Best place for donuts I've found yet in the Salem area! The creme filled donuts are amright up there with Dunkin (which we don't have out west anymore) and the fritters are divine (we love to get the BIG ones!).

Honestly, they were okay — nothing particularly special or memorable 🍩. Just your average flavor and texture.

Raised chocolate doughnuts were stale.
Update - Since the owner replied I should also add two comments.
1. I did get a cinnamon roll for my wife which she said was very good.
2. While I appreciate the apology, when I got home and took my raised chocolate doughnut out of the bag, I could pretty much tell it was stale and a bite confirmed that. So if I could SEE up close that it appeared stale, why didn't the person serving them up into a bag notice that? I'm not a daily doughnut regular, and when I get one I usually get them from our local grocery store chain, but past 10am their selection is poor. So I was hoping this place could be relied on since they advertise they bake at least twice a day (sorry - mine didn't taste like it), so I should be able to go in anytime and get a nice puffy doughnut and not have to worry about some dried up stale dough with a swipe of chocolate masquerading as a quality doughnut shop doughnut.
I will probably try them once more, as I would like a place to stop at that carries fresh doughnuts later in the day. But if that next stop does not pan out, I'll be done for sure.

I came here the other night and was really disappointed. The donuts tasted old 😒 and when I tried to pay with my debit card, their machine wouldn’t work. I was forced to use my credit card instead, which charged me a fee—kind of sketchy. I went down the street afterward and my debit card worked just fine, so the problem was definitely here.
This also isn’t the first issue I’ve had. Another time, I ordered online and they didn’t have the donuts I paid for. Instead of giving me a refund, I had to go through my bank to get my money back. Between the stale donuts, payment issues, and lack of accountability, I won’t be coming back. The whole experience feels very scammy.

My very favorite donut shop in Salem! Always a classic!
I have been going to this specific donut shop for about 4 yrs .... The quality is spectacular 😍 donut holes that melt in your mouth. The added things like chai tea and smoothies are pretty delicious too. Staff is always friendly and helpful.
Not a good experience here. The donuts were just plain dry, and bad. Took a long time to boot. Won't be going back there, that's for sure...
This place is crap. I’ve gone here at night twice and had the worst service. Both times they had no biscuits and gravy. The first time the girl said they don’t do it after 10 this time the guy said the gravy was spoiled. No selection of donuts. Both times I was given whatever they wanted to put in the box despite the fact that I asked for specific donuts. Don’t bother going here the other reviews that say this place is great are a lie. This place sucks staff is lazy and unfriendly. 0/10. Overpriced and not worth paying for something you’re not gonna get. I would rather give my money to the homeless than day night donuts at this point. I read other reviews that say the same thing I’m saying and the owner chimes in about second chances. How many second chances do you need? I can’t believe this place is even still open selling moldy donuts and having spoiled food in your fridge. What’s wrong with you?! The one on commercial is not like this. I’m very very disappointed and tempted to call the health department. Shane on you!

Donuts typically stale & last time my daughter purchased donut holes they tasted like they were deep fried in really bad oil. Nasty. Go to Dude City Donuts - extra money you spend will be worth it. This place is terrible.
