Beaver's Dough-Joe
About This Spot
Stepping into Beaver’s Dough-Joe feels like slipping into a warmly lit neighborhood hideaway where the pace slows just enough to indulge in simple pleasures. The air carries the inviting aroma of freshly baked dough and rich coffee, mingling softly with the hum of friendly chatter and the quiet clink of cups. It’s a spot that instantly welcomes you with its cozy, down-to-earth vibe—where everyone seems to know your name, and the baristas greet you with genuine smiles that set the tone for a comfortable pause in the day.
Here, mornings are gently brightened by doughnuts that almost feel like a warm hug — soft, fluffy, and crafted with thoughtful, playful twists. Whether it’s the comforting sweetness of a maple-glazed treat or the surprising touch of a bacon-topped doughnut, every bite carries layers of familiar nostalgia tempered with a local spirit of creativity. The menu feels alive and inviting, encouraging moments of discovery with unique flavors like red velvet with cream cheese frosting or the charming crunch of a cereal-topped delight, perfectly paired with a cup of Mexico roast coffee that’s brewed with as much care as the pastries themselves.
Beyond the flavors, there’s an understated emphasis on community here. The attentive team adds a personal touch to each visit, making it more than just a doughnut run—you’re stepping into a space built on warmth and genuine connection. It’s the kind of place where quick stops become cherished rituals, where the bakery counter sparks familiar smiles, and where the local rhythm feels a little sweeter. Whether you’re settling in for a quiet moment or grabbing a dozen to share, Beaver’s Dough-Joe invites you to pause, savor, and feel rooted in its welcoming charm.

Love their yeast donuts and go for them at least 1-2x a month, but what donut place isn’t open on Sundays. This and Admiral’s Dough Joe make me so sad with these hours. I always crave them on Sunday

Very tasty flavors! Loved the Red Velvet and Strawberry cake donuts, while the chocolate iced and filled yeast donuts were my favorite! The strawberry fritters were THE best we’ve ever had!

This place is the best doughnut shop in TN. If you want to be in a better mood for the entire day just come here because you'll leave happy I promise. I do! They have the softest bagels, fairest prices, and unique flavors. I highly recommend Beavers Dough Joe to all!

Beaver Dough Joe in Karns is a total gem! Their donuts are next-level—fresh, fluffy, and packed with flavor. But what really makes this place special is the people. The team is always friendly, and you can tell they put real love into what they do. Ryan, the owner, is very friendly as well. Whether you’re grabbing a quick dozen or just stopping in for a coffee and a chat, it’s always a great experience. Hands down the best donuts in town—five stars all the way! Ps. Love having my 1-on-1 business meetings here as well.

Nice gentleman ,whom waited on me. Great attitude and well mannered. Love the cozy feel of the place. Coffee smelled great. Donuts were and Are awesome! Great prices. Friendly feel,great donuts and coffee. Apple Fritters were as big as your head. They taste amazing. Wish they were open 24/7 they are new and such a welcoming business that is different and great for our karns community. Clean, well ordered, cozy, smoke free and just welcoming. I suggest you run ,don't walk to get some Beaver's Dough-Joe coffee and donuts. Yeah, they are that good. Coffee is awesome also. I am now going to be a long time customer and visit very often. Go by yourself or with a group you will come away happy and smiling.

Very airy and fluffy donuts! Some of the best donuts in Knoxville area. They usually do sell out, which also tells you how good they are. The blueberry cake was my favorite!

They have very delicious doughnuts and other pastries. Their latte was also good. But good luck finding them open. They close when they run out of doughnuts. This would be my only complaint that I have. It took months to get there when they were finally open. Then next time they were closed again.
