    Fluffy, sugary, delightful donuts! Came here on a Sunday morning around 10am and was pleasantly surprised at both the stock of selections as well as the price. But the real clincher was the taste once I got home. These donuts weren't any day old leftovers you'd get at most shops, these were melting in your mouth, fluffy, sugary, dreamy donuts. 10/10 what a gem.

    Delicious, soft, fresh donuts, even in the afternoon! A clean, comfortable atmosphere. Friendly, generous service. I can't wait to try the muffins. Definitely coming back!

    Twice I have gone to this establishment and got donuts that were to say the least "lacked freshness" in other words "stale"

    Doughnuts are the best around the area. Fresh and reasonably priced. I usually buy in Modesto but now in this area I go here.

    ‼ WARNING ‼ DO NOT EAT AT RANCHO CORDOVA DONUTS IF YOU VALUE YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH…read more Before you brush this off, go look at Rancho Cordova Donuts' most recent health inspection. It specifically cites their negligence when it comes to food safety -- including their ham and cheese croissants. This is documented and public record. You can review it yourself here: https://inspections.myhealthdepartment.com/sacramento/inspection/?inspectionID=C2873A6A-27BE-4310-97F3-0336E0658D6F My son became sick with food poisoning after eating a ham and cheese croissant with moldy ham from Rancho Cordova Donuts -- yes, moldy ham. He had to be taken to the doctor because of this. This wasn't an isolated accident -- it was a direct result of their negligent food handling and total disregard for customer safety. After this incident, we went back to them expecting at least an apology. What did they do? They offered to refund $29.35 and didn't even say "I'm sorry." And again -- this is not speculation. Their last health inspection specifically pointed out negligence around food safety, including improper storage and handling of ham and cheese croissants -- exactly the item that made my son sick. This is beyond disappointing. This is dangerous. If they can't keep bread and ham safe to eat -- something you serve every day -- then how can anyone trust them with any food? Parents, friends, and neighbors -- stay far away from this place. Your health is NOT worth their incompetence, and your family shouldn't be a test subject for their lack of standards. They need to fix their kitchen. Fix their food safety. And start caring about their customers -- not just offering refunds after someone gets sick.

I'm not sure if that's all they serve, but the egg was delicious along with the croissant which was baked here. Five stars all day long excellent I got a flat white although she called it a latte with less milk, but it's delicious

I saw it had 4.8 stars so thought it must be good. The parking lot had decent parking and it is right next to an Asian restaurant and Dutch Bros. It's also located on a busy road so you can't miss it when driving by. When I got inside, I saw the space inside was limited and there was a line so some folks had to be outside until the people who ordered have left. My first thought was that the fact that there is a line means that this place must be good! I looked at the menu and noticed they have a good amount of options to choose from other than donuts. I saw they had boba drinks, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, etc. I ended up ordering 1 dozen and then 3 extra donuts for a total of 15 donuts. The prices were pretty fair compared to other donut shops. When I brought the box of donuts to my office, I noticed that not only did they put the dozen donuts in the box but they also added a few donuts holes in there as well so that was a nice touch.

The mochi donuts are definitely on the pricier side, but the taste and quality absolutely justify it. These aren't something I could ever recreate at home, so I don't mind treating myself here when I can. Sometimes regular donuts just can't compare. I do wish they were a bit cheaper -- but I understand why they're priced the way they are. One thing I really like is that they rotate flavors regularly. You might not see the same selection every visit, but there's always enough variety that you're bound to find something you'll enjoy. They also occasionally offer discounts and have a rewards program you can sign up for, which helps bring the price down after you build up points -- definitely worth it if you're a repeat customer. Beyond the donuts, they also serve Korean corn dogs and a fun drink selection. My husband is a big fan of their Baja Blast lemonade because it's perfectly sour, and I've tried several of their other drinks that were also really good, including their milk tea and spring drinks. For the corn dogs, there are lots of topping options, but the Hot Cheeto one is my personal favorite. The shop itself is small and quaint, so there isn't much seating -- just a few spots by the windowpane -- so I usually grab my donuts to go. It works perfectly as a quick treat stop rather than a dine-in place. Customer service here has always been friendly and consistent. The staff is patient, accurate with orders, and helpful when you have questions. I never feel rushed or pressured while ordering. Parking is also easy since it's in the same lot as KP Market, with plenty of spaces -- so again, it's a perfect dessert stop, especially after grocery shopping. 85°C Bakery is also right next door but they tend to be busy which deters me from visiting -- it's more peaceful for me to stop by Mochinut where customers just stop by, pick up their donuts and go instead of mingling around. Honestly, I can't really complain about this place at all -- other than wishing prices were lower -- and it's been a reliable treat spot for years.

With Donut King being open 24/7, they've NEVER let me down when 'called' upon. Which goes to say, Hubs & I are frequent customers of the late night variety. And with us being in our mid-40s, that means after dark but still before 9pm. LOL But hey, I'm sure the consistency we've experienced means we'd likely get the same tasty goodness & friendly service at ANY time of day--at least that's what I'd like to think. Sometimes, we may stop in for a late afternoon treat if in the area shopping or whatnot. So yeah, they consistently good. Some days the case variety may be a little more....sparse, but still enough selection to feel like they don't have something worthwhile. Most times, the case is pretty full, containing the usual classics and a few not so classics. But don't come here looking for that specialty, high-end, bougie-style donut. No no! This is your standard, run-of-the-mill, good ol' fashioned Old Fashioned donut variety, which just so happens to be one of my favorite to get, either in chocolate or maple glaze. Apple fritters are another go-to, while a rainbow sprinkle and even a sugar or crumb donut can be found. Custard filled? Check. Donut holes, absolutely. Maple bar (another go-to of mine) is also a yummy classic served up here. But the one we got on our most recent visit, the one that spurred me actually finally writing up this review, was a BLUEBERRY filled donut. Now, I do love most anything blueberry, so full disclosure. But when hubby tells me even HE found this donut to be SUUUUPER good, that's when I know my tastebuds aren't being biased. Before I wrap this up, let me bring it back to service. The Asians behind the counter, as I've mentioned earlier, is always friendly. Even if/when there occasionally are other patrons besides us, I've witnessed they treat people so nicely, practically as family. It makes me believe they have regulars, but maybe that's just their standard--and if that's the case, it's not a bad business model! So I certainly hope Donut King keeps things going strong and they continue to be abundantly blessed with great customers, to be around for many years to come. Check them out if you haven't, or maybe it's been a while. I'm telling you, these donuts are DEE-liciously approved!!
