    Dude City Donuts!
    Linda O.

    Donuts I picked up this morning and ate hrs later were still very fresh and flavorful. The apple fritters actually had apples chunks in them! Special thx to the kid who was nice enough to bring them out to my car too. You rock dude! This is the place for fresh, great tasting donuts!

    Visited: Wed May 13th 8:00 am New donut shop just opened up on Lancaster, South of Hwy 22 at the Home Depot entrance. Establishment was brightly lit and cheerful...Like most new eateries, the behind the counter activity was buzzing with enthusiasm and just the simple fact of staff trying to familiarize themselves with products and procedures. The behind the counter display of donuts reminded me of a Daynight Donuts or Dunkin Donuts. From the menu display, in addition to the donut offerings, breakfast sandwiches and a variety of standard coffee shop choices are being offered. The donut variety being displayed look rather simplistic and basic without the outlandish offerings and toppings. Thus, the pricing is reasonable and affordable for the whole family or the workplace. I was greeted with a smile and cheerful greeting when it was my turn to order. For my initial visit here, I just stuck to a half-dozen order of glazed, cake and creme filled donuts. The total cost was $6.75. When I reached home, the donuts was nice & moist and tasted very good with no surprises. With that being said and being the closest donut shop to my residence, I will definitely be back to Dude Donut City.

    These donuts are pretty good. They could be better but they're not terrible. The customer service is decent and I would rather eat these donuts than day night donuts any day.

    Very yummy donuts! Great selection, and good price. My son especially loved the Bavarian cream filled donuts.

    It's perfect that you can get donut comfort food in Salem, late at night! They seemed to be making more fresh donuts even after 10pm. I was especially pleased with both the raspberry and the chocolate cream-filled donuts and the varieties of fruit jelly-filled ones like: mango, guava, and strawberry. This place is well-lit, filled with donut options and worth a try.

    I'm not sure what kinda shady business this is, our last visit was 6/17/2020 and spent $5.61. Today 7/10/2020 I had TWO back to back charges for $5.61 on my PayPal debit card while sitting at home. Their donuts are mediocre, it's nice to have a donut shop on this end of town. The coffee could definitely use a much needed improvement. All in all, we will visit this place but to date, nothing beats Roth's donuts.

    Not my favorite donuts. The filling is inconsistent & not well portioned. The donuts were crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside but VERY greasy. I wanted to like them but there was too much grease & they were inedible after a couple bites. The bear claws were the only thing that gave me pause & convinced me to try again in a couple months when they've got their groove a little more streamlined. Also, would be nice to include the higher end donuts like the bear claws in your half dozen at just a slight up-charge instead of having to leave with 8 donuts when we only wanted 6. Overall: will return but only specifically to try the "higher end" donuts.

    Super friendly customer service, these folks love donuts and love selling them. The quality was very very good with all the right bases covered. Fresh, high quality. These folks are now in my top 3 donut shops in Salem. Plus, they're open early and on the way to or from work for me.

    I hate giving low scores, but it wasn't anything I would go back for. Our donuts were very dry and the blueberry donut I had tasted too much like a fake extract flavor. The logo and design is cool though.

However, you…read moremight currently find Jen Adams' cupcakes for sale at Adam's Rib Smokehouse in Salem, Oregon. Walking inside Adam's, there was a female employee at the ordering counter. I closely examined her mannerisms, intentionally asking random questions to test her. Not a lot of smiling. A semi-disinterested look, with similar responses. I've seen worse, but I'd hardly call such demeanor acceptable for the front of the house. Adam's should be lucky I wasn't there to rate the staff. Four cupcakes were available from Jenuine Desserts on my visit to Adam's. Chocolate Peanut Butter sounded great, but seemed too heavy for me at the time. Toasted coconut sounded lovely, and the confetti cake with vanilla buttercream was basically screaming at me to pick it. So of course, I went with the last option: red velvet with a cream cheese buttercream frosting. After placing my order, the young female employee went to the back, even though four cupcakes were sitting under a glass dome at the ordering window. I couldn't gauge how long they had been under there, but I got there a bit past 11 in the morning. She brought back a red velvet cupcake in a plastic see-through container. Pink edible sprinkles caressed the top of the buttercream for a great color contrast. But alas, the container was cold. At that moment, I had negative thoughts that the cupcake was cold and not fresh, perhaps refrigerated. In other words, the actual cake would be heavy and dry. And I was correct. It pains me, because I'd think people would yearn for fluffy, room-temperature cupcakes. I can only assume I came at an unfortunate time when staff needed to make sure the older products were sold first. I'm happy that any red food coloring was kept to a minimum, because I've seen those solid red cupcakes that just make me fear a bit for my health. The cream cheese buttercream was well-prepared: smooth and not overly sweet. The buttercream appeared to go to the middle of the cupcake, doubling as a filling. I personally like filled cupcakes, so I felt that was a plus. The overall flavors were palate-pleasing. I'll award at least a small happy panda dance for such fine work. Jen should have other attractive creations available, depending on the season. I'd bet a good amount of money you'd see her at a Farmer's Market in the coming months. Such events are great ways to get your name out there without enduring ridiculously high business/startup costs. I'm unsure if cupcakes are made fresh each day. I'd consider making some for lunch and a few for dinner. Adjust the number of cupcakes made accordingly. It's probably understandable that even this is a tall task, assuming Jen has catering events and other online orders to take care of. The cupcake has promise, but the non-freshness of the product significantly destroyed the experience. I'd consider giving these cupcakes another try, and hopefully, I'll get a fresher cupcake next time.

It's on a cute street in the heart of downtown, just blocks from the riverfront. It's a small space with a couple of indoor tables and a few tables on the sidewalk. We were greeted warmly and given time to look over the menu and space to ask questions. We went with a dozen, 2 of each flavor, and a couple of drinks. We all really enjoyed the cinnamon sugar, which was served piping hot. My husband loved the maple. My favorites were the lemon poppyseed and the chocolate, which tasted a lot like a brownie. My daughter's favorite was the s'mores, you could definitely taste the marshmallow in the glaze. It's astonishing that these are vegan and gluten free! They were better than I expected, better than a "regular" one. My daughter got their strawberry matcha and declared it better than any she had in Japan. It had strawberry puree on the bottom and was dusted with strawberry on top. We also tried their seasonal latte, which was good! This will be a must visit anytime we are remotely near Salem and we would love to see them open a spot in Portland! Just putting that into the universe.

One of the biggest issues I've noticed is the inconsistency in portion sizes. For example, cake slices are often cut noticeably different sizes from one visit to the next. When customers are paying around $8 per slice, there should be consistency so everyone receives the same value. Investing in a cake slicer or portioning guide could help solve this issue. I also recently ordered a 6-inch birthday cake for my daughter, and when I received it, it appeared to be barely 5 inches. To the owner's credit, they did reach out to me, acknowledged the issue, and provided a gift card to make things right, which I genuinely appreciated. Good customer service means a lot, and I want to recognize them for addressing my concern. Unfortunately, the replacement cake I ended up purchasing was disappointing. Nobody in my family was particularly happy with it, and the quality just wasn't what we've come to expect. Over the last year especially, it seems like the quality and freshness of the cakes have become inconsistent. Sometimes they're excellent, and other times they taste stale or simply aren't very good. Customer service can also be hit or miss. I've had some positive interactions, but there have also been times when the service felt less than welcoming. I am not writing this review to tear down a local business. In fact, I continue to support them because I know what they're capable of when they're at their best. However, consistency is important. Consistent cake sizes, consistent quality, and consistent customer service would go a long way toward improving the overall experience. I hope this feedback is taken constructively because I'd love to see the shop return to the level of quality that made me a regular customer in the first place.
