My initial impression of the quality of a Chinese restaurant is their hot and sour soup. Similarly, an apple fritter tells me a whole lot about a donut shop. I stopped at Rise 'n Shine this morning and was greeted by the fragrance of deliciousness and two very sweet ladies. The shop is clean and bright and the cases are filled with delectable pastries, but I was on a mission. I asked for two apple fritters and they were huge and delicious looking. I paid and took them home. The proof is in the tasting. Crisp outside, soft and moist and appley inside. Sheer delicious perfection. There is a sign on the window about broasted chicken but I forgot to ask. Next time, because there will be a next time. read more

I'm so happy the new owners took over this donut shop. The donuts are fantastic. If you're hungry, get one of the breakfast burritos they are awesome. My wife and I have to split the chorizo burrito. They are always running out which is a good sign and when I told the owner hey I'm looking for a jelly and a chocolate she said no problem, let me make it for you. She's always happy with a smile on her face. Please stop by and give them a try. read more

There's a terrific bakery called Rise 'n' Shine Donuts and More located at the former Young's Donuts across from WalMart.. 1043 N Kolb Road. We met and talked with owners Terry and Robert, who are really lovely people. Their donuts are HUGE, delicious, and fairly priced. They're famous not only for their donuts but their sunshine breakfast burritos. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not a coffee shop but they do have 2 tables....we saw many people coming in for their take-out orders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I told them they should raise their prices....and I suggested that after visiting many bakeries and pastry shops around town and getting their bills. I love supporting local businesses and times are tough. If you love doughnuts maybe you could give this delightful bakery a try. read more

Very friendly staff and even though you don't get a huge variety of donuts they have all the classics. I got a glazed and powdered sugar ones. The glazed donut was my favorite. They have a few tables set up inside for those who want to enjoy the donuts right then and there. I was also told they have fresh breakfast burritos they started offering recently. read more

Always saw this place out of the corner of my eye when I travel on Kolb and so glad that a Yelp event finally gave me that push to visit. The donuts are classic, nostalgic, and delicious. My husband is picky about cake donuts and he gave his stamp of approval. The breakfast burritos are also delicious! They are advertised a "Tucson style" which the owner kindly told me that it meant they are toasted on the outside. I went at 11am on a Friday morning and a lot of donuts were sold already (just lets you know how good and popular they are!) however the owner was nice enough to quickly make a fresh batch of the glazed and maple donuts for a few of us customers in here at the time. If you're going anytime after 12pm, I would call to see what they have left or even if they plan on closing early. The owner def made this experience far better. She was such a sweetheart and so welcoming. Looking forward to becoming regulars (: read more

I had been here before and remembered how much I loved their donuts so had to stop again. As you can see from my video, they have a ton of choices. I ended up getting the apple fritter and two of those little powdered donut balls that look like snowballs. Let me tell you... they were AMAZING. The apple fritter was perfectly crunchy on the outside, while the inside was fluffy, soft, and practically melted in my mouth. Easily one of the best fritters I've had. I also grabbed what they called a tiger claw that is filled with this magical goodness of layers of butter and blueberries and fruit. You guys have to try it and it is a massive you guys. But honestly, the highlight of my visit wasn't even the donuts it was the owner. I didn't catch her name, but her energy was so warm and welcoming. The moment you walk in, she greets you like family. It honestly felt like walking into your favorite tia's house, comfortable, friendly, and genuine. That kind of hospitality is rare and makes all the difference. One thing I completely forgot to take a picture of: their breakfast burritos! They have different burrito specials depending on the day, and now I have another reason to come back. I can already promise I'll be making another trip soon to try one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for delicious donuts and a place that makes you feel right at home, Young Donuts is absolutely worth the stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Thank you Yelp for setting up an Elite event here! I am so glad I went to experience this new place again. The owner was super friendly and so helpful. Also very apologetic that she had sold out of most of her delicious sweets when I got there. (I'll have to remember to be there before noon next time.) The donuts are a generous size and fluffy and tender and just the right amount of sweetness. I was a bit confused by one of the donut labels and read it as "lemon and blueberry" and she explained that wasn't what it was but was more than happy to fill one of her already prepared shells with the lemon and blueberry for me. I was not disappointed at all! She said she'd be more than happy to fill a shell with anything she had that I would like which was very accommodating of her. We also ordered the chicken strip meal and it was equally as delicious and helped us get some protein in to breakdown the yummy sugar. I will have to try the $8.00 burritos on my next trip because they sounded tempting as well. It's not a big shop-just 2 tables but it is donut stop after all so pick up plenty of deliciousness and take it to go and share. read more

Gotta say, it takes a fantabulous donut to impress this lady who is not huge donut fan. Welp, changed my mind as their coconut sugar cake donut- Delicious, so crispy on outside and soft in middle. Best donut and served by one of the happiest people, Mona! This woman never stopped smiling- she was putting taster size glazed donuts on plate , along with our orders. She was professional ,yet, friendly. Her energy and that donut will have me back there again and again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance? Clean, well stocked, felt like small bistro- comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are two small two person tables in there and we were early enough at 9 to get one. The second we sat down, the crowd came and line was forming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also had bought a ham and cheese croissant- huge, flaky, delicious! Put this on your place to go this weekend. Highly recommend ! read more

I found my new favorite local donut establishment. They make their donuts fresh every morning but make sure to stop by early because they do sell out. The apple fritter was better than my hand and I can see why it's one of their popular items. Their donuts are light with a cakey texture. The owner was friendly and helped me decided which donut to try because they have so many. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A cute bakeshop with delicious donuts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend you try them! read more

Rise'n Shine - Apple fritter donut - Donuts Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The is an east side gem! The donuts really were amazing. I came for the yelp elite event and got two free donuts, one glazed and one strawberry glaze. I had to get an old fashioned for my hubby which they dipped in maple glaze and was to die for.. they also threw in a few donut holes which were super yummy and I got a cinnamon sugar long John as well. All were delicious! I live on the west side but would make the trip over to get these again. Service and place were great also!

It's been a while since I have been to this store. I was not disappointed. I tried the cherry fritter and tiger tail (big glazed donut with cinnamon and apple bits. Tried out the ham and cheese and the one with jalapeños. They were delicious. Didn't try the chicken...next time. I came to get special donut for BFF's birthday and here is the cherry and Bavarian cream treat. I pulled the candles out before taking the picture. read more

Seriously, the best donate in Tucson! They're completely on the other side of town for me, but i had the opportunity to stop by a few weeks ago and try them out. I had a toasted coconut doughnut that was so light and fluffy with lots of tender golden coconut. I took my bf home a couple because he is a true aficionado. He stops by another place everyday on his way to work to get a glazed donut and oj for breakfast. When he tried the glazed I brought him home he actually said "Holy F*c#!" and said it was the best donut he had ever had, This is a man who never travels more than three blocks out of his way for anything but today we drove the 9.8 miles to get him his glazed donut from here. In addition to great donuts they offer breakfast burritos which I had also brought home from my original visit. It was only $8 and loaded with some really tasty Machaca eggs and cheese. They also offer a something called broasted chicken which I hear is good but did not try. Mona was working the counter on my first visit and the owner Terry was there working today. Both were very nice and attentive. When I told Terry how my we drove clear across town just for her donuts she was so happy and appreciative. You can tell she's very proud of what they do. I wish them much success read more

I came here for lunch a few days ago. I had the Supreme Burrito ($8). The burrito was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The main downside of this place is that there is no bathroom for customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Very good donuts. One of the 2-3 best in Tucson imo. Wish it wasn't so far from me. Lovely people

These are our favorite donuts in town. They're less oily than most donuts, which we appreciated. The "raise glaze" ones are so fluffy and delicious, we love the texture and flavor. The owner is super friendly too. She asked what kind of donut we were looking for, we described it (glazed with chocolate filling), and she said "that's not on the regular menu but we can make it for you right now!" and they made a custom donut just for us. Nice personal touch...and it was delicious! Try to come in the morning, they start selling out in the early afternoon. Highly recommend this place! read more

Best donut shop in Tucson! Their breakfast burritos are truly one of a kind--I grab them every Friday for my coworkers, and they always say it's the best burrito they've ever had. The donuts are big, fluffy, and made fresh daily. You can really taste the love and care that goes into everything they make. read more

Super fresh daily. Many varieties. I especially enjoyed the Wildcat Claw. It's got a fan shaped exterior and has apple filling. Definitely big enough to share With a couple of friends. Friendly service along with a and nice hot coffee read more

I have been going here for years. I stopped when I had a bad experience. I tried it again when I found out they were under new management, it has completely got rid of the bad and replaced it with YUMMY. I go there at least once or twice a week. I'd go more often but my husband found donut crumbs in my car. I didn't even have time to remember any of the millions of excuses floating around in my head to use. He knew I was on a sugar high. The broasted chicken is the best. Crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. It's SO good I was over the moon when I found out that they had kolaches on Friday and Saturday. Soft and tender can't even describe it. You have to experience it for yourself. They have the best breakfast burritos. I got one for my husband and he loved it! I do believe that he loves it more than he loves me! They make a certain daily kind each day. Nice, fresh, hot and made from REAL EGGS. Not bagged eggs. On to the DONUTS! My most favorite one is this cherry thing split in half, with cream and cherries almost oozing out of the sides. IT'S SO good. I can't even describe the taste. Just describing it makes my mouth water. The person in charge of baking is Robert. He is the baking magician. There are so many choices of donuts to choose from. It's a good thing that I don't work there. No donut would be safe. If you want something special, just ask them. If they could do it..they will!! Robert's wife is Terry "the boss". Every one there is so friendly. They treat you like family. I'm telling the honest truth. They don't just put on a happy face to get the sales. They love each other and they love their customers and it shows. I always stop there on my way home from the doctor. It's my treat to myself after they take blood out of me or any of the endless reasons I go there. (when get old, you'll know what I'm talking about). I'm at the doctor right now. You know what that means... read more

Young's donuts; WERE the best donuts I ever had, from former owners. THEY WERE THE BEST, see reviews, Thrill list in 2015, best shop in AZ! Love good donuts, only have donuts every few months. Have not been to Young's in few years, since moved back to Arizona. Told wife about them in the past. Today we were nearby, live other side of town. Stopped, saw sign in front "New management" " Young's donuts by Rise N Shine donuts", my heart sank. Went in, lady said New owners year and half ago. Donuts looked different: taller, thicker...hmmmm? Got assortment, 5 kinds, what was left on Saturday at 1 pm. Got home, tried one, NOT THE SAME, NOT EVEN CLOSE! Good donuts, NOT GREAT! NOT AS MOIST OR SOFT. Could tell because donuts bigger, taller. AI on Google later said "enhanced..." Sad. Won't be back, other shops just as good or better. SAD BECAUSE YOUNGS, OLD OWNERS, OLD RECIPE WERE THE BEST DONUTS I EVER HAD! At least I can say I had the best donuts ever, once upon a time. read more

The best apple fritter I've ever had! The broasted checkin was crispy and juicy. Fresh made as I waited.

The friendliest people (new owners/management)! They make sure you are happy and will make sure you know what you will like what you buy. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. They do sell out early on their donuts but the breakfast burritos were excellent! read more

The new owners are so friendly. They remember me when I come back. The donuts are fresh every day, made onsite and truly a cut above typical. They are huge, soft and wonderful. And reasonably priced. We love going here! There is one problem- they are so popular that they run out! read more

Best donuts! Great local donut shop, friendly staff. Old school donuts that taste amazing.

The owners at this doughnut shop are simply the friendliest and we're very helpful for a first-time visitor. The doughnuts themselves are affordable and there is quite the selection to choose from including some unique flavors like maple bacon as well as an orange glazed doughnut that had a great taste to it. These were fluffy home-style doughnuts with a perfect amount of glaze on them. Not the most gourmet doughnuts you'll ever have, but you cannot beat the quality and price of these doughnuts! read more

The owner is the sweetest! I live in Phoenix, but I had about two hours to kill while waiting for the Western Passport Center to finish up with my passport. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was feeling stressed when I entered, but I instantly felt the space's warmth and coziness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whether you are an out-of-towner or a local, if you are in the area, Rise and Shine is a must-stop. Their donuts are amazing and don't get me started on their fried chicken. Some of the best I've had in Arizona. Also, the coffee snob in me was thoroughly satisfied with their house coffee. Nothing hits quite as right as donut house coffee. read more

My new favorite donut shop in town! They aren't "elevated" or a concoction of strange ingredients. Nope. They serve the classics very well (think fritters and buttermilk bars). Fast and friendly service. Keep in mind, they are closed on Monday. The ambiance is what you would expect from an active bakery. read more

The owner is so lovely and personable. I walked in and asked for Boston Crème, she didn't have any so she went in the back and made them in two minutes!

Plan to go back and try the chicken someday for lunch. read more

This place is so fantastic! The donuts are delicious pillows of flavor and texture and the service is friendly and efficient. And the Broaster chicken - best fried chicken I've had in years! The meat is so flavorful and moist - even the breast! The exterior is crispy and not greasy. The potato salad is yummy too! Here for my second time this week - will definitely be back. A definite Tucson treasure - don't miss it! read more

I ordered a delivery order for my son's birthday as a surprise. I stated so in the delivery directions. Burrito - best breakfast burrito I have ever had! Donuts - This is now my go-to donut. Best ever! They were super fresh, soft, and so full of flavor. I can't wait to try the chicken in the future. Customer Service: The person who filled my order read the delivery note. They wrote a birthday message for my son and included a dozen glazed donut holes. My son was stunned and thrilled. read more

I'm on the hunt for my go-to donut shop since moving here a year ago! Walking in, you are greeted by a friendly staff. They have seating and inside appears nice and clean for a donut shop. Surprisingly, they make fried chicken and because a patron was raving about it, I had to order a drum stick! It WAS delish! They even sell egg rolls and I'm curious, but you need to preorder them a day in advance. Will do. Ok, back to donuts . . . Sadly, I was not impressed. I ordered 3 to do a taste test. Two bites of their Cinnamon roll tasted dry and old. Two bites of their Glazed Old Fashion tasted the same. Crumb twist was good, but not great. I definitely was sad because this means I have to keep searching! Good news is, I will return for their chicken! read more

My husband brought these donuts back to our hotel last weekend. We'd seen the good reviews online and read how the owner graces you with freebies sometimes. We weren't disappointed! Each donut we tried was fresh and tasty. I personally liked the maple raised and LOVED the Tiger's Tail. (It's kind of a cinnamon apple twist.) Since my hubby bought the last Tiger's Tail we had to split it. So sad! We have a son at the U of A now so we hope to visit again sometime and not have to share the Tiger Tail! read more
