    We all have our donut opinions. I will say, these are not my favorite but they are a good option for a donut on the lighter, airy side. We tried the yeast style and then I went back for a cake style because I wasn't quite satisfied. I actually liked the flavor of the cake style donut...it packed more of a punch. We decided that the yeast style should be judged individually by flavor because some hit right and others flopped. Some flavors lacked flavor and the donut itself is so light, it needs the substance of the topping to make it special. The cinnamon crunch and coconut were our favorites. Strawberry and peanut butter cup were underwhelming somehow. And I liked the cake style (not pictured) best. I guess we would choose City Donuts when we wanted a light donut that you could eat many of, vs some of the other specialty donuts that one is plenty because they are dense or topping heavy. We are not local to the area so location didn't mean anything to us when we googled it. Lacking ambiance and not the prettiest area but a good grab and go option.

    Came on an early Monday morning to a full display rack. I was pretty disappointed to find out that the blueberry cake donut is not available on Mondays. For buying so early in the day (around 7am), I expected them to taste more fresh. It almost seemed like they were from the previous day. The frosted donuts were overly sweet, and the cake donut was very dry. The shop was very empty when went. Quite disappointed overall.

    Stopped by City Donuts while visiting Colorado. We went later in the morning so the donut choices were a little picked over but they still had a lot options overall. The options were simple and classic, nothing wild. I ended up getting a plain ole sprinkled donut. It tasted pretty fresh. We decided to dine in (to avoid getting crumbs and mess in our rental car) and it was a bit of a mess. There were more napkins on the floor than the napkin holder. The floor was sticky, had liquid spills and food/crumbs all over. They have 4 or so booths to sit at, they were all messy. I noticed that they only had one person out working the floor (serving donuts) and I understand she could not control/do everything but the dirtiness of the shop made me a little uncomfortable. The woman working there seemed busy behind the corner, wasn't very friendly BUT if I was the only one working and had to do everything, I'd be a little stressed and overwhelmed myself so I get it! The bathroom was also "out of order". So my tip would be, get your donut and go! They have a few designated parking spots in a little lot from what I could see.

    Landed in Denver and needed a sugar fix! This place was great and you could smell the fresh donuts as soon as you park the car.

    I asked Siri where the best donuts in Denver were, but I think she was a little confused. Nice people though.

    Donuts are good. I wish they had a little more selection. The coffee definitely needs some work. But for the price it's fair.

    Our annual Denver donut stop led us to We Knead Donuts this year, and what a happy surprise!…read more While you may see more than one, each is independently family owned and operated. The owner was on site today making breakfast sandwiches and burritos and his son was manning the donut counter and register. Both were so friendly and accommodating and when the son found out it was our first time, he generously shared some bite sized cronuts with us because that's one of their specialities. A great bite of fluffy, flaky and sweet croissant/donut hybrid. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich on one of their croissants... grilled to perfection with crispy edges and melty cheese, so buttery and delicious. They also have yeast and cake style donuts as well as cinnamon rolls, fritters, kolaches and donut holes. (We got there after a busy morning so go early if you want the full selection of options) Yeast donuts were so light, it was amazing how airy and fluffy they were, not overly sweet which I appreciated. My favorite was the cake donut, it was so light and buttery had that perfect "crispy" outside with a great chew inside. And this will sound weird but every bite was better and by the end it had an almost creaminess. I wished I had ordered more of those. Great donuts, breakfast sandwiches and stellar service, go check them out!

Service is usually quick and easy, though on my last visit I noticed that the employee who helped me committed a mistake.

Maybe he was just surprised that someone actually paid in cash, who knows, but it's still something that should not have happened. Otherwise though, it's a pretty average donut shop. This is a big chain from Texas that only has the one location in Denver, but I don't see them being in any hurry to expand, so I guess it will stay a niche thing for those from Texas. There are actually several other donut shops in the immediate area so I wonder how well they'll compete long term.

The young man and the woman working there were friendly. They added a couple of donut holes to my bag which was a nice little treat while I waited for my burrito. You get a full breakfast with this burrito. It was packed with eggs, potato, bacon and cheese. The combined flavors were delicious together. Sometimes, I don't prefer bigger burritos because I might get a bite of only dry potato. This burrito was full of flavor with each bite. They give you a side of green salsa which I didn't try because it was at the bottom of the bag and I didn't know it was there. Next time I will add it! And, the croissant donut - YUM! It was light, fluffy, sprinkled with sugar to add a little sweetness. The layers of the croissant and airy glazed donut melt in your mouth.

It was a SINGLE pin on my google map - no pins near it at all! I must have pinned this at some point as "a place to go to sometime when in the area" but I really can't remember pinning it and am not sure why I would pin a coffee shop located in a church! However! This is the second coffee shop that I've seen in Denver while driving by - like located as part of a massive church, so it was interesting to actually be checking it out. It was a weekday and there was a vast parking lot and there were like 4 cars. LOTS of parking! Once inside, I immediately relaxed! Didn't even know I was tense! There was so much to look at and it smelled so good inside. Couldn't quite put my finger on it. Something baked tho. My eyes wandered everywhere over the various retail areas, the furniture - couches to patio furniture, the people behind the counter, the various large chalkboards, menus, etc. Lots to look at. I wound up getting a spicy chai! I never order chai! I must have been under some strange spell from being immersed in the warm comforting baked goods aroma! The spicy chai had KICK! It was so good that I ordered a second one to go! My friend ordered that ham+cheese biscuit which looked amazing, with those cheese legs dripping! Whoa! It was such a nice coffee + conversation vibe.
