Grannys Donuts & Bakery

I WANT to like Granny’s Donuts, but when I walk in the door, there is this smell that is weird. I think it is the smell of the oil they use for frying the donuts. When I bring the donuts home there is still that odor. I smell it when I eat them, and it leads to heartburn. I wish this were not the case because their custards & frostings are much better than Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’. I’ve tried several times thinking that maybe it was just an infrequent thing. Unfortunately, I have not visited a single time where there was not the oil odor. Even if my husband does the pick-​up and brings them home, I know where he has been from the smell. It makes me wonder what kind of oil they are using. I do not smell this odor at other donut shops.

Excellent old school donut place. Very good donuts and not expensive, especially compared with all the fancy, trendy donut spots that are opening everywhere. You get value for your money here, unlike at the trendy spots. We bought a huge apple fritter, raised donut and another big pastry for a little over $ 3.
When you’re bringing your Bentley or vintage Rolls-​Royce in for service at Bentley High Point, just pop across North Main Street and grab a sack full of donuts!

We discovered this High Point gem the other night when craving something sweet. They have a great selection of doughnuts, even at 7pm when we went. The place is small and in a strip mall. As with a lot of doughnut shops, it doesn’t look like much from the outside. Inside, there’s not a ton of space, but enough for a large glass display counter, a small soda refrigerator, and a few small tables. It’s been there for awhile, and you can tell it’s not about ambiance, but about taste and quality! Also, they have some doughnuts that could be considered «trendy,» such as a maple bacon glazed doughnut. But mostly you’re going to get the traditional, tasty classics here.
I had a white cake doughnut with vanilla frosting and sprinkles, and a vanilla custard/​pudding filled doughnut with chocolate icing. The custard filled doughnut was good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but I have high doughnut standards. The cake doughnut, however, was possibly the BEST I’ve ever had, and by a long shot! It was smooth, moist, tasty, and all of this in the evening long past fresh morning time.
My husband had an apple fritter, which he said was good, but large. Most fritters are large, but this one was a tad on the big side even for them. He enjoyed it greatly. I’m not personally sure how good it was since I despise cinnamon… I know I’m weird.
Overall a great stop for doughnuts. Cheap prices (they even sell the previous day’s leftovers for even cheaper!), good doughnut selection, coffee, espresso, and other specialty drinks, soda, and awesome doughnuts! Can’t wait to go back! I’ll have to try some of the coffee next time too!

Went here for the first time today … And O M G!!! The apple fritters are delicious ! Like my goal was to only eat half and save the rest for my daughter… but I couldn’t resist! It’s so yummy, appley-​gooey, and crunchy! I would recommend to anyone !

Visited Granny’s for the first time the other night and what a great experience! Super friendly service and the tastiest, freshest donuts EVER.
Try the apple fritter… wow, I completely get why it’s their best seller. The chocolate glazed donut holes were yummy, as were the regular glazed and cinnamon-​sugar ones. I’m making my mouth water!
Going back again… soon!

If you want superb, old-​school morning delights, then stop here to get your fix. They elevate doughnuts not by using exotic ingredients or putting layers of frosting but by creating great flavor and texture. Doughnut holes are not simply wasted but are filled with the right amount of jelly and melt in your mouth. Old fashioneds have just enough glaze so that you can have the crisp edges along with the cake interior. The fritters come in several flavors and I enjoyed the blueberry very much. The price point is ridiculously reasonable and parking is pretty easy. I would definitely return for more!

I really enjoyed their donuts and other sweets. I decided to bring a box of donuts home for my husband and i. As I was looking over the donuts I saw a black ant in the glaze of one of the donuts. I was disgusted.
I understand that bugs are in food places. I worked in a resturant. It happens. Please check over your baked goods before displaying them. An ant is not something I care to see.
I’ll eventually be back. I do wish that it was more light and airy in the shop. It’s pretty dark and gloomy. Could use some tlc.

Very clean and great selection of pastries. Hot Chocolate was the best I have ever had!

I was in High Point for a client visit when I turned to my trusty Unilocal app to find a place to bring some pasty to my meeting. As per normal, this strategy did not fail me as it lead me directly to Granny’s which is awash in 5 star reviews from the locals.
The smell walking through the front door of this joint was intoxicating, My mouth began to water almost immediately. They have a full boat of traditional favorites, along with some specialty items. The cherry fritter is orgasmic, and if you stop in you really have to give it a try. Yum!
The staff member (and likely owner) that I interacted with was super friendly and helpful in picking out my mixed dozen for me. Trust me when I tell you that the courtesy that people in the South extend to you by nature is a breath of fresh air after living in the Chicago metro for awhile. Prices here are also dirt cheap considering how awesome the product is. A bakers dozen set me back just over 9 bucks.
As soon as I walked into the conference room of my meeting and the guys saw the label on the box they shot me a big smile. It always wins points with folks when you seek out awesome local joints instead of Dunkin Doughnuts or Krispy Kreme.

Granny’s is as close to my home as Krispy Kreme. Although nothing beats a Hot Now donut, Granny’s has a much broader selection of pastries. Service is fast and friendly, prices are very reasonable. My go to spot for a quick and delicious sugar fix.

Heard great things about this donut shop so I decided to drop by tonight and treat myself to a calorie fest. It was definitely worth the 15 minute drive! They had a pretty large selection of donuts to choose from. I was bummed that the maple bacon donut was sold out so instead I got an apple fritter, blueberry cake, buttermilk glaze, coconut crumb, pumpkin spice, and an old-​fashioned. Every single one of them was amazing! Each one was soft and moist and tasted like happiness. Taste-​wise, I would say their donuts rank up there with Krispy Kreme and Shipley’s donuts. Will visit again soon in the near future to try out some of their other donut flavors and coffee. Now go indulge your sweet tooth!

So, I grew up on Krispy Kreme, and then wandered to Saint Louis… where some of the best donut shops (I’m looking at you World’s Fair Donuts) exist within about a 3 mile radius. Let me just say that these donuts are very close to the shops in Saint Louis. Oh… and my favorite, the filled donut holes. I must not get these because I will eat A WHOLE BOX OF 24 (OMG What did I just do!!!). So, if you are looking for an alternative to Krispy Kreme, want a good cake donut, think Dunkin Donuts is only for desperation (like me), or think a hot and now is not worth it go here!

I don’t even know where to begin. I’m speechless. Hang on… ok, I think I got it. My experience here was… truly life changing. My husband took off today and we had just dropped off my mom at the train station (she was visiting from NJ) and was looking for something sweet to drown my emotional sorrows in. I looked at my bookmarks and BOOM! Granny’s Donuts it was. Holy sweet mother of Johnny Depp, the baked goods were incredible; we decided to sample the apple fritter, maple bacon donut, chocolate frosted cake donut, chocolate frosted with sprinkles cake donut, 2 chocolate chip cookies, orange juice and a vanilla latte. My husband and daughter loved the chocolate cake donuts; they are soft, cakey and the most perfect kind of «dense». My son and I split the apple fritter and the maple bacon donut. The apple fritter was beyond perfection; crispy glazed goodness on the outside, soft & light texture inside with the right amount of apple flavor. Definitely trying the blueberry next! The maple bacon donut was everything it’s cracked up to be; soft, pillowy texture, crunchy bacon and delicious light maple frosting. The latte was made perfectly; not too hot, lightly sweetened vanilla flavor and the right amount of foam. Impressive! Service was fast and friendly; she was very very personable and we had a good nice chat, talking about us being from Jersey and such. My kids enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies tonight after dinner and really enjoyed them. Our total bill was about 12 bucks. Unreal for all that sweet sugary decadent deliciousness. Where we’re from at the Jersey Shore, a local donut shop we used to go to, (Mel’s in Lavallette) 12 bucks bought us 2 donuts, a coffee and an orange juice; no lie. We will most definitely be back to Granny’s Donuts! I seriously cannot wait; I may go back early next week!

Checked this place out after seeing my work friends return with glazed and powdered sugar faces and was very curious! Their donuts are indeed amazing had the pillowy soft glazed jelly donut omg so good and a cherry fritter the size of my headthis little hidden gem is worth a trip to kville no doubt

Cherry Fritters & Blueberry Fritters… Granny’s Donuts & Bakery changed my life.
Stopped at Granny’s for the first time while messin’ around High Point over the weekend & picked up a box of assorted goods to take home. Everything was outstanding, they have a really nice selection of fresh doughnuts, baked goods, a selection of coffee drinks & a few other items to choose from. A very clean & neat place, not much space on the customer side of the counter though, they have a couple of small tables & chairs against the front windows if you want to sit.
The cherry & blueberry fritters were wicked good, so awesome with a cup of coffee. I’m a fritter freak & I’ll be back for those, they also do pineapple fritters, but none available on this stop, I guess they rotate the fritter flavor options, except for apple, apple is available all the time.
Also tried the maple bacon doughnut which was very good, but my favorite out of what I tried, other than the fritters, was this little banana cream filled number that they had in the display case. This little jewel had icing on top with crushed vanilla wafers, the cream filling was awesome, to me it didn’t taste like that artificial banana flavoring, it tasted more like actual old fashioned cooked banana pudding like my grandma used to make. I’ll definitely be on this lil banana cream filled treasure on the next visit here.
Great Job Granny’s…See you soon

Great local donut shop. Have a wide variety to choose from bear claws and fritters to traditional donut flavors. Low prices as well!

The fatty in me is starting to show. I mean I usually walk into this place saying I am only allowed to get one donut and come out with 3 donuts. This place has donut options. My favorite is the maple bar. They do a good job of putting a lot of maple frosting on it also it comes with custard or cream in the center. The cinnamon twist is my next favorite it is soft and has a glaze over it. I am in a donut coma just thinking about Granny’s donuts. In addition to donuts, they sell some other pastries and they have a full on coffee menu but I have never tried their coffees.
This place is another High Point gem tucked away on main street.

The smell inside of Granny’s Donuts & Bakery hits you right as you open the door. It is an AMAZING smell of sweet deliciousness. Granny’s has both the light/​airy type of doughnut, similar to Krispy Kreme and also has cake doughnuts.
I like that the doughnuts at Granny’s only have a little bit of a sugary glaze on top of the doughnut, rather than being covered in glaze like at Krispy Kreme. It is a nice contrast and cuts through the sweetness to have a little bit of unglazed doughnut.
They accept credit cards and have a $ 3 limit to use a credit card. They have a few other baked goods such as cookies and turnovers. Granny’s also has coffee, bottled drinks, and specialty coffee drinks (frappes, etc).
Standout favorite doughnut is the maple glazed with bacon!

Granny’s is like dying and going to heaven.
They have 2 huge vitrines FULL or deliciousness. I have never seen so many varieties of donuts in my life.
They even have donut holes filled with pastry cream, lemon curd and other crazy delicious creams.
Granny’s also has Red Velvet donut holes, blueberry etc.
You will seriously have a hard time deciding what to get.
All their pastries are fluffy and light and you can taste how fresh they are.
My mouth is watering just describing them to you, just go and pick up a dozen donuts for me, ok?

Love the Mom and Pop Donut Shops like this, stopped several times over teh last few months and everything was great, huge and cheap. Especially love the Coconut ones
