    My daughter has been wanting to take me here to try their donuts. we came late on a Sunday so they were out of most donuts. But the ones we chose were so soft!!! Wow! She is right when she said these are the best donuts in Sacramento!

    I like this box better cuz u gotta spread it open to taste that  beautiful pink box

    Seen this new donut shop with a Mexican name so u know i had to pull up on them. They had some different kind of donuts that u do normally see at the other donut shops out here in sac. The place was quiet because it was empty. Most donut shops are empty tho because everyone one just grabs and go. Customer service was really good. The amazing girl that helped my daughter and I was great! Super friendly and really nice. She took care of us and we really appreciated her service. The donuts were straight fuego!! I always have to get a blueberry and a apple fritter. Those are my go to donuts. They were all good and I also tried an old fashion lemon poppyseed donut. I've never eve heard of such thing. It was fire tho, they also had a chocolate cookies and cream donut filled with cookies and cream topped with an actual Oreo, hella fire. I just wish the had donut holes those are my favorite to snack on when I'm driving away. I will be back for sure and highly recommend this place.

    This donut shop is SO delicious! It's very lightweight, and it is not oily at all. My mom got some to-go this morning, so I didn't exactly get the full experience walking in myself. But their donuts were super flavorful, made a great small breakfast to start my day!

    Yummy! Highly recommend the lemon poppyseed old fashioned donut.

    Friendly little mom and pop shop. I was in and out fast. The people were super nice and the donuts fresh and good. My favorite was the lemon poppyseed old fashioned. I don't see those everywhere! A close second was their apple fritter. Happy national donut day to you.

    Good donuts, really nice service! They had so many options. So lots to pick from. Looked and smelled super clean inside.

    Perfect donuts! Fluffy, light and delicious. I got this box on Valentine's Day and I loved them

    Yummy donuts.

    Love this place. Great donuts and awesome service -- not Hispanic :-) Dunno how Nina's was, but this place is a gem. I would not hesitate to come back again.

    I just call this strawberry goodness

    Great donuts and coffee, albeit a bit pricey. But it's a family business, so be sure to support them.

My eye was first drawn to the churro, I haven't been able to have one in years, I was so excited. It was everything I ever wanted in a churro. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and coated with cinnamon sugar. I could have polished off a dozen of them! The apple fritter was also on my must try list. I grew up loving apple fritters and since having to go GF, it is my most missed donut-adjacent treat. This one was smaller than a normal one, but that was fine because I could actually enjoy it without it being too big. Perfectly fluffy with apple pieces and spiced just right, it was delicious. The cruellers were nice and crispy on the outside and just sweet enough. Glazed with chocolate or regular icing, they are a perfect donut. I have recommended this spot to others that are GF, they need to experience the joy of a prefect GF donut!

Both tasted very good but slightly different without dairy. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the flavor and textures. My friend ended up with the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie which was also great. I love a crunch or different texture mixed in. She did mention that the Rocky Road tasted a bit off because of the lack of dairy and the texture was a bit unusual. The staff were polite and patient and the place didn't seem that crowded for a Thursday around dinner time. I suppose with Ginger Elizabeth's and Rick's Dessert Diner all on the same strip, there is a lot of competition for dessert places here. We were happy to try something new. Everything was fairly clean and there was plenty of bar seating as well as a few tables. I believe there were also tables outside.

Their senorita bread is probably my favorite item at this bakery-my daughter introduced them to me one day and I've been hooked ever since-they r very enjoyable especially when eaten warm. They also feature a plethora of visually pleasing donuts-that I generally consider pretty good overall,with some much better than others-my favorite tend to be the cereal based donuts they have at this bakery. Their savory selection of bakery items,I generally skip but not due to them being any less yummy but usually only because when I visit here,I almost always go for the sweet stuff primarily-that being said their Jalapeño & Cheese "kolache" is off the hook-it's so good-the ham and cheese and pepperoni and cheese versions rock as well.We can't forget about their empanadas or lumpia-it's really great stuff they are serving at this bakery. This particular trip was unique in that I had been recommended this app called "TooGoodToGo" by fellow Yelp Elite All-Star Malikah H. & on this app I saw they were offering "surprise bags" for $5.99 to be picked up between 630p-7p-so I figured I'd try it out. When I arrived and showed the worker my order,she promptly walked to the back and then handed me a bag that was filled with unknown goodies.I opened the bag and inside were a random 6 of their best donut offerings-I was pretty thrilled considering these donuts usually run from $3-$4 each-so to get 6 of them for $5.99 felt like a solid deal. What I really liked about this "surprise bags" was it gave me the opportunity to try out flavors in their bakery I never would've tried on my own at a deeply discounted price-I loved the opportunity to do this and look forward to trying it again sometime. In closing-this bakery is pretty great and the surprise bag gives me another reason to love this bakery-not that I needed another reason-I consider myself a Bad Bakers loyalist and nothing has changed that for me-go ahead and try em out-they rock. PS-They do have a rewards program-so be sure to sign up for this when you go to Bad Bakers.

    The mango series donuts showed up on my IG feed, so knew we had to give them a try. We went to the…read moreshop at around 10am on a Sunday - no line and we were served quickly. All the donuts looked very appealing, so decisions were hard. We ended up ordering the Mango Sticky Rice, Mango Sago, Ube Coconut, and Dubai Chocolate donuts. Also ordered a couple of the chewy Dubai cookies. The donuts were about $6 each. Hubs noted the way the donuts were decorated were like pieces of art. As for the taste, they were good! My fave was the Ube Coconut. The mango ones were good too; the mango flavor really came through. They both tasted pretty much the same - just that one had sticky rice and the other had sago. The donuts were soft and not too sweet. If you like chocolate, you'll love the Dubai Chocolate donut. The chewy Dubai cookie is like a stuffed mochi - quite sweet. If craving sweets, I'd return again, especially for the ube donut. They also have a drink menu that looked interested that I'd like to return to and try.

    Finally made it in to try this donut shop after seeing it all over social media, and it definitely…read morelived up to the hype in some ways. We picked up two Dubai Chew Cookies, which I really enjoyed. The mochi exterior gave them a fun texture and they were surprisingly good. We also tried their Mango Sago donuts, and while they were definitely different from your typical donut, they were unique and delicious. To round things out, we got a classic sprinkle donut, a chocolate glazed donut, and they even threw in three donut holes, which was a nice surprise. For drinks, we ordered the Dot Cake Coffee Latte ($9) and the Dot Cake Matcha Latte ($8). The drinks were decent, but both had way too much ice. The matcha latte tasted more like milk than matcha, which was a little disappointing. Altogether, our order came out to around $54, which feels pretty pricey for donuts and drinks. Overall, I'm glad we finally gave this place a try. The specialty donuts were creative and tasty, and you can tell they put effort into making something different. That said, because of the price point, it's probably more of an occasional treat for me rather than a spot I'd visit regularly. Definitely worth checking out at least once if you're curious

I walked in and saw so many donuts on display but eventually locked in on my maple bar-the employee took a few minutes to come up front,which as a Yelper I didn't mind as it gave me time to snap a few pics of their offerings.Once she took my order of 2 maple bars,she charged me $5.50 for 2 maple bars,which's seems pricey but oh well-in the past I've enjoyed the maple bars here-so whatever. Like I mentioned I do like the maple bars here,they are so light and not overly greasy-they are sweet but they are supposed to be,they are a maple bars-I guess what I like about the maple bars here is I don't feel like crud after eating them here like I do at some other shops,they are delicious,light and sweet-always hit the spot-though a bit pricey. In closing-if u ever find yourself in Natomas and want to have a maple bar or whatever other type of donut that floats your boat that day-I'd recommend stopping here-they are pretty good. PS-I noticed the sign no longer says Natomas Donuts-it now says PGA Donuts-so not 100% sure what's happening at this location-but the maple bars recipe has stayed the same.

For the mini donuts, you can choose toppings, which include original glaze, cinnamon, sugar, powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, caramel drizzle or Nutella. For each 4 donuts, you can choose a different topping. We came here on a sunny Saturday afternoon and ordered six mini donuts with chocolate drizzle and a Gunther's 50-50 freeze with ice cream. The donuts were fried and tasted delicious, especially with the added chocolate drizzle. For the 50-50 freeze with ice cream, we chose guava freeze, chocolate ice cream, and strawberry freeze. All of the flavors were so delicious! Perfect for a nice warm afternoon. The female worker that took our order was very friendly and gave good recommendations. The donuts came out extremely fast! I hadn't even finished ordering the ice cream and the donuts were already on the counter ready for me. The workers were also trying to catch a flying bee, and they ended up catching it. The 6 donuts were $5 and the large 50/50 freeze with ice cream was $8. They do charge a 3% fee if you use your credit card. Overall, great first experience at Mad Hatter Doughnuts.
