New owners purchased about a year ago. Now they make their donuts the night before. So almost 12 hours later, they open and sell donuts that aren't freshly made, like with the previous owner, who would come in at 2 or 3am, so by 5am donuts were still warm! This used to be the freshest/best donuts in the area! Not anymore... If you like 'day old donuts', this is your place! (Not mine) read more

Donuts did not taste fresh at all and they were also very cold. Ordered 3 single donuts at $1.75 each and a dozen donuts holes for $3.20. Only received 10 of the 12 donut holes. Which I read on google reviews that they have shorted other people donuts as well. I guess you gotta check/count your donuts before you leave. Also charged an extra .50¢ for using a debit card. Not worth it. Next time I will go back to Village Donuts where they have fresh donuts and usually throw in a couple extra donut holes instead of shorting the customer like this donut shop. read more

Their donuts are just beautiful and their flavors are amazing! Best donuts I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend them! The service is impeccable, they treat you like you're the only person in the room. So kind and helpful. Every donut they've recommended has been delicious. I especially love the birthday donuts. So creative and fun. read more

They were so friendly and helpful. It was expensive, but I do feel like they appreciated that and added additional donuts and a few extra custom donuts which I really appreciated!! Their donuts are so good too!! I have never liked a chocolate topped donut that much but theirs is absolutely delicious!! All in all excellent service!!! read more

I LOVE DONUTS! These are fresh, big selection, they have great breakfast sandwiches and all reasonably priced. Things to know, their Raised Chocolate and even Old Fashion Chocolate donuts are first given a coating of glaze and then given a coating of chocolate. This makes these particular (chocolate) donuts too sweet for my family's taste. I will ask if they have this with all their chocolate and maple donuts before making my next selection. read more

Literally the best donut shop in town. Their donuts never disappoint and their customer service is the best. Such sweet and kind people.

The ambiance within the walls holding this place up, is calming and I enjoyed that. I live with ADHD amongst a few other mental-health conditions so I switched to a low-carb sugar-free eating plan way back in 2001 I believe it was. Recently I began to crave sugar which isn't my usual motive operandi so I went with it and discovered two individual donut storefront's some distance apart from each other. Today, it's Fails Donut Factory. I uploaded, for your viewing pleasure, greater than 25 photos "today" if my count is accurate. Thus far, I've dined on the bear-claw, filled generously with the most delicious Apple Compote; the amount of Cinnamon is perfect; not too much; not too little. So far it's my favorite donut from them. I should mention though, this is my first time shopping here. I've taken the guess-work out of the ~Cost~ by snapping some real-time photos of their out-in-the open and hanging behind the counter, pricing sheets for items for sale. Another favorite I dined on today is their Croissant glazed donut. It was out of this world!!! No exaggeration; truly. The helpful nicely dressed & clean looking in appearance woman behind the counter told me she was putting one of these beauties in with my order so I could try them. Wondering if I'm not the only Consumer looking puzzled when trying to wrap my mind around a croissant (butter, salty goodness) donut (sweet). It was beyond satisfying. No need for improvement either, on any of the donuts I purchased like their full of apples; Apple Fritter. Again a winner!!! No need to describe just crispy chewy crunchy edges and outter layer sweet as are the diced apples inside of this creation. Can't tell if it's fresh apple or canned but it tastes like "fresh". If you have a look, at the just taken today photos I uploaded here on Yelp's business listing, I think you may find some of your questions to yourself, answered. That's my hope & intention. HOURS: I Verified the hours of operation with the woman and she agreed; up to date and working 7 days per week. There's a photo I took listing the hours of operation. They are clearly posted on the front entrance. Great! I also noted a "YELP"!!! (So awesome to see their participation!) Sticker on the front glass of their front door opening and snapped a picture of it. Not sure what happened to it but it appears to be in need of retirement; very soon, and replaced with fresh, in-new-condition "Supportive material from Yelp to the willing public consumer." It looks cracked & crackled maybe from years of wear or cleaning the glass; its just tired now, its done its duty & we need to get you some replacements. What I can do, is Reach-Out to my Community Yelp! Manager, Rachel I believe her name is, and inform her of the "need". If Yelp! agrees I may be able to assist this classy storefront, in installing the new Yelp! product(s) for consumer-awareness which is another way of saying "Complimentary Advertising by Yelp!". I'll ask Rachel if I'm in the right lane or not either way I'll keep this review up-to-date. I think that about wraps up this supportive review of this consumer-orientated business. I say supportive as, this shop just displaying our "Yelp" banner-like Sticker and the sticker needing to be freshened up; speaks VOLUMES of this businesses desire to THRIVE and make a positive+ impact in this world. Thank you, ~ Jana Leigh Thomas, Sr. Yelper :) read more

Unique and yummy donuts! Quick service. It's a place you pick up and go. There was no seating. Would recommend.

Great donuts and crossants. The specialty donuts are super cool for the kids and grandkids. Im always greeted with a friendly smile and a "Good Morning" . They are so sweet. The store is Always Clean! read more

I love Fails! They never fail (hehe) to keep me a happy customer! Friendly and accommodating staff. The donuts are delicious and they always have cute donuts available. Depending on the season, they switch up their designs (bunnies, pumpkins, Christmas themed, you name it). They also do customized donuts which is so ~LA~ for the area, hard to find anywhere local to do this, perfect for so many occasions. I don't believe they do phone orders. I usually go in at least 3 days in advance, let them know what letters I'm wanting to customize and let them know when and what time I need to pick up, haven't had any issues! Check them out read more

Love. Best donuts in the area. Fresh daily. Don't order the fancy ones. Stick with originals. They do not disappoint.

We've been coming here for donuts for many years and they never disappoint. Today we went to celebrate and they didn't have jam filled left around 4 pm so they filled one for me! My favorite are their cinnamon twists but my son had a fancy strawberry and cream filled one and it looked delicious. The donuts still tasted great at end of the day. Always super friendly. read more

At this time, when the world is all shut down...we are trying our best to support local businesses. I had always wanted to try these donuts. I knew my girls would love them. We got a dozen last week and they were great! Decided to stop by today and the selection was very limited. We got a dozen out of what was available and went on our way. When I got home, I noticed 2 crumb donuts didn't make their way into our box. I gave them a call and let them know and she said OK. I thought she said she wasn't going to charge and I'm like yeah, I paid for them already. So, she asked if I wanted to come get them. I arrived and it was a different lady than had helped us. The first had a black shirt on and this one had a red shirt. I told her I just called and she said 2 crumb, right? I said yes and thanked her and said how I appreciate it. Then she started shaking her head no and asked me if I had money to pay! I was a little confused and sat there for a second. I said I was just here and bought a dozen. These 2 didn't make it into the box. She kept shaking her head no, but still proceeded to hand them to me. She kind of just waved me off. Are you serious?! We just spent $25 on donuts and you treat me like I'm trying to steal 2 donuts from you. Really left a bad taste in my mouth. I wouldn't come back to buy 2 more donuts that were forgotten. Disappointed with how it was handled. Only giving 2 stars because the donuts were good, but bad customer service. Will take local business elsewhere. read more

Delicious donuts. Best donuts in the Central Valley. Unique flavors that make my mouth water.

Yummy yummy fresh donuts! Great good friendly service. Great vibes. Thank you so much

This was our first trip to Fails Donut Factory but it definitely won't be the last. My daughter was beyond excited to see the unicorn and mermaid donuts. The staff was professional and friendly. The ladies making the donuts in the back took the time to show my curious child the giant donut they were making. We got a unicorn, mermaid, chocolate dipped round, glazed twist and 2 blueberry pastries. All were soft, fresh and so yummy read more

Delicious donuts but a bit pricey for the decorative donuts. Paid over $30 for a dozen and the prices for the speciality donuts were not listed. I definitely had to savor every bite. read more

Amazing donuts and really cool styles. I love the Pikachu one. It is really Oakley and it's really fun and it is really cool. It is the best thing in the world. I love going on Saturdays because it's the only day I love except I love soccer too. read more

I remember the first time I tried Fails in 2017. I did not like the frosting on their donuts because it was a thick, hardened mess, and unappetizing. Now, I guess the recipe changed and the frosting and donuts are absolutely delicious! Whenever I visit, they always have an abundant selection and everything in the display case is beautifully arranged. I also appreciate how they don't run out early and make enough donuts and pastries that are available even after 11am EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. Thank you, Fails!! You never disappoint. read more
