Black Mountain Doughnut Factory

Was up early and had some projects to do but saw the donut shop was open and decided to drop in. Was absolutely happy with this decision after the first bite. I went with half a dozen so I could later share and each flavor was delicious. Highly recommend the Smoked Maple and Strawberry Hibiscus as those were also the group favorites. Bravo!!!!

The owners and staff here are fantastic! They always make you feel welcome. And the doughnuts are the best I've had in the Asheville area. The smoked maple one is my personal favorite. So addictive.

When you walk to a donut shot and arrive at 9:30 am on a Sunday morning you would expect they actually have donuts to sell. Who runs out of donuts an hour and a half after opening on Sunday? Arguably the busiest donut day of the week. Long walk, big disappointment.

Donut (haha get it...do not) know how Facebook or Instagram triangulated this recommendation...maybe it's the Warren Wilson connection...but glad I found it on my journeys today! Glad they were sold out...sample everything that was left and 3 donuts in, I am not disappointed. Friendly service, bigger than anything you are going to get from a Dunkin or Duck. Apparently the greater Asheville area is the epicenter of competitive donut supremacy here in the United States. Still not a Yum-Yums (if you are from the Philly burbs you know what I'm talking about), but this was a great find and definitely a place I've recommended after only one visit! So far...strawberry hibiscus...OMG I'm kicking myself for not getting two!

Lemon doughnut was a religious experience. So fresh and not at all artificial favor. I think the owner was working and it was nice talking to him!
