Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe is delicious! We ordered three doughnuts (donuts) - one was Lavender, one was Chocolate Frosting and I forgot the third one. However the doughnuts and cappuccino were delicious! The barista even accommodated my change in hot drinks. I had ordered a regular with coffee with oat milk (don't do it) and the barista was nice enough to switch it to a cappuccino without an additional charge. Can't wait to go back!

I've tried many of the other bakeries around here, and this place is absolutely top notch. A wide variety of phenomenal donuts, with better actual variety in recipes that some competitors don't have. The donuts are delicious but not overwhelming sweet, and they offer mini donuts as well. Service is great as well, although I can't speak to the other offerings here. This is my #1 pick for donuts in the area, and definitely worth a try if you're looking for something different (and arguably better) than the Duck.

Had this place on my radar for awhile and finally got to stop in and try. Not pictured but I got the cinnamon sugar with sweet cream filling donut and it was so good, only wish the cream inside was filled threw out the donut rather than punctured in one spot, but none the less very A1 lol. The chai was also nice not to spiced but just enough to give you that hint of its chai. Kids got hot chocolates, cinnamon roll and a sprinkled donut both enjoyed very much. Would love to come back and try more of their variety pastries and breakfast/lunch options.

I'm from out of town and this place came recommended. It was so good I went again back on my way back out. Seating inside is limited and I can see where allot of locals would go here. Some positives are that the line moves fast and there is quite a bit to choose from. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful on both visits. I'm not much of a donut guy, but this place was the exception. Very limited parking is the only drawback.

Coming off a recommendation, we took a little trip up to Good Company. Counter is set up a little wonky since you kind of walk straight in to the register, but actually need to start to the right.
Ordered coffee and a bunch of doughnuts. They have some unique flavors that aren't over-the-top crazy. The one that caught my attention was the chocolate pudding doughnut and it didn't disappoint. All the doughnuts we had were that right bit of lightness with a bit of chew. Definitely going back for more.

I have always wanted to try this place and stopped in on a late Saturday afternoon for some soup and some donuts. They didn't really explain to me what was in the soup, which I wish they did for allergy reasons ,but luckily it was quite tasty and had no funky stuff in it. The donuts were great and very fresh. I would love to try more food here in the future.

Doughnuts were delicious! Gingerbread sourdough with cream cheese filling was my favorite. Sufganiyot (raspberry filling) was nice and light. Line was long on Sunday morning but still moved moderately fast. It’s a bit of a cluster by the cash register - wish there was a more visible way to see the doughnut options while standing in line. Doughnuts are also quite pricy - $20 for half dozen.

Actually couldn’t eat the food Bec it was so bad… the potatoes were green, salmon was totally raw on the inside, the pumpkin spice latte had a weird layer on the top that I couldn’t drink. The matcha latte tasted like water. Not sure if this happened because I didn’t tip but I was planning to at the end :( glad I didn’t though cuz this was pretty shocking considering we paid $35 ❌

My boyfriend dragged me out of bed on Sunday morning to get coffee. Of course I had to look at a new place to go to and this was the closest and seemed pretty good.
There's free street parking on Sunday, always a plus in my book. I honestly thought this place only had coffee and doughnuts. I was wrong. The menu was pretty extensive. We got the -
Shakshuka bowl 4/5 - I've never had shakshuka before because of the eggs, but this time I decided to get it and let my boyfriend eat the eggs from the top. Luckily they weren't incorporated into the sauce and just hard boiled so easily

I was impressed, I can't deny it. My only complaint is that if love to see an expansion in the gluten-free department. Trust that I wasn't upset by what I had by any means. It was just so good it made me wish for more.
I had a delightful and delicious egg bowl with tomatoes and took a gluten-free scone for the road. So good! My wife was more than pleased with her egg and cheese sandwich and the doughnuts didn't disappoint either.
We've since returned multiple times due to our our continued good experiences. One highlight was when they had the cicada doughnuts. So inventive

I have tried the mocha espresso donut and iced coffee here and it's not bad! The prices are pretty good, too!
Mocha espresso donut isn't too sweet which I enjoyed as a nice breakfast treat. The iced coffee was OK - I wish they had a regular cold brew. I always found iced coffee to be too diluted, unfortunately. They do have a nitro cold brew but it was like $5 / $6 and didn't want to spend that amount.
They also use Intelligentsia beans here which are amazing!

Stopped by Good Company Doughnuts on our way out of Arlington and it was everything we needed on a Monday morning!
There was quite a crowd outside, but mainly people waiting for their food. There's an option to order on an app, but since we'd never been we wanted the full experience of ordering inside.
While we waited in line to order food, one of their baristas started on our coffees. I was enticed by their "Hovender" latte, and I'm so glad I tried it! When I tell you that was the best latte I've ever had, I mean it! Lavender drinks can be hit or miss, but this

First visit. Ordered online for pickup next morning. Ordered the cinnamon role and ice tea. They use Toast for the ordering system so I was able to use Apple Pay. Always a plus and something I look for.
Order was ready on time. Sat outside to eat it. Cinnamon role was soft and fresh, not too much glaze but I can't say I could taste any cinnamon. I was expecting standard black ice tea but it was some kind of flavored tea - not bad, just not what I was expecting. It was twice as expensive as my usual cinnamon role and much bigger ice tea from a well known national chain but I can't say

Went on sat mrng..! The staff are very polite and friendly. There was constant influx of people coming in..! I got a caffe latte (4/5) and Bagel and Lox (5/5). The bagel portion was huge, It can be shared easily by 2 people. The salmon was fresh and plenty of cream cheese on top. I didn’t try the donuts though. But most people come for them..! There are outdoor tables you can sit and njoy. There’s street paid street parking. Overall a great place.

Good Company Doughnuts and Cafe is a local favorite and for good reason too! The lines are usually long early in the mornings (which you can skip by ordering online). Their half a dozen doughnuts are always the way to go for small social gatherings! Recently I had their Iced Chai Latte and Dad's Steak and Eggs.
Iced Chai Latte: it was a pretty standard chai latte. They do have a $.50 up charge for oat milk and other alternative diary options.
Dad's Steak and Eggs: I thought they did an amazing job with their steak and eggs. The steak was well seasoned went well with all the other
