I'm a Dunkin patron, but this place has a much better donut and food selection. If it was closer to my office, I'd be here every day. read more

Rainbow Donuts Cafe and Deli - Donuts Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Best Doughnuts in Phoenix but they can't seem to figure out supply and demand. If you don't get their by 9:00 am on Sunday chances are their will be no Doughnuts left. Might be a good idea to make at least 1/3 more product and hold back some for the crowd that doesn't get up between 5 - 7am on Sunday. read more

A small local donut cafe. They have a pretty large selection of your standard donuts, nothing totally unique, but you will likely find what you're in the mood for. In addition to the donuts is a pretty good selection of deli sandwiches. There are at least 4 different types of coffee, and an assortment of flavoring too add to it. read more

I have been to other Rainbow Donut shops and loved them. This experience was not what I expected. I ordered a doughnut and small coffee which came to $4.54. First, this seemed higher priced than I remember but then the girl proceeds to get my coffee. I asked for coffee creamer but instead, she gets out a pitcher and tries to pour creamer into the cup herself. Apparently, all she did was put in a few drops. So, coffee with no cream. All the while she is sniffling and wiping her NOSE! If she is not well, she should stay home! Then people that apparently worked there or were related to one or more employees came in and started a very loud conversation in an Asian language with the employees behind the counter. It was really obnoxious, so I tossed out the coffee left forgetting to ask why my doughnut and coffee cost so much. Overall, this experience was a disaster. read more

These are the BEST donuts that I have found in the valley. They have a happy hour on Monday and Tuesdays, though I forget what time. However even without happy hour pricing their prices are really reasonable. THey do charge extra for orders under $3 with a debit/credit card, so be sure to order at least half a dozen. They also have a cafe like feel, serving more than just donuts- sandwiches, etc. Nice seating area allows you to enjoy whatever delicious treat you have chosen. Be sure to try their pink glazed donuts.. bet you cant have just one! read more

We tried out this place for Father's Day. My father in law loves pastries and fortunately we found some yummy ones at this place. The only bummer was that they didn't have any turnovers or jelly filled croissants as the menu said. But everything we got was delicious. Will definitely go again :) read more

Incredibly kind people!! My dad and i came here after a morning of hiking in Phoenix and they were so polite and helpful. Their donuts were amazing and melted in your mouth. Breakfast sandwich was pretty damn good too. If i lived here this would be my regular breakfast spot! read more

Very good cafe! We just moved to Phoenix and have been looking for a breakfast place that is quick and affordable. The breakfast burritos were awesome, and we normally aren't donut people, but the long johns were worth it. We are very excited to try their lunch times. read more

I'm so happy we found this place. The donut holes are amazing! Exactly how I like them! The iced coffee is great and I love the variety of syrups available. This place reminds me of the donut shops I grew up around in the bay area! We plan on being regulars here! read more

Oh, Rainbow Donuts... I love you. Passionately, unabashedly LOVE you. There isn't a better donut in town - chains like Dunkin Donuts don't come close. Every single flavor is fried to perfection with the perfect amount of glaze. Mmmmhmmm. Delish. read more

This small doughnut shop has some real high quality doughnuts. The verity was great and the service was very good. The coffee was limited in choices but that's ok because they had some good strong brews there. The doughnuts were soft and sweet perfectly fried and well displayed. As I mentioned the place is pretty small most will want to take their treats to go but we sat and enjoyed ours there because we were heading back home 4 hours north.I enjoyed stopping in for some breakfast. read more

Donuts were fresh & EVERYTHING others mentioned in previous reviews. Service was friendly & attentive. I am not sure if it was the time of day or just day of the week (late Saturday) Most of the menu choices I was interested in ordering were not available such as: eggplant panini or veggie grilled sandwich. Nice clean place. I will be back. read more

Incredible donuts. Nothing too fancy, no nouveau-chic gastronomique donuts (well, maybe a bacon topped donut, but limited), just all around solid, tasty, light, fresh donuts. Krispy Kreme and DD doesn't hold a candle to these. Highly recommended! read more

I come here every Friday to get donuts for my staff at work. The family are friendly and remember regulars. Everyone is fretted with a smile. The donuts are fresh, made on site. But the sandwiches and other food items are well prepared and delicious as well. Comfortable atmosphere, family friendly, well worth the stop. read more

Freshly made donuts with some love. Shopping here takes me back to when I was a kid and my grandmother and I would go to the bakery and pick out a dozen donuts for breakfast. There's soul here and buying small business and local is always better than large and corporate. They also serve a sandwich special for $7.99 that I'll try next time I'm in the area for lunch. Can't wait to go back. read more

They were very nice about doing a custom order of solar eclipse looking doughnuts. Party guests loved them! Thank you!

Perfect for breakfast! They have a vast selection of donuts and other pastries, not to mention sandwiches, burritos, croissants, and more! I love that they have such a variety - it makes coming here an easy decision and the food is so good! read more

This place is awesome! I was actually looking for a place that served boba drinks and this is one place that happened to popped up on my phone screen. They serve various types of boba drinks and many various type of yummy tasting donuts! This place is closed to work so I like to stop by afterwards to grab a quick snack! The employees here are extremely friendly. A+ for their commitment in providing great customer service. I recommend trying the honeydew boba smoothie, the egg & cheese burrito, the thai tea and of course! All of the donuts!!!! ;) yum! read more

New to the area so I decided lookup a donut shop. This place had a 4 1/2 stars so we decided to give it a shot. Bought six donut holes, two glaze, and one glaze twist. The donuts were soft, but had a bit of stale taste . Definitely not worth my $4.35. read more

The freshest donuts and yummiest sandwiches. The prices are low and the quality is great! I've brought multiple boxes of donuts to my work and everyone loves it. My coworkers always ask "are those from Rainbow???" Besides the killer donuts, I love their breakfast sandwiches and Thai tea. The best service and friendliest staff on top of great food, you can't go wrong! These are the neighborhood businesses I love to support. Keep it up! read more

Rainbow Donuts is THE BEST. After a confusing mixup with finding a dessert for my wedding reception, the owner, Jason, said they would rush a batch of 20 dozen donuts! They also threw in a few dozen extra and made my wife and I two heart shaped donuts with pink frosting. Not only are their donuts great, but their hospitality is incredible! They saved our reception and we can't thank them enough! read more

The best doughnuts ! When ever I bring to work or social event , always hear how soft and delicious they are. Apple fritters are my favorite and then the yummy croissant/doughnut thing . Staff is super friendly too. read more

Been going to a different donut shop for awhile, but decided to make a change and I was not disappointed. This is definitely going to be our new donut shop! Friendly, nice, and have a wonderful selection. They also have a great donut happy hour on Monday and Tuesday! read more

My coworker brought in donuts from this place and had me try one. AMAZING!!! It was so good and a million times better than Krispy Kreme and their air and sugar donuts. One Rainbow Donut actually filled me completely up. They're sinfully delicious. read more

Great donuts all the time every time! Cake and raised always on point, although I like cake best. Service is top notch too.

Really awesome sausage sandwiches and mango smoothies. My kids loved their donuts too.

This is the best bakery in the area! They even have great sandwiches for lunch. The bread is amazing & always so fresh! They have a pumpkin doughnut that phenomenal. read more

I love the quickness of these guys! Their donuts are amazing! Don't discount the other items on the menu either!

If I was on death row and got to choose my last meal, I would go with a box or two of Rainbow Donuts. Hopefully, that would be enough to kill me, and I would go with a big powdered sugar, chocolate, glazed smile on my face. But since I'm a happy free man, I choose to go to Rainbow for a healthier option (only 2 or 3 delicious donuts at a time).. read more

Walk in today, Sunday, at 12:00 pm and they are out of glazed doughnuts??? Glazed doughnuts... Umm those are kind of popular. So if you are going to open a doughnut shop I would have those readily available. Like if your KFC you may want to have plenty of original recipe, I have a feeling that may be a popular item as well. So from now on I will visit one of the other dozen places around here to get doughnuts. They have glazed doughnuts by the dozens. read more

It's kind of crazy that I'm just now doing a review I've been going here for three years now every Friday before school it's our tradition. I call ahead and order scrambled eggs so I don't have to add to my wait time and they always know it's me they're like family. Honestly all the donuts are amazing this is the real deal don't even bother going anywhere else. But actually the ham and cheese croissant is also amazing and their lunches are spectacular. Sandwiches are all good we love the burritos as well. My favorite donut is the glazed Bavarian cream filled it's basically like a Bismarck but instead of having jelly inside it's the Bavarian cream and only with glaze on the top amazing I'm pretty sure it's unique to them. Once you go here you will be addicted and you won't want to go anywhere else! read more

THE BEST IN PHOENX and they've added a "made to order" breakfast croissant that is absolute perfection. We are regulars at the Cave Creek store who also have a drive thru. They even have outside tables although the street is not a place you want to linger. The staff is always very pleasant. read more

The only thing better than Rainbow's doughnuts are the incredible staff. We dropped by late Sunday afternoon (mother's day) and selection was pretty sparse however, this is to be expected since it was late in the afternoon on Mother's Day. The woman who served us was so welcoming and apologetic about the selection which was completely unnecessary as the doughnuts that we ended up with were phenomenal (crème brûlé, red velvet and strawberry). Prices are fantastic, doughnuts are even better. read more

Great donut options. Great customer service! Well worth the drive a couple miles past Dunkin donuts.

Food was okay, service was really slow, and selection was very poor. They were out of many things which I would think would be standard items. Overall, it was okay for the area, but I will not personally eat here again. read more

Donuts were decent but nothing great. The coffee was terrible. Luke warm from one of those pump-it-yourself dohickies. On the upside the place was clean and the service was good. I would prefer Dunkin', Krispy Kreme or Bosa. read more

My husband stopped by and bought a dozen for co-workers a year ago since we live close to here and he works in the East Valley. It was an immediate hit! Now it's just expected that he'll bring a dozen every week, and there is major disappointment if he doesn't. They have very fresh and delicious doughnuts. I knock them off a star for not fixing their menu (at the bakery and online). They do not have muffins or cakes like their menu claims. But doughnuts? They know what they're doing! read more

To be honest I have had better donuts from Basha's. However, their apple fritter is one of the best I have EVER had. My wife and I came in for a Sunday morning treat and bought a half dozen donuts. They were dry and unexciting, except the fritter. The price vs. quality does not warrant my return. Sorry, Rainbow Donuts, but you need to do something that sets you apart from the others in the donut game. read more

I think these are probably the best donuts I've had out. Remind me so much of donuts from my childhood and ones my Grandma made in her kitchen. Very friendly and appreciate the business. Every time I go, I feel valued as a customer. It is not close to me but I drive over there just to pick them up for company. The variety is so nice as well as all the other menu items they have. Give it a try. It's a gem. read more

Rainbow donuts has really good fresh donuts. The staff is very friendly. I usually will pick some up for an event. They have a good variety. The earlier you come the better section they have. I highly recommend these local donuts. As, the national donut chains don't even compare to these... read more
