The Donut King

Reviews Summary

The reviews show a polarized consensus with many 5-star ratings praising the fresh, delicious donuts and excellent service from the friendly owner, often calling them the best in town. However, several 1-star reviews cite inconsistent hours (often closed during business times), overpriced or smaller portions post-management change, and occasional quality issues with coffee or specific donuts. The positive experiences heavily outweigh the negatives, but reliability appears to be a recurring concern for dissatisfied customers.

Customer Reviews

Top tier donuts and great customer service - more than once he's given us a free bunch of donut holes. My only complaint is that it's pretty sad when I rush over at 3:40 or 3:50 only to have my hopes dashed (multiple times) - wish he were open later or at Least consistently until his posted closing time at 4pm. Still my favorite local business and the best donuts around though.

My bestfriend and I come here often whenever we have the time and we always end up more than satisfied with our purchase. They have the tastiest donuts ever and the owner is very polite. I highly recommend this place.

Best donuts and bread in town. Donuts always daily fresh made. Looking forward to come here often. After bad experiences with plaza bakery with stale and rude employees I'm making this my spot. Thanks Alex for great service.

Ok, the ordinary sugar donut was good, but the chocolate donut tasted absolutely not (only sweet, kind of "flaky", not really fresh). But the worst was the coffee: thin and not tasting. The decoration, the tables and the facility should be nicer (more "eye for the detail").

Alex (the owner) is the best guy you'll ever meet. His donuts are the best tasting. They are perfection. Highly recommended ??

Changed management, recipe,and even the size of the donut. Overpriced for no reason, just go to Safeway and get donuts there.

This place is amazing! I absolutely recommend this place. The owner works so hard to make these donuts each day by himself and it shows! This place made it hard for me to like donuts anywhere else.

Donut King has the best donuts around. This place beats out any big city donut place Ive ever tried. Made fresh daily!

Want a good old-fashioned donut? You need to go to Donut King, it's much better then all the other places about. There donuts are so good. Especially with a cup of coffee.

This place has amazing glazed donuts. Perfectly fluffy and delicious. Worth a stop. Next to 7-11 vs inside.

For being the only donut shop in king city I'm very disappointed. I've come three times now and it has not been opened. I hope someone opens another one because my pregnancy cravings are going unmet. ??

I really like this place because it has donuts and donut holes they are GOOD so I recommend this place
