11/1/25 They are open again! You can no longer turn left into the shops, so either U-turn past the barriers or go around behind the McDonald's.

9/29/25 The shop is closed (hopefully temporarily) due to a medical emergency. Note on door says to check Facebook page.

Cute little local donut shop. I think husband and wife run. Only bummer is cash only. We have come here several times and there's always something tasty. It's definitely better tasting than a chain shop and you know the profits mean a lot more.
Today we picked up two dozen donut holes and a half dozen donuts for $13.50. They had raspberry, apple, custard, and marshmallow filled powder donuts.
Most people come in the front entrance, but if you are struggling to get across the street with traffic, you can always turn in the McDonald's lot and go behind/around the building.

First and foremost, this place is cash only. There's a giant sign on the door saying this. Parking was easy as there are plenty of spots in the somewhat run down shopping center. Donuts were wonderful and service was super quick! This place is not a sit down and eat in the restaurant kind of place. You get your donuts and keep it moving. However, it has a reputation for great donuts for a reason!

Very good donuts. 1.50 each. Boxes are extra $.50. Cash only. Yes, I recommend the donuts. I think the apple fritter is my favorite.

The cashier was cool, and the place looked clean. I stopped by, but the donuts were a letdown. I got a Boston creme and some donut holes. They both tasted like they were fried in old oil. The Boston creme barely had any pudding, like maybe a teaspoon, and was mostly just dough. The donut holes tasted super oily and didn't have much glaze either.

My first time going into Carlsons today and I'll say 5/5 recommend. I don't need to make a habit of going but when I need a treat for working out or whatever I'm going there! Go check em out. I had no problem getting the donuts I wanted they were fully stocked. People are so damn greedy and inconsiderate talking about they ran out of donuts....no shit get there earlier and running out is a sign that they have a good product!

Good old fashioned donuts. Light and airy with no greasy aftertaste like the chain (Dunkin) and grocery stores. Service is always warm and friendly. Little gem of a place. Only accepts cash. Big recommend!!
