Customer Reviews

Cute little spot serving up freshly made breakfast items, and massive donuts ?? . Also have a good selection of convenience items. Prices are great for a quick bite place, I will have to come back one morning to try their 3.99 bagel +cream cheese + coffee deal! I ordered the ham, egg and cheese muffin and it was great. Props to the lady making the food and running the counter, she was super nice!

I went there in the morning for a dozen donuts since it is advertised as a donut shop, but they didn?t have enough for a dozen. I instead was going to get a Red Bull and they wanted to charge $6 for one Red Bull which is extremely overpriced. This place is not really a donut shop, it is a bodega that over charges and tries to rip of the customers.

Cinnamon roll and chocolate bar were warm. It was amazing!!!

I was there picking up an order for donuts Sunday around 7pm and had to try one. Donuts were freshly made and delicious! I was surprised they had donuts that late in the evening. So if you're craving donuts later in the day, I recommend this place for soft and tasty donuts. They won't disappoint.

The best donuts ever,very fresh and delicious ???? I love them so much,the guys are so nice at Eric's donuts thanks guys

Donuts were great. I enjoyed them! They always plug it.

Good donuts in the south sacramento very exrtra soft. They got maple bacon donuts, they got donuts as bug as your head. They are always fresh and cheap!!!!!

Very good donut shop to go to I've been going there for years

Donuts ?? are plenty, taste fresh, reasonably priced. Great customer service. Hours of service is great for early evening for a place that is open for a late afternoon desire for a donut purchase. Highly recommend!

This place is clean and the donuts taste real good!

The best donut ever and freshly made everyday

The place is ghetto, I don?t recommend going here. The store itself is basically a 7-eleven, and you smell nothing but smoke inside. The donuts are not good whatsoever, I don?t know why this place has good ratings. I got 2 chocolate long john donuts for $3 and they tasted crispy. I threw them away, so I recommended to save your time and a buck.

One of the better donut spots I've been to. They also make huge more than average size donuts.

Great customer service every single time , fresh doughnuts ?? and very convenient store . I would very much recommend there maple ?? and glaze doughnuts there my favorites.

I'll have to give it 2 1/2 stars. Not saying this place is terrible, but maybe it was just my experience. I arrived at about 6:30 am wanting to pick up a dozen donuts, and the 1st thing I realized were the flies. My appetite for donuts just went down the drain after that. I bought a drink and left. But the dude was cool though!

Eric has the biggest honey buns and bearclaws I've ever eaten, he has more of variety of donuts than most do, it's also a store where you can buy other essentials.

These doughnuts have a weird flavor. The taste is definitely off in the maple, plain glazed, and chocolate glazed doughnuts. I had high hopes for these doughnuts but was sadly disappointed.

Great donuts... fresh at 6:30 am and 6:30 pm..and when you buy a mixed dozen you get some free....

Very nice, and good attention to the customer, thanks!

I come for the donuts! They are real good a fresh the donut holes are almost always gone (: great customer service friendly?!

Been going here ever since I was a kid. I love their donuts they are always fresh and homemade. They are big and you get your moneys worth.

A friendly neighborhood donuts shop that also sells tobacco products, vape products, accessories, various drinks, lottery tickets, no public restrooms, ACCEPTS EBT, and ATM AVAILABLE! The store owners are really great people and you gotta try their delicious baked goods... The price is absolutely amazing.

Great customer service and great tasting doughnuts , also god variety

Absolutely fresh coffee and donuts!!On premises bakery where they make fresh donuts everyday. Cashiers are very friendly and seems like this place has changed management. New owners are terrific,keep up the good work!!

Delicious donuts!! I also live the fact that they have a lot of drink variety!

Today was my first time trying Eric?s Donuts and I was very disappointed. The donuts were stale and dry. I don?t know if it?s always like this, but I won?t be going back to find out.

Provided 3-day-old tasting dry disgusting donuts for Christmas delivery. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Eric?s Donuts are the best! Always fresh! Great coffee too!

Great donuts super friendly service Definitely would recommend

This place is so ghetto, the cashier's barely speak English and are extremely rude. They do not put prices on their merchandise because they change them on case by case basis. I've been here a few times and I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere! If it's not the employee's it's the client's who are rude and disrespectful. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!

Very good donuts. Nice people and very friendly ??

How dare they ! It?s a smoke shop / corner shop/ donut shop??? I called asked if they have fresh donuts and they said yes we do! We arrive and it?s a corner shop like 7/11 quality donuts

Nice guy, great doughnuts and they also sell lottery tickets among other items.

I came here Sunday late afternoon and purchase something a beverage to get money back and they actually charged me $2.75 I thought after you purchased something from the store you automatically get money back with no charge??

The donuts tasted nasty and it's like a day or two old. Don't go to this place.
