Customer Reviews

2022.03-31/THU_0600: It's always such a pleasure seeing the lovely ladies at the Donut Baker so early in the morning! They're open early so you can grab a bite before you head in! Anything that we need for work, has always been awesome! Their pastries, treats and sandwiches are so delicous and made fresh daily! If you have a large order, you can call it in for pick-up! They also have shakes and coffee, too. If you're looking for other beverages, they have them! It's very convenient! This is always our #1 sp

Very good & clean. The employees are friendly. They also offer more than donuts. You can buy full anything from a breakfast sandwich to breakfast plates. They have a huge variety of flavored teas, including BOBA'S which has been a forever favorite of my son's!

I go there every day I used to go for Mr Coffee and donut then one day I was treated to a tuna sandwich and I must say it was delicious and the amount of tuna they put on your sandwich is ridiculous, you almost want to tell him not to put on so much meat let the price they charge for the tuna sandwich makes me keep my mouth shut LOL nice ladies good place to go
