The name says it all for The Heavenly Donut Co. Their fresh, melt-in-your mouth donuts are made my hand every day and truly are divine treats. It’s no wonder this donut shop has garnered both local and national attention for their iced desserts.

With dozens of flavors to sweeten your palette, you really can’t go wrong with any of them. Flavors include Oreo, M&M, coconut, caramel, chocolate-covered Bismark, vanilla and chocolate with sprinkles, key lime, cookie butter, and regular glazed. They also have cake donuts like blueberry and red velvet, along with apple fritters, beignets, cinnamon rolls, cinnamon twists, and donut holes.

The top flavors in my household include strawberry (one of the best donuts I’ve ever eaten), French toast, Reese’s cup, Nutella and anything with sprinkles. You can also request custom orders so the assortment perfectly matches your next event or special occasion. They have seasonal and holiday donuts, like ones decorated like hearts, unicorns, bunnies, flowers, Christmas trees, and much more.

Some items are only available on specific days and times, and they sell out quite often. So, get there early to make sure you find your favorite flavors, not that you can go wrong with any of them.

To wash down these fluffy creations, they offer specialty drinks like cappuccino, apple cider, chai latte, white chocolate mocha, peppermint mocha, turtle deluxe, mocha, and hot cocoa — in addition to milk, juice, O’Henry’s coffee, and cold brew.

Not only has Heavenly Donut caught the attention of locals across Birmingham, but they also had a visit from Food Network star Alton Brown — from “Good Eats” — for his “Eat Your Science Tour” in 2017.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect breakfast dish or a dessert to enjoy during the day, you’re sure to find donuts that will keep you coming back again and again. They have an indoor area and drive-through, which are open 24 hours a day Wednesday through Saturday. They’re closed on Mondays, open 4 a.m. to midnight Tuesdays, and from midnight to 2 p.m. Sundays. Before the pandemic, they also hosted regular trivia nights.

Since opening the shop in 2013, Heavenly Donut now also has a food truck that can be found delivering their sweet treats all around town. To see where their truck is headed next, check out their Facebook page for the weekly schedule.

The Heavenly Donut shop is located at 4911 Cahaba River Road, Suite 105, in Birmingham. For more information on this tasty donut shop, visit Theheavenlydonutco.com.
