Status Dough Donuts & Coffee - Downtown Knoxville

A small donut shop on Gay St. in Knoxville. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had coffee that was not the best I ever had but drinkable. I did however have a vegan snickerdoodle donut that was really good. When I hear vegan I think tastes lousy but this was not the case. I'm not a vegetarian but am not opposed to anything that tastes good. It was a good donut. This place is a little expensive but worth a stop.

5 stars for our barista, Nick! He was so friendly and welcoming! The old fashioned buttermilk donuts are delicious too. The coffee is good, but it's not super sweet so if you like sweet coffee you might add some sugar on your own!

Due to food sensitivities, I am not able to try the doughnuts because they are fried in soybean oil, but they look delicious.

I tried an almond milk latte, and it was good! A nice treat to keep you warm walking around market square on a chilly morning. Employee was friendly and kind.

Having worked many years in the service industry, I'm not easily moved - but the hospitality I found here today was phenomenal. My barista, Michael, was friendly, authentic, knowledgeable. I'd probably sit in a park and discuss art with him, chill fellow. Anyway, he helped me decide on my coffee, ground the beans right on the spot, frothed the milk by hand, and poured a beautiful design on top of my lavender latte ☕️

I'm halfway through a 20-hour drive to my grandfather's funeral, have already been rear-ended on this trip, on top of a tumultuous past month overall - Michael's genuine positive engagement was exactly what I needed to power me through the next leg of my travels. Thank you!

I love the coffee old fashion donuts! The staff was very helpful and the store has a great vibe. The donuts are a little more expensive than most, but they taste so good!

Great spot with really good coffee and tasty pastries.

Other than finding a hair in my buttermilk old fashioned doughnut the craftsmanship is there.

Loved this place! We ordered the chocolate iced, lemon poppy seed, and coffee cake donuts as well as an espresso and decaf latte. All were delicious.

Nice man at the counter. The apple fritter melted in my mouth, plenty of apple chunks. Go there!

That was my review three years ago and I still remember how good that apple fritter was. I'm back in Knoxville and I'm headed back to Status Dough!

The donuts were good and fresh. The coffee was decent. The donut selection was not too big and they aren’t very decorative donuts but they tasted good. We would come here again.
