The Perfect Dozen Donut Shop

Donuts were good. Unfortunately I showed up at 0900ish and selection was slim. Will go earlier next time. I do appreciate their business and agree w/ owner's responses to the entitled customers.

I came here for the first time. The service was very friendly, I was able to get what I wanted, and we loved the donuts. I’ll be back

1.This donut shop is an absolute gem! The service was incredibly friendly and efficient, with staff always ready to offer recommendations. The donuts are the star of the show—fresh, soft, and flavorful. I tried the chocolate glazed and the maple bacon, and both were divine. The ambiance was cozy, with charming decor that made me feel right at home. Perfect spot to enjoy a treat with friends or family!

Those donuts are delicious.I had to double down on my order this time around because my first order, a week ago, incidentally ended up on the roof of my car as I was getting my son buckled in. Family loves it. We're definitely coming back. Lastly, you can sense the people there are of good character. That always makes the experience that much more memorable.

The best doughnuts. Spoil yourself and go there. The people that work there are happy and are always kind to everyone. It's everything you want in a doughnuts shop..

Every town needs their donut shop and Lincoln, California has theirs: The Perfect Dozen!! A family run joint fueled by the love of their craft AND for the love of their customers, they never fail to hit the mark, going above and beyond in the moment and with their pre-order options. Classic and nuevo choices available ~ and if you really want to compliment your dozen, add a box of Peerless coffee to go! Thank you Perfect Dozen ~ Lincoln Loves You! ❤️

The donuts were great. We got an Apple Fritter, Maple Bar and a Maple and Chocolate Old Fashion donuts today. They tasted great. Some selections were limited, but they close at 11:00 am on Sunday, and we were there less than 90 minutes before closing. They open at 5:00 am. Staff were friendly and quick. Good traditional Donut Shop.

Great donuts!!! Awesome and friendly staff !!!! Highly recommend giving them a try and if you want specific donuts you can pre-order the day before to be sure they have what you're looking for as it's extremely difficult to know how many people are gonna come through every day. You won't be disappointed!!!

Stumbled upon this great little shop this morning before a round of golf. Omg, so yummy. These donuts are so good that apparently some people find it worth it getting up early to get their favorites. I agree with them. Those of you unhappy about a shop not keeping a 100% inventory of perishable items on hand on the chance "you" might drop in could use a little time reflecting. Cmon humans, you can do it.

This is our go to donut spot. We are so glad to have this place close by for the occasional breakfast. Our kids love the sprinkle donuts, I like the chocolate glaze and donut holes, and my husband gets the long John filled with bavarian cream. We try to get there early before they sell out.

Donuts are fine, but I'm trying to eat better for health reasons.

Wonderful place, good donuts, had a maple bar and chocolate old fashioned- great. I would suggest they use the app called “too good to go” to sell out their stock just before closing. A lot of bakery shops in sac are using this and it’s really cool. ( I’m not affiliated).

The donuts are delicious... IF you can get your hands on any. We've made attempts to go on multiple occasions, and are usually pretty disappointed to find that they are either already closed or have next to nothing left in stock hours before their closing time at 11. They really need to make some adjustents to their inventory to maintain happy returning customers. We've found its not even worth the trip if you're not in there within the same hour or two they open. Our experience the last time we were there left a bitter taste in our mouths. We got there around 8:30, to a very limited selection (pretty much down to one of each kind) Waited a while to be helped, then once we started being helped, before we could even give them our first selections, another employee started an order for the person behind us simultaneously and that person chose the last available donuts we had planned on getting. At one point while ordering, I pointed in the direction of a certian kind and the second person said "no that's my donut!" It was awkward. First come first serve seems like a fair concept to me considering there was next to nothing left but that's not a policy they seem to have in this shop.

We are disappointed every time we've come in here! It's not the taste of the donuts, it's that the cases are never stocked with basic donuts. Even if you're there 30 min after opening you'll have a limited selection. They close early every day claiming to sell out but it's only because they don't make enough donuts to get through the day. When I voiced my desire for a certain kind of donut I received attitude from the owner that I should've preordered. Not great customer service.

Horrible customer service. Rude behavior. Donut's are subpar. The comment section of the negative Google reviews are evident. Look at how she responds to people. (this review isn't from just today, but multiple occurrences)

Donuts are great. But the way they have people pick up pre-orders needs to change. Someone picked up the wrong pre-order which left staff scrambling and no one to serve customers that didn't have a preorder. Having preorders distributed by a staff member might help so customers who can't read don't pick up the wrong order. So I left very disappointed as it wasn't going to be resolved in a timely manner. OK I'm cranky because I really wanted a treat this morning but seriously the distribution needs to be improved.
