Seriously the best breakfast sandwich I've ever far, hands down!! We also got some baked goods for the house. All things delightful!

Simple yet delicious brunch Order at the counter and grab a table. Don't be intimidated by the crowd - there is high turnover. Their brunch items are simple but well done. I especially liked the avo toast and their Asiago bagel. Don't sleep on their donuts - they are fresh and handmade

Fresh, farm-grown food where the taste truly reflects the quality. I got the avocado toast which was served on delicious focaccia bread. The maple sriracha home fries were my favorite and the espresso chocolate bar was decadent. Great breakfast spot.

Cool Durham Establishment that seems rather hip and trendy if you want donuts & coffee. Now the menu for donuts isn't super extensive or should you expect your typical strip mall donut shop. They have a limited pasty selection but you should find what you're looking for. They make coffee per order and it was a decent cup of joe. Service was fast and friendly. The place has ample seating inside with some outdoor seating that's not just bunched together, someone obviously put some thought into how the seating outdoors would look. Cool place, I'd come back.

Monuts is one of my favorite breakfast spots in downtown Durham. They are normally packed if you go on a weekend but you can still expect quick service! They also have ample seating, so you can enjoy your meal or take it to go. While they are known for their donuts (the flavors rotate) they also have a full breakfast menu and coffee selection. Everything that I've gotten from monuts has always been great!

Always a fan of the people, the food, and the homey indoor/outdoor seating. I love coming back to try all of their seasonal donut flavors. The new chocolate mummy and pumpkin spice donuts did not disappoint!

Amazing donuts -- crispy on the outside, fluffy and tasty on the inside, and always some new interesting flavor. We like the cinnamon buns too! And when you get a dozen donuts (or pastries and donuts combined), there is a discount. This time round we had apple cider donuts (standard and good), cranberry earl-grey donuts (one of the day's specials), and ginger hibiscus donut (another special). They were all good! We also had raspberry jam scones - delightful texture on the outside, full of jam on the inside - good, but very sweet, and not really a scone. More of a jam tart. And of course, we got a couple of the cinnamon buns -- they have a lot of sugar on them, but they're delicious. But what makes Monuts exceptional is really the donuts - both the unusual flavors (which are always changing) and the texture (crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside). It's clear that they really work hard at this, and the results are exceptional. I think they open at 7:00 am, and often there's a line at that hour. Come by at midday, and they may be out of almost everything. You'll see in the pictures I posted that it's dark out (as in not yet light) -- we got there early to get a good selection.

The Turkish Egg and Avocado was well-seasoned and flavorful. The sandwich came out warm and the focaccia was crispy on the outside. The seasoning complimented the combination of kale, eggs, and avocado. Rating 5/5 I had the cider donut which was okay. Not the best I've had. Probably would have been better if it was served warm. Rating 4/5 Service was fast and efficient. Staff was nice. The atmosphere is casual. There were lots of seating but most were taken when I went around 10am on a Saturday.
