My Sister's Lil Donut Shoppe

I was just driving by when I spotted Lil Sister’s Donut Shop, and something told me to make a quick detour. I think I’ve had their donuts at work before (the kind that magically disappear from the breakroom), but this time I wanted to try it fresh from the source.

It’s a simple, no-frills donut shop—but the quality speaks for itself. I went with the classic chocolate Long John, and it did not disappoint. Fresh, tasty, and a definite step up from the chain donut scene.

Speaking of chains—prices are comparable to Dunkin’, but the quality is way better. Like, actually-tastes-like-a-real-donut better.

My only small gripe? I had to ask about the loyalty program instead of being offered it. And while the deal seems a little… mysterious (I think it’s something like buy 19, get a dozen?), I appreciate that there’s any loyalty program at all. At the very least, they reward consistency!

All in all, Lil Sister’s is a hidden gem worth checking out. Great donuts, solid prices, and a name that makes it sound like your little sibling started a bakery empire. I’ll definitely be back—probably sooner than I should be.

Great place to get fresh donuts. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Lots of our friends go to donuts shop.

So fresh and yummy!!!!

It was our first time stopping in—my kids and I loved everything about it. The donuts were fresh and delicious. The coffee was tasty and I had a free upgrade to large. 💃 The gentleman taking our order (three kids 6 and under making the donut decision) was patient. And the other gentleman was knowledgeable about the coffee process and was patient and kind, as well. We will definitely return!

Since moving to Oswego a year ago, this is our go to place! Our three year old calls it “The donut house.” Great service! They quality is consistent and delicious! Get the Boston, but save me one. They sell out fast! A true gem in our little town.

Great homemade donuts by some wonderful people. Keep up the great work.

I use to go here daily before work to pick up a coconut donut, they are the only place in Oswego who has these. I noticed some clients with cards to punch when you come in for I’m guessing a free donut, I have never been offered one of these cards so maybe the are just for friends and family. Lately whenever I go in, of course there is a line so no worries, but every time I’m there they see you walk in it’s a small place, but I’m usually the only woman of color in the line, some one says can I help who is next, mind you I have made eye contact with the group behind the counter, I’m the one standing in front of the donut counter waiting patiently for my turn and they say can I help who’s next, usually someone from behind me says she was here first, so I say thank you and proceed to order. I am not the only person of color who shops here I’m just saying when I get there I am the only person of color in the line. But it is what it is. Guess if I want great customer service I will learn how to make my own coconut donuts. Have a great day.

Not much variety when I arrived. I'll have to try again another day. However, the cinnamon roll and donut holes I got were great!
