    Says it's open but it closed
    Mayra G.

    Dude, the sign said it's open and I got extremely excited especially by the potent smell of the place that I ran over to order a few dozen but to my disappointment, it was closed. WtF! Sad times .

    Blue donuts? Yes please!
    Isabel T.

    Some friends brought donuts over a while back. And one of the donuts was blue. My kid has been asking for a blue donut ever since. So on Saturday morning i schlepped to this spot with my kid only to walk in and discover (gasp) no blue donuts. The kind woman there didn't bat an eye and said she'd make me some. She did and because the icing was still wet for the transport home she gave my kid another donut (white with sprinkles). i can't rave enough for the service. Three cheers for famous donuts.

    Really good donuts!

    My first visit. The donut selection had my favorites. Nice folks that greet you with a smile. I will definitely get donuts here again.

    What's so Famous about these Donuts?....... I don't know either! just another Asian owned Donut shop with an average selection of the basic dounts.... that's all you get!. I will say I did hit this place up mid-day and donut was fresh, selection was limited so I grabbed an Apple Fritter....

    The donuts were piled on top of each other and the place is a dump! It was dirty and looked like cockroaches take over at night.

    I was walking home from CVS on Baker and Fairview in the morning, and decided to stop in DK's…read moreDonuts to inquire if they made ham & cheese croissants. From past experience, the best ham & cheese croissants came from good ol' mom-&-pop donut shops and it had been quite a long time since I'd had one. To my surprise and excitement I realized this place is not just a donut shop but a hidden gem for savory breakfast "pastries" and sandwiches as well. Their ham and cheese croissants are quite large pillows-of-buttery heavy (yet delicate if that makes sense) dough soft on the inside, and beautifully crisp on the outside. It has that unmistakable, old-school donut shop magic--warmed gooey melted cheese, savory deli ham in a buttery & flaky croissant that sheds flakes into the bottom of the old school bag, and satisfying enough to carry you for hours. I ate half on the way home and was excited to eat the 2nd half the next morning. My advice...SKIP THE COMMERCIAL CHAINS AND SUPPORT THIS LOCAL SPOT if you desire a nostalgic legendary ham & cheese croissant - Perfection!

I ask her to run it as credit, she says 'lot of customer trust me' I give her back my order and cancel. Shady. No reason they can't run as credit or bring the card reader over to the window. I'm not giving you my PIN number when you've taken my debit card out of my sight. STAY AWAY

    I've been coming here for about four years because it's close to home, and I've brought my son here…read moremany times as well as purchased dozens of donuts for birthdays and my team members at work. Unfortunately, after my last two experiences, I will not be returning. On my previous visit, we ordered bagels with cream cheese and received barely any cream cheese. When I politely asked for more and offered to pay for it, the interaction was uncomfortable, but I decided to give the shop another chance. Today, my son specifically asked to come back for a donut and bagel. We were the only customers eating inside. Shortly after receiving our food, an employee began mopping the very small dining area with a strong Pine Sol solution. The door were open, there was no air conditioning, and the chemical smell became so overwhelming that I told him I was having difficulty breathing and asked about it. Rather than simply waiting until we finished eating, he argued that other customers like the smell and that no one else complains. Eventually he said he would stop while I was there, but by that point the entire interaction had become unnecessarily uncomfortable. Other employees were also speaking loudly from the back, and the overall atmosphere made my son and me feel extremely unwelcome. I don't expect perfection, and I'm usually very understanding about service issues. But customers should be able to sit down and finish their food without strong cleaning chemicals being mopped around their table, and a reasonable concern should be met with courtesy rather than an argument. After supporting this neighborhood business for four years, including larger purchases for my workplace, it's disappointing to say I won't be returning or recommending it. There are simply too many other places where customers are made to feel welcome. Please note: this is a VERY polite version of what happened. This was an awful experience. I will never recommend this business and definitely will not return.
