Chocolate Donut and Blueberry Coffee
Joneice B.

Ended up going here for breakfast as the establishment next-door was too packed and the reservation list was taken too long. It was quick and easy. All the donuts were ready to go. The coffee was hot and fresh. I ended up ordering the chocolate glaze donut and the strawberry crunch donut and paired it with the blueberry coffee. I was very satisfied with my selection and the donuts were nice and soft and fresh and flavorful. I thought the prices were pretty reasonable and they had a good selection of specialty donuts.

We originally planned to have brunch next door, but the wait was way too long, so we stopped into The Local Donut Shop instead and I'm glad we did! These aren't your typical donuts; they have a great variety of specialty flavors. I tried the strawberry shortcake and Bavarian cream and both were delicious. Daniel (owner or employee) was super friendly and helpful when I asked about the fillings. Only downside is parking can be a little crazy on weekends, but it's definitely worth a quick stop if you're in the mood for great donuts and coffee.

Shop, Cruller, Chantilly cream topped croissant donut and apple fritter
Theresa R.

Stumbled across this family owned donut shop in south Scottsdale on superbowl Sunday. What a variety of donuts with unique flavors and pastry like quality. So many to choose from. I chose a traditional dark chocolate cruller and a apple fritter. My non traditional pick was a Chantilly cream topped croissant donut. Great take out packaging. The apple fritter was filled with apple cinnamon goodness and was not greasy at all. The eggs cruller was topped with a hard shell of dark chocolate. The cruller dough was light with that rich egg taste. The Chantilly cream was like a pillow on top of a croissant dough donut. Definitely a pastry treat. This shop has plenty of traffic and we will be back on our annual trek to the area.

Went to breakfast next door so naturally had to stop in and get a post breakfast donut. So many amazing flavors to choose from but i went for the Girl Scout Cookie donut, made with traditional donut dough. The most incredible donut ever aside from a plain glazed.

This place has the best donuts in the valley!! They are fresh and they have the most delicious flavors from your classic glazed to strawberry shortcake! The salted caramel donut is the absolute best!! I could eat 20 of them!!

Visiting friends in the area and they made sure to bring us to everyone's favorite donut shop - the Local Donut. Located in a small strip mall next to the car wash. Ample parking in the front and tons more in the back lot. Since the new brunch spot opened in the same plaza, parking has been a little bit tougher but be patient the donuts are worth it. They have your regular donuts but what's cool and different about this place are their craft "fancy" donuts. We got a little of everything to try. Creme brulee, oreo, chantilly berry, maple bacon, apple cider, pumpkin cheesecake, and their cronuts. Enjoyed all the donuts and the flavors are top notch. Their freshly brewed blueberry coffee is a crowd favorite here. They have cute stickers and mugs for merch. Good donuts. Great staff & service. Highly recommend.

The Local Donut is located in a shopping center. They have parking in the front and around the back. We visited this location on a Thursday and Saturday morning and parking was not an issue. Both visits we did an assortment of donuts. The donuts are easily viewable in the case. Pricing is clear on the wall. All the donuts we tried were delicious and fresh. My favorite was the blueberry old fashioned. Store had a small seating area & was clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Thank you for a perfect sweet treat while we were on vacation!

Dozen assorted classic donuts
Haneen O.

I'd heard good things about this donut shop, and have tried a donut or two from here, but this was my first visit. I stopped by one weekend afternoon to pick up a surprise bag from TGTG. It's a great deal, donuts at a discounted price and you help reduce food waste. I got there and was greeted by the friendly employee. I let them know I had a bag to pick up and they packed up a box for me. I double checked my order and made sure I got my assorted dozen. I got home and tried a few flavors, including their chocolate glazed and red velvet crumb. Both were tasty, as was the chocolate sprinkle cake donut. I also froze some donuts as we weren't going to eat them all, and when I reheated it, it tasted good! Some of their fancy donuts in the shop looked really appetizing, like their cronuts and mochi donuts, so I'd consider paying more for the surprise bag that would include some of those. Overall, I'm so glad I finally stopped by this place and hope to come back again!

Old fashioned blueberry
Amber M.

Super cute spot to stop and pick up donuts. The staff were really sweet and helpful. It's small inside, room for seating. Lots of really unique flavors. We enjoyed the old fashioned blueberry. It was fresh and delicious!

pb&j, blueberry old fashioned, buttermilk bar, berry chantilly, s'mores, and maple bacon
Isabel K.

this is truly one of the best donut spots in the valley! service was extremely quick and kind, you can feel "mom and pop" vibes as soon as you walk in. we got a half dozen donuts including their specialty donut - the pb&j (my absolute FAVORITE, i can't believe how much it actually tasted like pb&j), the blueberry old fashioned donut (my other favorite), the buttermilk bar, s'mores, berry chantilly, and maple bacon. they were all fluffy, fresh, and didn't taste oily/greasy at all. the buttermilk bar was definitely the most dense of the donuts, which i don't prefer, but the flavor was still all there.

Chantilly cream cronut and creme brûlée donut
Vlad V.

After an event in the same shopping center, I stumped into The Local Donut. Located in a popular shopping center, I was able to find a spot. While they don't have the most creative name for a donut shop, I was very much impressed once I went outside. Ambiance (3/5): Pretty much a standard donut shop with hipster vibes. I got takeout but they have a couple of tables if you want to dine in. You order at the counter. Service (3/5): Since you order at the counter, service isn't a big part of the experience. There was no line so I ordered quickly. Even though there isn't much service, their electronic kiosk does ask for a tip. Drinks (N/A): Donuts only for me on this visit so I can't comment on their beverages. Food (5/5): Now this is what you've been waiting for. They have an impressive array of impressive donuts. They are known for their creme brulee donut and it lived up to the hype! It's is a delicious glazed donut. Don't pass on it. They also have cronuts and I'm a big fan of cronuts. I went with their chantilly cream cronut which was also delicious with its flaky and sweet goodness. If you've never had a cronut before, don't wait any longer. They have Nutella cronuts on the weekend only so I'll have to return since I stopped by on a weekday. While their specialty donuts are a bit overpriced, they are so good that they're worth it.

ALL I GOTTA SAY ISSSSSS GET THERE EARLY.....This place is great but sells out of they're specialty donuts quick...they are soooooo worth it a bit price but SUPER Delicious

So many varieties of doughnuts
Emma N.

This place is awesome! Parking is limited FYI. I loved the fun and colorful decor they had here! Cal was such a huge help and very friendly! The doughnut selection was also on point, so many different, fun and unique flavors. I decided to try the ube and milk crumb, since it's one of their limited time options. It was AMAZING !! I cannot wait to come back and try the other flavors here.

Well in my Donut Journey in Phoenix I discovered Rainbow Donuts…read more The donuts are massive in size. The flat square Cronut is fantastic, flaky, glazed, flavor bomb that sent me on a sugar high. The donut holes were fantastic & I wish I had gotten some. These were free. They were little bombs of delight that I could not stop eating them. The rest were just good average donuts. I would definitely stop back and would recommend the donut holes and Cronut.

The Best Donut Shop in Arizona!…read more Original Rainbow Donuts Cafe is hands down my favorite donut spot in Arizona. The donuts are pure perfection--soft, flavorful, just the right amount of sweetness, and always incredibly fresh. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. What really sets this place apart, though, are the amazing owners. They're incredibly kind and generous, always greeting customers with warmth and a smile. You can tell they genuinely care about the people who walk through their doors. Always clean and a great little welcoming donut shop! They have an impressive selection of donuts every single day, and recently they even extended their hours to be open seven days a week and stay open later--just so more people can enjoy their delicious treats, even later in the day. They make more donuts now too, and that just shows how committed they are to serving their community. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. This place is a gem!

First time I…read morehad it 5 stars, that pesto is so flavorful I thought there was meat on it (mind you I'm a pescatarian, so I was scared for a minute) Second time, the ciabatta was fighting me back (chewy like it had beef with me), so 4 stars. But flavor..still slaps. Third time is a charm....back to 5 stats! Now, about the doughnuts! They're fluffy, they're pretty, they come dressed to impress. But the toppings! Whew, sweet on sweet on sweet. And this is coming from me, someone who never says no to sugar. If my sweet tooth is waving the white flag, you know it's serious.

I love a good donut and was disappointed in these donuts. They were just average…read more The turtle donut looked fabulous, but had very little caramel flavour in the topping The lemon was more artificial than real lemon flavour The coconut donut was the winner. The flavour came through with no artificial aftertaste. The double chocolate was not a chocolate donut. My bad for not reading the product description. It was chocolate frosting with chocolate chips to achieve the double title The donut itself was not greasy, but did not rock my socks with awe.

We were greeted by two friendly faces and asked if we visited before. The person behind the counter explained their array of offerings and was patient while we made a selection. There are a variety of donut flavors from plain to strawberry shortcake. In addition to donuts, they offer breakfast sanwiches, coffee, ice-cream, and cocktails. They also have a donut and beer flight! A bit spendy for a donut at $3.85 each or 4 for $15, but honestly, compared to other specialty donuts I've tried, this is worth it! The space was clean with plenty of seating. It was inviting and felt like a nice place to hang out for a bit. We opted for the maple as that's my go-to flavor and it did not disappoint! It was certainly sweet, but the glaze was well done. The layers are flaky, but also offered a bit of density, making the whole thing texturally enjoyable. We had to stop ourselves from indulging in another so as to not ruin our appetite, but we would certainly recommend and visit again!

I brought my dog and met some family friends for a delicious brunch. They brought the dogs water and were accommodating of our larger party. The Hot Chicken & Biscuits were delicious, I'm a big spicy fan so the spicy sausage gravy was the perfect topping to the biscuits and loved how the chicken was cooked since it wasn't overly breaded. We also had the breakfast Benny which had perfectly poached eggs and a side of potatoes with it. Such a great brunch!

My friend and I came here for brunch on a Sunday. Parking was so busy; I had to loop around twice…read morebefore I snagged a spot (didn't want to do valet). Right next door to OHSO and owned by the same folks (hence the name, Little O's). The patio was pretty full and we were quoted a 30 minute wait, so we decided to order takeout and grabbed one of the couches available. This ended up being a great option as we got to chill outside and not worry about being served. It's next to the canal and I saw a lot of bikes on the racks. My friend ordered the Snatched: toasted croissant, smashed avocado, egg whites, tomato slices, arugula, feta, pesto, side of fruit. I got the chilaquiles: corn chips, red and green enchilada sauce, fried egg, crema, cotija, pico, cilantro. Since we don't drink alcohols, we ordered from their classics menu and chose the morning brew: vanilla & macadamia nut cold brew w/ cream, served cold and the Camelback chai latte: chai tea with white chocolate, salted caramel, & vanilla topped with whipped cream & cinnamon, hot. Last thing we ordered was the Cookie Monster mini donut: chocolate frosting, blue sprinkles, cookie crisp. Our food and drinks were delivered in a bag with plastic utensils. My entree, the chilaquiles, were pretty good. Most of the chips were soft already because of the sauce but there were a few crunchy ones on the side. It was flavorful with all the ingredients and I easily finished it. My chai was good, more on the sweet side but I liked it. The donut was yummy as well. Even though we weren't being served, one of the employees came by to check on us which was cool. Overall a chill spot for brunch! I'd like to come back and try different items.
