Customer Reviews

Joy donuts is a terrible experience. I went to Joy donuts on Saturday to see if they can make me some fresh donuts. I absolutely love hot donuts. The Asian lady hands me a business card and she told me to call the donut before 8:00am and she will make me some fresh donuts. On Monday morning I called Joy donuts before 8:00am and the same Asian lady tells me that she couldn?t make them because it was 30 minutes before 8:00am. So I decided to wait the following day which is today Tuesday, March 22. I called T
