Been going there since I was eight awesome donuts awesome staff awesome customer service. Donuts are fresh and always delicious. It's exciting to find out its still open. I can't wait to get more donuts from them can't wait to see them again. read more

They have a sign that says best croissant sandwiches so I decided to see what that was about. Ham, bacon, egg, and cheese croissant was on point, Did not disappoint and the Thai tea is bomb not overly sweet like other places make it. Donuts are perfect as well, good flavor, not overly sweet, could eat a dozen by myself. Honestly if it weren't for me getting fat I'd probably eat there everyday and not get tired with all the options they have and how good everything is. Oh yea and customer service is awesome everyone is super friendly and can tell they care about the customers enjoying their experience/donuts/food. read more

Awesome donuts and simple delicious greasy breakfast sandwiches. Been coming here for 5 years. Awesome staff that's always kind and hospitable. read more

NOT KOLACHES! Granted they make good donuts. Very nice donuts. The apple and cherry fritters are fantastic. HOWEVER...If you are looking for an honest to goodness Czech Texas Kolache, keep going. They offer a sausage kolache and that's it. Having grown up with kolaches from West, TX (Village Bakery is better than Czech Stop, just sayin'), I've not found the real thing yet. Four stars for donuts, 0 for kolaches. read more

Decent coffee, good breakfast croissants and friendly service!! Can't really complain about anything.

If you do not love Rainbow Donuts you do-nut know what you are talking about.....yeah you can boo me. I know that fancy donuts are the new craze, but I love that this place makes classic, delicious, donuts with some fancy flavors thrown here and there. I believe this is why the place thrives and can keep their costs low. HOWEVER the maple bacon donut cannot be tamed. This is a must order. I have probably eaten every donut here, and I will say, you can't go wrong. I do suggest going earlier because you will definitely want a fresh donut. Not sure how else I can rave about Rainbow Donuts, so just go. OK? thanks. read more

One of the best spots to get doughnuts in the valley! Always fresh and always tasty. I'm a fan of the cereal-coated doughnuts, but boyfriend loves the maple-bacon doughnut. read more

HiHi Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm out of the closet! Yay! No more hiding who I really am! I'm a proud member of the Rainbow Donuts coalition. It's not a choice...not just a lifestyle selection (although the donut selection is, in fact, quite robust)...no, it's how I am constructed! OK, actually I'm bi...I enjoy the occasional "breakfast burrito", but if I'm pressed to choose...I'll take the hole and the "Old Fashioned Glazed" that surrounds said hole. That and a good cuppa. And that's one of the things that separates Rainbow from the rest...the coffee...outstanding Italian roast, well made and very inexpensive...with enough refills to take a bath in. And I would bathe in the coffee (and possibly the donut glaze) except for the inevitable "dust-up" that always occurs when I let my impulses run wild and free! Don't get me wrong...the donuts are terrific and the nice young lady behind the counter was almost as sweet as the apple fritters. I had a client meeting there this morning (I know, I spare no expense!), and my clients were just as charmed as I was with Rainbow...the great coffee, the terrific donuts and fritters and the pleasant service (not to mention free wi-fi for my meeting) all combine to make Rainbow Donuts a significant step above the rest. Most of all, it's the place where I can feel free to be my real, authentic self...out, loud and proud! And growing a little with each fritter. read more

Note to self - do not write anything but 5 star reviews to a place that you frequent because your picture is attached to profile... My original review, 3 stars thinking that the 'A-OK' 3-star designation was an affirmation. Of course I wander in this morning and I am firmly rebuffed...evidently being called adorable isn't good enough nor are all the other positives I mentioned - it's the 3 stars. So, ignoring the fact that there aren't any outside tables...ignoring the fact that within an hour of direct sunlight, the place heats up unbearably...Ignoring the fact that I sometimes get pan-handled outside...ignoring the fact that I sometimes have to hunt them down for a refill on my coffee...ignoring the infrequent times I've gone there to find them closed because the baker pulled a no-show the night before (less frequent these days)... The donuts are always good, the coffee is quite good and the women are indeed adorable...a 5 star update. Now Linda, please, can I get refills? ;-) read more

Amazing breakfast burritos! Service was really good and you can't go wrong with the donuts.

Oh, how I LOVE the donuts here! Seriously, the most amazingly fresh donuts you will ever eat. I have probably had every single variety offered, and still haven't found one that doesn't meet my donut-snob standard. My favorites are the pink-frosted sprinkle cake donut, cinnamon crumb in cake and raised form, and the maple bars. We have called ahead for large orders, which were always perfectly executed. I only wish that this spot was on my way to work... although I'm gaining weight just thinking about it. I'm ONLY taking off a star because their bathroom is seriously disgusting. Really. Don't go in there. EVER. But, ignoring that downside... this is the BEST donut shop in all of AZ! read more

There are seriously some mornings in my house where my family will look at eachother ...say, "Donuts?" and we all magically know that this donut craving can't be satiated by simply Dunkin. Though these mornings are few and far between because my family has more of a convenience over quality attitude, they do occur. My mother discovered Rainbow donuts because she works in Phoenix and before Dunkin had its viral takeover of Arizona, it was the only place to get donuts on the way to the office. As far as donuts go I honestly don't think there's a way that Rainbows donuts could be any better. Maybe if they were covered in diamonds and had reverse calories. Everything they have tastes fresh even if it's bought at closing time. The prices are so cheap that I wonder how they even stay in business. The employees are always super friendly. Convert your donut religion to Rainbow donuts today. See the light. Repent! read more

I was the office hero when I used to bring these in. Their chocolate dipped cake donuts are "The freaking bomb-digadus", as one friend explained. And their little donut holes... oh.... heaven. I often would get there when they were still warm and it was like getting warm fries - you just had to eat some on the car. They also will also have donuts you may not see other places, which is a nice. Allows you to go to the same place for monthly donut runs without picking up the same box of donuts each time. And did I mention how cheap they are? SO cheap. Well, cheap to your wallet, but definately not your waistline. read more

5 stars for the kolaches and the customer service! Sam the co-owner chatted it up with my boyfriend and I while we ate our kolaches at the counter. My boyfriend is from Texas and knows his Kolaches. We've noticed the sign on the sidewalk and finally made it in. They claim it is the ONLY place dishing out the Texas Kolaches (I'll stand by that claim --we've been looking for Kolaches for awhile now). They serve up spicy sausage, regular, and spicy ham & jalapeno - all served with cheese, yes please. If you have never had a kolache it is similar to a pig-in-a-blanket amped up on yumminess. They have an espresso machine and many donuts choices. I will be saving that experience for next time. Oh, and I also read someone's review on breakfast burritos - looking forward to that too. It's an older place that reflects its age. With a little sprucing up it could the cutest and best donut/kolache shop in town! read more

I hate leaving bad reviews. But I hope the businesses read them and make changes. I brought my daughter here to pick up some donuts and when it was time to pay I noticed the lady helping me still had her glove on. The receipt I had to sign was a little curly so she flattened it with her still gloved hand and handed me a pen with her gloved hand. It was strange because her other hand was not gloved and she never used it. Are the gloves used to protect her from me? Anyway as I was leaving I was praying she would take the glove off but instead she used that same glove to randomly touch and arrange the donuts on display. *sad face* read more

Every time I am in Arizona, I'd like to stop by this donut shop. (Yes it is that good if I am coming all the way from California!). The donuts are very good and fresh. I hear they make it every morning (finish before 3-4 am I think!) so they never sell over one-day old donuts. You can definitely taste the freshness : ). Customer service is very good, they always say hi and thank you which is very obsolete in many other donut shops we visited! We just had our wedding, if they were in LA we'd definitely have them cater a sweets bar. read more

This place is pretty good. Definitely beats dunkin and it has almost a cult like following with one of my dental professors. "Students, today we are graced with a special treat. Do not be ashamed to eat these donuts. They stand above the rest." Good? Yes. Enough to make an impact. Not dying to go back right now but then again I just finished eating the following (I probably should not think about eating for a while) -Glazed french cruller: best of that variety I have ever had. It completely melted in my mouth. -Glazed donut hole: unremarkable -Sprinkled vanilla cake: not a fan but I am a yeast girl at heart -Cherry frosted cake: quite good but never would have guessed was cherry flavored had I not checked the website -Buttermilk: rich, decadent, dreamy. I had never tried buttermilk before, but if you are looking for a donut that makes an impact, this is it. The buttermilk and french cruller would be my go to donuts next round but I want to try more....the apple fritter, raspberry jelly filled...so many donuts, too little time read more

Bacon doughnuts, need i say more! At $2 it is well worth it! It's like breakfast in a handy snack. Also regular fresh made doughnuts are only $1! I did my paper here no wifi but there were tables and an outlet. Lots of parking and a bathroom. Closes at 3 or 4pm read more

Have been stopping in for the past several weeks now since I moved to the area. Great place to stop for some donuts and a Bev. The Cherry raised donuts are amazing. I love their Thai tea as well. Service is wonderful and friendly every time I've come in. From donuts to Fritters, if you have a sweet tooth this is the place to stop on your way to work. read more

Drove out here for the kolaches. I'm from Texas and these things are spot on. Will definite make the 35 mike drive again for their kolaches.

This place has become part of my routine on weekends. Their doughnuts are incredible, light and fluffy and not too oily. They also make fabulous smoothies and breakfast sandwiches. Customer service is always 10/10! Make sure you show up early on weekends because they sell out! read more

We are traveling from out of state and we love trying hole in the wall places! Our kids loved the donuts and the Kolaches. Highly recommend stopping here and grabbing some yummy donuts! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! read more

The BEST fritters anywhere. Seriously! Apple is my favorite. I used to live in the neighborhood, then a crack-head jumped my wall and tried to steal my bike. I was so over living cheap and we moved. But as I sit here in Surprise in suburbia safeness and chain hell, craving a donut this morning, this location of Rainbow donuts is where I wish I could be. I also miss the sandwiches/Gyros from the Shell Station at Central and Dunlap-best Gyros too. But, I digress... Tried all the various donuts and loved them,but the fritters haunt me- cheap price was a bonus. For $5 we had Saturday morning covered for breakfast. Sigh, missing the donuts... read more

Good little donut shop with a large selection and good pricing. I have only been here on weekday mornings, so as the day goes on, I'm sure the selection dwindles. My favorite is the apple fritter. Like another yelper said, it's crispy on outside and soft on the inside with a ton of apples. I've also gotten the iced coffee (because I didn't want to make another stop). It was good, but for the price, I probably wouldn't get it regularly. Regular donuts $1.00 Fancy donuts $1.95 (I think....) Iced coffee $2.35 (or close to that....comes in large only) Don't quote me on the pricing, I'm going by memory and believe it or not, that's not always accurate. Easy to access of 7th st, plenty of parking, friendly service. read more

Delicious donuts. Everyone is so sweet who works there and with everything going on I was even able to place and order over the phone and they brought it out. Awesome service and even better donuts and coffee. Will be returning many more times read more

My absolute favorite donut shop. Always delicious, fast and reasonably priced. The Maple bars are my amazing and my favorite. Check out their Sandwiches and smoothies too, they are bomb. read more

Sorry kids... I don't get how this place has 4 1/2 stars. It's like a dunkin' donuts yet slightly more substantial. The espresso was meh, apple fritter underdone (read: raw/uncooked at the center) and I had one of them there Texas thingies that folks were raving about and I was under-whelmed. Typical fast food donut decor. The good news was the service was friendly and efficient. Best donut joints in my book? Whoo's donuts in Santa Fe, NM; Bob's donuts at the old Farmer's Market (by Fairfax), LA, CA; and the Donut Man in Glendora, CA. read more

This review is about the lady working the counter. It was an older asian lady. The donuts were fine. When I arrived I told the lady I needed a minute to decide what I wanted. She had already put one glove on. She started fronting the donuts then immediately went from touching the donuts to touching a rag nearby. She cleaned around the donut shelf using the gloved hand. I was really hoping she would change her glove when I was ready to order , but she didn't . She then touched my donuts with the gloved hand and i literally cringed inside . She then proceeded to ring me up at the register using the gloved hand. Immediately after she went back to the donuts , fronting them all. I had to say something . I suggested she change her glove , and she literally asked me why !! She must not have her food handlers card or care about hygiene at all. read more

Stopped in here and got two donuts and a carmel latte. The donuts were pretty good as was the latte. This building looks pretty old. There is ample parking and the staff was friendly. Good enough I would come back but nothing out of the ordinary. read more

I've been to this location 2 times. While their maple bacon donuts are VERY delicious, both times I have gone to get a Ham and Cheese Croissant. It's right there on their menu- (http://www.rainbowdonutscafe.com/croissants.html). Yet both times they didn't have any. So this time I asked "Do you still make them", and her response was "Every once in a while". WHAT!? Note to Rainbow: Don't put something on your menu that you don't regularly serve. I won't be heading back even though the maple bacon donuts are yummy. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. It's a solid donut shop, with really friendly staff and great service. I came her for the kolaches though. If you've never had a kolache before, you'll probably really enjoy these. They are not Texas kolaches however. The bread is almost right, but they are just too big. The sausage is about the size of a hot dog. It just messes up the bread to meat ratio. It's off. By all means, if this is your neighborhood stop in for donuts and a chat with the staff. They're great. The bacon maple donut was delicious. It's not worth a trip accross town to get your kolache fix though. read more

One of the user photos shows trays filled with donuts. It must have been staged by the owners. When I was there, there were a few each of several varieties with a lot of the trays empty. The donut I ordered was okay but very generic and not too fresh. The coffee was the same. For such a large place I was surprised that there weren't any real pastries, only fried donuts. The place is old and seems to have a ready flow of customers who know exactly what they want when they come in. It was staffed by two attractive young people, she took our order and seemed a little cold and he never looked at us although we were the only ones there. Oddly, when we got up to leave both became very friendly and wished us a good day with big smiles. Maybe they are happier when people leave than when people come? Remember, Yelp's guidelines for the rating system is that 3-stars means A-OK, which is not a bad rating, only that there was nothing hugely bad or great about Rainbow Donuts Café. read more

i don't even know what to say, i don't know how you mess up just a regular glazed donut. the donuts were flat, and could barley be considered glazed with how bare it was. felt like i was just eating a big piece of bread. you'd be better off with the bosa around the corner, very dissatisfied. read more

This place is a real disappointment . Ypu don't smell fresh donuts I enter, which is s must for a donut shop. Thumbs down

Better than Krispy Kremes sugar-and-air donuts, Dunkin's more cakey donuts, overly greasy grocery store donuts, and Bosa's lower quality. Haven't tried their coffee or other options, so I can't speak to those. But like some people mentioned, the availability isn't always the best. Those maple-bacon ones are always gone before I can get to them! read more

The place is a little run down but very clean. The friendly Asian man and woman (owners?) and were friendly. They didn't have a very wide variety at 11 on a Sunday, but I bought a ham and cheese croissant, glazed donut holes, and a frozen hot chocolate. Ham and cheese croissant: It was okay. The woman behind the counter "heated it up" but it was in a microwave, not a high speed oven or toaster that would have made it less squishy and more flakey. Sliced ham and cheese were grocery store quality. Donut holes: Tasted a tiny bit stale, but still good. I prefer BoSa's in Chandler though. I imagine these are fantastic when warm. I'm going to save some and try pop them in the microwave later. Frozen hot chocolate: Very heavy on the cocoa powder, and served without whipped cream. Could've used some more sweetness and a creamy vanilla flavor in it. Added a couple pumps of sugar free peppermint syrup at home to wake it up and balance the bitterness of the cocoa. I've yet to find a FHC that can beat Dairy Queen's, sadly. Rainbow has a very convenient location with easy parking, though their hours are somewhat limited. I'd rather support them than a chain, and they're a step above my other local choice of Bashas', so I would be back if I need (or want) any donuts. read more

Had the spicy kolaches not spicy but a boatload of flavor, they have a special 4 for $10. I would have loaded up on them but I got the last 2. Great buttermilk bar, caramel bar, Boston cream, lemon filled, chocolate coconut. Come here and leave happy. read more

Very tasty , not greasy, specialty donut, only seen in New York City. Rare found in Phoenix! read more
