Babe's Doughnut - Tuscaloosa

First time coming to this donut shop in Tuscaloosa! I got donut holes, Oreo donut, maple bacon donut, and a jalapeño kolache. All the donuts were amazing and my jalapeño kolache was so delicious! The person at the cashier could have smiled more but other than that I had a great experience and would come again!

I’ve always heard about how good Babe’s is, but I feel like COVID might have affected their business. The Honey Lavender tasted fine if anything, it was too bitter for my taste. For a donut shop, the smell inside the store bothered both me and the friend I came in with. It definitely didn’t smell like a Krispy Kreme…When we walked in, the two workers behind the counter didn’t acknowledge us. When the guy moved to the cash register, he said nothing to prompt my order. Though the coffee tasted fine, I’d say the price, size, and customer service made the experience not worth it.

OMG! We were in Tuscaloosa for business and Babe's was recommended to us. So glad we went. The doughnuts were delicious. They have great breakfast options on the menu. Try it...you'll be glad you did.

Not impressed, reading the reviews I was expecting more but we only received dry doughnuts and a chewy/tough croissant. We arrived at 8 am I would imagine everything would have been fresh. But instead everything tasted a couple days old.

I would like to say I had a stellar experience, but I didn't. I would also like to say that I would be back as a customer, but I can't. I came into the store January 29, 2023 and ordered two coffee's two doughnuts and two apple fritter for my wife and I. When I asked if the apple fritter could be heated the guy behind the counter said yes. When I came up to pay for the items he takes a brown sack out of the microwave sitting beside the cash register and throws it on the table and rings everything up. I pay and walk over to one of the tables in the building and open the sack up, there is the apple fritter and my doughnut which did have a hardened coat of chocolate and reeses cups when I ordered it, it is now melted all over the inside of the bag and my apple fritter. At that point I didn't eat the doughnut and threw it away. The fritter was sub par, could have gotten a better one at Publix. The coffee's were scalding hot and over filled to the point if you took the sip lid off any movement at all you were spilling it all over the place. Needless to say I wasn't impressed and the interaction with the staff led me to believe that they had much more important things and the customers were a burden to them.
