This place has the most delicious donuts I have ever eaten in my life. It is definitely much better than the other Gourmet donut shops that I have been to.

Favorite donut shop in the Phoenix area.

10/24/25 update - Incredibly disappointing that the PB&J now much only an online order option. You can no longer purchase this as a walk in. Additionally, you can't add it to a build your own box online, it is only available a la carte.

Obsessed!! Went in today for the first time and the gal working was so sweet! She let us try a couple samples and walked us through all of the options (there is truly something for everyone!). The donuts themselves - incredible! We will absolutely be back.

Best donuts in town, and a must-stop whenever we're in the area. Staff are super friendly and the donuts are always fresh. The red velvet is my favorite!

Lots of donut variety and unique flavors. The PB&J donut was amazing and a unique "pie donut." The donut base was soft and airy like a normal raised donut with a bit more air pockets and glutinous texture. It was also not sweet at all, which paired nicely with the chocolate peanut butter glaze. The Girl Scouts donut tried to imitate the famous coconut cookies, but it didn't capture their strong coconut flavor. This is probably due to the fresher ingredients and less sugar, and despite this, it was still great. This raised donut base was perfect: light, fresh, and not oily. The workers are friendly and helpful, and there are often samples.

As always when we travel, we look for a local place for donuts. Thought you couldn't go wrong with a place called The Local Donut. I was right. These donuts were amazing. Got a dozen of the traditional, and they did not disappoint. Picked 6 different types, glazed, chocolate, sugar, cinnamon, red velvet glazed, and old fashioned, and they all were so good. Stay away from the chains, even the PHX one, and find The Local. Worth it.

Parking: In a small strip mall, with a restaurant, so parking could be difficult.

Kid-friendliness: It's donuts, of course it is kid friendly.

The creme brulee and cronut are amazing. My husband did a custom order here for a birthday surprise for me and they were the best donuts I've ever had.

Clean spot with exceptional customer service. The gentleman even threw in an extra mochi donut. S’mores donut on point with mascarpone on top was such a treat! Will be back thanks for a tasty treat!
