Country Style Donuts is a Richmond donut shop that does all your traditional donuts. This is a good combo to do with Dixie Donuts because you can get good variation between the two and you can buy a giant cinnamon roll here if you so desire.
24 hours too! Nice touch for the RVA.
I had a raised maple donut and I was shocked by the sweetness. You are hearing from a guy who can down sugar with the best of them. It was actually too sweet. Me, done in by sweetness! Even with a black coffee alongside, I couldn't handle it. It was a rare defeat.
I enjoyed the donut holes but was a little bummed out they must be purchased in a certain denomination. I forget what it was, something like 10 or 12 at a time. Prices were fine but I'll pay a dime or whatever per hole just as someone on a donut journey, sometimes I don't want to have leftovers.
In fact, service wasn't so hot. Between the donut hole explanation, the displeasure on his part that I didn't have anything smaller than a $20 bill, and the delivery that came in through the front door, pallets being loaded through the place while we're trying to get out of the way, it definitely ranks as the lowest customer service experience I've had in my donut journey.
I will definitely go back to Country Style again to see if it works better for me next time.

Yes! I now have a great go-to donut place when I'm back in Richmond, Virginia and my Dad might be back there all the time. Dixie Donuts is right in Carytown and a perfect donut option with nice sized cake donuts. It is really cool they've gone with one size, not too big, not too small. And most of them are a buck a piece which makes the spending easy.
I had an Oreo donut and Dad had a Samoa donut so these were both based on cookies and the Samoan did taste like the Girl Scout cookie of the same name. I took home a Chocolate Gingerbread Spice and ate the next day and it was another great choice and still soft and tasty. We were both extremely pleased.
Check out the Facebook page too, great donut photos, way better than mine!!!
Great coffee too, a plus one compared to most donut shop coffee. They have their own little parking lot which is helpful. I see that addition of a small seating area will help this place and greatly assist with all the Carytown shoppers who need to sit down during a quick donut fix.
