Customer Reviews

Probably the best donuts I?ve had! Cake donuts aren?t usually my go to, but I had reviews about the blueberry cake donut, so I tried it?OMG! Amazing!!!!! It?s all I?ve talked about for the last month and a half!!! Finally going to the mountains today so stopped for more!! Can?t wait to try more! They are the perfect crunch on the outside and soft and moist inside! Taking some home to share with others because every one needs to know about these donuts! Take the extra 1.5 miles to get off of I70, you will no

Cute little donut shop, ladies working there were very kind, we tried a dozen donuts, kolaches, and a breakfast sandwich. Apple fritter was amazing, cronut was awesome, Maple was tasty, anything filled was solid as well. Had a couple sprinkle iced as well. Will be going back. The sandwich was delicious, could use hot sauce. And the kolaches were amazing. 9.5/10 food overall. Some Better than most, but that?s preference. They were all fresh and lasted for a couple few days as well and still delicious!

Frigging fantastic food. This lady can bake. The biscuits and gravy is made with sausage gravy and huge southern style biscuits. The sausage, cheese and jalape?o kolachees are the bomb. I would definitely come back. They have fruity pebbles sprinkled in the donut glaze... they have an awesome selection!!!

I stopped by this donut shop around 6, and all the donuts were incredibly fresh. The lady working there was so kind, making the visit even better. Their donuts are perfectly light and fluffy, but still have that delightful chewy, bouncy texture?definitely not the cakey kind you often get. The glazes and fillings strike a perfect balance, not overly sweet, and I loved the subtle hint of rum in the filling. Highly recommend!

This was an absolute must in Empire!! Greeted with smiles and the freshest homemade baked goods! Some sweet and some savory, lots of choices. We got there around noon, so after the morning rush and there were still super fresh items to choose from! So glad we stopped, can't wait to return! ????

We have tried lots of donut places in our lifetime around the country , but this place is hands down the best. Everything was so fresh and tasted even better than we had been hoping. Roommate got an apple fritter, which I'm usually not a fan of, but I tried a bite and loved it. Pillowy soft, not chemically sweet like most places. Texture was perfect. If I didn't live 17 hours away, I'd be a regular.

Great post skiing treat on the way home. They had a good selection of fresh donuts that were your basic cake donuts! Be sure to stop by if you?re in town or driving through

We stopped in at Lady Donut House as a club after a trail run?and wow, everything was great! The donuts were fresh and delicious and the service was super friendly. Definitely hit the spot after a day on the trails. We?ll be back for sure!

This is a wonderful place to stop in Empire, CO! The donuts are delicious, the coffee is good, and the bathroom is clean! We frequently drive between Denver and Grand County, CO, and we Lady Donuts will be our go-to from now on. The donuts, in particular, are so so good. It?s hard to make good donuts at high altitudes, and these were a big hit for everyone in our party, from age 7 to age 77!

We?ve been eagerly awaiting the opening of this donut shop in Empire, and we were not disappointed with our first (of many, I?m sure!) visits today. We were pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of flavors and high quality donuts. We ordered a glazed, maple and berry-filled iced donut to go after having lunch next door at Joy?s Kitchen. Even though we were positively stuffed, only 1 donut was still in the bag 10 minutes later?the smells were just too tempting! Plenty of seating and some cute photo ops ou

Lady Donuts was an absolute hit at our recent event! We ordered several dozen donuts, and they were devoured in no time. The donuts were delicious, with a yummy assortment of flavors to please everyone. The lady working there provided excellent service. Highly recommend!

Stopped by Lady Donuts House, while driving through Empire to Denver. Great decision! The donuts were fresh and so tasty! The cake donuts were make just how we liked them, with the slightest bit of crunch on the outside. Customer Service was superb! We?ll be stopping by again!

Oh my goodness! The reviews are right - the donuts, fritters and kolaches are divine. We even got a plain, glazed donut to get a baseline, and it was melt-in-your mouth perfection. Not a heavy, greasy donut - light and airy sweetness. Highly recommend - stop in and enjoy!

Really good house made donuts. Owners were really nice.

A hidden gem!!!! Everything was absolutely delicious!! The biscuits and gravy were heaven! The service was great and everything is made fresh.

SO YUMMY! Best blueberry cake doughnut of all time. And I love the savory sausage rolls as well!

FINALLY A REASON TO STOP IN EMPIRE! We have driven through Empire all our life and there has never been a good reason to stop until now. Lady Donuts House might have the best doughnuts in Colorado. The prices are reasonable and you are helping support local business. Next time you head up to Winter Park take a ten minute break and get your doughnut before the pass. Or grab one or two before hitting I-70 it will be a delightful highlight.

The best yeast donut ever! Not to sweet, light and fluffy. Not cheap, but I?ll pay for perfection!

They have REAL cream for coffee! Must stop on any trip to the mountains from Denver! Cronut?amazing, maple glazed?amazing! Love them and their donuts!

Honestly some of the best donuts I?ve had in Colorado! The apple fritter was my fave. A great pre or post skiing treat :)

If you?re passing through Empire, Colorado, you must stop at Lady House Donuts. This little hole-in-the-wall spot is a true hidden gem, serving up some of the best homemade bagels and doughnuts you?ll ever taste. The bagels have that perfect balance of chewiness and flavor, while the doughnuts are light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. Everything is made fresh, and you can tell there?s a lot of care put into every bite. The owner is incredibly sweet and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the m

Holy moly! This fritter was on point! So many apple bits and perfect sweetness. Maybe this summer we?ll be treated with a peach fritter???? Here?s hoping!!! ??????

Happy opening day!! Delicious donuts ?? Will definitely be back during ski season! So excited that they are open at 4:30 so we can grab breakfast and coffee on the way to the slopes ??

Best doughnuts I?ve ever had. Now it?s hard to pass through empire without stopping. Most places the frosting is way too sugary it takes away but it?s a balanced doughnut and they are so fluffy. A++

My kids said the donuts were way better than Dunkin - the dough was softer and they had more toppings with lots of flavors options. A great little stop going to/from the mountains!

Such a great addition to the I70 corridor! We've been waiting for a donut shop to come to the area, and we were disappointed. The raised donuts were light and fluffy with just the right sweetness in the icing.

These are some seriously dope donuts!!! We were passing through after skiing and decided to stop in and I am so glad we did. The variety of donuts offered is excellent, we got 4 different types and every one of them was delicious!! Can?t wait to make this a regular addition to our ski days!

To say I am impressed is an understatement. Wonderful donuts, long John?s, and even sausage rolls (Kolaches). Delicious food and even more impressive to bake this well at 8,577 feet in Empire! We?ll be stopping here every time we make our weekend trips from Denver to Winter Park!

I think I just had the perfect donut. Fresh (even in the afternoon), flavorful, great selection. The coffee was great too. I see they also have breakfast items.

Decided to stop by on my way back from Jones Pass. The first thing that struck me was the smell in the shop. It smelled right. I knew the donuts were going to be great by the smell and the color of the Raised Glazed donuts. I bought 4 donuts - glazed, chocolate frosted, strawberry filled, and blueberry cake. The yeasted donut base is light and airy and taste like they rest the dough overnight. The cake donut was a little under-fried for my liking but I am totally nitpicking. Everything was delicious and not

We got a half dozen donuts this morning and WOW! The cake donuts are slightly crispy on the exterior and light, moist, and perfectly sweet on the inside. The yeast options are pillowy and soft and melt in your mouth. The best donuts we have tried in Colorado.

I had the best apple fritter of my life today from this awesome little shop! Everyone thought all the donuts were delicious! Thank you!

KOLACHES!!!! IYKYK - if not, kolaches are a savory grab and go breakfast perfect for apres ski right off I-70 or a protein carbo load before your hike & bike. And this donut houses? kolaches are top tier?delicious sausage and cheese +\- jalape?o. Also tried a smattering of donuts and all I can say is get there early when they?re fresh and before they?re gone and they can?t be beat. BEST GRAB-AND-GO BREAKFAST ON THE I70 CORRIDOR!

This has become almost a weekly stop for us coming home from skiing! The owners are incredibly kind and the apple fritters are outstanding. Highly recommend!

Small little hole in the whole donut shop with great food and donuts! Owners/staff are incredibly friendly. Love stopping here before snowboarding.

If you?re reading this, stop off, get a donut and support this small town establishment. I had the Strawberry frosted and it was excellent. The donut was super fresh and the frosting full of flavor.

Grabbed some donuts on the way home from Winter Park and they were amazing! Apple fritter and blueberry blew our minds! Can't recommend this shop highly enough.

SO GOOD! The owners are so sweet and welcoming. The donuts are really good, light and fluffy. So excited to see a small business hopefully do well during this upcoming ski season!

We stopped by here yesterday on their opening day. Grabbed a mix of things, including donuts, fritters, and a couple bagels. Everything was absolutely delicious! The donuts and fritter were amazing! I was a little skeptical of the bagels since it?s hard to find decent bagels in Colorado, but they were really quite good. We will definitely be stopping here often!

Stopped in this morning on my way down to Denver. Great selection of donuts all of them were great looking and great tasting. This is as good of a doughnut as you get anywhere! Very reasonably priced as well.

our last day of vacation, i ordered 2 bagel egg and cheese with cream cheese: it was the best i ever tasted, and im from dallas. and the amount of cream cheese was RESPECTABLE! may this business find success

OMG? the BEST donuts we?ve had in years. The donut holes are perfectly cooked and coated with glaze. The Apple Fritter is the best I have ever had? generously filled with apple! All so more.ish? I want more and more and more! ????

The best tasting donuts I?ve had in a long time. Definitely worth the price. Will be stopping again!

My wife and daughter brought me an Oreo donut, an apple fritter and an everything bagel. All were very well baked. As the son of 2 generations of New Yorkers, I?m a picky bagel eater. Nothing in Colorado is ?perfect,? but these definitely came closer than most in terms of texture and taste. I will be back.

Sausage, egg and cheese kolache was AMAZING! Cronut also 10/10. This place is special ??

Saw there was a donut shop opening up there, told my husband we need to try it out. He stopped by yesterday and I'm so glad he did! Fantastic donuts and he also got some sausage rolls, both were great. We'll be back!

Very fresh and deliciously large selection of doughnuts and other assorted bakery items!

Driving back to Denver after a weekend of skiing in winter park and couldn?t resist a donut! Best donuts ??
