Customer Reviews

Chill lil donut shop.. not familiar with the area, pretty positive its near campus housing or the edge of campus? Lots of unger individuals.. doughnuts were great.. reasonably priced given the current state of the dollar.

Best breakfast sandwiches! The Donuts are heavenly. Better than grandma?s. Fast friendly and safe service -especially during Covid.

There was a power outage and everywhere was closed except spudnuts, lit by candles. Bring cash, there's an extra charge for credit card charges under ~3 dollars. Donuts are good though.

The last three times I have been there they have given me MILK tea when I've asked for THAI milk tea. THREE times. Do they have it out for me?? Do they not serve thai anymore?? I don't understand.

Friendly service and good donuts. They also have boba which is awesome. I had a regular glazed donut for lunch and it was pretty good.

Best place to get donuts and coffee before or after class. I go here almost every weekday and I'm always satisfied.

They have the best donuts out of all the Spudut store!! John the owner is always around making sure things are perfect, and Oscar the baker is the best!!

the vietnamese iced coffee from here is amazing, super quick service too

Great food and fair price. I don't like their coffee policy-- no free refills. Other than that, all good!

Google Maps said they were open, but when I tried going in, the sign said that they were closed for a month

cashier bro gave hella attitude and was treating me like i was stupid because i asked a question about the drinks ??

Great selection of doughnuts. They also have a very tasty breakfast menu.

Always there for me when I need them. Better than krispy kreme. And there's boba. What more could a could a college kid need

Just a chain donut place, but this location is clean and efficient (which is especially impressive in IV)

They have great donuts and baked goods. The Apple fritter and chocolate specialty are to die for.
