Customer Reviews

Best donuts up the hill for sure thats for apple valley victorville & Hesperia area. I recommend getting donuts in the morning. Past 3pm they start to taste different not as fluffy. I liked the Nutella donut wished it was filled up more to be a premium donut. I really didnt like any other donut besides the Nutella one I got. Not so impressed with the quality of the dough though they are just. better then the typical chinese owned donut shops. Id say stick to more of the fancy and classics. The Premiums aren

They have a range of interesting donuts with cereal toppings and such. There are the classics too. I have enjoyed all the ones that I have tasted. Good quality, always fresh and soft. My dad is in love with the apple fritters. He will ask one of his kids or grandkids to go fetch him one on a regular basis. The staff I have dealt with have been great too! Very friendly. My only complaint is they run out quickly, so if you don't go early the selection will be slim.

Perfect place to grab specialty donuts. Such a selection to choose from. If you are looking for something fun and tasty I would recommend the Oreo or Red Velvet donut. If you love super sweet then the Carmel glazed one is your go to. Definitely stop by and grab 3 - 6 - 12 donuts to go!

The donuts are so good! The shop is adorable! The shape is unique and the different types of flavor are executed well. The biscoff one got the flavor exactly!

Pretty solid donuts! Had the fruity pebbles, blueberry, and a chocolate one that were all good. Didn't have the typical donut shop taste to them, which I liked. Only docking a star because the croissant donut I had was just really really bad. It was limp and oily. Threw it away after two bites.

Too many donut shops bake sugar into every inch of their donuts, that's not the case at The Box Donuts. When I try new donut places I always wonder if the donuts will be good. Most people have a shop they know and love and prefer to go to everytime they want donuts. I rarely hear people venturing out to new shops because they don't know if the donuts will be good. The Box Donut is a great shop to go to when you want donuts that have been made well. I was pleasantly surprised, when I took my first bite, th

Sooo yummy!! The dough is so light and airy. The frosting, I had the fruit loops (which I think they called fruity pebbles) and maple, was sooooo tasty. Probably the mapliest maple I?ve ever had. The family loves the donuts they had as well. I live in OR, I wish we had The Box Donuts here! Next High Desert trip I will be going back for sure!!!

This is my new favorite donut shop in the high desert. I loved the fancy, premium and classic donut choices. If you're looking for quality..it's here. Also know that this is the only shop in the high desert that is serving cronuts. Stay tuned for more because the owner mentioned that filled cronuts will be on the menu soon. Prices vary on the style of donut and you can build your donut box. Box sizes are 3, 6, or 12 donuts. For more review details check my social media @daycationwithamanda

The overall vibe is such an amazing feeling, the workers are very sweet and give you the best options based off what you like: from sweet to light sweet. Having tried their donuts they're really good for the price, I highly recommend for more to come here, such an underrated gem!

Before writing this review, I attempted to call the restaurant twice to resolve the issue, but no one answered. I placed a delivery order specifically for the Cronuts. I ordered four of them and received zero. Had I known they were unavailable, I would?ve canceled the entire order but I was never given that opportunity because, they took it upon themselves to make the decision for me to replace my $4 Cronuts ($16 worth of food paid for) with $2 donuts ($8 worth of food - how nice of them!) all of which will

the box doughnut has been advertising for gluten free doughnuts since they have opened. Every time I've went in and asked if they have gluten free yet, which has all been 2-3 months apart, they've said "it's coming soon" the 4th time i went in, i finically asked if they are actually ever going to have gluten free or if they are just saying it. They replied that they say it to get more people to come in... don't get us gluten allergies excited when it's all just a marketing scheme.

i was assisted by angelina, and walking in she instantly greeted me and made me feel super welcome about having any questions! she knew all the answers, and even helped me bring my box of donuts to my car because i was carrying my baby! she was so so sweet. they had a few samples out so i grabbed one, they were so fresh and yummy! so i know these donuts are about to hit. but because angelina was the best i will now 150% be coming back asap!

This was my first time here and I?m impressed. I will be coming back soon. The lady that helped me was very patient and professional. Definitely a staple of mine for donuts. Keep up the great work!

The only thing unique about these donuts is their square shape?beyond that, they?re just your average donut trying to pass as something high quality. The price is outrageously high for what you get. There?s a lot of effort put into marketing them as premium, but the flavor and quality don?t match the hype. There store is really cute though. If you?re looking for something truly high-quality or unique, look elsewhere. These are overpriced, underwhelming, and ultimately disappointing for what we thought we

These donuts are the best in taste and have always made my mornings seeing my family and colleagues at work light up when they see these donuts ??????

I went for the first time last week because my gf wanted to try them out, since they are new and down the street from us. So we started big and got a dozen to get a good sampling of all their donuts. They have such a huge variety of flavors with cool designs. The donuts as you'd expect by the shop name are box shaped(square) and I absolutely loved it because when you think of a traditional donut being circular with a hole in the middle, the box shape adds edges to the donut that would make up the dough rem

Hmm.. so place is cute n clean. Donuts r cool gimmick but just went for a jelly donut.. was not jelly inside... was a weird gelatin.. going back to my usual shop

So the first thing you'll notice walking into the store is an off putting smell. I thought it was just the ovens or the process of making the donuts. However you'll quickly learn that smell IS the donuts and they taste exactly like that. They look amazing but are absolutely GROSS. It's unfortunate cause the girl working the front is extremely nice.

Their donuts are light and delicious. They offer a wide variety of donuts from classic glaze to fun flavors like Reese's Pieces. Our family enjoyed the atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I stopped by for the first time today. The young lady working the counter was very nice. The shop was clean. I went late in the day so not as much variety as would be found earlier in the day. I grabbed 3: chocolate, lemon filled and strawberry filled. Go check it out and pick up some yummy donuts that a square instead of round and a bit larger.

Was so excited to try these but was extremely disappointed. I ordered some of each type of donut and every single one was dry and tasted old. It might have been because I ordered on DoorDash but was still really surprised at just how stale they were, over priced for the quality in my opinion. I did like the maple flavor they use for the maple donuts but otherwise would not order again.

Great donuts! went because they opened up right down the street from us, now my boyfriend has been to pick some more up nearly every day this week ?? definitely recommend! Absolutely love Mr. Cinnamon, I think it's my favorite! The ?clair is also a tasty one!

I?ve been wanting to stop by since the open because of all the hype and they honestly do look delicious ?? I love chocolate and who don?t love donuts ?? BUT unfortunately to my liking and my son wouldn?t the best we got 6 and I got to say we tried them all but didn?t finish them. To me they had an aftertaste idk ????? and like I said I LOVE chocolate I got 2 of the chocolate ones mmmmm wasn?t the best taste honestly. I was a bit disappointed but hey we all have different tastes just not a go for me ????? bu

Looking for new donut spots my daughter found this one and see if you haven't had one of these definitely try it it might just be your favorite

To the person working Thursday night, you need to be re-trained in customer service and knowledge of the items you sell. No coffee at 5:45 pm. How can a doughnut shop run out of coffee?

Came across them while getting gas at Arco. Went in and was greeted by the person in the front, then the one in the back came out and also spoke. Good energy in the store to start. They have a huge variety of specialized donuts; Snickers, Twix, KitKat, Smores. It was difficult to pick 12. They all looked so good. I would recommend for friendliness, cleanliness and delicious donuts.

I saw a Instagram reel about this place and went straight there to try it, sadly we weren?t impressed at all. There are unique options BUT the taste and fluffiness just isn?t there and they were stale. Not sure if they were from the day before or what but definitely not worth the hype/money. 21$ for 7 donuts.

Omg! Just tried these donuts for the first time. So good! You really need to try them!

The donuts look so delicious, BUT taste dry. Wouldn?t purchase again prefer a regular donut shop or Krispy Kreme.

I saw a video of this place on Instagram so I had to come see it myself. The place was very clean. I think the young lady that served me was Kimberly she was very nice ?? The doughnuts are reasonable priced and if you buy 3 doughnuts you get 1 dollar off..very clean place. No where to sit so it's all taken out but they put them in a cool box. Check them out ??

Wow! Square donuts! Tasty! Nice staff.

Excited to try these donuts! Great customer service.

The donuts are amazingly decorated. They taste as great as they look. This is our new go to spot for dessert?? and coffee ??.

Got 2 boxes of very expensive donuts because we had people over and wanted to try them. They tasted like old nasty oil. No one liked them.

Very unfriendly workers and the donuts are too expensive. We bought half dozen and they tasted old definitely weren't fresh, very dry! So will not return!!

These donuts are really mouthwatering ??.. I recommend try these out, the services they providing are amazing as well

Mostly clean looking. Donuts themselves smell like old oil. I'd rather a Dunkin' Donut. Nothing special about them.

Nice shop that sells a good variety of doughnuts. Got a glazed and had a fresh taste, was very fluffy, and hit the spot.

Donuts are high end along with great quality. Must go !!

What a delicious donuts here ???? You guys have to visit here and it?s really good for kids ??

Donuts are great! But customer service sucks. Lady who is there gave me attitude and rushed me to buy donuts I didn?t want.

Amazing vibe as soon as you walk through the doors you?re greeted with amazing customer service . Very Yummy fresh donuts with tons of unique options !

I dropped one of the donuts on my foot and now im in the ER. These things are hard as rock. I was trying to impress my kids and I ended up disappointing myself??

Idk if I went on a bad day but my donuts were a bit dry I got a dozen for about 42 dollars very pricey and I only had half a donut and left the rest I had my kids and husband try but they seemed to not like it.

Nice donut spot, appreciate a different take on the donut shape, decent flavor options too. Very friendly staff and clean interior.

The donuts are so fresh and tasty . The workers are very friendly. The atmosphere is very nice . ??

Good donuts was really fast interaction cute place

I?ve been waiting for this shops to open and i wasn?t disappointed, vary great donuts, and the prices are great too!

It?s nice having such a unique place in the desert. The donuts were good, and the staff was friendly.

Great taste big variety if you want a step above the ordinary donut,the box donut is your place. Congratulations

I was looking so forward to trying these doughnut...I got the lemon filled and when I took a bite...there was basically no lemon filling..nut was all dough...the.custard filled was the same....very disappointing
