Customer Reviews

Donuts are fresh and warm at 6am. I really like this place.

Best donuts of anywhere I've lived and I've lived in Tucson, Phoenix, Houston... Donuts are golden and slightly crispy on the outside and super fluffy and airy on the inside. 9 times out of 10 the chocolate and maple bars are still warm when i get them, and I'm not an early riser! Best donuts of ANYWHERE in Fresno for sure, maybe the WORLD!

Cashier was rude, had to many flies inside, donuts were not fresh an hard, had to literally step over someone laying outside of the entrance. Smelled like urine outside of the establishment need I say more!?! Me personally I will never go back there an I live a block away

I myself have a addiction to doughnuts. Because not all doughnuts are the same. Old school doughnuts have always been the most popular. Love them and the owner that makes them. Thank you Susan.

It's placed in somewhat of a rough part of town. However the donuts are great

1st time @ Kimbo?s Donuts and I?m so glad I went!!! Best cinnamon roll I?ve had in quite a while; soft and yummy!!! Great donuts and good prices!! So glad I stopped by! Polite people working behind the counter Will be returning!!

Their donuts are very good, but to be honest, I went in right at lunch time to get a couple of cold drinks after a major laundry visit next door. What I will say is this...the ladies who work there are always pleasant, and always respectful regardless the nature or temperament of those who come in. Prices are about what you'd expect. If you are a get-in get-out type of customer, they are definitely your cup of tea. The only negative is that it doesn't appear they provide the atmosphere needed for senior

Kimbos donuts are my favorite donuts I've had in fresno ca. I gave them a 5 star for the flavor of the donut not the environment. If you don't mind the area but love good donuts Kimbos is the spot. I've been coming here for 13yrs now.

Donuts were fresh service was great. This is a no sit Donut place and I can see why the neighborhood is sketchy. Lots of homeless but don't let that scare you the Donuts are bomb!

Fresh and so... taste! And friendly smile with every sale,order,just happy to be their. Only wish they'd Maple long johns with bacon on tops. Don't judge it untill you've had them folks. Ricky McCoy

The young lady and man are very friendly and nice. Despite the area its clean. The Donuts and Coffee is good

Looks to be family owned. Everything looked fresh and delicious. Picked up 2 dozen for my company and they seemed to love them. Will be back again for sure!!

I don't know what happened Google you say 7 months ago I just went through about thirty days or 40 days ago they have some really good donuts just like all your donut places nothing specialbut if you like the service they have it there and they have every beverage you would think to have in the morning with coffee chocolateI would have your drink maybe for the morning they have that and all the donuts you always wanted to get at a donut store

Some of the best classic donuts in town, the Boston creme donuts are a personal favorite of mine. They get it right every single time.

This place has the softest donuts in town. You gotta get there early cuz they sell out quick for a reason. They are the bomb.

Great doughnuts. Almost as good as Winchell's, unfortunately Winchell's went out of business, due to corny azz Dunkin donuts, with their nasty greasy donuts. Kimbos... second best after Winchell's, and 10 times better than Dunkin and crispy creme donuts.

Been coming here for years. This is the spot for donuts if you happen to be on the west side of Fresno California

Cheap and fresh doughnuts just want more flavor selections but overall I love this place so does my kids and laundry mat next door

Not a great side of town this shop Deserve s to be in a better location but donuts are so fresh and good believe he does well and his family are such nice people good job Jimbo.

My favorite donut shop in Fresno. I love the maple bars and my husband loves the old fashioned, but you can?t go wrong with any of the donuts!

Went there with my new coworker who's been going here for years.....It was a really good donut....

Kimbo's always makes me feel like family no matter what and I love their sausage/bacon and egg sandwiches

I'm sorry too say that it's not open and it seems all the donuts are gone but the sodas look refreshing. I guess he had his share of running the place for succulent years.

Best donuts in Fresno no joke. Support local businesses during the pandemic. I recommend maple bars or old fashioned my favorite.

The owners are nice and donuts are good, but the location is horrible. Lots of homeless hanging out outside asking for change or food.

Great place every morning I stopped into the donuts are still warm like that just came out of the oven

Delicious donuts at an affordable price. The lady who helped us get a dozen was very nice and accommodating!

This is such a great place to get fresh donuts but they go fast.friendly and fresh great service.

Wish they had more of a variety...like some colorful colors that look appealing for kids. But overall friendly nd fast service nd tastes good.

The donuts were great. My only complaint is they don't have filled bars, only donuts they fill the hole with custard, which seemed a messy endeavour.
