About 16th Street Donuts

16th Street Donuts offers traditional, mom-and-pop style donuts at affordable prices. The shop serves a variety of flavors, including chocolate cake frosted and crumb cake donuts. Reviewers praise the service and taste of the donuts, calling them "on point" and "smooth" with a "fry outside." The shop's location near downtown Sacramento is surrounded by homelessness, but the delicious smells wafting from the shop make it a worthwhile destination. Visitors often comment on the excellent apple fritter, describing it as the best they've ever had, with a perfect balance of apple, cinnamon, and fried flavor. The apple fritter features crunchy outer folds, a soft inside, and a layer of cooked apple throughout. Customers also enjoy the butter bar, similar to a maple bar but with an old-fashioned donut texture, along with good cake donuts and twists that are soft and delightful. The friendly service and affordable prices make it a popular spot, even when visiting close to closing time, as donuts remain fresh and delicious.
