I came in with high hopes and expectations and was in a way disappointed. I have heard amazing things about the donuts and was expecting melt in your mouth deliciousness. To me it's the same as a Hyvee donut to Hurts. I tried 5 different donuts (don't judge) The service was nice but I did feel rushed, being a first timer I had no idea what to order but felt as I was a burden for being there read more

Fancy, MOIST donuts!!! These donuts were so good! Sweet, savory, but most importantly, not dry! We placed an delivery order the night before and they arrived right on time. They were warm and so yummy! Love the variety! read more

We had heard about Hurts Donuts since moving to the area during the summer but never had the opportunity to visit and explore their excellent offerings until this weekend. I am so glad that we finally made it to the store!!! Open 24 hours, seven days a week, there is plenty of parking and seating in this fantastic place. There are great photos with some Hurts-editing and fun artwork on the walls. I loved the customer service, and their window to the actual bakery is worth a look, as their methods are fun to follow. My Way Better Half had an old-fashioned donut that was terrific, and my Twix-topped chocolate icing donut was truly incredible! I savored every bite, and it was phenomenal. Soft drinks, water, and coffee available. read more

Neat litttle chain in Iowa. Clean and homogenized. A bit quirky and a bit hipsterish. I miss the "mom and pop" of donut shops. The good news, Tasty donuts with plentiful toppings. I got a peanut butter cup and a salted caramel old fashioned. Ate the Peanut butter one. Maybe should have waited and eaten it in 2 settings. It was really good but so filling. Service was super friendly and the place was super clean. Safe bet for solid donuts. read more

Omg delicious donuts!! Definitely coming back the next time I'm in Des Moines. They're open 24 hours which is nuts! Cool location near some of the bar scene, and you can watch them making the donuts through a window. I highly recommend. The blueberry cake and the homer are my favorite hands down! They have a huge selection so good luck choosing! read more

My hands down favorite donuts! I have to stop in every time we drive through the area. The maple bacon long John's are a must. I've had about 15 of their donuts at this point and haven't found a bad one. The nerds and streusel ones were surprise favorites. The cold brew and flavored cold brews were not so good, I'd pass on those. read more

Hurts is one of our favorite donut chains, and the West Des Moines outlet our favorite stop inside the franchise. It's convenient to the interstate, surrounded by ample parking, and it's open 24 hours a day! We stopped twice on our most recent visit to the area, once late at night, and once in mid-afternoon. A long line at 11 PM, and all but deserted at 3 PM. Lots of choices, all well made and fresh at both times, and getting a sixth donut free with an order of five is (pardon the pun) icing on the cake. Service here is friendly, and that always enhances the experience. We recommend that you pay Hurts a visit. read more

So many amazing flavors it's so hard to choose! The good news is, there's no wrong choice! I personally go for the jesús. It's like an iced mini donut flavor! Combining my two faves.

Great fresh donut selection, friendly, helpful service, at a great value! Hurts donuts are the best!

Fun donut shop with unique offerings for all types of donuts from donut holes to apple fritters that are bigger than your face! Always fresh, they're open literally 24/7, and also serve good coffee! Donut shop has cool decor and clear windows so you can see into their bakery and watch them make the donuts. So fun! It's a specialty donut place so expect to pay a little more for your sweet treat, but you won't be disappointed. Most staff members are young and inexperienced with customer service so be patient with them. The lines can be a little long on the weekends so don't tell me I didn't warm you when you get stuck behind someone who can't decide what donuts they want . read more

Hurts always gets a 10/10 from me. Fantastic selection and open 24 hours (you can even get an americano) what more could you want? Only feedback would be make more filled donuts!!! Nearly everything here is a topped donut, albeit with a ton of toppings; but would love to see more filled donuts. Don't sleep on the Apple fritters- these might actually steal the show. read more

Got a sweet tooth? Then belly on up to one of the three best homemade donut companies in town. Talk about creativity in variety they got it all.

Then there are the glazed and fruit filled. You can just add so many to your list of favorites. The servers are all so helpful in allowing you to gaze and take you time in selecting your favorite donuts of goodness.

I think about the churro donut all the time. I live in Los Angeles. The cake donuts mmmm

Oh man what a fun time. I pulled up with a minivan full a college guys ready to eat some donuts and sucker punch people and this shop didn't disappoint. Dave welcomed us when we walked in. (Dave is the owner of Hurts Donut or as I like to call him Chief Donut himself.) Let begin with the donuts first. My God I have never seen better flavors. As I started reading the labels my reaction was "Oh that looks good, oh that would be good, shoot I gotta try that one, definitely getting that one." I forced myself to stop reading the labels for fear of dropping a few thousand dollars on donuts. My drink was amazing too. I got a Nitro Cold Brew with a shot of caramel to really max my sugar intake for the night. Dave quips that Hurts Donut is open 25 hours a day, 8 days a week (run the quick maths on that one). Truly a great Donut shop. It's something special. I am going to be back probably later today and tomorrow too, and maybe sometime in-between. read more

Open 24/7/365 Not kidding These are some insane donuts. Have had them at work multiple times, brought in by co workers. This time fresh off the tray and into my mouth. They are quick. The line can be insane, but they are worth the stop. Got the cream cheese red velvet. It melted in my mouth. Also tried the dirt doughnut with the gummy worm. I've hag others too but glad I could finally check in and say how good they are. read more

Always a positive experience. Dropped in to pick a few donuts as a spring break treat. No line and some measures in place to help with social distancing. Staff was helpful and easy to work with my girls to pick out the perfect donut. We did eat onsite but there were no other guests at the time. We are proactive with COVID exposures and we would not have eaten onsite if others in the business as there is not room to properly social distance as it has limited seating and room for a line to order. The flavor did not disappoint. You rarely can go wrong with sugar on a cake like food. We will be back and order again. read more

Service was bad. Ordered a dozen and was forced out of the way by the young blonde gentleman in an effort to serve the next customers. My coffee was made properly the first time i saw, then it was handed to a coworker to have instead and when my drink was remade it was made WRONG. I ordered a caramel machiatto and they served it mixed and with no flavor they made a cafe latte instead. This place is so unorganized run by one adult and a bunch of uneducated teens making minimum wage. Like little oompa loompas at wonkas chocolate factory sucking the teet of the owner in an attempt be trained. It's a shame how poorly this donut shop is run. Thankfully I'm from out of town so I never have to see this place again and remember the horrible experience it offers. 2 stars because the donuts look pretty cool. read more

Selection, selection, selection...what a beautiful thing! Not only was my mouth watering but my eyes were having a hard time deciding what to focus on. Each new offering I saw was better than the last! I decided on the German chocolate, maple bacon, and cinnamon roll. The German chocolate - a moist chocolate cake donut with a velvety chocolate glaze and beautiful dollop of coconut pecan frosting right in the center. It's like a GC birthday cake for one. I almost didn't want to bite into it, as it was so very, very pretty that I didn't want to spoil its beauty. But I did...am I'm not sorry...because my tummy is soooooo happy! The perfect chocolate fix, with a lovely added texture. The maple bacon - there's only one way to describe it: COVERED...because it is covered in bacon. If it wasn't defined as a maple bacon donut, then you may not even know that the glaze exists...because it is COVERED in bacon. It was the first bite I took, and the first donut I finished in it's entirety. Need I say more? Lastly, and most notably, the head-sized cinnamon role. And, as large as they are while naked, on display in the case, they really come into their own once they're piled with that phenomenal frosting. I was thrilled to learn that they aren't dry for being so big (my biggest complaint elsewhere) and contain the absolute perfect amount of cinnamon. Unraveling each bit, while adding meticulous dabs of frosting is truly an experience. It's one that I hope lasts forever...or, at least, until tomorrow morning, although I have my doubts. read more

When I moved to Iowa, I was looking for a place to buy something to gift while leaving my clients in shock and awe! Well, I search for different places and I saw that Hurts Donut came up. At first I thought it was just another donut shop but when I parked my car and started to walk into the building, I saw that it was something different and unique. I walked in and ordered to dozen donuts and they were just looked amazing! The restaurant has an 80s' feel and very hip! You can see into the kitchen and see how they make them. (I came in the afternoon so they were done). They have so many options that I would be here all day to describe all the flavors. But to name a few, they have oreo, Cookie Monster, red velvet, double chocolate, chocolate frosted (Ring). I had the double chocolate and the Ring. You can tell they were freshly made because they just fell apart and very moist. No wonder my clients were very impressed and happy to see their donuts because they loved them! I made an impact and I helped a local business. The staff is very friendly and they will answer all your questions and the different things they offer. read more

Nice selection with more variety than I usually see. We look for donut shops as we travel around the country. I enjoyed the German Chocolate donut. Be sure to order your coffee the first time through the line. Because there is such a large selection and people are maintaining social distance the line moves slowly. You just can't see everything until you get up to the glass front. read more

Hurts Donut - Just a sample of the options - Donuts Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

Read about this place but have never been. Think the concept is similar to Voodoo's. Cute interior and plenty of parking spaces. Sweet aroma once entered. Donuts range from $1.25 to $2.5. Had the Andes mint which is a chocolate cake donut with pieces of Andes mint $2.5 each. Not overly sweet and it was good. Hubby thought the gigantic cinnamon roll is good $7.5. Not a daily type of pastry as it's too pricey but glad we tried. read more

So many options for donuts here. All the types of toppings you'd ever want on a donut! As much as I loves all the flavors I think the old fashioned was the best. Maybe I'm just a simple gal! Definitely not the best donut I've ever had though! read more

Good not great. We wanted some donuts and got these next door. Would prefer Dunkin Donuts to these donuts. Should have got the glazed donuts to compare. Sometimes a donut should just be a donut. Not dessert. But to each their own. read more
