Customer Reviews

I highly recommend stopping by the Lakewood Winchell?s! Winchell?s is an oven fresh Donut shop, if you are looking for a yummy dessert & are a fan of freshly baked donuts; this is a must try! They serve breakfast sandwich?s, hot/cold beverages, myriad dessert options, & plenty of smiles :)! I suggest checking this bakery out, it?s a great place to stop by, bring a friend, family member, colleague, or spouse! Reasonably priced, quality is 5 stars, & the service is impeccable! Thank you Eyob for opening a sta

Wow this is my new favorite donut shop! Delicious and beautiful donuts, all the flavors u can think of .... love them ??

Though I?m sure they?ll be a few who disagree with me, however, the gentleman who assisted me today was very kind. Very nice. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice. It was very clean, but the donuts left a lot to be desired. The lemon fielded, powdered donuts are only powdered on top. The lemon filling looked more like hair, Health, sticky and gooey, and only smelled like lemon. The glazed donuts were more like glazed. A pound cake. You could really taste the east in the dough, the chocolate covere

The biggest and best apple fritter I've ever had. ?? ?? Be sure to request your favored ratio of cream to iced coffee. Mine was like coffee flavored milk.

If I could leave 100 stars, I would the customer service here is phenomenal. The food is great. The coffee is excellent really good. I love this place my new spot for coffee and Delicious donuts!

This new location is amazing! The owner is so kind and always goes above and beyond for the customers. Donuts are always fresh!

As soon as I walked in the person working was on his phone as I proceeded to order he obviously didn't pay any attention to what I wanted becauseit was wrong. Then proceeded to make my payment and wasn't even knowledge as I left even after I took initiative to say thank you and have a good day. Very poor service and will be the last time I come in. It's funny how he can drive a brand new car but can't have customer service hopefully your business last.

I don?t think the donuts at this location (Colfax) were fresh because they were a bit cold and not nearly as soft as the donuts at the other location (Wheatridge). Purchased around 9AM. Guy working the counter was very nice though.

By far the best Winchell?s I have been to! Nice clean shop and friendly service. I will go out of my way to make it back to this specific location if I?m looking for donuts.

The store was clean, the employee was polite, but the shelves were empty. THIS PLACE HAD NO DONUTS AT 10:30 AM ON A FRIDAY. I'll go the Winchell's at 44th and Kipling from now on.

Donuts very good, affordable, and large
