Nevin's Donut Shop

Reviews Summary

Nevins Donut Shop receives mostly positive reviews (many 5-star ratings) for its delicious, fresh donuts (especially blueberry and strawberry varieties), ham and cheese croissants, and friendly service. Customers consistently praise the quality and authenticity of the donuts, often comparing them favorably to chain shops. However, several recurring complaints include inconsistent hours (often closing earlier than posted), frequent sell-outs due to popularity (requiring early visits), and occasional issues with stale items or malfunctioning equipment. The small parking lot and limited seating are noted but not major concerns. While most reviewers highly recommend the shop for its exceptional donuts and warm staff, reliability issues (hours, availability) frustrate some customers.

Customer Reviews

Local donut shop with reasonable prices. They offered to make a fresh pot of coffee for me. Had a unglazed blueberry donut which was real good. Perfectly cooked and not too sweet. Gotta come early for the fresh stuff cause they sell out.

It's like nothing works in this place I asked for a drink and a machine was broken I asked for another drink the ice machine was broken. The fridge had a very small variety. I grabbed a milk. Once I get to drinking it I notice the milk is bad. Today is August 12 the milk went bad August 5

The staff is so nice! I?ve been going there all my life. The food sells out fast because it?s soooo good! Try early in the morning if you want some good donuts! Always fresh never from yesterday?s donuts batch! Did I talk about the staff? I can?t stop raving about how nice they are! Every time I go there it just li

Great donuts! This would be our go-to donut shop if they had longer hours, we suggest you get in early while the getting is good. They offer sandwiches, too but are always closed when it's sandwiches time. Small parking lot isn't too busy early in the morning, plenty of spots.

One of the best donut shops in town. The two ladies that work there are phenomenal! Their service and donuts are great. I would totally recommend this place to anyone with a sweet tooth for dessert. They also serve ham and cheese croissants. Best croissants I've had so far. I would definitely recommend coming here as early as possible because their donuts run out quickly, it's that good! Their donuts have that authentic taste unlike Krispy Kreme and the other mainstream donut shops.

Love their ham and cheese croissants,and chocolate bar donuts. Best donuts ever.and croissants as well. Very friendly and reasonable prices.love the staff. Very friendly. They treat their regulars like family.

We have tried going to Nevins several times and they are always closed, even though the posted hours say they should be open. Don't waste your time...this morning they didn't even have donuts ready 30 minutes after posted opening time...I thought this was a donut shop, but it turns out it's just an inconvenience shop for the owners and the customers.

This is going to be biased but my parents owned this doughnut shop before the current owners so.......This is the coolest place that sports my last name. I'm so glad to find it still in business after all these years! Hope it continues to thrive!!!

They have the best coffee and I love there strawberry donuts with sprinkles a definite 5/5

BEST donuts around! Don?t go in late or risk limited variety.

I don't go anywhere else!

Should have been there earlier I guess. Bought a couple of donuts, threw them in the trash. Please don't offer people stale donuts.

Great donuts and croissants. Plus they take debit. Huge bonus.

My favorite donuts in Los Al. Don't sleep on Nevins. God bless

Food burned and incorrect. I could not eat it.

Got Off The freeway to come here at 10pm on a Thursday because they said it was open 24 hours and they were closed!!
