Customer Reviews

First I want to apologize for the not so good looking pictures that I took I was in a little bit of a hurry but I can tell you one thing this is about the best place to get a donut, croissant it's very clean the owners are very very nice it's a really good place to go get your morning donut or a croissant sandwich they also have drinks and whatnot

Small donut shop with a huge variety to choose from! The apple fritters are EXCELLENT! ????

Their donuts are so fresh and airy. I love them with my morning coffee ?. Believe me sharing is caring ?

As far as I am concerned, this place makes the best donuts in town. The people are so friendly, and they're always willing to please their customers. I've been going here for years, and I have honestly never been disappointed. ?? ??

I came early in the morning, Got my donuts and left. The donuts tasted like everything but donuts. It was disgusting. The people in the area .. not it.

Although I am from the community, I am uncomfortable with the crowd that gathers outside of this parking lot. This is not a negative reflection on the owners of the donut shop. They have wonderful breakfast sandwiches and donuts. If you visit this great shop, get in and get out.

They have smooths with this flavored balls don't know what they're called but they pop in your mouth and is very refreshing I'm stuck on the mango. The sandwiches are the best I've ever had these are a work of art on a croissant roll plenty of meat and cheese and just the right amount of onions lettuce tomatoes and mayo you'll ever have in your life. The little places have the biggest surprises. ??

My first time here, good fresh glazed donuts is the only thing I bought. Everything else looked good they also make sandwiches: turkey ham bacon on croissants and bagels.

Nice mom n pop donut shop. If you're not from the hood tho, the random street greeters may concern you, but these guys are cool as jello. If you can afford to be nice, share a cup o' Joe with an OG soul and I assure you, your day will be much brighter. (Donuts are yummy btw??)

They're closed and the phone number is disconnected.

Good fresh doughnuts but they are a lil expensive if you want my opinion

I LOVE their cinnamon rolls! If you get up early, you can enjoy them hot! I try to enjoy one, every day!

Best freakin donuts in sacramento and always welcomed with a smile! I travel from south sac to the north some days just for these donuts... in one word.... yummy!

Im from the Bay Area and came to visit my brother and OMG these are the best donuts ive tasted in a long time. Awesome job! I love these donughts! I'll be back for more and i will tell my family here in Sac and the BayArea.

Only been once. The selection was pretty standard. Service was excellent. Super friendly old guy. The donuts were extra warm even late in the afternoon.

OK this Donut shop has good stuff. The little gal makes ham or sausage party end egg crosaunts, however that's spelled. The chocolate has cinnamon in it. Yummy donut holes too.

Once inside the owner operator was more than happy to accommodate my request for Custer filled aplenty bars to go with my McDonald's coffee

Fresh doughnuts early morning 4:30am. Breakfast sandwiches also made fresh to order, cold drinks smoothies, canned beverages, hot coffee

The staff are extremely nice and the donuts are delicious! I hope anyone who has passed it by would have the chance to enter and get a big pink box of these amazing donuts

I go to this donut shop from time to time and yes don't ask me fresh and I love it sometimes I have coffee and then I had to the Robinson Center Park to meditate pray and do we need to be done and the name of Jesus Amen

Best donuts I've tried here in Sacramento. Friendly service every time. I love their ham egg and cheese croissant.

I got a dozen donuts for a co-worker's birthday, enough for the small office team to share. We all enjoyed them!

Donuts were really good, but you get barrage by like 50 homeless people outside who guilt you into giving them money or buy them donuts. One even followed me over to mcdonalds

Delicious donuts excellent service!!! I love how they throw a few donut holes. The price is great YUMMY ??

Donuts were really good but avoid the ice cream. The ice cream in my donut ice cream sandwich was freezer burned and stale. Tasted like very low quality ice cream. Donuts are much better without the ice cream!
