Customer Reviews

If my taste buds could talk ?? ?? mmmm this place is not just a treat, but the staff is awesome, donuts are stellar and such a nice size. Brennan made sure we were taken care of! Thank you for having old fashioned and bars and lovely happy staff. Donuts ?? x 12 for days. Get a box to believe!

The quality of these donuts are laughable. This is an apple fritter and a round glazed. Not great. Oh and they also didn?t include part of my order. So there?s that. What a joke. Don?t waste your time or money here.

Banbury Cross Donuts usually are the go to. Just do not plan to go there on National Donut Day. They don't have anything special, no deals, and nothing extra they offer for the one day a year when donuts truly matter most. Such a let down.

The Salt Lake location was always the best place in the valley for donuts. I was excited when they expanded to additional locations, including close to home in Layton. Unfortunately, they?ve gone progressively downhill since they?ve opened here. I can?t count how many times I?ve gone here and they are sold out of popular items before 9am; yet tons of less popular items fill the shelves and front cases. If the items constantly sell out, that indicates people really want those and you should adjust productio

I love their donuts, there no place fresher than Banbury Cross Donuts. They are soft and just the right amount of sweetness, I also love their $1 Donut Nights, an awesome way to get something warm and sweet. Love you guys and gals, keep up the awesome job ??

Huge huge fan. The fact that their donuts are all "caged" clues me into the fact that they handle all of them individually and put care into the quality. I go weekly and have never been disappointed. Staff is terrific, too. Highly recommended for either the vanilla cake donut or the blueberry old fashioned.

Every time I bring my kids for morning donuts the employees seem so bothered that they have to help customers. The service industry can be so draining especially if wages are low but the vibe is so starkly different from somewhere fun and pleasant like In-N-Out. The donuts are great. Very rich and a delicious. The people are miserable.

Ordered a dozen doughnuts and am very pleased. My kids are loving these! They actually have a very nice texture. Cheaper than Krispy Kreme and leagues better in quality and especially service. I came on here because the old fashioned doughnut is the best I?ve ever had. The actual doughnut is nice and crispy but not overcooked at all. Frosting is the perfect amount. Also the maple bar, which isn?t even the best doughnut of the batch, is the best flavor of maple I?ve tasted. It?s my first time here and I?m de

7/6/24 @ 11:20am First time here. Walked in to what l felt like an old vintage donut shop. Super cute. I was instantly greeted by Brennan. He was knowledgeable on each donut and described taste, textures, and density. He made fantastic recommendations. We went with a 1/2 dozen donuts and their bottled chocolate milk. These donuts were delish!! Moist, fresh, and cooked to perfection! We will be back!

Isaiah and Eileen are the best! Friendly and courteous customer service. We have a special needs child. Staff are absolutely wonderful with him. We visit sometimes twice a week and love this place! Thanks for all the good donuts and wonderful customer service!

Best donuts in Utah. My kids always request donuts from Banbury Cross on their birthdays. They taste great and always consistently good. Love going on Tuesdays for their dollar donuts. Highly recommend Banbury Cross!

I love all of the Banbury donuts, but the cronut is my favorite! So flaky and yummy! I love the specials that they run on weekdays and there are times when I stop in for a single donut and they just give it to me ?on the house.?

These are the best donuts I?ve ever had in my life. They are light and fluffy and remind me of donuts from a particular business (kk), but 10 times better. These donuts are soft, melt in the mouth, have incredible flavor, and are filling. When we stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, they didn?t have many donuts. They sell out very quick, so be sure to get there in the morning. We were able to get six glazed donuts and six blueberry. We definitely want to go back and try more flavors! The employees were rea

I stop by Banbury almost every Sunday morning, and Persaiya is always there with a warm welcome and fast, friendly service. She keeps the line moving and still makes time to be kind and upbeat. The donuts are always fresh and delicious?easily the best in town?and Persaiya?s great attitude makes the whole experience even better. Sunday mornings wouldn?t be the same without her!

Banbury does so many things right. They have an amazing base dough for both and raised donuts - all you need to do is get a glazed and you can tell that the rest of the donuts will be good. Some people say that they aren?t sugary enough (compared to other brands)? but that?s what I love - I can eat 3 donuts without even thinking about it. My favorites (in this order are): cinnamon crumb raised, rosette, maple bar, white cake vanilla frosting and peanuts, blueberry blueberry cake, and strawberry raised. This

I was disappointed in the freshness of the donuts. I went in the midmorning to get donuts for a friend's birthday, and got extras for my family. When we ate ours, they were dry, obviously not made that morning. When I go their facility, I expect them to be fresh; otherwise, I would just buy them at a grocery store.

Pretty average donut shop. They do run out of donuts so you have more options if you go earlier in the day. We did like the cinnamon crunch donut and the cronut (croissant donut - square with hole in the center) - it was flaky and pretty good. We heard the cinnamon rolls are amazing but they weren't available either of the two times we went (one day we went at noon and they were sold out - the other day we went early and they weren't finished being made). Guess ya gotta be lucky on your timing to get those.

My cousins brought over some Banbury Cross Donuts to a party and I liked it so much that I went to buy my own. To my surprise they gave me my order on the house. The donuts are absolutely delicious and I've fallen in love with their blueberry cake donut. 10/10

Definitely some of the best donuts around. I tried their croissant-donut croissnut. It was really good. I'm coming back for one of those soon for sure. Unfortunately it was late in the day and they were out of chocolate cake donuts, because those are my favorite. So much better than dunford. But what they had was yummy.

I found a thread in my donut. Not a hair, a full on thread. It might have been an accident, but it grossed me out. I really am starting to question their food safety atmosphere now. The donuts, however, were good. They don?t have certain ones in stock, though. Going right in the middle of the day and this happening with something like apple fritters seems odd. Not one single fritter left. However, they gave us a donut on top of our dozen, which is kind of cool and unexpected. I guess you win some and lose

Love your shop and your employees but the last couple of times I?ve come the doughnuts haven?t been up to par and are dry and don?t taste like they did when you first opened. A couple times I?ve had my order take in the drive through and have been given the wrong thing but the receipt shows the correct order.

Best donuts around, but totally incompetent workers. I ordered online a day before picking up our order. The order was 50/50 what we ordered. The second time I tried to order ahead by calling the day before, thinking that would help them not mess up. We showed up to pick up our order, that we already paid for for over the phone, to find they never filled our order in the morning when they had all the donuts we wanted. So they ended up having nothing we ordered and offered a refund. Sure the refund is fine,

This is one of mine and my husband's top favorite donut places. Their donuts are always fresh, delicious and are big full size donuts. The service has always been so friendly and very helpful. 100% recommend this donut company and this store (Layton, UT).

Exceptional confectionary offerings. Cinnamon crumble donuts my all-time favorite. Filled Bavarian Cream Chocolate not to be overlooked!

Our fav donut shop, particularly for a DELICIOUS old fashioned. My girls are huge fans of the cro-nuts, too! We love it!

Got an assorted dozen and asked for a verity of favorites and got 4 of them being blue berry glazed sprinkled, 3 of them blue berry glazed and 2 being strawberry glazed. Definitely not an assortment.. might be my fault for not getting a custom dozen. But figured I could trust them to get me a good assorted dozen.

Fresh and delicious every time! Their staff has been helpful and friendly the past few times I have visited the Layton store. Donuts from Banbury Cross are a family and workplace favorite!

They have delicious donuts! I prefer these over KK or most others. I only took off a star because I ordered 3 dozen raised rounds for my daughter's birthday and they substituted some of the chocolate rounds for chocolate bars without telling me. There were supposed to be half dozen chocolate with sprinkles and half dozen plain chocolate but we didn't get any with sprinkles and only 3 of them were the rounds the rest were bars. I wanted all rounds so nobody fought over who got the bars since they are bigger.

Donuts are awesome. Was not as impressed by the cronut. It was flat and very greasy. Just stick with the donuts and you'll be happier

Place is great. I love the hospitality and the donuts. Always a pleasure to stop here and grab a donut.

I walked in and was met with the lovely smell of donuts. This was an amazing old school feel donut shop that blew me away. The decision to choose between the many donuts was hard but mason and brennan made it so much easier. They were so knowledgeable and made all the difference! I?m definitely coming back!

It was Easter and they were definitely understaffed. It took a little longer than it should have but not their fault. Donuts are fantastic

We ordered online and went in to pick up our order. We were then told that they don?t do online orders and they didn?t seem all that helpful. If you don?t do online orders CHANGE YOUR WEBSITE!!! It still allows online ordering. We also didn?t get half the doughnuts we wanted and had to wait for them to help other people. I understand it was a busy day but it is not my fault that this feature is no longer offered and this is not communicated at all on the website. Do better.

Great place, my clients love when I grab them donuts from Banbury. Love the points program as well.

Everytime I go in, I always have great customer service experience there is one girl in there I believe her name is Zay she always has a smile on her face very welcoming. Donuts are always fresh and delicious and will have me coming back every time

My favorite is your jell donuts. I bus when I am finished with my doctors then on my way to work. I have to get 2 dozen. But the jelly are mine!

I ordered curbside delivery for national donut day. When I checked in I got a message saying my order would be right out, after 15 minutes of waiting, I finally went in to pick up my order. I know they were very busy because of what day it was, so I can?t fault them too much, it was just a little annoying. The donuts were delicious as always!

WHAT THE HECK!?! Good God all mighty these are amazing!!! They have that oily but yummy dough, just the right amount of crispy to soft ratio; toppings/fillings are generous, and the flavors are all there! Finally gave this place a chance and they are our new favorite. Reminds me of the old school supermarket bakeries that use quality ingredients and don't taste 3-printed haha! 10/10 be back again!

15 years driving to slc to get my most favorite donut. I'm obsessed with all of their donuts. Even the next day they still taste fresh. Go get one you won't regret it but you will be addicted

Already recognized as we walk through the door. Presented with hot fresh cinnamon rolls and fritters. Heaven on earth!!!

Bright, friendly, clean establishment. Yummy donuts that have a variety available all day.

Open signs says 5:30, showed up at 5:45, door was locked, knocked and was ignored, called and was ignored, even though there was an employee visible inside the kitchen. Extremely frustrating as I went out of my way to stop by solely because they were the only donut shop around that SAYS they open at 5:30, and I was hopping to get fresh donuts for a 6:00 AM get together. First and last time visiting this business ??

Sure would be nice to have a loyalty rewards program! We spend a lot of money on your addictive doughnuts!

Banbury Cross has the best donuts! I love the huge menu and the service is great.

I love it when the donuts are freshly made. I hope Banbury Coss stays at its Layton location forever!

My husband and I needed to cancel an online order and they were very understanding and accommodating. Every single experience has been nothing but good because the people are warm, friendly and attentive. The donuts and other items are simply the BEST!!! We really love having them closer to home at this newer location in Layton. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing donuts!!!!

I love Banbury Cross donuts and so happy I have one closer to me now in Clearfield.

What professionalism and genuine kindness. The staff are the true epitome of how customers should be treated. The place was packed, yet the staff handled it calmly and efficiently; one even went to open the door for me on my way out because my hands were full. And the donuts (doughnuts) taste amazing! Best donut spot around. For sure will be returning.

Absolutely delicious donuts and for a reasonable price! We can?t wait to try more! The glazed was so soft and fluffy. Melts in your mouth!

Another great hidden gem of northern Utah. Maple bar was outta this world. Very unassuming place. Was extremely suprised. Flavors were on point

Bought a dozen assorted donuts and asked the girl to surprise us with the selection. Well she definitely did because we opened the box when we got home and she only gave us 10 donuts when we paid for the dozen. Disappointed. Reading other reviews and seeing that this is common. So issue is still occurring. Won?t be going back or recommending.

Every time we come in here we get the best customer service. Kayla is awesome and made our experience wonderful! Their donuts are always fresh and never disappoint!

The best donuts around, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Our family LOVES these donuts!! They are by far our absolute favorites! Everyone at work loves them too!!! We get them all the time!! Have not tried one I haven?t loved!!!

Love the freshness of their donuts! Great flavors and always friendly!

Friendly workers. Clean environment, Great doughnuts. Great prices.

We used Banbury Cross to provide donuts for a Halloween music event. Everyone LOVED them. Great service. We will order again next year for the same event.

First visit to this location. The employees we nice and helpful in choosing donuts for me. Highly recommend the maple bars/rings. The maple that they use tastes fresh and not synthetic. My family loved them! Also recommend the blueberry frosted cake donuts and the glazed. My family pretty much loved all the donuts they tried. I do wish I was able to try them, but unfortunately there are no gluten free options available, which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I will definitely get donuts here for my

Great donuts and great service. Fast, friendly and amazingly good pillowy raised donuts.

This is a quiet little donut shop. There?s a good selection of classic donuts. The glazed was light and fluffy, it could use a fraction more glaze on it. But it was a great donut nonetheless. 8.8/10. I would make sure you go here if you want a good donut. Check out my other donut reviews from across the country.

The donuts are wonderful and the service is quick. They took my custom request and filled it perfectly. Due to it being so close to Halloween they included a a spooky cat for my grandsons. I can't wait to go back, soon.

Staff and products are great, but it's off the main drag so leaving is a bit of a hassle. Parking is also a bit scary as you leave since people are coming off the main street at high speeds.

Donuts are always fresh and soo good. The staff is friendly.

Always friendly staff. usually lots of options. the best donuts in utah.

Very rude employees. Pulled up to order and got no response. Continued to the window only to be greeted by a disrespectful employee who rudely stated that we had to go inside and then slammed the window closed. Also always out of donuts by 8am. Go anywhere but here. Hope they go out of business soon.

Their donuts are delicious when they have them. But just since January we've tried to go four times between 8 and 9:30 am each time and they've been sold out of everything except for a few donut types (their least popular) so we've just left. There was twice we went in the afternoon and the same thing happened, but for a donut shop we understood that they'd make fewer donuts that time of day. But morning is the most popular time, so going and being told all of their most popular are gone 3 hours or less aft

The person who helped was fantastic. Although, recently,there is a line due to having only one person at the counter. Someone came out from the back, looked, and she went back (into the back) leaving the counter staff slammed. She did very well, but she could use some intermittent assistance

I love Banbury Cross Donuts, always have. But this location has the worst donuts. I've been here twice now (at the Layton location) and both times now, the donuts just taste like burnt oil. Maybe they dont replace their oil regularly or they are using it at too high of a tempature. There aren't too many donut places in Layton and this place should be packed, but it never is. I won't be surprised if this location closes down in the very near future due to lack of sales. Stick with the one downtown Salt Lake

The Donuts taste great but at 8:45 this morning they had very little selection and this is the second time. We tried to go last month and get a dozen all they had was plain glazed. The employees just look at you like what do you expect. I expect a donut/ Breakfast place to have actual product in stock. If their business plan is to drive customers to competitors. Mission accomplished.

Great service and fast. Delicious donuts.

I called in advance and ordered one dozen maple bars for a birthday party. When I went to pick them up, it was one dozen assorted. There was no apology, no offer to fix what had happened, just an employee telling me I was in the wrong. A little customer service goes a long way. If she had said, I'm so sorry, would you like a refund, or could I offer you the maple donuts instead, I wouldn't have been so irritated. Instead she blamed me for ordering improperly (not sure how when the person who took the order

The doughnuts were AMAZING! but more importantly, the 2 young men there displayed incredible customer service with us, engaging with us in conversation, answering our questions and truly caring about us as customers all within the short time we were there at the shop. Very neat to see in young people!

Love this place and the staff. They are amazing!! I run a community program, and the manager there is always wanting to get involved and donate. Today, they ran out of glazed donuts. I know it was because they are so good, but I was a little disappointed..

Your donuts are the best! Quality is second to none. The morning staff at Clearfield location are so efficient and kind. I appreciate their excellent customer service and concern in getting my orders to me promptly, so I can get to work on time. Also appreciate their friendly personalities, they always thank me for my business and wish me a good day. I?m so happy your bakery is in our community. The donuts and your staff make my workday better. Thank you!

We went near closing time, so I was not expecting fresh donuts, but they were considerably good for sitting out all day. However, the service was terrible. We walked in 30 minutes before they closed, and all of the display cases were wiped out l, and we were not acknowledged by either of the two workers at the front counter. They said nothing nor did they even smile at us. We walked up to the counter and got two singular donuts, and they still said nothing except how much it costed. Not sure I would go back

The best donuts for sure! Thank you for coming to Layton because KK down the road doesn't even compare. By the way my late husband loved Banbury Cross in Salt Lake growing up. If he'd have known just a few years later that we would have a Banbury Cross within walking distance from our home! Knowing him and always up at the crack of dawn, we probably would have had donuts in the morning waiting for us on the weekends. So we now enjoy them once in awhile for him.

When I buy donuts in Utah, this is one of the places! Always get multiple donuts and my favorites are in this order: 1. Cinnamon Crumb 2. Maple glazed 3. Apple Fritter. Always amazing!

This was my first time going to this location. To say I?m underwhelmed would be an understatement. While the donuts were amazing, the staff was not. I didn?t feel welcome, my questions were answered with annoyance and it truly felt like I was a burden to them. I didn?t have a large order or a complicated one. It was literally 3 donuts. While I understand that we don?t all like our jobs every day, we still have to put on a happy face and be polite, especially when customers are the livelihood of the business

In general, we love banbury donuts. However, this location has had terrible customer service every single time we?ve been there. What pushed me to write a review is the fact that we sat at the drive through for 5 minutes with no one there to take our order. We decided to drive to the window to see if they could take our order there, thinking they didn?t see us? We got there. The staff saw us. And did nothing. We sat there for another 3-5 minutes then decided to leave. Yes we could?ve gone in, but we were p

Ice cold, day old donuts for $2 a pop?! We have been to this location 3 times to make an informed review, and each time at 7 am 8 am and 9 am we have received what were clearly day old and straight from the fridge donuts. We are avid fans of the salt lake and centerville locations so we wanted to give this a fair shake, but we are officially not coming back and recommend to anyone else to save your money for a better experience elsewhere.

Good doughnuts but nothing amazing! I do like the box were it has a divider between the top and bottom row!

First off I really like the donuts. I have been multiple times. Every time I go most of the selection is sold out. It?s very frustrating when you go for specific items and they run out before you get there or while you are in line. I would definitely go more often if they would have more consistent availability. There is no clear indication of what the donuts are so you have to constantly ask every time you go in. I feel like having designated areas with signs that are movable would help. The workers always

I want to give a better rating because BC doughnuts are amazing. I?ve also never had a problem with selection, but my kids wake up at 6:30 AM so we?re usually there by like 7:30 AM. But the service! The employees that work there seem to take it super personally if you deign to enter the store. They?re rarely friendly, and even if they speak to you, it?s clipped as if they want to get you out of the store as fast as possible. I get that getting up early is hard. I also get that staying late at a job is har

These Donuts are high quality goodness!

Thank you guys for the doughnuts. Y'all made my kids and my husband's day. ?? It was greatly appreciated. Thank you Sam & Benj. The doughnuts are awesome, recommend going earlier in the day, I went around 1pm and selection was a bit smaller but still great.

They're not quite there. The donuts at this location are often overcooked and drier than those at Centerville or SLC. Different textures that aren't as good or meet the consistency and quality. Service is also hit or miss. I've had friendly and attentive service but I've also had employees chatting and ignoring customers until someone got impatient. I've had one lost order and another one mixed up with someone else's.

These donuts are AMAZING! Best I've found in utah

Banbury always has a good variety and fresh donuts when I go in. I just wish they had blueberry donuts more often. I prefer a blueberry cake donut but Banbury blueberry donuts aren?t. The blueberry donut is still good. My boy and I also really like the old fashioned donuts as well. The employees are very friendly and helpful.
