Thrilled & relieved that Donut Wheel still had a wide array of flavors available half an hour before closing time. Though their display case was understandably bare (glad to see business is good!), I was able to get a great selection of regular-sized donuts & larger, premium ones (think: cinnamon roll, apple fritter, twists, etc.) I had a few bites of a maple bar (which I so regret not getting filled with custard), as well as a glazed old fashioned donut. Pleased with how fresh & non-greasy they tasted. Personable service from the woman assisting us. She explained which donuts can be piped with custard, lemon, chocolate, or cherry filling. This is the second Donut Wheel location I've visited in the past year, & so far they're two for two in friendliness, cleanliness, & quality. read more

Donut Wheel - Donuts Near Me - Chico, California

Stopped by during a visit to Chico. Awesome service, incredible cronuts and donuts. Not too sweet. Zero grease and friendly no BS staff.

I've been here happily a few times in the early morning and appreciate the friendly, attentive service and the delicious variety of donuts and baked goods! The place is always clean and the cashiers carefully and hygienically pack up my dozen donuts. They have other meat items, but I haven't tried any of these yet. Thanks to the great staff and the great baker who I see the light on when I'm on my way to my 4 a.m. shift. read more

Donuts were alright, nothing special. Service was very good, lady working was very nice.

Excellent we are from out of town and stopped by it was so fresh and soft loved them. I definitely let My family know to stop bye. read more

Their donuts here are always fresh. Great service and the owners are super sweet. I have yet to try their savory menu items, however I always get a dozen donuts to share with my family or coworkers. read more

They are crazy busy and this donut is excellent. The coffee is okay so if you are looking for great coffee pick it up separately.

Great fresh raised glazed donut. Enjoyed the soft chew classic. They have a crumb round which has a fantastic cinnamon crumb exterior with soft chewy middle. Perfectly cooked and prepared. Friendly service and large selection of grab and go drinks, energy drinks, milks, waters. The fresh juices looked interesting. read more

Laughing at all the morons who left one star because this plays sells out early. The entitlement of not knowing how donut shops work is astounding. If you want donuts maybe wake your ass up earlier instead of bitching on yelp best donuts in town by far, they sell out early for a reason. (This is also how basically every donut shop on earth that's not open 24 hours works) read more

Great donuts...when they have any. My wife wanted a French cruller and allegedly this is the only place in Chico. I didn't see any in the half empty case at 9:30...and was told they wouldn't have the ingredients for 4-5 days...they did suggest I call.. Probably won't... read more

I was up early grabbing breakfast with a friend on the way back to her house. We had seen what looked like an old vintage style donut shop and decided to pull in. It was about 5:30am on a Monday and when we pulled up we were greeted by two other cars that also had arrived for donuts at the exact same time. The hours read 4:30am-Noon or "until sold out". I thought that was actually pretty cool. I walked in and the decor matched that of something that was from the 70's and had not been touched. I ordered a Glazed Donut and a Fruity Pebbles donut and took it to go. Pricepoint was totally fair and I was off to my car to devour these tasty treats. Overall, I was very happy with my selection and will totally be stopping by again to try more. Thank you guys!!! read more

Everything was great about this donut heaven. The service went way past "the best". The server made up a devils food donut for me to take when she had run out earlier due to local church's demand. When I asked how I could give her a tip she replied "Not necessary". The donuts are first rate.This place was refreshing! read more

Hands down best donuts in town. That being said... don't expect much, if anything, left at Donut Wheel by 9 AM.... They are consistently sold out early. Really disappointing. My retired friends and I would love to meet at 10 AM for donuts and coffee here but they're always nearly sold out or closed already by then. So we take our business elsewhere... The donut wheel owners must be doing just fine only making the amount of donuts that they do. Thus allowing them to close up shop early since they've been there all night making the donuts. Meanwhile the Donut Nook just down East Ave. will have donuts supplied all morning. Donut Wheel really should consider just changing their posted business hours. Sign on the door says closed at noon "or until sold out." read more

Raspberry jelly filled was exactly how it should be. Tasted so good. Pleasant staff and clean environment.

Absolutely the best donut place in Chico. The donuts aren't greasy or heavy, with just the right amount of crispness. We got a dozen mixed donuts for $14 and it was well worth every penny. Plan on paying cash unless you don't mind a fee to use credit. read more

Yum, this is the go to donut spot for me in Chico. The reasons why this spot in particular stands out is because the friendly service and fresh donuts. They do run out of certain kinds throughout the day as customers order them but oh well, pick one of the donuts available and you'll be pleased you did. My favorites are the classic donuts holes and the fritters (blueberry, apple, lemon) all three are delicioso. Their prices are nice so you can expect a cheap donut and possibly a habitual donut run. read more

Great variety of donuts very friendly workers . The crullers are amazing so soft and melted . Will be back.

I have always gotten my donuts from this little shop. But since the innovation of extra people in Chico now, they have not stepped up their production or service to meet the needs of extra customers. Every time my husband or I go there now they have ran out and they think you'll be happy with whatever they have left. Just for their knowledge - there is Raleys and Savmore that has donuts near by. I would suggest they get with the program or this opportunity will pass them up. read more

The lady owner working Sunday 1/18 was super friendly & sweet. I had 3 teenage boys trying to decide. A dzn donuts & she thru in some donut holes, 1 orange juice & 3 chocolate milks approx 14$. She asked the boys about themselves & was just plain friendly in the old fashion customer service way! read more

Great donuts!! The staff is friendly, location is clean. They are doing a great job adhering to Covid-19 health and safety guidelines.

I love the Donut Wheel. If they weren't 20 miles away from our home I would go there every day. As it is I make it at least two to three times a week. They have a great selection of donuts, pastries and crescent rolls. My personal favorite is the ham and cheese crescent with jalapeños. My daughter loves their raised cinnamon crumble donuts which are the best I've found in Chico. Check out the Donut Wheel! You won't be disappointed. read more

NEVER DISAPPOINTED... Amazing donuts and service. If you want a great donut and service then head to the Donut Wheel they are amazing. I have been here several times and I have NO complaints... keep up the good service and production. read more

Donut Wheel - a variety of donuts in a box - Donuts Near Me - Chico, California

Great donuts! They actually make crullers which some other places do but just in shape, not the specific dough. The ham and cheese croissant is pretty good too. When I have been in since the pandemic the staff has worn masks and changed up how they do things to limit contact with the boxes and such. There is a lot of space and tables are moved out of the way to give more space. read more

Easily my favorite donut shop in Chico. The owners are very friendly and the donuts are delicious

Donuts were warm and fluffy. These are melt in your mouth good. I would highly recommend this place but keep in mind, the earlier you go, the better the selection. They close at noon or when the donuts run out. read more

The donuts are delicious! They fill them on the spot and all of them are fresh, delicious and plenary to choose from. The owner is so kind, professional and friendly. read more

Their prices are unbeatable, their donuts amazing, their coffee is really good, and their staff is super friendly. The first time I went over there, it was a little later in the morning. I was craving chocolate - glazed donuts, but they ran out, so the lady was kind enough to take regular donuts and glaze them for me! If that's not good service, I don't know what is. They also open super early, or for night owls, super late (4:30am) depending on how you see it. I'm a night owl and sometimes, a donut at 4:30 just hits the spot. read more

Best doughnuts Evah!!! I almost always seem to get at least one that is fresh off the line. Nothing quite compares to strong black coffee paired with a warm apple fritter! Cue drooling... read more

This place from all accounts has changed owners and rarely has any supply of donuts. I'm guessing you have to get there right when they open to get any selection, who knows but at 8AM in the morning you'd think they would have a few different type of donuts read more

Hands down the best donuts in town and the owners are so nice too. Used to go every weekend but my waistline didn't appreciate it so now try to go every other weekend. THE BEST DONUTS IN CHICO! read more

Probably the best donuts I've ever had. This place is amazing! Their donuts are delicious and fresh. I also love that they accept card because most donut places don't. read more

I went to get donuts to take a picture of them for yelp and when I got home there were no more donuts left. Sorry. If you have an addiction problem, you will need to stay away from this place. Their donuts are DELICIOUS and are made fresh everyday. The people who work here are ALWAYS kind and give really good customer service. They also open at 4:30am for those of you who need sugar in the morning!!! Enjoy... read more

By far the Best donut shop in Chico! They have the friendliest service especially for it being so early in the morning. They have a great selection of drinks and I'm addicted to their ham and cheese croissants. They're warm and buttery and delicious. Definitely give them a try! read more

Favorite donut place now. Wow these were so good. Don't like when they're all doughy it gets too much for a sweet. These are nice and crunchy and baked well. They taste so delicious. The chocolate is really good too and not too much. I'm less is more typically and these have probably a average amount of frosting but it's not overwhelming at all like some places where it gets gross fast. You know, like eating cookie dough. Very good donuts. I'm worried I may like them too much ahah! read more

An old school donut shop with a wide variety. They accept cards & are following COVID safety guidelines. 4 donuts, 1 maple bar & 6 donut holes came out to be approx 6.40 which is fair pricing IMO. read more

Great customer service and delicious donuts. A must visit place if you're craving for some sugar! Two thumbs up!
