Customer Reviews

Fresh donuts and hot coffee, really big space to relax and lots of parking on a busy street. Standard family run donut shop, the matriarch doesn?t need to say anything and you know who?s the boss. If you?re getting your tire changed or repaired, nice place to have a snack.

Absolutely amazing donuts. Great size and consistency, a perfect balance between light and doughy. The classic glazed donut was top tier, and the Boston creme was delicious. They have a large selection and the interior was nice and clean, staff very friendly as well. They have a $0.50 surcharge for credit cards on orders less than $10.

What can I add, the name says it all and it is Goooooooood! Super friendly staff, and great variety of sweets and sandwiches. Definitely give them a try at this location.

Came into Mr. Goods for a few donuts as I needed something to get my day going!!!! What an amazing little shop it is. Locally owned Fresh donuts made daily as well as coffee! Today I ordered: 1 Cake Sugar Donut 1 Cinnamon Roll 1 Water The cake donut was exceptional as the dough was not too dry it was perfect. The correct amount of sweetness to dough ratio! The Cinnamon Roll was different as I have never had one made from donut dough! It was a hit, not too sweet and super soft. In total I spent no mor

I?ve been going here since I was little and had to buy a ton of donuts for my class birthday party :) staff is always so nice and kind and the donuts are delicious. I recently tried the ham and cheese croissant sandwich and I love it!

The nice girl told me about a new donut she had made when I walked in. The donut was delicious and very warm. 1st time visiting and I'll be going back again. The service is A1 and that definitely caught my eye

Had the most incredible apple fritter here. One of the best I've ever had. It had a nice glaze over it. The outside was crisp and brown. Every bite was filled with apple filling and the dough was soft and moist. I also had a twist and it was equally as delicious. They have amazing donuts and reasonably priced.

Try any of their doughnuts or food. They look amazing, taste perfect. Soft and fresh not hard old and stale. Every time!:) One of the best around here.

I randomly decided to check out this donut place today and I?m so glad I did! The prices and quality are unbeatable! I super loved their raspberry jelly and Boston Cream, so fluffy and not overly sweet like most places around. The nice older gentleman (owner?) was really friendly and fast, no complaints in the customer service department. Really looking forward to coming back, 10/10 would recommend!

I asked for an apple fritter. I received a discus from the 1904 Olympics. After my card was ran I was handed the discus, and asked if there was a softer one. No they come that way. Microwave? Well how about not buying or selling discus texture apple fritters? Microwave made a hard discus by the way. Go elsewhere for fresh baked good. This store doesn?t sell fresh

Amazing donuts, and at $1 for pretty much everything, the price is shockingly low. The croissants and cinnamon rolls are HUGE and cost just 1.75! Just make sure to bring cash.

Ahhh, the nostalgia. Times have changed, but their doughnuts remain the same. Price is very affordable. Still delicious. Come and visit this doughnut place. Its been more than 20 years to come back and taste their sugary doughs ????

This has been my go-to Donut shop for decades. Their selection is classic and delicious. One of my absolute favorite treats on the planet is their apple fritter - but they also have fabulous yeast donuts, buttermilk bars, old fashioned donuts, croissants (plain, ham & cheese), etc... and gotta LOVE their donut holes too. The couple that owns the shop is super friendly and clearly believe in customer service and taking care of their customers. Highly recommended!

Great spot with plenty of parking good variety. Service was friendly and quick.

The Bagels are so good, and everything tasted great. The owner is such a sweet person and does a fantastic job with her Croissants and Donuts as well. Such a gem we found just by driving by?

The apple fritter are amazing. Every thing is made fresh

Meh. Wouldn?t go back. Got a jelly filled and a cream filled and both were sub par.

Hands down best coffee for $1.75. Donuts are so pretty and perfect that other vendors buy I bulk like hipster ice cream trucks and colleges in Pasadena. The couple who work and own this place are sweet and work almost year round with only 3 to 5 days off a year! Support local shops!

My idol Tiffany Ter lives in this Donut Shop. She makes the best donuts and gives huge discounts if you give her a banana. Not even joking. Just walk inside the donut shop and you'll see a dozen bananas near the bottom of the container. She really loves her bananas. Not only that, she's a very kind person! I once offered to let her keep the change but she said "No it's okay!". Even though I asked her how the Donuts were, and she said "good.", I already knew that they were going to be delicious before askin

Same perfect donuts today that they served in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid. Absolutely love Mr. Good's Donuts ??

Pretty good doughnuts and coffee ??

Was at Auto parts store in same shopping center, guy helping with car recommended when I asked about Mr. Good's. 3 fine donuts and a large coffee under $5. Very friendly service. I'll definitely stop in again next time in Pasadena.

Best looking and tasting donuts ever... Genuinely good and definitely better than Dunkin, Krispy, or any other big box chain. Their apple fritter is literally to die for and is something that I have come to dream about and it is what I get to perk me up. Sweetened and spiced apple chunks, crispy and moist, enrobed in a light glaze... This is a master class in doughnut-making. Would give them "Infinite" stars if possible.

If you live in this neighborhood, like I do, then you are extremely lucky to have this local donut shop on your block! This is the spot where I tried my first cronut (and cronut holes! Yup, I didn't even know this was a thing!). I have tried other cronuts before, but there's nothing like Mr Goods Donuts Shop! I discovered my favorite donut OF ALL TIME at this shop... the Nutella Walnut Donut. Even though they run out, they can make you one fresh. Crisp, crunchy, and cream all at the same time.Mr Goods Donut

Owner was very sweet and welcomed us with a donut hole after finding out we were visiting from out of town. Affordable prices and the donuts taste great. Highly recommend.

Prefer Mr goods donut shop over dunkin. Their donuts taste fresh all the time and enough glaze to satisfy the sweet tooth. Hopefully you get a chance to try these awesome donuts.

Mr. Goods Donuts Shop is great. Donuts taste so good and affordable. I love the lemon filled donut. totally recommend them

These donuts are the best ones I've ever had. I really do recommend it for people who are new and looking for a good donut shop.

Bought 2 dozen donuts to share at work...delicious and fresh. You can't eat only one! Definitely will go back.

Donuts are not in my radar...but it just so happened to be in a parking lot with (the best) a laundromat. OMG what delicious donuts!!! It was a special moment all around ???

Best glazed donuts in pasadena. Owner is really nice. Please gatekeep this donut shop guys

Nice basic donut shop. Glazed rings are only $1 each. Owners are friendly and helpful.

The assortment of donuts that I picked up on Saturday morning was amazing! The box was ravaged in less than 20 minutes! THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO SURVIVORS.....!

donuts are so fluffy and not greasy! I love coming here for sugar and glaze donuts.

The old fashioned donut and apple fritter were amazing! The owners were so nice too!

The sweetest lady serves the tastiest donuts. Mmmmm mmmmm good drop by and enjoy stuffing your face

Donut holes were $2... FOR A DOZEN!! Where do you see those prices these days?

Great place for donuts but lacks selection of donuts, i mean honestly why else would u go to a donuts shop.

Asked for dozen and got a dozen. Charged for 12 x regular price donuts... when asked about the special price for the dozen on the menu they decided not to understand English. Ohhh well, there is a first and last for everything.

Great donuts, low prices, and friendly owner. Not a gourmet donut shop, but good quality donuts nonetheless.

The best apple fritters and long johns I?ve had in a long, long time. Worth the visit just for these if nothing else.

Great donuts at a great price, love this place! :)

Donuts are always fresh and fluffy. Owners are super nice.
