    Bacon Maple - SO GOOD
    Ashley S.

    We went here this morning and were blown away! We aren't huge donut people to begin with, but these are so good. We got five to try from the case that was made today. To say they were fresh was an understatement. I don't think I've ever had such a fresh donut. Perfect balance of sweet and soft pull apart dough. The maple topping was amazing, bacon crispy. Apple filling and lemon filling were out of this world. And the apple filling was finely diced apples which made it easy to eat. Sugar cookie coating on the apple one? To die for. The service was great and she was very transparent with us about day old/ fresh donut options. Didn't bat an eye when we only wanted fresh this go around! The shop is small and the only improvement I would make is making it more comfy so people want to stay and eat. Don't skip out on this place!

    What a great shop right on the corner of Railroad and N. First (State Hwy 3). Due to COVID, management is asking for no more than 2 customers in the serving area at a time but there is a small covered alcove where you can wait your turn out of the weather. Donuts are made in Olympia and trucked in daily. Once they're gone for the day that's it, so get yours early. My favorite are the Fritters (Blackberry, Pineapple, and of course Apple) as are the Peppermint Candy Sprinkled (drool). Staff are very friendly and the location is great. They also have some drinks including regular brewed, self-serve coffee. Please support, this is a great local shop!

    Went by last Friday, there was a street fair in downtown Shelton. I heard about this donut shop and I just had to give it a try. I purchased my favorite the apple fritter and all I have to say OH MY GOSH! It was fresh, soft, not greasy, just enough apple chunks (I'm drooling right now just thinking about it). We went back the next day to get more and found that they everything was SOLD OUT before noon, no wonder because their donuts are amazing! This place is awesome and I can't wait to try more!

    Cute donut shop in Shelton with absolutely delicious donuts! The experience was topped off with amazing service! Will most definitely be back!

    Absolutely incredible! The softest, freshest donuts. You want to make sure to get there early, because they'll go fast! A great variety ranging from frosted top, cereal covered, fritters, and more. Not only are the donuts great, the owner is absolutely lovely. She created such a welcoming environment. Great customer service. We couldn't have asked for a better addition to our small town, Shelton.

It has been awhile since I have been in, it is good to see the place was busy. The area is a good place on Pacific and right across from a busy shopping center. I know I will be back hopefully soon since I do work closer.

    So I had no money or had no access to my money when I was hanging out in Lacey…read more But I came down here because there are a lot of Latin markets down in this area and I love going to a Latino market and just seeing what they have. You see I want to make a suet based tamale... And so I needed to do a little research with the carnicerias in the area: Apparently, that is a New Mexico thing... and not a Pacific NW thing. But I digress... I came here because man they make the donuts fresh every day... and they sell out every day. So I'm not sure who thinks they're getting a stale doughnut, but I think they're lying. I asked the Asian girl and the Indian girl here who were very kind and very complementary to trade some information with me for a sample: And so I got a delicious cup of coffee well below the going rate for $2. If you sold this at any coffee place anywhere else you could unabashedly charge $4.75 for a 16 ounce cup. What I told her was how to get Mexican Coke in a 2 L bottle... Because that is a secret, I know. What she gave me was an equally great secret: Who supplies the coffee? An absolutely incredibly warm coffee shop not much seating. But fresh donuts, and absolutely amazing coffee, and wonderful service staff. Thank you for treating me like a human being... I did not have access to my money and I could not actually go back by because I was leaving town. If this place has bad reviews, it's because Lacey is not welcoming to those who are not white, straight, or middle class. And it certainly does not welcome immigrants. An amazing establishment that it's probably been hurt by racism.

They made the donuts birthday cake perfectly. (Considering the regular cake with too much icings, I decided to have donuts with cream, which is much healthy and tasty!)

    After a yummy lunch outing elsewhere, my son and I were craving donuts for dessert, so we stopped…read moreby here since the name of the store appealed to us, and the location is near our home. The lady who took our order was patiently waiting behind the counter and provided the bare minimum friendliness for service -- nothing extravagant nor terrible. We purchased a dozen donut holes and 4 individual donuts: 2 maple bars, 1 chocolate bar, and 1 regular chocolate donut, as well as their flan, which was about $20 in total. The donuts were packed into cheap brown paper bags, so they're easy to eat immediately. The donuts were cheap enough, but the signage for the prices was located on the left on a chalkboard on the wall, which was very easy to miss after entering the shop, and we didn't notice it until after we ordered. My son enjoyed the donuts, but I found the donuts tasted stale, perhaps because we visited in the evening when they were no longer fresh. I would have liked them to be sweeter and fluffier, but it was inevitable that the quality would be mediocre based on the time we arrived. They offered an okay selection of donuts, which were all displayed visibly as soon as you entered, and there was some variety, but nothing that particularly stood out to me besides the maple bars, so not much creativity there with the donut options. Perhaps, again, it was due to our late visit. However, they do offer other desserts, like pastries, but those looked too filling for me at the time, so I settled for the flan, which was still rich and heavy, but I was able to refrigerate it to enjoy at a later time. I noticed they sold some sweet bread too, like conchas, but those didn't interest me at the time. They also offer drinks and ice cream bars on the right after you enter. There's a decent amount of seating, but the shop was practically empty when we were there, because we're weirdos who visit around 18:00 for donuts lol. There wasn't really anything that caught my attention enough for a return visit, besides the convenience of the location. Overall, not a bad visit, but nothing enticing enough for me personally.

    You see when I went in here you understand I'm a coffee expert:…read more And the pastries here looked amazing. And they are the fritters here are absolutely mind blowing in terms of beauty, size and value. The problem here is the third shift guy who I assume is either a manager or a supervisor. I was not treated well here you see the thing as I was not homeless so much as Apple had messed up my payment and so I could not pay for any coffee at the time. I asked for a sample. I asked for a sample on third shift. I asked for a sample on all the shifts just to make sure I didn't have the wrong idea about the people who work here. You know, sometimes you just get the wrong representative.... Or someone is just having a bad day.. I have never been treated so poorly by Latinos. I grew up working in the field with Latinos and I love Mexican food. In fact, I make a mean lardo tamale :) But these people were extremely inhospitable when I came into even warm my hands. I had no place to go and they were just mean to me. And so I came back five or six times and finally I came back on third shift when a friend sent me some money and I said I will be back in the morning to buy one of your fritters. And the guy working third shift said don't bother coming back and I said OK. He didn't even want me there when I was a paying customer. So the donuts, here are absolutely excellent I'm sure. But the people who work here are absolutely unkind to people. So two stars because I know the food would be excellent. But the customer service and the treatment of your neighbor is absolutely lacking. Ambiance is well... what you would expect from a local donut shop there's plenty of room... And the heat is already paid for, but the way they treat the homeless in Lacey is absolutely shameful. I call Latinos mi gente..: because they are my people. But the people who work here are not Mi Gente.
