This doughnut place is truly a hidden gem. The flavors are amazing--each doughnut tastes fresh, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the variety and quality of their flavors. On top of that, the workers are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. It's the kind of spot you're happy to discover and keep coming back to. read more

My daughter loves the late nights you guys are open and the donuts are really good actually

The 4th star is only for the fact that they open at 10pm on Friday Night. Other than that 3 star donuts, the plain glazed was good and fluffy, but all the donuts were SWEET, it was a bit much for us , glad we only got 1/2 a dozen.staff was super nice , and it a cool vibe. Would definitely recommend the glazed . read more

Doughnuts are amazing. Glazed is a must. Chocolate is killer. When someone wants a doughnut this is the only place I'll take em. They gave great recommendations too. Love how you can see just about everything in the place too. Cute little place. read more

I'll start off by saying I'm not a Krispy Kreme type of doughnut guy. With that being said, one of my favorite donut places in Kitsap is by far the American donut makers! They are a good quality cakey style donut. Great variety of flavors and fairly priced! If you want or are craving a delicious donut, give them a try!! read more

If you like PB&J, try the PB&J donut. It's life changing! All the other donuts were delicious as well in our "American Dream" box.

If you're into mediocre, overpriced, old, stale, and tiny donuts lacking in flavor or freshness, served by workers who are put off by the slightest question, then this is absolutely the place for you. I came by several months ago. I'd asked a few questions about the donuts available because I was curious about flavors (of the "mystery donut" since I have allergies), and of the ingredients and fry shortening (same reason). The young lady behind the counter appeared in a hurry to move me along (one other person was waiting behind me). She then looked past me as I asked a question about the glaze and invited the other customer to make a selection. It was an off-putting experience, but I wasn't going to make a post because, frankly, I usually only post reviews of fine dining restaurants... no more so than I would waste my time reviewing a Taco Bell. But then, the owner decided to openly deride those of us on another social media platform questioning the quality of their products and service. She directly challenged me, by name, to try their donuts and *then* leave a review. Challenge accepted. Beware what you wish for. Here we go: I stopped by and got 3 donuts. A maple bar, a simple glazed yeast ring, and a blueberry cake donut with lemon frosting. First, the cake donut: If I'd eaten a box of baking soda, my mouth would be less dry than trying to eat that donut. It was cold. Not very fresh... outright stale, in fact. The exterior was crunchy, and not because it was well cooked. The cake disintegrated in my fingers as I tried to eat it. My guess is it was baked hours beforehand, given that she handed it to me from the display case and not from the racks behind the counter... so it had to be from way earlier in the day. Next, the glazed: Again, clearly not freshly made, but this one at least had a pillow texture... matching the expectation I would have of a simple donut. But it was tiny... thin, about 1/3 the thickness of a standard donut you get at Safeway. The glaze was... well... simple. Sugar and water glaze is kind of hard to screw up. Even then, the coverage was pretty inconsistent... one whole side had the glaze slough off into the bag. All-in-all, it's what I usually get at Safeway or Fred Meyer. And not something I'd pay $2.25 for. Finally, the maple bar: I save this for last because it's the thing the owner specifically called out as their signature item during our discussion on that other social media platform. The claim they make is "all our icing and frosting are made from scratch." She said the taste and quality difference would be clear. Guess what. It's a maple bar. I don't think I could have told the difference in a blind taste test between this and a grocery store donut. And besides that... it was TINY... see picture with a butter knife for scale. It is literally thinner than the butter knife blade! Again... $2.25 for a product that mimics grocery store donuts (sold for less than 1/2 that price and twice the size) so closely that you can't tell the difference. I gave the owner $7 for this experiment (and $0.65 to the state and county tax coffers). I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Most of all, I accepted the challenge the owner threw down. You may think me biased, but that's fine... try one for yourself. It isn't gourmet, and it isn't worth any $25/doz, that's for sure. read more

American Donut Makers - Maple bar thinner than a butter knife. Tiny. - Donuts Near Me - Bremerton, Washington

Tried these a couple months ago. Very good except my jelly donut didn't have jelly inside. The lady at the counter was so bubbly and sweet. Went again today and honestly I wasn't impressed. Customer service was lacking (different girl), the blueberry muffin donut was dry and topping was way too sweet. Mentioned my jelly donut not having jelly last time, tried one with and it was better without. It was dry and soggy at the same time. Not fluffy at all. And way too much sugar on top that made me choke several times... don't inhale while biting! And the price for these was just crazy compared to normal donut shops. Go elsewhere! read more

American Donut Makers - Soggy, flat, terrible - Donuts Near Me - Bremerton, Washington

Newest Doughnut Shop in Bremerton, (Applause for new business owners) Very Cool Remodel of what once once a Baskin-Robbins. I Got a variety of doughnuts mostly baked in the Cake Type doughnuts fashion, they were delicious. Sold out of some but I didn't get the till Noon. Pretty Standard pricing for today's economy. Why the "1st to review" would give them such a bad review after being open only 4 days is beyond me. Give the a chance, I say. My experience was very pleasant, Nice environment, Nice presentation, friendly workers and a good doughnut. I wish them much success, I will return. read more

Really fun selection of donuts with unique tasty flavors! The ladies who own this place are super nice and helpful as well. The prices were great , especially for the speciality flavors! read more

I tried the Coffee cake donut and it was delicious! The peanut butter jelly-filled donut was bomb! My fave out of the two. Both donuts were not as sweet as other local donut shops. Zarah was helpful and friendly. She offered a free cup of coffee for both of us, but we had coffee already. The only issue was I came for an apple fritter, but they did not have any. read more

They're never open on time and are hardly ever there. Everytime I go during the times they say they're open they're always closed

Went about 8am on a Sunday and there was no wait and it was full of doughnuts! I'm glad I didn't read reviews before trying it because it would've steered me away and those doughnuts were delicious!! We got 6 random ones but the glazed twist was my absolute favorite! Would absolutely recommend! read more

I absolutely never want to leave a bad review for a local business but because I left this good one when they first opened I feel like I have to update. Within maybe 6-8 months of opening the donuts started getting worse and worse..I do not know what happened but it's not worth it anymore. Every time I go I'm disappointed - they used to be well balanced in flavor and were always fresh and now they seem extremely sweet and old..and I've gone a bunch of times thinking I just caught them on a bad day, sadly not the case. read more

Yummy Doughnuts You can't go wrong getting your doughnut fix here, the staff are friendly and the 7th Inning Stretch (I believe it's called) it's super tasty. read more

This donut shop recently opened and offers a unique variety of tasty donut treats. Although I rated only a four, it is only because they don't have my personal favorite, old fashioned, especially the simple unglazed variety. What they do have is a wide selection of glazes, fillings, flavors, and creative touches that will keep you coming back for more. I enjoyed the cinnamon sugar, maple log, sour cream glazed, and a cinnamon roll type. For those who enjoy a straight cup of Joe with their donut they have complimentary cups with your order. I plan to go back again for some photos and of course more donuts. The place is super clean and service is quick and friendly. I did not explore the option much but I believe you can order online and there is a drive up window of sorts. If you need a donut stop here and give them a try. read more

American Donut makers is an amazing donut shop! I went in early to buy donuts for the office and it was quick and easy. I was even given two extra donuts in my dozen just for funsies which I was appreciative for. The donuts were amazing, fluffy, tasty and not over powered by the glaze. The store is so cute, very clean and the staff was so friendly! This will definitely be a regular stop for me! read more

American Donut Makers - Donuts Near Me - Bremerton, Washington

Inexplicably expensive donuts that are like "sugar with sugar on top" and not much actia; flavor. And what's this injecting them with nasty Jello instant pudding about? It's like if an eight year old dreamed they'd invented the perfect donut and hooboy were they not precocious. read more

When I first tried their donuts, I was so happy. They were fantastic. The bars looked homemade and were somewhere in between a cake and a raised donut. Now, however, they are pedestrian. Nothing special except the price. So sad. read more

I am all for supporting local businesses but not when the product being sold is extraordinaringly subpar. In this case, we have donuts being sold that not only appear to be homemade but the icing/glaze that is being used...simply sucks! I went to the establishment at 5:55 am thinking that I would indulge in a freshly-made donut. WRONG! The doughnut I ate exhibited no signs of being freshly made, even bordered on being categorized as stale. This is one customer that is not returning any time soon. read more

Save your time and money, go over to Manette and get some really good donuts! Here they have a worker outside taking your order before you get inside. Now I know why. I know it was only day 4 of being open but these guys need to go back to pastry school and learn how to make a donut! Wife and I ordered an apple fritter (which they were giving 2 to an order because they were making them small today), a blueberry lemon-glaze, a tiger tail and a sour cream old fashioned. The apple fritters were super dense, over spiced, way to much glaze on them and did I mention dense. Definitely not like a classic apple fritter we are all used to. Time For the blueberry lemon-glaze donut. Once again, super dense cake donut and the name says it all, 1 blueberry in a cake donut. Lemon glaze was the best part of it. The tiger tail donut seems like a half a twist donut and undercooked. Finally the old fashioned. Figured I couldn't go wrong with an old fashioned, I was wrong. Did not look like any old fashioned donut I have ever seen. Did I mention super dense previously? Waste of $10, we took 1 bite off of each donut and put them in the trash. Will definitely not be returning to this establishment. read more

I consider myself a donut connoisseur and a true fan to Chuck's in Renton, but I've had a change of heart through my stomach! These donuts are heaven in your mouth. Perfect fluffy dough and plenty of fixings. Did you know they pay their employees $25, are invested in the community and are a family owned business. It doesn't get much better than this! Don't wait, treat yourself!! read more

Great selection and well made. Love the hours open for late night. Friendly service with a smile and patience describing their goods.

My boss brought us a dozen donuts and I had one cake donut that had a strusel topping. The donut was super fluffy with great flavor and the icing/strusel topping went really well with it. read more

After considering that this place was new, and reading a review or two about waiting and giving them a chance, I waited several months for them to find their stride. After reading some more recent reviews, it seemed as though they had. I really am impressed with the effort they put into cleaning up this building on the outside. A hot pink building would generally annoy me, but the inner grump in me was vanquished by the fact they did an outstanding job and it is such an immense improvement over what was there before visually (not so much donut-wise though). If for nothing else, I'll enjoy this place for its look, but I'll never try it again. I got a half dozen donuts and paid north of $24. That is insane, especially for how completely mediocre to subpar all of the donuts were. $3.50 for a "specialty" donut that is essentially a fried Pillsbury biscuit...filled to overflowing with CHOCOLATE PUDDING, and smeared on top with peanut butter and bite-size Reece's cups. Something your great aunt Gurtie would make when you visited once every two years. Not a specialty donut, NOT gourmet donuts, and actually not enjoyable. I'm just going to say, in a world where Top Pot Donuts and Sluy's are VIABLE options for someone who is health conscious and doesn't eat donuts often, this place really needs to step up their donuts game. Plain and simple. Just not good donuts and the prices were so stupid. I tried 6 different donuts and all but one were filled with pudding. I IMPLORE anyone to ask anyone anywhere if they would consider chocolate or banana PUDDING a "specialty" donut filling. And the one donut that wasn't throwing up pudding from every hole could have very well come from Safeway I wouldn't have known the difference. I'm not a donut connoisseur, but I've had Top Pot and Sluy's, so I'm pretty sure I know what really good, affordable donuts are. There seems to be a trend lately of cute little businesses popping up with charming mid-century colors and designs, eye-pleasing "come try us out!" storefronts, and then serving mediocre, bland, home-made in the worse sense, low-quality crap. read more

I'm sorry but these were unfortunately the worse donuts I was hoping for a better review since it's so close hoping they improve for the price they are asking read more

Stopped by on a weekend night for their happy hour. I got to chatting with the owners who are so friendly and just lovely to encounter. I let them pick out a half dozen for me to take home, and I was not disappointed! The plain glazed donut is far from plain, it literally melts in your mouth. Ant the lemon blueberry! Just deliciously sweet and tart. Definitely will be back to fill my next sweet tooth. read more

Donuts have a strange slightly chemical taste. Not what im looking for in a donut. Ill stick with Larry & Kristi's.

Don't listen to the bad reviews. The bad reviews are from the couple days that they have a bad day. Everyday usually is amazing donuts! They are consistently good as well as kind workers. I will always recommend this place! Everyone has bad days and these people who reviewed them badly just came on a bad day. read more
