O.B. Donuts Memphis

"Best donuts in Memphis without a doubt!!! Shop was packed on arrival and I was expecting a 15-20 minute wait but was out in less than 5 minutes and all the staff were pleasant and friendly! Would give 10 stars if google would allow me to."

"Great breakfast spot while on our road trip! So many fun varieties for donuts! The bacon, egg, and cheese croissant was amazing!"

"Best doughnut ever!! Even better than krispy crème!! Their doughnuts are always fresh and fluffy and can be rewarmed after a long day. The staff are always friendly and nice. I give them 10 stars for politeness. I was late going to work because I wanted to get my co workers doughnuts from O.B. and I didn't care cause it was worth it lol my co workers loved the doughnuts and got mad at me for just ordering 20 lmbo like really . Love this place! And the cappuccino is really good and the turkey and cheese croissant."

"These donuts are soft and fluffy with a slight pleasant chew. These donuts have a light glaze that is just enough sweetness that it satisfies, but not so much it overwhelms. You can enjoy it the first bite, or as you binge through an entire dozen. The fresh fruit custard donut was really really good and by itself would have made the trip to OB's donuts worthwhile. The cinnamon crumb has a strong cinnamon flavor with a moderate sweetness and a crunchy crumble on the exterior. It's my new favorite cinnamon pastry in Memphis! I would say that for cinnamon lovers the crumb is even better than the cinnamon roll. It reminds me of the cinnamon butterfly at K's donuts in Bartlett. So good. The cinnamon roll was quite tasty, soft fluffy and sweet. It's nice and I'd get it again, even though I've had better. The blueberry cake had a strong blueberry flavor and a moderate sweetness, and was moist enough to be cakey and have a soft mouth feel. The coconut donut had a strong coconut flavor that was quite pleasant and a vanilla undertone that went quite well with the coconut. I find most shops don't have enough coconut flavor on their coconut donut but this was done just right. I'm not a fan of apple fritters as I think they're too sweet for my palette. However I have to admit that while this apple fritter was sweet like most apple fritters are I could tell this was much better than the other apple fritters I had tried from donut shops.. It had undertones of cinnamon but not a strong cinnamon taste to it and the exterior had this nice soft crunch from the glaze l. There was quite a bit of apple chunks throughout the fritter to where the apple flavor was quite present but not too strong; there is a good balance between the different flavors of the fritter and the sweetness even though like all other apple fritters I found it a little too sweet for my tastes and could only manage to eat half of it. The cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar were okay, but nothing special about them except for the dough being light, airy, fluffy and having a nice chew to it. Their glazed donuts are delicious. The light and fluffy dough really works well with the light glaze. The maple iced donut had a solid maple flavor that wasn't too strong. The icing wasn't too sweet or too thick either. It was well done. But I still find myself disappointed that maple donuts aren't as taste as real maple syrup. The cream cheese danish was one of the better danishes I'd had from a donut shop. The old-fashioned glazed was quite good, not too sweet or cakey. It had a good balance between everything. Not the best I've had in Memphis, but better than most. The butter roll was pretty good too though It didn't have that strong of a butter flavor as I would have liked. I asked the owner to make a croissant and glaze it and he did and I think out of everything I ate that was actually my favorite next to the cinnamon crumb. The raspberry filled had some bits of raspberry in it and a moderate raspberry flavor that suggested it contained at least some real fruit. It tasted better than the raspberry fillings at many other donut shops, but still not as tasty as a good compote or jam. I also had two bismarks. Unfilled. I cut them open, stuffed one with a blueberry ginger honey compote, topped with reddiwhip and fresh blueberries, the other with a raspberry honey compote reddiwhip and fresh raspberries. They were so incredibly delicious that I think in the future I'll not bother trying the filled donuts from shops and instead just get bismarks to fill with homemade compotes and whipped cream."
