    Absolutely fantastic donut shop! The donuts are fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet without being over the top. Great variety too--from classic glazed to fun specialty flavors--and everything we tried was delicious. The staff was friendly and quick, and the place had that classic donut shop vibe that just makes you want to come back. Easily a 5-star stop if you're craving a great donut and a cup of coffee.

    National Donut Day is no joke in Tucson AZ! Already at 8 am there is a line of ppl out the door... they were ready though, tons of people on hand ready for orders! It was very overwhelming, everything looked amazing and fresh!!! I will probably keep this place in normal rotation! Crumb donut, one I typically am not a fan, was actually the stand out! Raspberry jelly donut was ok, not a fan of how bitter raspberries can taste, wish more places carried strawberry!

    It was too early to get fried chicken, but was able to pick up a variety of donuts for my co-workers. I was very appreciative of the large and smaller sized versions of apple fritters and cinnamon roll. Besides those, I had bought some old fashions, jelly filled glaze, twists, and bacon maple bars. All of it was great. All were very soft, fresh, and not overly sweet. Sometimes, a lower quality donut will leave your mouth feeling greasy or leaves an odd feeling/taste and these didn't do that. Their yeast and cake donuts are really good and I like them a lot better than the competition in this area. Alvernon's isn't too close to my office and far away from home, but I am going to go back to try the fried chicken and any other savory items.

    It was just melt in your mouth fabulous. I love donuts. I always have. They surprised me with adding a couple donuts holes. This is my new favorite donuts shop in town. Love them. Tried the chocolate frosted and I just was perfect. Makes me wanna go back and get more

    Yum!

    This donut shop makes some GREAT DONUTS! Continue reading if you want more details. The donuts are light and fluffy. They taste fresh. The staff member was friendly and attentive. Just a heads up they are updating their menu and they will post a new menu when completed. Thus, at the moment there is not a menu in the store to review. And yesterday they did not have any croissants - although I had chosen the croissant based on a previous photo of the menu here on Yelp. The little shop appears to be going through some transitions but it is delicious.

    Donuts!!!

    A very sweet (pun intended), family-owned donut shop in midtown Tucson. A great selection of fresh donuts (get there early for a larger selection of donuts), and the owners are super friendly. The yeast donuts are so soft! So soft that I was almost afraid of injuring the poor thing when I picked it up. And the shape of the filled donut is a little flatter and wider than what you might see other places. This means that the filling is spread across a wider area of the donut. And the fillings are great! And the frostings have specks of real fruit. These donuts just melt in your mouth. So, get up a little earlier, and head on over to Alvernon and 22nd St. for some tasty goodies, and enjoy those delicious calories. They are definitely worth it!

    best donuts in town. Glazed are soft even right before closing. Drive through is convenient and prices are in line with most places.

When my husband received our drink order and tasted his, he told me it didn't taste right. (He orders the same thing at every place, a vanilla latte) He asked the employees if it was the correct coffee and let them know it did not taste right. Instead of remaking it or apologizing to rectify the issue, they were rude and unopologetic. The employee told him, that's how we make it here and that they would not remake it. They also said they have plenty of customers, so us not returning would not hurt their business. This is now the second time my husband has not had the best experience at this location. I did taste his vanilla latte and it tastes like dirty milk. I'm disappointed in their service and now the coffee as well. I'm sad to leave this review. My husband and I use to come here quite often. We have recently been visiting many of the small locally owned coffee stores around Tucson. One, to broaden our coffee buds and two, to support the local small businesses. This is one we will not be returning to.

Unfortunately, the service felt a bit cold, no one acknowledged me, and the staff didn't seem very welcoming or engaged. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which came unsweetened. No one mentioned that ahead of time or pointed out where the sweeteners were, so I had to look around for them myself. The matcha had a nice flavor, but the texture was a bit grainy, suggesting it might not be the highest quality. Also, the bathrooms are located all the way in the back, and there isn't enough signage to guide you there easily. Overall, it has a lot of charm and a great location, but the customer experience could definitely be improved.
