It's a decently run spot. Tho, I do believe the vast majority of the establishment is looking a bit...outdated. They have a solid array of donuts ranging from bacon maple to maple bars. An ample amount of glazed donuts were offered first after asking the gentlemen manning the cash register. I tried the 2 different cake donuts and a maple bar after gazing over the donut eye candy. It wasn't very good. Very dry and the amount of sugar used was to a level I could feel it attacking my teeth The place is a reminder of the past with much of its nostalgia beginning to look run-down, reaching the end of its natural life cycle. If they did a tech-refresh of the place, I do belive they could attract more foot traffic. read more

The glazed donuts are so amazing. Fresh, light and airy. So good. Apple fritters are yummy too. :)

Love this place. Rainbow donuts -8714 n 7th St. I have to say, our family has tried other donut places and nothing compares to Rainbow donuts. They have the best testing donuts. They have a great selection of donuts to choose from. Our families favorite is glazed donut holes, tiger tail and glazed bear claw. The donuts are all fresh and delicious. Go and try Rainbow Donuts for your self. You will love them read more

The staff is always so nice! My favorite local donut shop for a dozen donuts, quick breakfast, or a cup of coffee.

On the quest for a delicious donut, I stopped by here in the afternoon. I purchased a chocolate, chocolate glazed cake donut. After my sticker shock ($1.25 for one donut!) I sunk my teeth into this thick, fresh donut. Oh My Gosh! absolutely melted in my mouth! This proved to be well worth the money. The donut was about 2" think, moist and tasty. The donuts in the grocery stores are awful, and on other place has good donuts, but I think Rainbow tops the list! Try it!, you'll like it! read more

If I were to stop and get a donut here..I am not saying I have, just if I did ..I have to say they remind me of the ones I love from So Cal. They would I am guessing, have that light greasiness combined with sweetness. Probably they are lightly iced .I bet if I went there I would really like an old fashioned one. Just if I went there. read more

These donuts are the best ever! I don't care if they shorten my life 5 minutes...it's worth it! You can taste every light and creamy, fluffy layer when you bite down into a chocolate long john...with just the right amount of delightful chocolate on top! Try a buttermilk bar...crispy on the outside lite and tasty in the middle...there are no better in this town! O boy do I want one right now! read more

Donuts were excellent and i will visit again for those...however the coffee i ordered was awful. Tasted burnt. If you are a donut shop.. you prob should get coffee right..just sayin read more

Got in line with my daughter when we observed the lady in front of us returning a few donuts. Expecting the donuts to go in the trash per food regulation, I walked out after seeing them being placed back with the other donuts to be sold (again). read more

On a whim while missing home, I did a Yelp search for Texas Kolaches and Rainbow Donuts is what I got. It's not close to my house, being in Phoenix, but luckily, it is close to my new job. I don't make it up here nearly often enough, but when I do, it's always worth it! Not only are they the only place in Phoenix with Texas Kolaches (that sign isn't lying...I can't find them anywhere else), they also have a huge selection of donuts! My personal favorites are the spicy sausage kolache and chocolate frosted buttermilk donuts. I've tried the bacon maple donut, and it was good, but it really needed more bacon (is there such a thing as ever enough bacon?). Other winners are of course, the sprinkle donut, the cake donuts, and some kind of chocolate cake donut with a honey glaze. Really, I don't think I've ever had a bad donut here. The woman behind the counter is always friendly and patient with me as I take forever deciding what I want (I always go in for 1 or 2 and come out with 6 or 7). There are a few Rainbow Donuts sprinkled around town, but they're all independently owned. I've never tried the others, so just to be safe, you better just come to this one. :) read more

Always fresh, and always a hit when I bring them in to work. The cream filled donuts are wonderful.

I just don't like the fact that the donuts are not in a closed case. As soon as you walk in the donuts are just out on a shelf behind them and yes I know Dunkin' Donuts does the same thing but ewwww. Why do I want my donuts breathing the same air as everybody else? At least make an effort to make it look like they're separated and fresh, it just makes me uneasy. Also this location does not have sandwiches like the other locations and the customer service was just okay... read more

Bacon maple donut is unreal, seriously off the radar. Was in love at first bite then had another. Place is clean and staff super friendly.

I stop by here to get my Texas kolaches ever chance I could, they make it so good with either spicy sausage, regular sausage, or ham& cheese. So so sooooooooooooo good (haven't found any other place that have Texas kolaches). Their ham&cheese croissant are so darn good also. Lastly, can't forget the donuts. They are all so yummy. Great service also, the young ladies working here is so polite and helpful. read more

Tasty donuts in a convenient location. I've had their coffee rolls and other regular donuts and all of them are good.

It is dangerous to live this close to a Rainbow donuts. I have been here more times in the last two weeks than I am proud to admit, but I have tried a variety of items: - bacon maple donut: delicious, amazing, definitely recommend - apple fritter: incredible, fluffy in the middle, crispy on huge outside, chunks of fresh apple, yum! - ham, cheese and jalapeño croissant: sinfully delicious, not too greasy, not overfilled, just right - spicy sausage and cheese kolache: so tasty! Sausage with great flavor, puffy pastry, gooey cheese - delicious I would (obviously) recommend any of the items above. Can't wait to try the cherry fritter. :-) The staff at this location are super friendly. read more

I live nowhere near here (thank God!) but have had their donuts from co-workers bringing them in and have been in store. I recently tried the Texas kolache, which is a breaded sausage and cheese pastry. You can get it spicy or not, I chose for the not spicy warmed up. It was delicious! As far as donuts, their glazed is addicting. I also got an iced chai, which was very flavorful and delicious. Restaurant inside has bar seating and a few tables. Staff is also really friendly. Overall winner here!! read more

It doesn't matter which doughnut(s) you choose, they are all incredible. There is no comparison. Rainbow doughnuts are addicting.

So tasty! We went to three Rainbow Donuts locations in one day looking for their famous Maple Bacon donut. The first two locations didn't have it, but we of course tried some donuts and they are the softest donuts I've ever had, and this was at 11 in the morning, so they'd been sitting a while, and still so soft! We finally decided on the third place (this location) to see if they had the donut we were looking for. Her response, "no, but we can make some for you, when will you be here and how many would you like?" What?? That's amazing service. And the donut lived up to the hype completely! Definitely will return, soft and delicious donuts! read more

These donuts are awesome so fresh! Highly recommend the fritters and cereal doughnuts.

The maple bacon doughnut was tasty, but the cherry fritter blew. my. mind. My iced coffee was decent as well. I anticipate returning to rainbow doughnuts! read more

I didn't get in early enough to get a better selection, but they made up the delicious maple bacon ones for me that had been recommended to me. Yum! And they open at 4. By the way. That is 4 AM read more

When you open the door you are walking into a portal to a magical place. I recommend the cream filled, they slice them in half and smear a thick layer of cream in between, real cream; not that Boston cream (custard) crap. The maple bacon donuts is amazeballs. Everything I've tried is heavenly and cheap. And oh - the croissant sandwiches are delicious and half the size of your head. Support local :) read more

Great donuts, pass on the kolache though. Very fresh and lots of filling in the filling donuts! A fave in the area.

Good selection, decent prices, pretty good donuts. Worst iced coffee I've ever tried in my life, though!!

We were in town from out of state and decided to stop and buy some donuts. The donuts are quite pricey compared to dunkin donuts and aren't very much better in my opinion. I asked for a iced matcha latte, which had powder lumps all over it and was not very good either, not worth the $5 for a cup. The asian man at the counter wasn't nice either, overall horrible experience and will not come back ever again. read more

Rainbow donuts is the best! They have honest to God Texas Kolaches. We're talking REAL KOLACHES people. The owners are so sweet and welcoming. Amazing. Super inexpensive. Delicious, simple coffee. Come early because this place is amazing and sells out SUPER fast. It's worth it. read more

If I were to ever get hooked on crack... I would want my crack to be these amazing donuts! They are delicious and addicting.

5 stars all of the way! The cute girl behind the counter recommended the maple bacon donut. It was interesting and not bad by any means but it wasn't for me. The apple fritter on the other hand!!!!! It was amazing. I recently moved to Phoenix and have been looking for a good donut shop like I had at home. I haven't even been able to find a good cake donut in this town. I have been settling for dunkin donuts, safeway or frys crappy selection. I brought donuts in for the office and they were talked about all day. I have a feeling I will be stopping by very soon to pick up more office goodies. read more

Great donut shop to stop in and pickup some donuts for the office. The staff is always very nice and quickly puts together random dozens of donuts upon request. read more

THEY HAVE KOLACHES!!! Delicious, perfect savory kolaches, along with the nicest staff ever! I review on Yelp quite a bit and I am just in love with this little shop. I drive here from Goodyear every weekend. So worth it. read more

We have purchased donuts to go here many times (try the cinnamon doughnut). However, we stopped here for some breakfast after church. My wife and I had a breakfast sandwich with egg, bacon, and cheese. Truly delicious. And a cinnamon roll. So much better than Fry's across the street! Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that they charge for coffee refills. read more

I came in on an early Friday morning to buy a dozen and a half of donuts for my co- workers. The man behind the counter found it odd I order such an amountapparently, by the way he repeated my order. In my case 1 dozen would have been too little, 2 dozen too many and I didn't want to waste any. That alrady made me feel uncomfortable. Just fulfill whatever order you get, I am customer. It was my first time here, after many, many drive by's. He asked me what flavors and suggested to make a mix, I didn't have a preference, as I just liked an assortment. Again I was frowned upon. Just give me your bestselling flavors...what's the problem. Well, I guess it was once and never again. The donuts were fresh tasting, but the service was far beyond friendly. To bad, you could have earned a new customer. read more

Had to introduce our OH-IO group out for our wedding to the Maple Bacon Donuts...AMAZING!!!

Great donuts. I think they are just a slight step below BoSa, but they are very good.

Love these donuts! I can never buy just one donut because they all look Sooooo good! Needs a shop in the East valley.

We stopped by after lunch at Los Reyes de la Torta. Since it was really close to closing time we didn't really have much of a selection to choose from. We got a bunch of chocolate bars, glaze, and some others. $6 for one dozen. The lady was really nice and patient while we decided on the donuts we wanted in our dozen. Wish we came a little earlier so we could choose from the larger selection. read more

Two words: Texas Kalaches. Haha! We also tried the Maple Bacon Donut and it was surprisingly good (I couldn't eat a whole one, but its good!). I wish it wasn't so far away, though! read more

I liked Rainbow Donuts. They had a fair selection of donuts that appeared to be made on the premises. The coffee was fine. Not a lot of seating, but the morning I was there most people got take out; so, we didn't have a hard time snagging one of the three booths (there are two are three small tables as well). They have free Wi Fi which I really appreciated now that I often read the morning news"paper" on a screen. The service was OK, though I don't think the polite young woman behind the counter had had her coffee yet. They were out of whipped cream donuts when I got there which was very disappointing, but I enjoyed the ones I had (chocolate chocolate cake, raspberry jelly, half a glazed donut). I'd definitely go back next time I'm in Phoenix, and I'd get there early to try one of the whipped cream donuts. read more

Cheap! Delicious donuts! It reminds me of the donut shops they have all over Southern California. My girlfriend got one filled with whipped cream (not custard like a Boston creme, but actual whipped creme). Open from 4am til 7pm! Not fancy and definitely a "sometimes" food choice, but perfect for what it is. read more
