Customer Reviews

The best bear claw I have had. Fresh and delicious.

The donuts here are the BOMB. There is nothing fancy about them, they have all the usual ones a donut place should have like glazed, twists, devilsfood etc. But these donuts are delicious. They are perfectly sweet with a perfect consistency. I could eat a whole box! The only thing that I'm not happy about is that their prices have gotten kind of expensive. I also used to get a discount when I ordered a dozen or more, but now it's close to $20 bucks. I used to get a dozen+ every weekend, but now I'll maybe g

I live around the corner from this donut shop for over 5 years. I like to play daily 3 and because this store recently won one of the big jack pots, I decided to start buying here. Big mistake! I spent $9 on multiple tickets. I had 2 tickets that need to be checked. This was at around 3:25 pm. The lady that was their was rude I walked up to the counter placed two ticket to be checked and nine to pay for (she looked at me did not touch the tickets and said "did you check?" I said yes two free tickets. She th

I've taken my kid here to get a donut before her summer school. I guess a dollar for a maple bar is standard these days. The Apple fritters look awesome. Their old fashioned butter milk doing look good too. But I've honestly never had them myself. But I will be back with a half gallon of milk to try all of them

After staying in the area for a few weeks, it was a.daily walk to get coffee. Good coffee, then eventually tried the donuts, really good, they don't weigh you down, not too sweet. I like them, I just can't do donuts everyday for health, but certainly visiting everyday for coffee.

This place is great, I love the coffee. The people who work here are wonderful. On a side note I was reading reviews. I've never had a bad experience here. These people work very hard, they are here everyday. It's business like this that are "the good old days".

Lottery sales is the focus here, not donuts. Donuts are good and they have a fair variety but expect to wait for service behind lottery number pickers. The little table space is occupied by lottery customers scratching off their cards. There are better choices for donut bakeries focused on baked goods along Foothill.

The google hours say open until 11pm, but I just arrived at 8pm and the sign was already turned to "closed". There was a woman inside but when I approached the door, she very rudely shooed me away, refusing to come to the door or acknowledge me, and then hid away in the back. I just wanted to ask when they closed and let her know that Google said 11pm, because if that isn't their hours, they should probably update it! But no. She was super rude and treated me like a stray animal at the door. I do NOT recomm

I went here about noon today. The lady working behind the counter was probably one of the top five most beautiful women I have ever seen. I intend to return every day until I find an opportunity to ask her to marry me. Wish me luck ??

Golden donuts is 1 of the three donut shops I visit in Arcadia. I have to say that I like their cinnamon rolls the best. There is a small area to eat inside and they have all the donut shop staples such as coffe and bottled drinks. You can also get lotto here and they recently sold a big winner in the last 2 years.

At 3pm on August 16th, the waitress was very rude. We just wanted to buy one more donut. She was very impatient and scolded us for how many donuts we wanted. I really hope her boss reads this comment

I go here for the convenience. The wait is never long if any, and the selection and taste of the donuts is good. The staff aren't very friendly though.

Had to give one stars because their hours of operations do not match. I went on thursday 6/6/19 around 9pm and they were CLOSED! if they can't update their hours then how the hell can they run a business. 1/5 for sure!

This donuts has the best donuts around. Nothing beats them. The owners are very nice people. Never have problems.

The bear claw!! Here it is real thin, the apple filling is on point, the texture quality is always rocking, Hands down I'll come here anytime to get this treat. Matter of fact, my mouth is watering for that bear claw right now!!!
