I have been hearing non stop things about how amazing Sandy's donuts are for a while and after it took us a while to get back up to Fargo, we finally made the stop. We ended up going to the location downtown on a Sunday. Parking was incredibly easy on this freezing Sunday. There was no line when I went in around 10:30 am. They certainly were starting to run out of donuts but still had a great selection. I opted to get a few filled (cookies and cream, butterfinger), glazed (raised) and old fashioned. The filled were fine, however I've never been one for filled donuts so my judgement is not the best. I am a glazed (raised or cake), cake, and old fashioned type of donut gal. I found the donuts to be good. Not sure life changing, but good. read more

These donuts are the best ever!!! Family owned business, small town vibes. Made fresh! We talk about them all year and look forward to coming back to Fargo for these donuts!!! read more

Stopped by while in town for a night since I saw their name everywhere around town. It's a cute shop with mom-and-pop vibes and all the kids working the counter were really nice. It was around 10am and they were almost entirely sold out but I think that has a bit more to do with their location and reputation than the donuts themselves. We got a coffee bismark and an old fashioned. The coffee one was decent, if slightly doughy. Not too sweet but I wish the coffee bitterness came through a bit more to offset it. The old fashioned itself was ok but just way too sweet. Texture was nice but couldn't get any of the slight tang you want from a good old fashioned. Pretty sure it was just powdered sugar and water. I think a touch of lemon juice in the glaze would have made the flavor pop and using some egg white would help it set without needing that high ratio of sugar/liquid. It was worth a trip and if I was craving a donut it'd work but I probably wouldn't seek them out. read more

One of the best donut shops in the entire USA. Seriously. Made with love and a great, friendly and helpful staff. It is hard to improve on perfection. read more

Fantastic. Fresh. Tasty. Amazing. It's been a long time since I've had such good donuts. Take that back. Maybe the first time it's been on this level. Even donuts I'd usually not like, I loved. We had the homer (x2) and a Bavarian. Outstanding. I loved the ambiance of this spot. The employees were friendly and cheery. Exactly what we needed to kick off the day! read more

There's no denying that the donuts are good. However, are they twice as good as every other donut in town, because they're twice the price? To me, the answer is no! $14.50 for five donuts is outrageous when I can go to Cash Wise and get a similar five for $7.50! read more

Their coffee and donuts are great! The white mocha wasn't too too sweet but not too bitter like a strong coffee, and their donuts are yeast donuts. This means that they're pillowy and fried! Their bismarck donuts are stuffed with filling, but the one rolled in sugar was my favorite. The mochi donuts were stretchy and so nicely sweet. I would order everything I got again the next time I'm in fargo. Maybe even grab a dozen on my way out. read more

7am Sunday morning stopped by to get a couple doughnuts and a coffee. Coffee was hot and good. Doughnuts were cold and hours if not day old. Understand they don't make doughnuts at that location. For what they charge for their product you would think they could have better quality. read more

While exploring Fargo, ND we stumbled upon this gem. When we walked in the smell of fresh donuts was so inviting and the customers and employees were very friendly. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly. Apparently everyone in town knew about this place except us! While we waited in line I noticed the stacks of labeled boxes and individuals coming in and picking them up. It appears that you can order and pay ahead of time, then just run in and grab your labeled box that has been prepared for you. A great service if you know what you'd like. Once we got to the counter and it was our turn to order, I won't lie, I was a bit overwhelmed with all of the choices! Thankfully, the employee waiting on me was patient. We ordered several different donuts and none of them disappointed! I recommend the old fashioned (sour cream) donut, but I am partial to them. My partner loves cake donuts and said these were among the best she's had! When in the Fargo, be sure to visit Sandy's and get your donut fix read more

SUCH a variety! surely there's something for everyone. We LOVED the mixed berry bavarian, but all of them were delicious

I LOVE Sandy's! It's a tradition to grab a box of dozen whenever I'm visiting someone in the area. You can't get a better "basic" donut. They just know how to make raised donuts RIGHT! I also love the variety. They're always cooking up something crazy like a unicorn donut or a s'mores long john. There's always something for everyone - your dad that thinks simple is better, your kids that want something colorful, your foodie friend that likes weird combinations, and you who likes fruity things! The coffee drinks are good for what they are - sugary concoctions (as if the donuts weren't enough!). The coffee flavor is still present and the sweetness isn't overwhelming. It makes for a nice treat :) Although I will say their coffee drinks take longer than expected to make, BUT I give them a pass since they're not a coffee shop. Why are you still reading this review? Go to Sandy's already!! read more

Best donuts in the entire world. I am very sad I no longer live in the Fargo area. I would (almost) brave 6 months of winter for a chance to be a bit closer to those blueberry glazed, apple fritters and buttermilk cake yummies! read more

Visiting my sister in Fargo for Thanksgiving... She took us here and it was so much fun! They had over 30 flavors (safe estimate). A unique flavored doughnut for any taste, young and old. We got a maple bacon (our first choice), an apple cluster (second choice), and an espresso Bismarck (third choice). They were all very tasty! read more

Good service. Limited selection by 11:00, which could indicate how busy they are. Comfortable seating to sit and read my messages while enjoying my treat. Wish the bathroom wasn't down the hall. read more

Sandy's Donuts offers coffee & doughnuts at reasonable prices, which is a remarkable thing considering its location that is adjacent to the very popular Fargo Theatre in downtown Fargo. Sandy's offers decent seating indoors, which I found to be somewhat cozy to relax and eat during brutal winter weather (I arrived when it was a balmy -18 degrees Fahrenheit). The employees here are pretty chill (no pun intended). Polite, welcoming, and accommodating when it came to suggesting a variety of coffee blends and sizes that were comparable to anything that Starbucks or Caribou would offer. And the doughnuts? As fresh and easy tasting as squeezed orange juice on a Sunday morning. The folks from Dunkin really need to take notice due to the variety and size of the type of pastries served- Boston creme, eclairs, coffee rolls, apple fritters. Its all there. Sadly, I don't know if there are gluten free options. But really, did you come here to eat a doughnut with no taste yet had 250 calories, versus one that has taste and with 350 instead? That's up to you. Get your frozen butts down here for a treat. Sandy's Donuts on Broadway. Come get some! read more

Incredible Blueberry Donut ! I'm so glad that I stopped by before leaving Fargo, I just wish I had been able to enjoy it more! I stayed a night there and on my way out of town before an 11 hour drive I grabbed a donut from Sandy's and it was a great treat for myself. The staff was also very kind! If I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely be stopping by. read more

They have a huge selection of of amazing looking and tasting donuts. I stop here every chance I get, which isn't often since I live out of state. Very efficient in their service but also patient if you have to think about what to order. read more

If you ever find yourself in Fargo, which you should. You must go to a Sandy's. It was my first stop on my first morning visiting Fargo for the Fargo Marathon. Carb loading FTW! Anywho, Sandy, whoever she is, makes the best donuts I've had in a looooong time. I brought some back to the Airbnb for my travel buds & they were stoked. And then we were all stoked to see mountains of these Devine treats at the end of race! These donuts are big & fluffy. Plus they are FRESH. Ahem, Dunkin who? read more

WOW! This place is amazing if you love different types of donuts. Really enjoyed every bite of every doughnut.

Recently voted North Dakota's best Donut by MSN, an accolade of questionable relevance considering a significant amount of experience with other such awardees in several States, it was on the way out of town that a stop was made at Sandy's Donuts & Coffee Shop, a pre-order requested some 48-hours in advance found ready to go for just over $2 per item inclusive of tax and tip. Located at 300 Broadway and with the original location in West Fargo, a van additionally making deliveries as far out as Grand Forks, it was easily finding parking in an area riddled with construction that the shop was entered, a pair of vagrants outside asking for Food apparently not uncommon per a local talking with her spouse though they certainly were not obtrusive. Open since 2014 Downtown, the flagship actually serving guests Fried Dough since 1983, it was sitting down inside comfortable confines that boxes were unwrapped and photographs taken while sampling, first bites of a Longjohn topped in Fluff, Graham Crackers and Chocolate impressing by way of its fluffiness plus a good bit of Sweetness and Yeast in the base. Offering over eighty daily varieties, everything from Raised to Cake and Filled to Fritter included, it was next that a heavily glazed Cinnamon Roll proved a touch *too* sweet before moving on to mellow Milk Chocolate Frosting, the follow-up "Apple Cluster" a Fritter by any other name and absolutely textbook in the West Coast tradition of a crispy exterior and plenty of Fruit in the middle. Mostly impressed by a Sour Cream Old Fashioned, the tanginess accounted for but Glaze added a bit too late to penetrate, it was with far greater success than the fried Roll that a Cinnamon Pretzel Donut conveyed its flavor, the Vanilla Cake tasted next showing excellent texture as did the Cocoa-laden version served beneath Coconut Pecan Frosting later. Saving several halves or more for the drive to Winnipeg, a yeasted base liberally topped in pulverized Butterfinger probably best eaten over a plate as it is as messy as it is delicious, it was again with German Chocolate Frosting that another raised Ring was found, the first of two filled creations to follow doubling down or Oreo Cookies both on top and blended into the airy Cream inside. Having to this point held off on a personal favorite, the Blueberry Cake thankfully living up to expectations thanks to natural flavors and a melt-in-the-mouth texture, it was finally with Sandy's famous "Angel Iced Bismark" that tasting concluded, the pocket said to be almost weightless by many in reality probably just over an ounce of the same great yeasty Dough sheltering sweet Cream with the lightness of Meringue. read more

It would be rare for me to meet a donut shop I didn't like. I mean, they're donuts! The downtown Sandy's is a nice alternative for those of us who do not live or work in the vicinity of their original West Fargo location. Location aside, this Sandy's is a very nice looking place. A very classy donut shop. It doesn't have as much seating as the West Fargo location, but for this downtown real estate, it has plenty of space. Nice decor, nice furniture. And of course the donuts. I thought the options might be a lot more limited at this shop but I was wrong. They still have so many choices that it is difficult to decide. I did not pay any attention on this visit to other food and drink options. I recall several beverage coolers to the left when I was in line, but I couldn't tell you much about them. Great job Sandy's Donuts! read more

Here they serve your classic, puffy, sugary doughnuts. Reasonably priced, and great for taking a dozen to go if you want to be everyone's favorite person at work, but not a ton of seating inside at the downtown location. For the vegans: on Mondays they always have vegan options for several flavors. Personally, I'm partial to the jelly-filled ones. Would give them five stars for vegan options on more days and slightly better coffee! read more

Best in town. A little on the pricy side but worth every penny. You will not be disappointed.

I love this place! Their donuts are soooo good! Especially their Maple Bacon Long Johns... Wonderful atmosphere and the employees are very friendly. Good people people, if you know what I mean. They work well with their customers and are able to get through long lines quickly. Amazing donut shop! read more

Sandy's Donuts - Maple Bacon Long John - Donuts Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Cute little donut shop in the heart of downtown Fargo. The place has a urban rustic vibe to it with exposed brick, open duct work, farmhouse tables and colorful mixed matched marquee letters. It was certainly bumpin' on a Saturday morning, but the line moved very swiftly. Lots of fun offerings from bacon this, maple that, Almond Joy, Key Lime, S'mores, even vegan donuts. Yeah baby! There's classic such as twists and glazed of course, and a ton of cute ones for the kiddos from Cookie Monster to "worms" in dirt. My kiddos flipped for these! The round delights are light and fluffy, full of flavor and priced competitively. They can be ordered in advance in variety boxes geared towards satisfying kids and office parties alike. Their coffee is pretty darn good too! They also offer salads, panini, and sammies. A free donut is given with any lunch purchase. Good stop if you find yourself in the middle of Fargo which was surprisingly cute!! Nice place to take a load off for a few or get your day started. read more

I had the Cookie Minster donut. Easiest 5 star I have given out. Cool atmosphere. And very friendly staff

OOOOOOoooooh. The location downtown is a fun place to take the littles and their grannies/grampies. Easy to get to. A couple of tables outside. Lots of delicious choices. The one stuffed with peanut butter fluff is a must try! read more

As a first timer, I was lost. Were they closing was it a restaurant ? was I walking into a police officers meetings, there was a lot of cops there. The donuts were delish but the service was so so. I felt so out of place like I was walking in a private residence. I didn't get a hi or anything, just counter gals talking to the locals I assume that we're done with their meals just sitting down eating. I don't like to be Ignored especially when I have donut money to spend! Bad Sandy's donuts! read more

I think about doughnuts every single day. I once went gluten free for 120 days (worst days of my life) and the first thing I ate was 3 doughnuts when I could eat gluten again. I do not take my doughnut hobby lightly. I am a travel RN and heard about Sandy's before getting to try them. I have only tried the ones in the hospital so far so it has been a limited selection but they have been EXCELLENT. Recently told my sister "I would rather have no doughnut than a chocolate covered doughnut" BUT I saw the chocolate covered and it did not strike me as a normal run of the mill chocolate donut. It was so fantastic that I might have to get it again when I finally make it to the actual location! read more

At $18/dz for cake doughnuts I assumed that they would be the best cake doughnuts I've ever had. This is not the case. Won't be back. This is the perfect Fargo boutique doughnut. Cost too much money, looks pretty, but the quality will let you down. read more

A really tasty chocolate glazed doughnut, made even tastier because my nephew bought it for me. There were lots of flavors to choose from so I'm planning that there will be a 'next time'. I noticed a few giant sized ones. (Like Hagrid might eat), and it would be a fun treat to split one of those for someone's birthday. read more
