Customer Reviews

The donuts are so good. Soft fluffy and tasty. Crunchy outer crust and soft pillow like centers. I absolutely love Family Dounts. I normally get cinnamon roll with maple top and blue berry old-fashioned. So delicious, so good.

Great selection of donuts and very friendly staff! Great prices! They always treat you like family.

Delicious donuts, Best variety and awesome customer Service. I would highly recommend family donut.

Iv been coming to this place since I was in elementary school and im in my 2nd year of college now. These donuts are still my favorite and quality is still a 10/10 if not better. Amazing and sweet owners. Best donut place in town

Extremely respectable human beings that create perfectly prepared donuts and pastries with passion and love. I am very thankful, when fortunate enough to bite into one of their Apple fritters! Definitely don't sleep on the blueberry cakebatter donut. Excellent selection and if you go early enough you get the small town conversations with early rising retirees.

I?ve stopped in here for many years on my way through Oakdale in my travels, even back when it was Fran?s in the 80?s). The absolute best donuts in America! Same consistently made recipes and product. Never disappointed!

The BEST donuts around, I PROMISE! Great local family; our hidden gem is too good not to share! Do yourself a favor and become a regular and you'll REALLY leave smiling EVERY time!

The lady here is so sweet. Like the donuts!! Shop local

Hafa Adai thank you for your delicious array of sweets always puts a smile in everyone make sure you get extra fast service thank you family later ?????????????.

The best doughnuts! Very soft and reasonably priced. There system offers you to tip them for putting your doughnuts in a box lol. That made me laugh.

If they opened up at 6 a.m. they'd get more business. They've been here for decades and hate to see it go out of business. Help them out and get you and your family some sugar for the day ????????
