Customer Reviews

Best donuts in Arlington!! I've tried them all and these are the softest best tasting ones! The pigs in a blanket are the best as well! I always get the jalape?o and cheese ??

Mom & Pop donut shop that has been around for years. In my opinion they have THE BEST fresh donuts in Arlington hands down!! Always so nice and they alaways give you a little something extra??

Great little donut shop. Everything is freshly made & tasty. Prompt, fast service if you're in a hurry.

I?ve been going there for YEARS. The owners/operators are the nicest couple. They are always pleasant and smiling. The donuts are delicious. They aren?t as sweet as some of the bigger chains which I enjoy. Their kolaches are really good. I?ve honestly never had a bad experience and will be very saddened when I move and can no longer be their patron.

Just started shopping at Cho-Saigon! They have enormous Variety of Asian Foods. Was very impressed. Great Meat and Fish counters As well.

Their donuts are so delicious! They?re freshly baked every morning and perfectly sweetened. The glazed and jalape?o sausage rolls are my absolute favorite. And the service is so friendly. I love this place!

I?ve been coming here since I was a kid and adore this place. The couple that runs it is so kind! I even lost money the other day and the man came out and helped me look for it he was so sweet! And if you go towards closing you get some free donuts ;) which is great! Plus it lets you know that they are fresh everyday!

Besides the Shipleys in Pantego, this is the BEST donut place in Arlington. Lived in Arlington my entire life and never knew about this place until last year. The owners are super nice and I can?t even begin to describe how outstandingly delicious the donuts are.

Great service! The owners must love what they do because they're friendly and have THE best donuts I've ever had. ??

I'm not one to rate Donut Shops, but we decided to stop by after my morning class at school, and I'm glad we did. Not to down any other donut shops nearby (because there were many) but I don't think we would've gotten the same experience from them. Would recommend

Love this husband and wife business. Every Sunday we pick up stuff for our church family and they are always courteous, with a smile and throw in a few extras. Support our small local businesses.

Got a breakfast croissant. She took it out of the fridge and microwaved it for about 20 seconds. I ate it in the car while driving, it was ice cold still and bland. I also got a donut. Comparable to a donut at a hotel breakfast buffet. Lady at the counter was super uninterested if she had customers or not.

i remember going here when i was little with my dad. we live right by so it?s a 5 minute walk max. their shop hasn?t changed in the last 15+ years and i love it. not only that, but their donuts are the best i?ve had from any donut place i?ve ever gone to. definitely better than Krispy Kreme or Dunkin. they also throw in a couple extras, but maybe it?s cause i?m a regular. i refuse to get donuts from anywhere else. also love supporting small businesses

Perfect for this morning! Go get YOUR delicious goodness today. Such nice people, after all these years & still making donuts.

I walked in and immediately she looked bothered. No greeting or anything..she just looked annoyed. She took my dollar and returned my nickle with disgust..... I gave her the donut back...no refund and left....never to return.

Very friendly owners, great customer service and there donuts/food is fresh and deliscious! I stop in every Sunday morning for our special treat breakfast!

Doughnuts are great including the breakfast sandwiches and the lady that's behind the counter is super nice

First off, the food. Its rarely fresh and even if you point and tell them which item you want, like the fresh ones in front, they dont care they'll still pull the oldest one from the back. Secondly, the couple that runs it is rude! I USED to go in all the time and one morning I was getting out to go in and accidentally locked my keys in the car (along with purse and phone). So I went in and asked if i could use the phone to call my husband....they straight lied to me and said they didnt have a phone....yet

Been going here for years The best chocolate covered donuts!!! The best sausage rolls around DFW well worth the drive, can't wait till next time!!!! ?????? Thanksgiving Morning

It's exactly what I expected at a small donut shop. Good price. I only had the sugar twist.

LOVE the donuts here and the friendly staff! Great selection of soft, fluffy, and flavorful donuts. The apple fritters and cake donuts are the best!

Very friendly donut shop. Owner doesn't take a short cut in making the donuts. Very tasty with wide variety of drinks.

The food was good, but the service here is why I keep coming back. I've never had a bad experience at this sweet mom and pop shop.

Best doughnut I have ever had in my life and in 32 you will not regret coming here even if it?s out of your way
