Local favorite OMG Donuts is now open on Monroe Road

OMG Donuts‘ second location is now open off of Monroe Road in east Charlotte.

The big picture: Chang wanted to be a part of the growing MoRa community of small business owners popping up in the Meridian Place development on Old Post Road — near the Idlewild Road intersection and East Meck High.

• The donut shop is neighbors with Edge City Brewing and Hawthorne’s Pizza.

What to expect: OMG Donuts combines its existing donut offerings with a full coffee bar and an ice cream station.

• Popular donuts include classic glazed, maple bacon and apple fritters.
• “There’s not a day-old donut ever,” Chang tells me. The yeast-raised donuts are all made by hand.
• From OMG’s custom filling station, guests can also choose a “fillable” donut and select whatever filling they’d like from strawberry to vanilla cream.

Background: Chang opened OMG with her husband Alex Kim in August 2017. In four years, the shop has become a local favorite. Even though it’s in Concord, we at Axios Charlotte have often claimed it as Charlotte’s own in our best donut guide because the donuts are that good.

Location: 6209 Old Post Rd., Ste. 108.

Hours: OMG Donuts in MoRa will open at 6:30am-5:30pm on Tuesday through Sunday.

• And yes, that means that Chang arrives at the shop most days by 3am — sometimes even as early as midnight. “We take it seriously,” she says. “When the second shop opens, we’re Team No Sleep.”
