Some of the best donuts I have eaten. Taste fresh and very delicious. Good service as well.

How much I wanted to love this spot! I love small small businesses especially.... ones serving donuts. Sadly I had a very off putting visit today. The lady who was at the store was loudly talking to someone on the phone and did not break a stride while she was helping me and kept her conversation going loudly. There were multiple times I had to check if she was telling me something. Given her focus was elsewhere she ending up giving me different donuts than the ones I asked for. By this time, I just wanted to leave and just took it and left. This is one way to make a customer feel unwelcome. Perhaps it was tainted by the service but I found the donuts stale and listless. Sad. read more

I always have seem to have a drama-filled experience at Puffin Donuts (sorry no more bagels today for the bfast sandwich, none of this or that, language confusion, etc) and their breakfast sandwiches are humble and mid, but the donuts are really good, which is really important for a local donut shop. My wife likes their maple bar and their buttermilk bar in particular- and they have a fluffy layered little donut hole that blew our minds. The branding at Puffin Donuts is also exceptional. Lots of personality for a little hole-in-the-wall donut shop. Despite the drama, I'm a fan! read more

Go here. Trust me. Food- amazing and freshly made. Drink- delicious and not watered down. Customer service- excellent. Their donuts are fire. I ordered a crueller, selected any flavor (maple, glaze, or chocolate), they sent me a chocolate one; as well as a medium hot matcha, beef bahn mi, and on top of all that they sent me fresh donut holes and an extra crueller. The cruellers and donut holes are so good, they taste no more than 20 minutes old i swear. They have that delicious sugar coated outside and inside are fluffy clouds that melt on your mouth. Delicious. Their bang mi options were beef, pork, ham, and chicken. The marinade is really good and the meat has a lot of flavor. The pickled veggies are fresh and make this especially good for summer days by offering the cool crunch and pickled flavors. The jalapeños I added were spicy just how I like. They offer pate but I have never tried it so I did not get it. The matcha was really good too, it tastes much stronger and just more...real? Thank other places. I think they use a good one here. My experience with their customer service was so nice. They didn't have the protein I ordered for my sandwich but accommodated me with a different one instead of just cancelling my order which I'm so grateful for. They also sent a bag of delicious donut holes and an extra crueller ! Such good food and sweet people. I will be ordering again. read more

came in the early afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all. i ordered half a dozen jelly-filled donut holes and a hot vanilla latte. the vanilla latte was brewed fresh. it was a bit watery in terms of the espresso flavor. i couldn't taste any vanilla flavor either. the donut itself was fluffy and soft. the jelly tasted a bit too artificial. i'd come back to try the other donut flavors! there's not much seating inside, but a great place to get treats for events. read more

My friend wanted something extra for lunch today, so she went by Puffin Donuts as we had been wanting to try the drinks there. I ended up getting a tiger milk tea, less sweet and an ube donut. The tiger milk tea was okay - sweet, but not a lot of tea flavor. The boba pearls are harder and barely have any flavor. The ube donut has good flavor - crumbly and cakey. There's also a hint of some other fruity flavor that I can't quite place. The donut shop itself is small, but they had a huge variety of donuts. The workers were very friendly and efficient at their jobs. I would probably go back for the other donuts and the service, but not the drinks. read more

Friendly ladies. The old-fashioned glazed and maple were yummy. The cakes and raised all looked tempting, especially the custard-filled bars. Be warned: Let the fritters set if you get them fresh. When hot, each flavorless bite was an explosion of grease. I hoped it was just the ends, but the whole thing was oily. I squeezed the rest out (I included a photo of the grease puddles from half a fritter), and, for the first time in my life, I didn't finish a donut. But after a day in the airtight donut storer (microwave) they were much better. But- hey- go judge for yourself. Maybe I'm just fritter critical (or frittical). read more

Excellent Donuts! Very tasty and very fresh! They have mochi donuts too! Such a chewy goodness treat! Service is wonderful and very friendly! The ambiance is a donut shop, very nice inside and comfortable to look at which donuts you're gonna buy. Wonderful place to go!! read more

Omgoodness, the donut holes are really light and airy! Definitely lighter than most places. I'll come here again. Service: the short lady with a long braid and kids is a sweet heart, the other lady is mean read more

This is a clean shop and they had a great display of donuts for a Sunday morning. We ordered a few types of donuts, I had the maple glazed. I found the donut to be a bit chewy and thick. We also tried the stuffed donut holes, cream and jam, and those were very tasty. So this is a bit of a mixed review, but I am willing to go back and give them another try. read more

Absolutely the best maple cruller I have ever had! I have no idea how they made it so light and fluffy. The maple glaze has more maple flavor and less sugar than most as well. They also gave me a few glazed donut holes which reminded me of Stan's donuts, but lighter and less oily. Don't miss this new little donut shop! read more

Came specially to try the Ube donut and did not leave disappointed. Located in a shopping center with lots of parking, there were tons of options in the late morning when I arrived. In addition to the ube donut I got my favorite, a maple old fashioned. The ube donut was phenomenal, the perfect amount of ube flavor and super soft and fresh! They also have boba to wash down your donuts with. Service was super friendly and I'll definitely be back again after realizing how close to home this place is. read more

I was very impressed that Puffin Donuts was open on a Monday morning. I dropped in to celebrate something huge and figured it was way too early in the day for alcohol (like champagne toast.) The woman eagerly and cheerfully welcomed me and I thoroughly enjoyed a donut with vanilla icing inside if it and a cup of coffee that was so good that it needed no cream or sugar. I got a maple coconut cake donut for my husband which he liked. read more

Very delicious donuts. Went at 3pm and the donuts tasted so fresh. Chocolate glazed tasted like good chocolate vs the normal donut store variety. Tried the donut holes which were good but not as good as the donuts. I will be back. It brings back memories of going to sk donuts which used to be next door and also had great donuts. Service was good with a smile. I read more

Their cronuts- a combination of yummy doughnut and layers of sweet flakey croissant- is hands down rhe best pastry I have ever eaten!

We were eagerly awaiting the opening, but today were disappointed on our first visit. The donuts are $2 each, but $ 19.95 per dozen? (Maple Lead donuts are $12.95 per dozen.) The donut holes here are $3 per dozen and filled donut holes are $7.50 per dozen ? How does a tiny squirt of raspberry jelly double the price ? What ? The Taro boba was watered down and the boba wasn't soft & chewy but hard inside like it was old and had been refrigerated. We got 2 boba drinks, 1 apple fritter, 1 dozen filled donut holes and it came out to $25. It's not a repeat for us. read more

Great donuts, we got sugar coated, old fashion, chocolate filled with creme gel and strawberry filled. The ladies are nice. The coffee was ON or OFF. Regular or Decaf, LOL. That could see a bump up. read more

Puffin Donuts is open, and bangin! Ok, well maybe not quite 'bangin', but boy am I glad to have a neighborhood donut shop open again, ever since the unfortunate demise of SK Donuts in that same shopping plaza. I just took a quick trip over there to pick up a dozen for $20. Nice selection of your basics, and they have some fancier stuff beyond the basics, but I'm there for the glazed/cake/plain donuts. Fantastic, freshly made every morning, and the lady I spoke with was very nice. Highly recommend. I've been seeing this place teasing me for what seems like YEARS, and they finally opened two months ago. read more

Love the donut variety and flavor just mouth watering. Costumer service also very good, ladybus always happy and ready to serve.

Linda is as sweet as the donuts! Always in a good mood, I can't wait to see what she does with this place. Great customer service and quality items. More coming soon. Definitely will be back! TRY THE UBE DONUT, so yummy Thank you Linda & team read more

The staff was kind, the service was great, and the food was delicious. Everyone we saw walk out of the store had a smile on their face.

High quality donuts all around. Sparkling clean store. All donuts were excellent, but being able to choose from FOUR different old fashioned donuts (glazed, maple glazed. Chocolate glazed, unglazed/plain) was a treat. Glazed old fashioned and chocolate old fashioned will bring me back again. The sugar raised was also first rate. read more

Lady serving our donuts had an attitude and didn't get my order right- on top of that the donuts were poor quality in my opinion felt very heavily saturated in oil and not light and fluffy.. They also got my drink order wrong - I asked for no boba and still got boba in my drink, I hate boba. Everything didn't taste good to me and my kid, it wasted money. Wouldn't recommend for donuts for sure. Otherwise the place is cute and bright but tiny(not a problem), the smaller lady was very sweet. They have tables outside to sit and enjoy. read more

I'm back! These amazing owners are running an underrated business. Best croissants, light, and perfectly sweet donuts, at such a reasonable price. read more

Donuts are excellent. Good variety. All the standards. All perfectly executed. The service is off the charts friendly. All of the front of house people are very engaging and kind. The decor is cheerful and the origin story of the business really draws you in and makes you root for their success. Bottom line, it is an extremely welcome addition to the neighborhood and has already become a Saturday morning standard for our family. read more

Really great donuts! I try not to eat donuts often, but this place is now my favorite spot when I need to indulge. The donut holes were still warm. read more

We went to Puffin Donuts on their very first day (soft) open last Sunday. The family behind these fluffy, cloud-like donuts has waited long enough!!! And so has our neighborhood! Absolutely delicious. See you soon! read more

Very happy to see a locally-owned business and coffee/donut shop open up here, and I was very pleased to see the variety in donuts & teas! I got the Peach Lemon Green tea with pearls -- both the sweetness level (I asked for low sugar) and pearls were great -- at a pretty good price! The employees there, Alice and Lina, were super kind and helpful with recommendations. I for sure hope to try the Ube donut next time. Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Donuts are overpriced and not any different than any other donut places. Paid $14 for 5 regular donuts. They don't have slush drinks, only milk tea or smoothies nor do they sell any breakfast sandwiches. Not sure what's the fuss all about! read more

Friendly staff. Great donuts and crossiants. Small space so take out only. Always a line!
