Foothills Donuts

Reviews Summary

This donut shop is overwhelmingly praised for its fresh, delicious donuts and friendly, family-owned atmosphere. Many highlight the owner's personal touch, remembering regulars and creating a warm experience. The buttermilk bars, apple fritters, and variety of treats are frequently mentioned as standouts. While most reviews are glowing 5-star ratings, a few note occasional long lines, early sellouts, or minor service hiccups. The shop's popularity means arriving early is advised, especially on weekends. A small number of critical reviews mention limited stock later in the day or perceived rudeness, but these are exceptions amid widespread acclaim for quality and hospitality. Credit card fees and wait times are minor drawbacks for some.

Customer Reviews

The best donut shop in Roseville. The Apple Fritters will change your life. The couple that owns this place are exceptional! They are the hardest workers and a real benefit to the community they serve. The donuts are delicious.

These donuts were incredibly executed and the owner is so nice! I didn't know that donuts could have such great texture, they were fried perfectly leaving a nice crisp exterior and soft fluffy inside. The custard was also a great get with the perfect balance of sweetness

This a great local business, I heavily recommend you try out a bar (preferably maple) with bacon on it from here. The people who work there are so nice and friendly. They will get to know you, so seriously try this place out and support a local business!

I've been going there for many years; they are a local mom-and-pop shop. The donuts are ALWAYS excellent, and they are great people. Couldn't ask for better donuts if you try.

The owner is wonderful. And the donuts are delicious. Omg. To die for truely. I am now a forever customer. Dunkin donuts nor krispy kreme can compare to these tasty works of magic. Who knew heaven was right around the corner. Oh. I almost forgot. She also makes the best mochas. I can easily survive off just those donuts and her coffees.

So delicious, the best donuts in the area! The owners are so sweet and have been in this location for decades! Quick service, lovely experience.

I?ve been coming here my whole life. The people that work here are always awesome, helpful and fun to talk to. They build relationships with the people that come in often. I?ll keep coming here as long as their doors are open.

We?re new in town and on a mission to find eateries that will become our favorite spots. Foothill Donuts? Easily going to be in the top ten of favorites. When the reviews say the apple fritters will change your life, believe them. They?re crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, glazed just enough without being overly sweet, and the apple mixture is super flavorful. They?re honestly the best apple fritters I?ve ever had. If that weren?t enough, the owner was friendly and kind, the establishment is clean

When ever my family and myself go to get a few donuts she is always the sweetest person

I am visitong here and stumbled upon this lil gem to pick up some plain cake donuts. DELICIOUS! Thank you!

Awesome local hot spot! Wonderful owners with delicious donuts! There may be a line but it?s worth it. Love this place!!!

Must go early because they do run out of my favorite ones.

Asian lady at counter wasn't very friendly. Donuts are high priced. Probably won't be back.

Very nice family owned place very respectful which ever donut they didn't have on display they brought out hot an fresh from the back great service delicious donuts.

Best donut place around. Friendly service and good selection. New varieties were coming out when I left at 7a.

BEST DONUTS on the planet and Mary's the absolute best! We've been coming to see Mary since my kids were little and now their in college! We even moved out of state but we STILL come back to Mary's to see her and of course, the donuts. We love you Mary! God willing, we'll see you and Tom again soon!

I have been coming here for over 20 years. I now live out of state, but when I come to visit my family you can bet that these donuts are a must have. It's become tradition now for my granddaughters. Best donuts! Great staff! Come early before they sell out, but not too early or your favorite may not be out of the oven yet.

Wow - we've lived in the neighborhood for 3 years and have always gone to Dunkin' for our donuts. Thankfully, we discovered this gem today when Dunkin' was out of our favorite-- maple bars. This shop is clean, the owners are kind and professional, and the donuts were absolutely delicious. The selection was great! There was a line out the door, but I would say it is worth it!! This is our new go-to donut shop.

Best donuts in Roseville. The owners always remember the names of their customers and ask about their families. Real good people.

Delicious donuts. Wonderful customer service! Today was my first time going. I took my kids there before school. When I got to the register, I couldn't find my credit card and I started to panic. After literally 2 minutes of me searching frantically in my wallet and bottom of my purse, the owner told me to just come back after I dropped my kids off at school and pay for it then. But another one of her customers came to the counter with $11 offering to pay for our donuts. I thanked her while starting to cry!

This donut shop is close to my house. They have great donuts and coffee. They also have ham and cheese croissants, which are delicious. The owner, Mary, is always there and she very friendly and helpful. I meet my friend there almost every day. Their apple fritters are among the best in town. They also have assorted cold drinks in their vista cooler (Red Bull, canned soda, etc.). Come check them out!

Best apple fritter ever! I read the reviews about the amazing mocha... I got mine and it had weird ash like things so it didn't taste good at all.

Best donut shop in town, hands down. Huge fan of the donut holes and very reasonable prices, perfect place to get a few dozen for the office on Friday morning

Donuts here are still great. The lady in the front is always willing to give a little more when there's been a long line out the door. Downgrading their rating 1 from 5 stars because they charge a significant transaction fee for credit card transactions... If I remember correctly, it's $2+.

This is a place where you can eat donuts made that day. I think there are a lot of regular customers because of the friendly service. I recommend it.

They use science to create the perfect donut. Literally. Its amazing. They are extremely addictive. Dunkin donuts should give up on being open. Wonderful staff. Remember your name and face after one visit. Years later even. Artisans!

This is the best donut shop around!!! I have been going to them for over 15 years! It's clean, they are friendly and the food is delicious!!!!

Too bad I can't give a negative star OR 10. If you like custard in your donut don't go here. They put 1/2 teaspoon of custard in the center of the donut....wow. nothing was fresh it tasted old and the coffee... OMG the white mocha was warm watered down milk with a tiny dollop of whipped cream. WORST DONUT SHOP I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. Never again.

Our family has been going here for years! We love Mary and the donuts are always AMAZING. When you are in the mood for a good donut you will not be disappointed here. Best in town for sure!

Amazing people! I needed a large order for my daughter's birthday party. They customized donuts for me and even threw in a few extra for the birthday girl. Support small business and get your donuts here!

Came here on a Sat at 11 am and there are no donuts! Isn't this your business? I guess they just make enough to sell out in the mornings. Why wouldnt you make more? Went to Dunkin down the street! Atleast they have donuts when I want one. Won't come here again.

Amazing donuts. Maybe the best I've ever had. It's way out of the way from where I love, but I will drive here next time I'm getting donuts.

The best donuts, croissants, fritters in town. Hands down better than Dunkin or Krispy. The owners work hard and care a lot about their customers and product. Lines move fast, but you still can get a real personal experience. Easy to access location. Store front is always clean. This place is a staple of Roseville.

Best donut shop in town. Family owned and operated. Mary remembers everyone and every order. My kids, and myself, love the fresh donuts and the small business aspect. We are treated like family here.

This place has the worst donuts I've ever had. I ordered a chocolate bar and it had no taste. It didnt even taste like a glazed donut. And it was an extra $1 for using a debit card I'll never be back here. If you actually want a good donut dont come here and go to Baker Ben's or jasmine donuts. Your welcome in advance.

I just had a freshly baked maple bacon bar and the bacon was still hot and bubbly, hands down the best I've ever had! Waiting outside in order to place my order was well worth the wait, friendly staff, fresh doughnuts, it was an escape from the pandemic in doughnut bliss, would recommend if you are in the mood for a good doughnut and supporting local business!

Happened by there last week on the way through town. Owner was so sweet & helpful! Super yummy donuts! Going through there again today, definitely stopping by again for a tiger tail! Yum!!

Walked in, didn't have much stocked. Immediately someone approached the counter, and commented on how much hair I had. I had my hair up in a bun. That's okay. What's not okay, was the second comment. We bought 6 donuts to try. The comment was "you are buying six donuts, three for you and three for you (my husband) that's a lot of donuts! You get sick". Excuse me? Last time I checked, I decide what I do with my six donuts. Whether that's sharing them with 6 people or one person, it's up to me. Some people sh

Best donuts around. Gets very busy though so try to come early. Can be a little hectic so have some patience and double check your order. The donuts are so good the inconvenience is worth it

Creme bars tasted like plastic and the cinnamon rolls didn't tastes like cinnamon AT ALL. Called afterwards to talk to someone and they really didn't seem like they cared. $24 for donuts down the drain because we threw most of them away.

Amazing donuts, and the staff is so sweet. Highly recommend!

line out the door! excellent doughnuts, they seem to run out early . worth the wait.

We've known the owners that actually work there for 14 years since my daughter was a baby. If I go in there without her or my son she always asks about them. Nicest people ever.

The doughnuts here are so good. I live in NYC and when I come to California my daughter and son know where to take me. So fresh and good ??

By far the best donuts in the West Roseville area. Mary is super nice, remembers most customers and tries to have the donuts you like on hand when you come in, which is tough on the weekends. If you like authentic donuts this is the place to go.

Friendly staff. Place is clean. Limited variety and donuts aren?t anything to write home about.

If I could give zero stars I would. Worst doughnut place around. I've gone in there 3 separate times at 545 am and they have no doughnuts, but have been open since 430 am. Why are you open if you have no doughnuts? We tried again now and not to my surprise, nothing and dirty.... this place sucks.. looks more like a front for something...

Mary's Donutz are FAMOUS AROUND the WORLD. ..delightfully lite secret dough blend ends in puffy crusty crispy jelly cream filled delicious nutritious king sized raised glazed apple fritters old fashioned buttermilk...LOVE em

Friendly owners who always greet you when you walk in, and the best part is their delicious donuts ?? I prefer these over the other big brand name places any day!

Finally a donut shop that is always fully stocked. Super tasty donuts. Just go there and try them they're pretty good! Nothing like a mom and pop donut

This is the best place in Roseville, we?ve gone here for years now we take are grandchildren. It?s family owned and the service is the best. If you ever want a good fresh, non greasy donut this is the place

Best donuts in the area. Run by a lovely family. After one visit the owner already knew our names and greeted us personally on our next visit.

This place is a must go to for donuts in Roseville. It is family owned and they are very nice people. As for the donuts, they are fresh and tasty. My family has been going here for years.

Best donut shop ever! Mary knows everyone and her donuts never disappoint! Just plan ahead, she is busy all morning...every morning:)

I love their donuts and the owners are so nice. My favorites are their French donut and their apple fritter. But they really are all great!

AMAZING...as always..so gracious...great customer service... Donuts are absolutely best! Mary and her family rock

Mary is the owner operator. I have been going there for years she remembers everyone's name and how they like their donuts. Best donuts in town!

Went before 10am on a weekend and they were out of many types of donuts. The donuts weren't fresh. Just not too good.

Great donuts, some of the best around. Not a huge variety but they are extra light, soft and light on the frosting.

Best donuts ever! Highly recommend this place. Mary is super nice and cares about her customers too.

Awesome donuts. We have been going here for many a year and they serve up Great Donuts all the time!!

The maple donuts taste like Krispy Kreme donuts where the maple is diluted with a glaze. Okay place if you like Krispy Kreme (which are the worst type of donuts). The nearby Duncan donuts has much better maple.

GREAT family run business!!!! We have a standing order every Thursday morning.. . No worries the order is always fresh and ready to go on time!!!!

Better than any donut shop ever made great staff friendly people and no cheap disgusting filing unlike krispy kream and all of my kids never want to leave!????

Amazing!! The owners are so nice and remember everyone's names and details about their daily lives. It feels like you're family when you visit here and you can't beat the prices or quality!

Shop local/support local..love this place over the big chain stores..We shop here often..the owner has to be the nicest person..we shop here often.

Wonderful family owned donut shop. Always delicious and the owner who works the counter is super friendly .

This is the best donuts place in town! Always great service and delicious donuts.

this place is by far the best place to get donuts. Go visit my friend Mary who owns it and tell her Rick sent you

The BEST donut shop around... Marry is so helpful. Get there early, they sell out quickly.

The best local family owned donut business in town. Always fresh and incredibly yummy

Put a half dozen donuts in a paper bag all smashed and leaking. I?ve never seen a donut shop do that before

They take so long to give you your donuts. Baker Ben?s on Douglas is quicker?

Absolutely nice people and AMAZING donuts. Better than Krispy Cr?me and Dunkin I promise

Fast friendly and the food is GOOD. Great place to stop and buy donuts for your work team.

Went here for the first time today! Great Local Donuts! Friendly service!

GREAT variety and friendly staff, my kids love seeing ms. Mary to get there donuts.

Went there for coffee and when Mary found out it was my birthday...she gave me a donut for free! Super nice family business....go there NOW!

Mary is so nice. She is always happy and helpful. Best donuts in Roseville

Great donuts, but get there early because there is a long line after 7:30

Mom and pop realness in a town that sorely lacks it! Love it here, especially for their buttermilk bars.

Clean. Feels like a neighborhood gathering place: questions to ask about the family and how children have grown. You don't see this anymore.

Best donuts we have had, line is normally out the door but the line moves surprisingly quickly.

Great donuts! Very friendly staff. Awesome small business.

Super nice and clean. Excellent and soft apple fritters (not greasy or overly glazed.)

Good donuts made on site. Not a large selection, but they are fresh and good quality.

Very good traditional donuts, but if you get there after 10.00am on the weekends, you may be disappointed!

the donuts here are ok. they aren't anything special but they are usually fresh and there isn't a better donut shop in the area.
