This isn't fair as I stopped by just after noon, but I've never seen such a reduced selection. Service is quick and friendly as usual and donuts are super fresh. Mostly set up for to go as there are no longer chairs inside to sit and enjoy your donuts. I'll make sure to come by earlier next time. read more

Donut Fair - What I had to choose from. - Donuts Near Me - Sacramento, California

I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years. Often getting a box on the weekends or bringing several boxes to work. I always want to support small businesses. We asked the owners if they would donate two dozen doughnuts for our son's Eagle project and they flat out refused. He has a very nice flyer explaining his project at our local park is which a stone throw away from their shop. Very disappointed and won't go back. I will also be sharing our experience with our community. read more

They have powdered donuts! I came from Natomas to get their powdered donuts. My coworker brought in a dozen donuts once and he told me he got them from Donut Fair. I called in to make sure they had them and unfortunately they only had 3 by the time I got there. I blame my idiot husband for calling to see if they had them and then hanging up rudely before placing an order for me. The two ladies working behind the counter were so sweet! They actually take the cake donuts and powder them for you when you get there. I also ordered two other cake donuts and some chocolate glazed as well. The donuts were amazing, nothing like the premade grocery kind. I highly recommend if you love powdered or even cake donuts like I do. I came here around 11:30 so alot of the items were sold out but they had a great selection and tons of drinks. It's a small shop on the corner and parking can be sparse when the swimming school and the gym next door are full. I will for sure come back and next time, I'll call ahead. read more

Donut Fair - 3 powdered donuts, 2 glazed old fashioned and the rest are chocolate. - Donuts Near Me - Sacramento, California

We stopped by this donut shop because I was craving donuts. I ordered a raspberry-filled and a glazed donut, and my partner ordered his two donuts. After paying and tipping, we started to walk out, but I asked my partner to double-check the bag to ensure all four donuts were there. We realized one donut, the glazed, was missing. I looked back and saw a single donut bag on the counter, so I went to grab it, thinking it was ours. The cashier immediately yelled, "That's not yours," multiple times at me and then yelled to the employee who had taken our order. When he came over, I explained we were missing the glazed donut. He said he had only charged for three donuts. I told him the glazed donut had been missed. He then added it to the order and rang me up again. There was no apology for the confusion or the way the situation was handled. The interaction left me feeling disrespected, and it completely ruined my appetite. I don't plan on returning due to the poor customer service. read more

It's been years since I last visited Donut Fair but I have many fond childhood/lifelong memories there and happened to stop by at 12:51 pm, Friday, to see if they had any of my favorites left and they did! Even at that late hour, just before closing, staff was bright and cheery and their donuts were delicious, fresh, and better than any other popular chain or store bought variety I've ever tasted - just as I remembered. Worth it and highly recommended! read more

So soft and light. I got here around 10:30 on a Friday, wondered if they'd have fresh donuts. Not only fresh but the best I've had in Sacramento. I visit Sacramento twice a month and try different donut shops when I can. I think Donut Fair beats the most popular donut shop that I've been to. They have white powered cake donuts! The price was fair too, $14 for a dozen regular donuts. Very nice customer service. read more

Best donuts around. Fresh every morning. Go early they sell out fast. Reasonably priced.

We love Donut Fair. They have the best donuts. Love their glazed and chocolate old fashioned. Cake and glazed donuts, plus bars all delicious. read more

The donuts are excellent. The coffee is equally delicious and the service is always friendly. A great local staple in our community.

We bought a dozen donuts yesterday. We hadn't stopped here in a few years - and I was delighted with the product they now serve. The donuts are cooked to perfection, with only the outside crisp with the deep fry. The donuts are delicate and with an excellent crumb -delicious. The glazes are just right, the jelly filling delicious. This place should be packed. They didn't have any tables up which made me sad as I would love to bring family here for coffee and donuts. read more

Donut Fair has the BEST GLAZED DONUTS! All donuts are light, fluffy, flavorful without being greasy & leaving you feeling heavy. The glaze is deliciously light and finger-licking good. I'm usually a chocolate frosted or chocolate cake kind of girl, but they nailed the simple glazed donut and that's what I crave from there! read more

The donuts are fantastic and always taste fresh and delicious! Staff are incredibly friendly and always greet you at the door as well.

Apple fritter review #7: Glaze: light, but not in a bad way. 3.5 stars. Outside: crispy enough on the edges, less so in the middle, but I'm not mad at it. 3.5 stars. Inside: light and fluffy and just moist enough. 4 stars. Filling: very little apple filling but the pieces are good sized. 3.5 stars. I can give them four stars. The donut holes are quite good, the flavor is nice, it's either a lot of vanilla or maybe some almond. read more

Easily the best donuts in town! Been coming here for years and always stop by when in town. Everyone there is always so sweet and it has the coziest local vibes. The donuts aren't too sweet and just the perfect fluffy texture. Still amazing quality after all these years! read more

Well, you have to admit, it's all about the donuts. Donut Fair is your classic, strip mall donut shop with little effort spent on interior decor. The focus, as it should be, is delicious donuts served hot and fresh with a greeting and a smile. The staff is pleasant and very efficient. Be sure and get there early so you don't run out of your favorite. read more

Solid donuts at fair prices. I love how the only negative comments on this place are people who claim to have been coming here for years, love it, and then let one bad experience ruin it for them. They go on swearing they'll never return and proceed to warn others to avoid this place like the plague. Chill the eff out people... businesses have off days. Just like people have off days. Where do you get off getting upset over cheap donuts. Relax. read more

I have been coming here off and on for 40 years and have never been disappointed with the donuts. The buttermilk bars are phenomenal and the maple bars and glazed donuts are the best around. The service isn't always perfect, but I cut them some slack for having run this business everyday for decades while starting their workday when many of us are just going to bed. They're obviously doing something right. Some of these negative reviews are so petty, I felt compelled to leave my own. Seriously, 1* because they made you take your dog outside (btw, thank you to them for that) or shorted you 3 donut holes or had an ATM problem once in all the years you've come here?? WTH people?!! I really don't understand the mentality for posting a 1* review to anyplace based on one negative experience, especially if you've been there many times and all other experiences were positive. That's entirely unfair. How do you survive in the world if you stop going everywhere that wasn't perfect one time?? Ridiculous! read more

My family and I used to visit them for donuts every Saturday after my daughter's swim class since they are located next door to Little Whale Swim School. We had decided to pick up donuts a couple of weekends ago at around 9/10 AM and when we arrived they were almost sold out! I know that donut shops open early, but I also know that Donut Fair is pretty popular so I wasn't very surprised! I actually felt bad for the people who came in after me when it was my turn and I needed to order 2 dozen donuts, but first come, first served, right? LOL Their donuts are just the good old fashioned kind. No gimmicks, no fancy schmancyness. I order an assortment when I stop in each time and I'm never disappointed! The ladies who run the place are friendly, fast and always make sure not to let me forget to order coffee before I leave! Can't wait to add them back to my weekend routine once the shelter in place is lifted! I love me some donuts! read more

Fresh hot donuts. Very good!! Owners were very friendly and patient. Donuts so good line was out the door.

The donuts are delicious, but the customer service is what stands out at Donut Fair. I've been in twice now and the staff have been so appreciative of my business both times, it's wonderful to start my day on such a positive note with great people! read more

This is my go to place for donuts. Always the best! They open early and have fresh donuts every morning.

The jelly donut I had was completely filled, no pocket of air or anything. The service was nice and very fast. They seemed to be very stocked up on lots of additional snacks and beverages. read more

I typically get a few dozen for my nursing students before heavy seminars and I have to say, every time the students are impressed and quick to say how good these donuts are. Overhead them talking about them the next day! I've been able to call the day before and give a heads up I'll be picking up 4 dozen and the people are always friendly. I appreciate this business and plan to keep visiting! read more

My wife will not go anywhere else. She is a donut critic and loves these donuts. I must agree!

I got a craving for something sweet and naughty, and I decided on a donut. Based on Yelp reviews I wanted to give Donut Fair a whirl. The shop itself is in a run-down looking little strip mall. However, the interior of the store is clean, and the little lady who helped me was very friendly. Since I went in the afternoon around 2pm, the selection was less than normal (I am sure because they open at 5am). Anyway, I didn't hold this against them. What they did have to offer was some cherry turnovers, chocolate bars, maple bars, donut holes, and a few apple fritters among other things. The fritters were calling my name, so I purchased one of them and a container of milk. All I can say is WOW! There was a subtle crunch with each bite, and then the dreamy apple goodness just melted in my mouth. YUM! I can't wait to go back in the morning and try different varieties when they're warm and super fresh. And believe me, I will be returning!! read more

I used to come here at least once a week but moved away and hadn't been in at least 3 years. I'm In town and was excited to come here after so long. I had my golden retriever puppy with me who I wasn't going to leave in the hot car so I carried her in my arms like anyone would a baby and was yelled at the second I walked up to the counter. Puppy was calm in my arms not bothering anyone I was going to order a Donut and leave. Instead I left embarrassed and unimpressed with the customer service. There's a certain way to talk to people and yelling at them is not one. read more

Best donuts in town, good prices, friendly owners. No, they don't have any kooky, exotic donuts. Just the basics, but done better (and bigger) than anywhere else in the area. read more

I went to donut fair for a quick donut grab for the family. The donuts were fresh and delicious! Similar to the other reviews, it's a donut shop with the traditional donuts so I would definitely recommend if that's what you're looking for. They do a great job of maintaining distance and following safety protocols during COVID regulations. read more

Only a few cake donuts and a few dozen donut holes left. The donut holes were tasty though

Worst customer service ever. Their saving grace is the location, adjacent to the swim school. I was yelled at in front of my child for trying to pay for another child's donut. So rude! read more

Used to come here as a kid. Revisited the shop twice and was disappointed that the filled donuts are only filled about 1/3 at best.

Very good tasting donuts very impressed! Even the kids sprinkle ones taste good that's not common.

Pros: This place has good donuts. In the morning it can be very busy. For being regular doughnut shop, the espresso was great. I went few times just for the espresso. Cons: - They have no WIFI - I thought WIFI is becoming standard everywhere? - They charge extra for using your card, so if you can, bring cash. That really sucks. - If you come early, before school starts, too many students come by and it gets busy and too noisy. read more

This place runs out of donuts at least 2 hours before close and struugled to experience one until today. Walked in and there was only 3 donuts left and 2.05 minutes left before close. I just bought one large fritter and surely enough 3 minutes later a person bought the last 2. Every five minutes afterwards people were told' "no more donuts" I could see the sadness in their faces. So why is this place so great? When I took a bite of the fritter, I was truly in donut heaven. Crispy on the outside and moist inside, the flavors of apples and butter rushed into my mouth. All I can think about is how wonderful the flavors are but worried if I will get a Heart attack. I can agree, this is going to be my future donut shop from now on, just come at least 3 or more hours before close. read more
