Customer Reviews

Really good and the cashier is a very sweet lady. Love when a donut place fries their eggs instead of microwave!

My daughter and I have weekly daddy daughter doughnut day here...we love it. Great people run this place

The worker was very nice and was gave me one of the best donut store experiences I?ve ever experienced??

I always go early in the morning, the workers are sweet and always give me extra donuts. The donuts aren?t out of this world, they?re pretty similar to other donut shops. My favorite things to buy there: -Thai Iced Tea (with boba) -Taro smoothie (with boba) -Ham & Cheese croissant -Lemon Powdered donuts

The donuts were delicious! The owners were so kind, and the donuts were fresh.

Not a great variety in normal donuts worth $2.50 each

Unfortunately I don?t live in the area but I stopped here while I was in the area for work, their croissants are super good!! I came twice and both times the meal was consistent. Thank you!

Donut City at the corner of Centralia and Norwalk is a hidden gem in the world of Southeast Asian family-owned donut shops. If you know, you know ? and if you don't, it's time to discover the truth. The place exudes a chill vibe inside, making it the perfect spot to savor delicious donuts while feeling right at home. They also have the added perk of being a lucky spot to buy lotto tickets. A must-visit for those seeking tasty treats and a cozy atmosphere.

This shop is right on the corner near my bus stop, so I tend to pop in for some snacks while I'm waiting. The staff is always super friendly and fast getting orders out especially if you want a hot sandwich. Update: Still great service! Went before closing and got some extra doughnut holes with my order. While I'm sure the pastries weren't the freshest later at night they tasted great.

The donuts here are very light and very good, compared to other donut shops. Ladies are always very sweet. My only complaint is, not enough maple donuts ??hardly any at all

A really good donut shop. Obviously the earlier you go, the better chances you get the donut you want. They have good glazed donuts, bavarian cream, and good mappe bars. They have everything your local donut shop needs.

This is our spot... Donut shop vibes... Best donuts you can find. The ladies are sweet to my babies. They always give us extra donut holes or some suckers. We love this place!!!
