    Burnt croissant
    Mariah P.

    I've been here before and initially had a great experience. However, I haven't been back for a while as I don't live in the area but I'm currently 9 months pregnant and was craving a cheese croissant and a good donut. I returned back to this place remembering it was good. I walk in and ask if they have a cheese croissant. Not ham and cheese, just cheese and the girl tells me we have ham and cheese if you want that and I said oh, I can't have ham and she looks at the croissants and tells me, we can make you a cheese croissant if you want. Not sure why that initially wasn't offered as that's what I specified when asking for one. When I paid, I wasn't asked if I had a punch card, nor was it mentioned. I bought a small milk and another girl came out and rung me up for the milk and asked if I had a punch card, when I said no, she gave me one and I told her I didn't know they had a punch card as I just purchased 3 items. I waited 5 minutes for my croissant only for them to bring it out to me cold with 2 slices of cheese in the middle not melted at all. I had already left, had to turn back around and ask them, are your guys ham and cheese croissants served cold too or ? & the girl looked at me and said oh it didn't melt all the way? The croissant was cold to the touch the cheese was just slapped in there it wasn't melted at all. Not even a bit. Didn't apologize or anything. They brought it back out to me and the entire bottom of my croissant is burnt. Doesn't taste appetizing at all. This felt intentional. Again, no apology. I will absolutely not be returning back here which is disappointing bc I initially liked it but the energy felt weird today.

    Review 104/365 Day Challenge It's been a good minute coming to TDC. Every time i come here, greeted always w good vibes. Especially the service is always impeccable. Met a gentleman named Noah who helped assist mee. Really kind & personal. Loved his interaction of him helping mee pick a donut for my middle son named Lennon "Noah" hehehe Love that they offer Gluten Free along w protein donuts. It's been awhile and they also now have lots of varieties of lattes along w Avocado Toast. Varieties of breakfast sandwich that I'll have to return to give those a try. This morning i came in mainly for a particular donut for my son. ~ Bear claw ~ Apple Fritters were both huge and so yum! Definitely recommended. were the 2 i grabbed along with of course I had to grab the ~ dozen donut holes. Our families all time favorite. I mean who doesn't love the fluffy small ball shape donut that is so easily to pop into your mouth as a 1 bite donut. The shop is always so cute with decor themed to the holiday season. This time it's Fall vibes. Has some cute merchandise including tumblers, cups, tshirts, sweatshirts. Must check out. The have tables and booth like chairs inside the shop and a few tables outside w an umbrella for shading. Located right be to RichFarm Ice Cream shop and a nail salon. Same plaza as Pizza Hut. Definitely a recommended shop for locals or supporters near and far.

    I stopped in to pick up a dozen donuts for the office. I thought the price was reasonable at $21.50, or approximately $1.79 each. That's definitely a savings compared to the cost of a single donut. I indulged in the cinnamon crumb variety, and it was so soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It was definitely on the sweeter side of the spectrum, but that didn't stop me from inhaling the entire thing! The coffee was the perfect breakfast blend - so fresh and not bitter in the least. It also delivered an instant and much needed energy boost! Even at 7am, I still received service with a smile. What a gem of a shop this is!

    Glazed donuts. Mini gender reveal box.

    I recently visited the Donut Chain and asked for help with a mini gender reveal for myself. The two girls helping me this morning were absolute amazing! They went above and beyond putting a box of donuts together for me and it made the moment even more special. The donuts are so good as well! My daughter loves the chocolate donut with sprinkles and my husband loves the glazed donuts.

    A dozen donuts

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon for some donuts. The guy at the counter was very nice and welcoming. They have some seating area so you could enjoy there. This is a small local donut shop in the area that I would for sure come back. The donuts were very fresh and fluffy. I liked that they were not dense and they didn't feel greasy. I loved the cinnamon ones the best, but they are all great. They are not too sweet.

    Best donuts ever!

    The best donuts I've ever had! Can't wait to try more. I had mine a day later and they still were super fresh and delicious!

    This place is super cute. The female staff is always so nice to my daughters! We come every weekend

    Delicious donuts and mini baby donuts
    Vince A.

    Outstanding and delicious donuts here. One of the cleanest donut shops I've ever been to. The selection is top notch, and very surprised to find thentiny donuts here were made with detail and just as tasty as a full size. Fast and friendly service. Happy to see another business partner with the TooGoodToGo app. Definitely a new favorite place to visit.

    I originally wasn't looking for a donut shop but actually came here for some iced coffee because it was close by, however, they had some interesting donut flavors that you wouldn't find at any other mom and pop shop so I had to buy a couple! The front of house staff working was extremely patient with me and answered any questions I had promptly. I had a few classic donuts but the two that got me interested were the blueberry glaze and cinnamon twist donuts. They were unlike anything I've had at any other donut shop and both were great. Every single donut was fresh and very delicious! I also had a large iced coffee and that was great but a little watered down for my liking. Don't sleep on this location. I 100% recommend this spot if you're looking for a small donut business to support!

    Donuts were yummy here. I do wish the maple bars were a bit bigger because they're so good! I love how light it is on sweetness, makes a perfect donut!

    Easy location to come get your donuts! Not all donuts are…read moremade equally- I drive by a couple other shops to get here. The donuts are light and fluffy. Don't taste like stale oil. A wide variety. The apple fritters are loaded with fruit! Today was just a run for donut holes. They have more than just donuts also to accompany a quick stop for breakfast or snack. I haven't tried lunch but they have a good menu! The staff is always smiling and friendly and this is knowing they get up early to start their shifts! Great service, great product! You can grab and go or sit and relax in one of the inside tables. Bottom line this is your stop for great donuts!

    Today's National Donut Day! It's been quite a while since I've been to Station Donuts, so I…read morethought I'd give them another try. I came late, like a couple hours before closing, but they still had a decent selection of donuts available. They all had a beautiful presentation and looked delicious, but I managed to narrow it down to a chocolate cronut and a maple bacon raised donut. The cronut was generously dipped in a deliciously decadent chocolate and was very good. The maple bacon donut base was light and fluffy, but the bacon would have complemented the flavor profile better if the grease were patted down before it was sprinkled on top. You can see from the photo that it's still quite shiny (greasy). They do have breakfast sandwiches as well as grab and go meals and snacks if you're looking for something a bit more filling or healthier than donuts. This visit was definitely better than my first one, so I'll keep Station Donuts in mind next time I'm at n the mood for a donut.

    Stopped at AK's Donuts today for the first time. Read several reviews so was anxious to experience…read morethe donuts there. Unfortunately, when I got there (about mid-morning) most of the better donuts were gone. I did get a crumb donut that was very good, and a chocolate filled which also was good. I guess my problem was paying nearly $5.00 for 2 donuts, and it was at a walk up window. Coming from Oregon, and paying about $3.50 for 2 donuts, I can see why people are leaving California. The cost of everything is out of control. Like 3 chili cheese dogs at Weinersnitchel for $12.50. It just nuts!!!

    BEST DONUTS EVER!!!!!!!!!…read more I grew up on A.K's. Donuts. My Dad would bring me here before school and we would have a donut together. Now as an adult I still stop here when in town just to taste the sweet memories. That is exactly what my wife and I did last week. I picked out a Apple Fritter that I ate so fast, I never even got a picture lol. As always there was apples in every bite. I also had to get a cinnamon roll because they are the best. The cinnamon rolls here are coated with a good amount of glaze but it isn't overly sweet so it is good. They don't skimp on the cinnamon either. My wife had a Bear Claw (her fav here) and could only eat half so I had to do my duty and finish it. The thing melts in your hand when you even pick it up. The bear claw looks big and heavy but it is light, soft, and just plain good. The apples inside are just a bonus. Prices range from .80 cents, .85 cents, .95 cents, and $1.25 for donuts. You make your purchase at the window (no inside entry) and they clearly display all the fresh donuts they have at the moment in the window. There is some seating outside if you are lucky enough to grab a spot from one of the regulars but I have eaten most of my fair share right in my own car in the parking lot.
