I haven't been to the shop so can't comment on the service or venue. I just attended an event (the Franklin All Nighter) for which Early Bird provided glazed doughnuts, though, and the doughnuts were so good that I had to jump on here to bookmark the spot and leave a review. I only tried the glazed, but the doughnut was perfectly sweet, and I loved the texture: fluffy in an unexpected but delicious way. I'll definitely be going here for my Durham doughnut fix going forward!

Doughnuts were excellent and extremely fluffy. I wish that I had been able to eat more. I love having the option to choose what type of doughnut to fill with whatever choice of filling I wanted. I can't wait to go back!

Ordered a chocolate with sprinkles and 6 glazed donut holes. Not blown away but they weren’t bad, I’ve had better donuts elsewhere, but I would come here again to try a biscuit.

Must say was very impressed with the high-quality, and how delicious each of the pastries were! Additionally, I have tried their biscuit/ croissant breakfast sandwiches that are always delicious and fresh.

The name fits as you need to be here before 9AM to get fresh pastries before they sell out! Even when they sell out of doughnuts, you can still get an amazing breakfast sandwich. I love their Vietnamese iced coffees and apple fritters. Highly recommend, if you are in the area and an early bird!

Amazing donuts, delicious breakfast sandwiches, friendly and helpful employees. However the past 5 Saturdays I visited, the owner was playing the exact same “The Beatles Greatest Hits” album on loop and I feel like that may be creating minor-ly inhumane working conditions for the employees.

Donuts are always delicious. We love that you can pick the filling for your donuts. Breakfast sandwiches are great as well. Simple but very tasty. Vietnamese coffee is always a nice change from the usual drip or ice coffees at other shops. Highly recommend. Also, the specialty donuts for Christmas were an extra special delight.
