Best donuts I've had in a long time! Killer old school spot. Look forward to trying the pizza next time we're in town. Friendly service and a chill place to sit for a minute. read more

This place was popping at 9pm with dance music, me and friends finally arrived to our hotel after a 4 hour drive and this was one of the only places open and we were so glad it was. Place was packed with people and rightfully so as everything was delicious and well priced! Both the pizza and donuts read more

A gem of a spot. Pizza was AMAZING, customizable, serves individual slices & whole pizzas. Donuts were very good fresh and warm. Next day donuts weren't as amazing but still good. A must go ! read more

A club vibe with a rocking, though non traditional, banh mi. There is electronic and house music playing, a laser light show in the ceiling, and the locals are friendly. The donuts are fresh and wonderful. The banh mi is really superb. They call it an Asian sandwich. The pizza is good, the sauce is super mild. I'd recommend this after a night of drinking. Otherwise it could be more herbed. But it's a solid choice for the price. And this place is open til 2am. We went at midnight and all the food was fresh. read more

I love dons but selling hard as rubber old cake donuts, come one, its flour it cost nothing to make. You never used to sell old donuts what happened to this place post covid its like you guys dont care anymore. I threw away all the cake donuts I purchased, usually theyre fresh this time obvious day plus old, I would say over a day as ive eaten your donuts the day after and they arent that bad. Get it together. read more

I thought I was biting raspberry seeds several times while eating a raspberry donut. Then I found a piece of small gauge metal in my mouth. Not sure how many of these ended up in gut. Hopefully, none. Thanks Don read more

"Hey, man. Arcata, man. It's like... Arcata, man." Ne'er have truer words been spoketh to me, from a sweet spirit in the central square of Arcata, just a half-block away from Don's Donuts. Arcata is one of those quintessential NorCal coast towns with an eclectic mix of charm, history, and quirkiness. The counterculture influence here is noteworthy, and sadly, there are quite a few folks just hanging out in the streets and public spaces with an aura of years of bad decisions and/or luck. They're as much a part of the landscape here as the colorful shops and small modest homes that line the streets of the town. Just off the main square is Don's Donuts and Pizza, a 24-hour deli/bakery with that special Arcata panache. On our last visit, there was a grungy looking fellow sitting on the ground outside the door, blasting clouds of blue sativa smoke into the narrow street. Didn't ask for a thing, and just met my smile and nod with a similar smile and nod. Not all who wander are lost. Man. As for Don's, it was the usual awesome donuts and awesome service. We ordered up a tall dozen-plus of our favorites, slipped the man a twenty, and headed for the door. No indoor seating with COVID rules, but no matter-- the park was brisk, cold, and lively with locals. When one started chasing a car yelling something about giant seagulls and threatening to kick everyone's... donkeys... in the next minute, we wrapped things up and headed back to the truck. Arcata, man. We don't miss the opportunity to hit Don's when we're traversing the north coast. We'll see you next time, friends. read more

Best donuts ever. The blueberry jam filling was delicious and fresh. Super sketchy customer service. We went around 11:30AM on Saturday and the guy working the counter couldn't remember our super basic donut order because in his own words he was "super hungover". But he got the order right and that is mostly all we cared about. read more

Pretty ok donuts nothing crazy. Please do not get the eggrolls they are not the greatest. Overall not a bad experience.

The dude with the curly hair and goatee is so funny. Great place. Super friendly and great food

I come here often when I'm craving donuts or want a cheap but yummy slice of pizza. The guy always working the front is really friendly and there's usually some kind of hip hop music playing. The donuts are usually good, they can be a little stale and dry towards later in the day but they have a decent selection to choose from. I like getting the donut holes to split with my kid (he usually doesn't like donuts). Their pizza slices get warmed up before being served to customers so they have the melted cheese and crispy crusts. read more

Don's is a reliable, round-the-clock Arcata staple. The donuts and pizza are consistently delicious and the menu offers an incredible amount of variety. This is a true hole-in-the-wall establishment as you'll come across all walks of life while here - and it's part of what makes Don's such a fascinating place to visit. The seating area is very limited, especially as the twilight and late night/early morning hours approach. Don's isn't nearly as busy during the day as it is at night. I've always been impressed with how quickly the staff is able to get orders out even when it's incredibly packed. The food service here is a well-oiled machine. While it's possible that you'll have a drunken encounter with a patron or transient or be asked for money, if you're used to this area, that sort of thing is not atypical. You can always order your food to-go. Other than that, Don's is out here 24/7 doing this community a solid after almost every other Arcata eatery shutters its doors for the night. read more

Neutral review. Just came in for a simple croissant ($2). The guy asked if I wanted it warmed up so I said yes, it came out a little burnt and he kinda had forgotten it for a little while before I had to ask him if it was ready. The croissant was good. read more

Went after the movies on a Friday night. Busy but well managed. I love donuts and have had them in lots of different places but these were so disappointing. Dough and fillings were just gross. On the other hand it was a busy place with lots of activity-the pizzas looked pretty good-just wish they'd up the quality of the donuts. read more

The apple fritter was huge, crisp, good amount of apples mixed in. I didn't try the other donuts, but grabbed some for work and they went pretty quickly so that's a good sign. They are open late which is really nice, I grabbed them around 10PM read more

Great place! The help is great!!! The donuts are BOMB! Much better prices than any in Eureka & way better donuts...

These are some of the best doughnuts in the country!!! Go get a custard filled chocolate long John and try and tell me different!! Long Live Don's Doughnuts! read more

We got fried rice, donuts, and boba smoothies for National Donut Day! It was amazing! The apple fritters are as big as your head. The cream-filled donuts are kept cold in the back, and the cream is light, sweet, and luscious. Highly recommend. This is a take and go place with no seating. read more

Love this place, it always open late too. I definitely recommend the donuts or pizza bagel. read more

The customer service is bad. The old lady is very rude and has no sense of kindness. Very rude service. The food is okay, if they can get your order correct. Just a place with an off putting ambiance. read more

I came into this establishment to grab a slice of pizza. When I entered they were listening to incredibly inappropriate music that referenced oral sex. All of the people working there were dancing and incredibly unprofessional. The person that was supposed to be heating up my pizza completely had his mask off. I felt incredibly unsafe and I left immediately without even getting my money refunded to me. This place is not Covid compliant and is putting our community at risk. There was only one person correctly wearing a mask that was working here. Absolutely ridiculous! read more

Made a stop at Don's just for the donuts and it was absolutely delicious!! Staff was friendly, the only bad thing was deciding on which donuts to get! Pizza by the slice was tempting, it looked delicious too! read more

This place is not good. Donuts still taste like sourdough, and most likely not by choice. Also the horrible loud music is not a good place for young people or folks who have hearing issues. The people who work there are very nice and pleasant. High ratings must be due to late night clientele. Although the reality is a donut is just fried sugar, but that fried sugar can be fried well. read more

Stopped briefly while driving through town. Had one of their bagel sandwiches and a few donuts. Loved how soft the bread was and the fresh ingredients. The donuts were also so soft and flavorful. Would definitely come back for more. Fast, easy, delicious food. read more

We stoped here on the way to redwood national park... great place- cheap eating. The pizza by the slice was decent, the wings is not your typical wings-- these wings isn't cover in any sauce but it it's coated in a light batter (similar to a beer batter) different but delicious. They also offered sandwiches ver similar to Bánh Mi that you can customize what you want in your sandwich. I also tried their donut and the apple fritters was very good. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! You absolutely have to try the Don's Delight Bagel...trust me! One of the best things I've ever eaten. Or if it's pizza you're craving...try their Chicken Masterpiece! Yummmm! Amazing food, great prices and very friendly staff...Don's is the best! read more

Great hole in the wall donut shop in downtown just off the Plaza - an eclectic crowd that changes with the day, and an old school donut shop that also does huge pizza by the slice. Lots of killer donuts to choose from and they are made fresh twice daily. The aroma of fresh made donuts at the 5:30s is the best. Their plain old fashion buttermilk donuts are great! 00009 read more

Some heat. The classic glazed is the way to go for sure. The coconut one is fire too.

Customer service is horrible. Guy behind the counter was extremely rude. Great food but the attitude from employees makes me not want to spend my money here. read more

YES and here's why: - They're open 24/7 - Their greek pizza slice is oh-so-delicious - As is their apple cinnamon roll pastry - AND their Chicken BBQ Banh-Mi sandwich! - What else are you gonna do at 3am, study? Take a break! read more

Literally the most ridiculous experience I have. Ever had! People running into customers and flipping us up behind the counter??? Standing and dancing on the counters ??!? What in the world ? Health code violations ? There was 20 people behind the counter. I used to love dons but that has left such a bad taste . This deserves negative stars. read more
