    Apple Fritter / Cherry Burrito
    Craig H.

    Stopped by to just get a few donuts in the early afternoon on a Sunday. I'm a apple fritter nut, and always judge a donut shop based upon the fritter. So, I ordered one of those. I also like when a shop comes up with something out of the box...so, I ordered one of the cherry burritos. The Apple Fritter was perfect, nice crunch around the outside, great flavor and cake in the middle. The burrito was very tasty as well, pastry dough stuffed/folded like a burrito then fried and glazed. I have not tried the other donut shop in Carson, but, it will be hard to beat Carson Donuts.

    4/8/2023 Out for a nice Saturday drive.. Finally made it when they were open..nice and full display of donuts.. Picked up the glazed twist and an interesting apple burrito.. Glazed twist was nice and fluffy, not too sweet.. Apple burrito was good to try but a tad to sweet. Glad to stop and will again in the future!

    I wanted to grab something fun for breakfast & found this gem in the area I was in. Carson Donuts is hidden, but not dead. On an early Thursday morning (5-6am), there were constant customers. I can tell why! The doughnuts were delicious and the owner/worker was so kind. She greeted us, patiently waited while we browsed the variety of doughnuts since it was our first time, & boxed up our doughnuts nicely. The place is very small, but homey. On the walls are pictures of their kids and doughnuts, like a cute photoshop.

    Amazing

    Excellent!! Everything I bought was great. The burritos were fantastic!! Definitely recommend and so glad I don't live close. I'd be here every day !

The hours of the Stateline location are a little hit or miss so seeing this one pop up on yelp made it to logical stop. We strolled in later in the afternoon and found a case with a decent selection of donuts which included a few of the mochi variety. The kids were all hyped to get them, but then they saw the cleverly decorated donuts in the case, and immediately changed their minds in favor of those sporting the sugary icing and candy toppings! It's summer so I'm saying yes to everything and one child was enjoying a bright blue shark attack doughnut while the other had a deep and Rich chocolatey s'mores donut. Both of them were in hog heaven, and didn't look up from their plates until only crumbs remained. All of that said, I'm not sure this is a remarkable donut shop so just expect the basics and expect those basics to be done well. This is the reason for three stars over four or five. It's not really an experience in the selection isn't anything truly truly unique. There's nothing really special to the shop though there is a cute little wall mural to snap some photos with. Parking is super simple in the large lot and there's a good amount of space inside if you do want to sit and enjoy your donut. Staff was super friendly and helpful too. It's clear this is a family run operation and they have a lot of regard for their customers. This is a great stop. If you wanna bring back a little treat to those at the hotel or house nearby. Who doesn't enjoy a doughnut?

Maria, Marry, and Mimi are absolutely brilliant, courteous, and highly efficient. They have endured prolonged corporate restructuring, changes to the entire floor plan, loss of some of their best (RIP Trevis) and not reflected in any reviews. Their incredibly knowledgeable team operates with stellar performance that people completely take for granted, never mind a few peevish one-star reviews which bear no relation whatsoever to the professionalism benefiting the Carson community. These outstanding individuals assist hundreds of people every week and simply don't get enough credit for how much they have done right, making the difference nobody sees-- they are like front-end phantoms you might not even notice on a busy day- which seems to be every day! They have a working knowledge of every single product being sold, and where to find it. I have even been met at the register someone handing me the very product I couldn't even pronounce correctly to find that someone had gone out of their way to make sure I found what I needed and handed it to me while I was already in checkout! This is to set the review section straight, and you can ignore all peevish, resentful reviews bearing no reflection of what this great team has done to improve this location over the years!

From the moment I ordered, the barista was blunt, unfriendly, and gave very little eye contact. I ordered an iced Americano with a splash of nonfat milk, and his only response was, "2%?" I had to ask if he meant that was the only option before he clarified. No apology or explanation, just minimal communication. He also never asked for my name. After hearing another customer's name called, I asked a different barista how I would know when my drink was ready. While she was answering me perfectly fine, he called over from about five feet away, "Well, we're going to call out your exact drink order. Your drink's not ready." I wasn't asking why my drink wasn't ready. I was asking how I would know which was mine. His response was rude and condescending, especially when his lack of communication created the confusion in the first place. My friend then ordered an iced chai and was given a hot one. He made the excuse that he had ridden a motorcycle for an hour and was having trouble hearing. That made very little sense considering he had just heard and inserted himself into my conversation from five feet away, yet apparently couldn't hear my friend standing directly in front of him. If his hearing was genuinely that impaired, taking customer orders and then using it as an excuse for getting them wrong was extremely frustrating. Our drinks were also subpar, service was slow, and the entire experience felt disorganized and poorly managed. Everyone has bad days, but if that was the issue, he probably should have stayed home or worked making drinks rather than taking orders in such a customer-facing position. Otherwise, he may be better suited stocking shelves overnight at Walmart where customer interaction isn't part of the job. We all left genuinely disappointed and with no desire to return.
