The people there a nice and although there is always a line, they move quickly. The parking lot is nice size and easy to get in and out. I wish I could pack some up for my plane ride lol. read more

Donna's Donuts - Nutty - Bakeries Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Today I was charged $3 to pick my own when I bought a dozen. $29 for a dozen donuts in Flint. Get outta here. read more

I lived in Flint for about a year and there were a few staples I miss all the freaking time. I dream of the chocolate moon rock as it is like an amazing fritter texture, but had cherries throughout. The coconut creme donut was absolutely the best donut I've ever had, which is saying a LOT! The people working are always friendly and the line moves efficiently. Very simple donut shop vibe and no where to sit but you can just go in your car and eat it like an animal because they're THAT good. A must have! Unfortunately I will likely not be back to flint but if I do, Donnas is my first spot. read more

"Donna's Donuts: A Flint Legend Worth Flying For" Some people land in Michigan and head straight for their family's house. I head straight to Donna's Donuts. This place isn't just a donut shop--it's a Flint institution. A beacon of sugary perfection that has stood the test of time, slinging out the freshest, most delicious donuts for generations. My dad used to love it here, and now, like a true donut disciple, I continue the tradition. And let's talk about the real star of the show--the chocolate-covered cream stick. If you've never had one, let me paint you a picture: a cloud-like, perfectly soft donut, generously filled with the most luxurious cream, and slathered in a rich, chocolate that dreams are made of. One bite, and suddenly, everything in the world makes sense. World peace might actually be possible if we just handed these out internationally. As I stood there, enjoying my donut and inhaling the intoxicating aroma of fresh, warm pastries straight from the fryer, I briefly considered a dangerous idea--having them shipped to Florida. But let's be honest, nothing beats walking into Donna's in person, seeing the trays of donuts stacked like edible masterpieces, and knowing that you're about to experience something special. This trip? Worth it. The first stop after getting off the plane? Absolutely. Donna's isn't just a place to grab a donut--it's a bite of nostalgia, a taste of tradition, and a reminder that some things really do get better with time. Would I come back? Let's just say I'm already planning my next trip. read more

This place is beyond amazing Always exceeds expectations, always. Deliciously fresh, so much better than the national chains. read more

Absolutely crazy that you have to pay an extra $2.60 to pick out your own donuts which is already high for a dozen at $25.00. VG's in Clio has the same selections and are very good. So I am done with Donna's read more

Went in and there was one guy servicing a lady in front of us. When it got to our turn he turned his back and then the phone rang and answered and took an order (long one) then when he asked for the person's credit card number we left. Rude. Secondly the place was dirty. There were two women in the back that saw us and ignored us. That was my first and last time to go there. Rude rude rude! Terrible customer service! read more

Best donuts anywhere. The top three advertised are now dry and untasty. A couple don't even make them in house anymore, they are sent to them. Used to like place in Dearborn (won't mention name) but there dry, not much filling etc. Donna's in Flint are fabulous!!! Lots of filling from front to back, generous amounts of frosting. Yuuuum!!! read more

Made a special stop on the way back from up north. Had not been there since covid. I was vey disappointed. They have obviously changed the recipes, down graded the quality. Donuts too doughy and dry.. I always loved the apple fritters, crispy and well..just right amount of grease. Texture was dry and tasteless.. The staff was rude. Certainly not worth driving out of the way for. read more

Always has the best quality and flavor. And a great number of choices. There are none better. We've been going there for decades thanks!

the donuts were cold, tasted like they'd been left out all night, WAY too much sugar, too much yeast, the workers were kinda rude and not super clean or professional. parking was .. something, donut availability was terrible, the donuts were generally overfilled, and call me childish or picky but the icing on the donuts is flavored. i got a mint donut and it tasted like toothpaste. literal Walmart donuts are better lol. read more

The food is excellent and the service and the ambiance, I have to try their coffee , my dad loves it

AMAZING - a one word review. This place is one of the best donut spots I have tried. Everything is mouth watering and the staff is beyond friendly. If you don't know Donnas, you don't know donuts. Period! read more

Donna's Donuts - a box of assorted donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Best fresh donuts in the area. Owners/staff are nice. You can see how much they care just by talking to them.

I'm hoping I can give more stars later, but with consistent wait times of 30+ minutes regardless of the day of the week, I cannot. You can call ahead but you have to be clairvoyant as the flavors rotate and the website is inadequate. Donuts are still amazing, but with only 1 person working the counter at all operating times, they need to do better. read more

Lastnight 6/3/24 the woman working the donut counter was definitely wiping her nose with the palm of her hand, & never left the front to go wash them. This is the 2nd time this woman has been unsanitary and it make me wanna walk out on my donut orders. Lastnight she acted like she had a attitude that it was notice how nasty she was being in front of people! 5 stars on the donuts if it make it to the bag without nose crust! read more

Although I have been stopping here for years,today was a disappointment. The ambience is gone, we used to come here have coffee and donuts sit around and talk. It was a warm and pleasant place then. Now they are all computerized with younger people with limited social skills and the rates are up and they ask for a tip?!!. I miss the old donut shop. When did a donut become almost $2.00. Too bad there are only a few places where people can gather for coffee and donuts. By the way Donna's no longer sells milk and no decaf. Just buy the donuts and get out. I will be exploring other donut venues for now on. Lost customer read more

I have been coming for decades and the moonrock in particular have gone down in quality they used to have this nice crunch on each piece as you pulled it apart - the last three times i have been there they have been stale - like they are day-old donuts. I can get these types of donuts at my local grocery store - i would hope you would get a new quality director and stick to the old methods that made these donuts great. read more

Seriously the best donuts I have ever had. You'll have a hard time picking from their expansive selection of flavors. Incredibly kind and attentive service. The place is always packed but I've never waited longer than 10 minutes and there's always somewhere to park. read more

LeRoy: I had the lemon glaze stick donut. WOW. WOW. WOW. Katie: The cherry chip donut was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Caitlin: The glazed bow tie donut was fluffy and superb! We all thought this place was DONUTLICIOUS! read more

HEY. Hey you. Get that chocolate moon rock. It is an amazing fritter with cherries. I go back specifically for that and the coconut creme filled donut. If the donuts are fresh, they are my absolute favorite. Most of the staff there is pretty nice besides a couple people that were probably not having a great day. These are my fave donuts and THATS SAYING SOMETHING read more

Best. Donuts. Ever! Always fresh and the fillings are generous. Love their custard and German chocolate in particular.

Stopped by on a whim after seeing the line out the door and figured they must be doing something right. They are. Easily in my top 3 for donuts in Michigan. I tried a Maple Cinnamon roll, a Moonrock aka Apple Fritter, and a Chocolate Stick -long John with chocolate frosting and fluff in the middle. They were all excellent. Soft and chewy and so fresh! Best donuts in Flint! read more

Donna's Donuts - Maple cinnamon roll - Bakeries Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Went twice at the suggestion of Deb Adams and Richard Fox, big mistake. Found a hair in my red velvet donut, then on my second visit, I waited in line for 10 15 minutes, then when she was done with the customer before me, she didn't even acknowledge I was there then turned and took a huge order over the phone, not caring one bit about the line building. Not asking for help. Terrible food and terrible service. read more

Great location. Filthy building. Too many customers. Not enough service oriented employees. Rude staff. No sense of serving customers. They act as if your presence is an inconvenience to them. If Fat-Donna wants to be rude, she can eat it herself. read more

Really good donuts. Just wish they make them less chocolate when it's chocolate deep. They are still the best donuts I had.

Heftiest donuts I've ever had. AND they're NOT dry. This is my new secret spot. Fast, friendly service.

I was in town visiting family, and my uncle was raving about this place. He stated the best doughnuts in town. And to reiterate his point, you have to stand in line to get them because they are in high demand. I Have to say the doughnuts were fantastic. I can't wait until I am back in town to get them. They were delicious. read more

I don't know why they changed the process, or recipe of their donuts, not even close, as to how good they used too be. I hope they go back to the old process, I wont be back, been a customer since the 90's. read more

The only thing preventing me from rating 1 star is how excellent Donna's used to be. I have fond memories of my family driving to Cedar Point early in the morning, fueled only by a baker's dozen and some coffee. I don't think I have ever had bad Donna's throughout my childhood. Even if I might have, at least the price was still good. But it seems anymore that the quality is less than ideal, usually dry or sort of old tasting. And if they were still reasonably priced, I could look past that. I remember when the baker's dozen cost less than $13, but now it is over $20. You would think if the price is going up, there would be a proportionate increase in quality, or that the quality would remain good. Why are cost and quality moving in two different directions? The interior is more modern-looking and it looks like you have more merch, but the donuts are expensive and awful. read more

When I say these are the BEST Donuts in the area I mean it. We will drive to flint for some Donna's!! Service is wonderful and place is very clean. We have NO complaints about this establishment!! read more

Things have changed in the last few months. The quality of the baked goods has diminished. The moon rocks have a different taste and are not as thick and heavy as before. The cream sticks seem to be made from some type of prebaked cake and are very light in texture. Will not be going back to spend $24 for a baker's dozen. read more

They have the most amazing donuts in town. They have several different donuts too. If you've never had Donna's Donuts it's a must try.

Donuts seem different then they use to be a few years ago but still good. But the line system they have in place needs to be different get a number machine and bring some tables and chairs back to sit and wait at till your number is called. Also when ppl bring kids with them and the kid is a hellion, tell the parent to control them. I had just had surgery on my stomach and a women with a very spoiled little boy literally ran in to my stomach twice and the mom could care less! read more

Yum! Fresh and delicious donuts! Excellent options from standard favorites to more creative choices. My husband is obsessed with the chocolate iced custard donuts. read more

Not fresh like rubber from Sandle of goat lover cost of Camel to much could trade my daughter for better terrible you mother lover

Donuts weren't too bad. I've had plenty of different donuts. But I appreciate the time and quality of their donuts. I have nothing bad to say read more

As a Flint native the nutty donut has always been a family favorite. However, we just purchased some the day before Thanksgiving and were disappointed. The recipe has changed. The size was different as well as the coloring and amount of nuts. We won't be going back. read more
