Donut Time

Reviews Summary

Donut Time is overwhelmingly praised for its fresh, delicious donuts, especially favorites like maple bacon, cronuts, and blueberry old-fashioned. The family-owned shop is beloved for its exceptionally friendly, welcoming staff who often go above and beyond (e.g., adding free donut holes, accommodating allergies). Croissants, particularly ham/cheese/jalapeño, and Thai/Vietnamese drinks also receive high marks. While most reviews highlight consistent quality and warmth, a few note rare issues like stale items or service delays. The shop’s cleanliness and community vibe stand out, though one critical review mentioned hygiene concerns. Overall, it’s a cherished local gem with minor room for improvement.

Customer Reviews

We bought a dozen donuts from this excellent location and were delighted with our purchase. The donuts are delicious, fluffy, and well presented. I can honestly say they made the best apple fritter I?ve ever had! My son also loved the Cookie Monster donut! Pricing is also very reasonable. Service was great. I?d absolutely recommend this donut store again.

I didn't know this place existed. Thanks to "Too Good to Go" food waste prevention app I was able to score this big fat box of surprise assorted donuts ?? ?? ?? for less than $6. I'm not big on donuts so I went for the experience and to help avoid food waste. Everyone was very pleasant and welcoming. There was no wait time and the original glazed donut I tried melted in my mouth. It tasted super fresh and delicious. I took my box to share with family and learned that my son in-love, and my daughter were

Wonderfully delicious donuts; especially enjoy the cinnamon rolls! Welcoming, kind staff with generous smiles & extra donut holes whether it's a dozen donuts &/o several in a bag to go. When out of our friends favorite - raspberry filled jelly donut - they sliced a glazed & filled with raspberry then sealed both sides with donut holes. So kind! Thank you for fabulous treats & great service!

This place was great this was my first time visiting ever and the owners are so friendly. They let me know that around 6:00 6:30am on the weekends is the best time to come, the case is usually full with all of their selection, and if you're looking for croissants the lady let me know to make a call just to make sure she has them because they sell out super fast they have a big selection also so light and flaky I love croissants! I do love a day-old dollar donut and plus I got a bunch of freebies just for b

Small strip mall donuts shop serving donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and Boba drinks. Good selection of regular as well as specialty donuts. The breakfast sandwiches offered were good. If in the area again, I will be stopping again.

The best place their breakfast sandwiches are to die for ?? and their doughnuts are sooo delicious and fresh and yummy. Love their customer service. If you have not tried them you are missing out!! 10/10 recommend!!

Fantastic selection. They have blueberry old fashioned and apple fritters! They have your standard donuts, cronutts, croissants, lemon and berry filled, day old discounted donuts.

Love the donuts from this shop! Always open early. Staff is so friendly.

Hole in the wall donut shop with good donut shop coffee, good Boba drinks, and their donut glaze is heavenly. The raised donut holes are my favorite! Great breakfast sandwiches, too!

My neighborhood donut shop! Sweet and savory at one place! Great donuts, staff is fast. Love the ham cheese and jalapeno croissant.

Our favorite donut spot. Try the cronuts. My favorite donut is the maple with bacon on top.

Visiting here is like visiting your aunties. We?re always treated so kindly. Our donuts and coffees (viet, white mocha, Thai tea) are always delicious and the kind women workers are happy to chat with us while they make them. We particularly enjoy the apple fritters and blueberry old fashions. Sometimes we go around 1 or 2 and there are still donuts to choose from. The workers have always worn gloves around us and it?s clean. Our favorite donut shop!

Perfect Donut/Coffee shop. Both fantastic. I do consider myself a pretty picky coffee guy. Prefer Peets and Starbucks dark roast. Their coffee has multiple selections and very good. Maple Bacon donut melted in my mouth and I had a croissant type donut that was also amazing.

Best donuts ever! So fresh, fluffy and yummy! When that donut craving hits, THIS is the place.

Very cute spot with delicious VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE and croissants/donuts. Very sweet employees, fast service. If you're a fan of robust coffee/espresso, just trust me and give their Vietnamese iced coffee a try. Next time I'm there I will also be trying the Thai tea or Thai iced coffee! My partner and I love the Jalapeno, Cheese, and Ham/Turkey Croissant. We tend to get half a dozen of their donuts, all of which are great! They even have jam filled! Especially tasty with fresh coffee, tea, or a glass o

Great selection of delicious donuts and coffee at a good price and the staff is really quick and friendly!!

Not a bad place, it's a little old but the donuts were good. Service was bad because when I came in there there was a person choosing their order and I was ready to order and they told me to wait my turn. I had to wait for the person to choose what they want.

What a great place. The croissants are to die for. Had the turkey cheese croissant and it was yummy. I was trying to not buy sweets so didn?t buy anything else but the sweet lady gave two cake donuts and were delicious. It?s a good thing for My waist line that I don?t live close by. But will be back.

Love the fresh ?? donuts. It was really busy this morning but the employees were quick and polite had me and my kids in an out in no time

No complaints. Cheap, local, delicious, and great service. The owners occasionally throw in a free donut in my order, and have let me still go through on an order when I was slightly short of change. The croissant sandwiches are not too great in my opinion but everything else is great.

I have been coming here for four years faithfully. This last Sunday I came. I paid with cash and was treated in a very racist manner. The new owners seem to hire racist people who make a big show of double checking that the money Black people pay with is real. I?ve never bounced a check. I?ve never used counterfeit money. But somehow, I was the one person in the entire store whose money was double checked to be sure that it was real. It?s unfortunate because I like the new changes. Well, at least I thought

Their donuts are tasty and they have good deals.

Donut variety is excellent! Delicious!

I seeing by here to grab treats for many occasions...birthdays, school functions, or just because. Doughnuts are ways good and everyone inside is really polite. I'll keep getting my doughnuts from here.

Best blueberry donuts ever! They do theirs in the style of an old fashioned instead of a cake donut, and it's so much better! My only complaint about their croissant sandwiches is that they are TOO flaky, lol. Can't eat them in the car on my way to work, too much of a mess! ??

Food was cooked with bare hands after touching money from the register, sat down and seen a roach on the booth table which was the final straw and decided not to even wait for my food and just leave. I really wanted to like this place after all the good reviews.

Fresh donuts all the time! I?ve been going to this place for 4 years. Nice family owned business.

I don't eat donuts often and have only been to a few other donut shops in the Sacramento area, but I have to say that Donut Time's donuts beat out all other places. They have a wide selection of donuts and never have that "old oil" taste that other donut shops have at times had. The employees are friendly and I am frequently surprised when I find that they have given me an extra donut.

I had the BEST breakfast sandwich ever from this place and the staff was genuinely so friendly, I don't usually leave reviews but this place deserves it!!

I?m not sure what has changed. Maybe new owners. The donuts now are heavy and too sweet. The old donuts were unbelievably good. I hope they figure things out.

The best donut shop in the Sacramento region hands down. They have great variety to choose from and the staff is polite. They are very affordable and always gives you extra donuts. I will definitely be back.

This establishment is always filled with friendly staff. The family that owns this place is SUPER nice. The croissant sandwiches are delicious and filling - the donuts are just what you need them to be (delicious)! Whenever I want to treat myself I always come here.

The BEST fresh donuts and friendly customer service! Always smiling and never "irritated" when someone takes a little longer to choose from all the delicious options. Their old fashioned blueberry donuts are AMAZING. Same goes for their maple bars, cake donuts, donut holes and their ham and cheese croissants. Also, their Vietnamese coffee, Thai coffee and tea are delicious.

Really rock solid Thai tea and Vietnam coffee. Service is kind, caring and listens. Donuts received thumbs up from my team so no issues there. Seems like the croissants are popular I'll be looking to try those next!

Would have been nice to know that this store closes whenever they want, because I placed an online order & a lady told me to come back tomorrow, through the window. I will not be doing that. Bummer, I would have loved to try their donuts.

The owners here are so nice and they have a wonderful selection of donuts. More then the average selection at most places! Several places to sit if you would like to enjoy your Donuts there. They also offer fancy drinks such as cappuccinos as well as regular drinks such as coffee, milk, chocolate milk and apple juice. Highly recommend!

The people there are awesome. My only issue is I have not tried all their donuts yet. When it comes to the donuts I have tried... the frosting is on point and the texture is good. They have so many donuts and the owners are so, so, awesome.

Great service and the donuts were amazing. My wife and I came in only for two donuts and the gentleman was nice and snuck a handful of donut holes in our bag. We'll definitely be going back. ??

This is the perfect place for me to leave a review, I am a donut. Extremely nice family owned neighborhood donut shop. Donuts are always fresh, you always get something extra. Friday, Saturday, Sunday they make Cronuts, a little pricey but worth it. It's a croissant style donut that's flaky like a croissant, they're amazing. If the number one donut shop in California is in Folsom, this must be number 2.

A real gem set right in our Rosemont community! I?ve been coming here since I was a kid. The place still looks the same but has been taken care of, so it doesn?t have that super rundown look. The current owners have done an excellent job keeping true to the legacy. Donuts are always fresh and delicious, and they offer some newer, popular items such as croissants and cronuts. As others have mentioned, you?ll need to arrive early if that is what you?re after. The owners themselves are very sweet and funny, an

My absolute favorite donut shop. Always super fresh and extremely yummy. They have a Thai iced coffee that is to die for!! If I ever get quarantined I want to do it Donut Time ?????????? did I mention that they are the nicest people ??

By far the best doughnut shop around. Family owned and operated by amazingly kind people. They offer a plethora of very well-priced doughnuts, cronuts, danishes, fritters, croissants etc., as well as the most amazing croissant sandwiches ever. My absolute favorite is the turkey cheese and jalape?o sandwich. Various coffees, teas, milks, and juices are also available. An absolute must try for anyone in the Sacramento area and beyond.

Great coffee and a great selection of donuts! Went in at around noon and they still had plenty of treats left in their case, and the employees working are so incredibly sweet!

I came in today and got a bagel with cream cheese and an order of donut holes. The bagel was really old which was irritating seeing as how it cost $7

These guys are great. Awesome family who own and operate the place. You would think donuts are juat donuts but they do just a bit more to make theirs unique. We go there a little to often but enjoy it that much. I recommend you stop by when passing through Rosemont. Tell them Chris says hi.

Cute little shop... the variety of doughnuts is plentiful and they are delicious! The coffee is sooo good too! Great prices and friendly staff... I go to this little shop often because it's the bomb. Try for yourself

Fresh donuts in croissants all day very popular even if it's next to run down buildings. Definitely a popular place. Parking is not always easy to find but it's well worth it.

Love this place, great donuts. Heads up, their cream filled are sliced in half to add the filling which is different from some places. Ive always been really happy with anything i get here, they also sell thai tea.

The best tasting donuts in town. Every time. Light and fresh tasting

Every thing is the best that I'm sioooo

First time going since the shop was passed down, I love it. They updated the menu board and added more breakfast items. :)

Staff is always friendly. Perfect donuts. Always clean. If when its busy they get you in and out without feeling rushed. Returning customer 5+ years. Highly recommend Donut Time.

I'm so lucky to have this place right next to me! The people here are great, made donuts on spot that weren't ready yet! IM SOOOO IN LOVE with their crullers! The hubs say the croissant are the best, I usually don't like croissants but both their ham and cheese and their kronuts are really yummy. I literally obsess about their donuts!

Delicious and fresh doughnuts. The entire family are so nice. I am a regular and they always acknowledge me with a friend smile and 99% of the time they have my favorite doughnut, if they are not all sold out.

This is our go to place for fresh and delicious donuts but you have to get there early or else they will be close to none by then. Their jalape?o croissants are also a must have. So flakey and so delicious.

This is a family run business. I was a bit late going there so most of the donuts we like were gone. Owners are very nice and polite. Just need to be there at the time they open.

Always have a great experience here, the owners are absolutely them most amazing people and their donuts are to die for. The maple bacon donut and the Chocolate bacon donut are beyond amazing. You can't go wrong and their cronuts are phenomenal

I don't even like donuts but I love the ones here. One of the only places around to get real croissants as well. Nice people, good prices, and I love that it looks the same as I remember it from the 80's!

They always make me feel welcome, and they make some of the best fluffy donuts I've ever had. They also give donuts away when they're about to close which was really nice and generous! Love this place.

I love this donut shop! The customer service is awesome and they have a great selection of donuts that are all extremely fresh and delicious! The only thing better than the donuts is the wonderful family that runs the place!

Hands off best donuts I have ever had! Fresh and delicious! The staff are extremely friendly, nice and helpful. I love this place and highly recommend.

My family loves this place! The bacon on these doughnuts is incredible and the selection of both common and not common doughnuts is great! They always give my kids free doughnut holes in their bags witch makes them smile and feel special and liked :)

Legitimately the best donuts I've ever had!The cronutsa stuffed croissants are soooo insanely good too! They really know their way around a croissant, so flaky and crispy, just perfect! I'm obsessed!! ??

The donuts aren't heavy, there is a wide selection, there are day old bakery goods at a reduced price, great coffee, friendly staff, parking is free. There is a maple/chocolate bar whigh is really good, and the strawberry donut as well.

The nicest shop owners. Great donuts and croissants! Fantastic coffee and Thai iced tea. I couldn?t ask for a better local donut shop.

I love this place. I've been a regular for years and the doughnuts are yummy and croissants even yummier. My daughter Madalyn and I are here at least 3-4 times a week and they know us by name... great place...great people...thank you...?

I love this shop! So tiny, so good! The donuts are so yummy and a great reason to get out of bed. They start to sell out around 1 PM, so get yours quick!

I love this place! It's the best! Family owned. The caramel macchiato is amazing and all the donuts are made fresh daily. I will always come back and recommend others to do so aswell.

The donuts are awesome, cronuts are available here if you order them by phone, and the coffee is also fantastic. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and I never have to wait long even when it's super busy.

I absolutely love this donut shop. If i could get away with eating breakfast from there every day i would. Their donuts are so delicious and their ham and cheese crasaunts are to die for! Every one who works there is amazing and so friendly the best costomer service i have ever had.i used to not be a big fan of dounuts but this place has mad me a dounut addict and i only will by from them.

Who doesn't love donuts! Good variety of freshly made donuts. They have french crullers, which many places dont make. They often throw in a few extra donut holes too.

Been coming to this donut shop since I was little. Back when there was an arcade next door and Del Taco had the glass ashtrays on their tables and smoking was permitted inside. 40 some-odd years!!

This place has always been a gem if rosemont, if you have lived here for any period of time then you know about donut time. The staff will make you feel like family and treat you as such. They ALWAYS REMEBER my daughters peanut allergy. They make sure to grab ones the haven't touched anything near peanuts, they dont even use the same tongs to grab them. They will use fresh papers for each. This makes me feel so good as a parent, that someone would take the time to make sure my daughter can eat their delici

We were looking for a quick breakfast and this place was Wonderful? really good donuts I haven't had a buttermilk bar that good and a long time thank you donut time

My family has been going to this place since my dad was 7 years old, it is the best donut place I know, I go about twice a week they have great customer service and great donuts, and they always have what I want, well unless it's right before closing or close to it. XD

I had the donut with freshly made cream, and a cup of coffee ate Hawaiian blend. And the owners were great. I will add this to the list of the places I love.

Beautiful doughnuts. Friendly staff. They make a great cup of joe. I stop in frequently just got the espresso and more often than not indulge in a delightful pastry.

Donuts always fresh and DELICIOUS, people working there always friendly. Wouldn't go anywhere else for donuts.

The customer service here is always amazing. I've been going here for at least 7 years now and never been disappointed. Bacon donuts are bomb btw

Great neighborhood donut shop! Wonderful service and fresh, delicious donuts. My favorites are the ham and cheese croissant and the chocolate old fashioned.

Wonderful little donut and coffee shop, delicious donuts and friendly staff

Best breakfast place ever I love the food and absolutely love the family the runs it. They are always happy to see us and provide top notch customer service. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Ham. Cheese. Jalapeno. Croissant. I get this once a week at a minimum. I'd do it more if I could! Seriously, the best croissants in Sacramento hands down. It's not even close.

Donut Time is great! They have the best donuts in town better than the last owners and the customer service is awesome they are some very friendly people keep up the good work :)
