One of our faves!!! Love taking my kids here on the weekends. Great donuts and coffee!! Love that they always have different feature donuts.

This isn't just a scrumptious donut spot. This is an experience the Owner is so friendly and happy. I never realized I needed someone to support my choice of donut and lift me up while ordering until this sweet, sweet shop. They drop the donut when you walk in and top it at the time of ordering. I have a toddler and I may enjoy this more than him. This donut Paradise is a must for donut lovers and friendly people lovers. If you leave grumpy then you need to rethink your life choices. We have tried 8 different toppings but thus far the Apple Pie and just straight Maple glazed have been spectacular!!! read more

Currently eating this Peanut Butter Cup donut for the first time and this is the greatest thing ive ever eaten ever. Also, their french roast coffee is superb. Very welcoming and nice staff. Love it read more

Best donut/boba you'll ever have! My husband and I went in for boba after dinner tonight, and we are very satisfied! The owners were extremely friendly, offered us two free donuts of our choice just try to them out and I was amazed because they are made FRESH. They are warm, have a ton of options on toppings, and melt in your mouth! I'm telling all my friends and family about this place because I'm obsessed! read more

Decide to stop here on the way to Sedona, and it was the cutest donut shop! It's basically like a Subway for donuts. You can choose whichever toppings you'd like and the donuts are fresh and warm. The owner was also very friendly. read more

Our family's favorite donut place. Love their amazing donuts to order. Been going here since they opened. Great service.

I absolutely love the donuts here! I had the seasonal Gingersnap donut and it was fantastic. The cookie on top was crisp and homemade and the donut was perfectly fried. Also, the owner is really nice! Thanks Desert Donuts, I will be back :) read more

Awesome Doughnut Shop! Totally different experience. Not only a creative doughnut menu it a create your own option as well. So much to choose from and freshly made to order. So good and highly recommend! read more

Great selection of made to order donuts, not a quick alternative, so if you're in a hurry, don't expect to get in and out quickly...go to another source. BUT, if your looking for a great, fresh, HOT, made to order do-nut experience, this IS YOUR PLACE!!! Their staff is awesome, and truly believe in their product, cranking them out as quickly as a made to order do-nut can be cranked out...after all, it is a creation, not billion a day process like Dunkin, or the other similar pastry places! We loved the experience!! Give them a try, you'll be glad you did!!! read more

Visiting the area and decided to swing by this Donut place close to 5pm today 11/18/19 to get me a donut and a drink. It is very comfortable inside, and the gentleman working at the counter was beyond amazing, friendly, and welcoming. This place is definitely recommended for delicious donuts and five stars customer service. read more

LOVE mom and pop shops that do well. REALLY well. Owner leaves high tech for a life of fried dough with many different toppings. Batch made to order. YES to order. First stop on our way to the Grand Canyon. BACON topped doughnuts. I went for one with apple pie filling, caramel and bacon bits... real bacon bits. SINFUL! I watched while they made a box of jewel glistening doughnuts for a little girls birthday party. Beautifully lined, and each perfectly crafted. And the coffee? $2 for a tall wonderful cup o' joe. Seriously. read more

Great place for a warm donut. Staff is friendly and is a family business. Supporting places like this adds character to the area!

I came in yesterday for 2 donuts and a Thai tea with boba. It was the most watered down drink. It was like drinking orange water. Super disappointed bc my sister highly recommended this place. I won't be back. read more

I stopped in today for donuts and was pleasantly surprised by this unique donut shop. I was expecting to pick out some donuts from a selection under a glass case, instead I was able to choose from a menu and the donuts were made fresh to order. The owner was extremely helpful and very nice, as was the other staff member. The place was clean and organized. I would highly recommend this place for a unique place to try a wonderful fresh donut! read more

Desert Donuts - Best doughnut in the south west!! - Donuts Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm not a doughnut enthusiast, you know I eat one here and there. We were driving up in this area and saw a giant doughnut dancing on the sidewalk with a sign that said Desert Donut, so we thought why not?!... oh my word!!!.... can I say it is made to order, is still warm when you eat it, and oozes with decadent goodness. It was so good I licked the paper it sat on, and I told my husband it was "more than a donut". I will never be able to eat another stale dunkin donut again. read more

There is no better donut. LOL The gentleman, who is probably the owner, must have thanked us three times for our patronage. Genuine, nice people , great service, phenomenal product. Yes, you will be paying more for a donut here, but you get what you pay for:they are made to order F R E S H and the toppings are so creative. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Great place for visitors or anyone new to AZ!! read more

Tried Desert Donuts after meeting the owners and thinking they were pretty awesome people. OMG. I'm hooked. First, I love the concept. Gas station donuts ruined my desire for donuts probably about 20 years ago. These are different. They're hot, and they make them right in front of you so you can choose exactly what you want. I chose lemon icing with almonds (because fruit and nuts are healthy, right?). My sons got chocolate icing with bacon sprinkles (good bacon, too - not the yuck fatty stuff), and caramel with chocolate chips. Holy diet busters! They were incredible. Service was friendly and efficient, and the place was sparkling clean, which is great considering it was a busy Saturday morning. If I would have been in the mood for coffee, they had locally brewed Kona coffee, which is awesome. I love supporting local businesses any time I can, and this is one I would definitely endorse. My only problem is the added calories in my diet, but everyone needs an occasional splurge. This is the place to go. read more

Seriously the most awesome donuts around! Totally custom & freshly made. read more

Just found my new favorite donut shop. Not at all what I was expecting when I drove by, line at McDonald's was long so i figured I'd try desert donuts for breakfast. There ultimate breakfast bowl is amazing. read more

So refreshing to have a homemade, warm, cake donut. And the cake is so soft and fluffy. Not too sweet - just right for the toppings. The Lemon was scrumptious. My husband wanted a traditional Bavarian cream donut but was not disappointed with Desert Donut's version. This is a trek for us to come here but we will definitely be back. read more

Hand down the best donuts I've ever had. They have all kinds of unique flavors or you can make your craziest ideas come to life. All donuts are made to order, not just sitting on a rack for hours. I'd highly recommend this place, and the cowboy is a must! read more

We stumbled on the place while going to get coffee at McDonalds. I alway like local places better than chains. What a great surprise. First of all, it was spotless. These folks know how to keep a clean place. We were greeted as if we were old friends. Then we found out what this donut shop was all about. They make your donut to order. Wow. Since we are "old school" when it comes to donuts we kept it very plain. Just cinnamon and sugar. They were the best coffee shop donuts ever. Really. Hot, fresh, and practically melted in your mouth. I could have eaten more, but my wife only let me have two. The staff was friendly and gave us some tips on where to go in the area. Great coffee and great donuts. Please bring your store to Mass. We need some better donuts. We inflicted Dunkin Donuts on the world. Our punishment is not having these guys near by. read more

One word! YUM! These donuts are so delicious and there are so many different donut options! Definitely recommend going here!

I am not a donut person, last donut I had must be over 10 years ago. With that said love this place, the concept is awesome. They make your donuts as you order, pick your icing and toppings and receive them nice and warm. Yummy!!! Outstanding service and a fun experience will definitely be back! read more

Went and tried Desert Donuts this morning and my first impression was "where are all the donuts? Surprise! They are made fresh to order! YUM! I ordered 2 dozen (for a work function, not all for me) and they where made fast and fresh! Everyone at my work was fighting over the custom flavors and toppings. Did I mention they have BACON donuts? Service was super friendly :) I will definately be back! read more

We were travelling back from Sedona and looking for donuts to feed the kids for breakfast and stumbled upon this place. I have never seen this concept where basically they cook the donuts fresh right in front of you and they top them right there with whatever you want. Kind of like the Subway of donuts but without the sub-standard meat involved. The donuts were delicious and as fresh as you could possibly want. My 5yr old daughter got Pink with Sprinkles and Chocolate Chips. My oldest son got Chocolate with Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chips. I got the Chocolate and Coconut with Chocolate Chips (kind of like an almond joy). Think my 11yr old got lemon something. Can't remember what the rest of the family got. There are more out of the ordinary flavors for the adventurous like Maple and Bacon (which I will try next time). The other thing I like about this place is that it is not a chain but is a local family owned business. read more

Fam and I were eating a few doors down and heard about this place and decided to check it out after lunch. They were literally closing in 6 minutes and I hate and never want to be that person that comes in right before closing but I don't come this north that often and we really wanted to eat donuts...cause donuts. They were soooo nice about it and accommodating. We hurried up and ordered! I got the Carmel delight and my uncle got the apple pie. They have a base donut and you can customize your donut with various toppings or choose one of their original creations. Each donut fried as you order and then they put the toppings on as you watch. It was so warm and soft and just the right amount of sweetness...not too overwhelming. Yummy. There is another donut shop down the freeway with a similar concept....(don't wanna name names...) but I would say desert donuts is better!! read more

Unplanned purchase as I was waiting for a takeout order next door. For those reviewers saying these are the "best donuts they've ever had", you really need to get out more! Taste and texture are .... unique. They aren't really a cake donut and definitely not a yeast raised one. They're somewhere in between the two and somewhat heavy. ALL flavors are the "ring" style - even ones that would typically be a "filled" donut (creme, fruit, etc are all just plopped into the hole in the ring). Because they're "made to order" (i.e.they toss them in the fryer for maybe 30 seconds to warm them up) and hot when topped, the frosting basically melts off if you aren't eating them immediately and you taste basically nothing. We had both chocolate and maple toppings. The chocolate taste was nearly nonexistent and the maple was barely discernible. On the plus side, there was a good amount of bacon on the one. For the ultra premium price (just under $7 for 2 donuts), I was expecting a larger than average donut. Not so. They're actually some of, if not the, smallest donuts I've ever had. Definitely NOT worth the price and I doubt we'll ever go back or recommend it. Concept of "made to order" is unique and kind of cool, but the actual product that you pay the premium price for is really not worth it. read more
