My son was thrilled with his sprinkle donut, especially with the fun, non-standard colors like blue and green. My husband's apple fritter had a strong cinnamon flavor with bits of apple; it was a bit crunchier on the edges than we expected, but still delicious. We got an old fashioned for our one-year-old, and it was the perfect choice - not too sweet, nor sticky. The big surprise was the breakfast sausage sandwiches my husband and son ordered. The high-quality egg, sausage, and cheese on a fresh croissant were fantastic. I took a bite and was truly impressed, especially for the price... under $5 is very reasonable for the size. I was waffling over the Kona iced coffee, so a worker kindly gave me a sample. It was stronger, sweeter, and creamier than I expected, so I happily purchased a cup. The shop itself is small and can get a bit crowded, so it's probably not the best spot if you're planning to sit and eat inside. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Ankeny though. I can already imagine grabbing donuts and coffee to enjoy at the park with the kids once the weather warms up!

We were craving an apple fritter and decided to have some delivered, along with a few other…read morepastries. While the apple fritter is the best we've ever had, the others left much to be desired. The menu showed a maple frosted & filled long john. We received a white frosted long john "filled" with what tasted like more frosting and maybe 2 teaspoons of it at the very end of the long john. This morning I was excited to have a jelly filled Bismarck. Again, there was maybe a teaspoon of white frosting inside, noticeably less than the long john.. No red jelly anywhere! I wanted the plain sugared Bismarck, but got a messy powdered sugar kind instead. Just very disappointed. Felt as though a local fuel station would offer better quality.

AMAZING homemade donuts in the heart of Ankeny!…read more Was introduced to Daylight donuts through Ankeny friends and they did not disappoint. Worth the drive if you're out and about in the morning. Visited on a Sunny day at 9am on a Wednesday and their donut case was full of treats! And they were tasty. Walked out with 2 glazed donuts for $2.xx before gratuity. Michelle, the owner, was very polite and welcoming. I've been to Daylight Donuts for a breakfast party before and it was such a great time. Daylight Donuts have been catered to events I've attended and their donuts are always a bit hit. The shop is full of mini Polaroid pictures on the walls that many patrons have taken and posted. Very quaint shop and inviting. Would definitely visit again and will try their milk teas.

By far the best place that sells the cronut. But you need to get there early because they sell out…read more Their other donuts are fantastic so you still can choose those options. What's great about that Is there's multiple fillings. So you can choose ones such as Bavarian cream or raspberry jelly, etc. The service is always exceptional and quick. If you choose to eat in the store, there's plenty of chairs and tables with the option of purchasing drinks like pop, coffee, including milk, which is extremely important when eating donuts. Another secret gem is their jalapeño cheddar sausage wrapped in a croissant. It's a must every time we go. This too sells out quickly so get there early.

We tried a glazed, apple fritter, & cinnamon twist. The twist was amazing! The glazed did not disappoint. The service was great, super friendly.

Craving locks on a bagel, I brought my son to a place he suggested. Seeing the sign on the counter…read moreI hoped we were in the right place. I ordered the traditional locks on an everything bagel with dill cream cheese, smoked salmon and a big slice of a spicy red onion. ($9.50). My son order the same but opted for a spicy jalapeño cheese bagel. After placing our order at the walk up counter we waited about 10 minutes for the delivery. The service was friendly but not overly attentive. But I have no valid complaints there, they just seemed distracted by something going on in the back. The restaurant itself has its nicely appointed areas while other areas that seem in disarray or maybe forgotten about. It's fully of bright sunshine with all the west facing windows. Even the menu on the wall needs some attention as it was partially edited by tape. It would seem like a fresh set of eyes could be helpful in the organization and cleanliness of the entire shop. We took our order to go and ate at home. Sadly, I didn't not take photos but I was completely underwhelmed by the build of the bagel sando, not much of any one ingredient. I actually opened it up to make sure there was anything in there. Unfortunately the main ingredient ended up being the slice of spicy, red onion. Overall I am giving 4 stars because the service was good, and even though the quantity for price is questionable the quality was good enough to earn a positive review. I will return for another go round, but would ask management to review proper pricing and portions. For your information , no portion of this review was written or edited by AI.
