Customer Reviews

These Donuts ?? are Good and Fresh!! I Loved the taste. The Service was quick and Friendly at a conventional price.

From the outside, the place can be a little unassuming, but once inside you can see its appeal. It's clean and there are plenty of tables for seating to enjoy a coffee and quick bite. They have a variety of options from breakfast sandwiches to breakfast tacos, and donuts. They have a fridge full of beverages or they can make you a coffee, iced or hot. They have standard donuts or novelty donuts, whichever you prefer. The staff are nice and courteous. My go to is usually a hot coffee with an egg and sausage

I always receive great service and yummy donuts here! My favorite around here! Editing my review because we showed up at like, 9:30 to get some donuts, and they hardly had anything out, mostly kolaches. The girl at the counter said that's all they had as if they didn't plan on making anymore for the day. You're literally open till 12? ?? I don't understand that. Bogus. Bunk.

Donut started out good and then tasted sour. Coffee absolute trash. The staff handed us packets of cream and sugar and sent us in our way.

The best breakfast croissant made to order here. Fresh just made, it is just fantastic, and the donuts are delicious as well. Just get there early because it closes at noon. The atmosphere is very amene for brunch, and the prices are very cost friendly.

Great spot for breakfast. I usually get the crossiant double egg + cheese sandwich. The breakfast burrito is great also. If you love sweets order some glazed donuts/holes. Call in your order for faster pickup. P.S. the pigs in a blanket are GREAT too. My favorite is the jalapeno one.

This place is awesome, great donuts, good service..I wish there drive thru speaker was working but talking to the lady was fine and the donuts and drinks are fantastic!

They have the freshest, softest and sweetest donuts in the world. This is a must-eat item in the DFW area!

I have been coming here for a long time. This place is the best donut shop in Dallas! Donuts are so delicious while they are not oily!! And their burritos are made fresh with each order. So tasty! Must try!!

Always a great time for a quick bite or on the go with I drive through window recommend 10 out of 10

Best donut shop, always fresh and the service is always friendly

We?ve been here many times during our Dallas visits for breakfast and donuts. They have amazing pigs in a blanket and breakfast burritos. The green sauce that accompanies the burritos is spicy and delicious. The food is consistently good. Cliff?s donut shop has become a family tradition for sure.

We?ve been here a couple of times so far. The donuts and sausage rolls are great! The drive thru is very quick. When we went yesterday, one of our items was missing, so we went back (we noticed before we got out of the parking lot.) Not only did the lady at the window have our missing item without us having to ask for it, she also gave us a bag of donut holes for free! Awesome customer service; we?ll definitely be back!

A bit pricier than our usual spot, however, the apple fritter totally made up for it!! The old fashioned donut melts in your mouth. If the blueberry was made like the old fashioned it would be the best I've ever eaten, still delicious. I'll definitely come back...

Best place ever love the customers service very friendly ??

Absolutely loved this place. Not only did they have a wonderful selection of donuts, but the breakfast sandwiches were unbelievable. They were large, absolutely a meal plus for the average person. The prices were more than fair. All in all, a fantastic value stop for breakfast.

I saw this place on my way to work and decided to try it. I am so glad I did. I ordered the bacon, egg, cheese crossaint through the drive thu. The crossaint was almost as big as my face, the bacon was crispy, you could tell they used real eggs, and there wasn't grease everywhere. The crossaint itself was soft and fluffy. A plus. I just found my new breakfast spot when on the go. Thank yall!

We go to Cliff's at least once a month for kolaches, blueberry donuts and cinnamon roll donuts. Have yet to be disappointed! Everything is fluffy and fresh. Their donuts never taste heavy, oily or dry. Their service is fast and friendly. We appreciate that they have a drive thru. Check them out when you need a little something sweet!

This place is awesome! They have a drive through so quick donut runs in the morning are convenient. If you like Fuzzy's Tacos breakfast burritos this place will give em a run for their money! They are tastey and pretty big. Pricing is very reasonable and the place is clean and staff very friendly. Would definitly recomend. ??

Omgoodness...the best Apple Fritter! I also got a Breakfast Burrito with Green Sauce! My initial thought was the cost of the burrito was a bit more than I would typically pay! Well it was enough to share with a coworker and we both said it was one of the best Breakfast Burritos we have had in a long time! Ask for extra geeen sauce it was really good too! Glad I discovered this place!

These donuts are so soft and warm. Not sure if it?s because I come between 6-8 but they always seem fresh.

This is our favorite donut shop. Its convenient as a mom of 3 small kids because they have a drive though! They are super fast and friendly. We've literally been coming since I was a kid and im 29

So delicious. Try the frappe!!

Omergod I love this place. Always make good Mocha Fraps and smoothies. They are way better then Starbucks an McDonald's. I will never go anywhere else! I'd give a 20? if available!

I decided to try this place this morning. I asked the lady for a dozen glazed donuts and she tells me it's going to be 15 to 20 minutes wait. They open at 6 and I got there at 6:10. So I tell her never mind and just pay for my coffee and she tells me next time come at 6:30 WTH. I tell her maybe you should open at 6:30. Never again.

Cliffs donuts are amazing! The people who work there are so friendly and sweet. The burritos are a must have! Can't help ordering it every time we go get donuts for the kiddos.

Sausage rolls are excellent. Donuts are good and just had the breakfast burritos today, and OMG, they are the bomb!! Can't really complain about anything!

Best Donuts in Irving and Dow area. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. It great.

I?ve never had better donuts but in recent visits I?ve never received everything I ordered and paid for.

I always go here and they've always got delicious donuts. It doesn't look like much from the outside but they're definitely a great place.

As you can see, I'm back on my protein diet so I am really testing myself here! The croissants, donuts and pigs in blankets are the best! Very nice family that runs it as well.

The best donuts and best smoothie in Irving Texas hands down. And they are so friendly. I?m always here everything fresh.

Great donuts. Great people. Drive thru window makes it very lazy-friendly. Would recommend to even my greatest of foes. Nothing turns around your attitude like a great donut.

This was my first time at Cliff's donut shop I had a sausage croissant and donut holes and coffee and all of it was good the customer service was excellent and she was very polite it took a little while to the line because they have drive-thru only at this time

I grew up eating cliffs donuts till I moved to Iowa and every time I'm back in Irving I have to get up bright and early and get me some cliffs donuts and donut holes !!! Only these donuts do it for me!! Keep it up,so happy to see them still there!

Young lady is sweet and kind. Wish that they serve Cinnamon rolls early than 5:30. But they serve then after 6:30.

I like the service and the donuts are delicious. The donut holes melt in your mouth.

Great store! They even have a drive thru! It really is a hole in the wall type place. Not the cleanest or nicest looking shop but wow are their donuts and cheese Colotchie's amazing!!

Excellent and large breakfast burritos. Bacon, egg, and cheese. Unfortunately, the chorizo was discontinued months ago. It was always our favorite.

Awesome freakin donuts, especially the donut holes... my first time going about 2 weeks ago and WOW!!! I was not disappointed... i will keep going there whenever i want donuts!!!

I ordered the donuts through Uber eats and asked them to write a little note for my nephew, which they did promptly. Appreciated the effort taken to go above and beyond.

Love this place! I take my son every morning, the staff here is so nice and the coffee is always hot and fresh. Thank you ??

I love this place..the food the donuts Awesome my friend told me about this place so now I go every chance I get..

I loooove Cliffs donuts, everything they make is always fresh and hot...and they're smoothies, OMG..are soooooo good! No exaggeration, just facts!
