Lickin' Good Donuts — Restaurant in Pelham

This is probably one of the fastest 5 star reviews I've ever posted, but man...

This is exactly what this area needed (thank God not another gas station)! Here are the highlights:

Their prices are outrageously low. I paid $7 for a full meal that was not only hearty but left me excited for a return trip.

The food is delicious and substantial (I got a jalapeño boudin kolache and Thai iced tea boba tea).

The service was exceptional. The lady and her daughter(?) who got my food and rang me up were salt of the earth women. In an effort not to get anyone in trouble, I got "서비스" o sea "comida gratis." Shhhhh.. don't tell. 🤫 IYKYK

The location is super convenient right off 31S near I65, so it's accessible to a large swath of commuters.

The flavors of the boudin and the Thai tea...wow. I can't say enough great things about this new location. It makes a lot of sense how quickly they've branched out seeing how delicious it is and how much less expensive their food is than most nasty, larger chain donut places. Do yourselves a favor and get on over there. They're even open Christmas Eve and until noon on Christmas!

Update: 2nd visit here and I found out they give a 10% military discount!! ❤️ 😍 Plus, this time I got the jalapeño sausage kolache and it was equally delicious!

Update 8/2:

Hate to do this, but I gotta edit my review. For the first few months they were open, the food was great, service superb, and I had zero complaints. The last few times I've stopped by, they've had a new employee working and she just really doesn't know how to make the bubble tea. The boba are all stuck together, clumpy, and so chewy they're inedible. The kolache has been really bland, too. Probably won't be back until they either train her better or get new employees who make the same caliber...

THE BEST DONUTS IN BIRMINGHAM! This shop is run by the most lovely couple. They are so sweet, and their donuts are absolutely amazing. Our families top picks are the kolaches, apple fritters, and cake donuts. The price is incredible. You simply can not beat this place. Hands down, fantastic all the way around!!! Highly recommend!!! I would have added photos, but the food was simply gone before I even had a chance to think about anything else. We will not be going anywhere else for donuts ever! I totally hope this place sticks around for a while! I can't believe it's not advertised everywhere! Please, please, please give this place a try. You will not regret it! I'm hoping to try their Boba...

My husband popped in a few minutes before close because he'd never seen the place before and asked for a dozen of whatever was left. The picture is what we received. ALL of the donuts were SOO good! Our favorite surprise was a peach filled donut!! There were fresh chunks of peaches in there--not too big, but it didn't taste artificial YKWIM? We will definitely be coming back. Judging by the other high reviews, it seems we've discovered a hidden gem that the rest of you already know about. Here's to hoping they get more business and...
