Customer Reviews

I had an amazing experience at this donut shop! The customer service was top-notch from the moment I walked in. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. They took the time to explain the different donut options and even recommended a few of their best-sellers, which did not disappoint. The donuts were fresh, flavorful, and the variety was impressive. You can tell they put a lot of care into both the quality of their products and the experience they offer. I'll definitel

They do not take card for purchases under $10, I would love to say it?s a card reader issue but it seems like a tactic to get you to spend more money instead. Unethical and extremely inconvenient.

We wanted a little more than the basic doughnut selection since our neighborhood doughnut shop is good but has just the basics. We checked out a few other options close by online and decided on Cindy?s. We are so glad we did, not only do they have a beautiful presentation but are equally as yummy. Made a special treat for our 7 year olds birthday and will most definitely return.

Love these soft, fluffy donuts! Always have to visit when I'm in town (though prices have gone up, of course).

We are becoming regular customers. Still warm, donuts are sooooo good. Highly recommend this place.

Food was delicious and I loved the customer service, Old Fashioned donut was so yummy

Cindy's is a fantastic bakery. I go there every once in awhile, and their products are always fresh and delicious. Cindy herself is a terrific lady, and always has a big smile on her face. She mostly does donuts and croissants, although sometimes she has bagels. I wish she baked fresh bread, I would by there all the time.But what she does baked is fantastic, and I highly recommend this place

This family apparently makes our family warm and happy every Saturday morning with fresh donuts. Raspberry and Bavarian cream are my two favorites. Support your small business. 5 stars. Very recommended

An Amazing local donut and pastry shop. Awesome customers service. The family that works there is extremely nice and respectful. Always great quality donuts. Always fresh. I love the selection and the location is prime. My only concern is the price. Though it's fair, I wish they were a lil cheaper and had more hours of operation. Hopefully this helps you.

The Lady who runs the business LIED TO ME!! She told me that some donuts were filled with cream and she charged me more expensively $2.50 instead of 1.50 for each one. When I got to the house we open the box of donuts and SURPRISE they were all regular donuts, they were not filled! THEY ARE A FRAUD!!!??

The donuts had a fresh taste to them that I had not experienced in a while. The Apple fritters were not over fried and hard as it n most places. The cinnamon roll was moist and fluffy. The pastries were not over glazed. The blueberry doughnuts were tasty and the kids went crazy over the chocolate glazed ones. It's a small place I discovered when visiting the pho place next door. It's a bit pricier than most doughnut shops in the area, but worth it. Don't wait too long, the close at 1.

Very delicious! Doughnuts are well made and of good quality. Croissants are also wonderfully flaky and slightly sweet! A good choice for a sweet breakfast. Festive and fun decorations!

Never an assortment of donuts when I go in!! Just happen to be next door, n stop in,I got one donut for grandson she was pretty rude n didn't want give napkins out...FOR KIDS!!! Not returneding other shops in manteca

Light and fluffy doughnuts with tasty frosting on top. We live in Idaho but visit our son in Manteca occasionally, and always stop at Cindy's at least once during our stay. "Nuff said."

BEST Donuts Since I was a kid! I keep trying new places and nothing compares to these! Staff are always so nice too.

Stop in the morning to get hot chocolate and a donut while drinking my hot chocolate something chunky came out I spit it out and it was a bug looked like a little cockroach disgusting.I call them up to let them know they ask if I wanted another one I said no just make sure to check the cups or chocolate they hung up on me.

yes i came in last week and a donut had a hair in it and the others were very dry do not recommend. An employee was also very rude and nasty towards me.

Under $10 you have to pay cash. Over $10 and you use card they charge .75 per transaction.

The donuts are soft and fresh, and I will come back

Really good place to buy donuts. The cinammon rolls, in particular, were exceptionally good. Donuts are reasonably priced as well.

Taste great! My kids enjoyed their donuts and the lady was super sweet!

My favorite donut shop! fresh and soft donuts ?? frosting is on point ??????

Best donuts I've ever had. So fresh and soft.

Great doughnuts. Raised sugar and plain old fashion are the best. Time it right and get them warm!

Donuts are very good size I wish they would fill up my cup of coffee more

Great donuts, but only bad thing is it's a $10 minumim to use a card.

I grew up eating these donuts, now anytime I come back to town I always have to go to Cindys and get some donuts ??!!

Rude and won?t take card if you don?t spend $10 and when you spend $10 they charge .75. Money greedy

Best doughnuts in town go early when they're warm and fresh. Mmmmm

I love the Apple Fritters that they have. My husband likes the Cinnamon Rolls.
