The donuts are delicious... IF you can get your hands on any. We've made attempts to go on multiple occasions, and are usually pretty disappointed to find that they are either already closed or have next to nothing left in stock hours before their closing time at 11. They really need to make some adjustents to their inventory to maintain happy returning customers. We've found its not even worth the trip if you're not in there within the same hour or two they open. Our experience the last time we were there left a bitter taste in our mouths. We got there around 8:30, to a very limited selection (pretty much down to one of each kind) Waited a while to be helped, then once we started being helped, before we could even give them our first selections, another employee started an order for the person behind us simultaneously and that person chose the last available donuts we had planned on getting. At one point while ordering, I pointed in the direction of a certian kind and the second person said "no that's my donut!" It was awkward. First come first serve seems like a fair concept to me considering there was next to nothing left but that's not a policy they seem to have in this shop.

This is our go to donut spot. We are so glad to have this place close by for the occasional breakfast. Our kids love the sprinkle donuts, I like the chocolate glaze and donut holes, and my husband gets the long John filled with bavarian cream. We try to get there early before they sell out.

I would go further to get better as they are either a real donut shop that's in it 100 percent open and selling or partially with customers not having want and when we want . If I want at 6,10 or 1 in the afternoon I'll go to Rocklin and get exactly what you want.

Wonderful place, good donuts, had a maple bar and chocolate old fashioned- great.I would suggest they use the app called “too good to go” to sell out their stock just before closing. A lot of bakery shops in sac are using this and it’s really cool. ( I’m not affiliated).

Service and Ambiance are good. Food in the other hand- Cinnamon roll lacked top glaze that is usual for rolls. (I didn't even expect raisins). But the white glaze not donut glaze is quite necessary or else it's just a big rolled up donut. The apple fritter has no apple bits (canned or fresh)!! Another deep fried donut masquerading as a fritter. So if you want a donut ONLY this is your place.

Never has donuts in stock. Owner will rudely tell you to order ahead, which doesn’t solve the root problem of the fact more people want donuts than she is willing to make. She just wants to close early. Never waisting time here again.

They never have any donuts. they sell out by 8am on a Saturday. Their donuts also are not very good. Save your time and go to donuts and cinnamon in Rocklin or baker Ben’s in Roseville. They always have donuts.

Decided to give this place another chance (and secretly hoped for new management). I see business hours are now Wednesday-Sunday or until sell out. I also see the owner is up to her old tricks with her completely unprofessional and immature replies. I truly cannot understand how this establishment is even still in business. Meanwhile, there was a line at Raleys for donuts. Glad she's giving her business elsewhere!

Absolutely the best donuts! We got there at 5:30am. We ordered the Apple fritter and a couple of old fashioned donuts. Also, we put an order in for 2 dozen donuts for Saturday. The Apple Fritter is the best that I have ever had anywhere. The place is spotless and the young girl helping us was so sweet and efficient. We will definitely be back.

The Perfect Dozen donuts are the best!They're fresh and tasty,Perfect for a quick couple of donuts!I always am late, so there's not always a tremendous amount of varieties but there is always a good amount , and there is always something that I love! Give them a try! Also customer service was great!

Was a regular because it's the only donut shop in town but won't ever go back. The owner has a nasty attitude and after coming here to leave a review I decided to read others. Her responses to anyone who leaves a non five star review is nasty. Not sure how anyone would want to give business to someone who speaks to their customers like that. Oh and my friends and family won't be coming in either. Going to call some other donut shops I know and see if they want to expand to Lincoln. I think once they read these reviews they would be very interested.Response: I don't care what programs you have or don't want. You are rude the way you respond to people and anyone on here who reads your comments to your other customers will see it for themselves. Please people scroll and read.

Great service and the best donuts in the placer county area. The flavor of the maple icing is superb. Clean and friendly.

The staff at this place are really sweet but they do a horrible job at making enough donuts. They never seem to make enough. How could you be out of donuts at 8:30am on the weekends. I've given up on this place and won't be back.

Love the donuts when you can get them. If a donut shop is out of donuts at 9am on a Saturday then they don't make enough. They have a sign thats says to preorder if you don't like the close sign but picking up donuts on a Saturday or Sunday morning is a random, special family thing. Can't you make more donuts? Please
