Makers gonna make, make, make, make, make… revelatory donuts in really small batches. So small, in fact, that Makers Donuts in Knoxville, TN, often sells out of flavors like Matcha Green Tea Smoothie, Root Beer Float, Funnel Cake, Churro, and Blueberry Bourbon well before its 1 p.m. closing time. And don’t even bother going on a Saturday; these guys are so popular, they’ve been known to clean out by 8 a.m. If you’re planning on buying a half dozen or dozen for your officemates (aren’t you a team player!), pre-order online for next-day pickup. Also, pro tip: Don’t bother with the coffee here. Ask for your donuts to go and head next door to Remedy, where the seating is plentiful, the Intelligentsia drips ever so slowly, and frothy cold brew is always on tap.
