Customer Reviews

We used this company for our wedding day because my husband and I aren't big cake people so we though donuts would be a fun and cute option while also making it easier for guests to enjoy a sweet treat. We are SO happy we went with this company for our big day as they went above and beyond for us!! We worked with the owner for a while trying to get they set up perfect and she truly poured her heart and soul into making sure the donuts for our donut tower would hold perfectly throughout the night while also

We were so excited to try this shop, but unfortunately the donuts were not our fave. Donuts were very sweet. We tried bites of 6 different kinds (mostly cake donuts, a cronut, and a fancy), but ate less than 1 cumulative donut each, and still ended up with stomach aches. :?( The cake donuts were extremely sweet and the strawberry / blueberry flavors tasted artificial. As others mentioned, the cronuts are good! (This was our favorite of the bunch). More balanced sweetness, good flavor and texture. Staff

I cannot say enough great things about this donut shop and the owner, Danica. We worked with Danica to have a donut wall as a dessert option at our wedding. Danica let us taste a ridiculous number of donuts to help us decide which flavors we wanted to offer. The donuts are delicious, so it was tough to narrow it down. The donut wall was so cute and it was such a hit at our wedding. Working with Danica was seamless and enjoyable. She is so thoughtful, goes above and beyond, and really cared about making our

We used We Knead Donuts for our wedding dessert. We had a morning brunch wedding at Ken caryl Vista. It was super easy to coordinate the order, and I was given the direct email and phone number for one of the store managers. She was very responsive and quickly made any changes to our order when needed. We rented the donut wall for very reasonable price. They delivered our donuts and set them up in a cute display. Everyone thought it was adorable and said the donuts were delicious. We ordered mini donuts, an

This place is the most amazing donut shop I have ever been in! I only buy the croissant donuts or "Cronuts" as I call them which are the absolute best I've ever had!! The flaky layer after layer just melting in your mouth is a whole experience enjoying one YUM I tell all my friends and family to go there and whenever I do, I buy enough to share. Definitely a must stop if you're near Southwest Plaza Mall!

So excited that this donut shop is finally open! I stopped by last week I met the owners, who were extremely friendly and excited to talk about their new business. I tried a couple of donuts that were both freshly made and delicious. I want to come back soon and try all the flavors! The cronuts are amazing, it?s a must try when you come in.

Danica and her catering assistant went above and beyond to ensure our donut wall was amazing! So organized and easy to work with! The donuts WOW! Fresh made only hours before delivery to our venue in Estes Park! Best ever service and the donuts are the best in Denver! Can?t wait to work with you for our next event!

I believe we met the owner of the shop and they were very friendly and accommodating! They provided excellent service and most importantly the donuts are outstanding!! We also ordered a jalapeno cheddar kolache and it was delicious!! Didn't get a picture of it as it was gone as soon as I got in the car. We will be back to this shop! I'm glad we gave it a try!

We love everything we?ve tried here. Not only that today, our 4 year old was so excited about our box of donuts he accidentally dropped them all!! They didn?t hesitate to completely replace our order. We so needed a good donuts in our area and I hope they stay here forever!!

I cannot recommend We Knead Donut Littleton enough!! Danica and her team provided donuts+ a donut wall for my wedding reception and were just amazing to work with. My husband and I were quite busy leading up to the reception and told Danica we would be happy to have her arrange/decorate the donut wall however she wanted...and man are we glad she did! It looked amazing! Not to mention that the donuts are to die for. Seriously I have never had better donuts in my life. I can't wait to go back by the shop soon

We were excited to find this donut shop, it is adorable. The donuts were so good! We used the TooGoodToGo app to purchase the large surprise bag, and it was the perfect way to try the treats :)

My girls loved this weekend treat. Their special strawberry croissant had chocolate hidden in the middle and was worth the calories! There was a long line but it moved quickly. Everyone who worked there was friendly. The location is right next to clement park so you can take a beautiful stroll around the lake after enjoying the donuts.

Ive Been here a couple of times. The donuts are so good. The price you pay in calories is well worth it. The staff is friendly and patient.

This was our first time going since moving to Littleton, and we loved it. I don't remember the lady's name but she was absolutely lovely! We will definitely be back.

I placed a large order of donuts for my wedding from We Knead Donut and they were fan favorite of all our guests. Not only were they delicious, but Danica went above and beyond to make ?MR? and ?MRS? donuts and was a huge pleasure to work with. She made sure everything was packaged at a pickup time the day of the wedding and everything went perfectly. I cannot thank Danica and her whole staff enough.

My first visit to the shop was beyond my expectations! The staff was prompt and friendly. The donuts are huge, so fresh and absolutely delicious. My grandsons loved the Bavarian cream filled, cinnamon twists and my favorite is the maple bacon. I will definitely be back again.

Not only are the donuts absolutely delicious but the customer service is exceptional. Danica goes above and beyond and always makes us feel welcomed. She even remembers my donut order!!

Wonderful service and delicious donuts that were amazing soft, fresh, and perfectly sweet. I cannot recommend this place enough if you're looking for a fun donut treat and I hope to try more of their donuts soon!

Danica and her husband have something super special at this location!! The jelly filled donuts are my favorite, they fill them when you order and definitely don?t skimp on the filling, almost as much jelly as there is donut, I love it! My girlfriend and I have made this our new Sunday morning routine for the last 3 weeks. This is our favorite donut spot in town. The staff is friendly and attentive!! 10/5 stars!!!

Just got some doughnuts here and it's my new favorite doughnut spot. Their specialty croissant doughnut with strawberries was the best doughnut I've ever had. Highly recommend giving them a try.

Donuts are great, boba is disgusting. All the boba balls had been broken apart into tiny pieces and every sip had a terrible texture. Hands down the worst boba I?ve ever had.

Great kids doughnuts. Plenty of fun decorations. Daughter loved her birthday dozen! Will have to try the Westminster location as that?s much closer

So I moved here from Austin back in 2008, and besides BBQ I really missed the Kolache's. I never would have thought to look for them in a donut shop, but yet here they are! and they're legit! My wife found them because she's a donut hound lol. She says best donut she's had. This place is great give it a try, and I'm telling ya to try the Kolache's too!

Holy cow! I can't say enough good things about WKD Littleton! Their donuts and kolachis are amazing and the service is wonderful. I definitely recommend!

Ordering "letter" donuts was so easy. Went in to order and the people working were extremely kind and knowledgeable, and when there was a mixup with the donut holes we ordered, they went above and beyond to make it right with whole, specialty donuts and cronuts (not pictured). Everyone LOVED those, especially.

Excellent donuts and service. Nice to support a locally owned spot. Love the donuts filled to order. Their specialty donuts are a delight!

I?ve never had a cronut before and it was the most wonderful thing I ever put in my mouth. Flakey glazed buttery melt in your mouth goodness! Mine and my family?s new go to spot. Also love that this is family owned!

Simple the best ! The wife take care of the front the husband take care of the kitchen ! They are local busines very focus on their customer and we go every Sunday and have the best time ever !

Awesome little donut shop! They have some very tasty, unique donuts, and you can?t go wrong with the croissant doughnut.

Cronuts are outstanding?literally amazing. I got a dozen donuts and they were all excellent, go and get some you will be happy you did

Amazing donuts! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to everyone I know. Quick service too.

Cronuts. That?s it. That?s the review. They are life changing. Are the other donuts good? Probably. I haven?t tried them. Because Cronuts. Also they have breakfast kolaches. My partner says they?re fantastic. I trust her but I haven?t had them myself. Why? Again, Cronuts. Seriously. Come here and have one.

I never thought I would be saying "Wow!" about a donut piece. Everything was absolutely incredible and wonderfully fresh. The cake donuts were so moist and soft, the traditional donuts had that almost crispy sweetness that just melt in your mouth. The cronuts and croissant special were unique and so fun. This place is absolutely worth going out of your way for. It's a bit of a drive for me, I even have to go past two other donut places, but it's totally worth it. Unique and exceptionally high quality off

The donuts were decent, but the customer service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed uninterested and a bit rude, which made the whole experience feel awkward. It?s hard to enjoy your treat when the atmosphere feels unfriendly. Definitely room for improvement in the service.

This place seriously has the best cake donuts I have ever had and those aren?t even my usual donuts. Will drive 30 mins to get these!

Best donuts in Denver. Both locations are consistent, and the owners and the people who work there are very friendly. I've not had any of their breakfast sandwiches, but it's clear they put heart into their donuts! Great value for the price.

Best donuts I have had since moving to Colorado 11 years ago!!

I've eaten a lot of donuts in my life but We Knead Donut has the best donuts I've ever eaten. Their Blueberry donut and Red Velvet donuts put all other donuts to shame. I don't enjoy eating donuts from King Soopers anymore because they can't compare to this place!

Donuts are fresh, or at least they always taste amazing idk, I don't bake them but they sure know how to!!! and SOOOOOOO GOOOOD. I love this place.

I just visited here for the first time and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I have had all year. I chatted with the owner for a little while and she was so sweet, knowledgeable, hard-working, and so kind. The donuts were INCREDIBLE (especially the Cronut) and the Kolache's tasted so fresh, warm, and delicious. Thank you!!

First time in and I have to say I?m very impressed. This place is awesome. The cronut was delicious and so light. The apple fritter was probably the best I?ve ever had.

We knead doughnuts is the BEST doughnut shop on the planet!! It is run by Danica and Tony and they are the most genuine people in the world. I recently had them cater my wedding in Evergreen and I can?t say enough amazing things about the experience. They made over 300 doughnuts and were punctual and pleasant the entire time! I?ll never forget this experience or recommend them enough!! The communication was top notch. Please use them for catering events or just stop in and visit you won?t regret it.

We've bought for BirthdayDays and just because. I can eat a couple dozen donut holes, so Yum! Haven't had a donut yet that I didn't love.

Absolutely fantastic donuts! A glazed donut is the gold standard for any donut shop. if you can?t do that right, then nothing on the menu is going to be good. let me tell you this place knocks them out of the park! A delicious yeast raised glazed donut that is light and fluffy with a fantastic glaze. That?s not too sweet or sticky. (personally, I love their glazed donut holes) all of the donuts on their menu are delicious! As a self proclaimed donut aficionado, I could not be more excited to have this place

The smores donut was sooo Good. Not overly sweet, with a great crunch topping. Donuts were perfect consistency, not too heavy but not too thin. Didnt leave a greasy feeling in my mouth like some shops do. 3 young folk were working up front and all of them were very polite and attentive. everyone was quickly helped, despite there being a line. Definitely a great place to get your classic donuts and some new ones!

These donuts are AMAZING! Great texture, flavor, and variety. I can't wait to come back with my kids. I only wish they had tables inside. My favorite was the maple raised. My son loved the Apple Fritter.

This place has crazy good donuts! Staff is always super friendly and quick to help, it's no wonder they sell out so quickly. Kolache selection is small, but who needs more than sausage, jalapeno, and cheese? Not this guy! And don't even get me started on the cronuts. Breakfast pastries will never be the same in this household

I chose two insanely delicious donuts and they tossed in four cronuts for me to try. Simply outrageous! Now this will be a weekly stop, but I had better take my running shoes to work off the calories at Clement Park!!

This place is good, but girl, I'm gonna be real for a second. We saw people telling us this place was the best thing since sliced bread, and my father-in-law saw so many videos hyping it up. It's good, so if you want something better than a grocery store doughnut or the taste of a Crough-nut, it's worth the trip. The staff was amiable. Their was a Prius driver in Jesus Sandles who had a mental breakdown because we princessed parked and he pulled up 10 seconds after we pulled into a ur spot and he flipped

My new favorite donut shop. Cronuts were perfectly crispy and not too sweet. Apple fritter was loaded with apple and then cooked to perfection. I did not try any cake donuts but they looked just as good as the yeast donuts

This place has the BEST donuts! They are fresh and delicious. I definitely recommend the cronuts and cronut holes. The service was great as well. They are so friendly. What a great way to start your day. We will definitely be back for more!

I?ve waited 35 years for a solid, independent donut shop in this part of town. I visited We Knead Donut three times before reviewing, because I thought it was too good to be true. But it lives up to the reviews: Ideal location, friendly people, and a wide variety of donuts that all taste amazing.

This place is so good. If you're looking for real donuts - not the premade garbage at places like Dunkin - this is the place to go. The kitchen/prep area is open behind the counter so you can see them making the donuts from scratch. It's so refreshing to have a place like this where you can get donuts the way they're supposed to be made. Right now I'm trying to prevent myself from devouring this entire apple fritter because it's just the right amount of flavor and texture. If you want to treat yourself wit

Absolutely wonderful! They were so kind, friendly, and patient with us as everyone took their time to pick out a donut (We came with a group of 10 seniors from our memory care community). Our folks loved it and agreed they were the best donuts they've ever had! (Even in their 85+ years of life experience ??)

Been eyeing this donut shop since April and now that they're open, super excited to try! First of all, you will be greeted from staff who come off as authentic and not forced. Amazing customer service, which is honestly astonishing where so so so many front line staff are beyond rude. Donuts: okay wow. I had the sugared, plain old fashioned and a strawberry coconut flake. So Good. Truly. The fried dough was so delicate and pillow-y. Incredible.

The Croissant special is my new favorite donut. Layers of flaky croissant with Nutella in the middle topped with house made cream and fresh fruit. Perfect texture and flavors without being too much donut. My kids all loved theirs as well. Our new favorite donut shop! Oh, and the owners are awesome!

Hands down the best donut that we have found. They are SO SOFT. We enjoyed them more than Lamar's and Voodoo. Absolutely will be back.

Incredibly tasty donuts. You can taste the freshness and the homemade goodness in each bite. I was waiting months for this location to open and I've been twice now and enjoyed my donuts both times. The glaze is delicious. The price is extremely affordable as well.

Had a craving for something sweet and discovered this gem of a place! Fantastic donuts and great service! Everything was delicious! A definite must-try if you?re in the area

My daughter and I get donuts here about twice a month, and we are never disappointed! My daughter loves to pick out her donuts, and the people here are so friendly and patient with her. The donuts are always so so good, my kids love the monster donuts!

We ordered custom donuts for my daughter's birthday party. My daughter got to speak with the shop owner and "design" her special treats. Everything was perfect at pickup and my girl was thrilled! Owner Danica is amazing and kind, and everything in her shop is mouth-watering

Try the Red Velvet! OMG delish! I just found this fun donut place and am blown away by the flavor, varieties, and the owners! If in Littleton, this is the place for a donut fix!!!!! Tell Danica- Danielle sent you!

I stopped in today to see if the donut shop had opened and it has! I enjoyed the croissant donut and a red velvet which were divine and I got my son a maple bacon. They had lots of other fun donuts for kids and they all look delicious.

Great donuts. My grandkids favorite place to go. Staff is friendly. Good doughnuts & wide variety. The donut holes are good too!

I LOVE their donuts! The staff is friendly, the donuts are delicious, and the store is clean! I will recommend them to everyone!! (I might even get them to cater for my wedding!)

Kolaches my beloved! Cute spot, cute doughnuts, great prices!

I placed a large order for the staff at the school I work at through Doordash. The driver for Doordash picked up the wrong order, and it was very wrong, not kinda wrong. When I called We Knead directly, the fixed it without hesitation. Not only did they replace the order with the correct one, they drove it over personally. I don't think I have ever experienced customer service like. I was a repeat customer, and after today, I won't go anywhere else for my donut treat.

This donut shop is above the rest! The donuts are very high quality and the service is even better. The owner, Danica, is so nice. Maple Bacon donuts and cronuts are my favorites.

I lived in Texas for a long time (but am a Colorado native!) and when we moved back, I missed kolaches a lot! I found this place and they have ?Texas style kolaches? and I was super skeptical because the bread has to be right. They nailed it. Maybe they have a little Czech grandma working in the back? Not sure but they are legit kolaches. The prices are good and the shop is cute and clean. The people working were patient and friendly. Love this place.

This is the best donut place in Denver! But.. if you aren't there before 10am on the weekends, most of their popular donuts are gone. Rise and shine for this place, it's worth it!

Maple bacon donut was very yummy sweeplt and salty

Theeee best place to get donuts! They have the friendliest staff, the freshest donuts that they make from scratch every morning and very cute decor inside the shop. It?s clean as a whistle inside and they also sell kolaches and breakfast sandwiches at a very good price!! It?s locally owned as well! Don?t miss trying the cronut by the way!

These are by far the best donuts I?ve ever eaten!! The only thing that comes close to these is an Amish bakery (IYKYK) back in Indiana that I always go to when I?m traveling. A+++

Decided to try this out for the first time. Donuts are really sweet. Selection and creativity were good. Prices were high in my opinion. Paid almost $30 for a dozen donuts.

Easily the best apple fritter I?ve ever had. Huge selection of donuts even at noon. I will certainly be back!

Such a yummy spot! Owners are fabulous (love supporting family-owned local businesses)and they have an awesome and large selection of freshly made donuts. Try the fruity pebble!

I haven?t been here in a minute cuz I?m a personal trainer and health professional and an addict and kronuts are just too good!!!!!! Do yourself a favor and send everyone here but like once a week. We need to practice moderation but if everyone in the world came here once a week they would be massively successful and we wouldn?t over do it. Otherwise imma have to go crush kronuts and kolaches constantly. Also if you don?t know what those words are, go try em and figure it out.

This place is great! Very nice people behind the counter, so helpful and genuine good service you don?t find many places anymore. Awesome donuts and sandwiches.

It was worth the wait. The donuts are great and the owners are friendly. I've already ordered 3 times in the week it's been open and I plan on a few more this week!

This place is incredible. The donuts are so light and airy. Like a maple flavored cloud. The kolaches are also delicious

I'd have to say this is up there with Mr. Donut and Lamar's. I didn't know what to expect walking in. Just wanted to take my little one grab a donut before school. Place is fantastic and love their apple fritter!

If you like donuts this is a must go!!! Fresh donuts and the pice is excellent. I definitely will be back.

Absolutely delicious!!!! I really like that you can choose your filling for the filled donuts. I will 100% be back for more.

The cronuts are on another level! I?m not surprised to see this place has perfect ratings, it?s legit! Definitely a family favorite now!

Best donuts in Littleton and it's not even close. We've had donuts and their kolaches and everything is delicious. Super friendly staff as well.

The workers are so nice and the environment is great. I am not joking these are the best donuts I?ve ever had. They also have boba so 10000000/10

Best doughnut we have had since moving here from Chicago 8 years ago! The service is wonderful and the price is right.

The cronuts are to die for, but everything we?ve tried have been fresh and delicious! We?re lucky to have this in the neighborhood.
