Scream’n Nut’s Donuts: Are they worth the hype?

Drew Maddox, Editor In Chief

Scream’n Nuts is a fairly new donut shop located in Alpharetta. Recently, their uniquely flavored donuts have become popular all over social media, and I finally got the chance to try some due to them selling out fast. I wanted to test out this restaurant to see what the hype was about, and I’m pleased to say my visit didn’t disappoint. 

My order at Scream’n Nuts consisted of three donuts, the Cookie Monster, Fruity Pebbles, and Thin Mint. All of these flavors were very flavorful and different from any other donuts I have tried. My favorite out of the bunch was the Fruity Pebbles donut simply because I prefer the fruity desserts over chocolate ones, but it also had the lightest flavor. The frostings on the Cookie Monster and Thin Mint donuts were a bit too heavy and sweet for me but the flavors and presentation were unbelievable.

Scream’n Nuts also serves ice cream and coffee along with their donuts. I am obsessed with coffee, so when the caramel cinnamon latte appeared on their menu I couldn’t resist. This iced coffee was by far my favorite thing from Scream’n Nuts. The flavors were balanced and it was such a great sweet treat to go along with my donuts. I think that people should hype up their coffee along with the donuts because it was my favorite part! 

Overall, I do think Scream’n Nuts is worth the hype, you definitely should check it out next time you’re in the Alpharetta area. Along with the popular donuts, you should try their coffee as well to add to the flavorful experience.
