I went to Krusty's Donut Shop and the customer service was amazing! They treated me with high energy, respect, and recommended me some really good donuts!! They kinda told me about them, how good their donuts are, what's new, and what she liked! I loved the donuts—they were soft and soooo good! I definitely agree with the sign "best in town" (which is what drew me in?). The blueberry donut was my fav! I also got a glazed and something called Oreo, which were both delicious.

They have visually appealing donuts and great presentation. They look delicious and smell great. They photograph well. But I wouldn't buy them for taste. They were dry, but the cereal on a few was slightly soggy. It was not a positive texture. The employee was very sweet, patient, and willing to help. The donuts seem high priced, but I think they are pretty comparable to other shops.

The apple fritter is wonderful, but their Bavarian cream donuts are very sparsely filled. The four I’ve had in the past couple weeks barely had any cream in them, and a couple not even a half a golf ball size amount.The service is friendly and fast. The atmosphere score they can’t help since they moved in with Berry blends so I’m not rating that.I do enjoy that they have happy hour with very cheap donuts in the evening, which is a great way to reduce waste and make donuts cheaper for the people who don’t care about leaving theirs overnight for the next morning.

I was hoping that with Krusty's we'd get an above-and-beyond experience, but unfortunately it's a shiny package with little substance. Visually, Krusty's has the donut business on lock in the Mankato region. Flavorwise, they're far behind most.1. QUALITY CONTROL: Buy ANY filled donut of theirs (there's only a few to choose from at any time) and you'll end up with a TINY amount of whatever off to one side of the roll. Roughly 70% of your donut will be dry. Additionally, their fillings are cheap and unimpressive. Want a glazed donut? I can't see the glaze people!2. VARIETY: While they have a large selection of options, most are within the same realm. A standard holed donut with some sort of flavored decor. Forget croissants. Forget puff rolls, a real eclare, a nice longjohn, bearclaw, holes, fritters, twists, most cream varieties, and multiple fruits on the same day. Art is only a third of a donut. We need flavor and texture!Am I glad to have a focused donut shop here? Of course. But it's not what it should be. While Hy-Vee has gone way downhill on quality and skyrocketed on price, and Kwik Trip's convenient chemical nightmare seems to be the go-to for many, the likes of Cub and Family Fresh may not be as pretty, but they're still leaps and bounds ahead on taste and texture. Take a hint from places like Daube's in Rochester, Wuollet's or Glam Dolls in Minneapolis: Flavor and quality control are king.
I stopped in here for the first time this morning. First impression is that I was impressed with the cleanliness of the shop and the variety of the donuts. But what most impressed me was the service. The guy behind the counter had to be the owner because this dude was passionate about donuts. He gave me a full run down of the various flavors and made some great recommendations. The maple bacon and the french toast donuts were both killer. Highly recommend.

delicious donuts, and your espresso tastes so good and can’t beat the price. mixing the caramel with the espresso before adding ice and milk will melt the flavor though i hope they start doing that. the caramel doesn’t blend with the drink because it’s too thick and it just sits at the bottom but i’d still love to try a different flavor next time

LOVE these donuts! Wish we lived closer, everyone we tried was delicious! Fresh and tasty even the next day. Service was just as good, hope this place stays around forever! ?
