This place is fantastic! Donuts are delicious - they range from classic to fun and creative. My kid said it's a culinary wonder. The staff is very friendly and it's fun to eat there. They have savory options like biscuits and gravy or burritos for those who don't want something sweet. read more

I normally venture that far east on Arapahoe Road so early in the morning but one of my coworkers told me about their bear claws so I thought give them a try. Awesome!! They also bacon maple donuts.Seriously!! I bought just one for myself just to try it. I'm very impressed!! read more

One of the better donut shops in the area which are few and far between. Only donut I have gotten is the white icing and sprinkles. Very tasty and fresh. Haven't tried anything else because these are good enough! Wish they had vanilla iced sprinkle donuts! read more

Wow, Nicole the new owner makes some great donuts!! Taking on a business in the middle of a pandemic takes real guts!! Let's get behind her as a community for her continued success. Her donuts are great. #locallyowed read more

Under previous ownership, I was a straight up evangelist for this place. It's not that close to my house, but I raved about it every time donuts came up in conversation, and we would make the journey frequently to enjoy their traditional but amazing treats. But this is no longer the case. The donuts have gone from hall-of-fame great to above average at best and downright mediocre at times. And, to pile on to the disappointment, they bake way fewer donuts every day and seem to always be under-supplied. Last time I visited (at only 9:00am), they were out of old-fashioned, sugar raised, and a few others that are in my normal rotation. Old ownership always had a case chock full of everything, well into the morning. I genuinely wish these new owners all the best, and I will keep checking back periodically to see if things have improved. They took over in the months prior to COVID, so I'm sure the road hasn't been easy. I'm hoping this is just some temporary disappointment before things are restored to their former glory. But at the moment they're dropping the ball. read more

We moved to the area within the last year and love The Donut. Walking distance and fantastic donuts. We've had the donut holes, bear claw, apple fritter, jelly donut, and chocolate covered. All delicious! They've adapted well to the COVID stuff, too. read more

Stopped in while waiting for the wife who was having coffee with the friends. Grabbed one for the kids and I. Mine was delicious and my kids didn't make a peep for next minutes, too busy enjoying. read more

Great donut shop. The owner and chef are super friendly. They also serve breakfast burritos (beware the delicious ghost pepper side sauce) and kolaches! read more

Came later in the afternoon so a lot of the specialty donuts were sold out already. Enjoyed the red velvet and strawberry donut. Reasonably priced and quick service. read more

I hadn't been to the Donut in months and when I returned last week, they appeared to be under new ownership. The new manager or owner was not at all friendly and the donuts weren't good at all. They used to have some of the best donuts around. I'm super sad about this. Hopefully things improve quickly. read more

Okay so this is hard to review. Previous owner was a GEM!!! A sweetheart. Loved her. Miss her. BEST cake donuts ever. She'd remember my name even though I'd only come in 6-12 times a year. Prob because of the amount of cake donuts I purchased. I went in today and didn't realize the new ownership. Positives: Fresh new look, burrito option, glazed donut was actually pretty great... donut holes option (didn't get any, but we love) Not So Positive: Cake donut didn't taste the same (no!!!!), they ran out of chocolate milk????? Wait?? How?? Never has that happened there before. It's a must for a kid. Lastly... new owner, well. Not so friendly to be quite honest. I was curious about the details of the switch and she wasn't too excited to share. I was just a curious customer... she just wasn't nice to be frank. I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come. I hope you remember the customers that have been loyal for so many years, be generous with your kindness and PLEASE master the previous cake donut recipes. read more

It's the first time here, love local shops. Nice folks and the huge Texas donut, awesome. read more

I used to consider this to be the best donut shop in Denver, but since the new owner took over, things have been slipping. I keep stopping by in hopes that it's just a hiccup but I'm down to maybe giving them one more try. The long johns were my favorite but they no longer seem fried, no crispy edges anymore and now, today they looked about half as big as they used to. Very disappointing, I wish they'd get the old donut master back for a refresher course. read more

I found myself on the hook for the donuts for an early morning meeting and after looking at reviews for doughnut places near my hotel I came across this one. Surprisingly empty for a 0730 in the morning I was worried I made a bad decision and had no time to correct it. The people working behind the counter were very welcoming and I ended up getting 2 dozen donuts to go. They quickly had them ready for me and even threw in an extra for free. The price was good and the donuts were so good and even the local meeting attendees were asking me where I got them. read more

By far hands down best donuts in town. Stay away from the chains when you can buy from a locally owned shop. Always fresh, excellent selection and very friendly owner and staff. I had the best Apple fritter I've ever had, so delicious. I ask for a lemon filled and the owner said I'll make you one, went into the back filled me with lots a lemon and came back out with a smile. It doesn't get any better then The Donut. You defiantly need to give it a try. read more

These people love donuts! They have great coffee too! Their donut selection is enormous, and they taste great.

The to go coffee is not even is as big as a grande from Starbucks. Won't go back until a larger size coffee is an option

Again, the best donut shop in Denver!! Made fresh, never frozen junk donuts! Open early and the donuts are still soft from just being made! We are working on the 4th generation of coming to The Donut!! If you don't try it, you'll never know the difference from a great donut to a fad donut!! F.R read more

The Donut - Going on 4 generations of coming to The Donut!! None better anywhere!! - Donuts Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

Just happened to be here after a visit to the DMV. Wanted to love this place with it's new ownership but my whipped cream-filled long john was so very average. Made me sad. Greasy & fairly taste-free. read more

They are AMAZING! I want Krispy Kreme, but decided to buy local because of the pandemic and etc. WORTH IT! I've driven past this place every day for the last 10 years, never went in. Now, I'll choose this over Krispy Kreme any day. And it's closer! The people are nice, they're considerate and aware of social distancing! An fantastic small business, can't express this enough! read more

This is the best donut shop in Denver. Period. In an age of complicated, and over the top fancy donuts, The Donut, like the name, keeps it simple and perfect. Love the white cake donuts with vanilla icing and rainbow sprinkles. Such great flavor and always fresh. The glazed twists are also a favorite classic for our family. Not to mention, this is a family owned shop. Support local. read more

Just not the same donuts. Poor effort, do not taste good. So sad as the previous owners were meticulous in flavor and presentation. Seems compromised in quality. read more

The donuts here are amazing!! Great place and great staff! I definitely recommend coming here.

How good are they?! Let me put it to you this way, Dunkin doughnuts, Krispy Kreme, Winchell's doughnut house, Voodoo doughnuts. They do not even compare to here High Quality great staff, when I first came here and ordered my doughnuts after having something so good no other place could even come close so why settle for anything less then the best. Trust me when I say these are amazing you will always enjoy each doughnut and its worth the price. Anyone who's looking for great Quality doughnuts come here you will thank me read more

Their white cream filled donuts are the best I have ever tried. Great cake and old fashioned donuts. The new owners haven't changed the donuts and they now serve Daz Bog coffee! read more

Really, no complaints, donuts tasted great and the teenage staff members were cool, too. A half-dozen donuts were $7 (which, for you math fans out there, would be 6 ;-) ). Good local place! read more

I love this place! I'm personally more of a fan of your less crazy, non-Voodoo type donuts and this place definitely hits the spot. They have everything from old-fashioneds, maple bars, cinnamon rolls, bear claws + your regular flavored/frosted donuts. Definitely our go-to shop, but just remember to bring cash if you expect your purchase to be less than $5 because they don't take credit cards under that amount....which, big time gripe about that in general, but I think I love this place enough to plan accordingly or plan to pig-out. read more

So this place is definitely your local donut shop. No frills or mass marketing here (good thing). That being said, one would expect a much friendlier business. When greeted, it felt sort of like I was on that old Seinfeld episode with the Soup Nazi. While there was no one else around, you would've thought there was a crowd. One man walked in while I was ordering but there was a rushed feeling well before that. Now onto the donuts... The apple fritters are flat and had no apples. The glazed donut is more on the dense side rather than airy and light. Some might prefer it this way but not me. read more

I went to this family-owned restaurant/bakery a while back, and then stopped in again today for some gyro fun for lunch. They have a basic Greek lunch menu including gyros (chicken or beef) and falafels. The first thing I noticed when entering was the smell of sweet, fried donuts. The lunch here is OK. You do get a big portion on your gyros, especially if you get all the veggies. The fries are seasoned with both salt and pepper. Overall, I'd give the gyro 3 stars, but the extra star is for the donut that's included in the combo. You can have your krispy kreme, mass produced donut, while I munch on the donuts here. Yes, I said it, the donuts here are better than Krispy Kreme. They may be a bit more expensive as the initial reviewer said, but they're also bigger and I like to support local business instead of gigantic corporations. read more

Love the maple bacon! Love a Saturday morning donut trip, like when I was a kid. Donuts as big as your head, hot chocolate, coffee. Super helpful happy employees. read more

Good donuts. My favorites were the bavarian filled long john and the bear claw. The fruit flavored doughnuts( cherry and blueberry doughnut) had an artificial aftertaste I didn't really care for. The regular glazed and chocolate doughnut just kind of average. Vanilla maple and maple filled cream doughnut were good. Oil they use to fry taste somewhat processed. Good prices. read more

Please stop changing so much of a business that was a staple in the community for so many years. My kids LOVE the sprinkle donuts and how they hardly have sprinkles, the staple good things were sold out by 9:30 on a Saturday which isn't normal. Too much has changed and it's a big disappointment. I've been visiting The Donut since 1997. The people working also seem like they don't care. One blonde lady was on her phone and the feedback to the kid was completely ignored, no sorry or anything. Please fix it! read more

This place is the real deal as far as donuts go. It is a family-run establishment and the service is friendly and fast. They always have a large selection of donuts which all look good (and taste good from what I've had). The cream-filled donuts are amazing - they don't skimp on the cream at all. I also love the red velvet donuts. Any kind of donut you want they will have. I can't go here too often as these are real treats, but I definitely love this place. read more

Donuts are something I only splurge on occasionally, but I was very glad I chose to today! We had family in town and decided to check out The Donut as a treat. I first loved that the location was so convenient (only a 3 minute drive from our house), but was extra impressed with the selection and quality packed into this little shop. It is clear that he owner loves and takes pride in what he does. He was very helpful as I was trying to decide which donuts to choose for my dozen, something I always need help with. The donuts were baked perfectly and I really enjoyed the blueberry cake donut (that is the only one I have tried so far). My husband enjoyed his fritter as well. Definitely check this place out, we will be back every time we have guests in town at the very least, but I'm sure even more often than that! read more

You guys! They have a donut toped with fruity pebbles. Need I say more?! The guy who was working I believe was the owner. He was super friendly and chatted a little with me while I tried to figure out what I wanted to order. I don't eat donuts on a regular basis but when the need strikes again I know exactly where I'll be running to! read more

Love the blueberry donut! All of the donuts are absolutely delicious, but the blueberry stands out because it's rare. I had the donut cater my school event, and they were a total hit. The store is always busy. My favorite donut place ( coming from a donut lover!!) read more

We love this family owned establishment. The BEST donuts in town and great family friendly customer service. I'll come here for as long as my waist belt will allow! read more

This has always been my favorite donut spot and have been frequenting this business weekly for decades. Unfortunately, the quality has really gone down hill recently now that it's under new ownership. I've found that more times than not, they're out of donuts early in the morning and the donuts we picked up last weekend were over fried, uneven, hard and lacked adequate frosting. We ended up dumping the entire box. I really wish the new owners the best and I hope to give it another shot in a couple months, but I'm done for now. read more

Such a cute little shop and the doughnuts are amazing. The custard filled is delicious! They even have a little kid sized table that my daughter was in love with. read more

This is a great local, family run donut shop. The donuts are good, with a wide variety of cake, raised, and speciality styles. Very popular on the weekends. They've also got indoor and outdoor seating. read more
