This shop has become one of my favorite Donut spots! I come early for the freshly baked goodies and am always met with a new array of creations along with the childhood classics. So far, my favorites are their signature Mochi donuts--particularly the Lemongrass and Chocolate Pistachio ones. (Very light, very delicate, and I ate 4 in one sitting)--and the Sweet Cream Filled Cronuts. The service here is very welcoming as well. The owner is very kind and his morning baker always greets us enthusiastically.
I visit sweet dozens regularly and I am always impressed. The quality is top notch, everything is super fresh. And they have a great variety of treats without overdoing it. The cake donuts are good. The yeast donuts are good. The croissants are good. The croissant donut hybrid snack is good, and totally novel to me. I had never tried anything like that before I started coming here. They do a croissant-donut with a crunch topping and it's fabulous. It combined so many things I like. Having access to places l
Just randomly discovered this place existed early one morning when my mom and I decided we wanted donuts but from somewhere different. After seeing a few pics of what was most likely going to be on offer we decided this was the place to try. I ended up walking out with over a dozen and a half donuts, they looked tasty and ARE tasty. Thin crispy outside, pillow inside topped with magic. Chocolate Peanut Butter, Fruity Pebbles, Cookies and Cream, Cinnamon Sugar Old Fashioned and that's just a bit of what's th
I came here about 30 min before closing for national donut day to try some of their donuts. They were very patient with me while I was figuring out what to get. They were also super nice and helpful? providing suggestions and recommendations. They even gave me some extras in my box, too! I will definitely be coming back.
The blueberry muffin donuts are amazing, my gosh!! Like the best quality fresh blueberry muffins with a little icing and crumbles on top. Light, proper blueberry flavor and none of that sickly sweet store bought taste you?d find in many blueberry muffins. I will definitely be back again, the different flavors they have here look incredible.
The donuts are good. But the problem is that they only bake a certain amount of donuts in the morning, and then they don?t make any more. They sell until they run out for the day. So even though they close at 1, if you show up at 11, there isn?t much left, and by noon everything is gone.
10/10 amazing! Bacon ?? on a Maple Bar?!?! Shut up and take my ?? I ordered half-dozen assorted doughnuts and they threw in a bonus dozen mix of holes and croinuts!!! Love it
Let?s start with the positive. The donuts taste pretty good. Not the best I?ve ever had but good enough. That is not where the complaint lies. The experience was sub par. The windows were dirty, and the door handle greasy. The woman who helped was extremely rude, when greeting. Something unusual for a morning donut shop. I understand that 3 customers may feel like a rush when the store is so small, but when your in a service business, your personal stress shouldn?t affect your attitude towards custom
I broke my new years resolution by chomping on these donuts. I had two of them, and let me e tell you they are damn good! They are filling because at 3:00 pm. Not even hungry, and I ate them at 9:00 am. Friendly staff, great service, free parking. Only knock is the donuts are kinda pricey, but I noticed even donut shops that sell basic donuts have raised prices. These are not your basic donuts. I guess they cost more because they use better ingredients. I get it Won't go there every week, but I will visit a
Typically when I go into work on Saturday morning I will stop by to pick up some fresh donuts. They have a wide variety to choose from, and all taste super delicious. I usually get the ham and cheese croissant and the donut holes. I'll be going back next weekend to try some other things out!
Sweet Dozen ?? I tried this place because the reviews I saw were very positive...my experience is sadly NOT the same.. this donut shop is WAY overpriced for what you get. The quality was horrible! I question if they are using old oil when they are frying them up. I?ve tried cronut before and these were nothing like them. I wouldn?t recommend this place. Don?t waste your money (see receipt posted) ??
Best ham and Swiss croissant I've had. The outside retains its crispy crunchiness. Same thing with the doughnuts, they are amazing!
Super nice lady at the counter and hooked us up with 12 delicious donuts plus 1 extra for free!
These doughnutsters came to Auburn to hand out their delectable doughnuts to our tribal members.. I didn?t think much of the donuts but when I tasted them I was flabbergasted! The donut/croissant things are amazing. Also, tried a lemon doughnut and a maple doughnut which were fantastic also. i want to try all their donuts. I?m pretty sure I?m hooked and I?ll be needing a fix real soon... so in conclusion, I will see you in the morning to get my wake up, Sweetie Dozen. So until then, my scrumptious little d
I went here the other day for a dozen. Not just a regular dozen. Fancier style donuts. I was impressed by the flavor of the donuts. But they were also good sized as well. I also tried a Cronut for the first time, also really tasty. it is hard to find a quality donut shop that has the size, the taste, and the price. Will definitely be going back.
AMAZING!!!! The donuts are SO good and the girls behind the counter are super friendly and sweet. I had a latte and it was fantastic as well. The prices are extremely low, especially with how good the donuts are. Their yeast donut is super delicious. They have banana and apple fritters, we got one of each. They are both delicious but the apple is definately better. The only thing I would do differently is that I got the crumble dossoint and wasnt super big on the crumble. I would get it glazed next time. W
The best donuts and "doissants" (a croissant made like a donut) in town! This place has great fresh donuts each day. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. I've never had a better experience in a donut shop. It's what you think a donut shop should be. They also serve coffee. My favorite is their chocolate covered doissant. But they have so many good choices and fun flavors, including maple bacon, you'll never get bored!
This is the best donut place in Sacramento. Not only that, but the owners are just the most generous and kind folks. You can tell they bake with love! Thanks to the crew for the best donuts and smiles ??
Chocolate, cinnamon sugar crumble cronut & jelly filled glaze. Next box is chocolate custard filled, Oreo, glaze, cherry cruller & raspberry cronut. My experience was great and the man who served me was so nice & kind enough to throw in these amazing donut holes that taste so unique, fresh and nicely frosted / flaky on the outside for my baby (I am 8 months pregnant). Great quality & service!
I recently had the pleasure of discovering Sweet Dozen in Sacramento, CA, and it instantly became my favorite donut destination in the entire area. With their unique flavors, amazing prices, convenient location, and exceptional generosity, Sweet Dozen stands out as a true gem among donut shops. Let's start with the star of the show?the donuts. Sweet Dozen offers a delectable array of flavors that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. From classic favorites to creative and unique creations, there's something
I?ve eaten donuts all around Sac & the Bay, including but not limited to other states. Sweet DOZEN Donuts has gourmet level donuts trust your taste buds !!! TASTE AND See..
I was here only once and I didn?t want to do it again. I was waiting for a mobile phone repair shop to open, I was freezing, everything was closed. I remembered that I saw this eatery on the map, decided to have a snack, asked for something fresh, but for some reason the seller decided to get rid of something very stale and gave it to me, hardened, tasteless, from a glass counter, apparently it had been there for at least a week, rotten, tasteless, hard. Do not sell anything from under the glass of the r
Love this place. Donuts are so good, and a lot to choose from. Staff very friendly.
Best donuts, best people. The donuts are creative and delicious and just fun to eat. They catered donuts for our wedding and they were a big hit. Highly recommend you stop by.
Honestly, they are the BEST donut place around. They always have an awesome variety, their donuts are so fresh and delicious, and their customer service is out of this world. Literally every time I leave, I want to leave a 5 star review for them somewhere just to thank them for being amazing. I always leave better off than I started! Thank you so much Sweet Dozen!
Excellent Customer Service. Best donuts I have had in my whole life. My husband loves this place and so do I. You?ll regret not giving them a chance!!!! ??????
Their donuts are so good, so many different options than other places. Friendly staff and decent prices. I had gone to get donuts cause our power was out from the storm and the kids loved them so much they cheered and sang about it.
My husband brought home a dozen for us this morning. If you have not tried Sweet Dozen then you need to. The doughnuts are sooo delicious and are fluffy. We will be back again. ??
Probably one of the best donut places I?ve had in a while. The guy inside that gave me. My donuts was really nice and I really enjoyed all of my donuts. I will definitely be coming back and recommending to my friends and family.
Second time going here, the donuts are always consistently sweet and such a beautiful display of danishes and bear claw donuts one my favs actually 10/10 experience was not a long line and friendly staff
Selection of dounuts was overwhelming. No ridiculous long wait for the mochi donuts unlike the San Jose pop-up I've been to. Friendly staff and ample parking. Will be back.
Mochi Donuts only available Sat/Sun. They were a little more dense than I prefer but they were great donuts nonetheless. The doissant was great. They have lots of beautiful donuts and plentiful flavors.
So many options, if you?re looking for something apart from the usual donut. Be aware though these are not your usual $1.50 donuts
Hands down, the best Donuts within 100 miles, or more. U gotta try the bacon maple donut & strawberry cream cheese "doe-sant". Trust me, it will change your life ;)
My first time there.she was so so sweet and the donuts were so great I will be back.
If you're watching what you eat keep driving but you can also stop by for some delicious cronuts. My first time and simply amazing
Friendly staff and great donuts. The ice cream filled was very fun, but not for take out. Get on it as soon as it comes out for best results. They even gave us a couple of free donuts, so happy with this place!
Great variety and kid friendly sizes. Something for everyone. The doughnuts taste fresh, delicious and fluffy.
These donuts are fabulous. Both the adults and the kids in our family loved them. Some of the flavors are both nostalgic and playful. Such a fun concept for the whole family to enjoy. I would highly recommend these for a morning treat, special event, or just because. The shop itself is super cute and clean and the donut display so beautiful!
We?ve been getting donuts from Sweet Dozen from Too Good to Go. The owner is so generous and the donuts are very delicious.
Best Donuts Ever!!! I live in San Francisco and even San Francisco doesn't have donuts as fresh and delicious as these. Anytime I'm driving back and forth to Tahoe, I make a point to stop at Sweet Dozen! Mouthwatering donuts, crafted perfectly and friendly service as well. A note of caution they close at 1pm, so this is definitely a morning place.
I would give them 6 stars if I could. The doughnuts are amazing and the service was wonderful. I showed up RIGHT as they were closing and the owner was kind enough to stay late and help me snag the last dozen of the day. Wonderful shop. A+ Business.
Great doughnuts and very friendly staff, they open early but also close early too unfortunately.
First time going was such a great experience, the owner is so kind and makes the most amazing donuts. A must try is their Cronut. I love going here it really is a hidden gem in this area.
My husband and I go out of our way for this donut shop. Their classic donuts and fun flavorful donuts are so good. The donut shops close to me are always a hit or miss or sometimes just a big "MISS". So when we found this one, we don't bother with any other donut shop.
I've been coming since they first opened up back in the early 2010s when I was a kid and in over a decade since they opened, they've always been the best donut spot in Sacramento. Never compromising in taste or quality and always with great prices, Sweet Dozen will forever be my favorite donut shop in the 916.
These people close their shop early all of the time and we've wasted so many trips here for nothing. Today whoever the woman was working and there was incredibly rude. Officially lost our service, which sucks cuz the donuts are great.
I come almost every day before work because I can't get enough. The service and donuts are amazing. Personally I love their croissant products. You can tell they put amazing work into crafting these donuts and much more. I always recommend the croissant holes.
We like Sweet Dozen's doughnuts so much that we drive from Folsom for them! They have the best doughnuts in the Sacramento area. And the owner is genuinely nice and caring.
Delightful Service, Aroma & Overall Quality that made my day; I?ll definitely be returning!!!
Best donuts in town! Service is great. The donuts are fresh and reasonably priced.
This is THE donut spot. There is such a great selection, you won't be disappointed. The cronuts just pop full of sugary goodness. And the maple bacon bar conjures up a pancake piece smother in syrup with a piece of bacon all at the same time in your mouth!!!
Amazing selection of premium unique donuts! The raspberry stuffed doughnut was delicious! The blueberry cake doughnut with fresh blueberries was an absolute treat!
LOVE THIS PLACE! Fresh donuts. Great people
This place is amazing. The flavors of donuts they have are so creative and made perfectly! I would expect the prices to be way more than what I paid. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and generous. I just stopped in for a few donuts but left with so much good stuff! I was not prepared for the awesome selection ?? I have just found my new regular donut shop!
Stopped by this morning. Service was awesome, welcoming, and helpful. Got an assortment and every one is delicious! Not just your average grocery store donuts. My favorite was a raised one rolled similar to a croissant with chocolate rolled in and chocolate on top. Definitely would return back next time we're in town.
If you love donuts, you have to try Sweet Dozen! I ? this place. They have amazing, unique, ?? yummy donuts, and they are always getting me with a smile. You won't regret it. A must try = 5?????
had to make a quick pitt stop to grab some donuts for a work function and wow the service absolutely blew me away! the gentleman working the front was incredibly patient and understanding! definitely one of the hidden gems of this area! i HIGHLY recommend swinging by! oh also the donuts are delish (duh)
Very good place, I was craving coffee ? and donuts ?? and Sweet Dozen did not disappoint. The donuts were well made and I'm very picky, mostly because I used to work at a donut shop when I was a teenager so I know a thing or two about a well made donut.
Above average quality doughnuts. Flavor and texture are good for the basics. Service is fast but is somewhat over the top friendly. They will sometimes hook you up with a baker's dozen (and even another spare sometimes) when you get a dozen. Update: Their apple fritters have been gooey inside the past few times over the past few years. Haven't come here often in recent years since the kids haven't asked.
Soooo YUM Great service (I mean seriously really nice) And delicious I appreciate how good it is and how helpful they were. Finally the mocha was A1 I will definitely return
A nice clean place with a wide variety of donuts. Went there this morning and ordered two donuts and they cost $9.00. They looked fantastic and were really amazing. The only negative is the cost. I understand I didn't order the " basic" doughnut, and one gets what they pay for. While they were incredible doughnuts, $4.50 a piece is too much for me. Will I be back to Sweet Dozen? You bet, but it won't be a daily go to spot. Maybe a couple times a month. A positive experience all-in-all
Amazing!!! Fresh donuts, cheap good coffee, and the nicest service. Gave us 3 free donuts and was great to talk to! Support your Sacramento local businesses! Will be back soon
Ive lived by this store for 6 years and this is my first of many visits to come. Delicious donut holes. Kindest service. My 5 year old came in so excited to purchase her own donut with change and they were very sweet and patient with her. Excellent service excellent donut quality.
This is my favorite donut shop! We have been coming here for 4 years now, and they are never a mistake. They're affordable, have really fun flavors, and are always delicious. I highly recommend you come here.
Highly recommend this donut shop. This shop adds a nice twist to donuts without being over the top like some donut shops. The donuts are really tasty and the service is great. We even got a couple of extra donuts thrown in the box. Definitely worth trying!
Best donuts and donuts related pastries. Huge variety of donuts, croissants, cronuts, mochi donuts, etc. Staff is always friendly. Coffee could use some improvements.
Came there because our regular place was closed. It looked very clean, inviting and modern. Prices are higher than our regular place, but the selection is better too. We were about to buy 3 donuts, but they generously added some freebies, making my kids rave about it all the way in a car)) Very nice of them to spread holiday cheer and make new loyal customers!
During my quick visit to Sacramento I was taken to this hidden gem! Sweet Dozen not only had impeccable service but their donuts were worth the trip from Canada alone! With so much variety I couldn't choose just one so I had to try them all! Loved it so much that I went back to grab a bunch before my flight home to share. Everything is "made fresh" in house the same morning and you can definitely tell from the first bite! Their staff, especially the amazing girl who works there were quick, friendly and dedi
I knew about this place from my supervisor who bought doughnuts for my workplace at school. So I went to get myself a dozen. And I got to say the place is really nice. It's family owned and run. I was helped by the son, now owner of the place, and he was an amazing guy. I got additional donuts too, free of charge. Overall amazing experience. Glad I came in for today. Definitely will come back next time!
I went here Saturday morning on 4/24/2021. I thought this place was going to be great since it has a lot of reviews.. I?m sorry to say this, but the donuts were not as great as people made it to be. We got a mixture of their regular donuts and specialty ones. The donuts tasted like they were old. I usually stick to the original glazed and it was not soft and fluffy like other places. The overall donuts were just hard to us. I hope it?s not like this again. I am willing to try it again.
I like coming here. But I noticed sometimes the donuts were good and sometimes they weren't. One was fluffy and delicious, the next time it was not so fluffy and extra greasy. I asked out of curiosity if they had two bakers and the lady said yes. Leads me to believe one baker is better then the other. I think the only thing they are lacking is consistency.
Best donut place near me. Always bringing my nephews there and they love it! owners are amazing they even gave us free donuts when apple pay wasn?t working. I appreciate it
tons of unique / specialty and classic options to chose from. everything is fresh. the people are super kind and friendly, and they know what they offer very well. I feel like a regular here and I don't even like donuts expect theirs. the owners are very passionate for what they do and you can see and taste all of their hard work. Can't wait to be back.
Came in this morning for the first time since moving to this side of town. About 10 am on a Monday and selection was still great. Service was as expected, cordial, not bubbly friendly, but I don?t expect that. Asked the man a few questions about some of the doughnuts, and what was the best time to come on the weekend. He answered all my questions and was helpful. Said best time to come on the weekend was before 10am, and that they have a wider variety on the weekend and make more doughnuts. Doughnuts tast
The quality of the product they produce is unbeatable in Sacramento. They make there dough every morning and it?s never old. There so fresh when you buy them they are still hot and steaming also the quality and flavor is like no other. You have to try it and you will be blown away. They also like to throw in a bonus of a few extra donuts for no extra cost. The store is a warming place where you can sit and enjoy your donut or drink and look around and see the history of the store. They take great pride in s
I love this place. They have some delicious and beautifully fresh donuts. I really like their fruit glazed donuts and their cronuts. I took the family this morning around 10 am and all my favorites from them were sold out. :( That would be my biggest complaint. They seem to sell out of the best choices fairly often which makes me wonder why they dont make more of their more popular flavors. I also wish they had better drink options.
It was my first time in the store, but bought a dozen for my anniversary! I was offered a free sample as I walked in, the lady told me about all of the donuts, and helped me pick a bunch out. They offer military discounts, which I wasn't aware, so after tipping $2, my total was the same hahaha. The donuts are delicious, moist and one of my favorites. I will be back!
First time visitor and will surely return. I thought all Donuts are alike till I ate there. Not too much sugar in their Donuts. Kay, the girl who helped us out was awesome and pleasant. They run out of Donuts quickly so visit them early in the morning.
One of the best places for donuts in Sacramento, hands down. As I walk in, the owner is one of the coolest people I've ever met. Down to earth and just really friendly. If you have a chance to walk in, try a dozen of their amazing donuts. They have a bacon maple donut that is awesome and greatly priced.
I arrived before 10am on a Sunday and all the good Donuts were gone! ????? I do love "Old Fashioned Glazed and the Sprinkle Donuts" but they only had 1 of each left. California is required to wear masks again and I seen a few customers enter the business with no mask on and the employees didn't say anything to the customers about them not wearing a mask. There were two lady employees working and neither one of them could explain or describe the product to me.... It's just Donuts ladies! ??????? I unders
The best selection of classics and creative donuts. They taste better and look better than other places
I?d share a photo but we ate the delicious treats too fast ?? Hidden gem. Very nice establishment with even nicer staff. Appreciate the excellent customer service!
First time visit & such a friendly atmosphere. I only had a few bucks & could only afford 1 donut. They generously put extra 3 donuts plus change for 1 donut. Such random act of kindness made my day Lord knows my day is rough as it is. I dont know if they will get to read this but thank you from the bottom of my heart. May you be blessed in abundance for your work & the business as a whole. Thank you so much & God bless ??????
The woman who owns this shop is truly lovely. This was my family's first time at the shop and we stopped here randomly. It turned out awesome because not only is the food quality wonderful, but the customer service is top notch. She deserves plenty of customers.
My first time in this store since they've changed over. I went in this morning at 6 am on my way to work. There was one customer ahead of me getting a large order. The woman behind the counter greeted me. After a few minutes she said sorry for the wait. She then began transferring the customers order from small boxes to a big box. She then put the box on the counter & without saying anything walked in the back room leaving both of us to wait in the lobby with no one helping us. I waited a few more minutes &
This place has a really great selection of donuts I haven't seen anywhere else and they're extremely fresh and soft! I'd have to say this is my new favorite local donut shop. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the entire place is nice and clean, has plenty of seating, and and overall friendly and enviting atmosphere.
A bit pricey but they are worth it. We are always happy with the selection and the doughnuts. The staff is always warm and welcoming and I've never had a complaint about them. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
