Some vengeful person must have some kind of personal vendetta against the owner of this shop or an employee. I really can't wrap my head around the negative reviews. The Dough Nut makes some of the best donuts I've ever had. Anywhere. This includes Top Pot in Seattle and The Big O in SLC. (Voodoo is nowhere near this list cuz their donuts are nothing more than generic tasting crap with creative names and decorations) The Dough Nut's donuts are more dense than the generic stuff you'll find in a grocery store or run-of-the-mill donut shop. And this is a good thing. There is supposed to be "dough" in a doughnut right?! The flavors taste like they should. Some shops call their donuts chai this or banana that... But their flavor is in the title only. Not The Dough Nut--their flavors taste like their namesakes and the Dough Nut does this very well. I'd give them 5 stars if they'd work on their website (which sucks, especially the mobile version) and improve the hole-in-the wall atmosphere in their stores. The donuts, however, are easily worth 5 stars. read more

Got up bright and early to get some donuts. Good selection but... the glazed ring was good but was very old (a couple days) the maple bar was good flavor. The twist was overproofed and the glaze was cracking. Glaze cracks when it's old. Not impressed but if the donuts were fresh it would be a 10/10. Ive been to midtown multiple times and this is the worst by far. read more

Great donuts , but there weren't many breakfast sandwiches due to COVID, but it was still great donuts. Awesome store!

"Peach fritters" it says on the sign out front. Five (yes, five) times I've stopped by to try a peach fritter and five times there have been no peach fritters. "Why not make more?" I've asked many times. All I get back is a blank stare from the person behind the counter. If this donut is so popular why not make more? read more

Came in and bought a vanilla frosted and a chocolate frosted . Both were old and stale. STOP SELLING STALE DOUGHNUTS YOU PIECES OF SH*T!!!! Jesus it's really annoying. Worst donuts ever. Safeway has better donuts lol gtfoh read more

Disappointing visit today, about 1:30pm. If you offer an espresso menu, you have to train your employees on it! Had to run back out to my car after placing my order, came back in to witness the employee voice-searching his smartphone: "how to make a cappucino." Should have ditched the order at that point...regardless to say it was an affront to the beverage. The three cake donuts in my order were hella stale. Sad face. read more

Went her to grab donuts on our way through town. Looked good and had some good reviews. We waited 10 minutes before anyone came out to take our order. We grabbed everything and got in the car to head out of town. The donuts were horrible! They weren't fluffy donuts like usual donuts they were gross cakey type donuts (yes I know some donuts are cake donuts, the ones we ordered should not have been) won't be back and won't recommend to anyone. read more

The doughnut. The place that you would see briefly in a James bond movie. Kevin didn't go in but was creepily waiting outside. Disclaimer Kevin is afraid of doughnuts so that's why he was hitting on the baristas at coffee republic next door. Even though they most likely have boyfriend's that live 100 miles away. In all seriousness great staff great doughnuts and Gatorade. The bacon Maple bar was maply enough to make a Canadian cry read more

STALE says it all!!!! this place sucks and not even a place to sit and eat your stale donuts!!! Coffee and service is not much better!!! Go at your own risk!!! Makes dunkin donuts seem like heaven!! This is the 755 greenwood location! read more

I don't understand why this place gets such bad reviews. This location is right down the street from my place and I've been there quite a few times and every time the experience was very pleasant. I like their donuts too. I usually don't get super fancy ones but they are all pretty good. My favorite is Chai donut and it is lovely! It is not blue star donuts from Portland but come on people don't we need to support local business?? read more

Love this place. They have so many options Plus great vegan options and good coffee too. Nice staff and shop looks clean.

Good donuts, terrible customer service. Telling a customer you cannot and won't check the ingredient list for allergen is unacceptable.

Ok I bought these donuts again at the new location on greenwood without realizing they were the same store that was on Galveston. I'm including a picture of the delicious LOOKING although pretty damn expensive treats I picked up. What you see in the photo was 14.00 bucks for 5 cakes ! These donuts and the one banana fritter are the strangest things ever. The so called banana fritter must have been mislabeled because I couldn't see or taste any banana. In fact, I think it is more accurately described as a dry cinnamon bun..... Sorta.... Kinda. The most promising looking one, delightful looking strawberry shortcake donut was the biggest disappointment of all. IT LITERALLY HAD NO FLAVOR!! I mean it tasted like nothing! No strawberry taste, no whip cream taste.....NOTHING! If it weren't for the fact that you were chewing, you'd have no idea you were eating anything and that's no exaggeration. To be fair, we ate the strawberry one following morning so I realize it wasn't fresh from the case but even still. It was like a beautiful woman with absolutely zero personality. Save your money and go to sweetheart donuts or Richards donuts if you want a great donut or hell, go to Fred Myers or Safeway and get one of those pre frozen things, you'll enjoy it more, I promise. I read a lot of the other reviews on here and honestly I think a lot of the five star reviews must have been written by friends because these donuts are terrible. I originally wrote this review and accidentally posted it under the other dough nut location on Galveston here on Yelp. It didn't take long before I received a very , very long "comment" from Kirk attacking everything from my intelligence, inability to spell, having no sense of location, inability to recognize the taste of strawberries, and apparent tendency to leave a woman feeling unsatisfied ,lol. Here's some advice for Kirk ( at both locations) who is obviously very proud of his lousy product: Instead of attacking, insulting and debating every bad review you get in the comments section , maybe you should just step up your game. Go to sweetheart donuts or Richards and see what a delicious donut or fritter tastes like then go back to your own shop and try to duplicate it. All kirk has accomplished, with his ranting comments to bad reviews ,is show that his attitude sucks as badly as the donuts he sells. Every other donut shop in bend receives consistently high ratings except this place. When a good portion of your reviews agree that your product is tasteless, stale, chewy, greasy and generally gross then maybe you should take a look at why you're getting poor reviews . Apologies in advance for any misspells or oversights while writing my review of the worst donuts in bend. I never been too good at book learnin or usin one of them fancy computer thingys but I know a crappy donut when I taste one . ( insert blank forest grump like stare here) To Sidonie Heppner : Regional manager and wife to Kirk the owner. The notification I receive says "comment made by Kirk H ." It Didn't differentiate between him and his wife so once again, my apologies . I'm so embarrassed. Thanks for setting that straight. I don't have ability to chat back and forth here to argue with you about my review as Yelp doesn't have a chat function and limits the comments. I'm sure you're 100% correct and I'm completely wrong along with all of the other reviews posted about your establishment that say your donuts suck. Just keep doing what you do, don't change a thing. Commercial leases are fairly easy to get out of and there are several places that specialize in selling used restaurant equipment so I'm sure you'll be just fine. Good luck read more

The Dough Nut Midtown - Donuts Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Wonderful shop with delicious doughnuts and kind staff. Tons of vegan options, each one more yummy than the last.

These doughnuts/bars are expensive - $2.75 each for apple fritters that aren't particularly large or good. I think Safeway fritters are better. Their cake donuts are very small and cost 99 cents each - they look like the Hostess ones that come in a box, and don't taste that much different. They do have gluten-free options; but one small cake donut is $3. They also have some interesting flavors of frosting/glaze for their raised donuts, and fillings; but they don't appeal to my taste buds...Chai, for example, and peanut butter with jelly filling. I will say their buttermilk bars are pretty decent. Overall, though, I will not be back to The Dough Nut - way overpriced; and not worth the money, in my opinion. read more

You cant be a small business in a small town and treat people with disrespect. I walk out of places like these and think "who is the hiring manager or owner? What is their game plan in all of this?" Walked in, was yelled to "be with you in a bit" from the back as a female poked her head from around a corner. Waited I'd say 6 solid minutes before a male came around the same corner and walked up to the cash register. Maybe the dirtiest kid I've seen in a long time at a food establishment. Others in my group asked some questions about the specific donuts to which this unshowered employee gave short very unenthused answers. BURDEN is the word I think of when I replay his answers in my head. As if we the customers are a burden to his life? his time? Like people mention in other reviews, the donuts are not very good. Plain and simple they seem older than a donut should be and for the price 100% not worth it. I get the whole idea of "gourmet donuts" but I believe that means putting in the time and effort to reach gourmet status. I wouldn't go back simply based on the product itself. If that were the only issue I probably wouldn't have written a review. The fact that this guy was so dirty and disgusting is why I'm writing. Going back to the fact that this is a small business, how did this slip by manager/owners? Are they the same? Is this an ok practice? It's one thing to be a certain way that you are incapable of changing or are attempting to be better at. It's another to simply not give a Sh*t. It was clear that he himself didn't care about the health regulations, his cleanliness, or the customers that were "bothering" him. With a handful of employees I think its safe to say the owner doesn't seem to care either. This review is not written out of anger or spite. It's just a matter of fact. Obvious observation that I thought I would share with others. Feel free to go experience this place for yourself, but if you read the opinions of many other people, its probably best you skip this place and find one of the many others. read more

Horrible customer service. No greeting on the way in, and the manager has a bad attitude. Should've saved myself 6 bucks and gone to McDonalds. read more

As a dough nut myself, this place is perfection. I am going to bring a box every Monday to work. My boss is GF so she loves their GF donuts. Yummy treats, great service. Overall : the best in Bend. read more
