Donut Kitchen

Donut Kitchen

Reviews Summary

Consensus: This local donut shop is highly praised for its excellent breakfast sandwiches, fresh donuts, and quality coffee. Customers love the friendly, efficient service and reasonable prices. The owner and staff receive consistent compliments for their warmth and hard work. While most reviews are 5-star, a few note occasional stock shortages (especially donuts) and limited hours (closed Sundays). The made-to-order food, particularly egg sandwiches and fried rice, stands out for freshness and flavor. Many prefer it over chain alternatives. Cash-only policy and early sell-outs are minor drawbacks in an otherwise beloved spot.

Customer Reviews

amazing food! the smoothies are incredibly fresh, and the breakfast sandwiches are huge. plus, the owner is super nice.

Super supportive of this local shop. Great food and service. Serves fried rice during lunch time which is 10/10!

This little donut shop is the cutest thing ever. Their donuts are MASSIVE. their muffins are MASSIVE. Their sandwitches are MASSIVE and AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL. Staff- So sweet and heartwarming . this is my new favorite spot.

Best breakfast sandwich locally. It's made on a grill, not a microwave. The difference is for real. Very nice and friendly staff, good coffee and pastries. They sell out on their specialty pastries early.

Best breakfast sandwiches around! Two fresh fried eggs and plenty of meat

Best egg sandwiches reasonably priced. Very nice lady who works there always has a smile for you. Highly recommend!

The best food I've ever had. Period. This isn't a paid review or anything. The food is cheap, and amazing! ESPECIALLY the smoothies. A large is *massive*! 12/10

I stop by this establishment every morning, I am always greet with a smile and a good morning. The coffee is outstanding and the sandwiches I get, bacon egg and cheese on a bulky, are always so good. It?s just so nice to have this small hometown breakfast place with great prices and even Better smiles. Please keep up the great work!

Best bagel sandwiches, smoothies, and donuts! All served by this hardworking small business. I have never enjoyed a bfast sandwich until I?ve had it from Donut Kitchen. You can taste the made-to-order egg white, the gooey melted American white cheese, and fresh sliced avocado... all sandwiched in between a nice toasty sesame bagel. The owner really delivers quality in the food to start off your day and is incredibly sweet. Disclaimer: I bought the bagel during the morning and saved it for dinner. Re-heated

Moved to the area and after a few months of DD asked my gf who has lived here her entire life where to go for a quality breakfast sandwich she had no idea. First we tried bagel inn, great bagels, good sandwiches and coffee but didn't quite hit the high note i was looking for. Decided this place that looked like a hole in the wall with an old outdated sign that's clearly been here for a while must be doing something right to still be in business; and it instantly became our favorite for breakfast sandwiches

If I could have one last meal, it would be a Donut Kitchen breakfast sandwich. I?ve been coming here for a few years and the owner makes you feel like family. Great prices, fast service, and DELICIOUS food. Try the coffee rolls too, so yummy. I love coming to Donut Kitchen because it feels like home, thank you for all you do!

This place has the best donuts, best coffee and best breakfast sandwiches in town. I can't even believe people still go to DD with this place in town. It is cheap, they have very friendly service and it is super quick. I highly recommend at least checking them out once to see5

This place is amazing! Simple fare, quick service. Somehow the owner remembers me and my order even though I moved out of Holden 3 years ago and now only stop in every few months. Highly recommend.

The ladies who run this place are so friendly and so quick. The egg sandwiches are legit some of the best around, filling and delicious with perfectly fried eggs. I like to get an egg and cheese on a no seed bulkie. Also yummy coffee and donuts.

I was competing in a bodybuilding competition and forgot my food when I left for the day. Out of desperation, I went in and asked if they could make me plain eggwhites with onions, peppers, and no oil. And they made it so on point, much to my complete exuberation. I was thrilled! They are so sweet and always deliver with a smile. When not in prep, an egg sandwich on an English muffin is my favorite! And I'm pretty picky with my coffee, and theirs is always perfect.

Hands down best coffee place around! We get our coffee from Donut Kitchen every morning and have never been disappointed. The owner is incredibly nice and hard working and the coffee is always delicious!!!

Far better donuts than any of the chains around. Large portions, and quick, friendly service

I would give this place 10 stars the owner is so sweet and pleasant always! We call our food in on our way through Holden and it is always perfect!
