Customer Reviews

Amazing pastry like donuts and all organic. The best donuts I have ever had! Fantastic atmosphere and great coffee too!

Dad?s donuts is a MUST try!! The donuts are so unique & delicious. They had tons of flavors. The staff is very friendly and happy to tell you about their donut making process & to answer any questions! I got the lemon and the cinnamon sugar and ate them the same day, they far exceeded my expectations!

The BEST donuts ?? you will want to try them all! The new location has a large outdoor area with picnic tables and turf, so very nice!

The donuts are absolutely amazing, definitely a must try (the almond crunch was my favorite!) And the service was absolutely incredible. Hands down the best service I?ve received anywhere since Covid, everyone was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We went with two small children and everyone made sure we had everything we needed, it was super family friendly. Thank you for an amazing visit, we will definitely be back!

This place is a hidden gem! If you are looking for a unique, clean, & fresh donut you have got to try them! It?s the perfect mix between European and American donuts!

Delicious croissant style donuts! Love that they use all natural ingredients and no dyes so my kids can have them!!! ???? We?re all about supporting places like this! Love the north location so we don?t have to go downtown anymore!! The Red Leaf Organic Coffee shop that is next to it is fantastic!! Definitely give them a try! There is a parking lot right by their entrance, there are some larger tables that are great for families or small groups, and some smaller tables. Service is great and of course please

I?m glad they opened a location up north so I could finally try these 109-layered "cronuts." They are definitely different from a typical donut and have a texture similar to croissants. They taste delicious, though. I tried the vanilla and the maple, and both were some of the best donuts. I usually prefer cake donuts since they have a little more substance, and these were even better. The staff was very helpful. I was a bit confused about the location; they are actually in the Till building or "Homestead Co

Fantastic customer service and super cute decor! In a time when customer service is non-existent, the people here have gone out of their way to give us good customer service. It is my new favorite donut and coffee place. Their coffee is not burnt and their donuts are like croissants. A little pricey, but worth it for the great taste and wonderful service! I will be bringing my in-laws here when they visit next week.

I finally got the chance to stop by and try and donuts and coffee. I had lots of questions but Daniel, Elyse, and Malcolm were all so helpful! And so so friendly.

Absolutely the best donut spot in COS. The donuts are so fresh and flaky, love how many different flavors they have. The coffee is to die for, so flavorful. And I can?t get over the atmosphere this place has, the campfire style decor with the wood burning smell makes me feel so warm and cozy. Would love it if there was a light fireplace cracking sound. Definitely going back, highly recommend!

Maybe we came at a bad time, but if Sunday at 9am is a bad time for a donut shop then I don?t know what to tell you. This place has been hyped up to me for a while now, but the donuts were stale, hard, flavorless, and expensive. I have a child who I?m pretty confident would eat sugar on a brick if I gave it to her and she couldn?t finish these donuts. The extra star is for the service, as the employees at the counter were all very nice and helpful.

Love that this Dad's Donuts location us near us. Had to stop in when we drove by and saw their name on the building. Nothing like a croissant made into a donut, I've had cruffins before which are also amazing but when I kept seeing dad's donuts on my sm feeds I had to try them (downtown location). So fluffy, buttery, gooey goodness.

The best donuts (cronuts) you?ll ever eat in your life! I used to go to the downtown location, but now that this new one is open, it?s way closer to my house (dangerous lol) and I?ll be going there all the time. The donuts are super fresh with great ingredients and are the only donuts I like. Highly recommend it!

Went here in the afternoon as we never heard of it but the pics look good. Donuts tasted very stale, ended up only taking a few bites and threw the rest out.

Really, really nice staff and great donuts! Most pleasant business in town. Get the specialty ones - fantastic.

Great place! The donuts are usually gone quick so get there early! We will be back and they are opening another location off Interquest in the future!

I was super excited to go to this ?must try? shop but was really disappointed. The girl who helped me was amazing and really nice but the donuts were nasty. Super oily, stale, and no flavor besides the greasy frosting on top. Maybe you have to come the second they open in the morning but I feel like the product at 7 am and 1 pm should be the same? And $40 for 6 donuts is asinine. Couldn?t even pass off the rest of the donuts to coworkers because they all said the same thing. Boo ????

Unbelievable. I wouldn't really call them donuts....more like a croissant or turnover. Very buttery, flaky, incredible flavors. Only downside is the price, but like a good meal from an expensive restaurant, its fun to splurge every once in a while.

Donuts were great, service was not. I came in within their last hour of operation, in which they had a buy one get one deal since they had to sell the rest of their donuts. Cool. However, I had a coupon for a buy one get one that I had through the mail, which I had gave to the workers before I had any knowledge of their last hour deal. They told me the coupon wouldn't matter since id get a bogo deal anyway. Since my coupon "didn't matter" I had asked for it back just so I could save it for future usage. How

The donuts are out of this world but the service is even better! Keaton went above and beyond to ensure my roommate had the best birthday ever! We will be back for life!

These Cronuts are delicious! We got 9 different cronuts so we could try a good variety. My favorite was the maple cronut. I also got a coffee and it was delicious as well! Highly recommend this place. We will be back :)

Dad?s Donuts is awesome. Great food and friendly staff. Definitely coming back!

Our first experience at the Homestead location and OMG! I had the Passion Fruit filled donut and it was seriously life altering and the best donut of my life! I am not a huge donut fan, and this donut is absolutely to die for!! Holy moly!

It's not a donut shop. It's a cronut shop. They were ok, but not what I was looking for. Wanted donuts. They had one donut (sour cream old fashion?). Not good. I bought a milk chocolate cronut, but it wasn't. It was dark, semi sweet. Not what I wanted. Tried the donut holes. Stale and dry. Won't be going back. We're from California. When you go into a donut shop there, you get donuts. Made fresh. And variety. At least 40-50 varieties and flavors. That's what I was looking for.

Been here twice and the doughnuts here are amazing! My experiences though were tainted on both occasions by the same worker who was pretty rude. The first time was on opening day, there were no garbage bags in the bins and she was upset when garbage was thrown there unknowing there was no bag present. The second was going with my friend?s kids and puppy. We were planning to eat outside because of the puppy but she made a point to come up to us while we were in line and ask if the puppy was a service dog. I

Opened today!!!! These are great cronuts. All natural and fresh ingredients. I?ll be going back for their CLASSIC VANILLA BEAN. ??????????????

This place is amazing!?? we got a variety and everthing was delicious. And the Mocha was spot on. Definitely will be back soon.

If I could write poetry about the passionfruit donut from Dad's, I would. Best donuts in town and I WILL BE BACK.

Try the s'mores doughnut you will not regret it

Best donuts around, and the owner was super friendly on opening day

These donuts are some of best donuts I've ever eaten.

Too heavy for me. Looks great, just too many layers!! Otherwise tasty

Most amazing donuts ever! Spendy but WOW!!
