Great local donut shop with large variety of treats. Many booths with outlets make it a great place to work. Staff is always friendly and quick. I have been here many times and will continue to come back. Only downside is no iced coffee! read more

SW's Donut Mill - Donut Holes - Donuts Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

Sweetwater's Doughnuts are worth driving Out of Your Way for. Lot's of choices, filled or cake. I picked out a half a dozen and it was about $10. Service was great and the doughnuts are Very Good. read more

Awesome staff, INCREDIBLE DONUTS! I come from a family, that takes a road trip for a good donut, so I feel like I know what's a good donut. These donuts are incredible! GIANT cake donut holes! The yeast donuts and fillings also perfection. Life is short, eat the donut. Make the road trip with your family to eat these donuts! read more

I was visiting from out of state. They have a good selection of all varieties. The service was friendly but the donuts were a little dry. I stopped by around 10am on a Saturday. Maybe I should have come by sooner or maybe I just don't like cake donuts. If you like this style of donuts then you'll probably like these. read more

Good variety of donuts, but for $18 / dozen I would have thought they would be a bit fresher. Too many extra crusty cake donuts if you know what i mean. I will say the service was friendly and quick! I'll try it again... read more

Have a need that can only be filled by a good doughnut? Look no further. Sweetwater's (here called SW's) is legendary in the area, and for good reason. The options are many, and the product is phenomenal (though not for your waistline). If you haven't tried one of their locations, you're missing out (unless you're gluten free, in which case I'm very sorry). read more

SW's Donut Mill - Beautiful storefront - Donuts Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

I'm a cake donut guy. But the cake donut I got here was dry. I also got an Apple Fritter, and it too was pretty dry. I'm from out of state, and maybe people's taste for what makes a donut good is different in Michigan. My wife got a yeast donut and she said it was great. Maybe SW specializes in yeast donuts and cake are an afterthought...I don't know. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll try a yeast. read more

Wuuut?! Sweetwaters has the best donuts. It doesn't matter what location you go to. They used to be 24 hours but now they close at 8p and it's extra lame. We always want donuts when they're closed. It was a fun place to take my niece and nephews when they were kids. But if you're not from around here you need to go. It's a real donut shop and I've discovered through my travels those are actually kinda rare. Dunkin' isn't that awesome, folks. The real donuts are here. Dunkin' has much better coffee and other breakfast items - but we are talkin DONUTS. I love fluff filled ones - but you really can't go wrong. The fritters are delightful and the larger, "fancy" donuts will also please a crowd. Make a stop, it's worth it. read more

My wife and I stopped here after shopping in Plainwell for a cuppa coffee and a doughnut. The customer service was excellent. Food and coffee was good. They have plenty of booth's and tables to sit down and relax. Plus as an added bonus they have a drive through which was pretty busy also. read more

The Plainwell Sweetwater's Donuts is THEE best! Typically, when we're in Plainwell, it's to pick up our granddaughter from her friend 's house or we're going to Grand Rapids, so it is in the afternoon. Typically, we arrive there at an "off time," and there might be 1 car or no cars in the lot. The amazing thing is we got fresh donuts! Another thing we find with the Plainwell location is C O N S I S T E N C Y ! ! ! The Sprinkle Road location and the Beckley Road location are not always consistent-- sometimes the donuts are fresh, and sometimes they're stale. Sometimes, there is filling in the donut. Sometimes, there's a dot of filling in the entire donut, and there seems to never be French cruelers (not sure how to spell that). We have always received fresh donuts at the Plainwell location! We have always received donuts that were filled properly/adequately. So the Plainwell location gets the 5 stars! Keep up the superior work, and managers--give your workers an "adaboy "! Show them or tell them you appreciate them! read more

Who doesn't like some delicious fried bread covered in sugar!!! This is a gem of a donut place. They have a ton of varieties and all the donuts are made fresh daily! I had the traditional glazed donut and a taste of the Bavarian cream filled donut. So delicious! If you're in the area definitely stop and pick up a dozen donut....oh and best part....they have a drive through window!!! read more

SW's Donut Mill - Donuts Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

SW's Donut Mill is so much different that the originals in Kalamazoo, in my opinion. The facility is absolutely amazing. Brand new building that is clean and quite stunning. In my opinion, the donut selection is sometimes lacking and the quality isn't as high as what it is in Kalamazoo. The donut holes are great and the long johns are huge. I don't go there enough to say if much has changed since my first few times going. It's slightly disappointing because the Kalamazoo locations typically don't run out of donuts and are always making more. I understand this location isn't open 24 hours but they don't always have what I'm looking for. They also wouldn't let my co-worker order donut holes through the drive through which I found strange. I hope they can get things a little more up to par so that they can actually stay open in our little town. read more

It is difficult to tell in the photo but all of the pastries in the case are HUGE. The cinnamon rolls are the size of a child's head. And the donut "holes@ are 1/3 of a donut. Pick your pastry and share with a friend read more

SW's Donut Mill - the front of the building - Donuts Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

I am an adoring fan of Sweetwater donuts. I have trashed the donuts of other bakeries in Michigan because they do not compare to the heavenly delights of Sweetwater's. If Sweetwater's ever went public, I'd be first in line to buy its IPO. But, if there is something that I never cared for - and I'm speaking about the two Kalamazoo locations and the Battle Creek location - it was how old and dated the three buildings were. Walking in to any of the three to enjoy a donut and a cup of coffee felt like time travel to when I was an undergraduate. Of course, as my girl has said, when you are open all of the time, everyday, churning out yummy donuts, you don't have a lot of time for remodeling or updating. That issue is not a factor in the Plainwell location. It is spacious, it is modern, it is gloriously new. And the donuts are just as delicious. read more

SW's Donut Mill - Donuts Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

Their selection and variety are INSANE!!! Huge fresh donuts! Literally took us 10 minutes just to choose!!! Lol Honestly not sure how they sell them as cheap as they do Very good value for the size and quality of donuts. The staff is very nice and personable. Lots of seating! They also have coffee, milk and pop! (soda for non Michigan travelers lol) This bakery is very clean inside and out! We didn't use the drive-thru but they seemed to get people through the line quickly. I'd give a higher star review if I could! read more

SW's Donut Mill - Their selection and variety is INSANE!!! Huge fresh donuts!!! - Donuts Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

Best spot in the Otsego/Plainwell area to get the most delicious donuts! The Plainwell SW's Donut Mill represents the franchise concept in both design, look and feel! It is a great location to checkout if you are interested in a franchise! The Good: 1. Well...hello...the donuts are phenomenal! 2. All the donuts are made fresh daily so they are always soft and chewy. 3. The service has always come with a smile and patience (my husband sometimes needs extra time since they offer so many options). 4. They have a drive-thru and parking lot that are both easily accessible. 5. The location is super convenient since it's located at an intersection with a stoplight and just East of US-131 on M-89! 6. The fritters are HUGE! No, I mean as big as your head huge if you have an enormous head! Or huge like....they're shareable among friends. 7. The cinnamon rolls are just as huge as the fritters and my absolute favorite! Plus, choose from icing, caramel and chocolate toppings. The Needs Improving: Umm.....I'm drawing a blank...I got nothing! Overall: A solid 5 stars! If you're in the area make sure to stop in and try SW's Donut Mill! You won't be disappointed! read more

Saying I'm obsessed with this place is an understatement! Unfortunately I live in Texas and can only get here during the holidays but I always look forward to stopping here each time I visit. They have such a huge variety and they're so unique and all are delicious. The cinnamon pecan crunch was a show stopper for me. Definitely check them out if you haven't! read more

Sweetwater's is a Southwest, MI institution.... almost a religion for people from K-Zoo. So it's a big deal to have one in little Plainwell. They make a solid product and are happy to do it. The service is fast and friendly and this location is set up really well. The donuts are top notch, and they don't fully buy in to the "Donut Fad" that is going on right now. They still make some silly donuts here and there, but they also stay true to the classics and they make a great cake donut I am a bit of a donut snob, so they aren't my absolute favorite donut place in West Michigan, but they are in my top 5 for sure. They need to work on their glazer at this location, it's a bit too crusty and flakes off too easily...but the flavor is there They know how to to it right, and because this location is in a small town...the Hipsters aren't there to ruin this location for you either, which is nice read more

This place is like donut heaven because there are so many different kinds and the majority of them are very tasty. I recommend the blueberry cheesecake, Boston cream, powdered sugar custard filled and powdered sugar chocolate filled. read more

SW's Donut Mill - Donuts Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

This is THE best donut store my parents and I have ever been to. They have an amazing variety, many of which are candy bar inspired. They are the perfect texture and the icings and fillings are to die for. They are also inexpensive and very fresh. Please open a SW's Donut Mill in the Bay Area! read more

SW's Donut Mill - a variety of doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Plainwell, Michigan

Went in the evening for a treat for someone who was sick and ended up with a Cinnamon Roll harder than a chunk of concrete. Not the first time this has happened as I got a donut a month ago that was so dry it literally fell apart in my hand. This was purchased midday. Called to complain about the donut and was assured that they are all soft as butter. Now this. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. They had a great reputation, now it's literally falling apart and written in stone. Won't be back, ever. read more

Best donuts anywhere! I used to love that they were open 24/7, but post-Covid their hours have changed and are now limited. Still, a great place for donuts, donut holes, and fast service. read more

Super affordable and many types to choose from! The hubs and I went here and picked out a half dozen! Honestly I am a fan of simple with just cinnamon sugar or powder sugar! I would have liked them better if they were warm. The staff was extremely friendly and patient! Right off the freeway aNd easy to get to. Defiantly a good thing to bring to co workers in the morning read more

This is my favorite donut shop in all the land! Yes, of all the places I've lived, and there are several, Sweetwater's is the best. I almost always get the apple fritter. Awesome! Coffee is good! read more

Where have all the menu items gone? No muffins 2 weeks in a row, no German chocolate donuts, "donut of the week, November 11 - 20th: coconut cream". On November 11th** Me: do you have any coconut cream donuts? SW EMPLOYEE: no Me: isn't it the the donut special? Employee:: not until the 11th. Me: today is the 11th Employee: oh. I don't know. **Last chance for sign of business being run as if being managed by someone who cares. I think I'd rather find someone who wants to sell me rocks...I feel bad for the employees having to answer for such poor management of a once good business. read more

Donuts are pretty decent here but only reason I am giving this a three star is the service. Everytime I go here an older lady takes care of me and my family. She is just absolutely awful. Never greets you, looks at you like your an idiot the moment you walk in. My entire family and I said hello to her specifically and goodbye and she didn't even turn her head! When taking our order she just looks so miserable. Please just fake a smile if you're going to be the face of a business. read more

This location completely screwed up/ forgot about my wedding order TWICE. This was 2.5 years ago, so I hope that aspect of their business has changed. I now work in Plainwell and have stopped into this location twice. The Reese's donut I've gotten for years at Sweetwaters on Stadium is the original - this location must be missing some ingredients because its disgusting and I don't ever say that about a donut. I have a feeling this location is a part of the chain owned by someone else. I'd go across the road to Clark's to get a good donut instead of this place any day. read more

WwwwwOW! I ordered the Cinnamon Sofa (aka) cinnamon roll. Not only was it superb but it was equal to 4 large cinnamon rolls. Truly the best quality EVER! Tender, moist, classic and perfectly sugar glazed! read more

Had black forest & Bavarian cream. Terrible _ did you lose the recipes? Very little filling! Will not be back.

On October 25th I contacted SW's to ask if they had any coconut cream donuts ready for purchase. I wanted that specific kind of donut for an 86 year old woman from Grand Rapids who had just experienced a house fire and literally lost everything. These donuts are her absolute favorite special treat and I wanted to brighten her day. When I contacted SW's they told me there were not any currently made, but offered to take the time to make some coconut cream donuts that day to be picked up at my convenience. They even added a couple extra for her in the box! Needless to say this lady was very happy to receive the surprise treat and wanted me to know that she is "savoring every bite." She was extremely touched that SW's would take the time to make the donuts just for her. I am very grateful for their personal touch and exceptional customer service. I will definitely be back for more, not just for her but for myself as well. Thanks again! JK read more

As always, SW's is delicious, fresh, and friendly. I love this location in particular, as the interior is much larger than and more comfortable than the other two I've visited. I love the "Squares"! So tasty! read more

Was absolutely delighted,when we heard Sweetwater was coming to Plainwell. I brag you up as having the best donuts in Michigan. Thanks for being so close,and local! read more

I normally would think of this place as 5 stars but I have had mixed experiences at this location. The selection of products can be limited later in the day and I have found the consistency of the product to be less than satisfactory. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful with any questions and offered suggestions when we asked. The smell will definitely make your mouth water. The interior of the location does look great as well. read more
