Customer Reviews

My family and I LOVE The Family Donut and refuse to go anywhere else for donuts. Not only do they have the best donuts and kelochis, but the family who owns it is very kind people and my family has built a personal relationship with. You can tell their food is made with love and is fresh every day. Thank you Family Donut!

They have a variety of donuts and breakfast items, Freshly made, Service was friendly.

Wonderful little shop. The donuts are amazing and they did such a great job on my office birthday donuts. Very pretty! Thank you!

Nice fresh donuts, nothing out of the ordinary, and the lady that served me was nice. I ordered the donut holes, and a lemon filled which was bitter and a little strange tasting, but the raspberry filled was pretty good. All the donuts had a nice glaze and were fairly priced. I would certainly stop by again, when in the neighborhood.

First thought. "Fresh." I definitely taste the freshness. The owner also gave us a few extra donut holes. Cheery and pleasant employees. Kids love the variety of donuts they have.

Charges more than other shops and they are not good food sits out very open to flys and other pest i hate it! I paid more for cheese there is no cheese

I went 1/3/2023 at exactly 11:53am. The sign states they are closed at 12pm. My daughter and I got out the car to get donuts. Why was your employee rudely telling us to leave? There was no given explanation. She CLEARLY saw us and waved ?No.? If you?re going to close before 12 then why not state that you are closing at earlier time instead? Waste of time.

Love this place the donuts here are awesome. Theres one that I dont know what its called but its got spinach and cream vheese its my favorite they warm it up for you and its soooo good. Only downside... I wish their coffee was stronger i know the first couple of times I came here the coffee was awesone but then all of a sudden it was all watery. Dont know what caused the change but someone should look into it. Other than that its great here fast and friendly.

Very friendly. These are the only donuts my son will eat. If I go somewhere else he always notices the difference. Delicious and cheap!

Good, no wait...great donuts. Nice, clean place...My only issue is they're closed on Sundays. Yes I know this a holy day for many, but maybe have co-workers work... Idk just saying...

One of the oldest and best family owned donut shop in town. Fresh Hot Coffee. Prices have been the same for years. Great Service.
