We Knead Donut-Westminster

Reviews Summary

The consensus is overwhelmingly positive, with most reviewers praising the croissant donuts (cronuts) as exceptional—flaky, buttery, and often highlighted as a must-try. Other favorites include kolaches, lemon-filled donuts, and pumpkin old-fashioned varieties. The staff is frequently described as friendly, often adding free donut holes to orders. While some note the location as odd or prices slightly high, the quality and freshness justify it for most. A few criticisms mention inconsistent flavors (e.g., blueberry overpowering other tastes) or underwhelming burritos, but these are rare. The shop is celebrated as a superior local alternative to chains, with great variety and service.

Customer Reviews

Donuts are always fresh! A great variety and an amazing staff! I drive from Aurora just to enjoy the food. Breakfast Burritos are on point as well!

Cute donut shop with a variety of donuts from your classics to the popular like the croissant donut (my fav). I?m so glad I finally gave them a try as I have another donut shop closer to my house but their prices have skyrocketed so this will be my new go to donut shop with good prices and service.

I absolutely love old fashioned (buttermilk or sour cream) donuts and theirs is fantastic! The cronut is so delicious but definitely rich and buttery (no complaints here). Their croissant sandwich is great even when you order through a delivery service. It does come cold but their microwave instructions are perfect and the sandwich still tastes warm and fresh. I would give five stars but some of the items I?ve ventured off trying have not been as great. I?m ok just ordering the above 3 from time to time!

We Knead Donuts has been our favorite donut shop since we moved to Westminster so we obviously had to order a ton of donuts for our wedding. Creating the order was so easy which is perfect when you?re getting 17 boxes! There were almost no donuts left by the end of the night so all of our guests clearly saw why we love it so much!

These are fantastic donuts. Light, not overly sweet, and they have some fancy looking ones with extra stuff that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Less that $5 for a regular donut with sprinkles and a fancy one doesn't seem ridiculous. A good deal in today's world.

Pretty decent donut shop. The classic glazed was light and had a little bit of a chew which was nice. They also had a glazed croissant donut. Now, THAT was delicious. I wish I just got a couple of those. If they are normally prepared, I highly recommend giving that a try. It's sweet and flakey on the outside and chewy on the inside like a donut. Fabulous. I do appreciate they allow you to fill your own donut. Seems less wasteful.

Highly recommend!! The croissant donuts are so flaky and the perfect amount of sweet! The chocolate twist is huge and the chocolate isn?t overly rich! The prices were reasonable and the location has a lot of parking. The staff were quick, kind, and even threw in some donut holes :)

I don't usually like glazed donuts but I tried a bite of my sons and WOW... its just a touch of sweetness vs being sickening sweet like most places are. What a great donut! Love that they have kolaches too (I'm from TX & kolaches aren't as prevalent here in CO).

We had been waiting for this place to open since we saw the sign every time we drive by and we have come 3 times since ! Their crossiant donuts are da bomb! They have some yummy speciality donuts like the Strawberry Bomb one with strawberries on top and cream filled goodness! So fresh! It?s the same lady and gentlemen behind the counter everytime i come and they are always so sweet! Definitely a favorite donut place of ours!!

Fantastic hidden gem! Delicious donuts, great variety and the only donut place that also has KOLACHES! I?ll be bringing my kids back for some of their cartoon character donuts

Great donuts, freshly made. Really love the variety and the croissant donut is delicious. Love their donut holes. The breakfast burrito was also surprisingly delicious

Well this might be a problem, @weknead_donuts recently opened near my place and on the way to work. The cronuts [croissant donuts] and Bavarian cream filled long Johns are so far my favorites. But everything I?ve had has been really good.

Amazing donut shop! Super fresh and soft. They have Cronuts!!! Omgosh they're delicious. If you get there early enough, they have Special Cronuts. They cut them down the middle and put Nutella inside(not finished yet), then they put fresh Whipped cream( not sweeted) with Sliced Strawberries! My waistline isn't happy, but my mouth is excited just talking about them! I highly recommend this place. Super friendly staff. I'll see you soon! Update!!! Still delicious ??. Just thankful to have a great donut plac

This place is so dang delicious. Their croissant donut is WAY BETTER than the original Dominique Ansel cronut. Their breakfast burritos are top tier and their staff is incredibly friendly.

Amazing texture and look, however for the price I would not expect every single donut to taste like blueberry. Chocolate = blueberry a hint of chocolate Cro-nut= a fluffy airy blueberry donut Raspberry filled= blueberry donut with a hint of Raspberry. Disappointment for everyone!!

Great experience with me and my girls. If you?ve never tried a ?Cronut? that?s right you read correctly, but please try it with or without fruit. I only gave it a 3 stars because I thought the experience on line would be the same. Nice people tho

After getting a notification from Yelp that there was a new donut shop in the area, we knew we had to try it. I am so glad we did! The donuts were so fresh. The apple fritter was amazing and the croissant donuts (cronuts) are excellent!! Service was great. The owners are so kind. I'm glad we have a new, family owned donut shop in the area.

Found this doughnut shop looking to try some thing new. Fantastic tasting doughnuts! I really like the croissant doughnut, red velvet, and of course? the minion. Most definitely worth the visit!

A quaint little donut shop in the North Metro area. The main attraction for me is the Long Johns/Rounds that they will fill with cream right there for you; the Bavarian cream is decadent. They also make an intimidating apple fritter that will certainly leave most filled until lunch!

Very cute little donut shop! They had a fantastic selection with a lot of variety and some very fun options for kiddos. I bought a random assortment of donuts and specifically got the "Maple bacon" one for me. They were delish! Couldn't recommend more.

Absolutely adore the family that runs this place! The croissant donuts and bites are the best I've had! They fill the cream and jelly donuts to order. My son always loves the few free donut holes in every order also! If you haven't tried them, make sure you so by soon but don't me like me and show up on a Monday when they're closed!

This Donut shop just opened and they have done a really good job in renovating the place. Modern and colourful. The donuts vary from traditional glazed raised and cake donuts to the creative candy or cereal covered donuts. I had their cronut, and WOW! It was still warm and the layering was beautiful. I also had their blueberry cake donut and again wow! Light but satisfying and beautifully formed. They are all good sized donuts. Think bigger than dunkin or krispy kream. Nice family run place, everybody has a

Omg just found this place n I love it !!! Burrito so big I had for lunch too!!!

Ate donuts with my husband before hiking Chautauqua Park in Boulder. Order the cronut which is a croissant and donut hybrid. Crisp yet it melts in your mouth.

Just wanted to update since my first review and say I've been coming with my fiance and her family for the last two years and it's always been great!

These are some of the best donuts we've ever had! Very light and fluffy, not too sweet, mmmmmmm chefs kiss. :) We also had a breakfast sandwich, a jalape?o kolache, and a whipped coffee and nothing was disappointing. The double chocolate donut strawberry bomb were our favorites.

My family loves donuts for a special treat and we?ve tried tons of donut shops across Colorado. This place is our favorite, hands down. The croissant donuts are the best donuts I have ever had- every form they come in. Plus, the kids love customizing their filled long johns. Seriously, this place is phenomenal!

Holy breakfast burrito! This is the best bacon breakfast burrito that I have found for less than $10 in Denver. Highly recommend

If you have never heard of a Cronut (Croissant-Donut) it's time you tried. This place has great quality!

The croissant donuts are the best donuts I?ve ever had. No joke they are a must.

Best breakfast burrito!!! We stopped by unplanned to get some breakfast so we wouldn?t go out of our way and boy am I glad. My boys got a croissant sausage & egg sandwich and they also raved about how delicious it was. Can?t wait to try their donuts! Speedy service, friendly staff ?????? definitely recommend, you?ll not regret.

The donuts here are seriously amazing, and I wasn?t really expecting that. It?s in a bit of a weird and off-putting location, but it?s worth the hassle. The croissant donut has an amazing taste/texture combo and ended up being our favorite of the half-dozen. The burritos, however, were absolutely awful. Obviously frozen and extremely expensive for what they are. Employees weren?t super warm and friendly either which ultimately put us off.

I am not a donut person but I took my daughter here and I have to say yummy! They also give you complimentary donut holes with your order.

Amazing donuts and for filled donuts you can choose your filling! 10/10 donuts

Goodness I Love donuts! This place is great. Service was nice, selection was good, they fill your filled donuts right there when you order. The cronuts are amazing. Will definitely come here when we vist

I went to today and it was super delicious. We had the donuts and the kids were super happy about it. We also had the burrito they were warm and really good. They make them on the spot so it?s nice ????

Donuts are very delicious. Ordered the croissant special and chocolate glaze wiry almonds. The lady taking our order was very sweet.

I was having a suuuper bad day when I came here but the donuts cheered me up. plus they included lil munchkins which was also very nice

I cannot believe we have never tried this place before today! DELICIOUS donuts, and it appears to be family owned which I love even more. This place is going to be a regular treat stop for us! And honestly the only reason I didn?t give stars for atmosphere was simply because I was so blinded by donuts that I don?t even remember what the rest of the place was like. ??

Donuts fluffy and soft. All the one?s I choose were amazing. The cherry on top is being able to choose your filling for donuts that can. The breakfast burrito, absolutely to die for. It just needed a little spice, but otherwise unmatched at its price point of 6.99 (includes choice of meat).

This place is so cute! So many donut selections. The croissant donuts are superb!

These donuts where so amazing. Nice that they are conviently nearby. Decent price. Can't wait to come back.

Love the cronuts! The kids like the monster donuts, too. Great to have a local owned donut shop. Always great service.

The croissant donuts are amazing! They often throw in a couple extra donut holes which always makes us smile. The boys love the creative candy topped donuts and they?re never over the top. A fun treat!

The strawberry cream puff thing knocked me off my socks!! Also have been craving a kolache for ages, the jalape?o cheddar was phenomenal. This place has amazing food, highly recommend checking them out!!

We got a dozen items at $40 and I added 20% on top. The server pushed the box across the counter and walked away. The establishment was empty. I was their only customer. I said this is generally when you would say thank you. You?d think they would say Thanks for the business and thanks for the tip. And he replied ?I should thank you?? Amazing how they are so ungrateful and disrespectful towards locals that don?t go to the chain restaurants that are available. Who is the owner? Who is in charge? Who cares

Generally appreciate this place. VERY good donuts and donut holes. The breakfast burritos are a bit oniony for my preferences. The kolaches taste good, but might be an issue for folks, like myself, a little picky about how meat looks - it looks a bit offputting. The one thing that really bothers me about this place, and I feel bad saying this because the service from everyone here is otherwise excellent - I'm always a bit uncomfortable by the way the main male server stares very intensely at you while you

Ok, I'm not a real donut lover except a certon kk chain, but the croissant donuts are freaking amazing. The other ones I tried are good as well but OMG CROISSANT donuts. ????. We have also had their Breakfast burritos, very good. Big, well worth the price.

Found out about We Knead Donut through a coworker and since then it's become our family's favorite local donut shop. Amazing donuts every time we come back!

Always quick. Great donuts. My donut place in North metro.

Love to treat my kids to donuts every now and then. Happened to stumble upon this lovely place! Kids were SO excited, as was I. Great tasting donuts. If you want a filled one they do it on the spot and you pick your filling. Great coffee too. Only downside is no tables to sit at, so take it to go.

Such a fantastic, local donut shop. We recently discovered this shop as they are new and were not disappointed. We live within walking distance to a chain donut shop, and this place offers a better, chewier texture which I fully enjoy. As others said, the prices were reasonable and the selection was great. Though I opted not to have a filled donut this time, they can fill the donut in the spot. I love the choice and option versus being forced to have a filled donut. I'll be back for the friendly staff and

This is a great little donut place, much better than the large chains. The donuts are super tasty. It is the only place we have found in the area with kolache's. And to top it all off, the employee are incredibly friendly and accommodating. My only problem is that they aren't closer to my home, but I guess that is better for my waist -line anyway.

Loved the vibe of this place. The donuts in this place are amazing. They could work on the coffee aspect have more choices for a coffee bar.

Honestly the best breakfast burritos I?ve ever had. The donuts are unreal too. The staff is super nice. Some of the best breakfast food around.

First timer and let me tell you, these donuts are amazing! New favorite is the croissant donut! A must try!

Best damn donuts I've had in years. We got a mixture of just about everything. The old fashioned one of the best I've ever had. The jelly filled, you can choose between numerous fillings and they are great. They weren't greasy at all, and no funky after taste. They are just what a donut should be. Dangerous.

Finally came and tried this place, the gentleman that help me seem to be not interested in greeting me until I said hello to him while he sat there and stared at me. I was under the impression that somebody else who was waiting for their food was still in line, and from that point, unfortunately, the gentleman seemed to almost had attitude while getting donuts, which is the last thing you want when you?re ordering donuts, as far as the taste of the donuts, they tasted like anywhere else but for a dozen it w

Woke up on a Sunday morning with a craving for donuts and I'm so glad we ended up here! The pumpkin and maple donuts were both insanely delicious, and the kolaches were also tasty. Everyone was so friendly and they even threw in some donut holes for making us "wait" (in a very reasonable weekend morning donut line). We will definitely be back - gotta try the many different filled donut options!

Wow this place is amazing! Their croissant is to die for, so flaky with a delicious whipped topping and fruit and some chocolate inside. Perfection! I?m so glad a tasty local donut shop opened. This area desperately needed one.

So happy to have found this donut shop! A must if you are tired of the regular old donuts from these franchises! #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness

By far the best donuts anywhere in the area! I?m so glad they opened! Their cronuts (croissant donuts) are amazing! And they have other unique and delicious donut flavors! They?ve become a household favorite and weekend routine!! ??

The donuts are perfect! My favs are the croissant donuts and lemon filled l. I love the kolaches and the burritos are BIG. I love this place and try to come once a week. The staff is very friendly too.

Every single old fashioned donut is amazing! The maple vanilla and salted caramel especially! They are always so sweet and kind and gave my kids free samples. Best donut place in town!

This will be our new go to donut shop! So fresh and delicious! My husband said the Bavarian cream filled one was the best he?s ever had! I liked the glazed croissant but I?m sure they are all good! Cute little family owned shop, which is the best!

Went on a Sunday morning and it was so good! They were out of the cronuts, but they had the cronut bites, so we got a 1/2 dozen of those and they were delicious! We also got the cinnamon roll, chocolate sprinkle, blueberry cake, and maple bacon. All were very good, with the exception of the bacon on the maple donut - just a little chewy but that?s kind of the norm for cold bacon I suppose. They also threw some munchkins in the box, which was a nice surprise! Only con is they are right down the street from w

Best donuts I?ve had in Colorado hands down. I?m a big Krispy Kreme fan too but these are better! The croissant donuts are my favorite they are so addicting. Cinnamon roll is delicious too. They even threw in a few donut holes with my box. Will definitely be going there again!

Great place for donuts! Awesome to see more donut places popping up here in the north Metro area. Their go-to here are the croissant donuts which are amazing! It's great out-of-the box thinking on this one! I typically get a Boston Cr?me Pie since they are slightly larger and better filled than the nearby competitors. They also have a specialty donut that is a MUST try...I won't give out the details here, you'll have to go there for yourself and try it! Only con is that (as every other place) the pric

I was driving by one morning and had to stop - and I?m sure glad I did! I?ve been back multiple times to take donuts to my coworkers and everyone just LOVES them. Great variety, moist, and great customer service. If you?re in this area - you won?t be disappointed!

These folks are doing it RIGHT! We were greeted as soon as we came in, everyone was smiling, cheerful and friendly :) Then the donuts, they must have been kissed by baby cherubs on their journey from soft dough to frosted bites of heaven. Their twists were light, airy, and not overly sweet. Their apple oldfashi9ned tasted like it came from a granny's kitchen, so well flavored and fragrant! Will definitely be back to try more of their menu, thank you so much for such a lovely start to the day We Knead Donuts

Best and I mean best donuts I've ever had. Got 3 of the cross ain't donuts and I will be back again. And again. Don't skip this place! This is a must have daily donut shop people! Also super cute decor and friendly staff so like I'd give more stars if I could

Just popped in this morning and grabbed two donuts. The store has a really nice, new, clean layout. The staff were all super nice. Great prices and they hooked me up. Most importantly the donuts were great. Hope more people discover this spot.

Came in on vacation and had to have our coffee and donuts. Lots of varieties all yummy, but none are better than the croissant donut. It's the bomb diggity. Friendly staff!

My favorite place to get donuts! Ove coming here!

Fantastic donuts, especially the croissant donut Wow and dont forget a koliche (delicious) you will also enjoy the donut holes they add to your bag. A bit pricey but worth it.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Hands down the best place around! Phenomenal family owned business and high quality donuts! Definitely stop by and say hello. You will not be disappointed :)

Go to get donuts this morning. Somehow only in Colorado is a donut shop closed on a Saturday morning. Plus a sign saying they are closed for cleaning but absolutely no one their cleaning.

My spouse and I stopped by early on a weekend morning and were delighted by the array of donuts on offer here. We got a half-dozen with cronuts, pumpkin old-fashioned donuts and buttermilk old fashioned donuts. The cronuts alone fueled us through our hike and the rest kept nicely for breakfast the next day! My spouse loved how the cronuts were crisp on the outside and buttery on the inside. My favorite were the pumpkin donuts: The craggy exterior captured plenty of glaze and the warm spice blend offset the

I really enjoyed the donuts we tried today! Great flavor, texture & fresh! Bonus the staff were super sweet as well. Highly recommend this place!

I have several tree nut allergies and they let me know which donuts have that and which do not and took great care of making sure no cross contaminated donuts went into my box. They were super friendly, happy to answer any question gave us extra donuts holes for free. These donuts are better than Krispy Kreme! My new addiction!

I?m a ?doughnut connoisseur? LOL and these are some of the best I?ve ever had. They?re very flavorful and not too greasy. Don?t get me wrong, I love a voodoo doughnut, but these were the perfect balance. Tried the croughnut, maple, apple fritter, sprinkle and filled- all delicious!

Stopped in here for the first time yesterday and everything we had was delicious! The best by far was the cronut, with the special cronut (Nutella!) and the Chocolate with Bavarian Creme tied for a close second. We will definitely be back.

Awesome donut shop. Their kids donuts are also super cute

Such a nice, friendly staff and the pumpkin donut was so good! They even threw in a couple donut holes for me. Really was one of the best donuts I?ve ever had!

Not sure if they taste good bc the service was so poor I walked out. I was standing there 5 minutes with just 1 other couple ordering 1 box at the counter- 4 ppl behind the counter and one guy who kept looking at me then looking away. No acknowledgement that I was there or waiting or anything. I left, ordered 2 things at the bakery next door, paid, and I swear just when I was leaving that couple was walking out of the donut shop. ??

Literally the best donuts I?ve have out in Colorado! Their breakfast burritos are also really good I would definitely recommend!!

The donuts were fantastic and the staff were very friendly. They gave us free donut holes because we had to wait for two customers ahead of us in line. So thoughtful!

I used to go to Holey Donut they closed, also like OMG in Arvada too far ans Marty's donuts Peoria/I-70 too far We Knead has the GREAT variety, taste, freshness, and very nice staff. Make this your go to. Better donuts than anyone around our area by far
