It’s the news that lots of folks have been waiting for — the new Doughlab doughnut bakery has announced its soft opening dates.
Doughlab will start welcoming guests on Saturday, February 15, and Sunday, February 16, to its new storefront at the Cascades Overlook center in Sterling.
The bakery specializes in masaladas — a doughnut-style pastry with a variety of fillings and toppings.
“Doughnuts go fast, and there’s usually a line before we open, so plan ahead to snag your favorites,” the shop’s team posted to social media. “The first 30 people in line will get a free doughnut with any purchase.”
Opening weekend hours will be 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. or until they sell out — whichever comes first.

Long-timers in the area may remember Doughlab’s previous incarnation as B Doughnut. They had a shop in Leesburg that closed in 2019, so this triumphant return is a longtime coming for fans.
Doughlab has taken the 800 s.f. space in Cascades Overlook that was previously the home to Abbott’s Frozen Custard.
