HANDS DOWN best donuts around ! Folks are friendly and the place is clean. More importantly the donuts are AMAZING. Light and fluffy and some really cool items you don?t see anywhere else. Worth the trip from the strip ! 6/8/25

Seven year celebration for this location today. I have enjoyed all seven years to the hilt! BEST DONUTS IN VEGAS! We absolutely LOVE Carl's donuts. We always chose Carl's over any other donuts. They are delicious and worth every cent. All employees (except for one female) are always smiles and friendly. If you run into one of the owners, you will be presented with a bright smiles and welcomes. Thank you Carl's for always making it possible for my family to enjoy such delicious donuts!

Carl's is the bomb, best apple fritter I have ever had it was delicious. We've been a number of times and it keeps getting better.

Wow, really great donuts! I like to try all the donut shops in town and I have to say, they are always hyped up, then when you try them, many times the donuts are dry and tasteless, but definitely not Carl's! These are the first donuts I've had in the longest time that are super fresh & doughy. So delicious, every single bite! I got the s'mores and the pumpkin spice latte. I will without a doubt be back when I'm feeling like sweet yummy things. On a side note, they are also alot less then any of the other

Day 1 of my vegas trip from New York we decided to get donuts for breakfast. This place was on my list to visit so why not try the famous Carls Donuts on the first morning!....We got a specialty donut which was the creme brulee, a chocolate covered mochi donut and a huge almond cream filled croissant! Everything was fresh and They were all delicious! This place is very clean and the service was 5 stars!

Yummm we tried this place while visiting Vegas from Bullhead City AZ! We got a mystery box from the good to go app and would hands down come back here again! My family was so impressed with what we got and how delicious everything was! My 6 year old LOVED the croissant!

Carl?s is should be critically acclaimed for their customer service and donuts! These individuals working behind the counter and in the kitchen put real effort and passion in their confectionary marvels. Every donut we tasted was delicious! Every experience I?ve have had ordering and picking up donuts and interacting with the employees is never short of stellar. Fantastic place for families!!

Great classic donuts for a fair price. Reminds me of every neighborhood donut shop before Dunkin's mediocrity drove so many out of business. The service is always fantastic as well, and all the people working there are just the friendliest. Try the cannoli old fashioned if they have any left; if they're out, well, guess you need to wake up earlier.

They donuts are so delicious. Got a mystery box a dozen and every single one was delicious. The Croissant was so good. It had a believe it was pepperoni and jalape?os and cheese so good. I tasted it. The kids loved them and the adults let them I will be back.

Oh wow! Great, FRESH YUMMY-LICIOUS-NESS! The smells alone could make you gain 10 pounds! I'm certain of it! I'm sure Heaven will have Carl's Donuts!

We have always come here for tasty treats. We saw the display for special donuts for events. So we ordered some for my daughter's birthday. Absolutely amazing! ?? she was thrilled and they were delicious! I just had a few ideas and they ran with it and did an amazing job! Couldn't be happier with how it turned out ?? customer service was great - no hassles no fuss it was all super easy. Thank you so much for helping make her day that much more special!

Been coming here every time when on vacation from Idaho ! These donuts rock! Taste so good and their speciality flavors are just amazing! They have been around since 1966 and it?s going to be a 100 year business more than likely with top notch tasting donuts. Excellent customer service as well. Come quick, as they sell out fast everyday. Thank you Carls donuts for make our lives sweeter.

I haven?t went to a donut spot in a long time and this spot is one of the spots that I could see myself going to when I have a sweet tooth in the morning. It?s very clean very welcoming and the staff is great.

All the donuts at Carl's are great! Jelly has filling, and Bavarian cream has Bavarian they are filled well! ?? We usually get a variety from cake to specialty donuts, running around $27 for a dozen, but you will be happy. I have been at different hours & the cases are full of fresh donuts. They do have coffees, teas & other bakery items. Carl's been around since 1966 ??

I?ve been watching Carl?s on Instagram for over a year and we finally made the trip from Utah. I love their factory videos and you can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do. We went for the classics and loved them. The maple old fashioned is fantastic, I also loved the coconut cake doughnut and the cinnamon roll. The most surprising thing to me was how affordable they were. We got a baker?s dozen for about 10 bucks! I?m glad we stopped.

Great donuts that taste just as good as they look. Keep in mind that they will be overly sweet if you get a flavor heavy on sugary tastes but donuts with a tart filling are well balanced. It's a very busy place but the line moves quickly.

Donuts were good ,one was a bit dry (coconut), but still ok. The young lady was very friendly and patient, being it was our first time. They didn't have the pistachio Croissant that I wanted to try but will still come back again.

I've been getting Carl's donut from Chervron, but getting fresh ones is a whole different experience. The place is super clean. A great variety of donuts and specialty ones. Of the dozen my favorite has to be the coffee filled and surprisingly I rarely like filled donuts. Customer service is great. Very friendly and welcoming. My go to donut place!

If donuts were people - standard donuts would probably be my fun, impulsive fashionista party friends...that would also ditch me somewhere random and unsafe after a wild night out. On the other hand, Carl('s) would be that considerate, sophisticated friend that I have coffee with. The one I've always wanted to date - except (of course) they're taken. I thought Carl's donuts were just right in terms of sweetness; they weren't cloyingly sweet. It feels like there's some level of artistry to these donuts, mat

Famous since 1966. Over 50 years of making donuts. They have all the kinds you could think of. I went with the raspberry filling one These are really good Pretty sure I had a maple bar and it was ??

Great donuts! Clean shop. The staff is professional, courteous and friendly. Great variety of parties and donuts. First time here and will definitely be back.

We have been looking for a new Donut spot for some time now, never knew it was going to be so close to home. Was recommended to Us by our sister and I have to say this place doesn't disappoint has one of our favorite donuts to share the chocolate clusters and they were excellent they're old-fashioned coconut crumble was just spot on. I think the best thing today was walking in and getting hit with a wall of that delicious donuts smell that fill the air. I'm in heaven. I want to thank the staff for being so

I can't speak for the rest of the nation, but by far, Carl's Donuts is the best donut shop in all of Nevada. I've tried them all, every donut place I ever find or look up I've gone and tried them. Most of them are average, especially compared to Carls. The way they look - they are a work of art. The flavors are balanced - they have a wide variety. And you can go from sugary to savory. If you like almonds, the almond croissant is to die for. Well worth the trip if you're in the Las Vegas area. Make sure you

Ever time I get to Vegas I go to Carls. OR they come to me via DoorDash or Uber eats. Best way too wrap up your breakfast or to snack on with your coffee or morning beverage. Sooo fresh, freaky and funky... enough about me thought. Hahaha. If you read this far, the only thing I can say to convince you to eat carls donuts is they are the best. Lobby is African Grey friendly too

Clean restaurant, friendly staff, a large variety of baked goods, and plenty of drinks. All the classic donuts are fresh and taste great. I had a Turkey jalape?o croissant that was fantastic. Fresh squeezed OJ s was spot on. We drove 15 minutes to get here and would happily do it again.

We seldom get donuts, but decided to try Carl's Donuts, we were blown away. From the moment we walked in, we could tell this was the place for baked goods. Not only does everything look beautiful (so professional) but they taste even better. I can't believe it took us this long to find this gem, but it's definitely our go to place for donuts and baked goods.

The donuts are nice and fluffy here! (I especially enjoyed the apple pie donut.) My all time favorite thing to get is the ham & cheese croissant. (The croissants are perfectly flakey & buttery!) The employees are friendly & dedicated to customer service. Love the vibe here!

Great service and very well balanced flavors, not overly sweet like a true dessert!

Simply Amazing! Fresh donuts i ordered a dozen they were ready when I arrived. Very friendly people .

I am not a sweet tooth and not a fan of donuts?????? but this one is a bomb ?? creme br?l?e. The bread is so soft ?? the glazed is perfect and the custard is not rationed. Quality ?? They just open in sunset Las Vegas. As soon as you open the door the aroma of donuts are so inviting the presentation plus the place is clean and neat. Good customer service. Hoping they would maintain the quality, good customer service and neatness of the place. ??

Carl?s used to be so good a couple of years ago but I went back today and noticed the donuts don?t taste half as good and they?re more expensive. They?re heavy and cakey, the flavor of the apple spice was off too. What happened to this place? It was $28 for 6 donuts and a few drinks, way overpriced for the quality they were offering.

My friend sends me Carl?s Tik Toks when we?re dreaming about Apple fritters. But being in North Carolina makes the distance a bit of an issue. Better believe when we came to Vegas for business we jumped in a cab. 100 percent worth it, best fritters EVER. The staff was so kind and all the doughnuts we got were actually great!

UPDATE 3/8/2023 This past weekend, I tried it again just to be sure it wasn't a bad day or something. I got a eclair (which is up charged) and it had ZERO filling. Not impressed. One star. I really do not wanna give a negative review, but after my last and final experience it's a public service announcement. I am disappointed to say the quality has gone down and the prices have gone WAY up. Never in my life would I have ever agreed to $60 bucks for two dozen donuts. all the upcharges for basic donuts like

My favorite donut shop! Their coffee is the best, the orange juice is fresh squeezed, they have all the classic donuts and a lit of fun delicious new ones. The cheese Danish will change your life. The staff are genuinely friendly and sweet every time I've been in

Delicious donuts and pastries with a wide variety. Employees are super friendly! There?s also coffee including cold brew coffee available. This is a great pit stop on the way to the airport!

I own a donut shop in FL and I can tell you this place is awesome. Amazing donuts, very clean, very well run, the employees are very happy, friendly and thoughtful. I strongly recommend you eat here. I will be back anytime I?m in Vegas.

Along with having the best Donuts in Vegas, they also have amazing pastries! Plus the people who work there treated you like family.

Unfortunately, I'm limited to only 5 stars. Otherwise I'd give them 10 stars. Amazing donuts. Very creative flavors and classic flavors. They also have a daily limited donut. Prices are very reasonable. I make it a point to visit every time I'm in Las Vegas. Only thing I wish is they offer a bakers dozen (13). This way I can bring a dozen to my clients and eat #13 myself.

Amazing Donuts. All delicious and fresh. It was so hard to put the box down.

Never disappointed when I come here! From the amazing staff to the bomb donuts ?? they are one of my favorite places in town. Prices are very reasonable for what you get and are well worth it!!!

Passed right by pinks and pulled in the parking lot of Carl's, 1st time here and I have to say everything was really really and did I mention Really good, the ham & cheese croissant with jalapeno was good, the donuts were not as oily or overly swee...all around a wonderful experience... The best part was we were greeted with a smile the moment we walked in... Thank you for the great experience

Have to check this place out when we're in Vegas in May. I'm watching the processing of their donuts on YouTube now. It's an amazing process.

best service with great taste, easygoing, fast service, fresh bakery

This is a MUST for Vegas locals and tourists alike. Everything is SO SCRUMPTIOUS! My fave is the ham and cheese quiche. The donuts are so creative, big, and just so good.

I've gotten donuts here multiple time which are delicious but I got one of their Lemon Blueberry Muffins this time, it was heavenly. Not sure if I can go there and not get a muffin now.

Seriously good donuts. I followed them on IG and it was mission to visit this location when I was in Vegas and it happened!

Delicious donuts, but by far my favorite thing was the jalape?o turkey quiche. It was one of the best quiches I?ve had in my life. Fritter was good, but I wish they had more flavors than apple (may have just been the day I came). Lots of unique and fun flavors. We enjoyed the blueberry cobbler donut. The old fashioned donuts were also very delicious. Highly recommend for an early morning quiche and/or donut run.

I visited Carl?s Donuts last week for the first time and loved it. The people who work there are kind and welcoming. They have great variety of delicious fresh donuts and savory pastries. My favorite was croissant with turkey and jalape?o. I also ordered their fresh orange juice that was on point on this hot summer morning. Overall a great place to start my day!

Ordering and paying was chaotic and needs help. Other than that it was great

Donuts are tasty and they offer a great variety. Coffee is great too and staff was friendly. Perfect weekend treat!

Great donuts and pastries. Service was great...friendly staff.

I am giving a two-star because customer service is terrible. Every time we go there the girls serving talk like they are irritated with you and just plain rude. I will say though that the donuts are absolutely delicious and the croissants are amazing! This would be a five-star place if they got people with better attitudes.

Great donuts and other confections to go! Their open early with fresh baked everything sweat and they put the likes of the other national big brand donut shops in the dust.

Customer service was amazing, Alicia was very patient and helpful. She's knowledgeable about her products. I bought a variety of 6 specialty, 6 basics and a muffin. Under $30 includes 20% tip. The German Chocolate was delicious, moist, light, and not overly sweet. I have high hopes for the rest.

Good donut selection, great specials. Happy hour as well

The ladies workin this morning were full of energy and very nice and inviting. 5 star donut shop. $9.50 per dozen es fuego!

If you don't know this place it's a must for specialty donuts and great service.

They have both classic and specialty donuts, but they're not over the top. They are regular donut size with good prices to match. Staff is friendly. Plenty of free parking. No hype just good donuts and coffee at good prices.

Amazing donuts! The cannoli old fashioned and the pb&j were my favorites.

Super cute donut shop. Customer service was also top notch. We bought donuts and coffee and both were great. We came close to happy hour and basically got a free donut for each donut purchased. It was a really good, unexpected deal. In addition to the yummy donuts I got a hazelnut, caramel latte and my daughter got a cold brew. This place was definitely not a disappointment!

Haven't been to the shop yet but I was able to drink a gallon of their orange juice. I had a cake doughnut tasted great but the juice was heavenly & the best OJ (with pulp) I've tasted period. I'll not be buying OJ from the supermarket any longer. It'll be my luck that after this post I'll curse them to close (only two shops in the valley). ??

What can I say, Carl's is has been a Vegas staple since the 1960's and with good reason. First, customer service is great, always great attitudes and engaging with customers. Second, the donuts are great; great variety and variety of flavors. Plus they offer coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. And I forget about my favorite thing to get there, the ham and cheese croissant; perfectly cooked croissant. So if you haven't tried them, give them try you won't be disappointed.

OMG the drive is worth it, our favorite is Cinnamon roll with creme br?l?e ?? is so delicious. The place is nice and clean and the customer service is excellent.

Spacious atmosphere overall. Their customs I've come across so friendly and knowledgeable about Carl's delectable pastries. I got the turkey jalapeno quiche and Ube Cruffin

Went in for the first time this morning. The two employees working this morning were absolutely amazing. The young lady was very patient, kind and helpful. The young man was the same on the phone. The donuts! Freaking delicious! We will definitely be going back, I must try the danishes and a few more donuts.

We love coming here. We often see the owner, he is a nice guys always has time to chat. We try to come at least monthly to get the flavor of the month. The croissants and red velvet are our favorite by far! Would recommend 100 times over!

Wide selection of very delicious donuts! They also have quiches, croissants, and muffins. They offer seasonal flavors as well as all the staples. Great coffee too.

I can't wait to get my donuts when I arrive in Vegas on Friday morning! They have great donuts and the employees are very courteous.

I eat a Carl's donut everyday at my work but I had never been to the actual store. It really nice, very clean, and the counter attendant was super friendly. There's a reason Carl's has been in Vegas so long, they're all around great.

Corals donuts is great all in itself! However, Carlos help me the very first time that I came in. I was exhausted and asked them if they sold energy drinks he started out saying that they do not sell energy drinks but I has one that he can give to me. Excellent customer service. To top it off my second time going in looking for a specific donut they were all out the cr?me br?l?e cinnamon roll oh my if you haven?t tasted that come in and order that one that one is great so they were out of the cr?me br?l?e c

Clean with a hugh variety. Young ladies working vary nodgeable n sweet

Service was amazing, clean location, and you must try the salted caramel twist. Do not pass this up when you are in Vegas.

This place is absolutely amazing. Today I had their sticky buns. I died and went to heaven. It was perfectly flakey and not overly done. Not doughy at all. Perfection. Their prices are super reasonable and everything is delicious. My second favorite is the ham and cheese croissant. The staff is super polite, professional, and very attentive to their customers. I'm so happy it's on my way to work.

This place is unbelievable. Try the donuts they are amazing but their pastries are on par with what you'd find in Paris. The croissants are to die for and if you like muffins the lemon blueberry is superb! Thank me later

Very clean place, friendly people, good selection of donuts for a Monday afternoon. Doughnuts were lackluster, honestly, great texture and freshness, but the flavors were just not there. I still recommend trying

I went here to purchase donuts for a special occasion at my job, I had been searching all over the internet for a place that was different, unique and better tasting than the other well known place. I waited a week before posting this review just to make sure I wasn't still in my feels about the transaction that day. I ordered almost $100 dollars worth donuts got lack luster customer service but still kept a smile on my face but when I get to my car I discovered the individual donuts I ordered (outside o

Honestly the best donuts I've ever tried. The base was so soft and fluffy with a balanced sweet flavor. The recommended donuts were my favorite. Staff were extremely welcoming and helpful.

Their donuts are the greatest, hands down. Also their croissants, sweet or savory, and quiche type treats are all the greatest foods! They make custom donuts into sheet cake and the colorful decorations are beautiful. Only the coffee is not as great as their food. It needs a stronger taste.

Donuts are the best! Coffee & lattes are worth coming back for also. (Would be nice if they were in a little bit bigger cups) Service is great. Very friendly. People have been getting Carl's donuts & brownies from 7-11 for a long time. Carl's donuts have their main wholesale bakery on sunset corporate drive also, but it isn't open to public. If you get a chance, give this place a try!

Great donuts and the people are very friendly. This shop is nice because you have all the different flavors and types of donuts in one location including items they only create for this location. Their prices are better than most gourmet donut shops and they make really great coffee from Vesta coffee roasters.

Let me first say that the donuts are Awesome. However, this review is about their management and something which happened in their store. I used my debit card to pay for my purchase. Two hours later, there were about six charges on that card from apps on phone(s) to make purchases through Uber and Playstation. Someone at the store lifted my card number. That's all that my bank and I can figure out because I didn't use the card at all for several days before then or after, and the charges started that d

The price of a donut has got ridiculous and the quality has gone down !

Heard about this place on the news and in the weekly magazine after reading the great reviews decided to drive alllll the way across town only to be greeted by the best customer service I have ever had! I asked annoying questions that I?ve sure the young men heard 1000 times they smiled and helped me picked some amazing donuts! Great prices! Fresh food! Great experience and we will return again and again! I think hunter was the young mans name helping us!!! Great job keep up the good work!!

These doughnuts are quality! The service today was outstanding! Came in from out of town and the gentleman and young lady were so kind and helpful! We will definitely be back. That chocolate Bavarian cream doughnut?? might be the best I ever had!!

literally the best donuts and sweetest workers! i go there during my free periods at school and its always the same two workers, always so nice and never in bad moods :)

Carl's used to have the best apple fritters in Las Vegas. Now they have this fried cakey donut thing that has very little apples and absolutely no cinnamon. They have become absolutely tastless. Used to eat at last 1/2 dozen fritters a week from Carl's, not any more. Thank you Randy's for creating an apple fritter that tastes like apples and cinnamon, not just fried yellow cake with icing. It's time to step up your game, you are not the only donut shop in Las Vegas anymore.
