Helpful staff, fresh coffee and espresso, and giant donuts! The assortment is amazing! Yeast, cake, old fashion, even filled and fritters!! The many varied flavors offer something for every palette! Overall, a cozy little joint perfect for a midday pick-me-up or a friendly morning get together.

A delightful spot for a coffee and a yummy chocolate covered old fashioned doughnut. I had an iced coffee and also a chai tea latte. Milk options include almond and oatmeal.Service is amazing! I love Luna’s fun personality. He’s very engaging with each customer and so good at running the place on his own. He made me and my friend feel feel like guests at his home. Would love to return!Note: Ask about their coffee rewards program! 😊

People support local. You wont be disappointed. Best donuts and coffee in town. The decor is little hideous but the food products are awesome. The coffee cups can be better and can add coffee stoppers to that list too.

The coffee and donuts are good, it’s nice to have something different than cake donuts. They also have vegan options which is helpful. The fellow who was working when we came in just now was so polite, helpful and welcoming. I’d go back just because of the excellent customer service.

Be shure to use Google maps to find it. So small you can easily pass it by. Food ok but you can do better an cheaper elsewhere. 😐

I do a lot of traveling for work, and I always try the local donut places this may be the best Ive ever had. The donuts here are not too sweet in fact not too much of anything. Every other donut Ive ever had has had too much of something whether its toppings, sugar, or bread. These are also by far the best old fashioned type donuts ive ever had, tangy and sweet perfect with coffee which is another thing they do well here, not the best cup ever, but much better than the standard donut shop fair. If I am ever in Knoxville again you can count on my return thank you so much status dough.

11.30.2019 - Nice donut shop off Kingston Pike. Came in for a hot chocolate - $3. Didn’t try the donuts but they were larger than normal Krispy Kreme donuts so that’s exciting. Nice place to come and socialize or catch up with friends. Would definitely come back.

Delicious doughnuts! A little pricy but they’re big and fresh doughnuts, so it’s definitely worth it. I love the raspberry glazed and the original cake doughnuts. Tea options are also yummy!

Review №32

Crazy. Good. Doughnuts. Some things you should know: doughnuts are made fresh in small batches. Apple fritters are usually the last to go out, so it may be 7:30 am or so before everythings up. Selection changes daily. Hours are set, but they do SELL OUT and CLOSE EARLY if that happens. $21 per dozen, so this isnt an everyday stop, but the quality and taste are so worth it. Check their social accounts for flavors and daily details. Super friendly staff and easy to get to location.

Review №38

Nice buttermilk donut. Not common in the northeast. Looked and tasted homemade. The chocolate frosting was a little sweet for my taste, but it’s a donut so I’m not gonna make much out of that. My only actual gripe wasn’t about the donut itself but the lack of information about nutritional content. I usually like to know the calorie count of my desserts and since there are 3 kinds of donuts here, I asked which would be the least fattening and the staff couldn’t answer that. I’d have appreciated some information about the food I was eating like we see in most shops these days. Something to consider.

So happy Ive found Status Dough, everything has been so scrumptious! The flavoring is top notch. The snickerdoodle is so cakey + fluffy and the sugary outside is just right. They even have the classics at their best from the powdered to the old fashion, these donuts have all of the great things that make donuts so craveable. Perfect recipes, as these donuts even pass the remain fresh and just as good on the next day test. Icings are not overly sweet, the donuts have firm outsides and soft insides, the filling is ample and the donuts even have the right amount of crumble.Also, the staff is welcoming, patient, and informative. The space is quaint, clean and easily accessed. A new favorite has been found. A new goal of mine is to try everything at least once and not gain any weight in the process. Fingers crossed as I have yet to walk out with less than half a dozen donuts... Please hurry in, so I wont eat everything.

I was excited to try these donuts but when I walked into the store it smelled like the fryer oil needed to be changed. The donuts look beautiful but they have a taste of old fryer oil.

Review №55

Fantastic doughnuts! Went in to try it out on a Saturday morning. Doughnuts are huge and the selection great. Got a dozen (in retrospect, given the size of the doughnuts this was overkill). Coffee was great as well. Loved the Apple fritter, probably the best Ive had. Wife loved the honey glazed. Kinda glad theyre on the other side of town from me or Id be broke and weigh a thousand pounds....

Our first visit was nothing short of exceptional. Upon entering, we were greeted with an aesthetically pleasing interior, a clear menu, and a beautiful display of donuts. Sometimes, with so many yummy options, it can be hard to know what to choose, so I enjoyed the idea of a suggestion board that showed which drinks and donuts might go well together. Nick ordered the maple bacon donut, to which he spent no time finishing, and I got the strawberry cake donut

I had to do a series of interviews while I was in Knoxville and chose to have them at Status Dough. I could not have picked a better place to spend two days. The staff is beyond friendly and were extremely hospitable. The coffee is fantastic. But what we really really need to be discussing here is this apple fritter. I have eaten apple fritters from apple orchards to original doughnut houses throughout the country and this place had the best I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and stop in!!!! Chef approved

Review №67

Stopped in this morning for a cup of coffee, and you know, probably a donut! My wife got a honey latte which she enjoyed along with a plain yeast donut. Both of which were good. Normally I would also get a yeast donut, but they had a nice looking cinnamon roll so I thought Id get that with a pumpkin spice chai. Sadly, they were out of the pumpkin spice for the chai so I just settled for a regular chai. Cinnamon roll was good, chai was just a concentrate mix from a cardboard jug. Not a lot of flavor. Id probably stick with a coffee in the future.

I stopped here on a road trip heading up towards the Northeast. What an adorable and relaxed place. The buttermilk old fashioned donut was one of the best I’ve ever had, it wasn’t too sweet and tasted so fresh. The iced coffee was delicious and I adored their patio seating too. Run, don’t walk, here! 😄😛🍩☕️

Review №75

I did a donut crawl and hit up Status Dough, Donut Distillery and East Park donuts and coffee. Status Dough wins on two accounts: punniest name and best old-fashioned donut.I love me some old-fashioned donuts. One thing that makes me sad is that most old-fashions are smaller than other donuts. The ones at Status Dough are not. The arent giant, but they are big. Enough to feel like a donut and coffee is a meal rather than a pre-breakfast snack.I tried the coffee flavored old-fashioned donut. It was very good, but I wouldnt have known it was coffee flavored (but definitely not a buttermilk!). It paired well with my maple latte well.This place has space for groups sized 2-6 and plenty of parking. The staff are helpful and friendly.

Review №76

Did not make the status cut. This is by far not the best donut place to get donuts. A half dozen should not cost 13 bucks. Yes the glaze and old fashion donuts are larger than normal; however, where size comes in taste leaves. The larger rise donut were dry and the old fashion was lacking flavor. The chocolate glaze tasted liked warmed up grocery store canned chocolate icing. The maple bacon had more bacon fat than bacon and the maple frosting overpowered everything. Friendly staff, but very loud inside the store. Also staff was great they put sprinkles on daughters donut. Just not a lot of quality was put into the making of the donut. Need to not make the batch in the morning and expect quality in afternoon. Try doing a morning batch and then a small afternoon one. Can get a better donut at duck donuts down the street.

These donuts do taste like vegetable oil. When you walk in the shop there is a strong smell of it. They are not uneatable, just have that strong flavor. I got a half dozen and they cost me 13 dollars... would rather get donuts at a gas station especially for the price and taste

Status Dough elevates donuts to a whole new level. We were blown away when we took our first bite of their Old Fashioned Donuts - they were out of this world! The dough was so rich and delicious. And their specialty donuts were huge. Wed never seen such a unique variety of donuts - Maple w/Bacon, etc.

Their coffee and donuts are great. I particularly like the honey glazed yeast donut. Their chocolate glazed ones are a bit too bitter for my taste. The coffee is quite good too. Better than the chains.

Review №85

I love the atmosphere and donuts here. Very modern and simplistic decor. I am a huge fan of old fashion donuts but when I moved here in 2009, couldn’t find them anywhere! Status dough has amazing old fashion donuts, and cool specialty donuts. My only two complaints are that their frosting and glazes are VERY sweet, to the point it is too much and they are skimpy with the bacon on the maple bacon. Other than those two thing this place is great!

Best doughnuts in town!! They are always fresh and cooked to perfection. You won’t find a tastier selection anywhere. Their lattes, hot chocolate and lemonade are also out of this world. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and a wonderful military discount for those who serve.

Fantastic donuts, lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff. I wish they were more prevalent around here because they beat Duck Donuts by a long shot, and Duck is incredibly overrated. You can see the love the people at Status put into their product. Theyve earned your business, give them a shot.

The first time I have ever tasted Status Dough, was at Office max business appreciation day.There were at least 6 to 7 big boxes of Status Dough, and inside each box were a dozen gourmet custom donuts.The Status Dough donuts was so huge, I needed two hands just to pick up one.And once I tasted one Status Dough dessert, I wanted to try them all.Status Dough Donuts was the best fresh gourmet dough I have ever enjoyed as amazing dessert treat

They make the chocolate for their donuts in house. It is a complex dark chocolate ganache that beautifully compliments the sweet dough of the donuts. Their apple fritter had the perfect amount of apple and spices without being overwhelming. They provide a variety of donuts sure to fit any craving.

Review №95

I’ve been meaning to check out Status Dough ever since I heard they added vegan doughnuts last year. They also have oat milk which is my favorite! If you don’t like oat they also carry almond and coconut milk. I called ahead to do a curbside order. They had both glazed and snickerdoodle vegan doughnuts in stock so we got one of each. I was able to pay over the phone and my order was brought to my car shortly after we arrived. The store is currently only open for curbside pick up. The person that came to my car was wearing a mask and gloves which was greatly appreciated. The doughnuts were perfect. The taste and texture were just like non-vegan doughnuts. While both were delicious, the glazed was definitely our favorite. Thank you, Status Dough, for having vegan options and for taking extra precautions to keep staff and guests safe!! We will definitely be back!
