Flavors are good the ratio of doughnut to toppings are great. Tips: small space inside, so you can't eat inside same with their coffee bar. There is seating outside. To-go is how I usually eat them. This while the wife shops and I eat and drink coffee. The people and service is great too. Very friendly and informative. Enjoy!

They are able to accommodate a few different diets and there is signage indicating what has dairy and what's plant-based.

The donuts are all so beautifully made, colorful, and fun. I chose one of the seasonal flavors, Lime Pistachio. It's nutty, a little crunchy, tart, and sweet with a good balance of flavors. The donut is soft, chewy, and fluffy in the best way. I had no idea the donuts were vegan and I'm not vegan myself but they were so decadent. A very kind Japanese family owns the place. Service is very welcoming and friendly. The shop is a little hidden away by Red & blue vintage and Seabirds. Definitely treat yourself to one of their gourmet donuts next time you're out shopping here.

So I decided to order delivery of a dozen of the glazed AND a dozen of the "mixed" iced rounds. The mixed iced rounds come in 4 icing flavors and he doesn't like one of the flavors but I wasn't sure if they were able to make exceptions however, I made a special request in my online order not just to remove that flavor but to replace it evenly amongst the other 3 if available. I needed to leave this positive review because of the following: *They obliged my request in every way :) *The text communication about the delivery was fantastic *The delivery was extremely faster than expected *They were warm & fresh *They were neatly placed in the box along with a couple of the regular sized donuts that I "accidentally" ordered as well. :) It was just very professional and beyond what I would expect from a chain donut shop.

Honestly one of the best donut places I've encountered recently. Best when hot though (which is…read morealways). They turn into just above average donuts after they cool down. But after trying Oliboli I have to ask myself why doesn't everybody do this? This is ingenious. If you wondered why Krispy Kreme was so popular when the "hot donuts" sign is on - this is donuts taken to another level. FOOD: Donuts are terrific. Even cooled down they still are tasty but definitely go down a level. Had the chocolate which is very dark chocolate like instead of a milk chocolate so if you don't like a more bitter chocolate then maybe go a different direction. Also had the dutch apple pie and that was AMAZING! So many of them look good. They rotate flavors so you won't see the same ones every time. SERVICE: Really nice. Very helpful and patient and they get the donuts out pretty quickly. Everyone there had smiles on their faces and sure it costs a bit more but the portion size is huge. One donut will do ya! COST: Again more than your average donut place but you certainly get your money's worth! Would highly recommend.

Been here one or two times before and decided to finally write a review this time!…read more Parking looks hard to find initially but the parking lot actually wraps around the buildings all the way to the back so there are plenty of spots. When you enter, they have a display case that shows what each donut they offer looks like. You order and pay at the counter, give them your name, and find a seat while you wait for them to call out your name. There's always a little bit of a wait for your donuts because they fry them all fresh! The dough they use is also similar to a sourdough, so the taste and texture is so unique. They have their standard/permanent flavors as well as seasonal/rotating ones. My friends and I shared the Banoffee ($7.95), Pumpkin Pie ($8.95), Pumpkin Glazed ($5.75), and Bumbleberry Glazed ($5.50). Each donut is hefty so sharing is the way to go. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who hasn't tried them before. You won't be disappointed!

These are my people! "Carpe donut!"

I've been coming here for about four years because it's close to home, and I've brought my son here…read moremany times as well as purchased dozens of donuts for birthdays and my team members at work. Unfortunately, after my last two experiences, I will not be returning. On my previous visit, we ordered bagels with cream cheese and received barely any cream cheese. When I politely asked for more and offered to pay for it, the interaction was uncomfortable, but I decided to give the shop another chance. Today, my son specifically asked to come back for a donut and bagel. We were the only customers eating inside. Shortly after receiving our food, an employee began mopping the very small dining area with a strong Pine Sol solution. The door were open, there was no air conditioning, and the chemical smell became so overwhelming that I told him I was having difficulty breathing and asked about it. Rather than simply waiting until we finished eating, he argued that other customers like the smell and that no one else complains. Eventually he said he would stop while I was there, but by that point the entire interaction had become unnecessarily uncomfortable. Other employees were also speaking loudly from the back, and the overall atmosphere made my son and me feel extremely unwelcome. I don't expect perfection, and I'm usually very understanding about service issues. But customers should be able to sit down and finish their food without strong cleaning chemicals being mopped around their table, and a reasonable concern should be met with courtesy rather than an argument. After supporting this neighborhood business for four years, including larger purchases for my workplace, it's disappointing to say I won't be returning or recommending it. There are simply too many other places where customers are made to feel welcome. Please note: this is a VERY polite version of what happened. This was an awful experience. I will never recommend this business and definitely will not return.

DK's Donuts is a solid, old-school donut shop that does exactly what you want it to do--no gimmicks, just good donuts done right. The standout here is the blueberry donut. It's one of the better versions around--flavor actually comes through (not artificial), and you can get it glazed or unglazed depending on how sweet you want to go. Either way, it holds up. This isn't a "premium craft donut" spot--it's more traditional, straightforward, and consistent. That's the appeal. You're not paying for hype, you're getting a reliable product. Overall: good quality, classic execution, and worth stopping in if you're in the area--especially for the blueberry. read more
