| - The Mrs. and I decided to stop in at this new Donut shop this morning.
Your Mom's Donuts is in the old Carbones Pizza and Wings Tavern location on Monroe Rd. The first thing you notice when you enter the shop is how large the place is then you see the large chalkboard behind the counter. Once inside we met the co-owners Benjamin and Courtney.
Benjamin greeted us and told us about their flavors of the week (all of which are posted on their website). I get the feeling Benjamin likes to talk. I mean that in a good way, honestly. Both were very engaging and seemed incredibly nice. The business started as a donut delivery service and opened their first storefront early this Summer.
Enough about the owners, you are here for a donut review right? Well, the donuts are delicious, which may be an understatement, but it is the plain truth.
They offer six different flavors which change weekly. We tried four of the six varieties. They were all quite good. I won't review the flavors because they will change weekly. The donuts are made from a brioche dough which is quite rich and melts in your mouth. Start with one at a time they will fill you up quickly. All of the donuts are made from mostly local products (flour, eggs, fruits, etc.)
The coffee is also quite good and from a local Charlotte roaster. We had the medium roast that he ground and brewed for us while we waited. The roast was quite pleasant. Not burnt like so many other coffee houses.
I admire their commitment to local merchants, growers, and suppliers. They have a delicious product that fills the gourmet donut niche in Charlotte/Matthews.
Lastly, the irony is that these are NOT your Mom's donuts!
