Apple Fritter / Cherry Burrito
Craig H.

Stopped by to just get a few donuts in the early afternoon on a Sunday. I'm a apple fritter nut, and always judge a donut shop based upon the fritter. So, I ordered one of those. I also like when a shop comes up with something out of the box...so, I ordered one of the cherry burritos. The Apple Fritter was perfect, nice crunch around the outside, great flavor and cake in the middle. The burrito was very tasty as well, pastry dough stuffed/folded like a burrito then fried and glazed. I have not tried the other donut shop in Carson, but, it will be hard to beat Carson Donuts.

4/8/2023 Out for a nice Saturday drive.. Finally made it when they were open..nice and full display of donuts.. Picked up the glazed twist and an interesting apple burrito.. Glazed twist was nice and fluffy, not too sweet.. Apple burrito was good to try but a tad to sweet. Glad to stop and will again in the future!

I wanted to grab something fun for breakfast & found this gem in the area I was in. Carson Donuts is hidden, but not dead. On an early Thursday morning (5-6am), there were constant customers. I can tell why! The doughnuts were delicious and the owner/worker was so kind. She greeted us, patiently waited while we browsed the variety of doughnuts since it was our first time, & boxed up our doughnuts nicely. The place is very small, but homey. On the walls are pictures of their kids and doughnuts, like a cute photoshop.

Amazing

EXEMPLARY TEAM! I can attest to this particular Smith's location having witnessed massive…read moreimprovements since I first started shopping here seven years ago, really deserves recognition. Maria, Marry, and Mimi are absolutely brilliant, courteous, and highly efficient. They have endured prolonged corporate restructuring, changes to the entire floor plan, loss of some of their best (RIP Trevis) and not reflected in any reviews. Their incredibly knowledgeable team operates with stellar performance that people completely take for granted, never mind a few peevish one-star reviews which bear no relation whatsoever to the professionalism benefiting the Carson community. These outstanding individuals assist hundreds of people every week and simply don't get enough credit for how much they have done right, making the difference nobody sees-- they are like front-end phantoms you might not even notice on a busy day- which seems to be every day! They have a working knowledge of every single product being sold, and where to find it. I have even been met at the register someone handing me the very product I couldn't even pronounce correctly to find that someone had gone out of their way to make sure I found what I needed and handed it to me while I was already in checkout! This is to set the review section straight, and you can ignore all peevish, resentful reviews bearing no reflection of what this great team has done to improve this location over the years!

Mimi, the cashier, has now TWICE treated me like crap. The first time her register wasn't working,…read moreshe said nothing and just went to another lane. I had all my groceries on the check out belt. She said NOTHING to me or the others in line. I had to put all back in my cart and move to another lane No apologies, nothing. I was very irritated but said nothing. Today I was in her lane again. I said something about the lack of plowing of snow in the city. She went on to say that I should move to Ca. because I probably loved Newsome. WTH. She doesn't know me or where I'm from. She has no personality, or manners, or professionalism. She is a cancer to an already substandard store. I'm 73 and it's hard enough to get out, but to have to deal with Mimi is a nightmare. I am sure I am not the first to report her. Not good, Smiths.

Not sure what people are raving about with this place. Everything looks and tastes like it came in…read morefrozen from a wholesaler and then just defrosted. We got a chocolate croissant (only decent thing I got, but don't compare it to an artisanal made croissant where it's a dark golden brown with flaky crispy buttery layers). Their "croissants" are more like anemic, soft, moist bread. Also, got a cheese Danish. Starbucks sells a better cheese Danish than this place. The Danish was dry and hard and the center filling looked like it was pre-made frozen and just placed on top of the Danish. Finally, the worst of the worst, I got a personal size dutch apple crumble pie. Now THIS looked like it was made from scratch and I had hopes for this one. However, I took a piece of the crumble topping and ate it. It had an unusual funny taste. Almost like it was made with lavender. Didn't taste quite right. Then, when I got back to my hotel, I really dug into it. It wasn't just the crumble that was off, but the entire pie tasted of rancid spoiled butter. I had to spit it out, it was horrible. I can't believe they would serve that. I don't know how old that thing was, but they need better quality control. The only people I could see giving this place 5 stars on the food, are locals. Tahoe is behind when it comes to quality high end artisanal pastries. I have yet to find a decent coffee shop. Their sign boasts "Voted Best in Tahoe", but you'll see that almost every spot here has the same sign, from ice cream shops to bakeries to whatever else because there's literally nothing here. If you're from a big city, don't come here. Service was pleasant. No complaints.
