Customer Reviews

My wife and I have been to several donut shops in the area and we kept coming back to this one. The new owner is so nice!! She always greets us and is so kind! The donuts were fresh, soft and warm! Very good!! Apple Fritters and Bear Claws (with apple inside!!) are the best!! You can also get almost any donut stuffed with a choice of cream/filling!!

We were given MOLDY BOUDIN KOLACHES. I understand how hard it must be to make food from scratch in the very early mornings everyday. But serving these old kolaches could?ve made my family very sick. This is totally unacceptable and I thought other customers would want to know before they eat at this location.

Nope nope nope this is disgusting & will never recommend this place .. hair INSIDE the kolache ?. aside from the lady always having an attitude this is not the first of me hearing it but didn?t believe until it happened to me ?

OMG, I hate donuts but my kids love them. I had fresh out the oil donut holes from my son. N OMG I was in love. The strawberry smoothie is so refreshing ????.

Sausagekolaches are delicious. Fresh and hot when I get them. Haven't tried the donuts but they do look good. They have a good variety of drink options not just you typical juice and milk options. The lady working seemed nice too.

Great kholaches even better donuts !

Delicious Donuts! - My experience was great. I went in to get a box of donuts, a few sandwich and drinks. I was in and out in less 5 minutes. Guy at the counter rung me up, I paid and I was on my way out. Got in the Truck and inhaled like 3 fresh donuts. Give this place a try!

I am not a fan of donuts... that was until my husband shoved a donut from Dees in my mouth.. love this place! They are so sweet with a smile each time you enter to the time you leave. Amazing iced coffee and glazed donuts!!! Me loves them!

Donuts are hot and fresh. Kolaches are tasty. Love the convenience of the drive thru.

The people here very nice and they have best kolachese and Donuts ?? in town ??

Every time that have come it has been close. The times seem to not match up with the locked door. I came a week ago the window said they closed at 10am. Which it wasn?t even 10 yet. Than I came today and saw the front door said ?7 Days A Week 8-1? yet here it is hours away from one and it?s closed! FIX THE TIMES PLEASE !

I went in this store for the first time today and i have to say im far from pleased. The lady made a mistake and gave mr 6 kolaches instead of the 3 i asked and was charging me for them.when i corrected her she started yelling saying i told her 6 now she has to throw them away. She started throwing stuff like she was throwing a temper tantrum. I was treated very badly the boss was there and didnt do a thing about it if i could rate this place a zero i would i was disrespected and as customer im very disapp

I stop by atleast 3x a week. I absolutely love their donuts and coffee.

We have been coming here for 15 years! Best kolaches we have had and the service is amazing! Slow but worth the wait.
