    Locals know it and it's time you should know too! This place has been here for as long as I could remember. As business come and go, this place has made a landmark destination for locals to always feel welcome and know where old traditions stay. The donuts are always made fresh and the service is impeccable. Super warm, soft, and light crisp on those donuts. The name sake that is a must try is how they make the CRONUT! (Croissant & Donut!) it's a match made in heaven. Super fluffy and airy as a donut, but added butteryness and layered texture for added depth topped with that simple sugary glaze. It's one addicting donut that would not want to pass up!

    Stopped by early in the morning to get some donuts for the hospital I was shadowing at. I haven't had their donuts since high school and loved that it still had the same good taste and density! I'm not sure if the person that always rings me up is the owner but he is friendly and chill :) got an assortment of 1.5 dozen below see you again~

    If you're craving donuts this is the place to go to! I love their donut holes and maple donuts! They also sell this turkey croissant that's my favorite and go to when I'm craving something on the savory side! The workers are nice and place is a nice vibe too! My sister and I also really like their thai tea! It is a little more on the coffee side, if you're a coffee lover! :)

    Customer service, A+ Turkey and cheese croissant, A+ Cherry Twist w/cream cheese filling!!! A++ I'll be back for sure.

    So when did the buttermilk become smaller than a regular ring donut.

    Love the donuts have come here for years, but this is the second time I've gotten a tiny donut. It was so small. It's sad.

    Latte and fritter what a perfect start to my day.

    Great family owned business. Super friendly and good prices. It was nice to see a family hanging out there having coffee and donuts. Their apple fritter was amazing to the last bite. My absolute favorite. The latte was strong and kept me going all day. I will be back to try more donuts.

    came here at like 5:45 am for 12 donut holes after the gym, for my post workout revitalization snack. it was like 3 and some change for the dozen donut holes and they were pretty good. not a bad price either. the woman working at the time was also very nice so yk i had to add to the tip jar man. call me drake cause its gods plan. na jk. but this place is def worth checking out. solid prices and really nice staff. good donuts also. nah but when i went outside i accidentally dropped a donut hole and was so sad man. almost started crying but i didn't bc i was in a rush to leave. and then right after this i went to safeway down the street to fill up air in my tire but that shi didn't work so it stole my $2.50. yeah but try out golden donuts. really home-y ambiance in the place and good donuts

    Picked up 1 plain old fashion donut for $2.50 and 1 dozen Donuts holes for $2.50. Conveniently next to grocery at major intersection. Quick service. Clean restaurant.

    Donuts tasted good. Not much to choose from. Also, pricey compared to other shops. The only shop open near us on a Tuesday.

    I paid over 15.00 for 6 basic donuts and 4.99 for a dozen of donut holes. I try to support local businesses but this is crazy inflation.

The store is clean, small but spacious, there are a few tables available to enjoy your goods. She had quickly served the line with care. Everyone left with a smile, coffee, and donuts in hand. My friend and I asked about the apple fritters because they are our favorite! She had ran out of the mini apple fritters. So we ended up trying the mini blueberry fritters. I've never heard of them before, it was so delicious. The donut was perfectly glazed, super crunchy on the outside, nice and soft on the inside. It's very sweet as the blueberries aren't as tart as the apples. Nor is the flavor of the blueberries as potent. We left a tip to reflect the incredible service and the sweet lady was so happy and grateful she rushed to give us an Apple Fritter. We told her it wasn't necessary but she insisted. By far my favorite apple fritter I've had in Elk Grove. There's a good amount of apple, nice tart flavor to balance the sweet glaze. Texture again, perfect. Crunchy on the outside and soft fluffy inside. I've been coming back and will continue to support this shop! The consistency in the size, quality of the donuts, and price is unmatched.

    Popped in with my brother to satisfy a donut craving and ordered a variety to get a feel for this…read morespot as it was our first time: original glazed, bear claw, glazed old fashion, apple fritter, cinnamon bun, glazed cronut, blueberry cruller. This is a very small donut spot with a small display of donuts, coffee bar on the side with no seating available but found the place very clean. We really loved the nice thin glaze on each donut - they were not too sweet and we were very much impressed by the original glaze and this was my brother's favorite. The apple fritter was my favorite - nice crispy crunchy edges and soft on the inside - although I wish more apple flavor came through this is still a very solid apple fritter. My husband enjoyed the old fashion the best. Our least favorite was the blueberry cake donut as the blueberry cruller tasted way too artificial which is not to my personal taste. If you love classic donuts with no frills, this is a very solid spot located in a small plaza with decent amount of parking.

    I was picking up dim sum from D&D and noticed Donut Corner next door. I haven't had a donut in ages…read moreso I dropped in. I immediately saw the donut holes and knew I had to pick up some for my son. For me, I like a good old classic French cruller. I like the airy fluffy inside. The donut holes are 12 for $3.75. I asked for 6 and the lady gave me extras. I appreciate the nice gesture. I think she knew it was my first visit. The selection is smaller than your typical donut shop. I have decision paralysis (lol), so that's fine with me as long as they have the classics. Donuts were average taste but freshly made. From the menu, they also sell few popular snacks like popcorn chicken and Vietnamese Coffee.

I come home and open the box and the stax is mini size!! Not the size I remember, but the same price. Ridiculous! They taste fine but I thought I was getting what I remembered! I won't come back. Only gave 2 stars cause the flavor. I looked at previous pictures on the reviews and you can see they use to be way bigger just a year ago! Shame.

    Interesting place but not to our taste…read more We stopped by to get a thank you gift for someone at the Elk Grove dealership. The donuts are definitely pretty, colorful and unique. The injections or syringes full of sweet fillings are quite novel. Kids love 'em. I know they were super popular when a student's parent brought Bad Bakers donuts to celebrate their birthday. So presentation wise, they have it down. Taste wise, ugh. Texture is all wrong and way too sweet. I grabbed an old fashioned donut to take home and by the time we got home, it felt all mushy, unlike old fashioned donuts at other shops. You know it's bad when the donut sits around at home untouched by everyone! But I'd say it's a good place to go for maybe kids, teens and younger customers who just want a cool-looking donut and some sugar. Our gift recipients thought they were super cool though. I kinda mumbled under my breath that they look amazing but not sure how great they taste (having tried the Roseville location in the past). Neat place but not quite our thing.
