First time here, was impressed with the decor. They have counter sitting which is a plus. Really like the fresh made to order donuts. Tried their medium roast. Room temperature, so they 3 out of 5 for me.

The iced coffee was great! The donuts flavor is good but a bit too cakey for my taste.

Finally got in here after trying a couple times over the holidays and them being closed. Took a little bit to get service and then our donuts, but they were making them fresh in front of us so no problems there. Tons of delicious coffee options to go along with whatever donuts you want. I got a vanilla donut topped with marshmallow creme, striped with caramel and vanilla: very sweet! My favorite was the vanilla donut topped with icing, like the kind you have in a cinnamon roll, that played really well with the chunks of maple bacon on top.

Donuts are amazing with great variety. Coffee is good with a large selection of flavors. However the draw is the food and enjoyable atmosphere more so than the brews. The staff is very helpful and they get things out in a quick manner. One of the best coffee shops in columbia :)

I heard so many good reviews about this place on social media that I had to put it on my list to try! I like how you get the family feeling, very family oriented. The only downside about this place is how far it is from me. Overall, great food and service! You have to go up and order, seat yourself and the food will come out to you. Their portions are HUGE so I would recommend going when you are very hungry.

My sister and I traveled an hour and thirty minutes!Let me just say! We got a dozen donuts (their most popular) and we were in love! They make them infront of you and the place is actually clean and has a nice aesthetic! The lady that took my order was beyond nice and made me feel welcomed, but y’all these donuts are life and I think this is my new spot I don’t care how far! I promise it’s worth every penny!

Doughnuts were amazing. The coffee was lukewarm and terrible. We actually threw the coffee away.

I really enjoyed what I got here. I got a vanilla latte and a single lemon coconut donut: coffee was really delicious, definitely one of my favorite lattes; and the donut was amazing. I appreciated that they make your donuts to order-that ensures they are always hot. However, it did take a very long time to (1) advance through the line to order and (2) receive what I ordered because there was only one person working. And of course making the donuts one by one to order slows things down.

The donuts look incredible. The menu appears inviting. The staff are misguided uniformed violaters of federal law. Upon entering I was asked to leave. No dogs allowed. I have an incomparably well-mannered yellow lab who provides care for me under ADA Service Animal law while being clearly identified by a vest. Despite my efforts to educate the employee who was adamant upon my leaving, he continued to falsely cite health code prohibiting pets from food preparation areas. Alas, I will never experience the wonder if Zombie donuts. Perhaps they will become better educated.

The doughnuts were awesome, but the coffee sucked. It tasted burnt. Not sure if it was a lousy roast or just poorly made.

The donut options are just vast enough to make the experience unique without there being an overwhelming selection. The service was prompt and courteous. The iced coffee is skipable, as are most of their drinks, but are you really here for a drink other than milk to compliment your donut?

Review №17

Staff was very nice in explaining everything since this was my first time visiting. I was interested in purchasing a dozen, but the fryers had already been shut down for the day at 6:30. I was confused because the hours on here say 8pm. I was able to get a half dozen of the most favorite iced in front of me, but not fresh. I’d be willing to return and try again during active hours, I think I’d enjoy creating my own donut!

The doughnuts are very delicious but they are inconsistent in regards to business hours. Online says open then you show up and theyre closed. This has happened to me twice. Cant have a successful business if youre always closed.....Thanks for the response but the hours online were also posted on the door. So theres still a communication disconnect someplace.

Been wanting to try these donuts for sometime now. I got a half dozen of under cooked donuts. I drove 10 miles, passed a Krispy Kreme with a hot now sign on only to be disappointed. This is a great idea and can work, in a great location but I dont think it will.

Ive been here 3 times. Each time its something different. The first time they told me I couldnt get mini donuts (even though it was on the sign), so I just got coffee. A few weeks ago they had a sign on the door, saying theyd return in 30 mins, no indication of when they left. Today I called ahead to make an order because I knew they would be closing early. I was placed on hold, but he never came back. Thinking it would be easier to just run up there, I did, and was told they had no donuts because they were closing. I returned because this place is in walking distance of my office. Never again, next time Ill just drive elsewhere!

I walk in at 8:15 looking to order a dozen donuts and the employee says the batter is not ready for another half an hour. If you open up at 8, please have donuts available at 8. The frozen coffee was just okay.

Review №25

They really need to spend the three minutes it takes to update their business hours on their Google listing so potential customers like myself wont waste my time driving across town only to find them closed. Its just common decency to advertise the correct hours. Dont know if Ill try to make it back over to their store again or not.

Great spot for grabbing a coffee and studying for a few hours. Donuts are great and iced coffee was good. Will definitely be stopping back.

Best coffee in Columbia but there was only one person working, she was really busy and so not one of our dozen custom donuts were right. They were tasty, they were pretty, but not the way we ordered them

I had the best doughnut I have ever eaten here. I cant for the life of me remember which one it was, but it tasted like Honey nut Cheerios.

I found Zombie when looking for a quick place to get doughnuts. But wow! I wasnt expecting such a fantastic shop! Service was fast and friendly, doughnuts are actually made to order (Id never seen this before) so you can design your own, and prices are great! If I lived in town, this would be my new go-to place. I highly recommend it.

A nice place for doughnuts and coffee. A large coffee costs around 2.50. It is also by the Colonial Life Arena and several other restaurants. It has a nice outside patio and free WiFi is offered with the password posted in front of the cash register.

The idea of made to order doughnuts is really cool. My only complaint is I think the doughnuts I ordered should have been cooked a little longer.The coffee is good. I got the medium roast. The place is on the college campus and caters to that crowd. Very nice and hip. Our server was very friendly and helpful. She explained to us how there establishment works. You basically pick your coating and then topping. Coatings include glaze, chocolate, vanilla and toppings include bacon, Oreo crumble, coconut and more. Then they cook it on the spot, so there is a little wait but not long if you are only getting a few. The doughnuts are $2 a piece, and you can get all the coatings and all the toppings on one doughnuts for that price, if you are brave enough for such a thing. I am traveling but wouldnt mind going back sometime.
