Customer Reviews

You can tell a lot about a place by its customers. Most of them this morning were on their way to work, & very nice & helpful. When the female clerk had me wait till she rang up 7 people to get more coffee sleeves. I personally liked the #3 & coffee. The manners were not good by the workers and I know they?d treat their own people better. But I liked the food and the simplicity of this donut shop.

Really tasty donuts! Great coffee too. Servers are nice and it seems to be family owned. Definitely a bit small but I understand.

Best donut shop in town!!! the lady?s there super nice. I always get the ham and cheese croissant with either the Java chip or strawberry banana smoothie. 10/10 !!

Mediocre donuts in a sketchy shopping center but they are open at 4am. Also, a few doors down is a 24hr smoke shop that has cigars. I enjoyed the chocolate filled croissant the most and the prices were on par with other local donut shops.

Literally the BEST place place to get boba and their donuts are delicious ??

Harbor donuts is a great place to visit if u like polite & quick service early in the morning. There's no waiting so I'm never late for work. I give this place 100 thumbs up.

Great selection of sanwhiches and somewhat healthy as well. Being a frappe and shake lover I tried 2 but they aren't as great. Not expensive though and they accept card so that's a plus.

Beware, this place has over charged me twice in 2 different occasions, I asked for a receipt and they can?t provide it ?due to the register not working?. I brought it to the lady and they refuse to let me see what she was charging.
