    That's 4 of the 6 heavenly dessert at this wonderful unpretentious donut place
    Lin L.

    C'est délicieux! 10 stars, 6 fluffy, fresh indulgence I got at after work this 6am+ today. Oh my goodness, I'm transported to France this morning. Reminded me of my time in Paris, eating a pain au chocolat and a cup of Tilly coffee... 16th St Donuts version(can call it pain au chocolat, whichever term fancies you), is to die for! Bite full of rich croissant dough, buttery, and dark, a hint of salt, not so sweet chocolate, beautifully complex but just the perfect balance of ingredients. I love it! Oh, I forgot to take a picture before I ate it Before I continue my review into a novel, the 6 donuts were: pain au chocolat (of course), raspberry/cherry like danish, bear claw, apple fritter, maple old fashion and maple bar. I can't eat all 3 in one sitting (3 for my babe sharing calories is in), but the little bite of the apple fritter was two thumbs up. The danish has the same flaky buttery texture of the pain au chocolat, it's perfect too. Here's the other best thing- $13 for all 6. I would have paid more elsewhere. Thank you so much 16th St Donuts for these delicious finds! Hey go here early tomorrow, you won't regret it!

    Ham and Cheese Croissant

    Great little place to stop by for breakfast on the way out of downtown before hitting the 160. There's plenty of parking, the storefront is in a convenient location, and the staff are always friendly. I've noticed lots of repeat customers coming in, which gives it a real neighborhood feel that I really like inside the shop. I'm not a donut connoisseur by any means, but I've been here a few times and think it's a solid option. The donuts always taste fresh, and the donut holes are great. The ham and cheese croissant is especially good when you ask for it warmed up; it's huge with salty ham and gooey cheese. Today I needed a quick breakfast on the way to work and grabbed another ham and cheese croissant along with a raspberry jelly donut, which hit the spot. Overall, it's a solid donut shop: very affordable, great service, and consistently tasty. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area or heading out of downtown.

    We stopped by 16th Street Donuts and it wasn't busy, which made it easy to order and find a place to sit. I had an apple fritter, two cake donuts with the maple one being especially good, a chocolate donut with peanuts, a cinnamon donut, and a regular chocolate donut. Everything tasted fresh. My girlfriend got a coffee and she liked it. The prices were reasonable for a downtown spot. Overall, it was a nice and easy visit, and I'd come back again.

    Selection of donuts

    16th Street donuts is great! My husband and I often come in on Saturday mornings before he goes to work in the morning and we are greeted by the nicest man who make sure we get what we need. After going there consistently, he memorized our coffee and donut order, he is very nice. The selection of donuts is perfect. There's a little something for everyone. I like how simple this donut shop is with donuts and coffee. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. The ordering area is very clean and so is the display of donuts. I've seen this place get busy, but it runs smoothly. Customers get what they want and are out of the shop in a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend you check out 16 Street Donuts if you want good donuts and coffee!

    I'm 99% gluten free and rarely having sugars outside of fruit. That 1% is so I can maintain my humanity. Classic glazed- First bite- never fails- offers a welcome distraction by the fluffiness- my partner likes the jelly filled- and the maple bars. Best part, the service here is always so kind. The owners and today's service Man- all kind and regular folk. It's rare these days so I felt ppl should know. Get your sugars and sweets here- the coffee is solid as well. Do not come here for the ambiance!! You get in and out into your self provided ambiance and enjoy your sugars elsewhere.

    16th street donuts was amazing! Old school donut shop with your classic flavors! The lady that works there (may also be the owner) was so sweet! We got 3 donuts for less than $5.00! Can't beat it! I recommend going to Sun House coffee shop and then checking them out since they're right across the street!

    I haven't been to this donut shop in years, but my daughter was craving a doughnut, so we decided to stop by for breakfast. They had a good selection, the donuts were really tasty, and the customer service was friendly and welcoming. It was a nice little treat. Glad we made the stop!

    DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO GET COFFEE AT THE CAFE ACROSS THE STREET AFTERWARD. THEY WILL CALL A TOW TRUCK ON YOU EVEN IF YOU BUY DONUTS FROM THEM. They will tow you the second you step foot out of the door!! You 100% will get towed. They called a tow truck on me 2 minutes after buying my donuts and walking to the coffee shop next door - which is maybe 30 yards away. Lucky I saw the tow truck pull into the lot (because I literally just bought a donut 2 mins ago) and ran back to move my car. This is totally wrong and unprofessional because I just bought donuts from the business and it says customers can park there for 1 hour. I went back into the donut store to buy a homeless gentleman a donut and ask the owner why he tried to tow me and he said it's not a big deal and he's been in business for 25 years. The coffee shop seems to bring a ton of business to this block but DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE.

    Picking up the donuts!

    I ordered 3 sets of 5 dozen donuts in one week. 16th street donuts let me call in advance to place my orders while being so kind in the process. They were clean, timely, and the donuts were great! I got an apple fritter for myself and it was so great. Thank you!!

My eye was first drawn to the churro, I haven't been able to have one in years, I was so excited. It was everything I ever wanted in a churro. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and coated with cinnamon sugar. I could have polished off a dozen of them! The apple fritter was also on my must try list. I grew up loving apple fritters and since having to go GF, it is my most missed donut-adjacent treat. This one was smaller than a normal one, but that was fine because I could actually enjoy it without it being too big. Perfectly fluffy with apple pieces and spiced just right, it was delicious. The cruellers were nice and crispy on the outside and just sweet enough. Glazed with chocolate or regular icing, they are a perfect donut.

I love a crunch or different texture mixed in. She did mention that the Rocky Road tasted a bit off because of the lack of dairy and the texture was a bit unusual. The staff were polite and patient and the place didn't seem that crowded for a Thursday around dinner time. I suppose with Ginger Elizabeth's and Rick's Dessert Diner all on the same strip, there is a lot of competition for dessert places here. We were happy to try something new. Everything was fairly clean and there was plenty of bar seating as well as a few tables. I believe there were also tables outside.

However, after ordering we noticed the ramen wasn't on there. We asked the staff and they said the ramen maker wasn't working so that was disappointing. They were also out of something I ordered and they were able to refund me. The drinks and food took a bit to come out. The wonton and dumplings were ok, but the soup it came in was pretty good. The taro drink and mochi dog we got were good. Inside was very picturesque with a good amount of seating. The ramen wall was impressive and had a good selection. It served more for a decoration that day than for eating. But we loved the cute tree and floral wall. They also had some games for you to play with while waiting. Overall everything was ok but maybe we'll be back to give it another try.

For the mini donuts, you can choose toppings, which include original glaze, cinnamon, sugar, powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, caramel drizzle or Nutella. For each 4 donuts, you can choose a different topping. We came here on a sunny Saturday afternoon and ordered six mini donuts with chocolate drizzle and a Gunther's 50-50 freeze with ice cream. The donuts were fried and tasted delicious, especially with the added chocolate drizzle. For the 50-50 freeze with ice cream, we chose guava freeze, chocolate ice cream, and strawberry freeze. All of the flavors were so delicious! Perfect for a nice warm afternoon. The female worker that took our order was very friendly and gave good recommendations. The donuts came out extremely fast! I hadn't even finished ordering the ice cream and the donuts were already on the counter ready for me. The workers were also trying to catch a flying bee, and they ended up catching it. The 6 donuts were $5 and the large 50/50 freeze with ice cream was $8. They do charge a 3% fee if you use your credit card. Overall, great first experience at Mad Hatter Doughnuts.
