Let’s be real, no one is dreaming of a kale salad…but a melt in your mouth donut is something we can get behind.

Miles and Joceyln Sao are husband and wife owners of Heroes Donuts. Miles, who is retired military, wanted to continue his support when it comes to heroes, and the locally ingredient sourced donut shop does just the trick! “[We make] homemade donuts to sweeten the lives of our local Augusta community,” expressed Miles. 

The Augusta suggestion? We’ve been told the Apple Fritter is AMAZING, along with the bacon maple doughnut, we’ll let you decide your favorite! And, the best part is they are all under $3. 

Be sure to follow them on Instagram (@heroesdonuts) to preorder for pick-up or delivery!
