When it comes to the Mother of all donuts, there's only one place in the Tar Heel State to find it: Stoke in Uptown Charlotte.

You'll find Stoke in Charlotte's Marriott City Center in Uptown.

Grab some friends and get ready to marvel at this one-pound dessert that can easily satisfy 5-8 people.

It's no exaggeration to say the donut at Stoke is the biggest sensation around.

The gigantic cake donuts are made to order and fried to perfection.

Then they're filled with Stoke's own mix of sweet whipped cream and pastry cream before getting topped with crushed Heath bars.

It's the perfect dessert to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary — or to order for no reason in particular.

The atmosphere at this Uptown eatery is that of a wide open space; even the kitchen and its wood-fired oven is open to the entire restaurant.

Both casual and elegant, Stoke is just the right pairing of Uptown opulence and suburbs charm.

Believe it or not, some people actually want an entire meal before taking on the one-pound donut.

One of the sweetest things about Stoke is their Everyday Brunch. There's no need to wait 'til the weekend for a reason to have a structured and delicious breakfast in the middle of the day.

Stoke is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week.
