Customer Reviews

Fresh donuts every morning! There?s nothing like a good warm donut - you do have to go early to get them warm (around or before 6am) but they?re still good later in the day. My new go to spot, small family run shop. Cash preferred, will take card. My new go to spot.

Pink Donuts is my new go to. Donuts have been fresh and delicious every time I go. I am hooked on the Buttermilk bars. If you go make sure you leave 1 for me!

The coffee here is amazing! It?s made right there in front of you. I recommend the ice white chocolate mocha. I?m a fan of the original doughnuts, I tried a few shops in the bullhead area and they were not too great at all but these doughnuts never miss and the display is so cute! And the shop is really clean for being in a casino. Roxanne was a regular employee while I was staying at the casino for a week and she never failed with the coffees??

Old and chewy. Chocolate twist had good flavor but you could tell it was stale. Pink cake frosting interesting strong flavor, stale. Buttermilk flavor not bad, stale. The bavarian donuts were solidly filled(chocolate round and maple bar) but they may have been the only fresh donuts we got. I'd give it 2.5 if I could for the bavarians but I can't and I dont like stale donuts.

Owner was extremely rude and did not let my service animal inside. She had no idea what a service animal is stating that an on duty pet was for ? blind people?. My family ended up not buying donuts here because when we asked her about the prices of donuts her demeanor was unpleasant. Terrible costumer service skills. We?ve lived in Santee for almost a year and this is the 1st bad experience we have encountered in any of the stores. First and last time we will come here as my family felt unwelcome.

I've been searching far and wide for the best crunchy donut. I found it here with their buttermilk, unglazed donut. And the price is perfect. 10/10

The donuts here are always fresh and delicious. My kids love the M&M and Oreo Fancy Donuts! The maple bars are amazing, always soft and fluffy with plenty of icing!

Nothing really to miss out on except for DELICIOUS doughnuts. My friends and I were drooling with the pure ECSTASY when the EXPLOSION of flavour and soft, fluffy exquisite dough hit. My friend Cami opted not to take one and oh boy I can assure you that was undoubtedly the worst decision he has ever taken in his life. Complete moron. Anyways, nothing but brilliance.

Super nice and happy lady selling delicious donuts. Apple fritter was so good ??

I love their donuts and kind service. The apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and old fashioned are always great.

Seem like nice folks but their donuts I wouldn't give him more than three stars Not a very good presentation kind of inadequate Mary's Donuts you can tell the love is put in it.

The owners are always so nice and happy. The doughnuts are pretty tasty, too.

He didn't have 3/4 donuts, (delivery from Postmates) but he hooked it up with a free donut thanks!

This is a small family business. The donuts are delicious and the coffee is great.
