Customer Reviews

We love this little donut shop. They have the best donuts around. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. There is always a good variety of fresh baked donuts available. In the afternoon, before closing, you can get them cheap. They are closed on Mondays.

What a treat to find a place that offers what it advertises. The green haired lady working when we stopped in offered us a detailed description of how these donuts are freshly made by hand every morning. Loved that they are indeed square! Tasty and light and also a bargain, we will be stopping by again when we pass through Bloomington.

Square Donuts are tasty. This is a local distribution takeout only store with great service but no cooking and no seating. Pick up and take.

I love how fluffy their donuts are. I am more of a airy donut than a cake kind of a donut, person myself and this fits the bill quite right. Staff is always friendly as well!! In my case on the west side of town.

Yum! Would definitely recommend square donuts! They have a lot of different flavors and everything we tried was very good. They have fun flavors like s?mores! Donut holes were also great! They also have very friendly and quick service.

Great service and donuts! Me and my brother went in to get donuts for my Mom, and we're about a dollar short. The worker (an older black woman) paid for it and was super kind. Will definitely come back.

As soon as I walked in I was greeted. When ai was choosing donuts, the woman at the counter was very patient and let me take my time, I ended up trying 6 different donuts and both my significant other and I enjoyed them all. Not being donut people, we were very surprised by this. The peanut butter and jelly one was Amazing, despite skepticism. Thank you for the wonderful experience. I will be going back.

Even though the storefront isn't very big, they take great pains to keep everyone safe during the pandemic. We have found the people who work here to be extremely helpful, patient and friendly. It's not always easy for employees to wait for children to decide on their donut flavor, especially when there are other customers waiting to order. They are very helpful, and make suggestions to help move the process along. There are a lot of choices when you are looking for a donut shop. Square Donuts does not disa

Love the donuts! Bought several kinds to take to my mom and Aunt in Indy! They loved them ??

We got there later in the day and only 7 types of donuts left. We tried several different donuts that were left over and actually loved them all. They all were so fresh like they were just made. The lady working the counter was helpful and friendly. She really stood out how sweet she was.

Great service every time I go there. The donuts are fantastic!

I honestly can't believe that this place has such stellar reviews. We purchased pretty much one of every type available this morning. They all have a very distinct off-putting flavor. The donuts are seriously some of the nastiest that my family has ever had. We each grabbed a donut this morning and not one of us actually finished one. So, we of course tried the other varieties and the cake with sprinkles type got a gag out of my daughter. I tried it and spit it out... Burnt horrid flavor. How in the world

Just got a dozen donuts. They are good like the old days. They had a good coupon in Mail-Pak flyer-buy 6 & get 6 which made a good deal. Was working early voting & a voter brought donuts to us-made a good morning.

I went there during Happy Hour not knowing it was Happy Hour and walked out of there with 1 giant box and a half for $7 of couse I tip $5 and I honestly thought was going ro spend almost $20. Great surprise. But they taste just super good and dont forget they are not open on monday. But hey you better go get them as soon as you can. They were all delicious!

Square donuts are a thing ! Get ?em!!

I really like it here, the doughnuts are almost better the second day. My biggest beef with them is that they don't usually carry my favorite doughnut and they don't have as big of a variety as the other doughnut place. But you still can't go wrong with any of their options.

Love me some Square Donuts. I am not a donut person, but I would eat these every single day. Service is always friendly at this location.

Highly recommend this place! The donuts were delicious! The lady who works for this place is very sweet and kind. Definitely will go back

The attention to detail is amazing here. The owner provides great service every time I'm in. This is exactly what I want from a donut shop!!! Smells like heaven in there. ;)

Staff was great. Donut tasted really bad. I ordered 2 plain cake donuts, and the taste was almost rancid. Tasted like they haven?t changed the oil in months. Very disappointed, had to throw them away.

Kind of a novelty thing, but the donuts were good.

The lady who served us this morning was SO nice and polite. We gave her tips because she deserved it. Definitely will go back.

They are always so nice on the Eastside when we call ahead to have our order ready !

Super sweet staff and the donuts are always the best in town! Best place to go by far

I have been going here since it opened. My favorite donuts!

This place has the best Donuts & the Staff is Amazing !!! I would definitely recommend ??

The lady at the west side location is so sweet. She's the reason I dont go to a competitor with more selection. Product is yummy just wish they brought more to the west side

The lady that was working the register by herself is the Epitome of perfection she was so sweet??....and then my donut was delicious ??

Your hours need to be updated or you need to fire whoever is supposed to be working at the moment

Great donuts my favorite place to buy them from. I just love donuts however I think they don't love me.

Fresh doughnuts, kind staff, reasonable prices, and ice cold orange juice! Open at 6am on Saturdays is a big plus.

Great customer service. Deborah was awesome!

This place was great! We're new in town and they gave us a discount just because! She was super helpful and welcoming. Loved it.
