Customer Reviews

Whatever you do get the jalape?o kolaches when you come here, they are harder than a rock I could throw this thing into a wall and it would get stuck in the wall. I didn?t realize I would be spending 30 dollars for old Tyme dog food was a thing. The building looks run down like underneath a 14 year old boys bed. In conclusion don?t spend money here.

This used to be our go-to donut shop when we moved down here . We all are going through rough times and drastic changes, understanding prices are going to go up, and when being charged extra for filling.. We we're expecting filling. Whether it's new management, or new policy, we were sorely disappointed. It has become increasingly more difficult justifying any future visits to the shop.

Update: Owner Commented, but still fails to update hours on google. It clearly shows 6am as opening. Original: Worst customer service ever. I?m here at 6am. 3 employees inside. 1 tray ready to sell, but door is locked. When asked if they are open I get a shrug and a annoyed/angry look. I hope the owner wasn?t working tonight because this is ridiculous. Why have posted hours stating open at 5:30 if at 6 barely anything is ready and to treat customers this way.

best donuts I've had in a long time. we got the blueberry fritter and a icing filler maple long john. good customer service. does accept card if you're wondering.

Very impressed with the raised donuts and cake donuts. Crisp crust but didn?t taste oily. Got mine after 10:30, but they still tasted fresh.

Wow!! Got some donuts for my family this morning and this was our first time trying this place. The best! We fell in love with the glazed cinnamon twists. Also had some filled donuts and they're better than we've ever had.

I?m a return/routine customer of Old Tyme Donuts! I usually get a mixed batch for my office. There was some kind of raspberry or strawberry glazed donut today that was HORRIBLE! Tasted like medicine. However, there was a pumpkin cake donut that was divine! I wish it had like cream cheese frosting but the simple glaze was lovely too! The former donut went in the trash. The pumpkin one was gobbled up! Their yeast donuts are super fluffy and perfect! The glaze isn?t overly sweet, it?s just right! I do wish the

Kolachi crust was dry and relatively tasteless. Donuts were burnt as well as dense, with filling in donuts more like an icing than a cream. Blueberry fritter was okay. They need to take some pointers from Smith Donuts about the rest. Won't be eating at Olde Tyme Donuts again.

Donuts were tasty. Chocolate covering on them was just right. Not to soft to run off and not to dry to crumble with every bite. Kolache was not quite the style I enjoy. Bread was crispier than what i like but the meat inside had good flavor. Enjoyed the family atmosphere of the staff and the offered a good variety of donuts.

Definitely not bad, but also not exceptional donuts or kolaches. To me, it was an average good donut shop but nothing to stand out compared to other typically not bad donut shops. Prices were average-to-high. They also charge extra if you want to pay with a card. Also, they're drive thru only currently which makes them a bit of a slow wait for donuts that aren't anything special.

I grew up eating these donuts so I may be biased but these are definitely the best donuts in Northwest Arkansas.

The best kolaches you will ever eat. They are different than the kolaches you get at every single other place like. And I love both style but these are the best without a doubt. The bread is amazin

Trip to Springdale this week and grabbed some breakfast from a place with 5 stars, disappointed with the kolaches. I could be wrong about AR version of these delicious roasted hot dogs in a bake bun? but these were awful due to the hard and dry breading, they tasted like ?old tyme? for sure.

Doughnuts here are delicious, soft and fresh, you can even find my favorite sugar and cinnamon, they also have breakfast, I tried the egg, ham, cheese and bacon bagel, the bagels are a little different but in a good way, they are big and softer to eat in top of that, they use Real Eggs !!! That is amazing! The Only reason I do not give them a 5? is because of their service, Man I hate when service people have a B**ch face, Like if they are being forced to be there, but if you can overcome that, like I h

Fluffy, chewy, fresh pillows of sugary happiness are sold here! I haven't had a donut like this in so long...I honestly cant remember a more satisfying one. You can get your donut fix at the drive through or in the small, tidy interior. I reccomend the blueberry fritter if they have them in stock!

Went this morning to get some sausage rolls for breakfast this morning. Super friendly staff. I called a head to see if they had any and the lady offered to get them ready for me before I got there. I was lucky enough to get a batch fresh from the oven.

Awesome will be back soon now. We caught them open finally to get her hours.! Lived in fay though now is perfect and they know how to make a Donut!!! awesome.!!!

These are seriously the best donuts I've had in Arkansas. I'm typically a Krispy Kreme Original kind of girl, but these are my FAVORITE! I love the maple and vanilla donuts the most. Drive thru is a bit slow, but worth it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Old Tyme Donuts are open just a little longer than Daylight Donuts in the middle of town. I actually went to Daylight first because it was more convenient. However, they were closed and only offered me what they had left...which was basically nothing. I did the quick 5 minutes trip over to Old Tyme and they greeted me with a smile. They even made some of the donuts per my request that they had run out of. Next time, I'll just go straight to Old Tyme. :)

These are the best donuts I?ve ever had. I get them several times a month, always consistent and delicious. The vanilla glazed and blueberry cake are my favorite.

The BEST donuts in NWA

Not a place I would recommend to go to. The lady at the window told me one price which wasn't the right total for my order. When I asked her what the real total was she wouldn't tell me. She wouldn't give me a reciept and said total was different because theybadd .35 to every debit or credit card transaction. I said you are supposed to tell customer about the charge before you run their cards. She didn't even care. This is not a good way to do business. I always try to go to mom and pop businesses but issu

I love it because it's has the best flavor and I know how hard they work to make them for us.They always try to do the best and I really don't have the words to say how great it's .They are make with love and the same day,never have a donut from be for

Simply put, Olde Tyme has THE BEST DONUTS you will find in Northwest Arkansas. They serve yeast and cake donuts, as well as kolaches and breakfast sandwiches. Don't even bother with a chain donut shop. Just come by Olde Tyme for fast, friendly service.

They have the best apple fritter I have ever had. Plus you have to try the biscuits and sausage gravy with the jalapeno kolache.

Their bisquits and gravy is the best! So cheap!! And they are super nice!! And the have the best hours. Who doesn't love waking up at late and still being able to go get some dounuts.

These are the best donuts I've ever had, so fresh and delicious. The staff is really friendly as well!

They told me a total at the drive-thru window, and when I checked my bank account, I saw they charged me extra for paying with a card. They need to be upfront about this. Hope the extra change was worth it, because I won't be back again.

Large fritters. Blueberry is wonderful.

They have the very best donuts ever! They are so soft and delicious and their biscuits and gravy are awesome too.

THE BEST Donuts of anyone. In my opinion, better than DD and KK and any of the others around. That's not to say I wouldn't eat the others, but if I could choose only one, this would be it.

Greatest donuts I have ever had.

Hands down, best donuts around,best coffee that is ground, they make it hard to frown, I'd get up at 6, go there in my night gown,eat them donuts by the pound. Just the best

Very tasty cake donuts. Biscuit and gravy reminded me of being a kid. Kolaches were light on the breading which made them very nice.

Love these doughnuts. They make fresh donuts thru most of the morning. Nothing compares!

Love this place so much. Don't get up early to be able to enjoy it too often, but I love it when I go.
