I arrived at 5:35 today, place was completely dark. No donuts even on display in the glass encasement.

First time here and unfortunately may be my last. A dozen droughts was quite expensive! $23? Maybe I just haven't bought doughnuts in a while ‍. Also the 15% off for checking in on Yelp they have no idea what you are talking about. They also advertised having mochi doughnuts which is why I went but that was not true. Not a single mochi doughnut :( read more

This donut shop has the best red velvet donuts in town we'll it the only place I found them it so good it's one of my kids favorite. This weekend we tried the newest one they have the mochi I heard so many people rave about how good they are and I guess I don't see how special they are it's okay nothing special to me it's has just a little chewy that's it . Try the red velvet you won't be disappointed.the service isn't bad also and the ambiance is okay read more

See all

Donut Factory no longer honors the 15% checkin Discount that they still promote On their website. They no longer have the coffee flavored creamers. Which was a nice treat. read more

Donut Factory - 15% Discount on Your Next Order - Donuts Near Me - Visalia, California

Definitely under new management I only came because my coworker raves about a breakfast sandwich she had yesterday and a blueberry fritter. I walked in to a lady who was not happy to be at work asked her the breakfast sandwich she proceeded to tell me they don't make any only have ham and cheese croissants ok? I moved on asked for the blueberry fritter she said they don't make those I either walked into the wrong donut shop or she was just not trying to sell any donuts or breakfast today.... Disappointed for sure read more

Donut Factory - the front of the building - Donuts Near Me - Visalia, California

I absolutely love this place. They have a great selection of donuts, cronuts, and delicious croissants. The woman who runs it is always there and always friendly. I like to go by one morning a week for a running late treat for my son. He loves the croissants and the maple bars. If I have a donut, which is SUPER rare- I get their Raspberry Cronut or their raspberry filled donut. Both are delicious! read more

Donut Factory - Mixed dozen donuts for sons birthday - Donuts Near Me - Visalia, California

Best apple fritter I've ever had! The quality and care put into these donuts is very evident. So fresh and delish! I also had a blended vanilla latte and it was very tasty and refreshing. Don't pass up this little gem in Visalia! read more

It was ok. Service was excellent considering the place was closing in thirty minutes. I had a regular donut with chocolate and strawberry frosting. My husband had a german chocolate donut. He complained his was dry. Mine was fairly good, it wasn't dry and I liked the combination of the frosting, so I was happy. But I don't think I'll return just cause its to far from my home. Honestly I was expecting more from this place. Like really killer donuts. But I think I'll stick to scotty's. read more

Donut Factory - A variety of donuts - Donuts Near Me - Visalia, California

Every now and then, my fiancé and I like to treat ourselves to donuts. Since we just moved to Visalia, we weren't sure where to go for donuts, but we found this place on Yelp and were enticed by the "Man Donut." Unfortunately, they were all out the first time we went. So, the very next day, I woke up super early and got there at 5:30 AM to get a couple. My fiancé and I were impressed both days we got donuts! The donuts were big, soft and fluffy, and the flavors were awesome! The staff was patient with us since we wanted to take our time to look at everything. We ate in the first day and got their combo of a drink, chili dog, and donut. The prices were right, and the 15% check in discount made it even better! This will definitely be our donut spot in Visalia! So glad it's walking distance from us! read more

Donut Factory - The "Man Donut" and a chocolate donut kabob - Donuts Near Me - Visalia, California

Even though the Donuts are not made on the premise, They are fresh and delicious. The Donut Factory has a large assortment of Donuts and other items. Example: Apple Fritters, Bear Claws, Ham and Cheese Croissants. Palm Raisin, To name a few. The Donut Factory is very clean with a 99% Health rating, which is excellent. Especially in Visalia. The Staff is always very Friendly. Highly Recommend. read more

The donut holes were very good but just a tad over cooked. The blueberry was yummy! The maple bacon was okay but not like the original in Portland which is often copied. They were very friendly. read more

WOW!!! Been waiting for this place to open and this morning it was everything I expected and more. Donuts are moist and being made fresh right in front of you. Donuts are rich, more cake-like very flavorful!!! Donut balls on skewers topped with chocolate glaze made for a fun and unique twist on eating. The "Bacon Maple" is one to try!!!!!!! Coffee was excellent and staff was warm and friendly!!! read more

I wish Merced had a donut place like this. If you are tired of the same boring donut that are offer in many places, then you will be excited to hear that they have bacon maple bar!!!!! Do not knock it until you try it. It was a sweet savory yet salty taste. The bacon was almost like a strip of candy, I kid you not. For sure my favorite there. Everything is fresh and fluffy, not to mention the owners are super sweet! read more

Donut Factory - Maple bar - Donuts Near Me - Visalia, California

I don't understand why they have a full menu when they don't have half the items on the menu. I had to settle for what they had and the lady behind the register wasn't very friendly. I did order a coffee and smoothie and those were really good but would not go back for that. read more

The donuts are just ok. The glaze donuts were good, but the cake donuts were too dense and greasy, which left a coating inside our mouth. The frosting on the sprinkled donuts was also very thin, more like icing, and wiped off on other donuts by the time we got home. However, the customer service is very friendly and their cinnamon sugar glazed donut was great. We'll try it again to see if it was an off day the next time our regular place is closed. read more

The donuts were ok , the only complaint the girl behind the counter was very rude didn't look friendly at all . She was rude to my son when he told her which donut he wanted won't go there again read more

Delicious food! Okay service, I have yet to encounter a friendly face there but the donuts & biscuits / gravy are so good I can over look not being greeted or thanked lol Tip: donut hole kabobs are perfect for the kids & cost next to nothing :) read more

I finally stopped by, on a Saturday morning and was expecting to find bacon topped specialty donuts. Sadly I found out at the register that the donut shop is under new ownership, the service was good but the donuts are pretty run of the mill donuts you can find around town. Also the Yelp check in 15% discount is not accepted as i was told that it was the previous owners. The prices are pretty reasonable as I got a mixed dozen for around $9.80 or so.. if you just want a donut it's an okay place to get your fix. read more

I needed (ok, really wanted) donuts for an office meeting. I used the 'contact us' form on the website www.donutfactoryetc.com to place my order, got a reply from Sara within 10 minutes to confirm and voila!, Sara appeared at the office at 7:30 this morning with my four dozen donuts. And she'll be back tomorrow with another two dozen - what a find! An office of 80 donut-afficionados are over the moon. Delicious donuts, free delivery. We are big fans. read more

Stopped by to check out this donut place. The donuts were pretty good, and the guy that helped me was really nice. I got a maple bar, chocolate round, and a cookie monster, but I forgot to ask if they had blueberry. The cookie monster was probably my favorite of the three, and it wasn't overly sweet like I thought it might be. I have to compare the chocolate round to that of Scotty's, and Scotty's wins by a landslide. It's not because the DF one was bad, but Scotty's is just that good. I'd come back here if it's on my way and try the blueberry, and hopefully they'll have Butterfinger or something fancy like that. read more

Not the same owner and defenetly not the same donuts. Just another donut shop with no taste or creativity. What a disappointment.

Very very clean and friendly service. We enjoy getting our donut fix here. We always used to go to scottys but these donuts are honestly better. They have also accommodated a large order for me with no problems. read more

Fun and cute donuts. Surprise to find a good donut shop. Love watching them make the donuts. New fav and I liked how there were enough donuts by noon. read more

I love the selection that is ever changing. I'm not a fan of the man donut but that's my issue not theirs! Yum! Website is fantastic.

Drove all the way from Tulare to get a specialty "man doughnut" for my brother, father and husband only to find that the cashier had no clue what I was talking about. I read a previous post saying the shop is under new ownership. While I was met with disappointment, the doughnuts here were still good and the place clean. Made a great breakfast date with my daughter. read more

I love the donuts they are seriously delicious but the lady behind the counter makes me not want to go back again...every time I go in there it seems like she has an attitude...Stares at you up and down when you first show up and doesn't even greet you with a hello. read more

I've eaten my share of donuts and have been to big name "Food Network" places like Top Pot Donuts (Seattle) and I always compare them with Donut Factory here in Visalia and the home team always wins hands down! Not only do they taste the best, but the creativity and variety make you almost excited to see what's behind the glass each time you're there. Anyone giving this place less than 5 stars just hasn't tried enough donut shops, period. read more

in between a Bob's (SF) and a Voodoo (PDX)... semi fancy creations, good flavor and moisture. the apple fritters... too dense though. the dough needs to rise/fluff more for my taste. i also did more raised donuts than cake style. read more

This is the best place to get a donut. I used to love Scottys, until I tried donut factory, if you haven't tried it your missing out. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I'm a little old fashioned and prefer traditional donuts, however you won't be disappointed if you're looking for creative donuts. Give them a try if you're in the area. read more

Very good service. Friendly and polite. Looks very clean and welll maintained. Had a good variety of donuts that were fresh.

Really disappointed in this place service was not friendly not courteous donuts were so so and to me overpriced will not be going back

Look at you,look at me~ headed to,the Donut Factory oh we love them so much we're gonna go back and get some for lunch~ That makes Donut Factory a winner Might as well pick up some for dinner ! :) read more

I've had donuts here a couple times, and each time they have only been OK at best. Last time we went the lady at the counter was very rude. This is not a donut shop that will be a regular stop, even if it is close to our home. read more

This place blows!!! I use to like coming here for something different, but today when I walked in the asshole at the register was rude and everything I wanted to order was off the menu, they need to change their advertisements because nothing on the site is sold in stores...this place use to set themselves apart from all the others but I don't think I'll come back Scotty's is better read more

Well, it's been more than four years since I both, rated the donuts here, and stopped going to Donut Factory. The business has since been purchased, and has a new owner. They look inside is a bit different(better), not leading customers down a narrow hall to purchase, then get bottle necked behind the line. You can actually see the donuts in the display case now, as you walk in. But, the real review, should be about how they taste, the donuts that is. They were great. Fresh, firm, tasty, and as a donut should be. Nothing fancy going on here, just donut making. This is ok, by the way; they don't have to make gourmet donuts. In fact, I'm giving them 5 stars because, they were nice, open on Thanksgiving, and they are just doing what they set out to do, make delicious donuts. Listen, my only complaint, if it's really a complaint, is that Apple Fritter just isn't there yet. Fritters are supposed to be mountainous, pulled apart as you eat them, and look as if they clumped together from several handfuls of material to make this one last donut. With a little more effort, this may be obtained. I've been on the pursuit for the best donuts in Visalia, and while I will have to drive clear across town to enjoy something fresh from Donut Factory, it's well worth the drive! read more

My family and I have been going to the donut factory since they opened! It's become an almost every weekend trip for us and my boys are definitely disappointed if we don't go every Saturday! While I normally get a traditional donut, my husband loves the "man donut" with maple and bacon. My favorite thing about this place is the family friendly atmosphere. They know my children now and what they order and to me that means they actually make an effort to get to know their customers! We also love the cinnamon roles when we can catch them right out of the oven! :) read more

WOW why does this place not have better reviews??? The employees are always really kind, and they are the best donuts in the Central Valley! My personal favorite is the blueberry donut. If I could eat here everyday without gaining 50 pounds, I would. read more

Great donuts but too small to handle high demand. Went there this morning to get 18 donuts to bring to a Valentines Day breakfast get together at work and they said they didn't have enough to sell me that many. Although they had plenty of donuts at the time, they were concerned they would run out and offered to delivery my order later in the day, which of course would have been too late for breakfast. So, after waiting in line, my husband and I walked away with one donut each and I had to go elsewhere to find something for my office. read more

Donut Factory has been a huge disappointment to our family. We live 4 blocks away and we were so excited when they opened, but then we tried it and found that their donuts are not very good, and they don't offer many of the traditional varieties that we like. As a result, we prefer to drive to Scotty's, (Visalia's best donuts by far.) This morning I decided to give DF another try, thinking that with time they have improved - nope. The woman who helped me appeared as though she had to force herself to even feign a smile and be friendly, the other woman working had the register tied up helping someone on the phone, so I had wait a while to pay, cake donuts are too small, raised donuts are too big and not cooked thoroughly, they still don't have many of the traditional varieties of donuts, and they are overpriced. I saw a comment from someone about being able to watch them make the donuts - who cares, (if you are older than 3 years old,) about watching second rate donuts being made. Needless to say, we will stick to Scotty's from now on, and leave DF donuts for those who like the out-of-the-ordinary. read more
