Grew up getting donuts at this place as a kid -- always loved the donuts and the family that owns this business is so nice. This will always be my favorite donut place.

My husband and his father have been coming here for years... Truly GREAT DONUTS! Owner is always friendly and the donuts never disappoint. When we come to visit, we always stop here before heading home! Yum

A wide variety of fresh donuts, pastry, and croissants made throughout the morning. They stuff the Bismarck per your order! The donut holes are lightly glazed.

Great prices, great quality glazed donuts. I like that they are open late and still have donuts later in the day, not just in the mornings.

Croissant sandwich was excellent. Cinnamon Roll, soft. sweet and the right amount of glaze. Raspberry Donut amply filled. Good basic coffe, self serve. Very clean dine- in tables Friendly staff. Recommend.

Maybe they put some sugar in the batter or some other ingredient but these donuts are delicious! They have the gamut from plain old fashioned to kid-friendly, day-glo treats. Mom and pop who run it are very nice. Location in a half empty mall is a little dreary.

I didn't have high expectations for these Donuts when I saw the building that it was in and I had even lower expectations when I actually saw the donuts. While the woman was getting my Donuts I was actually thinking about my review in my head that the woman was very nice but the donuts were not good. Of course this was based on how they looked. As a legitimate donut snob I don't have much tolerance for bad donuts. In this case however, looks were deceiving and these Donuts were amazing especially the chocolate and maple raised Donuts. The old fashioned was okay. But if I'm ever in the area again I will absolutely be stopping here light and fluffy Donuts.

A very clean and friendly shop. Donuts were above quality average. I had an apple fritter, it was delicious. Didn’t feel like a ball of dough in my stomach, after eating.. I’ll definitely be back.

This place TOTALLY lives up to its name! I don’t usually leave reviews, but having breakfast at Great Donuts literally knocked my socks off! The apple fritter was amazing (I had one right out of the oven) and the egg, cheese, ham, AND bacon croissant breakfast sandwich brought tears of joy to my eyes (I was really hungry that day)! If you’re in the area, make sure you stop by and treat yourself to a Great Donut!

Delicious donuts! Do not let the place/building deter you from here. They are just like a hole in the wall kind of place. Really good. Friendly staff

Excellent donuts. Well glazed and fluffy, not too heavy. Affordably priced as well. 10/10 will be back!

So These folks are so nice and kind and so friendly and don't resent you for coming into their shop, actually care about customer service. Not just cash only, but it's 5 dollar minimum with a card 😢. The breakfast sandwich can compete with other shops. Plenty of parking 🍩

Saw the reviews and stop by from out of town. Brought 3 doughnuts and a cream cheese danish. 5 bucks owner says. Didn't ring me up. Put money on counter. Wonder how much it really costed me? WEIRD EXPERIENCE Chocolate twist was dry and hard. Not fresh at all. Had better looking ones and tastier ones from other small doughnut shops.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Place is a dump and smells like bad plumbing once you walk in. I ordered donuts and the older guy at the counter had an attitude. He also dropped the jelly tube on the ground and picked it up and continued to stick it in the donut to fill it 🤮 so unsanitary!

I been to this place 3 separate times and these are easily the worst donuts I've ever had, vibes are always off, unwelcoming. Food tastes like giving up

they charge you more then there board says the prices are and when i said something we calculated it, it was wrong, i already paid. then was told those are old prices. Clearly just trying to take advantage of people. So watch what they charge you. You will pay more then they advertise
