Red Donut Shop

I just moved to Lexington NC. I was looking up things to do and places to visit, food wise and Red Donuts came up. I love the aesthetic of this town and Red Donuts has to be one of the staples because their donuts are amazingly delicious 😋🤤 hands down. I never want another donut if it doesn't come from Red. I believe another location in NC opened up but I'm not sure of the location. Anyway, if you're passing through Lexington and want donuts. Definitely visit Red Donuts.

Lovely local shop of delicious doughnuts. They have a nice twist in that they will fill the doughnut with your choice of filling...custard, vanilla, raspberry and lemon. Custard was my choice and simply yummy. You can't leave without getting an apple or blueberry fritter. There are small chunks of apple which is a lovely change from other fritters I've eaten.

Staff was friendly. There are a few tables. Sitting next to the big windows is a must.

Stop in. You will enjoy it!

First and foremost I am so proud of my classmate from ECPI College Saro for the success he has had with opening and maintaining the only donut shop in Lexington "Red donut." I have traveled the distance as well as my daughter to get some of the best donuts in NC. I highly recommend you go and check this shop out. My favorite donuts are listed below
- Red Velvet
- Blueberry
- Regular glazed
- Twists
- Maple
- Lemon
- The Cake donuts
- Long Johns

My daughter loves the maple bacon and bear claws. My mother loves the bear claws and fritters. Everyone has there favorite. Hands down the Red Velvet is one of the best donuts and the first red velvet donut I have ever tried. Red donut supports their local community, they give, donate, serve, and the customer service is top-notch. Saro, is one great businessman. We have come along way from our ECPI days and I wish you and your family nothing but the best in your future endeavors.

Store is in a great location on North Main Street across the street from the Lexington Police Department and is within walking distance from several restaurants. Parking is parallel on both sides of Main Street and nearby side streets. Took my wife and two grandsons there after eating lunch for fresh doughnuts, we got a dozen of a wide variety of doughnuts to eat there and to take home. Grandsons loved the red velvet doughnuts, bear claws and watch the friendly ladies filling the stuffed doughnuts with jelly. They can't wait to go back.

Boba tea was really good, I had a chai with honey dew melon, and the donuts were definitely awesome!

Stopped into RED Donut Shop at the corner of E. Second St and Main in Lexington NC. Donuts in and of themselves are good, but Red Donut has a very light and tasty. They fill the donuts on the spot. The cake donuts are soft and moist and the cinnamon rolls have a nice airy-ness to them. I highly recommend make this a quick stop if you are passing thru the area.

Honest review here. Went in on a whim for a quick snack with the kiddos. This donut shop is conveniently located directly across the street from Lexington Police Department… so there’s that. They offer everything from the standard hot glazed to some of the beat fritters I have ever tasted anywhere, period! We were so impressed with the selection we went home with 3 dozen donuts that we may never be able to eat our way through the end of. Every donut we sampled was amazing. The choose your own filling donuts were super cool. Strawberry vanilla, raspberry lemon, the list goes on and on. They also support their vets and do offer a military discount. I highly recommend the polite fun loving team Red’s has. Go see em. Tell them Chief sent ya! You won’t regret it.

Oh my goodness this donut shop is worth the hype! They sell some cake or old fashioned-style donuts, but their specialty is the yeast donuts. They sell some yeast donuts with glaze or frosting, but I personally think their stand out is the jelly donuts! You can select a powdered sugar donut or glazed donut, and pick raspberry, strawberry, lemon, custard, chocolate, or vanilla jams or creams to fill the donut while you watch. They are so good and fresh. Their apple fritter was also absolutely incredible. They are so good, and worth the drive from Winston Salem for the donuts alone!

I have never had a bad experience here, nor have I ever had bad service. Friendly.

Quaint little donut shop in Lexington, NC. On-street parking. Wheelchair accessible. Lots of seating options. Clean. Public bathroom. Bathroom is wheelchair accessible. The toilet paper dispenser is a little out of reach - be prepared to lean. Prices are comparable. Pick any donut, then... pick your filling. They fill them on the spot. Delicious food, friendly staff. Fun for the whole family. They also serve coffee and have a cooler with misc. drink options. #reddonutshop

A fantastic donut shop on the corner of downtown Lexington North Carolina. You can find yeast style 🍩 donuts, tiger tails, donut holes, bear claws, 🍎 apple fritters, and plenty of seasonal donut flavors to keep you coming back year round. They also have fun boba, 🍵 teas, and ☕ coffees to go alongside your dessert. This location is also ♿ handicap accessible with limited indoor seating and 🚻 restroom.

I love going to your location on 109 in Winston! Riley is so sweet and such a great representative for your business. I try to let as many people know about both your locations!❤

These are amazing donuts! I'm moving to Lexington from Raleigh and am so happy to find a great place like this

Had the most delicious Cherry fritter and old fashioned donut I've ever eaten! You can pick a donut and then pick the filling you want. And they're not skimpy with the filling. Order at the counter.

I couldn’t decide which donuts I wanted so the girl behind the counter pick for me! Did not disappoint!! Great selection and friendly staff!

Went in and purchased three assortment boxes for my co-workers. Was pleasantly surprised with the variety. Pricing was reasonable, quality was great, and the young lady behind the counter was awesome.

Immaculately clean with great cheerful customer service. Was over in Lexington and decided to finally go in after hearing and reading the great reviews. THEY ARE JUSTIFIED AND CONFIRMED. I told the lady at counter that I had never been in before and a customer that had just been served said "you are in for a treat". So I asked her for a recommendation and without hesitation she said the blueberry fritter. I love fritters but I would never have ordered blueberry [I'm an apple guy]. But I followed her recommend and got the blueberry one and a glazed cake. Oh my! The lady was right. They are fantastic. Many times you cant taste the fruit in said fritter but these blueberries were the star of the show. The glazed cake was awesome as well. Cake donuts tend to bed heavy and sometimes greasy but not here! Might have been the lightest cake donut I have ever tasted. The glaze was perfect and not overly sweet. It's a cool funky spot nicely decorated. We have some good donut places around here but this place is right at top.

Update: Popped in and picked up a couple donuts. I did not realize they filled their Long John's (they call them Bismarcks I believe). They also fill twists! I went with filled twist with vanilla creme and it was the best creme I have ever had!!

Typically we go to Asheville, NC where some locations are supposedly the best donuts in the state. Never been impressed with Asheville Donuts. Yesterday was our first stop at Reds and there will be more. Great Donuts! Friendly staff! Probably my 2nd favorite donut in NC.

Excellent selection of donuts, you can get different flavors of filling like raspberry, custard, lemon and vanilla creme.

Delicius with a great assortment. Just be prapared to pay more of a premium compared to a grocery store but if you can afford it, it's worth it.
