Love the hot donuts! Normally not a donut person but they are just so good. Not overly sweet/don't make me sick as do other places.

I have been coming here for almost a decade and a half, in that time it's really gone downhill. The only time the donuts are good is in the morning when they are fresh. I have purchased a dozen for work the night before for next day and actually been embarrassed because some of the donuts were so old. Popovers with dried out fruit inside, disgusting! After being mortified at work not once but twice, I just go by Safeway or Albertsons in the morning to get my work friends donuts. At least they're fresh. If I am Downtown I will pick up a dozen from Voodoo the night before. Pros: Open long hours, Very Welcoming Nice Staff Cons: Donuts are not fresh, Gravy is now terrible but used to be the best. Dining room is old and needs to be updated. read more

I stop by at least one morning a week. So few donut shops make crullers and those are my favorite. Donuts and coffee (four hotpots of different coffee varieties) always fresh and delicious. I would stop in for just the coffee it is that good...but I wouldn't be able to resist getting a donut too. Moderation, moderation. Love the morning counter person with the adorable bob. What a sweetie! read more

How did I not know of this place sooner?! On my first visit I saw while standing in line that they had an assortment of fruit-stuffed donuts. Now, typically, a jelly-like donut wouldn't be my sort of thing but I couldn't resist when I saw that they had Mango. Unfortunately, the cruel woman in front of me grabbed the last one! So, I sufficed with a Marionberry stuffed donut and a Glazed Old-Fashioned. Absolutely delicious! They practically melt in your mouth! Will definitely be coming back! read more

I'm not sure why everyone is so obsessed with Voodoo when I'm pretty sure that 99% of the U of O freshman 15 are coming from this place right here. You walk in and you're greeted by a blast of three welcoming warm aromas... butter, yeast, and sugar. We're on the right track. (I'm from the south, can you tell?) It's honestly slightly a throwback to being in a warm beignet in there. *drools* Ahem... 'scuze me. Vivid imagination. Their colorful cases are the crack pipe dream of a kid on a weekend morning. They have cereal donuts, maple bacon bars, pastries, iced and frosted, baked and poufed... It's glorious and you inhale weight by being there so time is precious... chop chop! The donuts are a pretty good stab at being Texas sized, and I had to giggle when I saw they actually had some CALLED "Texas" bars. South? Texas. They're not THAT big. (Thatswhatshesaid!) They make me do the Homer drool though. Looking for a regular glaze? That's the raised ring. They're really, REALLY sweet but my stars they are good. Get them when they're warm. The chocolate on the chocolate iced is a good chocolate too... not some stiffened pudding. My mom was missing some apple from the fritter but like I told her... it's a donut not a fruit basket. Going at 2pm? Nuke 'em in the office with your late afternoon coffee and really irritate your keto diet neighbor. They're still amazing. They're still good the next morning. Not that I ate them the next morning... cause I mean... grown ups don't do that? What? read more

Some real great donuts. Dizzy Dean's Donuts feature a toothsome, sugary glaze -- that stays magically crackly even over the span of a couple days-- and ensconces fluffy cloud-light inner layers of pliant, golden fried goodness. If you've lived and worked in Eugene long enough, you've probably experienced the unmitigated joy of showing up to work bleary-eyed, detecting slight hints of cinnamon and sugar from the doorway, and finding a box of Dizzy Dean's waiting by the coffee machine- early morning gift of some saintly coworker. Make sure you grab a chewy cake donut *and* a fluffy, yeast-raised donut; both are good, and it does away with having to choose which donut to eat- invariably the worst part of any donut fest. read more

Uncertain as to why this place gets such high marks. The donuts are average at best. Had a marionberry filled donut early this morning (when you'd expect donuts to be the freshest). The jam filing was good but the donut itself did not have much taste. Also had a maple frosted old fashioned which looked the part and had the right texture, but was lacking something in the taste buds department. Granted I have high donut expectations, but it wouldn't be too difficult to substantially improve the recipes and step up their game. Wouldn't come back here again. If you want to satisfy your donut fix, go somewhere else. read more

Best Donuts in Eugene! Stopped here last night on a whim and so pleased that we did! The traditional yeast donut glazed is pretty much perfect...springy, sweet and well glazed. The apple fritter is one of the best I've had, seriously so so good! And the chocolate glazed Bavarian cream was delicious! Lots of cream! The cake donuts were meh but in their defense I've never had a good one. All donuts weren't even fresh so I can only imagine how dangerously delicious they'd be hot! read more

I was drawn in by the smell of donuts wafting into the Staples next door. The donuts are pretty good, staff is friendly, this is just your everyday neighborhood donut shop. They strangely don't sell eclairs but a bavarian creme donut is basically the same thing so you'll be alright if that's what you're looking for. $5 minimum for credit cards. read more

Open late!!! :::happy dancing::: Best. Bearclaws. Ever. They always have a great selection, even when I run in 5 minutes before closing for treats to bring home. Mango jelly donut! Yum! Apple fritters are gigantic, donuts always taste fresh and not too oily. Righteous. read more

Can't go wrong with their coffee and any of their donuts. There's something about the smell of a donut shop. You can tell by the smell when everything is fresh. The staff are wonderful. read more

Best donuts in town! So good that it's affecting my choice to join the gym nextdoor. I know I shouldn't join, because I'd get a donut on my way in, and a whole box on my way out! It's pointless!! read more

Forget those touristy specialty donut shops that had popped up in the last few months. They're neat and all, but when you really want a good, classic donut in Eugene, this is the place for sure. The people are always friendly there, and the donuts are great. Price is very fair and they do bakers' dozen, so you get an extra with every dozen or half dozen order. When I think of going to the donut store with my parents years and years ago, this is the kind of place I think of. Also, I just noticed on the box that they now deliver to anywhere in Eugene. That's cool. read more

Bad service from the girl with ombré hair and I got a lot of attitude as did the other customers in line. I was upset to see that because this has been a great place with always the best service since I was in high school and my friends and I used to come here. I'm so bummed ): read more

They have a sign that lures you in on a cold, rainy Eugene morning. It flashes HOT! At first I thought, how did they know I would be driving by? Oh..you mean the donuts are hot..gotcha! Best kruellers in town! read more

French Crullers !!! My wife and I have been searching for french crullers ever since we moved here. There just isn't anything like a french cruller. If you havn't ever had one, I highly reccomend them. The best thing about Dizzy Dean's is that not only are they the ONLY donut shop that seems to have them, they also make the best crullers I have ever had! Price - 5 Stars Service - 5 Stars Freshness - 5 Stars Taste - 5 Stars Its nice to see local folks making Donuts, seems you don't see that too often. The man and woman that work there were so friendly and nice. You can tell they take pride in their work and they are happy to see you. Check em out they are in the Staples parking lot on W 11th. read more

A groupon (or some other company's coupon thing) first brought me to Dizzy Dean's. For a $20 minimum purchase! As you can probably guess, I walked out with multiple boxes of donuts and had plenty of opportunity to sample their range of flavors. We even had a couple weeks worth of cake donuts to freeze. Dizzy Dean's probably has the best donuts in town. They're fresh, they offer a huge variety of choices, the cake donuts freeze well, and the service was friendly. But while they're the best, I would probably just give them three stars compared to Krispy Kreme or Indiana's Square Doughnuts. Since Eugene has neither, and we must make do with what we have, I'm giving Dizzy Dean's four stars. read more

Love these guys! Always delivers the best donuts and at such a reasonable price. They are our go to shop. The Oreo is our fav it's BOMB!!! Any time of day you can go in and see a huge assortment of flavors. You gotta check them out! read more

Dizzy Dean's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Traditional fresh donuts and coffee in Eugene, OR at 4:30 AM? Yes! If it is Dizzy Dean's! Not sure if we were greeted by the Great Dizzy Dean himself, but the white-haired gentleman working there was certainly courteous, efficient and busy making more freshly baked donuts. My bro had a maple bar with bacon on it, while I opted for the more traditional apple fritter. Got us rolling for an extra 6 more hours of serious driving. Thank you, Dizzy Dean, wherever you are! read more

I needed 2 dozen muffins to take to a meeting in Portland. I called in pretty late the night before. When I got there at 6:30am, the muffins were ready and waiting. And not day old, like some places try to pull. These were fresh out of the oven. They were a big hit and I was a hero for bringing in such a delightful treat. Dizzy Deans has such good prices and their customer service is beyond compare. I just cant say enough good things about this place! read more

Good doughnuts. Good coffee. Good customer service despite the rush hour busy times.

Donuts were good. The counter service was understaffed and confusing. The tables and booths were not clean. Dried on gunk and it was also on the walls. There was a carpeted play area that I wouldn't let a wild dog walk into. It was filthy. Glad we were just passing through and would never stop again. read more

HOT DONUTS NOW.. That's all you need to know. Get off your ass and in your gas guzler or better yet, get on that Bike path thing cause you will need the exercise. The plain glazed HOT donut is the best. Beating out that stupid marketing trick downtown. They even have that Famed after Bacon Maple bar for HALF the cost.. OMG. Lazy people, go here, keep this place in biz.. read more

Yeah for Triple D - the apple fritter was quite possibly the best I have ever enjoyed. And the coffee, though out of a carafe, was actually really good. read more

Good fresh donuts daily, friendly service and reasonable prices. You can ask for more. They have traditional old fashions and I always some creative new ones that remind me of VooDoo - mostly they say with the traditional though and do it well. read more

We were looking for a place to celebrate National Donut Day and Dizzy Dean's was the spot! It was our first time there and...wow...delish!! When we walked in, there was a line and only a few donuts left in the case. One staff member was hustling to make sure we all were waited on in a timely manner, while the other staff member was baking hot donuts and bringing them out to sell. It was quite a production and they pulled it off with ease, kindness, and humor. Great staff! We had a glazed, chocolate cake with chocolate icing, and a maple bar. All were delightful! Great texture and flavor! We will be back! read more

Fresh doughnuts at 3pm!!! Definitely recommend to customers who like their traditional yummy doughnuts! Friendly customer service inside!! read more

Picture this: Rainy day in Eugene Oregon, you just woke up and hop into your car. The trickling rain down your cheek makes you question your mental stability. Are you crying? No. You get out of bed and hop into your Mercedes. While making your errands run you see a bright planet fitness sign. Looking down at your plump wrists gripping the steering wheel you question ", is today the day." No, you snap back to reality just like M&M and say I deserve a break! Peering just past the ab noxious purple and yellow sign you see a quaint donut shop. Just what you need. You park the car. Walk in. Greeted by a smile so big you can see it through their face mask. You sniff, the smell of home welcomes you. You take two donuts. One glazed, on chocolate. Because you care about the fundamentals of donut making. Leaving the store feeling optimistic, you walk outside. Look up and your car is no luxury sedan. But a Saturn. Think to yourself what have I become? Going back to old habits as a kid. When you used to feel sad you would strip down. Symbolism? Possibly. Only wearing your hands XL boxers you got at goodwill as the rain no longer trickles down just your cheek. But your whole body. Sitting in a puddle in the middle of the parking lot you question what your life has become. All you are still holding onto is the dream of a more fulfilling life, and your bag of donuts. So you slide your wet hand into the paper bag. As your hand grazes the glazed donut you question is this made of silk? You pull it out of the bag and the donut radiates somehow not getting wet. Then, you take the first bite. Like sinking your teeth into the taint of Jesus, you find a deeper meaning to life. Through a kind of whole you wouldn't expect. You now sit on the edge of your chair reflecting. Appreciating that moment. So yeah the donuts are pretty good. read more

The service was great. They greeted us when we walked in. They were helpful in making recommendations of what to try. I always ask why they are know for. We tried a couple of donuts and had a cup of coffee. The donuts were good and made us crave more. They serve Boyd's coffee from Portland. They Had a big selection. I tried the raised glazed and it was very good. It had a little more chew and body them most. This was good and different. Plenty of room to sit down and a play area for kids. read more

Dizzy dean donuts has been my convenient go to place for donuts. It's closer to my house and near work. The donuts here are good, but sometimes they are a bit more oily than other places. Choices are really good. The bear claw and apple fritters are a few of my favorites. They also have some good deals at certain time of the week and time of day. Make sure to look for the hot donut sign... good time to go in an get a fresh one. read more

Loving this place. I mean if you don't want a full size donut and you want something for a drive. They also have the various donut holes that you can get. read more

Dizzy Dean's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Wow!!! The best donuts ever Yes even better than Winchels (that's going way back), Krispy Kreme, and Voodoo sounds crazy and it's true. The service is always great and especially when Alexandrea is working!!! Thank you for having such consistent and delicious treats. read more

We go here often. Good donuts, but service is always touch and go and the cleanliness is always questionable. Today the lady in front of us ordered and walked out with her donuts. She then came back in minutes later saying it was the wrong one and hadn't been touched. The counter person took it out of bag and placed back into the donut display to sell again! When we questioned why she would do that since it had walked out the building she got upset and told us because the lady told her it was not touched. She got angry stormed off to the back to throw away because we were disgusted. To us and anybody in their right mind it takes seconds to tamper with something. Either take the donut and throw it away OR give her the correct donut and allow her to keep the donut that was a mistake. read more

Dizzy Dean's is where it's at for your donut cravings. They always, always taste super fresh.

This place isn't sanitary. Mold in the freezer door seals. Never use sanitizer on dishes
