely stop in if you’re looking for something sweet!

Chocolate frosted donut not pictured because I literally couldn’t wait to eat it – I cannot believe how moist these were at 12:30 pm on a Sunday.
Shocked by how many donuts were left 1.5 hrs before close considering they were amazing.
Young woman serving us was very sweet!
$4.35 for three donuts? Absolute insanity – haven’t seen prices this cheap in years.

Found this gem last weekend! We live a little more than an hour from Ferndale but my husband saw a TikTok about the shop and the man loves a fritter so a spontaneous roadtrip ensued! I am so glad he saw that TikTok! The place itself is in a strip of stores and while not much to look at who cares! The sweets were amazing and the service beyond expectations! It was busy when we got there but service was quick and efficient. Something to know is I never, never eat doughnuts or fritters. Have never liked them. What I now know is I don’t like bad doughnuts because these were all delicious and now I’m a huge fan! We ordered several different kinds of fritters – apple, maple bacon, raspberry and blueberry. Also got two scones – blueberry and orange cranberry. Blueberry fritter was my husband’s favorite and the raspberry was mine. Both of the scones were perfect in taste, texture and sweetness. The staff person helping us was so friendly and welcoming and when she found out how far we drive she added a bag of four of their popular doughnut flavors for free. Very kind. They were yummy! I tried to get pictures of everything but we didn’t make it out of the parking lot before several were gone!! Highly recommend this place both for food and service. We are already planning our next trip in a couple of weeks.

Apple Fritter Donut shop has the best apple fritter donuts and variety of delicious donuts in all of Metro Detroit. They also open very early and the staff is extremely helpful, friendly and FAST. I use them frequently for work meetings and everyone is always satisfied. I’ll definitely be back!

Stepping into this Ferndale donut shop felt like wrapping myself in a warm, comforting blanket. The air, crisp from the early morning, was instantly replaced by an intoxicating aroma that defines perfection: that glorious mix of fresh-brewed coffee and warm, sugary donuts, making it feel exactly like 5 a.m. should.
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a cheerful server whose genuine smile was as bright as the Christmas decorations sprinkled throughout the cozy interior—it truly felt like the holiday spirit was already in the air!
I came for the legendary goods and was not disappointed.
• Sugar Donuts: I was lucky to snag these! They sell out fast, and for good reason. Light, fluffy, and perfectly coated in fine sugar—a simple classic done flawlessly.
• French Curler (Cruller): A delicate, airy dream. Its unique shape delivered a satisfying texture, especially with a fresh coffee dip.
• Old-Fashioned: Textbook perfection. A dense, slightly crunchy crust giving way to a rich, cakey inside. The quintessential donut.
• Strawberry Filled: A burst of sweet, authentic flavor! The perfect balance of fluffy dough and fruity filling.
I’m telling you, this shop doesn’t just sell donuts; they sell happiness in a box. This is a must-visit Ferndale institution. They are the Absolute Best Donuts!

This is probably my favorite donut shop! I love coming here for paczkis but they have a huge variety and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. They also have coffee which I appreciate being on the menu. Highly recommend

We got too excited to try every donut before we took a picture! Fruity Pebbles donuts are my absolute favorite donut & I’ve NEVER had such a good donut — you could hear the crunchy of the pebbles as soon as you bit in. The staff was so sweet & genuine. Gave their honest opinions about donuts & coffee & really made you feel like everyone that came in was family. 10/10 recommend, will be back.
