I was waiting for Zia Records to open in this plaza when I noticed Lucky Donuts in the corner and I just had to come in and get a couple for breakfast. This shop is simple enough where you enter, see a ton of donuts, a case full of drinks, and some other random stuff, but mostly I'm just here for the donuts. The employee working was super freaking friendly and ended up giving me a free donut because I had to wait for literally one minute for her to come up, which is 100% absolutely not a problem at all, but it was super sweet of her anyway. I ended up ordering a glaze crawler and a chocolate frosted donut as well, and I think the free one was maple glazed if I'm not mistaken. All three of the donuts were top notch delicious and I can't think of a single non positive thing to say. Overall, Lucky Donuts might just be a standard donut shop, but top notch service and delicious donuts make this place something special. Hungry? Lucky Donuts got you.

These aren't your typical donuts; they have a great variety of specialty flavors. I tried the strawberry shortcake and Bavarian cream and both were delicious. Daniel (owner or employee) was super friendly and helpful when I asked about the fillings. Only downside is parking can be a little crazy on weekends, but it's definitely worth a quick stop if you're in the mood for great donuts and coffee.

First time I…read morehad it 5 stars, that pesto is so flavorful I thought there was meat on it (mind you I'm a pescatarian, so I was scared for a minute) Second time, the ciabatta was fighting me back (chewy like it had beef with me), so 4 stars. But flavor..still slaps. Third time is a charm....back to 5 stats! Now, about the doughnuts! They're fluffy, they're pretty, they come dressed to impress. But the toppings! Whew, sweet on sweet on sweet. And this is coming from me, someone who never says no to sugar. If my sweet tooth is waving the white flag, you know it's serious.

They were just average…read more The turtle donut looked fabulous, but had very little caramel flavour in the topping The lemon was more artificial than real lemon flavour The coconut donut was the winner. The flavour came through with no artificial aftertaste. The double chocolate was not a chocolate donut. My bad for not reading the product description.

Very delicious! We also ordered some regular donuts (my favorite was the blueberry fritter) and they were so delicious as well! We also ordered a gluten-free everything bagel sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese and a sesame seed regular bagel sandwich with maple, sausage, egg and cheese, and both were amazing! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. Da Boss is an amazing friendly woman who helped make our experience at Sesame Donut excellent. 10/10 will visit again when we visit the Tempe area again!

For it being later in the afternoon, I was actually surprised by how many donut options they still had, pretty much the full lineup! The shop itself looked clean and well-kept, which is always a good start. The employee behind the counter was a bit standoffish, not rude or anything, just not super warm. but hey, maybe it was a long day, so I didn't take it personally. I picked up an assorted half dozen to try a little bit of everything. That's where things got a little mixed. About half the donuts were great, soft, fresh, and hit that perfect sweet spot. The other half? Pretty dry and tasted a bit like leftovers from the day before (or maybe even the day before that). So, I'm on the fence. If I come back, I'll probably stick with the classics instead of the "fun" or seasonal ones, and maybe swing by earlier in the morning when everything's freshly made. I wouldn't cross this place off completely. Just might need to catch them at their best time of day.

Stopped in while visiting Phoenix and was pleasantly surprised. I tried several mochi donut…read moreflavors, including Gojuchang, Vietnamese coffee, almond joy, Ube, churro, blackberry sesame seed. Each one was fresh, chewy, and packed with great flavor without being overly sweet. The texture was exactly what I was hoping for, and the variety made it hard to choose a favorite. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the shop was clean and inviting. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. I would gladly stop by again on my next visit to Phoenix and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a distinctive and memorable treat

I love mochi donuts! I wish more places made them cuz they are my favorite type of fried dough. We…read morewere next door getting boba and I wanted to pop in and see what flavors they had. We had the place to ourselves and I perused their display case. They had some interesting flavors and I only wanted 3, but their menu prices reflected 6 or 12 ($18 and $30 respectively). I asked if 3 would be $9, and the employee said yes. I chose their ube, Vietnamese coffee, and black sesame with raspberry. Other flavors included gochujang caramel, almond joy, churro, and blueberry crumble. It was hard choosing flavors cuz they all sounded great. I was rung up for 3 single donuts ($3.50 ea) and asked if that was correct. The employee said yes, as only the half dozen and dozen are discounted. I was tempted to get another 3 donuts but decided against it. We sampled the donuts after finishing our early dinner and the texture was spot on: light, chewy, and delicious. They're so fun and easy to eat too; you can pick off the balls and share them (if you want). Each of the toppings should differentiate the tastes, since the donut base is the same, but honestly none of them had strong flavors which was disappointing. The black sesame seeds did were the most flavorful, but not all of the balls had the seeds on them. Since I enjoy these donuts so much, I'd come back again, although not too often due to the price point.

We had got the Randy's Rounds (basically their donut holes). All tasted really fresh from the maple glazed to M&M topped. These are more yeasted/raised type donuts rather than cake-y donuts. So, if that's your jam, Randy's is a good affordable option.

Everyone here is so kind and helpful - plus there's a mural to draw on! The owner is in from time to time with his daughter, otherwise it's often a team of sweet ladies (who also seem to be family) and local teens. They offer several specialty flavors, as well as traditional and choose-your-own. My go-to is maple with Nutella drizzle, but right now they're doing a Pumpkin Spice Powdered Sugar with Carmel Drizzle and pecan pieces. It's really good! The pumpkin spice is mixed into the powder sugar, so it's a nice and mild pumpkin flavor on a very sweet treat! This is a great spot for kids and families! PS: Right now if you go in costume you get a free Halloween donut.

Ethan (I think that was his name) was amazing with customer service, he explained everything about the process, answered all my questions and was so helpful with everything! The first time I actually felt like i wanted to give a tip, not forced to give a tip like everywhere does now. This guy works hard and does it with a smile, I was impressed. It's been awhile since I have had a good customer service experience like this- it was refreshing. My daughter got the cereal killer donut and I got an iced Carmel machiatto- made well (it was just the perfect amount of sweet with sugar free syrup options too!). Inside is super colorful and the menu has super clear photos so you know what you are ordering. My daughter loved the wall because she got to color while we were waiting for my coffee. They let visitors color on the wall every month, then take a photo, and then wipe it off so it's fresh for the next month's customers. Overall, great experience and the donut was delicious' we also got to sample the ice cream apple pie (I will totally be back for this).

I recently tried Creampuff and had a good overall experience. We ordered the churro donut and the…read morecrème brûlée donut. The churro was solid--I'd rate it a 7/10, with a nice cinnamon sugar flavor. The crème brûlée donut was definitely the standout for me, I'd give it a 9/10. It had great flavor and was the better of the two. The girl at the front was very helpful and took the time to explain the different options, which I really appreciated. The inside of the shop is also really spacious, which I loved. it makes it a nice place to sit and hang out. That said, the overall quality was good but not amazing, and I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back. One downside was the parking situation, it's pretty tight out front and the curb is really high. I actually scraped the bottom of my car door when opening it, which was frustrating. Overall, a good place to try, especially for the crème brûlée donut, but just be careful with parking.

It blew me away and left me craving some more. Overall, I had a good experience at King Donuts AZ and wouldn't be mad if this was my local shop.
