There are hidden gems, and then there’s Hole Doughnuts — Asheville’s beloved hole‑in‑the‑wall doughnut shop that packs huge flavor into a small spot. We stopped by recently and grabbed a couple of delicious bites, and once again, it reminded us why locals and visitors alike keep coming back for more.
The Doughnut HOLE in the Wall — A Sweet Gem in West Asheville
At Hole, each doughnut is made from scratch, hand‑shaped, and cooked to order right in front of you — no pre‑made pastries here. Warm, fresh dough hits the fryer, then gets glazed and handed over with a smile. That fresh‑out‑of‑the‑fryer experience is part of the magic. Their space may be small, but the taste and craft are anything but.
This West Asheville gem has earned acclaim far beyond our community — ranked No. 2 in the U.S. on Yelp’s list of best doughnut shops, a huge nod for a local favorite that keeps fans lining up for its airy, crispy‑outside, fluffy‑inside treats.
Here’s what people are saying:
⭐️ “The donut itself was warm and extremely delicious. Employees work hard and the experience is delightful.” — Local review praising their fresh, warm doughnuts.
⭐️ “They’re the best! Hole Doughnuts makes an unforgettable treat, and the staff is sweet with a great vibe.” — Asheville fan raves about both flavor and service.
With only a few core doughnut styles and the occasional special creation, Hole proves that quality beats quantity. Every bite is a reminder that great things really do come in small packages — especially when you’re watching them being made step by step right before your eyes.
We always have a great time at this spot, and if you haven’t already stopped in, make it a priority on your next Asheville food adventure.
