Customer Reviews

I showed up randomly at 2am today 6/29 because I was visiting a friend in Paso Robles. This place is open 24/7, and it had free parking and decent reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I waited for the only other customers to leave the open window for ordering, and I made my way to make my order. I was greeted by a Filipina with a very positive and friendly vibe, which was peculiar so early in the morning. She offered me cronuts, which just came out and were still warm. I took one and a Gatorade and ate i

always super friendly, we were on our way home from the hospital, (my little girl was sick and wanted a donut lol) the sweet woman behind the counter gave my daughter an extra donut and me some get better soon tricks!

Love bringing my kids here so they can pick their favorite doughnut

Every night I like to go over here and get me some donuts cuz I got the munchies and I like to stay awake every night I scoped out Paso Robles at night to make sure that people are sleeping at Goody's but keep your eyes open cuz there is women being snatched up and cops aren't doing anything about it

Great donuts!!!! Fresh, delicious and the Boston Cream filled is a must have! But on to the best part, the coffee!!!! This is the best cup I?ve had in Paso. Maybe it?s the way they brew it, maybe it?s the brand (Farmer Brothers), I don?t know, but it?s amazing and even better with donuts!!!

Old school donuts with fantastic service. Had the buttermilk bar donuts (all the flavors! Chocolate, maple, glazed and plain) so flavorful. Stopped by last night after dinner at In Bloom (delicious but we were still hungry afterwards), went back today to get another couple. Best service, so friendly. Are we stopping by tomorrow too? Maybe? ;-)

Really good donuts. A regular round dozen is $15 which is a good price. It does get more expensive if you add bars jellies twists, the fancier donuts, but even then still a good price for yummy donuts.

She is the sweetest lady! She even sang a happy birthday song to my daughter on video to show her. Donuts are always fresh and delicious ??.

Ehh, donuts are alright - not the best I've had, but not bad. The vibe was pretty on spot for what I was looking for: an old-school, down-and-dirty donut shop, no fancy $4 - $5 instagram donuts on this particular morning. In that regard, the place delivered! I will note, however, that they add a $0.50 credit card surcharge fee on orders under $5 - which I thought was going to be made illegal in CA after July 1, 2024? But then might have gotten walked back at the 11th hour...? Anyway, it's NOT clearly disclo

Great donuts and customer service. Open 24 hours is such a great addition to our small but growing town. My family loves their donuts and will forever be loyal customers.

It is 3am,the DK sign says "Open", all lights on, personnel working, making donuts. The front door locked,the DK personnel open the sliding window to greet and take my order. The nice ladies greet with welcoming,warm smiles. I ordered the ham/cheese,croissants with jalapeno,warmed up, on a 41? nite,so good! Hot coffees, warmed donut holes,warm greetings,what more can one ask? Arnold said it best,"I'll be bock!"

Friendly staff. Great donuts!

Went here late at night, and it was an experience. We asked the lady what she would recommend. She gave many great recommendations and was so passionate and kind. I?ll never forget donut lady. Yo, A-rizzle on the review mic, now. I?ve never had such a personable and enjoyable experience as this anywhere, let alone at a donut shop at 11:00 PM. I wish I had gotten donut lady?s name. She did more than serve donuts, she even told us how to reheat them after we talked a bit and she found out we weren?t eating t

I?d include pictures but I already ate the evidence before offering my two cents worth. We came in around lunchtime (11:30) so we took into consideration how long the donuts have possibly sat in the display. Yes, it looks like a very standard selection. My biggest concern is the fluffiness. I ordered a glazed donut sprinkled with coconut and a cinnamon roll . The donut was not overly glazed and there was just enough sprinkled coconut for a balanced donut. With that said, they need to work on their cinnamon

Nice little neighborhood donut shop. And they make some good donuts. Their flavored coffees are very good also. It's a blue collar place to be sure, and that suits me. Sometimes there's a little wait to be served, sometimes not. No table service, but there are a few tables if you want to eat there.

DONUTS ALL DAY EVERY DAY! What more do I have to say. Jenny was really funny and made the whole experience next level, theres a good amount of options to pick from plenty of donuts, coffee, cappuccino, and more!

Nope. Didn't like it. At all. We ordered shaved ice and the lady didn't wash her hands or change her gloves. She just grabbed the ice with her hands, and this was after handling some cash with the previous costumer. The place is also outdated and dirty.

Usually good donuts in the a.m. but late night have not been so amazing since covid. Probably due to lack of customers with the lockdown. People seem to be getting out more so maybe more fresh donuts will be cooked more often thannyheybhad been lately.

My husband and I have been getting donuts and coffee from D K?s for years! We travel from Phoenix to the Monterey area a couple of times a year. On our way home, early in the morning, we always stop for the best donuts and coffee ever! Everything is super fresh and we?ve always had excellent customer service. You won?t be disappointed!

The lady that works there is so friendly and she makes to best chocolate cream filled. This business has been around forever and will probably outlast all the other stores nearby like it has done for years. DK's Donuts is about the only place in town that stays open 24 hours too. Love her donuts and love the staff.

24 hrs of the best donuts in town and nicest people you've ever met

Fast friendly service, great donuts

This has been the best donut shop for years. Simple nice and always open just as a donut shop should be. And if you have a dog the ladies hand out dog treats. Super nice

Great place ! Great people ! Great location ! Jeannie is such a gem ??. If you have a favorite she will tell you when they are fresh out of the oven. This place is truly a part of our community.

Good doughnuts, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Upon arriving, the older woman behind the counter had an attitude, and when my family and I were about to sit and eat our doughnuts, she tells us they are closing at 5, and it was 4:59pm. The lit sign by the entrance illuminated the phrase open 24 hours, but I guess that pertained only to the window. Would be nice if she had the courtesy to let us know prior. I will gladly take a longer drive to receive better customer service.

I've been coming to this DK'z sine 92' wen I first relocated to this county their donuts are always fresh never disappointed with the quality that said they haven't had much of a selection late at night I know whenever I've gone there's always customers I'd say they would benefit from having a bit more of a selection for their evening customers , I do know they make & replenish their donuts in the early morning hours in time for breakfast but at times I know that they don't last long either, their prices ar

Love DK's!! Always Great! Always Made Fresh Daily! Amazing Staff and Customer Service!

Always a great experience at DKs! Their donuts are wonderful and the employees are kind and helpful.

Amazing donuts here and very friendly people running it. Got two chocolate covered and a glazed plus a coffee. Coffee was really good and tasted fresh. Made it a good morning for me!

Hands down, the greatest donut shop in existence. Not only does it have a large selection to choose from, but the service is just fantastic! If you have time and a craving for freshly delicious donuts, then DK?s is the place for you. I traveled up from Santa Barbara just to get their delicious cake donuts!

If your in the Paso Area it's a must try for that sweat tooth craving. My wife was in the mood for a good donut and we stumbled onto D. K.'s and THEIR donuts are AMAZING. One of the best donuts we ever had. A donut gem tucked away in Paso Robles.

I've been going to dks for years. Nothing better than a good donut! Having grown up in paso I've had many trips to dks! The donuts at dks have definitely been lacking in the past year, very disappointed ??! So much so that I felt the need to write a review, hopefully they can step it up

Best apple fritter I've ever had by a wide margin. Just awesome donuts. Stop here every time I'm in Paso. Fortunately that's only every 6 weeks or so or I'd weigh like 400 pounds.

I've been to all of the donut shops in town and I will drive past all of them to come here. The service is great and the donuts are fresh and delicious.

Love that they are open 24/7 good selection and yummy to boot. Can?t believe it?s 20 bucks for a dozen donuts tip included, I guess that?s everywhere nowadays .

My go-to for donuts, fresh, great quality donuts.If you're early enough you can get them hot. Friendly efficient staff.

I have been going to DK's since the late 80's each owner/ manager styles have been a little different. Now I don't get the hometown feel like I remember that kept me coming back before. Now it's like a ritual when I stop in. The doughnuts are the best in town as always.

Best donut place around. Good prices & delicious donuts. If you are looking for great taste and not fancy creations this is the place to go! Wonderful staff too!

Donuts are great Service is great Nasty tasting water used in shaved ice.....

Amazing place. Best donuts I've had in a long time. And the shaved ice was a plus for my wife.

I?m not sure if it was the owner or what but the lady working the night shift was super sweet and funny. The donuts are great and you can buy your milk to go along with your treats right there.

Open 24 hours. And I always get shown love with extra doughnuts. Good thing cuz the doughnuts are very tasty. Staff is always cheerful

Best donuts I ever had!

Amazing Donuts, just like a posh bakery! Great selection and the prices were reasonable. We really enjoyed them, check them out and you will too.

If you haven't met Jeannie, you haven't experienced DK's! She makes everyone smile and feel welcome. And the donuts are great too!

It was late in the night we wanted donuts so drove in and we couldent see what thay had thru the little side window. So were looking from the door from outside and not a bunch to choose from but then the lady walks over and moves the trays and then with her bare hand she starts grabbing and moving the donuts to other trays dirty hands. We just walked away not even sure is thay could speek English

I love DK's!! Our favorite place to grab late night donuts. They have a great selection of donuts and are always so nice! Would reccomend their donuts & coffee any time.

Just too pricey for me I bought two maple and bacon bars and a fritter and an O.J and it cost me $12.00+ change. The donuts were good. Not the best. Service was ok. But man too pricey for a donut.

I love their sprinkle donuts and their stuffed croissants are amazing I only go very early in the morning when I get off work and the customer service is phenomenal.

Was.late & the woman that served me was very nice. I will go back. So hard 2 find anything open in Paso 2 even get coffee( Which was good) but donuts too was a pleasant surprise. Thsnk you.

Havent stopped in for 10 years & got a hankering for a fresh donut. Best fresh donuts in town! Glad they're still here.

Doughnuts were ok. Doughnuts are very big, coffee is weak. The three stars is more because of the coffee. A doughnut experience to me is also based on the coffee; the two are inseperatable.

Awesome. Cheerful happy helper when you walk in and the donuts are always fresh and delicious. Yum yum yum ??

The lady at the counter was an absolute joy, very accommodating and friendly!

Omg more than just donuts it's a way of life. If someone could have told me 5 years ago I'd be here I would not have believed them

Wonderful experience! Perfect fresh and soft donuts that last. Buy the dozen and keep the closed.

The doughnuts probably would have been pretty good if they weren?t semi stale... Now I understand why I was given a couple extra for free.

If you love coffee & donuts (day or @ night) this is the 'place'! Large variety of donuts/pastries & good "hot" coffee!! It is the only donut shop in town (24/7)

really cheap and tastey but the bad ingredients made me really sick. The owner told me she doesn't even eat these doughnuts because she doesn't want to get fat.

Happy atmosphere with very friendly employee. Lots of family traffic and plenty of space to sit and drink some coffee for groups of 4 or less.

Nice, friendly shop. Good quality product: fritter and a cinnamon roll. .$5

They have a Ham & Cheese Croissant ~ that when Heated, Melts in the Mouth,, Really Good

I always have a wonderful experience there. Good service and a very friendly environment. The ham and cheese with jalapenos on a croissant is yummy !!

Best donuts when you get there in morning. But , the lady who works the counter at night is a delight !

Obviously, the earlier you go in the day, the fresher the donuts. They have a delicious variety and I have never been unhappy with their service.

I go there about every Friday and it's just the best. Great people, great donuts. Nothing but the best!

Reasonable prices and very tasty everything that sells there only that this woman is very offered and slippery with every man who arrives there ..... that's why we visited that place should respect the married men ....

Thwy make some pretty good doghnuts and if you get ther around 330 - 4 am you can get some fresh ones

When you just have to get out and it's 1:00 A M with nothing open. After the smile and big choice of donuts be sure and ask to try the Lumpas

They make the best doughnuts. Nice pleasant ladies that work. Efficient. Quick service.

Good doughnuts, she sneaks in an extra doughnut everytime we go(as a good gesture) but I think she charged us for it as well lol.

The owner is a sweetheart!! We will definitely be coming back for her delicious donuts and happy spirit!!

I got day old donuts only cause I went there at 12 am... So.. But they were still yummy!

Good doughnuts in the morning/midmorning. Good blended coffee. The later you go in the day the doughnuts are hit and miss.

Best place in town, always open, and the guy below saying no apple in a bear claw, haha are you stupid? Best apple fritter every had

Holly molly! This place is awesome, stupid big donuts are amazing... I can't believe how good these donuts are

Good donuts, good selection. She threw in free donut holes. I'll definitely return

All of a sudden no food stamps pretty sure I just used my card there recently and staff was very short or curt with customers.

These are the best donuts I've ever had. Great service also.

I like their donuts, coffee not so much. Fast service, good orices, what more could ask for?
