What a charming shop! The staff were very friendly and efficient…read more My maple long john was incredibly fresh with a creamy frosting. 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.

It was our last day in Des Moines and I stopped by early morning to pick up a few things to bring…read morehome: 1) Pecan roll 2) Vanilla old-fashioned (2) 3) Chocolate old-fashioned (2) 4) Chocolate-glazed bavarian cream (2) 5) Blueberry cake donut (1) 6) Chocolate glazed cake donut (1) 7) Raspberry jelly (1) 8) Chocolate glazed cake donut with sprinkles (1) 9) Chocolate glazed yeast donut (1) We had a +6 hour drive home so I prepared an ice bag and insulated cooler bag to store the donuts. All of them held up for our drive. My personal favorites are the pecan roll, raspberry jelly, and blueberry cake. Interestingly, I noticed they have a sign for boba but I don't think it was available during the early morning hours. Some of the staff were just entering the store and preparing the boba as I was leaving around 9 am. And that's completely reasonable since most boba places aren't open until noon. Service was attentive and friendly. I had a few questions about some of the donuts and fillings and she was very helpful.

I got maple long john which is usually my fav but was a little let down I felt like the frosting was a little thin and bland. My husband got a mystery say old donut box. It had a couple chocolate cake donuts and a couple glazed in it. It was fun for him. He also got a sausage cheese jalapeño breakfast sandwich and it was comically large with like 5 or 6 patties in it. You could get one and share with at least two or three people for sure.

I need to go in to give you a better review of this place but so far I love everything I've had here. The champagne donut was probably my favorite!

Great service! got free doughnut bites!!!!!! amazing people!!!!!doufgnuts were super duper yummy tooread more

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.

Drove all the way from then south side to Ankeny for the delicious donuts per a FB food group post…read more These seem to be popular for their glazed donut. We tried a glazed, apple fritter, & cinnamon twist. The twist was amazing! The glazed did not disappoint. The service was great, super friendly. We went an hour before closing & they still had lots to choose from. We will definitely go back, worth the drive for sure! The inside is small but has seating for at least 10 guests I'd say. Milk was also available! Definitely check them out for your donut fix no matter where you're from!

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.

Wait at the counter for everything, and can choose to sit inside or take it to go. Friendly staff. This place was buzzing and busy each time I've been which I love to see at a local business!
