Customer Reviews

Their donuts tasted like donuts you get from Safeway, not the greatest flavor. They used a cheap chocolate powder, so the mocha was not that good. This is a restaurant that is required to have a working bathroom for their customers to use. It looks like the bathroom has not been open to their customers for a long time. We went to Peet's coffee the other day, and their restroom was out of order. They had a plumber out and fixed it within 3 hours. Why can't this donut business get it repaired? Don't waste you

The best donuts ever. Each donut has a unique flavor unlike the chain donut place down the street. I got 4 lattes and a dozen donuts for less than $30. Service is speedy.

We love Duckys Donuts, and we have been going here for years! Great donuts and service

Great place! Best donuts me and my coworkers have anywhere around Sacramento!

The only thing That I really enjoyed was the ham and cheese croissant. The donuts were dry. And seemed like they were from yesterday.

The best croissants by far. The donuts are great too! Monday they are closed

The chocolate donut was really good. Lightly salted flavor gave it a nice kick.

Placed an order on Too Good only to have it cancelled at the pick-up time. I was less than two blocks from them when the email came. I guess I will never try their donuts after this. Poor customer service!

Delicious donuts made with passion! Always fresh and at a very reasonable price

I had my donuts delivered they were so delicious! I also got the ham and cheese croissant definitely my favorite. I did get a caramel latte they could have had way more flavor but still ok

The best donuts all around and wonderful people!

Donuts are cold and lady is rude she was on the phone and didn?t listen at all when I asked for something

Bring back the red velvet donut holes!!! Those are incredible! I come here every Friday to buy donuts for my staff About 2 doesn't, and I am always welcomed and feel at home here. This place is wonderful. Amazing service, tasty donuts and fair prices...

Every time I go here I always want to like this place. We?ve given it multiple tries but every time the quality disappoints, especially for the price they charge. I walked out with 5 donuts and was shocked when I was rang up dot $11. Worst off, the regular donuts were very heavy and the frosting waxy. My apple fritter looked amazing but it was so oily I couldn?t eat it. A real bummer because they are super nice in there and the shop is clean. I just rather drive a little further to get donuts I can actually

Ducky's is the absolute best! Definitely give them a try. Shout out to the lemon filled flower-shaped donuts, and the ham and cheese croissant. So good!

Love this donut shop. Friendly staff, welcoming aesthetic, plenty of space indoors and outside to enjoy a donut and some coffee. The donuts are always tasty and fresh but the selection can be limited after the pre-work morning rush and they close pretty early even by donut place standards. That said it's still probably one of my favorite places to get a donut. Just gotta get there early.

Get there early as they run out of donuts pretty fast. Great taste and not super sweet. I'll go back and enjoy other varieties..

Came here for the very first time about two months ago. Might of been one of the best Donut experiences I've ever had. I was heading somewhere when I seen this Donut place with the cool name tucked away in the back of the shopping center. Decided to swing in on a whim. It was around noon and they were still open. Well the Owner or Manager was the one that helped us. He was VERY friendly and chatted with us for a while, while we chose our donuts. I asked what I should try and he offered me these powder cover

Good donuts. They are the closest one to me and seem like they have a community presence which makes it a nice local shop. I still have a more favorite donut place we go to though that's about 5 minutes further away but worth it. We'll go here when we are in a time crunch or don't want to drive the extra distance to our favorite place. You know the Spot...

Best donuts! You could clearly tell the owner truly cares about his shop and satisfying his customers! I went to this shop every morning before school and since graduating I've missed having it out of my routine. However I still stop by occasionally and get dozens of powedered donut holes with raspberry and lemon filling and it's always very pleasant being remembered!

The people seem to know each other and the servers are really nice. Just got iced mocha and it's good. All the Donuts looked really good too. It's noticeable that a lot of people were picking up large orders early morning.

Killer "mom & pop" style donut joint with unbelievable quality donuts and awesome/crazy innovations that you'll only find there. Incredibly creative donut/frosting/topping combos as well as birthday cakes/donuts, and so much more. Whatever your mood, whatever the occasion, I guarantee they have the perfect donut(s) to meet your needs and then some. I'd also be remiss not to mention the incredibly friendly staff/ownership that run this place. Definitely a strong family/community vibe going on here. What's no

Delicious donuts and great variety, Both the staff and the customers are very nice.

Oh my gosh, this place is awesome. It's tucked behind Taco Bell so we almost missed it. They're super nice and make amazing creme puffs. Also the lemon star was so good! It was our first visit but definitely not our last!

I work all over the city and eat in different places and I can say with confidence that they sell the most delicious and fresh donuts made with love for their work.

Great Donuts, if you are driving by and don't want to drive all the way to Dunkin, then this is the place breakfast Dreams are made of. My new favorite Chocolate with Coconut Sprinkles??

Came here on a friend's recommendation and was pleased to find a very clean establishment with specialty donuts and a very warm atmosphere. When you come in make sure to ask for the special one of a kind donuts....

Love the donuts here! The breakfast croissants are delicious!

Unfortunately, prices have gone up a lot. In every other famous donut side, the prices are fair for a junk food. We know donuts shouldn't even be sold because of how dangerous they are, but sometimes kids ask for them! In this place the donuts are the same as in the other places and they cost as if they were healthy food, they use the same ingredients as winchells, yum yum, etc. etc. and charges them as organic or vegan food??? pay $40 dollars for 3 milks 1/2 pint, and 3 croissants? and 1/2 dozen.???

Donuts were delicious. Friendly Staff. I would definitely recommend.

Huge selection of donut holes. The old fashion was so fresh and moist. Kids loved the red velvet donuts. The little cream puff with powdered sugar was amazing!

The BEST donuts! So light n fluffy and so many choices!!! ??

Popped in for an afternoon white mocha (decaf!) and it was delicious!!! Don?t know what brand syrups they use, but I will definitely be back!

I love this place. The donuts are always good and the owners are so charming. I wish they would bring back (or make more?) Cronuts!

The employees are nice and very respectful and give their honest opinion on the donuts are or coffee, the donuts are delicious and freshly backed every day. I would definitely rate this place a five star :)

Best donuts!!!!! Even if you are able to keep a couple overnight. They tast fresh. They have a variety of flavors and the service is fast and curious.

Amazing service and delicious donuts cooked just right.

The donuts taste great, but they don't honour the baker's dozen special they advertise online, which is very disappointing.

This is our go-to for donuts. Great friendly staff!

Great donuts! The family that owns it is really nice. They have great seating so you can easily eat there.

Anytime I visit Orangvale, I always make a point of visiting Ducky Donuts. The best donuts west of the Mississippi!

Ducky's Donuts a very peaceful establishment and restful environment. Very tasty goodies and reasonably priced. I enjoy being there with a cup of their coffee and pastries.

It is one of, if not, the best donut place I have been to. The owner is absolutely a charm whenever we come in. If by it, and you need a good and fast breakfast, give it a try.

Perfect donut stop for the kids on the way to school! We?re always in and out. The service is greats and quick and the donuts are always fresh with lots of variety!

Their donuts are fresh and delicious. Large variety of tasty treats and the staff is very pleasant.

I love their donuts. They are the best and they are always nice and don't make you feel rushed when picking out a donut.

Great Ducky Donuts, once you have been there believe me you will be back for more. They are so tasty and freshly made daily in the morning.

Great donuts and breakfast sandwiches! Most days you have to get there early as they often run out around 9am.

I have visited this location many times over the years and have been very happy.

Absolutely the best donuts in greater Sac! Try them, you?ll never want donuts from anywhere else.

Best donut place. Their cream puff donuts are addictive. They come in Bavarian cream, raspberry, and on occasion lemon.
