Customer Reviews

This place has a great variety of food and drinks. Everything from Boba to smoothies to coffee. The donuts are amazing and the assorted boxes always come with everything that's needed! I really enjoyed the sausage and egg breakfast sandwich. You definitely need to stop by if you're in the area they do have a drive-thru. They don't accept debit for payments under $3. And they also have a happy hour for donuts! I've included some photos of their goodies

Some of the best donuts around! They have a drive though??. Lots of options for snacks, food and drinks.

We got the donut holes and the powdered sugar donut. Both are soft, fresh pillows of sweet amazingness!!!

Best Fresh donuts ever! My husband just loves the jelly filled ones! Thank you to all the hard workers there.

This was my favorite donut store in town.. I have my best cherry fritters up in payson ! Lol I ordered a breakfast sandwich meal... he forgot my fresh squeezed o.j. my favorite croissant breakfast sandwich, 2 meats n cheese no egg, not extra for 2 meats , like others. Donuts always great. Pioneers on the filled donut holes, Bavarian cream, blueberry or raspberry. ALL GREAT !

Went here for the first time today. The building is very clean and we'll maintained. The lady working was not only super nice, but she had my order packed and rung up at lightning speed. I tried the apple fritter and it was absolute perfection. Chunks of apple, just a little crispness on the edges, and a soft light interior. Literally everything I look for in a good apple fritter. They had a good variety of donuts and savory breakfast options too. I can't wait to go back and try something different next w

5+ stars ?? We got a donut for each of us (chocolate covered Boston cream filled and cinnamon topped twist) and couldn't pass up getting another 1/2 dozen donuts. Easy to find location, drive threw open 24 hours with coffee, blended coffee, real fruit smoothies, milk teas, and Boba and donuts. Huge variety, even at 3:00 in the afternoon, of donuts. They offer delivery 24 hours. Our donuts were so soft and fresh; we are looking to come back again.

tried to go through the drive through last night and could not figure out if the place was open or not. it was around 7, the doors were locked, lights on the drive thru were off, no one on the speaker. all the 'open' signs were lit up but there were also 'sorry we're closed' signs up in the windows. ended up just leaving, confused. used to really love this place, haven't stopped by in a few years and it'll be a bummer to find out it's actually closed.

These are the best donuts in the East valley. Something about these donuts gives them an edge over my previous favorite, Bosa. They have a really fresh taste to them and the donut holes are amazing especially the chocolate ones which have a very rich chocolate flavor. We also really appreciated that they were open on New Year's Day. We will definitely be ordering from here again!

Donuts looks fresh. I'm gluten free so I didn't taste them but everyone seemed to like them.

Really friendly staff running this place. Great fresh donuts and good options for breakfast sandwiches.

I was thoroughly impressed upon moving to Arizona and finding Arizona donut company. They have amazing options with a great breakfast combo selection. I often visit but unfortunately this morning i dealt with the manager who wasn?t accustom to the one cake donut for five donut whole substitution I come for:) I am hoping to spread the word and seal future business. Also I must mention upon one bite my chauffeur left Jack in the box and we have now returned to Arizona donut company for a second time this mor

Man I just bought these donuts and they are fresh as heck !! The smoothie was so good its gone ! Definitely recommend stopping by

Best donut shop in Tempe. The people who work here are so nice, too, and friendly. Some of the donuts they offer remind me of when I was a kid. Most places don't offer these types of donus, and they certainly aren't as good. Plus, they keep for a few days and still taste as great as the day I bought them.

Walked in on whim around 1 pm since I've never stopped by here. This French Glazed i got is the most tender and delicious French donut I've ever had. Obviously a recently made batch, but i was honestly taken aback. Included are photos of the other donuts i have not yet eaten because I inhaled the French one.

Ideally, donuts should be fresh, mildly doughy, not too airy, and sugary. I feel like each of the donuts they offer here fits that description, except for the glazed donuts. They are very doughy, and not sugary enough to compensate for the doughiness. My favorite was definitely the old fashioned glazed donuts, they were basically perfect. In my opinion, these donuts are better than Bosa, so, for the area, one of the better places to go for donuts.

Delicious selection of some of the best donuts in the area with an abundance amount of all types of donuts. We had an assortment of jelly, custard and plain donuts and they were all delicious.

Amazing donuts! Their breakfast sandwiches are pretty great too. I just wish they had more locations.

Donuts are soft, big and delicious. Coffee was just coffee nothing special.

This place is great, I could not make up my mind and she was VERY PATIENT with me! And helped me ????. Thank you!!

I am by no means a donut connoisseur, but damn these are some good donuts. If you're thinking about trying this place instead of Krispy Kreme or Dunkin, you absolutely should. I certainly won't go back to either after having tried this place.

They have a decent selection of donuts, nothing out of the ordinary. The maple bar is a little smaller than some of the other shops but it's light and airy inside and crispy edges, excellent. I'd say these are the best donuts town.

I love this place! I feel it gives the quality of donut that Bosa used to have years ago. Pricing is a little steep, I do agree but it?s competitive with other local donut shops. Their cake donuts always go by so quick! But every time I?m in the area I pop in or hit the drive thru. ??

If you ever were a Winchell's Donut fan, this is your place. The donuts taste like a Winchell's.

These are my favorite donuts since moving to Arizona. They are ALWAYS fresh and stay open late and open early for my night shift people! The owner is such a nice man too, I just haven't seen him in awhile. Hopefully he is on vacation! ??

Has an old stale taste to it like the Boba has been sitting for hours. The Boba is hard and not tasty. $7 for a small , I get have went to mill and paid $7 for the same .

Sticker-shock Got a dozen donuts assorted and a croissant $30 Was not provided a receipt and no one gave me a total until I got back and checkied my bank. I could have ate a full meal at Denny's and saved $10 Donuts were just on the better side of just okay. They were not bad, but definitely not worth $20 per dozen The service is really good. And the place is cept very very clean! Definitely a nice place. I know it's 2024 but 22+ bucks for a dozen donuts....?

Great donuts. Only complaint is that the milk station for coffee could be better

You can taste how fresh the doughnuts are. They were amazingly good!!

Delicious donuts and service was very professional and nice. Would recommend.

Came 3 yrs ago and loved the donuts then, so we returned for a 2nd visit. Had glazed donuts (light, fluffy, excellent flavor!) and a Cinnamon roll which was excellent as well. Had turkey egg cheese croissant sandwich and it was very good as well. Props to the young lady who was handling the entire store by herself at 7:30..she was extremely pleasant while having to run everything by herself. She definitely deserves a raise!

They have really good drinks here! Their donuts are always fresh and it's always cool inside ??

Great Boston creams, the rest of the donuts were bomb as well.

A little dated on the inside, staff was friendly, donut holes tasted not so fresh but the donuts and ham and cheese croissant were fabulous!

Title: A Divine Donut Experience - Melt-In-Your-Mouth Magic! ????? If there were a heavenly realm for donuts, this shop would be its gatekeeper! I can confidently say that I've never tasted donuts this exceptional before. From the very first bite, I was transported to a blissful state of delight as these melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces worked their magic on my taste buds. The donuts at this shop are simply divine. Each one is a work of art, crafted with precision and love. The texture is incredibly soft

Donuts were fresh and delicious. Awesome aervice

Delicious ! Vegan donuts on Saturdays. Coffee is pretty good too. Will be back !

Disappointed Want to have an awesome maple.bar. Make sure the frosting is creamy. Not glossy ,painted on nasty-ness. So many donut shops. I would think folks would actually care. Dunking donuts ?? are better than most I've come across. But not the best. The small mom and pop shops ya would think k they would care about quality I would blog like a mad dog to find the best

I understand everyone has their own tastes and preferences. As for their large selection of donuts, if you like light, moist, fresh, and tasty it doesn't get any better. Anytime we are near Tempe we stop over.

If you pay cash just you better make sure you double count your change. They don?t know how to do math. The Sandwiches are not as good as it use to be either. I would just stick to the donuts.

My son and I just went there got a watermelon smoothie and Thai with boba and both drinks were so to sweet like full of only sugar. We just threw the drinks away. Waste of 15$..

Fresh light delectable croissants, bagel, sausage ,bacon and donuts. I want to try other items also. The girl in the drive thru is very nice, sweet and full of smiles.

I visit at least once a week on my way to work and order the same 2 donuts every time. One Glazed and one chocolate, they are so fresh and light. And stay fresh until the next day even when wrapped in the paper bag. These donuts taste better than Dunkin, not sure why there aren't more locations?

I love this place with my whole heart and have been going here for 9 years now. The hours have changed a little but they are still open late in the drive thru!!!! The milk teas are recently some new flavors and it's a great deal! My favorite thing to get is the sandwich combo. It comes with juice, donut holes and a sandwich .

I went to AZ Doughnut Co. yesterday and I'm still kicking myself for it. They have a sign taped to the menu board advertising decaf hot and iced coffee. I asked if I could get a half decaf/half regular small iced coffee and was told they don't have decaf because no one buys it. Totally fine but take down the sign. It was just a taped up price of paper, they didn't have to actually alter the menu or anything. So I asked for a small iced coffee with half coffee, half almond milk, and a pump of caramel syrup.

Third breakfast sandwich from this place. First sandwich covered in sugar and mixed with donuts. Second sandwich, covered in grease. Finally, this sandwich which is covered in grease, tasteless and the ?light and flaky? bread is smashed flat. Entire sandwich was run over by a reindeer.

Been coming here for YEARS. Handed them my free 1dz card that I had to buy 10 dz to get the 1 degree a d they wouldn't honor it. NO EXPIRATION DATE on the card. NO SIGNS POSTED they aren't taking them...even though they should honor them. $20 a dozen now. Won't be coming back.

Places pretty good except I found it inconsistency of prices. Also, they didn't really state the price of each individual Dona and it's different especially in the drive. Through where I expected to purchase, about $8 of donuts and ended up spending about 17 on 4 donuts, but they were delicious nonetheless. Sho I definitely recommend getting them if you can afford them. They are definitely a treat and not something You just want to grab for your morning breakfask

Absolutely horrible place! I would give a negative 5 stars if I could. I was refused dozen donuts because I?m allergic to donuts with coconuts, the owner/woman was extremely rude. I highly don?t recommend coming here.

Pretty good donuts. On my first visit, a few months, the kid in the drive thru was rude, so I left before I ordered. However, I thought I would try them again. I'm glad I gave them a second chance, because the next employee was nice/normal and the donuts were pretty damn good. Probably the second best in Phoenix.

If for any reason you want donuts late at night, they are opennn!

Update: they either need a new speaker system or people that listen. I?m getting tired of my order coming out wrong because they missed a few words Original: You have to try the sandwiches. A little expensive but they?re huge and loaded, so - totally worth it. Of course the donuts are great, on par with classic Bosa (before they started branching out from the 3 original locations). Can?t go wrong with any of them. The chocolate icing is a little lacking on cocoa sometimes, but the dough is always A+

Worker did not understand their own menu, rude, unable to hear from drive through speaker. Also Did not understand how to use the card reader. Very Dirty and poorly kept up, looks closed from outside, will not return.

I was strictly a Bosa girl but I went here because I passed it and said let me try them. Oh my am I glad I did. They have so many more options and they are delicious! I love filled donuts and while I feel they can use more filling.. I love the taste of the donut and the filling. Their donuts are flavorful and not heavy. I have not tried the drinks yet but I will update my review when I do!

Their food and donuts are always on point. I love that even though I work really early they are open so I can grab donuts for my team on the way into work. Never been disappointed and the breakfast sandwiches are also great.

Oh my gosh these donuts are super delicious. This is my first time trying these donuts and I love them.I bought a few different ones to try and every single donut was really delicious. They are light and they don?t make your stomach feel like you ate a donut. I?m super happy I found this place! It is a real treat! Every time I am in Tempe, I will try another flavor because I know I won?t be disappointed.

My favorite place for a quick breakfast or lunch in Tempe. I?ve been coming here for many years and the food is always great quality, and good prices. The staff are welcoming and kind!

I was in town for business and brought 2 dozen Arizona Dounut Co donuts to the client's office. An email was sent to the staff that they were in the break room. The donuts lasted 27 seconds! Knowing they would go quickly I ordered myself one and ate it on the way to the client site...glad I did. Fantastically fresh and delicious.

It's No Bosa Donut..That's All I'm Going To Say..But Nice People..

My go to stop for a breakfast sandwich. Their sausage egg and cheese croissant are amazing. And they are open early morning so it's perfect for anybody that has to be at work before 5am.

The fluffiest lightest most softest melt is your mouth donuts in town by far. Place is clean open 24 hours crew that's there is patient and friendly. They make deliveries for residential and businesses. Prices are little higher than your local grocery store but they are way better than those from there. Really excellent donuts made fresh hourly it seems every I have been go on they are taking out a batch out of to the counter or pulling them out of the fire. With all types of Varieties of flavors they offer

Maria made my real fruit strawberry smoothie to order perfectly. Excellent customer service and the freshest donuts in town. Give them a shot!

Way better than BOSA. Super fresh, lots of flavor, staff is always friendly, and they have a drive-thru! Today I tried to order their super delish blueberry glazed donut but they were sold out. The lady could tell I was super bummed and included a free glazed donut in my box! Totally made my day. Love this shop ??

Online says they offer vegan donuts so I drove here on Saturday Had an inconvenience today when I was told they no longer sell the vegan options just never update online so was a waste of my gas and time

One heck of a breakfast deal?I got a bacon/sausage croissant, with a coffee (which was not bad), and 5 donut holes. All food was tasty?but for the bargain deal breakfast hunters this is a must-try. ?? the donut holes were tremendous?I expect their donuts are similarly delicious

My favorite donut place!! I drive miles for these donuts. When sharing at my workplace I always get compliments on how delicious and fluffy these donuts are. You can buy these donuts early in the morning and they WILL still be fluffy and soft at the end of day. Smoothies are delicious. They offer boba with your Smoothies as well. Sandwiches as well are filling and good. If you buy elsewhere your missing out on these fluffy donuts. Nothing compares to this place.

I've been coming to Arizona Donut Co. for Year's. AND haven't gone anywhere else since and on weekends I get up early for coffee Hot , Cold or Blended depending on my mood that day. The Bosas Are good too, and this place has the softest and Best tasting Donuts you can get.... The staff is friendly.

The kindest, most amazing donut shop ever. They had to make a small substitution for me because they were closing and were out of something, and they gave me an entire extra dozen donuts in my delivery order. Much appreciated guys. I cried a little bit, that's so sweet. Much love, I will start going here as my usual donut shop :)

I love this place, not only do they have fresh ?? ?? donuts at any time of the day and not just in the mornings, but they also have a very tasty ?? breakfast sausage egg and cheese sandwich and to top it of their milk tea with boba and smoothies with fruit pop and fruit jelly are delicious as well. If you are not a fan of boba, fruit jelly, or fruit pop just the milk teas and smoothies by themselves are delicious as well. Their customer service is very good too. No complaints whatsoever

Needed my donut fix while visiting Phoenix for the first time. Got a glazed, apple fritter, buttermilk and a lemon stuffed. All were great and fresh. Apple fritter was crispy on the outside and soft inside. Buttermilk was my favorite!

Love this place! The donuts are always fresh and melt-in-your mouth delicious! The service is great and friendly, as well. I refuse to buy donuts anywhere else because of this!

They?re not 24 hours. Please turn off the ?We?re Open? sign. My first visit I had the apple fritter and Bavarian cream chocolate Bismarck ? both were very good. And the price/value was great. Better than Bosa or Boba donuts. Update: 02/07/2022: Great donuts. Had the powdered donut filled with blueberries ?? and it was delicious. The other donuts I?ve had and enjoyed are their Apple fritters, Bavarian cream, vanilla glazed coconut, and chocolate glazed cake donuts. Best donuts in the area. Update: 06/24/20

I am beside myself. As someone who loves loving things AND loves writing things, you'd think this one would be easy - but words fail me when I try to type "best donuts in the city". Like really - is that my poetic pronouncement? These folks are nice. I have never visited (all sortsa hours of the day) in which a fresh made donut I wanted was sold out as they crank 'em out for ya. The iced coffee is delicious and super fun because all drinks are sealed with a metal foil topper that must be puNctured with a p

Some of the best donuts I?ve ever had! So good I forgot to even take a picture! We visited this place twice in our four day trip! The staff was very friendly as well!

This was my first time and I only got regular and chocolate doughnut holes. They were fresh and delicious!

Super excited to have found this place! Heard about it randomly from someone and I was so pleased to go. They're open 24 hours and they have a ton of different type of donuts. I highly recommend the Bavarian cream, Apple fritters, and their glazed or filled donut holes. But the real icing on the cake is they have good milk tea boba and delicious ham and cheese filled croissants.

A mostly great old school donut shop. The best in Tempe probably. Only downsides are that they will sometimes give you a stale donut, and for their jelly donuts they use that horrible thick, waxy, fake gelatin stuff instead of jelly. That stuff is practically a war crime and they need to stop.

PERFECT location next to 2 bars...who doesn't love 24/7 donuts, especially after a nice night out. They'll end your awesome night with all sorts of smoothies, teas with boba. The donuts are much larger than dunkin, and same price. Lots of jelly and cream filling.

Peach smoothie was pricey but really smooth tastes amazing and you can taste the natural peach flavor. Definitely will be back you made a pregnanct girl who hasn't been able to hold food down for a week very happy ???? love their donuts too!! The boba tea is next on my list!!

They open early and that works for me when I need to get donuts for my crew after 5 am. And under 2 bucks

I received the worst breakfast sandwich of my life yesterday from here. Not only was it wrong, but simply disgusting. If you must go there, be ready for mediocre at best food with a heaping side of horrible customer service. I strongly recommend saving yourself the trouble. I went back today for them to make it right, at their request from calling yesterday since I couldn't return with the un-eatable food, and was treated horribly. I really wish I would have just cut my losses beacuse now I need to wa

very good food, the croissant bread is delicious on their sandwiches. their donuts are great too. only thing is there's usually only one person working so it's kind of slow but the food is worth it. i've never been when it's super packed so I can't comment on how long waits are during peak periods.

If you are ever in Tempe looking for a quick donut or breakfast, you have to stop at this place. The workers always provide great service and the food is fantastic with prices that are hard to beat. My personal favorites are the donut holes with a pineapple smoothie. Best donuts in Tempe!

Love this place. Always fresh & always served with great customer service. I love the sausage egg croissant. The English muffin sandwiches are delicious too. Wash that down with a boba drink and I'll have the next day. All their donuts are light & fluffy also. You just can't go wrong. During Covid they are wearing masks & respecting others. Thank you. ??

Our favorite donut place in Tempe! Not sure what happened to Bosa but they started tasting like old frying oil?. We stumbled upon this gem a few years ago and never looked back. We love their breakfast sandwich combos, and milk teas. Their plain glazed are done so simple and well, you have to try.

The best donuts in Arizona!!! Definitely not in the best location. The staff are rude and judgmental. Sometimes it?s kinda hard to place a order? Honestly the donuts are so good! Plus so much cheaper then most places that sell donuts that are not even a fourth as good as the donuts here. Plus they got the best selection I have seen. The donuts are so good It doesn?t matter how bad everything els about this place is.

Drive thru is terrible you can't hear them and they can't hear you. They only got half our order right. What is this donut ??

Phenomenal doughnuts, tastes the way they ought to, tried original glazed, maple bar, and old fashioned - all were excellent - this does not have the kk nasty aftertaste
