I discovered Golden Doughnuts in 1996. Since then I have used their services and products in every workspace and meeting I have attended or managed in the greater Anchorage area through Girdwood. Advance ordering and early morning pickup has been a blessing. Thank you for providing quality service. read more

5 stars for the donuts, in this surprising dive of a place. It looks like a Dunkin Donuts recovering from some hard years during the 80's when it had a run in with coke and cheap booze. The donuts are delicious, and the coffee was surprisingly solid. The atmosphere is a absolute zero, and the staff look slightly unhygienic and like they've worked 40 hours in a row. Worth a look, and a donut, but I think I'd still prefer a dunkin... if they existed up in Alaska.... read more

I didn't realize how much I liked this place until they closed for a month (August) while road construction prevented road access to their store. I tried to go other places and found that Golden Donuts is the most convenient and delicious place in town. Their operating hours allow me to stop by after work or on Sunday. (I found this is not the case at many bakeries) The service is always kind and helpful. The doughnuts are delicious. I buy a dozen almost every week. :) read more

Donuts were excellent service was great. Large variety to choose from. Definitely will return.

We've been here, are at least tried to go there a few times over the past couple of years, and their donuts were ok, and the service was consistently bad. The last time we went, their simple glazed donut was literally half the size it used to be. I don't know if the batch was just accidentally made smaller or what. Too many times have we attempted to go here and they have been closed either to no donuts, or due to the fact that they're on vacation. Really? You make donuts for a living, and you can't keep them instock? And you can't hire people to run the business while you're gone? Thank goodness Krispy Kreme opened for a decent fresh donut in this town. Will not return. read more

Nastiest donuts I have ever tasted. You really can tell cause they look like they taste.

I found this place visiting Alaska. I love the lady who owns it... I came late at night and her kindness to me was appreciated. She made me a special tea and gave me a free donut with it. I went the second night and she went out of her way to make sure I had a great donut and tea. There donuts are delish and the people are nice. I highly recommend if you need donuts for any events or for the office you need to come here! read more

The donut is okay, but the staff is RUDE. The donuts didn't have a label, so I ask her about it. She answered me in a manner like it was some obvious matter-of-fact that I should have learned from preschool. Would not come back once I find another donut store in town. read more

Golden Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Poor donuts and even worst Service. It seems like I'm not the only one that agrees that a 24 hour donut shop should make donuts more than one a day. I am not a regular at this establishment. I had recently been given donuts that was bought at 6:30 am. Those donuts seemed to be the best I had had in Anchorage. So I thought I would go by and get some for the house. I showed up at 6:30pm and asked for a couple of standard donuts. Chocolate glazed, fruit filled, eclair. To my surprise they had none. Since I was I the drive thru I asked the lady what was available. Her answer was to step away from the window so I could look at the donut display. The problem was the display was 15 feet away and facing the opposite direction. So I gave up. I asked the lady what time they cooked donuts so I would know what a better time to return for a better variety. Her answer was around 2am or anytime throughout the day after that. Since I was there anytime after 2am I'm gonna assume that 2 am is the only time they cook throughout the day. read more

Muy good. I like doughnuts. That's all I have to say about that. I had a chocolate one

Best donuts in town! Doesn't smell and taste of grease. Not dense. I typically get an apple fritter or regular glazed donuts. They are so light and fluffy! Prices aren't jacked up so high unlike dipper donuts. read more

How could anyone give this 3.5 stars or less? We get these for my workplace once a month. They have one cruller? that's not in a doughnut shape, but just a twisty straight piece covered with cinnamon sugar that just melts in your mouth when fresh. I tried googling a picture, but couldn't find one. My only complaint is the rapidly rising prices. These aren't cronuts! heh read more

So, I've been on this donut kick for a bit, and I'm not sure why, but I've been coming here a couple of times a week since I've realized this place is really open 24 hours. If you come around 7 there are less donuts. I think it's because the joint bakes once a day around 9PM for the next day. Anyways, I've been digging the maple donuts and the chocolate glazed old fashioned. I like the glazed bizmarks with raspberry, but the glaze is incredibly flaky and gets everywhere. You need a baby bib to eat it. Some of the donuts aren't great to look at, but it's going in my gut so it doesn't need to look pretty. I'd rather have a tasty donut from here than a pretty donut from Fred Meyers. Staff has been nice, and reasonable, even at 12AM. Because there is a late night option and since I've had decent service I've decided to up it a star. There are punch card options for the people that like to order a dozen for the office or for personal consumption. Will come again. read more

Golden Donuts - View from the drive thru. - Donuts Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

My second time here with my family there's not gonna be a third. Third times the charm. Some donuts look good but taste awful and their facilities look disgusting. One night they had a homeless girl just sitting in their lobby for no reason. And they treated us like we were dirty and awful like they were afraid of germs or a virus. No greetings from them either not even a smile like welcoming us, maybe they're picky. read more

Very disappointed! I saw it's opened 24hrs so I visited around 6pm, no donuts left! If any donut shop opens 24hrs, they should have fresh donuts available at all time. I wanted to support local business but I won't be returning read more

I love the donuts but the dentist right by it is really bad if anybody knows how to get a Yelp review on that please get a zero Stars thank you by the way I love your donuts!!!! read more

Went to get donuts today after reading all the good reviews. I was the only person in the store. The woman was very rude and seemed in a hurry to finish my sale. As for the donuts they are very very sugary. it was like eating a bowl full of sugar. read more

Yum yum yum! Soft fresh fluffy sweet! No frills. I like the classic glaze or the Bavarian cream filled chocolate glaze!

Fresh, delicious, and friendly. This is a place I look forward to visiting every time I come home to Alaska to visit family and friends. They'll even give you a schedule so you can pick up your favorite variety fresh out of the fryer. What could be better! read more

I don't come here a lot but the last two times I came in to get a dozen for the office were really weird. Both times I walked in and (different) employees were engaged in a yelling fight with each other, the second time (today) with one straight up screaming in the back, telling the other employee how she works so f%#*ing hard and she isn't appreciated and on and on. And there were other customers in there, too! I almost walked right back out but she saw me and so I didn't want to make it anymore awkward. She was polite to me but seriously, wtf? And both times, while doughnuts were pretty good, their presentation was sloppy. Like some doughnuts looked smushed in the display case. I don't know. It is weird. I'm really thinking I will go elsewhere to get the office's morning fix. read more

I don't know which was worse, the service or the donuts.

Been going here on and off for a few years. Good stuff, I love the apple fritters.

It is tragic. This was, until this evening, my favorite donut shop...best tasting donuts in town and friendly service, particularly from the daughter who has kept the place together for so long. This evening we went there late to get fresh warm donuts. They had about 8-10 trays of fresh donuts in the back but told us they would not sell them until the donuts in the display cases were sold. At11:00 p.m. those are already day old donuts. And tomorrow morning, those same donuts will still be there and now a day and a half old! We walked out. Why would a business prefer to sell good customers, or any customers, day old donuts when they had fresh to serve? If the sense of service and high quality are gone, the taste of the product is sure to follow. read more

I love Golden Donuts and their great selection variety. Today I had a sandwich pocket with veggies, egg, chicken and cheese and it was great . A dozen donut holes and some chocolate milk to top it off and I was very satisfied with my lunch. read more

I have been craving donuts and coffee while freezing my butt here in Alaska. There is not really a good place to buy them in Eagle River, but Anchorage has quite a few options. One morning my brother in-law drove down to Golden Donuts and bought a dozen for us to eat. These are pretty good and I do not see why everyone else had complaints. It was warm, fresh, and a good variety of flavors. I fell in love with their coconut flakes covered donuts. It was such a nice balance of flavor and anything with coconut gets extra points with me. The glazed was pretty standard and so was the powdered. While it is nothing really amazing of a donut shop, it is good and pretty tasty to me. I would order from them again. read more

My husband and I both love the donuts here. Unfortunately more then half the time we go there they are out of donuts or closed. I find it odd because they used to be a 24/7 donut shop. The donuts are great but the short supply and random closes just make for bad customer service. Also being told to come back at midnight for more donuts? Seriously? read more

Rude and crude. They could care less if you shop there. Found another place and the donuts are not dry.

Donuts are yummy but not amazing or innovative. Place is a grimy, and not in a charming way. Staff are very nice. Fun to watch donuts being made. read more

This place has rude staff! Went through drive thru and girl with purple hair was rude ... And rushed us. Probably won't be back ..

Donuts were on par with pre-packaged grocery store donuts at best. Not going back unless I want a bad donut at 2am.

I have been a weekly customer here for 2 yrs. This family-run business is professional, with friendly service & delicious donuts. Each week the owner remembers our usual order & has it ready. They are kind to my young son & take an interest in him, making him feel special. This is a wonderful business to support. read more

Don't expect a donut here until July 7, 2015. We dropped people off at the airport and drove the almost 5 miles back to here to find them closed for a month. Don't mean to skew the star ratings but people need to know they are not open. read more

So coming to golden donuts is like a bad sexual experience. You look forward to it for days and get really excited about the worlds perfect donut then... You leave disappointed because they either are all out of the ones you were fantasizing about OR they are closed. I don't come that regularly and they are 50% of the time closed (not on a regular closed day) when I come. I am recreationally outraged! Thanks a lot GDonut for giving me the greatest thing I've ever known and then taking it away! read more

WHAT A JOKE! Just go and enjoy the best Alaska has to offer when it comes to donuts. I've never had a donut anywhere else in the world so afaik these are absolutely the best. (Whenever I got ahold of a krespy kreme it was slimy and just okay) Grocery store donuts are just slightly better than the day old heat lap food they sell. I usually get the large donuts at Golden which are a few cents more and it lasts me the whole day. Great coffee too. We go in there each payday as a treat and they always have a full stock of donuts. People are just jelly. I dont even know why I went on here in the first place... these yelp people are delusional and cartoons like southpark and family guy does the justice. read more

This is a good donut shop with a lot of variety. They are open 24 hours a day so they are pretty well stocked as opposed to when you walk into other donut shops later in the day (Dino's donuts). They were standard, nothing crazy or substantial. They have an old donut shop kind of feel. The staff wasn't overly friendly, but enough. I would come back again if I had another craving. read more

with the Addition of Krispy Kreme now here in Alaska...I Will continue to Come here because their Doughnuts are Bigger and taste better to me then Krispy Kremes. read more

LOVE THEIR DONUTS! Whenever I get a sweet tooth I head over to Golden Donuts. Their donuts are fresh but you gotta get them quick because they sell out fast! read more

I came in around 6pm. They had a large and great selection to choose from and they were delicious! The staff was also very friendly. The best part.... THEY'RE 24 hrs!! read more

I have one once a year on my birthday. The other 364 days I look forward to it. Are used to eat them more often, which is why now I cannot. They are the best donuts I've ever eaten. read more

Nope.. I'll pass. Under cooked donuts, and not a fresh cup. and almost no selection. A sub par experience for a specialty shop, when compared to the competition. read more
