Customer Reviews

Fresh donuts and creativity in there. The outside was decorated nicely today for June 6th National Donut Day and the inside is clean. The lady working there was very nice.

Great donuts & service! Dave?s Donuts is top-notch! Fresh, delicious treats every time. Sophia was professional and amazing?great service with a smile. Highly recommend!

This place went from heroes to zeros. It's been good for years but now donuts taste bad and very oily. Looks like different people working there now. Waste of $10 . I feel like I got robbed

The problem is that they never have enough donuts. I go there about 8:00 am and they do not have much of a selection. I have tried at least 5 times and still there is only a few selections.

Dave's donuts is thee best donut shop in Fresno. This is my go-to spot every Saturday morning. Donuts are made fresh every morning and the staff is super friendly. Prices are decent for a regular dozen. ??????

The blue berry old fashion donuts are awesome. We come here a few days a week for the ham, eggs, cheese croissants. They are the bomb!!! Light and fluffy! Yummy ham and eggs! Then gooey cheese! Yum! We highly recommend this yummy place!

New to town and was wanting donuts decided to try this place and honestly it did not disappoint!! The donuts are super good. Apart from that the staff is really nice, over all creating a great and welcoming environment :)

Not entirely sure here, but I think the last time I was there the owner/cashier said they no longer made Kruellers which was such a sad day. They made the best Kruellers by far than any of the other good donut shops of this caliber in town. Still have great Old Fashioned donuts and mini-cakes(?). Obviously their regular traditional style donuts are head n shoulders above most other places around here but it was the Kruellers that really kept me going to them. Haven't found a Krueller in Fresno yet that's qu
