Cute little donut shop with a variety of options. Staff were friendly. 2 premium donuts and 2 premium shakes (that came with a donut each) = $32. Not complaining about the price. The donuts are made to order so they are fresh and warm. read more

This bright, colorful, family-friendly shop has been a staple in the area for many years. They make made-to-order donuts right in of you, so you know they're fresh and toasty! 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. read more

First visit and it was spectacular! I had drove by this place so many times but never went in. They make the donut fresh in front of you! This is a cool experience as well. 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). read more

I was having an event at work and decided to grab some donuts. There were two people working both were really nice and explained that the donuts were made to order and how the menu worked. I decided to order a dozen plus I got a free one for checking in. It was a little pricey but the price matched the product! They were like little sweet works of art!!! The space was colorful and reminded me of an old school ice cream shop. Every one was hesitant to eat them at first because they were so pretty but after the first one was eaten the rest was history all that was left were a few sprinkles! read more

It was my first time at Desert Donuts so I wasn't sure what to expect. As soon as I came in, my daughter and I were greeted by the owners. They explained the menu board to us and we took a minute to decide what we wanted. Once ready, we placed our order. I noticed that they have rewarding points, so I asked the girl if i could sign up. I scanned the QR code and filled out the information. I was hoping she would give us points for that visit, but she told us the next visit she could put our phone number in and we could start earning points then. As a first time customer and an avid person for reward points, I was quite bummed. I proceeded to pay, about $10 for 2 donuts. I wasn't sure what to expect for that price. My daughter and I then walked over and watched them make our donuts. My daughter loved that there were a lot of different options for icing colors. When I saw the size of the donuts I was a bit bummed. They were quite small for the price, about the size of your palm. After we received our order, the owners were nice to chat with us and let us know about the paint and sip that they do every Saturday. That was really nice because we are always looking for something to do. They were friendly and chatted for a moment and welcomed us back. Once we got home, we tried our donuts, about a 2 minute drive, so they were still warm. Still bummed about the size, we dug in. My daughter had a pink icing and rainbow sprinkle donut and I got the Cinnamon sugar with apple and caramel. My daughter dug right in and loved it. Mine on the other hand, while delicious, I was bummed it wasn't real apple, it was canned apple pie filling. The donut was gone in 3 bites. A very small snack at best. While the taste was there, I would only consider this a snack and not a real breakfast. They did have other items on the menu, which screamed diabetes to me! Overall it was a good experience and I will be back, but not on a regular basis. read more

Decided for donuts and coffee and this place was just a bit around the corner from us. Made fresh with many customs choices. About as close to home made as can be without the mess or overhead. Got classic plain and a delightful raspberry. Was a bit disappointed that while crispy and fresh but too dough in the center. Actually our two donuts were just already made, they should / could have asked us and than made the donut especially since they say fresh and wasn't like their was a crowd. May give them another chance... Wow also a place I can come for a scoop of icecream, read more

Had a great experience at Desert Donuts! Ethan served us and explained the entire menu, had such a great positive personality, and checked in on us when we tried the coffee he had made. Ethan even explained the donuts names and where the personal touch came from. He showed us photos of the owner and overall he just seemed proud to work there. The fresh donuts were a hit but the coffee was out of this world. The cute custom donut themed songs inside the shop were also very adorable. I wish this place was closer to us because this would become a favorite! Might have to drive up to Lake Pleasant just to get a treat every once in a while! read more

What a great concept for a donut shop. Everything is made fresh to order, which was awesome and unexpected. There is so many option from your very basic donuts to more intricate flavors.

Have lived in AZ for quite some time now and just recently, a little over four months ago, stopped into Desert Donuts and immediately fell in love! The shop itself is very clean and colorful, offering coffee, ice cream, and of course, donuts! The variety of donut flavors and specialty options were HUGE, having something for just about everyone. It was really cool to see a place where all of their donuts are made fresh to order and in front of you, so you're always leaving with warm and fluffy treats. Also was able to meet Mike the owner on one of our visits, a very friendly and super personable guy! 100% would recommend this custom donut shop to anyone looking for a morning pick-me-up, or just a little treat. read more

I'm not really feeling all the hype about this place, but that could be because I don't like all the crazy toppings on donuts. I'm a classic chocolate long John, sprinkles, or Boston cream kind of gal. Lamar's still ranks as best donut in Arizona for me. They are made fresh and come out warm before they are topped. I had the black and white and my mom had the funnel cake, which was the donut of the month. $2.75 each is steep and we both thought they were just ok. read more

We were in the area camping at Lake Pleasant and decided to make a foray into town to get some dinner and groceries and saw this little shop. I had seen it on Yelp and at first glance I thought it was a place where you could choose your donut batter and they'd make it fresh for you. I was wrong! Upon entering our family of 5 was very enthusiastically greeted by a young girl (we later found out she was the owner's daughter), who proceeded to give us a tour of their ordering process and answered any questions I had. Turns out that all their donuts are vanilla cake donuts (I'm actually not a fan of that kind--but wait! I'm not done...) and the variety is in the variations of toppings, not in the donut batter like I'd thought. And man, they have it (almost) all! We were going to just get one for each of us, but then it turns out we were there on their Dads for Donuts day--50% all donuts with dad present. So we opted to get 2 for each person, with the intention of one now one later. Ordered 8 donuts for 4 of us, and my youngest isn't a donut fan so he ordered a single scoop of ice cream in a waffle cone. His order was made first and it was very impressive in size, so much so that he offered to share with us (and he never does that)! In the meantime, we had to wait a little while as they put together our 8 and to be honest, I wasn't having high hopes. The donuts by themselves weren't very impressive looking and assemblage looked meh. When she gave us our boxes I was pleasantly surprised to feel warm bottoms, and when we got into our car to enjoy the donuts, they looked really good. Then I bit into mine and wow... it was REALLY good!!! The donut was very soft and moist on the inside with a lightly crisp exterior. And the pleasant thing is that the donuts themselves are not overly sweet, which is a nice balance to the toppings. The rest of the family agreed that the donuts were good; some a little too sweet while others just right. Definitely would come back if we're ever up in this corner again. In fact, I might order a plain donut just to savor the simplicity of it! read more
