I tried the maple donut and let me tell you it was so delicious and not too sweet (still sweet though). It has a custard filling on the inside which was to die for. My fiancé had a cake donut and said it was the best donut he's ever had. The lady who greeted us was very friendly and we were in and out very quickly. It seemed very clean inside and organized which was nice and the restaurant was nicely lit inside. Overall a great donut shop! read more

We were welcomed, assisted quickly, and our donuts were really good. The breakfast sandwich was gobbled up, so I guess they liked those too! read more

Exceptional donuts at a great price. I'd rank city donuts among some of the better in the city. Huge fan and very friendly staff. Best way to start the morning - good donut & nice people read more

The cashier was very nice and the donuts were soooo light and fluffy. They were delicious!

Went to the Colfax location Wednesday before Thanksgiving to buy donuts for the whole family. Unfortunately they were closed. Trying to support a local family business, I drove to the Peoria location. Unfortunately they were closed as well. I wish that if you were closing multiple locations, please annotate all locations closed or which were and which were not closed. read more

Great donuts, best apple fritters in town and very reasonably priced. They are far and away the best bang for your buck.

My 2 stars from seven years ago is now a 5. This is why: the grumpy lady who served me then has been replaced by a very nice young man who stayed open an extra few minutes to accommodate me - a smile and some accommodation goes a long way. Second, and this is the BIG one for me, they are now open until 8 pm (every day but Monday)! As I mentioned 7 years ago, I'm just a guy who prefers my donuts after 2 instead of before; the later the better. read more

This business was located in what looked to be a pretty sketchy area particularly for an out of town guest not knowing where she was. It had boxes and stuff piled around and the bathroom needed a code to get in. The person manning the place was okay friendly but not especially welcoming or informative. The donuts were good but the "coffee drink" was gas station coffee drink which suffices for coffee but not if you want a nice latte in the morning. It was an okay experience and we enjoyed the donuts. read more

WOW. The amount of stellar reviews on City Donut is phenomenal! I stopped by the Denver location on my way back from some errands and wanted to treat myself to an apple fritter (my usual selection) and a cup of coffee. Has a typical neighborhood donut shop feel to it, complete with regulars walking in and out, chatting with the owners. Service is great. Selection is great. Donuts themselves are great. Coffee is great. No complaints here, and I'd totally do a catering or large to-go order once more in-person events start happening. I rarely go to Littleton or Aurora, but I'll have to visit City Donuts over there, too. Love when I visit a place that lives up to its hype. I'll definitely be back! read more

Their fresh donuts were delicious. Woman working at shop was very sweet! Maple donut is the best.

I stopped there before heading to my sister's house to buy nieces a donut. The staff was attentive and assisted me quickly with my ordered. They have great variety of flavors of donuts and everything taste so amazing. The quality was great. My donuts was packed in box promptly. The prices were good too. read more

One of my friends informed me about City Donuts. On Saturdays I usually pick up a dozen donuts for coffee friends. Even though they about a 20 minute drive, I decided to give them a try. My friend was correct. Their donuts were outstanding. the donuts were a big hit this morning I would highly recommend this establishment and they now have a loyal customer, 20 minute drive or not read more

I needed to come back and add that after 2 days my donuts were still pretty darn fresh!! I was so impressed as normally fresh donuts get stale next day and these bad boys were still good to go 2 days later (hard for me to eat 1/2 a dozen that quick). read more

They are closed. The sign on the colfax location said new temporary hours: Closed Monday - Friday. Come on!! No explanation? We were there Friday morning and they were open. Annoying. Today we wanted a couple dozen to celebrate a birthday and had to go to Safeway. Not cool. read more

Yum! Delicious donuts that are extremely fresh and there's a great selection. We popped down here during a break from our hospital visit and what a great idea. You won't be disappointed! read more

For the one donut I had, this place is very promising. I usually rate my donut shops by their glaze donuts but to my misfortune the gluttonous old man ahead of me took them all. Oh well. I got here pretty early so it makes me think so they just not make enough glaze donuts or do they just taste like heaven, I will never know. Unless I am in Denver again. But for the one donut that I did have, second favorite cinnamon crumb donut, it was very tasty and very fluffy. It is everything you want in a donut. I can't give this a 5. The reason is that I grade on the glaze donuts but if I imagine what that glaze tastes like, I can almost guarantee that this donut shop would be a 5 star. I'll change my review once I scaled that mountain. read more

When did the Safeway's and King Soopers of the world forget how to make a good glazed raised donut? Well, no problem. City Donuts is a quick walk for me, and they NAIL the art of donutery. I did make the mistake of bringing my 3.5 year old in with me, and now he asks to go just about daily. The staff (usually l just see a fella I assume to be the proprietor) is always first rate, super friendly, and over the top helpful. read more

10/10! Got a dozen donuts & some to go coffee for my coworkers. All delicious! Thanks to the staff for being friendly & helpful

New (to me) donut discovery: cake donut with coconut topping. Perfection. Just the right about of sweet. And it's even better if you let it sit overnight in the bag. read more

Fantastic donut shop! Popped in here on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30pm just before closing. My wife and I got a glazed donut each, and they were the best!! The donut was so fluffy and had a nice crispy exterior, not too sickly, just right. The owner of the shop greeted me as I entered, and told me about the history of the shop, and even how they make their donuts. Support this local business and come give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

We wanted to do something nice for our apartment community staff before the holidays (December 2021), so we headed to City Donuts to get them a gift. We arrived 30 minutes before they closed and assumed they wouldn't have much left ... but we were wrong. It looks like they just opened - the case was full of so many gorgeous choices! The gal behind the counter was sweet and friendly, and super patient with us as we got 2 dozen donuts and some extras for ourselves. She even offers to give us a veteran discount even though they don't normally do those anymore - she definitely didn't have to, but it was very gracious of her. So how do the donuts TASTE? Um, incredible, my friend. I think if you come to Denver, or especially if you live here, trying City Donuts should be on your bucket list! read more

Walking in the door and getting a warm greeting was definitely the right way to start the morning not to mention donut hunting. I already had in mind what I wanted - Boston Creme - but my wife had some deciding to do. Considering this is my go to it is also the standard I compare donut shops on. I can tell you mine was very good. She had the old fashioned and we got a bunch of donut holes for our toddler. Everything was great especially with a good cup of coffee. I am happy to have found a spot so near us that has both great donuts and a friendly staff! read more

I'd been craving a donut for over a week, so i decided that today was the day that I was going to go on a search for a great donut place with authentic cake and glazed donuts. We settled on City Donuts, and we were beyond impressed! We were greeted so warmly by Mido, the young man working the counter. My daughter had a picture she had drawn in her hand, and he immediately started chatting with her about it. He was so, so kind and such an obviously lovely person. On top of that, the donuts were absolutely top-notch! Super fresh and so delicious. If you are looking for awesome, real donuts, and incredible customer service, this is the place. read more

Possibly my favorite donut shop in Denver. There are two locations of these but I like going to the one on E Colfax. It's usually never busy in there and the donuts are so delicious. Try it and you won't regret. Enjoy! read more

Excellent little donut shop. Love the old building and the feel of the place. Almost felt like stepping back a few decades as we entered.

They were all fresh and delicious. read more

I hate to leave a one star review for City Donuts, because I actually really liked their selection and service. So I'll add another star for that. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning from the doughnuts here, and on my first time visiting, no less. I couldn't wait to come by and try out their selection, so I was here at about 8 or 9 in the morning. The 3 doughnuts, and the bottled orange juice I bought on the side, were the first (and only) thing I ate that day; I started feeling strange within 2 hours, then began getting sick. So I didn't have an appetite to eat for the rest of the day. It only lasted a day or so, but I was made sick nonetheless. Therefore, I will not be giving City Donuts another try. :( Also worth a note: you can't get any fancy coffee here, just a simple cup of Joe. Literally just a SIMPLE cup of Joe. Not my "cup of tea..." lol. **EDIT: In response to the owner's comment below: what you have stated is incorrect. Not only am I a former pre-med student & biology major, I am a certified food handler/preparer, certified in 5 states. I know what causes food poisoning, and what the symptoms are. Food poisoning can be felt as early as 3-6 hours after consuming contaminated food. It is quite disappointing that you aren't well-informed on your knowledge of food-borne illnesses, as you are working directly with the public in a food and service related industry. Please obtain further education on the cause and effects of food borne illnesses so that you will not contaminate someone else's food like you did mine. And I never said anything about nausea; your donuts caused me to literally throw up, have explosive diarrhea, and I was also plagued with "sulfur burps" (which is a CLEAR indicator of consuming contaminated foods), for an entire 24 hours. I WISH it were as simple as just "feeling nauseas." I had literally not eaten anything else in the 12-14 hours prior to me buying donuts at your shop, so the buck cannot be passed. read more

I really shouldn't know about this place. These are some old school donuts. So delicious and perfectly fluffy and light. And they're not expensive and it's really easy to just keep eating them (even when you're so full and you've already had 2 but you've got 2 more in your bag and you know you were never going to wait till tomorrow to eat them...) And the staff is really friendly. You get that "neighborhood, come chill with friends and family" vibe. They sell out of the flavors early, so no sleeping in if you want anything but the basics. read more

A friend visiting loves donuts so we knew this place was close by and wanted to try it! We arrived a little after noon and there weren't many donuts left. We figured that was our fault and ordered a couple so we could try what was there. Our donuts did not meet expectations. They didn't taste fresh like other donut shops I've tried. Also, I didn't find the female helping us very welcoming. I understand they were closely fairly soon but we were buying quite a few donuts! read more

City Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Back in Raleigh my husband and I became slightly obsessed with a donut shop that made what I consider the best apple fritter known to man kind! Since relocating we have been on the epic search to find a replacement...City Donuts on Colfax good but not 100%. My husband and I went on a Sunday morning and luckily had no issue parking (right out front) and only had to wait a few moments to purchase our daily deliciousness. The young lady at the counter wasn't nearly as personable as the owner seems to be from other reviews but she helped us. We got the last 2 apple fritters (which upset the people behind us) and 2 glazed cruellers. The glazed cruellers were pretty good in my opinion. They donut itself was moist and sweet but not overdone. The apple fritters looked very similar to my favorite Raleigh apple fritter but were more doughy that I liked. They did have actual apples in them which I thought was impressive. I guess I most preferred the edges which were the most delicious bites of heaven but the middle - again too doughy. I would definitely go back to City Donuts and maybe even try the apple fritters again. I look forward to trying/finding a maple eclair with white cream filling - none of that pudding crap! read more

We frequent here after church or swim lessons! They're always so friendly, the donuts are good and it's a nice local spot! They often sell out of the donut holes so be sure to get there early! The sprinkled donuts are the boys favorite and I enjoy them too. There is a $5 minimum on credit cards. The staff is always so helpful and kind. We like supporting this local spot! read more

Can we please talk about the employee that was there today...4/23 @ 10:25am....horrible. Nasty Attitude. I told asked her a question regarding a donut (there wasn't very many to choose from) she pretended like she didn't see what i was pointing at nor understand my question. Girl, if you don't wanna work with people, go home. Nobody has to or wants to deal with your shit attitude. read more

Great donuts! A good variety, but it's a small shop so not as much quantity. I get the sense you have to get there early because they sell out of their more popular stuff. The donuts I bought were really good. Service was excellent. I'll be back! read more

They are the voted the Top Doughnuts in Denver. Good for you, City Doughnuts. You beat most competitors... I'm talking to you, Voodoo Doughnuts, and the beloved chain shop (Lamars) on their website, they quote, and I repeat: "These are doughnuts that will take you back to your childhood, with scores of cake..." I was impressed and was definitely worth seeing what they had: my favorite of assorted glaze, red velvet, swirls, and creamy goodness filled. Oh my god! They also sell the famous best bear claw and long johns. I was impressed with their breakfast bagel sandwiches/ croissants as well. What I ordered was mainly the Pineapple Fritter, oh so good, my favorite. The Chocolate Frosted Twist and the cinnamon rolls. read more

Overall, great donuts and cool little shop. They are more expensive than what you would pay at Dunkin etc..

I mean, it's donuts. I don't think I've ever met a donut I didn't like. They are not warm and fresh or mind blowing but it's a donut when you crave one & it's close. Was a bit disappointed that there was no wonderful donut smell when we walked in early Saturday. Prime time for a fresh donut had these been made on site, which I don't think these are. Will always support a neighborhood place, just wish this was better. read more

Okay. Charged me pastry price, 2.50 for a jelly DONUT. Did not think that was fair. Should be marked in case of other donuts are 1.69. I'm not stingy. Not a big selection. Maple donut was frosted red. I found that odd. Little on the dry side, too. Too many inconsistencies to give a good review, sorry. I believe in small business, though read more

One of the friendliest establishments I've ever been to. 10/10 customer service, 10/10 doughnut quality. Will definitely be back anytime I need to pick up a dozen or two for work. The establishment had an excellent doughnut smell when I walked in. Obviously doughnuts were made on-site and fresh in the morning. read more

Oh, good God of donuts in heaven. Gimme better parking and I'll give YOU 5 stars. However, I can walk after all, and these donuts are amazing and well worth it! Fave post leg day treatsies are the glazed donut bites. So chewy and I'm really going out on a limb here to say it's the best glaze EVER known to glazed donuts. Staff is always friendly and store is always clean. You also can't beat the price! read more

This donut shop is probably the closest to our house which is definitely an added bonus when you decide last minute that you want donuts. Also, there's never a line which is another added bonus when you usually travel to donut shops with children that are 3 and 6. They have traditional flavors done well. Don't go here looking for crazy toppings. Do go here for consistently soft and delicious donuts that you can get quickly. The price is reasonable and the people working here have always been pleasant. I don't know what more you could ask for from a small donut place. read more
