I have explored a wide variety of donuts all around the greater metro-atlanta area and I have decided that Sweet Apple is my favorite donut destination!
Bottom line is flavor. Many donut places have some gimmick or focus like the “made-to-order” places, the “decorate and flavor your own donut” places, the mini-donut places, and so-on. After the novelty of these other places wears off one comes to the realization that you might not actually love the donut itself. Flavor, texture, or toppings are bland or off.
Sweet Apple has a huge selection of flavors and donut variety and every single one I’ve tried has been fantastic.
Blueberry donut - contains and tastes like real blueberries
Strawberry donut - has fresh delicious strawberries every time
Apple fritter - contains and tastes like delicious apples
Eclairs - perfect custard or frosting filling.
Both yeast and cake donuts have the perfect texture you want from each style. I prefer yeast myself and they are wonderful.
Nothing pretentious about this place. Very friendly owner that obviously cares about service and return business. She cut the straw for my 5-year old daughters milk cup so it would be perfect for a little kid (without me asking).
The owner will sometimes bring out samples of a new donut flavor she is trying to see if you like it.... spoiler alert.... we always like it.
My advice:
Figure out what you love about donuts. Try lots of places, then come here and try sweet apple donuts, I bet you forever crave this place like I do.
My only negative comment is that now I compare every other donut place to sweet apple and leave disappointed, wishing I had just gone to Sweet...

Dae Jo and his lovely wife, have served Alpharetta for several years and truly are a great contribution for the early morning community.
Their day starts early, around 2 AM, in the shop, preparing amazing treats for all. I have made several visits to order the strawberry roll, for a very special person. She loves those things and she loves the people that make them!
Recently we had a situation where our family fell victim to Parkinson's. A tough situation that required a stay in an assisted living facility for two months, while they prepared her for brain surgery, all of our fingers are crossed.
Not only could she not enjoy her beautiful home, only 5 miles away, but she also had no means to get her hands on her very favorite dessert, the coveted Strawberry Roll!
Being in Florida, I could not just stop in and pick them up to deliver, and when they realized who the customer ordering a DOZEN DELICIOUS STRAWBERRY ROllS was, and our situation being that she really wanted some of those Strawberry Rolls, they closed shop at the usual 3:00 hour and hand-delivered the Strawberry Rolls to the assisted living facility that she is being cared for at. Who can top that one??
Please stop by the Sweet Apple and feast your eyes on all the amazing things they made a few hours before your alarm went off.

Read moreWe went at 9:30 on a Sunday morning. This was the perfect time. They weren’t out of anything and there was no line.
Staff were wearing masks, but they didn’t require customers to wear masks.
We got 6 donuts. Here’s what we got, in order of my preference: Blueberry (cake): Very good Cinnamon Sugar Twist (yeast): Good, but I wish we’d gotten the cake donut version Chocolate-Covered Sour Cream (cake): Good, but hard Muscle (cake): We tried it because it’s made out of tofu and we were curious. Had we known it was also blueberry, we wouldn’t have gotten the other blueberry cake donut. We couldn’t tell that it was made out of tofu. But it was definitely harder than the other blueberry. Eclair (yeast): Nothing special about it Fresh Strawberry and Cream (yeast): Apparently this is their most popular; the cream tasted like Starburst, not a fan
We also got a large drip coffee and two small iced coffees (one with brown sugar cinnamon flavoring and the other with pumpkin pie flavoring). We wouldn’t get those flavors again. We would probably just go with normal cream and sugar.
It came out to $23 for the 6 donuts and 3 coffees. She threw in some donut holes for us, which was nice! The donut holes were good!
Overall, not the best donuts we’ve had...
