Apple fritter review #13 Glaze: right amount, 5 stars Outside: although I prefer a crisp outside, this one is soft without being soggy, 4 stars Inside: good texture, not overly wet, 4 stars Filling: maybe a scoche too much but not bad, 4 stars 4 stars. We used to live right around the corner from this shopping center over a decade ago and I used to come here a lot. Not my favorite apple fritter in Sac but solid enough.

Generous owner. Great service. They gave my daughter a bonus donut and a box for her cream filled donut to keep it safe on the road. Beyond appreciation.

Family run and always friendly! Best selection in the Gold River / Rancho Cordova Cordova area. More family friendly location than other donut shops nearby. Tucked behind Carls Jr., next to a pediatric dentist office (ironic).

Doughnuts and coffee are delicious! We can always get in and out really quickly and the service is always top notch. They have a small dining area but most people grab and go. There is a large selection and everything is always fresh!

service needs a lot of improvement. im positive im not the only one, for the very few times i’ve come in here there is a very offputting vibe behind the counter the moment you enter and they notice you. if you value kind service and a tension free atmosphere i would support another small business. thank you though.oh and the $10 card minimum everyone else is talking about is real. donuts are good though, it’s just not anything special or crazy in my opinion.

Came here for a ham and cheese croissant, on a Sunday at 11:30 AM, after calling a few donuts places near me where it was sold out And this one was the only that had it And the reason they still had it was because the dough wasn't cooked all the way, I asked to heat up and it was cold and disgusting. Never again.

The donuts were delicious but the carrot walnut muffin and peanut butter cookies were the absolute star of our purchase. The donuts were super tasty, fluffy, and did not taste deep fried like a lot of donuts we've had, which we liked. The peanut butter cookies were amazing. Perfectly done on the outside with a little crispness but nice and soft on the inside. And then of course, the carrot walnut muffin. This is probably the best muffin I've ever had from a donut shop. We will definitely be back!

Pros: Very friendly customer serviceCons: No vegan donutsOnce they start making vegan donuts, I will change this to 5 stars. It's sad that every donut they have contains cow breast milk..

It was nice to find a donut shop that is open very early near where I work . It opens at 4am an its freshly made. Clean shop an smells wonderful upon entering. We need to support local famy own business cause its what these family works hard to build. But this shop has do much to offer an are friendly an waiting to serve you. Around the Sunrise Boulevard area go inside an treat your sweet tooth to a tasty treat. Do try going early I went around 7am an people were already coming in going so your favorite donut or other type you may crave could be gone til its made again fresh the next day.

Has anybody ever seen? A donut shop. That is so clean, It's sparkles? It's like the Mecca of perfect food safety and sanitation. I couldn't believe it, I'm still blown away. it doesn't smell like a fryer. And then you get the donuts and they don't taste like old fryer oil. I have not had a donut this amazing. In my life period best donut shop. I have ever been to in my entire life. Write it down In my life period best donut shop. I have ever been to in my entire life. Write it down. Wow, I am so happy. I had to stop because I had to pee.
