Craft Donuts & Coffee

Reviews Summary

The consensus is overwhelmingly positive, with most reviewers praising the freshly made, warm donuts for their perfect texture—crispy outside, soft and airy inside—and delicious flavors. Many highlight the unique made-to-order concept, friendly service, and excellent coffee. Seasonal and specialty flavors like maple bacon, cinnamon roll, and strawberry matcha stand out. A few note minor disappointments with drinks or filling, but the majority call these the best donuts they've ever had, worth returning for. The rare negative review mentions greasiness and poor value, but this is an exception.

Customer Reviews

Perfect cake donuts. Light and flavorful. The strawberry matcha donut was a standout. Did not try the coffee.

This place is great. We went to the food truck and I placed an order for a dozen. Glaze, strawberry, maple and chocolate. They said it would be about 10 minutes. They were fresh and a couple were even a little crispy (from being fried) on the outside and delicious. They were different than a lot of chain donuts and more of a funnel cake type. The service was good and the staff was nice. Very good local donut place with some cool branding

First time in Santa Fe, and this was the first place I swung by for coffee. I didn?t expect these donuts to be SO good. They make them to order, and when I got them back to our Airbnb, they were still warm. The flavors are fun and the ingredients are so fresh. I wish I had this food truck near me so I could visit every week! Definitely some of the best donuts I?ve had.

DELICIOUS!! We were in Santa Fe on a vacation, and I found this place after searching for Santa Fe's best donuts. I believe the donuts are made fresh when you order them, so you do have to wait a while, but the wait is so worth it! These were some of the best donuts I've ever had! If you're in Santa Fe, and you love donuts, do not miss this place!

quite possibly the best cinnamon cake donut i've ever had. daughter loved the cookies and cream and the homer.

Like many of the reviews have said, hands down the best donuts we?ve ever had!!! We got the turtle, funnel cake, cinnamon roll, and old fashion cake donuts. Make sure to eat then while they are warm! I saved some to keep for later, but they were not as yummy as they were fresh. You should definitely make sure to stop here!!

It doesn't matter what flavor you order, these donuts are spectacular! Probably the best donut I've had in my life. I've had both Voodoo and Blue Star donuts many times. I would recommend ordering one of a more simple flavor to enjoy the high quality donut itself.

We ordered a dozen doughnuts and they were all delectable ??! They weren't overly sweet and had zero grease; they were perfect! We also had a hot coco and an Italian soda that were equally delicious. The owner and staff are friendly. The young man putting the doughnuts together is an artist; I almost didn't want to eat them, they were so beautiful ??. I recommend Craft Donuts & Coffee!

The donuts were made when you ordered it. It was crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The wait time was less than 2 minutes, and the lady was really nice.

Dropped by here Saturday morning based on a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. Wow! The donuts are fresh off the line and made to order. The cinnamon sugar are great - light, fluffy, and slightly crispy on the outside. I decided to try the Turtle and wow oh wow. Chocolate with caramel and pecans. Good stuff!

They no longer make donuts at the food truck location. The best thing about this place was their fresh donuts and they stopped making them onsite. Not worth the price or visit anymore.

WOW! My eyes have been opened. I have never had "fresh" "hot" donuts in my life and this is a game changer. The donuts are (obviously) made-to-order hot and fresh, so expect some frosting/chocolate dripping if you're not fast enough to eat it all, but that shouldn't be a struggle because these donuts are A-MAZING! I ordered mine online ahead of time, but they still churn out the donuts pretty quickly if you order at their truck. Friendly folks running the joint as well. This is a must-go spot for tourist

First time ever having freshly made doughnuts. After sampling some of Craft Donuts produce I finally understand all the fuss about doughnuts. These were melt in the mouth delicious. I had two Traditional and a S'mores, all perfect. Highly recommended, friendly folk too ??

Amazing donuts! I usually don?t like cake donuts, but the freshly made to order cinnamon sugar donut was to die for ?? Boyfriend really liked the custom one he built (fruity pebbles) and the strawberry shortcake.

The absolute best doughnuts I?ve ever had. The vanilla glaze and cinnamon roll were so incredible, i had to stop back on our way out of town.

I came across this gem because it was walking distance from my Airbnb but I definitely will be coming back even if I have to drive to it. The donuts were delicious and hot, fried right there just for you and the coffee was wonderful! I recommend the cinnamon roll and the glazed donuts! Cannot recommend this place enough, it?s great, the people inside are friendly and it?s nice to support local food trucks :)

Ordered donuts to be delivered for a friend's birthday -- awesome selection, super-prompt service, and the cherry on top is that the donuts were still warm when my friend received them!

Best donuts in town, easily. Make sure to sign up for their newsletters so you can get the occasional 10% off coupon and info on their seasonal flavors. My go to is The Unicorn ??

Donut food truck what!! Yes. I?m not certain but the donut tasted very fresh was super hot so I think they fry them fresh to order. I had them trade the vanilla for chocolate on the cinnamon donut. Light and crispy outside with a soft yummy inside cake like donut. Also ordered a chai latte which was one of the best I?ve had in quite some time. People in line were raving about the funnel cake and s?mores varieties. I?m not sure you can go wrong here. Worth a stop in to try it out.

I?m surrounded by donut and coffee shops, but Craft Donuts & Coffee is my preferred location for fresh donuts and Java! They never disappoint, wait time is minimal, and their staff is ALWAYS friendly. Their online ordering option is great option so there?s absolutely no wait when you get to the truck.

Hot fresh donuts. What more do you need. All the flavors are amazing and the people working there are so nice. Fluffy on the inside with a bit of crunch on the outside. Kind of a cross between cake donuts and yeast texture. Can?t wait to go back.

We went to the new location 3482B Zafarano Drive. Fresh! Delicious! Warm right out of the cooker lol ?? customer service was excellent!!! Hands down best donut shop.

The donut was spectacular, very fresh. It was unique in the sense that the donut was rigid to hold, but gave way at first bite to a soft, lightly crispy smorgasbord of flavor. Despite it's delicate mouth feel, it stayed rigid in the hand. The hot chocolate was mid at best. The whipped cream carried the first few sips, but gave way to a watery finish. The base seemed to be water or skim milk, flavored with a visible powder.

Absolutely thrilled with these donuts! Each bite was a delightful combination of crunchiness and fresh flavors that danced on my taste buds. The exterior had a perfect golden crisp, while the inside remained soft and airy. The variety of flavors offered was impressive, and each one was more delicious than the last. It's clear that high-quality ingredients and careful craftsmanship went into making these treats. I can?t wait to share them with friends and family. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulg

Light and fresh, these made to order donuts were the best - and delicious - way to start the day. Coffee was hot and good, and of course we tried the cinnamon roll donut (and classic glaze and chocolate). You can also call ahead to order a dozen. Enjoy!

Donuts made to order? Yes, please! Literally the best donuts I've ever had in my life. The staff is friendly and the food truck is tidy and approachable. Great prices, too!

We're visiting Santa fe during our road trip through the US. We've found the place thanks to Google comments and wow those donuts are absolutely awsome. It's by far the best we've ever eat. For sure we're coming back tomorrow to try other tastes. They are very savoury, fresh, cryspy and the chocolate sauce is amazing for chocolate lovers. Well be back ??

Truly a "Craft" experience! We have been wanting to stop by for a long time, glad we were finally able to! These Donuts are truly amazing oh, we'll be making yet a regular stop. Great job guys!

Literally the best freaking donuts I have ever had. Fresh out of the fryer. Crispy, hot, delicious!!

Holy cow!! These are incredible donuts! I had been searching for that perfect donut the last 3 years and have finslly found it!! Fluffy, tender insides that are lightly sweetened with a crispy crunchy bite on the outside topped with the perfect toppings of your liking or a specialty donut already created for you! The maple bacon was gone too soon and every last morsel throughly enjoyed!! The Boston cream had actual cream and so delicious, not the gross fake filling found in most... the best donuts, hands do

It said it was up for renovation to no they downgraded and took out there fryer no more fresh donuts I would rate it a 5 if they put it back

I wasn't expecting much but ??. Hot fresh made to order. Best donut ?? ever. We had smore and Boston cream ??. It's not your grocery store donut. I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't review the brews.

The most amazing fresh melty lightest cake donuts I have ever had!!!! And Italian soda with whipped cream ??????

Freshest donut I?ve ever had! The maple bacon was excellent but guessing everything on the menu is awesome! And the latte is one of the best! Can?t wait to go back tomorrow!

They closed at 2pm and I got there about 5 minutes after and they were still cheerful and let me order. Definitely don't try to eat two. What a friendly and delicious spot. Warm fresh made donuts to order. Perfect crispy outside and delightful warm inside.

Coffee was really good but the donuts tasted strongly of not the freshest oil

This food truck is amazing from the drinks to the donuts that melt in your mouth good!!! We came a few days in a row! The guy working was incredibly nice too.

Truly some of the best donuts we have ever had. Warm, light, and covered with delicious glaze and sprinkles

Paid 32 dollars for 13 donuts. I bought the signature donuts. They had minimal filling , which melted due to the hot donut and were greasy. 9 of the 13 went in the trash. They are great first made but not edible by the time I got home. First and last trip there.

A friend of a friend recommended Craft Donuts, so we knew it would be pretty good but had no idea how good. The donuts are made fresh, and are absolutely delicious, and the customer service is awesome. The area where the donuts are made is spotlessly clean. This is definitely our new favorite place and we will drive from Albuquerque to get these donuts, the quality is incomparable!

The best donuts I?ve ever had! And I am old and experienced at eating them.

Strawberry matcha latte was amazing!

Open and serving the best hot fresh donuts I?ve ever had! Not expensive either! Amazing !!! Must try before you leave the city

We are visiting for the month and have been here more times than I?d like to admit. Legit the best donut we?ve ever had. So good!

Each donut is made to order so expect to wait a bit. We were there early on a Friday am and waited 15 minutes for a dozen donuts. They were SO WORTH the WAIT! Great concept and execution!

To be honest, I?m not a fan of donuts but my husband is. He picked himself up some from the Craft Donuts truck and said they were amongst the best. So I tried some. These donuts are made fresh to order and really are delicious. We both highly recommend.

Never had a doughnut this freaking amazing! Also there is nothing like meeting an old friend who works there! Great experience thank you so much Mickey!

This is literally the best donut I?ve had in my life, and one of the highlights and favorites I get to treat myself with when we travel to Santa Fe each year. The cake donut has the most perfect crisp and best flavor.

An absolute must!! Friendly staff, great prices and delicious donuts that are made fresh to order, you can select from their menu or choose to customize your own! They also offer amazing locally roasted premium coffee as well as a full espresso bar featuring a variety of flavors and alternate milk options.

DoNut pass this place up! It was amazing. The donut flavors and options were super. Coffee also amazing. We had the Unicorn, Turtle, the Homer, the Orange Dream, the Cinnamon Roll, Caramel Apple. And they were all served warm!! ???????? All 5/5. Thx for the experience!!

Awesome donuts! Probably some of the best that I have ever had!

Seriously the best donut I have ever had! They make them to order, yum! Just do it.

Absolutely delicious fresh donuts. We try to stop by whenever we?re in town. We haven?t had a bad flavor yet.

Amazing donuts, chai latte and service. Fun quick stop before a bike ride.

Literally the best donut I?ve ever had in my life ( turtle ) don?t pass this place up! I?m so glad we didn?t!

Made-to-order donuts forever changed my expectation of a what is a ?great donut.? Oh, and the coffee is pretty good too ;-)

These donuts are amazing if you haven?t had a chance to stop by make sure you go! Every month they have different flavors that?s what I really enjoy! The truck is conveniently located downtown right across from Kaune?s market! There?s a lot of other amazing food trucks down there, but these guys are the only sweet thing in the lot! Make sure you stop by you won?t regret it. Top shelf donuts. I?ll have to take a picture next time I get some they?re so good I forget to do it. I eat them right away.

The best donuts I've had... Ever. Made fresh right in front of us! Coffee is delicious as well!

Hands down the best donut I have had in a long time! So so good, what a treat.

I love this mobile donut establishment here in Santa Fe. I think they are the best donuts in town, hands down. They are light and fluffy, fresh and tasty - whenever I bring a box down to work, they are gobbled up immediately. Always given to you with a smile, this place has it going on. Love being one of their patrons. Keep up the awesome work!

Best donuts in Santa Fe! September seasonal matcha strawberry was my favorite.

Craft Donuts & coffee is soooo good! I love it! ?? Definitely going to be a regular there!!!!!

best freshly made donuts ever! what an amazing experience for your taste buds!

This is not only the best donut I've had in my life, it's also the best donut I could hope to have in the future. Absolute perfection.

A must stop off for freshly made varieties; and seasonal options anytime of year! Tour the tastings!

Great little food truck that makes fresh delicious donuts. Fluffy and not dense, and not greasy either. I really liked Matcha strawberry but we liked every single one we tried - even the plain donut. They can get busy some mornings (I went on a weekday) but it's worth the wait

Really interesting concept, and super delicious! I have never seen a donut made to order and it was fun to watch. Great flavors, highly recommend.

We came down from Minnesota to get away from the snow. We did not get away from the snow, however, we got donuts so freaking good we forgot that we are still standing in snow.

Craft Donuts & Coffee is one of my favorite coffee places. I go there every most days and the employees now know me by name which is sweet. They always make my drinks right and pretty quickly which is great. Today I got my latte, per usual, but accidentally spilled it as soon as i got home. I went back and explained what happened and they happily made me a new one free of charge. i?m so grateful. I love supporting local coffee places, especially when they?re as nice as these guys are??

Freshly fried and made to order! These were some of the best donuts I?ve had in years. The seasonal Cardamom & Pistachio was fantastic, but just simple chocolate glazed and cinnamon sugar really let the quality of the fresh donut shine. Great coffee, too. So happy we found this place.

This food truck deserves every 5-star review. They fry every donut fresh and attain a beautiful crunch on the outside of the donut while it's still so fluffy on the inside. Truthfully the best donut I've ever had. Melt-in-your-mouth status. To top it off, the coffee was also delicious! I got the classic maple donut, turtle donut, and caramel latte. My friends who also had a variety of different things gave the same review.

OMG - these donuts are heaven on earth! We have been in Santa Fe for a week and have eaten at The Shed, The Burger Stand on Burro Alley for a green chile burger, Rancho de Chimayo, El Chile Toreado, and Joe's Tequila House -- all super delicious. And yet, we enjoyed our best bite of Santa Fe here at Craft Donuts & Coffee. The plain classic donut our favorite, next to the cinnamon sugar in a close second. The freshly cooked donuts have an amazing crust, crunchy yet the inside soft and warm. You have to try

The customer service was absolute sub par . I was not happy with the quality of products they serve at all . I would not recommend this to anyone

No more fresh doughnuts bummer . Lost my visits .

Great food truck for a little something sweet after getting spicy street tacos a couple trailers over. Fresh donuts are amazing.

GET YOURSELF HERE RIGHT NOW. I'll wait. This coffee and donut spot is my new favorite in the entire state. The donuts are crafted to order and are warm, crispy, and perfectly textured. They serve Red Rock Roasters coffee and have a full espresso bar menu. Expect to wait a few minutes for your order- I waited about 13 minutes and it was BEYOND worth it. I mean, the quality is unbelievable and perfection takes time. The funnel cake donut is my favorite but the sugared classic donuts are just delicious- si

This may be the best donut I've ever had. We stopped in early in the morning on our way back to west Texas after a nice long weekend in Santa Fe. The donuts were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and not greasy at all. Some donuts leave a film in your mouth after eating, but not these. They were outstanding. Recommended: pb&c, maple bacon, cinnamon roll. No question we will be back next time we are in Santa Fe.

OH. MY. GOODNESS. I loved it! I would advise the cinnamon roll and the s?mores. Definitely go if you?re ever downtown!

If you haven't tried these gourmet donuts, you need to stop waiting! Our favorites are the vanilla fruity pebble and pumpkin. (You can't go wrong with any flavor!) Recently, we always order online, but had some technical difficulties. When picking up, order was never received and it was almost closing time. Instead of telling us better luck next time, they whipped up a fresh batch of batter and put in our order. They didn't have to do that, and we sure appreciate them going above and beyond! Thank yo

Staying in Santa Fe for a bit and stumbled across the food truck on a morning walk. Probably the best donuts I've ever had, hands down. Coffee was great too. Just be aware it's a food truck with no nearby seating, so you may have to walk to find a bench unless you want a mess on your hands.

I've never had a donut that was still warm from just to being made before just now. Give this business all of your money, it's worth it ????

Absolutely the best donuts ive ever had. So fresh perfect size and wonderful customer service! 100% recomend. We about got 1 of everything and i dont have a dislike so far (making this review as were eating them) i got the pumpkin cheesecake and maple bacon and husband got like four others. Hands down the best donut was the pumpkin cheesecake.

Turn your donut into a sundaes , they are so bomb. All special are really tasty.. Mix it up

The donuts are so good! Even hours later when they weren?t hot anymore they were still soft, moist and delicious with a crispy outside and a sweet flavor. Great prices too.

Waaaay too greasy. Tasted more oil than dough. Definitely greasiest donut I?ve ever had

I won't lie, I wasn't expecting much when I walked up to see a food truck, but these are possibly the best donuts I've ever had. They come out FRESH and are lovely & airy so you don't feel weighed down. Maple bacon was glorious, and the Homer was the perfect sweetness to end on. I'm upset I'm just visiting and can't get these all the time. If you like donuts AT ALL, do it. Get two.

Love love love! Flavors are great Taste is amazing Customer service i outta this world! Can't wait to get down to Santa fe to try more flavors! If you all haven't tried Craft Donuts yet... what are you waiting for? You will be happy you made a stop!

Absolutely the Best Donuts you will ever eat. Hot and Delicious.
