Donut Factory

Great fresh donuts and breakfast! Staff is super friendly and will even give you fresh out of the oven donuts if you ask.

Without a doubt, the best donuts in Central Mississippi. Forget Shipley’s, Dunkin, Krispy, and all of the other big box chains. This place has it zeroed in. Fresh daily. The employees are nice and give you a warm, home town feeling.
Forget their morning biscuit products. They are mediocre at best.
If like quality, freshly made donuts, this is the place!

As far as I’m concerned, Donut Factory is a staple in Pearl, MS. Most of the people who live in Pearl are from there… born and raised. This donut shop is known by everyone. I’m not sure how long it’s been here, in the exact same location, but I’m 41 years old and I know it’s been there for as far back as my memory will allow me to go. I remember being my kindergarten class from McLauren Heights Baptist Church coming here for a field trip when I was only 5 years old. I can still remember them showing us how they made the donuts and getting to try them while they were hot and fresh. It’s odd, the things we remember, isn’t it? Anyway, that was when I was 5 and I know this donut shop was here even before that.
Basically, my entire life (and probably before that), the good folks here come in around 1am every morning and start making the donuts. They actually open their doors around 3am every morning and yes, being the nightowls we are, we have been there at 3am to get the donuts! =)
You don’t necessarily have to get there at 3am, but if you want these goodies, you’d better go early because they start selling out quick every morning. My favourite are the donut holes. Nom Nom Nom. If you want donut holes, you’d better get there really, really early. Usually long before 7am those things are gone!
In addition to their awesome donuts, they sell all types of biscuits (they’ve done this since I was a child too… I still remember eating their sausage biscuits with my daddy when I was a little girl). They have sausage patty biscuits, sausage link biscuits, ham biscuits, and others. The biscuits are homemade. I highly recommend you try one!
The prices here can’t be beat. It’s hard to believe there are still places where you can get great food without having your wallet raped. Speaking of money, they do take cards now, but there’s a minimum purchase of $ 5 to use your card.
The employees are all super great. You’re definitely gonna experience some of the warm southern charm while you’re here.
