Laurel Tavern Donuts
If you ever find yourself cruising through Laurel, Maryland, and suddenly crave something sweet, Laurel Tavern Donuts should be your first stop. Tucked away at 115 Washington Blvd S, this cozy spot has become a local gem for anyone who takes their donuts seriously.
From the moment you walk in, there’s this warm, old-school vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a secret hangout. The smell of fresh, sugary dough hits you in the best way possible—yes, it’s that kind of place.
One of the highlights here? Their Glazed Donuts. Soft, perfectly sweet, and just the right amount of sticky, they’ve got that melt-in-your-mouth magic. And if you’re into something a little more fun, the Sprinkle Donuts are colorful, playful, and a favorite among kids (and, let’s be honest, adults too).
Another must-try is the Apple Fritters. These things are packed with cinnamon flavor and little chunks of apple—crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. They’ve definitely got that homemade taste that’s hard to beat. Can’t decide? Grab a Half Dozen Donuts and mix it up!
It’s not just about the treats here—it’s the kind of place where the staff remembers your name if you come in more than once, and where every bite feels like comfort food. Whether you’re picking up a quick snack on the go or just want to indulge in a sweet moment, Laurel Tavern Donuts delivers big time.
Word on the street is, their classic doughnuts are also some of the best in town. So if you’re nearby—or even if you’re not—it’s worth the detour.
Reviews
Judging a book by its cover will make you miss a true treasure. Open the door of this shop and your senses will take you to a happy place. Taste the donuts and you will be hooked. The flavors are delightful and the texture is light. The just right amount of sugar makes this place a "go to". They also make good breakfast sandwiches. Be there when they open or you will miss out!!!!!!!
The doughnuts were delicious! Very fresh! The mini burgers were ok. Not great but good for what they were
I came here for the first time on a Saturday morning at 10am and it was packed, I was surprised. My friends and I stopped by and the three of us could barely stand in the lobby since there was a crowd of people all wanting donuts. To be honest I was caught by surprise by the crowd. There is no seating place just a small counter to pick up donuts, but you can see the kitchen. When we walked in we were surprised to see that most of the donut counter was empty, but then 3 big treys of donuts fresh from the oven were brought out. As the line started to close, it was fun to see how people would order dozens, the donuts would start to fall short, and then out comes another fresh batch of donuts. We also ordered breakfast sandwiches along with our dozen donuts. The donuts themselves were fantastic, each donut was top tier. The glazed donuts were not my personal favorites, but the maple donuts were my personal favorite. The boston creme was also filled to the brim and was truly delightful. My third favorite was the blueberry donut. Would not go back to the glaze donuts, dont think they compare to the king of glaze donuts at krispy kreme, but the fresh flavorful donuts are unmatched. The breakfast sandwiches took about 10 mins to come out and were slightly disappointing, which is why my review is 4 stars. It was just plain white bread with not much egg and cheese filling. The bread wasn't toasted much and was quite soft, and it did take some time to come out. Besides that, the donuts were great, would definitely come back for more.
Looking for a good donut spot. Found this little spot on Yelp. Donuts are good! Soft just wish was a bit more flavorful. Not a whole lot to choose from, but this is now my little go to donut shop!
The most amazing donuts I've ever had. So pillowy. Super yum! A must try. I highly recommend.
