Donut Stop — Restaurant in Georgia

I live in Japan and stayed in Atlanta for two months. I reflect on my time here—spending days in an unfamiliar environment far from home—I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the kind couple who own Donut Stop. Their warm hospitality brought me both encouragement and comfort during this exciting yet sometimes lonely chapter. Every morning, this couple would arrive early at their shop to prepare fresh donuts with great care. On my way to school, I would stop by Donut Stop to enjoy their freshly baked donuts and a cup of coffee for breakfast. Their donuts gave me a sense of comfort and peace that is hard to describe—something that reminded me of the warm breakfasts my mother used to make long ago. There are many donut shops in Japan, including Mister Donut, which originally started in the U.S. but now has its headquarters in Japan and is as common as McDonald's.

My recommendations are the "apple stick", "strawberry glazed" donut (delightfully crispy on the outside!), and the sausages rolls (regular or jalapeño are both good, the regular also has cheese bits in it! 💞) You can get filling breakfast of a delicious sausage roll, donut and drink for under...

Every donut I've ever tried at Donut Stop had been everything it should be and more. To out it into one word, they are fantastic.

If you get a filled donut they fill it as you watch with a filling of your choice. The raspberry is very good inside of a glazed donut and the Bavarian Cream in a chocolate frosted is my other favorite combo. They also have a great lemon filling and today I noticed a "white" filling on the menu which I haven't tried but assume is a sweet whipped cream type of filling. I bet that's good in a chocolate frosted donut too.

I've also had the apple fritter which is excellent, and the twist donuts are also great. And be sure to get some donut holes for the ride home, they melt in your mouth and are...
