Customer Reviews

I've been a loyal customer of this donut shop for 3 years, and my family and I make it a point to visit every week at opening time. We're not alone - many others do the same, which is a testament to the owners' dedication to quality and care. Every time I recommend this shop to friends, family, and coworkers, they become instant fans, making it their go-to donut spot. The family owners are always warm and welcoming, even at the crack of dawn. Their orange juice is incredibly refreshing, and their donuts a

Are you kidding me! Where can you get donuts that are fresh testing the next day? East side Donuts! The sweetest people and a nice hang out!

The best fresh orange juice, bagels, and donuts. Great customer service.

Great donuts and friendly staff! Donuts go quick so get em while they hot!

Everyone was super kind and patient while I figured out what I wanted. The donuts here are delicious!

Don't eat here if you're black / African-American. You will be served last even though you're the first in line.

I'm not the only black/ African American she has done this to.( Her boss has the

This food is great. The only issue I had with this place is the service of the hispanic lady. I'm a man of color and she told me she didn't speak english so I stepped aside to wait for the owner to take my order. A white lady came in to order and the hispanic lady's English was as clear as mine. The owner is a great lady. It's sad that she has this kind of "help".

Great doughnuts but rush there because they sell quick and once there out they close.

Customer service is excellent here. They are friendly and fast but you dont feel rushed even when they have a long line. Their iced coffee, delicious. Their donuts so far are the best in town, we like the chocolate glazed or frosted with sprinkles. The bacon croissant sandwiches were gobbled up by two small children this morning after fighting over the donut box. :) Thank you for providing great service Eastside.

They need a rewards program. I would be donut rich.

Love this place. Really amazing croissants, filled donuts. Has all the classics. Offers hot food and various drinks. Friendly staff.

Awesome donuts, but be here before 10:00 (the earlier the better) else they run out of the fresh donuts (just shows how famous this place in our neighborhood).
