Working in Fresno for a couple weeks and wanted to take a two dozens of donuts into work and noticed this donut joint was just down the street so I stopped by at 7am. They weren't very busy and I was helped immediately by a very nice and kind lady working there. Got two mixed dozens where the nice woman mixed the donuts for me and my work loved the variety! They were amazing fresh donuts and of quality! Paid $34 bucks I think for both dozens so good price as well. If your in the area and want a donut, don't look any further and just stop here. Worth every penny spent. Thanks Golden Donurs for the great donuts this morning. read more

6/21/25 Getting breakfast for tomorrow! Arrived, small wait and greeted. Ordered their custard coconut donut for breakfast tomorrow and apple crumble donut to split for dinner tomorrow! The worker was very sweet. Paid for order and left. Small little shop. Still, a large variety of donuts to pick from. 6/22/25 Happy Sunday everyone! Custard filled coconut donut was Really DELICIOUS. Love the coconut flakes mixed with tasty custard filling. Fresh & Flavorful! I'm sure mother will enjoy hers when she gets up to have it! Good service & GREAT custard filled coconut donut. Highly recommended! Dinner looks GREAT too!! I'll add it later. read more

Tried this shop out around 6am so they had been open for a good 30 mins and was a little disappointed in the selection available. No maple or chocolate bars, missing a lot of the usual ones and the lady said they weren't ready. Typically with a donut shop if you go early that's when you get the best options available. Other than that the quality was great on what we got and service was quick. Maybe they were just having a slow morning so I'll be returning to see how it is another day. read more

Stopped in this AM to bring donuts to the office, not far from the hotel I was staying out. It's small, but that was OK, selection was limited, and I arrived at about 805am. The service was excellent, was in and out in about 5 minutes. read more

Don't understand why I HAVE to spend $5 to use tap. Wasted my time coming all the way out to you guys.

This is a classic no frills donut shop and I love everything about it. They have abundance of my all time favorite, the glazed old fashioned along with sprinkle donuts, maple bars, and some massive (and delicious!) apple fritters. You can call in your donut order for pickup and choose to customize it or just have them pick a dozen variety for you. Get here early though, we arrived at 8:30am on a Friday and they were almost cleaned out. Bummer. Service is fast and they do offer coffee, but it only comes in one flavor... black. So get your cake donut, a black coffee, and the newspaper because your morning is now booked. read more

Put this place on your radar!! I was treated by a co-worker to a box of donuts, and these did NOT disappoint! You can tell the employees take pride in their work because the donuts are made beautifully and taste just as good. The donuts are perfectly crunchy and fried where they should be and soft and cakey where they should. This is a "TOP 10" donut house. Try them, you won't leave saying "they're not that good" read more

This place is not too inviting with the shades closed but decided to try it anyways. Not a huge selection but it looks like they were cleaning one of the display cases. Grabbed an apple fritter and was on my way. Plenty of parking in there lot and right up front. read more

What I love this donut shop the most is they actually open at 5:30! There are so many donut shops that don't open as shown. My workplace was doing breakfast potluck and I wanted to bring a dozen donuts. This place was the fourth donut shop I went to that actually opened and it saved my day! The service was friendly. The donuts were fresh and fluffy. No weird after taste or oily taste. Highly recommend it! read more

Great family owned donut shop! The donuts are super fresh and taste delicious! The buttermilk bars here are my favorite!

Great donuts and service. The owner is nice but a bit direct. I have visited this place for over 10 years and it's my go-to place. Picked up a dozen today and they were all decorated for Valentines Day. If you get there early, the donuts are often still warm. Yummm. read more

Golden Donuts - Dozen donuts - Donuts Near Me - Fresno, California

This place is a true diamond in the rough. These have got to be some of best donuts I've had between the US and Europe! Just absolutely the perfect balance of density (cakey-ness) vs fluffiness, and sweetness vs savory. And they're so cheap! The best of everything!! If they opened a shop in SF they could charge 5x their current price, and they'd still make a killing every day. To the owner: Please open up a shop in SF!! read more

Very good donuts! My dogs loved the plain cake. I am a apple fritter person. It was very good! Very fresh and tasty! read more

Golden Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Fresno, California

I stayed home with my sick daughter today and I was a little early to her doctors appointment, so I was going to get her a donut. First stop: Vons. I don't know why. Every time I get her donuts I go to a grocery store, well VONS didn't have any donuts, it was 8:25 (not too early for the bakery not to be open, not too late to have missed ALLof the donuts...) AND they didn't have any cream puffs. So, then I go next door to Fresno Bagel, apparently Fresno Bagel only takes cash. UGH! Seriously?! But, it was a good thing, because my daughter had her little heart set on a 'sprinkled chocolate donut'. So then I remember seeing GOLDEN DONUT. My saving grace! Amelia got her donut. Normal prices for donuts, 75-85 cents each. However, there was no cream filled donuts. read more

Great little family-owned spot to grab a few donuts when the craving kicks in on a weekend morning! I've been here a handful of times and always found the donuts fresh, light and tasty. When in doubt go for the classic dusted! They also have great (in value and stature) maple bars and lots of little specialty style donuts. There's a minimum card charge of $5. I never have cash so usually come for one donut and end up loading up instead. I like that they use the classic pink boxes. They also brew fresh coffee and have a selection of milk and other drinks. read more

Our new fav.... my mother said she had a flash back to her childhood they were so tasty. These donuts remind her of a place in Southern California.... super yummy. Doesn't help you leave like 5 mins away and we never had one. Bet we get these often now... read more

Golden Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Fresno, California

I've been going to this donut place since I was a little kid. The same family has still owned this place for a long time. They have good donuts. I like getting a caramel long donut with custard filled inside. They will sometimes fill it with custard if wanting it, if not already there. The donuts run out fast at this place. They're usually closed before 10am and definitely by noon, because they close once they run out of doughnuts. I have to get here early in the morning for the best selection. They accept cash only. This place is at First & Nees. read more

I first tasted Golden Donuts when they were brought in to my work. I try to avoid eating donuts as they tend to be greasy and I usually end up with a tummy ache. But, since it was my boss who brought them in I felt obligated. In my eyes, the chocolate iced Old Fashioned is king. This was hands down the best one I have ever had! The chocolate frosting was actually really chocolatey (unlike our old stand by- Judys). And the cake was perfection! I give this donut a 10 out of 5 stars! Why am I taking away a star? I decided to pay them a visit after raving to my family about these donuts. I went just before 12 on a Friday and they were sold out and closed. I was dissappointed but thought that might be a good sign of the place's popularity. Made it a point to go before 7 the next morning. I found their selection to be slightly lacking. They had most of the basic donuts but 2 big disappointments... no crullers (#2 in my eyes) and no jelly filled (my kid's favorites). So, we will be back but won't make the trip often due to the lack of variety. read more

Not a huge selection but wow those donuts they did have were great! Maybe u need to get there earlier?

I was in the area and craved a freshly baked cinnamon roll when I spotted this place. I got three items on my visit. A chocolate bar, a glazed twist and a cinnamon roll. The woman who helped me was pleasant but didn't say much. I paid cash so I didn't encounter any minimum purchase problems. The chocolate bar was good. The outside a nice golden color with the interior still nice and moist, bordering on doughy. There was a generous portion of chocolate icing on top the would fracture and reveal more oozy icing inside. The glazed twist also exhibited the same golden exterior and moist inside. The icing on this twist was not as heavy as the chocolate bar and only gave a hint of inching. In my opinion just slightly more would have been better. I got too full to make it to the cinnamon roll. More on that later... read more

It's not a trip to Fresno without a visit to Golden Donuts. Possibly the fluffiest donuts ever.

Amazing quality and the customer service was impeccable. They were so friendly and helpful, definitely my new go to for donuts. So happy I found this place. Yummy!! read more

Golden Donuts - Bakers dozen - Donuts Near Me - Fresno, California

Best donuts in town! Their maple bars and chocolate bars are the fluffiest and the best we've ever had. Their apple fritters are to die for. Anytime my kids have birthdays at school they always want to take donuts from here instead of cupcakes. This family that owns this bakery is amazing, they are so accommodating that I can call the day ahead and order six dozen donuts and they will have them ready for me the next day. I never ever have had a bad doughnut, a greasy donut, a donut that leaves a film on the roof of my mouth from Golden donuts. If you want a great donut you need to come here. If you need donuts for your school functions, your office functions, or anything else... you should get them from here. I've had donuts from a lot of places and in a lot of towns and a lot of them claimed to be the best but this family really does have the best and not only do they have the best donuts they're friendly, and in a day like today friendliness matters. Supporting our local mom-and-pop family run restaurants, bakeries, doughnut shops. Yeah this is the place you want to go. My son was so happy that he was able to take 30 donuts to school for his class to celebrate his birthday and that they came from here. And I was happy to be able to call ahead and order them knowing exactly what I was going to get that they were going to be baked fresh that morning and that I didn't have to worry about what I was going to be feeding not only my child but 29 other children at school. read more

I stop by her frequently on my way to work to pick up donuts for the office. The service is always friendly, although not a lot of talking which makes me happy, and the donuts are wonderful. I only wish they had bear claw donuts more often. I've always gone before 8 AM and the selection has always been good and the donuts fresh. There is a minimum purchase for credit card although I don't recall what it is. I've used cash and credit card so the minimum must not be too high. read more

So delicious and fresh! As as ritual on Sunday mornings, I get my employees donuts, and they love them! Sunny is so sweet, I give her a call and she makes sure my order is ready when I arrive! Wonderful service, amazing donuts, and helping a local small business out, couldn't get better than that! I would recommend this place to everyone, because you'd be missing out if you haven't tried it yet! read more

I love these donuts! I haven't been to many donut shops in Fresno/Clovis but I've tried 4 others and this is my favorite so far. They are light and fluffy and not greasy heavy. My favorite are the cake donuts and then the blueberry twist. Oh and my parents liked the cinnamon roll. Overall great donuts and friendly service! read more

classic dougnuts and great taste. needs a little ambiance and more selection to get to 5*. ill go back soon. read more

Golden Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Fresno, California

They have been here and same wonderful family from about 20 years ago. Go early for the best selection and best service. They will close when they sell out which is between 12-2 pm. I go between 6-7am and go home with warm, soft fluffy donuts which my kids devour on Sunday mornings. Only donut holes are glazed, but you can't beat freshly baked donuts and great customer service. read more

Great donut holes! Very fresh and pretty big.

The donuts are okay, the apple fritters are better at Judy's Donuts. Also, They have a minimum $8 debit/card and it is posted by the register not at the door. My issue with this is not everyone carries cash all the time and I don't want to spend $8 when I only want $4 worth of donuts. Wish I would have just walked out now, the donuts were not worth $8. Will not go back even though it is down the street. read more

I didn't care for the donuts. Way too bread-y if that were a word. Too thick. The workers were really nice and the selection was good. Went twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke the first time. I prefer Capitol Donuts instead. read more

Love this place. Been coming here a long time and the doughnuts are always delicious.

Love getting here when they first open in the mornings. Everything is fresh and still warm. Best one ever? Try a freshly made apple fritter ! Its like "fresh from the oven" apple pie! So gooey and warm to eat. read more

Love the apple fritters here!! I give them 5 stars! I have tried several places & they come in 1st , the donuts are great too. I wish they stayed open last noon but I guess they sell out fast so you have to go before noon! read more

Good donuts. Reasonable prices. The only disappointment is you must buy 8 dollars or more to use your debit/credit card.

I have been going to Golden Donuts for almost twenty years. The family who owns and runs the place is very friendly. Their crumb donuts are top notch. Best donuts in town hands down. Get there early for best selection. read more
