Everyday donut shop ambiance. Very nice lady gives good service. The donuts get the 5 stars. Fire!!!!!! Chocolate twists and loaded with chocolate and so soft and fresh. Ham and cheese croissant was so yummy also. Definitely a hitter.

Such a great mom & pop shop. My kids love the speciality donuts. The owners are always so kind and personable. The iced coffee is excellent! And the shop is always clean. So if looking for a cute morning, treat for your little ones this is a great place and also some good selections for an adult treat and caffeine fix.

Lady was super energetic and friendly, I love her vibes and personality. She even gave some complimentary donut holes, I definitely recommend this place. The donuts are pretty fluffy and not too sweet too

Fluffy croissant and a lot of variety Convient location from town of riverside place #18 https://www.yelp.com/article/yelps-top-100-us-donut-shops-2022

glazed donuts, pink frosting with sprinkles donut, custard filled donut, sugar twist

I just wanted to say the plain glazed donuts are heavenly, and this is coming from someone who doesn't care for donuts or sweets much! Best I've ever had! The place was super clean, the man working behind the counter was extremely kind and patient. 1000/10

5/5. I believe I came here on Thursday. Super last minute like 5 minutes before closing time and they had a good amount of variety left. I ordered an apple fritter, cinnamon roll, Oreo donut, and a maple bacon. Customer service was amazing. The donuts were stellar even though they were 5 minutes before closing. I would give both the Apple fritter and cinnamon roll 5/5. Oreo didn't really have much of a crunch to it but 3.5/5. Not bad. I just can't get on board with bacon on donuts, just my opinion. I wanted to give the maple bacon bar a second chance, I would give that a 3.5/5 but if you're a fan it's 4/5. Overall 5/5. read more

Steve's are the Best donuts in So. California, bar none. Speciality donuts galore but they have the basics too. Coffee was fresh. Great prices and nice atmosphere. Lots of room to enjoy your coffee and donut while taking a break or catching up on your social media. Premises are kept clean. Pride of ownership really shines.

Just found the best donut shop that I have ever been in. When you walk in, the man behind the counter greets you with a smile and a welcome, makes you feel like you picked the right place to come in. Then when you look at the display case it's amazing. I have never seen so many different and decorated Donuts anywhere ever. I tried the blueberry cinnamon roll, yummmmy! Never had any donut like this before. I kept staring at the case because there's so many different Donuts that just jump out at you, so before I left I also chose a fresh strawberry cream cheese filled donut and an almond cream cheese filled donut only because they looked amazing. This place is like having a Rodeo Drive donut shop right here in Riverside! It's on Arlington Avenue across from the old Kmart on Van Buren. Don't drive by it, you'll be missing a jewel! read more

It's a LIE!! I'm sorry but I do not know how this place has a 5 star rating....??!!! The donuts here LOOK good but they really do not taste good!!! So disappointed and confused as I read a couple of these reviews that said they have a donut with fresh strawberries in it or on it, either way, when I went there, there was only a "strawberry filling" option. I still got it and it was way too sweet and it had a weird taste to it. I wanted so badly to find a good donut shop closer to where I live but definitely NOT here. read more

Upon paying what should have been $23 went to $30. We said how? She said u picked special donuts. Well that was only bc she insisted that it was included in the price. We adjusted the donut selection and paid. The real issue for me is the way she communicated to us in a sneaky way as if we wouldn't notice the up charge, not to mention how embarrassing she made us feel. The donuts are not even great. They didn't taste fresh. A bit more stale if I'm being honest. It was a disappointing overall experience. I do not recommend.

When I first did my review this donut shop was called Linda's Donuts. Since that review the Donut Shop's name has been changed to Steve's Donuts. I wanted to make sure everyone knew that this was the same place with the same great donuts and other great treats. Also the service is still the best because the original friendly people are still there. Thanks Linda and Steve. See you tomorrow!9 read more

Haven't been in a while because the donuts really do set you back when you're trying to eat good, but when I get that urge... they DO NOT disappoint. My favorite donut shop, and the lady is so nice whenever I come in. 10/10 read more

The cream was fresh tasting and not too sweet balanced the nice chocolate on top. My old fashioned was coated with sugar well and quite doughy center which I like. Both of these cost $3.75 not too bad. The owner was friendly and gave good suggestions. It's too bad that the only downside of coming here is that there are several people "loitering" or "camping" outside which can be intimidating while going into the store. But I've noticed these people don't bother you so if you look like you know what you are doing then it's safe. Overall still a good place to get freshly made donuts. Plus they stay open late too!
