    Coffee Toffee, Blueberry, Bavarian Cream, Churro, MOC, & Fluffernutter ($19.95)  09-26-2025

    Donuts are freshly made to order! I first came here not long after their Grand Opening I was over at La Belle French Bakery and spotted this place and thought I'd check it out. Since that first visit, I've been back a few times. I even brought my husband with me and we took donuts to our son, daughter (in-law), and granddaughter. They all LOVE these donuts! I live in CA, so I can't make it here as often as I'd like. But, when I am in town, I hit this place up! The best part is that the donuts are fresh out of the fryer, decorated, and served in a timely manner. You should eat a donut while it is so fresh, it is really tasty! They have a ton of varieties of flavors to choose from. I think there is only one donut batter, but I could be incorrect. The icings and toppings are what gives the donuts personality. These donuts have the best texture and flavor!! I love the slightly crispy exterior and the fluffy interior! As for the toppings, I have enjoyed all the donuts I've tasted! We like to cut them up in to bite-size sample pieces for sharing. TIP: They offer Gluten-Free options for a fee. The menu is quite extensive! I appreciate that their menu board has descriptions as well as pictures. Very helpful in the decision making process! Along with these donuts, they serve coffee, milkshakes, donut ice cream pies, and ice cream. Oh, and donut meals (check out the menu) served on top of a donut! The staff were very helpful and patient. Decisions take time here! I will surely be back in 2026! I hope Desert Donuts will remain successful and in business!

    As we walked in we were Immediately hit the smell of warm and sweet donuts. We only had to wait a few minutes for all our food. And when it came out it was piping hot and smelt heavenly. The Gluten free donuts were amazing and fried to perfection.

    This place is a HUGE WIN for anyone who is gluten free! Between ice cream, donuts, shakes & coffee options, this place has all the goodies for GF friends. The donuts were tasty, a little sweet, but could be approached like a crumble cookie (IYKYK.) The coffee was yummy too. I went with something more tame, which I don't regret since I was partnering it with a sweeter donut. Will be going back to try more!!!

    Today was my first experience here. The crew and manager was very friendly. It's interesting to have donuts made to order and not stuck on the menu like other donut shops as others say you get what we give you.... It's great to have warm fresh donuts and we even ordered some to go and they were just as good. I just wish since this is basically a new concept that during their greeting is to ask if it's your first visit as I had to announce it and it was explained to us. Also, it wouldn't hurt to have someone maintain these reviews and reply to the positive and negative feedback.

    Desert Donuts is such a fun and delicious spot! The donuts are made fresh and served hot--you can dip them in your choice of icing and add any toppings you like. So many creative combinations to try, including gluten-free options, which is a huge plus. They also have a coffee bar, making it the perfect sweet stop. Everything was fresh, warm, and totally worth the visit! The staff is so kind & friendly we love them all! Inside is kid friendly - add your name to their donut wall.

    Freshly made donuts to order! They even have gluten free donuts that are made a separate station/fryer so there's no cross contamination. So many flavors! Tons of other yummy things like milkshakes, coffee, and more. Very family friendly, and quick service. Staff was great!

    Okay, this is easy to park - just in front of Office Depot off of Arapahoe This donut shop offers a unique twist on the classic donut shop that serves donuts, ice cream, and fried chicken+donuts The highlight of this eatery is undoubtedly its fresh-to-order donuts. You order and pay upfront, and each donut is made specifically for you, ensuring a warm, fresh treat every time. For those who might need a bit of assistance or just prefer a more tech-savvy approach, a tablet is available for placing orders. The interior of the shop is clean and spacious, with a large seating area that was particularly pleasant on a beautiful day thanks to a refreshing cross breeze. It's a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a quick meal or a leisurely coffee. While the concept and the food are solid, the overall experience doesn't quite hit the mark of exceptional, but it's a great option for those in the area looking for a quick, tasty meal with a twist. Whether you're starting your day or looking for a sweet and savory lunch or dinner, this donut shop is worth a visit. You are expecting pretty expensive donuts here 4 or 5 bucks at least. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

    Bacon Blast and Caramel Latte
    Jaimielyn B.

    Sucked in by another Instagram video and a craving for doughnuts, I took a break from errands to come here. I'm admittedly always skeptical of places like this, but this definitely lives up to the hype. Located in Greenwood Village in the same parking lot as the Office Depot and Torchy's, you can't miss the signage on this place out front. There is a counter you can go to for ordering but there's also a tablet that makes to go (or dine in) ordering easy. I was greeted by a worker who gave me the rundown since they're still very new. The doughnuts are nice and crispy while being fluffy and soft on the inside. They're airy rather than dense, if you have a preference, not as light as a Krispy Kreme but not as solid as a traditional bakery doughnut. They melt in your mouth. There's 62 different options to choose from, or you can choose a simple base and customize from there. I chose the Bacon Blast and Caramel Latte this trip and was very happy with both. The melting frosting on the Caramel Latte was lovely, and maple & bacon is such a good combo that is well executed here. If you have a mega sweet tooth, there's also ice cream, which also means shakes that come with a doughnut on top! There are also meals, which is a doughnut base with your choice of protein on top. And there's coffee, of course. Parking is easy since they're in a shared lot. The primary seating is booths of which there are six, plus a table with picnic bench style seating and a high top by the windows. They also offer order ahead via Toast Tab if you're looking for pickup. Pricing is also reasonable for the made to order aspect with customizable toppings. They're open from 7am to 8pm (9pm Friday and Saturday) which means you can swing through for breakfast while also coming 'round for after dinner dessert cravings. What a fun addition to the Greenwood Village area!

    Visiting from Hawaii and was craving a donut. Stumbled across this place and Im sooooo happy I did! Best donuts ever!! The flavors are good but the donut itself is spectacular! Something in the batter.....it's crispy yet chewy. Fantastic! Wish we had this place in Hawaii! Great customer service too! Highly recommend.

    Had an opportunity to try desert donuts recently. If you want just a basic donut this is not the place. They specialize in hot fresh donuts. At first walk in the menu is quite overwhelming and expensive. We decided to try a few basics and a few upgrades. Fresh right out of the box the donuts fell apart. They tasted a bit like elephant ears at a carnival. As they cooled down I much preferred them. The peanut butter was great but very untraditional. Service was subpar. While they helped to understand the ordering they forgot our drinks when the donuts came out. Inside is cute and is very clean.

    Chocolate glaze, cinnamaple, bacon blast, PB&J, gopher Gary, caramel delight

    *CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW oh my god these are gluten free??? SOOO good!!! light and fluffy with an occasional fried crunch, and really yummy toppings. an insane amount of options, and very kind staff. the board are marked with astrics for which flavors can be made GF. They have seperate tubes / bottles for GF toppings and frostings, separate utensils, and a different fryer. They are not made to order, but made in batches throughout the day. we got the PB&J (10/10), gopher gary (good donut, okay flavor), cinnamaple (too sweet for me, chocolate icing (classic but delicious), caramel delight (also way too sweet for me), and last the bacon blast (10/10)

    Delivered!

I walked in thinking I would grab a quick coffee. I walked out slightly reconsidering my standards. Let's start with the latte. Extra shot, because... life. And this wasn't just caffeine, it was precision. Smooth, layered, no bitterness fighting for attention. The kind of balance that feels intentional, like someone actually tasted it before handing it over instead of just pushing buttons behind a machine. And then the ham and cheese croissant. This is where things got serious. Flaky in that shatters just enough to make a mess but not enough to embarrass you kind of way. Buttery without being heavy. The ham had actual presence, not just a salty afterthought, and the cheese melted into it like it belonged there from the beginning. Indulgent without tipping into regret. And then... the pastry case. It is not a display. It is a trap. You think you have self-control until you are face-to-face with it. Everything looked like it had a point of view. Not just "we make pastries," but we care about what this feels like when you eat it.

I was hoping the small coffee would be free with purchase of bag, but I guess it wasn't. The bag of coffee wasn't cheap, so I was disappointed in how over-roasted the beans were. Adjusting grind levels and water temperature, there was always a bitterness or too watered down. The other flavors present in the beans, however, we're quite nice. I was hoping that they would have real kona coffee, but unfortunately their supplier suffered from disaster in Hawaii. Not going to blame them for that, but objectively speaking, if a Hawaiian coffee shop doesn't have Hawaiian coffee, then I am sad about it. At the same time, due to the circumstances, there is a compelling reason to throw some more support behind them.
