Had a delicious old-fashioned glazed, but when I got to the donut holes, I was pretty disappointed. The entire bag of holes is stale and hard.
Donuts are okey. Donut holes are not donut holes and price doesn’t match quality
Great service and very welcoming staff.
The BEST Apple Friters, extra large if you ask, in the valley!!!
Open on new years day and super friendly

They have very good service, they are very friendly. The donuts in this place are delicious, I am not going to deny them that.
For me and my family it is a privilege when we buy donuts here since they are out of our budget. I am going to give you some advice, teach yourself how to prepare an iced coffee this Sunday I went to buy two iced coffees and donuts the coffees were horrible I will never buy there again a coffee was the worst thing I made that day for the price I paid it should be 100%
This was always our favorite nearby donut spot for years. The donuts were just always really great quality and the service was great too. They made one of the best cruelersI’ve ever had in my life!
Over the past year or so, the quality has just completely fallen off. Came in today for a full dozen to feed a house full of visiting kiddos. Even the children were uninterested in finishing their donuts and we threw half of the dozen away. The apple fritter was a dry lump without any of the crispy chunky texture, you would want in a fritter. Glazed crueler looked like it was about five days old even though I suspect everything was made fresh. It had a strange dried out look to the glaze. The maple crueler was very lopsided and shrinking on one side. My kid threw half of it in the trash because he said it tasted bad. Everything kind of tasted like it was cooked in two week old fry oil that was also used to make Chinese food. Chocolate twist was about half the length they used to be.
Not sure if the place is under new ownership, but the donuts went from excellent to pretty lousy. Service was not like it used to be either. Really a shame and I hope they can turn it around. Will try other places for a while and check back in a year.

Is anyone going to talk about the fact that donut shops like Winchell’s are charging Starbucks prices for their drip coffee? Why are we charging $2.69 for a small drip coffee when it costs literally 50 cents to make and is 95% water. When I shop at Ross I don’t expect Bloomingdale prices and when I shop at Winchelle’s I don’t expect Starbucks prices.
