I waited a few days to review as I wanted to be sure I was being fair. The cash only is a huge deterrent. I understand transaction fees but then have a minimum purchase or charge a fee for using a card - both are commonplace even though I consider it a cost of doing business. Or at least offer Venmo. Strictly cash only feels like tax evasion to me. I was in a huge rush, had my dogs in the car, and wanted to get something nice for the vet's office. Having to dash to an ATM is unreasonable and makes me want to avoid local businesses. The donuts were good and my vet's office loved them but I'll not return here.

One of my favorite doughnuts shops. The staff are friendly and I don't know of another shop where you can get two doughnuts and a drink for under five bucks.My recommendations are the plain cake and the chocolate covered old fashion.

Donut like it’s 1999… the prices were that of the previous millennium. Felt good to get a bargain and tasty too!

Best donut shop around. Always fresh, great tasting donuts at amazing prices. At a time when everything costs so much (especially food), they haven’t raised the prices in years!

Delicious! Better than any other donuts we’ve tasted and the price is awesome!
There no place that gives you a better donut at a competitive price point. I vividly remembering running to get PQ donuts after 5th grade class. I’m 32 now and have lived in different countries and cities where I’ve sampled countless donuts/fried pastries. PQ Donuts is a humble business with an incredible, consistent product. Not campy or over-the-top, just the humble classics executed perfectly and deliciously. A must try when you’re in the area.
I've been going to Pq Donuts for decades, literally at least since the early 90's when I was 12yo...this place is and has always been delish. Just like another reviewer said, if you want off the wall donuts with a twist then keep on walking. For those who complain that they only take cash and find it sketchy/inconvenient because they don't have an atm inside, then really keep on walking to the 3 other banks in the same dang shopping center and get cash, it's not that serious. More complaints because they only take cash, it's not new and they've always only taken cash for. Decades and apparently being archaic has been working for them and doesn't bother majority of this community. These donuts are absolutely worth it and you can't beat the price. If you happened to get "bad customer service", realize that because the donuts are awesome they do get busy and with like other businesses it can get hectic. If all that seriously bothers you, walk to Vons. -Snooches

If you're looking for a maple bar with an entire stick of bacon glued to it, keep walking. If you're looking for a glazed donut with captain crunch on top, find jesus. PQ Donuts is the type of donut shop you hope will set up shop in your neighborhood. The selection is perfection - giving you every option a reasonable donut connoisseur would desire, so stop complaining that they don't have a donut that comes with a side of bacon thrown on top. This isn't brunch - It's a god damn donut shop. And the prices? The saints that run this place price their donuts for the working man. I paid $2.20 for two glazed old fashioned. Incredible. I might go back for dinner. Five stars.
Moved out of state and I’m bummed because I still can’t find fresh donuts like the hometown hero’s do at PQ Donuts.
Donuts are fresh and yummy. Price is in the picture and Owner was very nice.
Donuts are delicious, but customer service is bad. I hope they work on their attitude towards returning customers. By the way, they only take CASH - I don’t know how long that’s going to last since everything is becoming digital. It’s pretty inconvenient for people that they don’t have a debit machine … a bit sketchy.
