Customer Reviews

Excellent! Light and fluffy! The apple fritter is smaller than others, but still really good. The buttercream eclair was good, the butte was sweet. Will get more from here again!

Great donuts and great owner! Excited to finally see a donut place in Golden. Owner took time to greet everyone that came in and was very friendly. There was great selection of donuts without feeling overwhelmed. The shop is clean but most importantly donuts are good. I ordered several dozen for work and everyone enjoyed them.

Classic donuts with no frills. I enjoyed all 3 varieties tried, including an old fashioned, a custard filled, and apple fritter.

For a birthday breakfast treat for my wife, nothing beats flowers and great snacks from Peak. More eclairs and of course a bag of their amazing pigs in a blanket or, whatever you want to call them. Delicious perfectly baked roll with a hearty beefy dog and hot peppery cheese on on the inside. I ate way too many but no regrets, sooo delicious.

Amazing place with such attention to detail too! Ask for Peter as he is sure to take great care of you! The donuts are awesome and they care about the customers and the community! Can?t say anough about this gem in Golden!

popped in for a pre-summer camp donut and were pleasantly surprised with how delicious the donuts were and how kind the staff was! I can't wait to come back.

The owner is always so friendly to my kids and I feel like we always end up with a few extra donut holes:) great variety but get there early on weekends for the most choices. My kids love all of them, and we have purchased in bulk with ordering ahead of time for my work events a few times.

Great addition to the area, a real friendly owner and they make great donuts and my favorite, their jalapeno/cheese 'pig in a blanket', sooo good. The dough shell is just right and it's really a quality sausage inside. They have traditional creme filled and whipped butter (white) eclairs and all the other sinful donut treats as well. They're open early and with the school nearby should do great business, easy parking too.

Not much to choose from but definitely tasty donuts ..owners are funny and sweet .First time in and my coworkers demolished them! It was rounded up to $30 for a dozen assorted Donuts and a dozen donut holes together.

We live out of town but wanted something quick after leaving our hotel with the kids. While deciding what to buy, the cute owners came out with doughnut holes for my littles. Now we stop by everytime we pass through town, which is in about 2 hours.

What a great place! Great donuts, always fresh! Very friendly staff and owner of the place. Looking forward to coming in every time I visit.

Fast friendly service. Donuts were tasty. Bingo Bongo.

Very clean, newly constructed shop. Beautiful, fresh donuts! They also have breakfast sandwiches made with croissants and biscuits- reasonable prices, very friendly manager!

Best donuts I?ve ever had. No joke. Fluffy on the inside w a perfect crisp on the outside. Staff is also awesome. Gotta get there early ? they sell out

Stopped in today with my coworker. Donuts are so fluffy and the apple fritters, old fashioned and blueberry are the most popular. Peter, the owner is so funny and nice. They also have breakfast sandwiches but cine in early before they sell out!

Went over to Peaks Donuts after wanting to try it for forever and we loved it!! We went in around 10am on a Sunday and while options were slim because they had sold quite a bit of donuts already, they still had great options and the donuts were AMAZING!! The guy that helped us out even threw in an extra donut. 10/10 would recommend this spot!!

Best doughnut shop Goldens ever had! The owner is the nicest guy you?ll meet here! The doughnuts are: super fluffy, have a great melt in your mouth flavor and they?re very affordable! If you?re looking for doughnuts that will make the whole family happy you should definitely come in and support his business. You won?t regret it!!

Just had the strangest encounter with the employee. We stopped by to buy a few doughnuts my husband joked with him saying he?d buy every doughnut in the store. Employee said if you don?t buy anything I don?t care. We looked at each other and decided it was best to not do business there and leave. No other customers there. He kept repeating ?I don?t care if you buy anything.? We weren?t arguing. Not sure what frame of mind he was in so didn?t care to gamble on eating anything from him. Strange stange just st

Wonderful place!! I was greeted with a smile and jokes by the owner, which is awesome!! Classic donuts made fresh and with care, plus they're absolutely delicious! Now the pigs in a blanket or klotchies, however you decide to call them are without a doubt one of the best I've ever had!! Thank you for opening your shop in our town and please support this business so they never leave Golden!! Peak Donuts is a winner in my book!!

My new favorite doughnut place in town. Very good. ?? Only suggestion/ask would be another option for the Kolaches (one with Jalape?os/Cheese & one normal) Will come back again. ??

Most terribly treatment because of my disabilities. I have always had great service at this place before but was treated inhumanely because of the word cherry instead of raspberry. This is not how you treat your neighbors with disabilities. I will not be returning or suggesting this place again.

Extremely simplistic donut shot with nothing but the essentials. The name is as advertised as the donuts are very good and that's pretty much all they do. Great option for local donuts.

The donuts here are fantastic. We've been really happy with everything we've tried here. The sausage kolaches are delicious, and the donuts are not overly sweet or heavy. Probably the best apple fritters I've had! I'll chime in with other reviewers who have recommended the blueberry cake donut -- it was amazing!

Great donuts and very personable service! This will be our go-to donut shop from now on.

This blueberry donut is maybe the best donut I?ve ever had! And I?m old, so I?ve had a lot of donuts. Also, the fellow that works there is very pleasant :)

Can?t say enough good things about this shop. We?ve been going since they opened, and have never been disappointed. Fluffy, creamy donuts, and the best butter creme I?ve had. A special treat whenever we get them. Friendly owner and makes my day to stop in

This store has the friendliest owner, and it is very close to downtown golden. Even the smell of the donuts is delicious and you can tell they are fresh made that day. The taste does not disappoint! He also has a large variety of filled doughnut choices which seem to be hard to find in Colorado.

I stopped in here since it was close to my doctor and I wanted a donut. The glazed donut was fresh, soft, and tasty! I will stop in again for more glazed donuts.

Fresh, delicious donuts. We had the blueberry, sour cream, and sprinkle donuts. All amazing. I was greeted with a smile and a hello. Can?t wait to come back!

Easily the best donuts in Golden! We had a bakers dozen between the two of us (not in one sitting), and every donut tasted homemade, fresh, and delicious. The owners were friendly and very helpful in helping us make our selections. We?ll be back frequently :)

The donuts are so good! The owner is incredibly nice. Love the addition of this local, small business to the neighborhood! A mom and pop place that fixes our donut craving every weekend. Okay let?s be honest, and weekdays too. ??

Great donuts and super friendly owner. I?m a big fan of simple donuts done right and this place nails it. The cinnamon swirl glazed donut is amazing and has been so light and fluffy every time I?ve had it. I?m also a fan of the chocolate frosted.

Owner was friendly when we came in, but that us about the best I can say about the shop. There was a very limited selection to choose from (maybe 5-6 choices). The cinnamon roll was decent. However, the rest of the doughnuts tasted old and we ended up tossing them in the trash.

The donuts are so good! We got cream filled long johns with chocolate on top. Best donut I have had in years. The owner is very friendly. They open at 6am. Highly recommend.

I went here today for the first time, the owner was super friendly and walked me through all the different kinds of doughnuts that were available. I bought 5 different kinds for my family to try and man were they delicious! This place is great to have in Golden!

Average donuts for an insane price. $27/dozen of half glazed and half chocolate sprinkles. For that price I was expecting much more.

Been waiting for a classic delicious donut shop in Golden. So happy they opened this shop! The classic donuts are delicious, and the owners are so friendly! I highly recommend giving them a try, you won?t be disappointed. I can?t wait to go back again tomorrow haha.

Picked up 2 dozen fresh this morning for the office and everyone thought they were delicious. Decent cup of coffee and fast and friendly service. I always try and give the independent retailers my business. I would recommend checking this shop out.

So glad to have Peak Donuts in town. It's a great place for yummy donuts, the owners are super nice and they always have a good selection in the morning. Their Apple Fritters are the BEST.

Three days ago Leslie Olsen commented she hates angel creme, yet she gave this fine establishment a 1 star review after admitting she hadn?t been in to try the donuts yet. Don?t be like Leslie Olsen, no one cares you are from a baking family. Angel Creme donuts are the best. Update: Leslie I spoke with the owner, he has never heard of angel creme.

Top notch donuts!! Great people. The sandwiches are solid too. Thanks!!

Very tasty donuts! Good quality. Not too sweet. Fruit fillings were fruity. Apple fritters were perfectly crisp and had really good cinnamon undertones. 10/10.

Peter and his mom are some of the nicest people in the donut business, they are hard workers and are constantly bombarded by the wrath of hungry highschoolers. It is no question however to why that is the case. Him and his mom make a variety of donuts all tasty as well as a selection of croissant breakfast sandwiches and hotdogs baked inside an inclusive bun. His donuts however are riddled with good flavors and without a doubt his apple fritters are lovely. You can?t go wrong, a large cooler sits along the

These are some really good donuts. You get what you pay for. Owner is super friendly and funny. Will definitely cone back when I'm in the area.

Best donuts around and the owner is very cool! Fritters are probably the best I've had and they have great kolaches and breakfast sandwiches, which seems to be very hard to find in colorado.

My new favorite donut place today everything was tastey and awesome the service was nice and sweet

Have been to this shop several times now, and every time has been great. They make delicious donuts. My favorite, so far, are the blueberry donuts. They are fabulous. I highly recommend this shop.

Lovely bakery with a lovely baker. Best donuts I've ever had!

Loved this place, am not in the area that often but I will stop here again. I was there towards closing time so a lot of things were sold out but I got a cinnamon glazed donut and it was fantastic. This place was hopping to, there were always people coming in

Overall great experience! Great people and great donuts! They even gave us a few free donut holes for my dog. 10/10 would recommend.

The donuts are amazing!!!! They taste great! Very well priced. And the owner is so nice. I totally recommend it for anyone in the Denver Metro!

Terrible, bought my daughter a donut and left. It was old and dry so I called to let him know. He hung up on me. Upon arriving at the store he told me he didn?t want my business. I told him I had called just to let him know to throw out his old donuts, not for a refund. He yelled and slammed his hand on the counter.

Been looking for good kolaches (pigs in a blanket) ever since moving here and happy to have found Peak Donuts. Super friendly and great taste

Stopped in this morning to bring in some assorted donuts for the office teammates. The staff was super friendly and the donuts were absolutely delicious. ?? The donuts did not last long.

This is a great donut shop that I like to go to during lunch or before school. They have a wide variety of different donuts and drinks and it?s always a pleasure to talk with the people who work there.

Great local donut shop. All classics. The beverage selection was pretty good too - they have Yoohoo! The service was great too. Will definitely be back.

This places is a twelve out of twelve. The guy is super nice and always gives my kid free donuts. We go once a week to see him.

Delicious, no-frills, unpretentious donut shop. Owners are very nice. We especially love the blueberry flavor. Highly recommend!

Sorry to say after hearing all the good things about this donut shop we bought a dozen for over $20.00 and were quite disappointed. They were very heavy, oil soaked and seemed to be day old, they looked pretty so we assumed they were good took them home and ...??

Absurdly good donuts. Affordable too. Try the blueberry

Had a good doughnut, very little to choose from, but it is 11:30 in the morning so they?re pretty well out. Very friendly people, quick in and out.

Classic delicious donuts ?? the buttercream filled and twists are the best!! The owners even gave our 7month old a donut hole to try for her first donut experience, so sweet!

Yummy donuts, clean shop, & friendly staff! It?s difficult to find a good donut shop in small towns around here like Morrison and Golden so I?m glad I tried this place out :)

Great donuts! The Apple fritters have tons of flavor and are super airy. The classic cake and glazed were amazing too

They are very friendly. Outstanding donuts. This is my favorite donut bakery. Highly recommend if want tasty donuts.

Extremely friendly service, a beautifully clean shop, and the nicest and friendliest service. The donuts were also incredibly tasty.

Awesome classic donuts, some others I?ve seen on different days. Favorite so far was the lemon curd! Would recommend ????

Great donuts! Owner is so kind! Always a great experience

A great hidden gem in Golden!! The donuts are always fresh and made with love! So many different options to choose from! I?ll continue to come back here!

Delightful experience, fantastic quality. Exactly the donut shop Golden needed. Recommend: apple fritter, blueberry cake, maple old fashioned, boston cream

Best donuts I?ve had in my life. This guy is so genuinely sweet and friendly too.

Hands down the absolute best doughnuts ever! Very fresh and the staff are amazing!

Sounds like they use angel creme instead of custard in their donuts make me suspicious. I come from a bakery family and donut shop owners and we always used custard I have not been able try them yet since I have not physically been able to get out.

The storefront is basic but the donuts are crisp and moist and delicious. Eleven stars.

Kind, hard-working owners! The donuts are really good. I decided to give the pigs in a blanket a try based on other reviews. Really good.

Fluffy, fresh donuts. I wish there were a few more types available but we came at the end of the breakfast rush so that is understandable.

Great new locally owned donut shop. Donuts look as good as they taste. Try the pigs in a blanket- the Jalape?o Caliche's are great!

Tried this morning for the first time and loved the donuts. Classic and delicious. Great to have a local donut shop.

We are lucky to live close by, and love popping in for a couple of doughnuts for our after lunch coffee! Sometimes he sells out before 1pm, so coming earlier is better.

We came because of the reviews. Definitely delicious and not too sweet! A must stop when in or passing through Golden. Impeccably clean and friendly service!

Every type of donut we tried (and we tried almost all of them) was absolutely delicious! Go get some donuts and enjoy a wonderful start to your day!

Their donuts are so good and the owners are so kind! It?s nice to visit somewhere where they really care about their work :)

Our new favorite donut spot. Everything is delicious. We especially love the blueberry donuts!

Awesome donuts?soft and fresh! Def will stop here again. Owner was super nice and friendly!!!

Owner was very friendly and chatted with us while we decided. The pigs n blankets were AMAZING. Great place!

Fluffy dough, not too sweet, a little crunchy. Basically the perfect donut with friendly service to boot.

Very friendly staff, great donuts.

Great tasting donuts soft and crispy the way I like it.
