    My motto still holds up......The Center of a Donut is 100% fat free.... Yup, Ima keep on believing that I just need to eat til I get to the center and I'm fat free!!! Pastries, Donuts, a big weakness of mine, along with milkshakes, soft serve.....Taking a trek from Bellevue to Puyallup is not a short journey especially with highways always under construction/blocked/closed creating nightmare traffic. I am glad to report Happy Donuts made the journey worth it! Like so many other reviews, I agree, fresh, fluffy, delicious. A wonderful storefront, nice decor, and attentive staff. It an easy 5 star, well worth the drive from Bellevue. Just glad its not near me otherwise it would be at minimum an every other day visit, even if the center is fat free, I need to always watch my figure. NOTE: I don't believe this is the same Happy Donuts in Kent or Des Moines? So to be very CLEAR I am talking about the Happy Donuts in Puyallup.

    We were excited to try these donuts based off my Daughter's recommendation. These did not disappoint. They are very fresh & good . They had a good selection & we went later in the day .We tried the maple bar & chocolate donut . Prices are good . They are super friendly . Yummy !

    This place has the BEST donuts! They always have a bit of a crowd but it's worth the short wait for them. They are fluffy, fresh and delicious. The shop is small and cute with a counter full of all kinds of tasty donuts. If you're looking for really fantastic donuts you have to try Happy Donuts!

    We arrived late in the morning so the donut selection was minimal. Only cake style donuts left. Which is fine, because I like this style. Excellent for dipping in coffee. Even a couple of days later. We selected 2 couple each: plain, chocolate and vanilla frosted and sugar covered varieties plus two apple fritters. There were a fair amount of apple fritters available. They also had cake style in peanut topped and coconut topped still available. There is a good sized parking lot with several spaces behind the building. Inside there are a few tables for enjoying your donut and beverage. They serve coffee drinks and have a cooler for cold beverages. Even at our late arrival time there was a small line with four staff members manning the counter. Staff were polite and efficient and the guest area tidy and clean.

    They were open at 2:50pm but they had no donuts at all. Sad. Not happy. Sure, it was late for a donut shop but flashing neon OPEN signs? Really?

    Miss all the donuts shops that lined almost every neighborhood in SoCal. Seeing and eating at this place brings me home. It's next to the KFC and has a decent amount of parking. I felt very safe coming here midday and the store was clean and nice (I mention this because I went to another donut shop in Tacoma before which was very good too but kinda sketch or what one might say has "character" lol). Greeted immediately upon entry by cheery nice workers. I got a raised, cake, and old fashioned donut to try the selection of donut styles, plus a ham and cheese croissant. The sugar raised and cake donut tasted not too sweet (a positive in my book) and seemed fresh, meaning a little crispy on the outside, but moist and fluffy or creamy on the inside). However, the winner today was the old fashioned (my husband ate it all before I could take a photo). The old fashioned was very good, even with no icing it was delectable - perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy and flavorful on the inside. Outside the donut world, the ham and cheese croissant hit a home run. A good amount of ham, a little cheese, and a very nicely flaky, buttery but not too moist croissant outer. Prices are pretty good. Just under $5 for the savory croissant and a little over $1 for the donuts. I really want to come back to try their cinnamon rolls, scones, and boba, which all are decently priced too. Other notes: they take credit card, there are a few seats along the glass wall, and you can call in your order for pickup.

    Maple bars are spongy and soft and delicious.

    So far the Apple Fritters rock! Maple Bars are really good. But the Raspberry filled donuts are ... quite honestly the best I've ever had!

    Great classic donut shop. Coffee is good too. It seems they don't serve raised donuts, but their crueler is delish.

I tried them in the past apparently because I have photos associated to that visit (even bought a dozen). I obviously didn't remember until I started writing this review. First the location is pretty easy to reach. Small strip mall store front off Portland Ave. I walked in and there were two people ahead of me but no seating and hardly room to view the selection. There is a plastic COVID screen still up and pictures of people who have stolen from them. The selection of donuts is decent and apparently on the weekends there are speciality fritters. The owner operators are kind and so helpful (high praises!). I ordered one blueberry donut and one banana fritter. Both appeared to be well cooked and scrumptious. However, each of the donuts were over fried and tasted like old grease. The blueberry cake was full of blueberries but no real blueberry taste. The fritter was soaked in grease and no banana flavor. Sadly this is not on my list to try again.

There was some inventory overflow and no seats taken but it's a homie spot. The variety of donuts on display did not fill the case completely but the menu showed a vast variety. I didn't see any blueberry cake (top 3 in donuts I love) so I chose one I've never heard of - vanilla coconut custard bar. I also love a good coconut donut and who can ever pass up a custard filled bar?! Not me! Typical bar donut but topped with vanilla icing & coconut flake stuffed with vanilla custard. First bite was delectable and sweet. I plowed through that donut in just a few greedy bites and wish I had ordered more. Next time around I will give the old fashioned and a cake donut a try.

We got a maple bar, apple fritter, and a scone of sorts. The maple bar was fine. The Apple fritter only tasted of grease/oil and was quite dense. The scone was the worst, it was almost burnt... like that place where it tastes bitter like burnt but is a dark brown. Both the fritter and the scone mostly ended up in the trash. This was such an unfortunate visit and perhaps an off day.
