Customer Reviews

I?m not usually a donut person, but I do love a good breakfast croissant. I picked up two ham and cheese croissants, one for my dad and one for myself, and they were absolutely delicious! Warm, tender, and so satisfying, I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich. The service was great, and the place was clean and well-kept. While they had an impressive variety of donuts, I stuck with the ham and cheese croissants and coffee. I?d definitely stop by again if I?m in the area!

The wife of the shop was very friendly. The husband not so much. I paid for a plain donut and white peanut cake donut. Cost me 4.00 dollars for two donuts I did not mind paying for but the plain donut tasted very old not fresh. So I will not be coming back I will go to Mr Blues Donuts just a mile or so up the road.

This little donut shop is awesome. Got that small time Feel the people that work There are great. The donuts are great. The coffee is good and especially the people that work there the lady and her mom I believe are awesome people.

Best donuts in Riverside hands down, I recommend to everyone.

Great, friendly service all the time. Donuts are always fresh and incredibly good. Nobody in the country does donuts like Southern California and this shop is one of the best.

Bought a dozen donuts here. The service was good and they were very friendly and pleasant to deal with,,, they made my dozen a bakers dozen + with some extra donut holes too... However the price seemed a tad expensive. But maybe it's been while since I bought donuts? What isn't more expensive these days? But seemed a little bit higher prices? Anyways I really don't care about price when buying a dozen donuts anyways... I just found that the donuts while fairly fresh, they didn't taste as awesome as I usuall

Very friendly, prices are fair, and the shop is very clean. If you need donuts this is definitely the place to go ??

The worst doughnut shop... Came in at 9:30 and only saw 2 little trays left and a rude lady said they didn't have any doughnuts.... Why leave the 2 trays out if you don't have any left and what kind of doughnut shop doesn't have doughnuts
