The smell of this place brought me in. I was out riding my motorcycle at 4am when I picked up a waft of delicious donut bakery smell, looked over and saw the sign and quickly made a u turn. Went up to the door before they were open and they let me in, saw them baking everything on a Sunday morning. The guy was super friendly and cool and told me to come on in. Got a half dozen of the best donuts and ate two of them at their table outside. Def gonna go back and see what else they got. The smell of them bakin
If I could give 10 stars I would. If you haven't tried them and are a donut lover, do it now. The texture is a light crisp shell, with soft freshness inside, indescribable goodness. Want a filled long john? They filling while you wait with what can only be described as heavenly goodness. No day old b.s here. Our weekend go to for the last 2 months whenever we manage to find the time to get there, we do. If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Kee
It's a donut shop, so service and atmosphere are bland. But to me, that's completely normal for a donut shop. I haven't been to a donut shop that made me feel differently. They have good variety of donuts that taste great, the person at the counter hooks it up quickly and you're on your way. We drive south to grab them monthly. I definitely recommend this over EVER buying donuts from a grocery store.
This donut place is now Amazing Glaze with new owners and unfortunately it's no different than when it was Daylight donuts. I've been to other Amazing Glaze franchises and they're always stock full of donuts and their displays are never empty so when I found out that this place was bought by Amazing Glaze I got excited. What a disappointment to find out that they're the exactly the same, if not worse than Daylight donuts. Ordered their 1/2 dozen, a dozen donut holes, and a twist online. The 1/2 dozen says i
Staff was super nice and ready to help however. The donuts are amazing! Fresh and pillow-y with the best cream filling (which they fill while you wait!) I have had all 4 fillings and not 1 disappoint! Absolute delicious! Hell, my husband and I thought about starting a donut shop because most donuts are just meh at this point. Except for here! These are the best and I wouldn't even attempt to do a better job!
Good old classic donuts! I tried their cake, raised and old fashioned donuts. The raised glaze donuts were light and fluffy. The cake was soft with a crumbly interior. My favorite was the old fashioned specifically the chocolate and maple, practically melted in my mouth they were so delicious. Looking forward to trying all their donuts.
I honestly have no clue what all these bad reviews are about! These are the BEST donuts around according to my husband and kids, who are SUPER picky with donuts and sweets! We have tried ALL to donut shops around. From south Denver to Ft Collins. NoNe of which compare to these! ESPECIALLY if you get there early and they are super fresh (like mine were this morning and every other time I have made the trek up here. I'm in Thornton and it's about a 20 min drive up here every time we (well, I) come. Hands down
These are, by FAR, the best donuts that I have had! I travel about 15 miles to get these donuts! I am so highly satisfied with the donuts and the great service! I had to delete my 4star for a 5 star because this am has redeemed. It's been abiut a month since I've been and my husband said he needed his donut fix! So up early and off I go! Did NOT disappoint! Now my husband AND kids are happy! Well the kids will be when they wake up! This is THE place, for donuts! And the price is super reasonable for the amo
Donuts Are Always Amazing! We luv them & found just what we wanted today.. they're so Good, sometimes they go fast! Service today.. 10:15.. young lady not the friendliest.. I understand, not big conversation..but at least greet a person!
This donut shop is a disaster and honestly should be shut down. The donuts were dry, flavorless, and tasted like they?d been sitting out for days. The hygiene was questionable, with a messy display. The staff was rude and unprofessional. Definitely not a place you want to support. Avoid at all costs. Not worth your money or time
I used them for a Easter Egg Hunt and they were fantastic to work with! They did an exceptional job of getting everything ready for me day of and the donuts were raved about at the event! I appreciate them working with me on the event and would recommend them to everyone!
The donuts here are very good, and all of the employees are super nice! I also love all of the donut themed decor they have
Won't go back. Used to the best place for donuts but not anymore. I was the only one in line, the lady who was helping didn't seem like she wanted to help and I was almost bothering her for being there ordering donuts. I was an inconvenience. She wouldn't tell me any flavors of the donuts when I asked she was annoyed. The selection sucked. She also had long hair in a ponytail and kept throwing her hair around. She put a donut on a box of gloves ?? while she got a bag. Don't recommend! Worst $15. I'll go to
Used to be my favorite donut place until management changed or something the lady that used to run it was completely awesome and so nice. Now when you call and do an order for pickup, the lady sounds like you're calling a detention center and you still order dozens of donuts for your child's Christmas party in good faith go pay almost $100 for his classroom donuts only to open them up and find out they are yesterday's donuts and not assorted by any manner. Looks like yesterday's leftovers. Very disappointed
My daughter asked for donuts to bring to school today for her birthday. I called a week in advance to order 24 of her favorite kind of donut to bring. The employee working took my order, my name and phone number and even read everything back to me (including the date and time I wanted to pick up). I go to pick up my order this morning and they had no record of my order at all and said they could just give us 24 assorted of what was left in the case (which were extremely picked over). Extremely disappointed
Super nice people. They accommodated me and my needs, wanted coffee and donuts for my customers at an event. Will go back. The atmosphere need some sprucing up. But that won't stop good service. These people got it
My husband and I stopped in today. We were greeted by a bald guy. Who seemed very nice & helpful. Then all of a sudden a lady with blue eyes appeared from we don't know where. But she rushed us and was very rude. We were trying to order a dozen of donuts but no one was really telling us which flavors of donuts there were. My husband felt she was very rude & rushing us. Not sure why it was only 10 a.m. But I will never return, and I thought I liked this place. Not anymore
This is a great, local Dacono donut shop with friendly service. There is a large variety of donuts and fillings which is a favorite of one of my family members. There is some outside seating too. Someone kindly gifted my family member with a box of Daylight Donuts by ordering ahead and asking for specific fillings and this gift was a huge hit!
Updated review 10/6/24 New owners is a big plus , the donuts taste better then the old owners, they are fresh and the place looks so much better and it don't feel dirty in there like it did , the old owner did not care ,so happy to see this place on the right path, so if you need donuts in Frederick go stop by it's nice to have a good local place again. The only reason I did not give five star on the food. Is the chocolate on top of the donuts need a little more flavor. Stopped here one morning. Really ea
Great spot for doughnuts!!!! If you have dogs they sell little doggy doughnuts and the dogs friggin lovem
The most wonderful little donut and ice cream shop. The owners are so sweet and kind every single visit. They do birthday donuts and they are AMAZING!! Better than actual donuts ??
These are Littarly the best doughnuts within 100 miles! The ladies that work there are so nice and kind and you can't beat the country hospitality!
Fast, friendly service. I recommend the pinecones which are almost a meal in themselves! We also tried the apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and old fashioned donuts which were also delicious.
I adore going to place! They have one of the best and delicious donuts I ever had, and the prices are affordable too. I like how you can get your own donut filled depending on what you want. Love going here to get donuts!
I went by the shop and picked up 6 pinecones for the office. The donuts were amazing, one of the best specialty donuts I've ever had. The price for these specialty donuts was less than I normally pay for regular donuts. I did call in and make a special order. This shop knows their regulars and makes the exact amount of donuts they need each day. But ordering ahead is easy since they are open pretty late, and are super friendly when you call. Trust me the pre-planning is worth it, these are great donuts.
Some of the best donuts I?ve had in recent times, and I get donuts every Sunday after climbing. Got there just before closing, super friendly and helpful staff, even sent us home with a few extras as they were closing soon. Nice crisp on the dough, but super fluffy inside. Not overly glazed, or dipped. Very happy we went the extra town over to try somewhere new.
I always visit here when I come to Colorado. I lived in this area almost 12 yrs ago, and it was good to see that it was still going well. You can sit and talk, have a coffee, and enjoy one of their great homemade sandwiches that Linda makes. On a sad note I found out that there are going to be new owners soon. And they are already talking about changes. It's a small country place that has a great atmosphere and really should continue as such. That's why they lasted so long. Hope it's still around next time
The donuts are delicious the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is friendly. Katrina is so sweet and amazing!! Great upgrade ?? ??
This was the first time that I actually went there myself. I've had donuts there a couple of times when bought by other people and I had to go see for myself. Really nice atmosphere, real mom and pop feeling to it. I just I just really liked it and they're donuts are amazing
I have to write this review. I've gotten donuts here a few times, and they are good dont get me wrong but the customer service is trash. The owner (older lady) is so rude. She doesn't know how to talk to people with respect or will just straight up ignore you and talk to the customer behind you. You have to catch her on a good day to get treated right. So sad. My family and I will not be returning here for donuts. I'd rather go somewhere else and get donuts and not get treated like this.
This location has been here since the beginning ??. They have great donuts and are very consistent in great quality products. Thanks Daylight Dacono.
Amazing donuts. You better get here early or order ahead because if you snooze you definitely lose. I rolled in at about 730 on a Saturday and was lucky to get out with what I wanted! Support a local business and check them out!!!
This place has the best apple fritters I?ve ever had. Great ice cream, donuts, the staff is awesome and the best part is they even have ice cream cups for your dogs in several different flavors!
This place is sold out of doughnuts literally every single time I pull up no matter how early. The place is a joke. The lady that works there is rude, says you have to call in to order doughnuts... every other doughnut shop has doughnuts available from open to close. Why can't this place? You shouldn't have to call and "pre-order" doughnuts at a doughnut shop.
Website and posted sign state hours M-F 5am-9pm. Came here on Monday 5:45pm, made a special trip here and it is closed. Super not cool. Very disappointed.
Great donuts. I got there late so did not have many jelly filled. but that says alot about their donuts, if the community is buying them out. I go here every time I am in the area
You know what I love about Daylight Donuts in Dacono? It's not just the amazing donuts - although those are definitely a big part of it. It's the absurdly friendly lady who runs the place. Seriously, she's like a ray of sunshine on even the dreariest of days. From the moment you walk in, she's greeting you with a smile and asking how your day is going. And if you're a regular, she remembers your name and your usual order - it's like a little slice of hometown hospitality. And let's talk about the donuts the
Great donuts and biscuits and gravy. They have a good selection of donuts and breakfast items, and ice cream. They even have dog donuts?? Local artists sell goods here. Get there early for the best selection they are very popular.
The donuts are always hard And dry. Ever since they got new owners they raised the prices. You would use to buy two donuts for $6 or less now you would pay about $14
Every time I come here they have old nasty doughnuts. Or they don't have any at all. I would definitely not recommend this place on there best day. Also the employees are rude and very pushy. FYI I have never ordered anything from your place.. I would walk into the shop. And like I said everything was gone or old and nasty. Your 2 female employee's seem to hate there job the way they talk and treat the customers. Also a little tip hire more people to work so you can accommodate the demand. The place need
Always great!! My family lives right around the corner, and it is always a treat to come get fresh donuts here! Owner and staff are great!!
Was very disappointed when being told the donut shop couldn?t fill a 2 dozen donut order before 520 am and they open at 5. I?ve frequented here often but after other customers were made the priority even tho they still had 40 minutes to fulfill and had 2 dozen extras on the rack very disappointing I use to provide business often but will not be returning after this mornings experience. Never been to a donut shop that doesn?t have the ability to make more donuts.
These were some of the best donuts ive ever had! The customer service was great, even though the store was busy. I cant wait to come back and try some of the other dishes. I reccomend the cinnamon rolls!
This is a real donut shop, the kind I used to go to as a kid! Large selection of luscious donuts. Small-town feel. Great prices. I will be coming here often!
They stuffed my long john with Boston creme and made my wife her favorite pink ?? ?? donuts right on the spot! Delicious fast and very efficient! We always stop in here when we're in the mood for fresh baked pastries!
Ordered birthday doughnuts for my son's bday. He absolutely loved them! They were fresh and delish!! The shop is a bit dingy/old, but the doughnuts are great! Wonderful service too. Thank you!
I was actually impressed! Deb B. Was very friendly and showed me everything on the menu since I had never been before. Ordered the biscuits and gravy with sausage, a cake donut and an iced coffee. Everything was delicious and the donut was so soft! Will definitely be returning. Visit was around 10:30 on a Sunday too!
Raspberry and Bavarian cream stuffed donut 100% I would give 6 stars if it let me.
Delicious donuts. Worth the little bit extra in price over grocery store products. Can get pretty busy as well. Call ahead on Saturday's and they will make you a sticky bun that is scrumptious.
The donuts were delicious and the lady working was friendly. I do need to point out that the customer before us was not wearing a mask in the store. The cashier didn?t put a mask on until she saw we were wearing one. Aside from that, gloves would be a good reassurance for customers to see being used.
We drive 20 minutes from Brighton to enjoy these delicious donuts. They?re so fresh. Tasty. And you can always find yourself in good company. No other donuts can compete. We love Daylight Donuts Dacono!! ????
Our new favorite donut shop! We love how you fill the donuts right in front of the customer and fill it completely. Yum! The breakfast sandwiches and made to order smoothies are also so good! Thanks for your kindness and your donuts!
Such good donuts! Added smoothies recently too! I got a breakfast sandwich made of raised donut bread (unsweetened) which was pretty yummy! Owner has been here a long time and knows what she's doing. All the donuts are amazing, but my personal fave is the apple fritter!
The Biscuits and Gravy were great. The staff is very nice. I also got some doughnuts. The Bavarian creme doughnut was delicious!
Without exception, far better than any other type of donut store within 50 miles. However, she needs to spend a bit more time training new employees before having them halfass try to fill bismarcks.
Best donuts in town. Service is always good. Friendly staff. I have not had their coffee but their donuts are far better than safeway and Kings.
Friendly and helpful employees. Definitely a locals hangout. They do offer coffee, but anything beyond drip is machine based. The donuts ate great and tend to sell out of variety early. They do offer pre-orders tho!
Wow! Fantastic cabbage burgers! They are fresh, stuffed with hamburger and cabbage, cooked perfectly brown and a great value for the $$! I can't wait to stop in and try the sandwiches and donuts! So glad to have somewhere in our local area that has great customer service and amazing food! Definitely recommend!
I'm native to the area in Tri Town. I take the fam here. You know you got an excellent doughnut when you give it a squeeze and it puffs back up. We appreciate your lovely taste bud sensations. I want to try your rhubarb pie!
From time to time. I like stuff my face... For me , this is the place!
New owners are great ?. Donuts are perfect
Nice family owned shop. They have basically everything there from nick nacks to ice cream and donuts. I got 3 HUGE maple covered raspberry filled donuts and pecan ice cream for 10$. Honestly you can't beat that price
My wife and I recently came across this place, I have to say the staff and atmosphere is very welcoming. We live in Fort Lupton and make the well worth drive. I highly recommend DD. We like the pumpkin cake donuts and they run out quickly so get there early.
We've gone here alot and they owner has always been very nice, well this morning changed it all. We arrived at what we thought was 5:00. The guy owner opened the doors and we went in, the lady owner came in and asked the guy why he opened early I said "don't you open at 5:00?" She said it's 4:58. It was very uncomfortable as I apologized for getting him in trouble. I then orderered a dozen donuts and then asked for 6 more, lady owner was very rude and said that she had to limit her donuts as she would run o
The place is awesome, with great donuts and pastries. The service is the best. I haven't had service that makes you feel special in quite some time.
Incredible Apple Fritters. The other donuts we have tried are great as well. They also serve good biscuits and gravy that you can add an assortment of stuff too. A full order with sausage is under $4. Lots of other stuff including ice cream, doggie donut treats and even homemade kraut burgers. The owner and staff are always very nice and enthusiastic. Highly recommend stopping in!
The donuts we're good overall. I am just used to my favorite back home and they just didn't meet my taste buds. The owner was very auspicious and polite to me and my friend when we arrived. I was disappointed on the imposed limit no, though I understand the reason, is just not something I'm used to.
What a cool place! Came in late in the day, and will definitely come back first thing some upcoming morning. Delicious smoothies and a great selection of options. I'm excited to try their breakfast sandwich too.
This place was super dirty, dirty rags/ dishes on the counter the place also had an overwhelming smell of cigarettes and flies all over. I ordered 4 donuts and after seeing how nasty the place was I threw them in the garbage. should have left without purchasing anything but felt embarrassed to be rude to the guy at the counter. No thank you! Not trying to catch an illness from unsanitary places.
This place never has any donuts the owner Linda always says to order ahead, and we could get you anything. I?ve did that, and not only was it limited, when I picked up my order got home it was missing donuts. This place is a JOKE never any donuts Linda has said come in earlier, I have and even then we wait on donuts that we don?t even want, she is untruthful.
Stopped here in the morning on a road trip to use the wifi. Got a few donuts since we were there. Donuts were fantastic, wifi worked perfectly. Would definitely go back.
The best donuts also have doggy donuts. Friendly, fast service. That was 10 months ago. This morning went in for 1 long John. Counter person tried to give me 2. I said only 1 she said I heard you say 2. Gave me my .50 no thank you no nothing. As I reached for the door she complained to the lady in the back about now having the long John on the shelf. Geeze I'm sure it won't go to waste. WOW what's with the attitude?
We moved to the area a couple of months ago and we will not go anywhere else for donuts. The service is amazing every time. Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel like you?re at home. Thank you for your kindness and your hard work!
Donuts are delicious and the people working are always very sweet BUT unless you're there first thing in the am they have no donuts:/ I've gone in 4 time overall and 3 of those times basically out of donuts ????? can't be yummy if they don't have any.
Owners are so nice! Just stopped by for the first time to find them closed due to some plumbing issues. The owners saw how sad my youngest was and snuck us out 2 scoops. Glad to know there are still businesses like this out there! Will definitely return when they reopen.
Best donut shop just wish i lived closer!!! Respectful and clean! Some amazing donuts!!! My kids love their donuts. When my kiddos say mommy donuts and chocolate milk we go straight to daylight donuts!!! Cant wait for the Halloween donuts!!!
The lovely ladies working there this morning were so sweet! Couldn't have asked for better laughs or better donuts on a Monday morning!! You absolutely have to try the blueberry cake donuts, they couldn't be any more perfect!
Yeah, I think it's hard to beat the value here. Good donuts at a good price... and tons of other stuff to boot! I live in Littleton and make sure to stop by whenever I pass through (which is probably too often!). I'd recommend trying if it you haven't yet.
Absolutely awesome people, very warm and welcoming! Good doughnuts good homemade food, good coffee and usually a laugh to start the day. If you havent tried them please do and support local businesses!
Great little donut shop! Both the raised donuts and the cake ones are delicious, but my favorites are the specialty kinds. Bear claws, turnovers, and raspberry rosebuds! And the holiday shapes are so much fun!
Awesome donuts, we came late in the day and just a few donuts left, which should be a sign on how good they are. Bought 4 varied ones. Awesome, and will be returning soon. Great local business.
The staff was cool and the donuts were ok. I recommend going to their shop before 1 or 2 because they only had 3 donuts left but other than that it's a good place
Best Donuts ever. Great selection, great prices, great staff. If you're in the area, don't miss out!
Got the chance to try what was left in the case and I was not disappointed!! Wow! The lady up front was an absolute pleasure as well! Gona have to get here earlier before she sells out. This was definitely a hidden Gem!
They have the best donuts ever. They are perfect. I?ve never had donuts this good in my life.
Delicious food. I have never been disappointed. The owners and staff are great! ??
Great selection of items. Sausage roll was good. Also tried long john with angel fluff. Very good but sweet a little much.
