Customer Reviews

First time going here and it was so good. I was looking for a homemade donut shop near my work and I'm glad I found this one. The donuts are delicious and fresh. I enjoyed the assortment of flavors. I also got a Thai iced tea, which was really good. He put in four free donuts holes in my order which was nice. I'll definitely be back!

"Forget church, folks. My Sunday morning ritual now involves a holy trek to Glaze 'n Daze in Johnston. I've seen the light, and it's a neon sign illuminating a case of perfectly fried, sugar-coated salvation. Seriously, these donuts are less a breakfast item and more a transcendental experience. I swear, biting into their maple bacon donut felt like a tiny, delicious pig ascended straight to my taste buds, playing a harp made of crispy bacon. The staff? Angels in aprons. They handle the Sunday rush with the

Found this bussiness when it popped up on my Instagram feed. Delicious donuts and so many options. The building itself was a little hard to get to in the morning traffic but definitely worth it. We tried 4 of their specialty donuts and would definitely go again!

We have been getting glaze n daze donuts delivered to us for 5 yrs! For the first time ever I took my two youngest with me to go to the actual store front. It's your classic little donut shop store front with the kitschy art on the walls & orange metal seats. We got two sunny d drinks, 2 large coffees, four beautiful fresh donuts (I forgot to take pics!), with a 15% tip came to $29. My youngest wanted a strawberry sprinkle but they only had strawberry glazed w/o sprinkles, so the woman at the counter made h

Still the best fritter I?ve ever had! I was last here 4 years ago and I have yet to have a fritter this good. It?s still only $3.09. The exterior is amazing, crunchy and the taste is excellent with a perfect glaze. A few places (Knead) sell ?fritters? but they?re just brioche donuts that look like a fritter on the outside. Fritters have to be thin and not formed before frying. I also got a hazelnut filled donut ($2.39) which had that nostalgic donut taste. It had a nice airy dough, but unfortunately they

Very difficult to make a choice. Every donut looks so good. I got jelly, coco pebbles, and cream Brule. I love that he has original flavors. I also got a Thai ice tea. If you have never tried it I suggest you do. The donuts are light and fluffy. The two men working were courteus and pleasant. One went in back to make my cream Brule donut. Came out crisp and delicious.

I appreciate good homemade donuts ?? this place makes great donuts! Get there early! I have too many favorites to list lol I love them all equally ?? thank you for getting up early and making fresh donuts for us! These are not dense heavy greasy donuts at all, they are light fluffy and airy ??

Really nice family-owned place, delicious donuts without the overhype or crazy markup. The creme br?l?e and PB&J donuts are to die for!!! Great Thai iced tea and coffee beverages as well. 10/10 great for a lil treat or a special occasion!

This place is a hidden gem. Forget PVDonuts or Knead - Glaze n Daze is miles tastier, more affordable, and the service is hard to beat. Their chocolate frosting is my favorite (even beat Dunkin's decades long reign as my favorite) and every donut we tried was better than the last. You HAVE to come here

Amazing variety and flavors of all types and kinds! I got the PB&J and jelly donuts, and the apple fritter is probably the best one I?ve ever had.

Absolutely delicious. We've liked every donut we've tried from this place! The best is the classic glazed donut, or glazed donut holes. The cold brew is also great.

i'm back with an edit. Idk why it says my original review was from a year ago, I first ordered from glaze n daze back during the height of the pandemic 2020-2021! I came back to say the donuts are still incredible & I appreciate that the prices have stayed low. These donuts are better than knead & PVD donuts by miles. If you're looking for excellent donuts from a small family owned shop, this is a must try.* First time ordering & I have to say, WOW. Not only did they deliver my half dozen donuts real fast

This place was literally AMAZING. Best donuts I?ve EVER had!! They were huge soft and so fresh!! The cr?me br?l?e donut was the best thing ever I?m literally speechless? the Boston creme was huge and stuffed full then the fruity pebbles OG glaze and strawberry crunch was all phenomenal !! I drove 30 minutes for this place and I?d do it again!! Oh yeah I forgot to mention they threw in a few free munchinks!! I saw a couple reviews mentioning they did this but of course I wasn?t going to be expecting it and t

These fresh homemade donuts are amazing. Family owned and operated. Get the PB&J donut, it'll change your life trajectory. Great for little kids too with the wide low display case, they can really get their choices.

Yummy donuts. There wasn't much variety left when we arrived early afternoon. I told my friend we should have arrived earlier. The Donuts we did have were soft and tasty. The jelly threw me off because I think it was cherry or raspberry (can't accurately recall). Also, it was really nice of the person behind the counter to throw in a few donut holes!!

This place is awesome. The guy who runs it is very accommodating and excited to serve donuts. It boosts my mood when I walk in. So far, the maple sprinkle and vanilla coconut toast are my favorites. All of the flavors I've tried have been great. Get there early! It's rare, in 2024, to find someone who enjoys what they do. It's even more rare to find it on a Sunday morning. Everyone go get a donut and enjoy.

As always, amazing experience. He always greets you when you walk in with a smile on his face. There is absolutely no wrong choice when choosing a donut, they are all amazing! Highly recommend!!

Good selection of unique donuts for a very reasonable pricing. The fruit pebbles donut was definitely my favorite but I can't wait to be able to try others.

Really good donuts. The Apple fritters were on point. Lots of fun flavors and decent prices. Will definitely go again! Edit: Went again and it was even better. Apple fritter was better than I remembered. Creme brulee donut was on another level.

Amazing cake and so nice there! Will definitely return for another thank you!

This is a hidden gem that I hope doesnt stay hidden long. They have been open for a while so people need to get in there!! Service is excellent, they are very nice. Doughnuts are amazing. I highly recommend the strawberry cream cheese filled( it's the bitten on lol) and they are cheaper than pvd doughnuts and knead doughnuts and during the quarantine you dont have to pre order or anything you can get the craving for a drought and just go get one. They also have better parking so it's easier to get to them.

Very lovely little donut shop. Service was a little slow and donuts were decently pricey, but they were amazing and well worth the wait. Had some interesting flavors as well, in addition to regular glazed and such.

We drove 45 minutes! Let me tell you it was worth every single minute! Donuts were still warm!

Wow. So hard to decide!! Absolutely delicious ??

amazing donuts and staff. you need to try the creme Brule donut and the maple bacon. out of this world. also the staff is very friendly.

I need you to understand how surprised you will be at how good these are. The donuts are fantastic and the customer service is great. They always through in something extra and it's not even needed.

Glaze'n Daze is a great addition to the gourmet donut craze. Their donuts are light and fluffy, also a great size- not too big, not too small. I really enjoyed their blueberry donut, and the hazelnut. My husband loved the plain glazed and the stranger things donut. We can't wait to go back :)

Unassuming donut shop with a fun variety of glazed donuts. Prices are great. Definitely a hit with kids or anyone who prefers a VERY sweet, sticky glazed donut.

Wonderful little doughnut shop on the Providence/Johnston line! They have a good variety of toppings on some incredible light, fluffy doughnuts (which I prefer to the denser, cake-like ones you typically find at PVDonuts) and they?re prices are pretty affordable. Friendly and quick service plus a small selection of coffee and other drinks makes this my favorite place for doughnuts in the Providence area, with Knead as a close second!

Taste exactly like Dunkin!?if you want to try good donuts, try Allies Donuts. Nothing special about this spot.

I wish I had taken a picture but the donuts are amazing! Forget about going anywhere else go to this place they have donuts with cereal on them filled donuts glazed donuts red velvet donuts everything you can think of they have! They are so light I swear I ate two in a row.. Update:

The owners are extremely nice. I had mentioned how I had never been in before and since it was close to when they close, they gave me a bunch of free donuts. The donuts are delicious. The Maple Bacon is out of this world

As someone who loves sweets this place hits the spot! They?re always fresh, always delicious & i usually order on DoorDash! I am addicted 10/10

I really enjoyed the donuts here, their beacon doughnuts was soooooo delicious!!

Yummy ?? soft donuts, the staff are always nice, they serve coffee hot or ice, chi tea, ect.

This place is NOT playing around. Famous for their maple bacon donut which sells out in a matter of hours after opening, they're other donuts are just as good, the PBJ and hazelnut filling donut is amazing! Another hidden gem, make sure to pick up a dozen or few!

Best apple fritter I've had in RI. Super crunchy, huge and delish. The coffee is good, all the donuts look amazing. I can't wait to try them all. Dont waste your time in line at PVD donuts, this place is better. It's a good thing Johnston isn't too close to my house or this place would make me get fat. The family that owns/runs the shop is super nice too. And yes, that is a bacon maple donut in this picture. I'll be eating that later today :)

Best donuts in RI. Some of the best donuts I've ever tasted. The owners/staff are so kind and nice. The only suggestion I would give them is to make more cake donuts, and that's only because those are my favorite. Their yeast donuts are just out-of-this-world good and I know they would make incredible cake donuts. We have a good number of really good donut shops in RI, but this one has the best tasting, best textured donuts I have tasted. Also, seriously, the best apple fritter I have ever tasted. Go early

Phenomenal donuts!! Today was my first visit and these are my new favorite donuts of all time. These are perfectly light and fluffy with a nice bite and delicious frosting. The strawberry crumble was especially great - it had the perfect amount of sweetness without being overdone. They were fresh and delicious even at 12pm on a weekday. I will definitely be back! These are worth a drive ??

Donuts are so soft and delicious. I highly recommend. I'll make an update for how they taste next day. But it's so good

I've never had such light delicious donuts. And the assortment of flavors is great. Traditional some, but try something new, you won't regret it! Pistachio Milk was amazing and I definitely should have brought home more of the pineapple coconut!

Amazing donuts and a good price. Fresh. Person who helped me out was so nice and even explained how you can put any filling inside. Told me the different types. Very friendly. Will come again

This is my favorite breakfast place around. The sandwiches!!!! The sandwiches are so delicious, and they really put care into the ingredients and the sandwich to make sure every bite is full of bacon, egg and cheese and is great. The donuts are unmatched in terms of flavor and fluffy texture. These donuts won't leave you with your teeth hurting, they're the perfect balance.

I'm happy to see smaller more exclusive specialty donut shops like the west coast has. This place is absolutely divine, and completely replaced my need for any other donut from anywhere ever. Change my mind!

They are very nice people and the donuts are really good and gourmet.

My favorite donut spot, but beware?.. bought three dozen few weeks back to take to nurses and they went in Back room to make some up which they willingly do and that?s fune, , but all my talk about how great they were went bad because they used the already sweet glazed donut as a base for my other choices like m & m and stranger things! So they were waaaaaay tooooo sweeet!!!! There prices are HIGH and I haven?t been back since

OMG to die for Donuts. It's a must have go out and get you some. You will not regret it. Well you will regret the pounds you gain cause you will get hooked. 2 Thumbs up ??

Really great donuts , fresh coffee and friendly service. Side note: I only drink decaf coffee and he didn't have it made and he made it fresh for me :)

My favorite is the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Maple Bacon and Fruity Pebbles donuts!

Excellent donuts. Staff member was quick and efficient.

I never liked donuts much, I would have them maybe a couple of times a year until my son brought me these. Now I visit about twice a week. The best donuts I've ever had. The price is good, service is awesome and the staff is great. I wish them much success.

Great place, very friendly Family owned place! Please support these businesses other wise we are stuck with Dunkin and Starbucks dodo? Get the fresh strawberry and cream donut! Not on the menu, have to ask for it and wait maybe 5 minutes?they cut the strawberry fresh to order! ????

I was looking for light and airy donuts, and Glaze'n Daze was the very first shop that popped up on Google. No wonder! These donuts are like eating a delicious fluffy cloud. You can really appreciate the airiness in the classic donuts. The gourmet donuts on the other hand are packed full of flavor. I got the strawberry cream cheese, which is filled with a generous amount of fresh smooth creamy filling right when you order it. The owner is absolutely lovely and so very kind. I will definitely be ordering fro

It doesn't look like it, but this is one of the best donut places on Earth. Crazy delicious donuts and the staff are the absolute BEST! They have a very unique peanut butter and jelly flavor that I recommend everyone try. All their donuts were exceptional though.

These donuts are incredible. If you compare these to those of more popular gourmet places you'll find these donuts far softer, lighter with a less complicated flavors which really elevates each individual flavor. There's beauty and quality in this simplicity as there's not a ton of sugar and overpowering flavors to hide behind. These are the donuts for people who love donuts, period. That being said the apple fritter could have been better. The apple was a little too subtle and was overpowered by the frie

I've been meaning to leave a review for the store. The donuts are absolutely fantastic and there's a great variety with some really interesting twists on traditional Donuts. The owners the family that operates the store are just lovely people. The very polite and friendly. I also wanted to mention their generosity. 3 days a week they donate their leftover Donuts to a local sort of halfway house. I'm talking like 60 Donuts 3 days a week. For a lot of guys that don't have much this gesture of kindness means

Not like other gourmet donut shops. Most others make donuts with more of a heavy cake making them difficult to finish. These donuts were the perfect amount. Nice and airy and not too dense. Delicious! Even the cereal on top of the donut was still fresh and not stale or soggy like other donut shops. I ordered some donuts online for a family gathering. They were ready when I went to pick them up and were a hit at the get together! Will be buying from here again.

Donuts are delicious, and probably the best we have eaten so far! We had Boston cream, jelly filled and cream filled, strange things, and vanilla bean old fashion. They are all very tasty and well made. Not too sweet and not two heavy. Another thing we liked about them is that they are not too fancy, keeping it a real donut. I definitely recommend.

I stopped in for a treat with my daughter after driving by many times. The folks running this place are super nice and it is reasonably priced. The Thai iced tea was fun but I don't think it is made with sweetened condensed milk. It was still pretty good. My daughter gave it two thumbs up :)

Best donuts I've ever had! The Stranger Things Donut is my absolute favorite. I wish I lived closer, I'd get some all the time! There is a great selection of flavors, and some of them are very creative. It's well worth it to spend the little extra money for these donuts than to just go to Dunks

I liked the doughnuts from here. They were pretty good and had a solid variety. The customer service was lacking, felt rushed and the not at all genuine. For something fun like doughnuts I just expected a little more. I?d gladly go back but it f I never made it back I wouldn?t be missing much

Doughnuts are amazing! Light and fluffy. Unique flavor options that don?t disappoint - Boston cream and maple bacon were on point. Definitely recommend.

By far ,THE BEST donuts I have had in years. Dough is so fresh. You can tell they only serve fresh and not day old. They melt in your mouth. Just bought 2 dozen. They are unreal. 5 star all the way!!! The cookies and cream are my favorite!!

The donuts that I always bring home and my family always say wow, where did you get these!!!! Definitely on the expensive end though. Go early for the best selection. Little dining room to eat and they also have coffee available too! One of the best apple fritters in the state! Even filled the Boston creme donut as I ordered it because they didn't want it to get mushy over time. Dough so light and fluffy. Delicious.

I never knew this place existed until recently and I'm so glad I found it, these donuts definitely stand up to Pvdonuts and Knead donuts. They're different, these are a bit more soft but still very delicious. There are a tons of different flavors such as lemon poppy seed, strawberry, and good old glazed donuts. My favorites are the triple chocolate and lemon poppy seed. The service was great and the donuts are super affordable! Definitely recommend any donut fanatics try this place out! Plus bagels are av

Amazing donuts! The owners are so sweet ! They have a great selection of flavors and i love that they fill the donuts on the spot!

Had a pineapple coconut that was fine, the yeast dough overpowered the pineapple coconut glaze and I was expecting it to be the other way around. Then I bit into my creme brulee donut and ??. It was amazing. Knead Donuts was great but this place is half the cost.

Best Fresh Donuts AROUND!!! This amazing man dose most of not all the work but himself!! On taste and you will never go to Dunkin or Honey Dew Again!! I am going to write to Best Or RI because the consistency of the flavors and the homemade deliciousness is One Of A Kind!!! Local Gem For Sure!!!

Great gourmet donuts! It's different and tasty. Who says donuts have to be boring! They have all sorts of different flavors and toppings. But they go fast, have to get there early. Plus, it's very clean and donuts were always fresh!

We went late in the day so they had a low selection of donuts which is our fault. However there were still plenty of regular glazed donuts left. The woman working offered to decorate and top them any way on the menu, which was awesome. They looked just how they do in the website's pictures. She threw in a free donut too. Very nice. The donuts themselves were great. almost all of our donuts were just decorated regular donuts. they were light and airy. Most end-of-day donuts taste oily and dense. these remai

I travel for donuts (and food) and these donuts are delicious on their own, but are amazing with the assorted toppings and fillings. Love their Maple Bacon, Oreo Cr?me, and Banana Cr?me! It's always a hard choice between their flavors. Their customer service is warm and friendly.

It's a family place and every time I go in there I'm treated like family they don't remember me that's just how they treat everyone and the donuts are amazing so fresh and a great value!!

The glazed donut is easily the softest donut I've ever had. Almost too soft. So soft that it melts almost as soon as you bite it and that bite is over before you know it. These delicious base donuts get topped with lots of fun options for a better experience than most places that offer "gramable" donuts. These donuts do end up being a little bit smaller than the average donut size but do cost as much as some of the fancier donut shops.

I have tried all the famous donuts places. Knead, PVD , and Allies. But, none of them compare to the donuts sold here. They are absolutely amazing. They also have amazing coffee and great, friendly customer service. I cant help but come many times a week. Also they are very reasonably priced. I definitely recommend trying this place out if you like donuts.

Despite stiff competition, I'm pretty sure Glaze'n Daze makes the best donuts I've ever eaten. They are light, airy, and tender, with glazes that are just flavorful yet delicate enough to complement the pastry. The orange glazed remains my absolute favorite: the fresh orange glaze has a beautiful citrus tartness that perfectly balances the sweetness. It's not always available, tragically, but perhaps we can convince them to make it a staple.

It's hard to mess up donuts. It's even harder to perfect them. This is really close to perfection. Soft, melts-in-your-mouth deliciousness. Excellent customer service too (threw in a few donut holes for my daughter). Very highly recommended.

I was so craving an M&M donut, and these were perfectly fluffy, and super sugary. I was full within two donuts! I also had a nice quality coffee to go with my donut. I'm glad this is here, there's kind people at the counter, and was told its a family business; I will be back again.

We stopped here as a part of the RI food fight competition and boy were we glad we did! This unassuming little shop happens to carry some of the best doughnuts we?ve had, was super friendly and the staff even offered to make some fresh doughnuts for the flavors that were low! The service was also quick, in addition to being friendly which is always a treat. The doughnuts here are soft, delicious and tasted fresh even when we came by mid morning! The toppings are creative and some of the combinations are al

Some of the best donuts in New England.

Best donuts I've ever had. I can't stop thinking about this place. The owner is so nice and you can tell they care about what they do. Best donuts you will ever have!

The coffee here is really good, and the Apple fritter was just the best. Bacon maple donut was a far second, but the cinnamon toast crunch donut was WAY too sweet. I'd certainly come back and try one of the cake donuts

Such a wonderful and delicious donut shop. Also has pretty good coffee and great staff.

The owners are very nice people! Was skeptical of trying this place but I love donuts so I gave it a try and I loved them! Their plain glazed is by far the best donut they have, it reminds me of a better homemade version of Krispy Kreme! Give them a try!

The BEST donuts in Providence (and maybe the world?)! The regular glaze donut is from heaven! Prices are amazing! and the creative more unique flavored donuts are amazing too! Definitely one of my favorite spots in Providence!

Light and airy donuts with creative flavors that aren't too off the wall. Highly recommend the PB and J for jelly lovers. Looking for gluten free? Pop in next door to SANS GLUTEN and you won't be dissapointed. In fact, regardless of whether or not you typically eat gluten free, its worth visiting both spots.

No joke, some of the best donuts I've ever had. The kind of place you think about and come back to, if you move away.

These donuts were SO good. Light and delicious!

Just tried these. Heard lots of good things - and they weren't lying. They are AMAZING! Delicious. So good. Don't go anywhere else for doughnuts! Update - been here 2x now. So good. Cr?me br?l?e donut and apple fritter are amazing!
