Maple Donuts is definitely a spot worth checking out! I recently stopped by and was really impressed with the whole experience. The donuts were fresh, delicious, and had that perfect balance of sweetness without being too much. You can tell they put care into what they make. The selection was great, the service was friendly, and everything was handled quickly. There's something about getting a fresh donut that just hits different, and Maple Donuts definitely delivered. Since I'm new to the York area, I've been trying different places and finding my go-to spots, and Maple Donuts is absolutely going on the list. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'll definitely be back for more. Great food, great service, and a great local spot. If you're in the York area and have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend giving Maple Donuts a try! 5 stars all the way! read more

The donuts were amazing. We got a double chocolate, chocolate iced, and a Salted Caramel. All 3 were great. Maple Donuts is one of our top 3 donuts in the Central Penn area! The donut selection choice was very limited. Usually going to the main location they have a ton of variety. Possibly the sale to Private Equity has changed their current amounts and overall products. We did go later in the evening, but that never seemed to effect the amount of Maple Donuts in the past. The main location gives you a nostalgia feel. Its still a great spot to sit down and grab a coffee and a donut. The staff was quiet and not too helpful with explaining what some of their donuts were. We will always stop and grab a donut when in York! read more

Staff is helpful and the variety of donuts beats most local places (not that there are many left). Took my elderly (97 year old) great aunt here since her hair appointment was delayed. We were sitting and enjoying our coffee and donuts when I was reading up about Maple donuts and how it's been around for 80 years. She pipes in "I remember when they first opened!" I'm thinking how could you know that. Then I was like, oh yeah, you're 97, of course you would remember that. Maple donuts was family owned for the past 80 years, but was bought by a commercial company about a year ago. Good to see they still have some of the same employees. Still has the old donut shop vibe. Is it supposed to be donuts or doughnuts. Someone please tell me. I really hope they keep the same local donut shop feel. Only negative is there are no free refills for dinning in. We were there for over an hour waiting for an appointment for something else and I figured that someone would be over to top off the coffee, but nope. (Starbucks has refills) I know I know, how can I compare it, but I suppose you now know where we will be the next time. read more

Super disappointing. Dry, mealy..... taste was bland too. Lacking salt maybe? Used to taste good, now crap. Second time in the last few months it was just like this. We won't be back. read more

A York stappel!! Been to York numerous times for York and Maple Donuts has always been a stopping point! The donuts are fresh and delicious every time. The workers have always been so pleasant and helpful as well, love them! Also, you cannot beat their low prices!! They have so many unique flavors and many extravagant ones for special occasions. I also LOVE the stamp reward system for dozens of donuts!! I have to fill in my stamp card : ) ! I definitely recommend checking out this location or any other location near you!! read more

Sorry I didn't take any pictures of the donuts. Because I purchased a medium black coffee. But my husband got an apple fritter. My husband said that it didn't have any apples at all. He didn't like this was our first time here. And it was crowed. The coffee wasn't good I had better. The young lady was very nice. Even the young lady next to her was helping her get the apple fritter and the sugar for the coffee. Only reason I didn't want a donut because they had a fly on it. I seen it but I fly was on one side of shelf. But you know if you seen one their are more they are not covered. But My husband had to have the apple fritter. It was so weird and flies are so nasty. Hope he don't get sick. And we were visiting from Philadelphia Pa. This place had a wide selection of donut, donut holes, and breakfast sandwiches. They even sell donuts in containers to go and grat prices. It look like a old fashion diner. With around bar and booth to seat down and eat. But we won't be back because of the flies. read more

Posted this on the Loucks rd location but it fits even more at this location. This one is MAGA central. Yelp needs a 0 star rating. Grew up on Maple Donuts, was always a treat as a kid. They use to be the best in town. Use to be is the key word there. The owner is more worried about throwing his political views in your face with his bill boards all over the place during election times instead of the quality of his donuts. The old ladies behind the counters could care even less than the owner. They know their customer base is right wing and right wing only in their eyes. Last time i was there a family of 5 I'll just say non white customers were there and kept getting over looked until they were the last ones to be served and the look on the old ladies face screamed disgust to be waiting on them. Putting the bigotry and MAGA crap aside the donuts are just straight trash now. Either you get a dry tasteless donut or an overly sweet donut. I can find better in the bakery at Giant or Weis and they aren't good there either. The owner needs to stop wasting his money on the political bill boards and ads and focus on the ingredients and paying his staff a decent wage so he can hire someone other than retired ladies that don't want to be there in the first place. Go to D.D. instead! read more

This place was... interesting. I really dug the old-time donut shop feel. They still have a counter you can belly up to and have your coffee and donut while reading the local paper. They were also bringing out fresh donuts while we were there, so it was impressive to see the stock turning over so quickly. What struck me as odd was the flagrant Trump paraphernalia. Okay, I get it, that part of the state is very red. But, you know... I think politicizing your business is risky at best, and I'm sure it's costing them business. They even have a donut called 'The Trump,' which I'm sure is as delicious as the rest of their offerings. If I'm ever elected president, though, I'm not sure I'd want to be immortalized in a donut... Anyway, the servers were pretty fast and helpful. Nobody tried to sway my vote or anything, it was just a lot of banners touting 45. It is what it is. If that's enough to dissuade you from going, I can dig it. I stopped because a family member wanted donuts that only they could provide (so they told me). My family and I had a fine visit, were treated respectfully, and didn't make any waves. Great donuts, though. Very creative on some of the flavors, and very tasty as well. Might be the best 'mass-market' or 'chain' donuts I've had. read more

Meh, this was a stop because it looked like something out of an old TV show. the lunch counter, the colors, had all the makings of something out of the 60s But the donuts were fine, I dont think there is a real kitchen as everything I ordered and I saw ordered around me that wasnt a donut was made in a microwave oven and my friend ordered coffee she didnt finish. If im going for a donut I want that to be the focus and nothing about this place experience wise or food wise told me I would ever need to come back read more

I'm willing to ignore the politics for a slice of nostalgia; my parents took us to Maple Donuts every Sunday (60s / 70s) after church and although the place has been kept up and looks bright and shiny, the bones are the same. I live in CT now but make a pilgrimage when I am back in the York area; in a world of corporate donuts (Dunkin has cannibalized most of the indie places in New England) a quality independent donut shop is a gem. read more

Donuts so fresh as usual order was wrong but the donuts do not disappoint friendly service

Okay, I'm a transplant from the West. I have only been in PA a little over a year. Perhaps donuts are different here--especially Maple Donuts. I'm a raised donut lover, and I would like to like these things. Yet they always seem to be heavy and dry. They don't even moisten-up well when dipped in coffee! Maple is now advertising that they are bringing back crullers. That brought me back in to the "factory store" for yet another try. Who can resist a French cruller? The yeasty flavor, the crisp icing on the outside, the stretchy texture (so moist it is almost dripping) makes the cruller the Royal Princess of all donuts! Once again my hopes have been dashed, and my faith in donut-kind has been seriously tested. The dough is not stretchy, nor is it moist. Once again, dipping in hot coffee does little to help. Even the icing is tasteless and could use a little salt and/or butter. I see that one reviewer has mentioned that the place seems to be MAGA-central. This is true, and I want to state that my comments have to do with the product--not the politics. I apply the same policy to the food I eat as I do to the popular music I listen to (which ranges from Joni Mitchell to Charlie Daniels). I do think that APG (America is Plenty Great). Some businesses need to worry about MAQA (Make America Quality Again), though. read more

We purchased what were SUPPOSED to be ethnic Polish donuts. My 87-year-old father considers these a treat and was looking forward to enjoying them with his coffee. However, they turned out to be totally disgusting! Pączki are SUPPOSED to be very rich donuts, deep fried and then filled with fruit or cream filling and covered with powdered sugar or icing. Weight-wise they are a heavy donut because of all the goodness. What we got was lightweight, cardboard thin tasteless dough with a lumpy red filling that could not be identified. If Maple Donuts used any eggs or butter to make these, we certainly could not taste any. And we have no idea what the lumpy red stuff was. My dad is on a very limited income and he hated that we had no choice but to trash these things. read more

Simply the best freakin' donuts in the world, nothing else compares. I grew up with Maple Donuts and I'll never forget that beautiful experience of going in, sitting at the counter with my mom, getting donut and a coffee, and just soaking in the York County vibe. Politics and pettiness aside, Maple Donuts are the tastiest, sugary-est, and best donuts I've ever had! I will always keep coming back. read more

Impressive selection of donuts and holes. Probably an even bigger selection than Dunkin'. The donut flavors here are a bit old fashioned or classic - dont expect the wild n trendy flavors, not did I see a bacon topped donut here either. I got a French Creueller - which was good, light and airy. The PBJ filled donut was a bit heavy - probably would have wanted a more light donut, and the peanut butter glaze needed some more flavor - oh! and wasnt a fan of the cherry filling - more of a grape jelly kinda guy here. Overall this place is a great value, 2 donuts plus coffee for under $4. Definitely would be back to try more. read more

We recently moved into the York area. Everyone told us- You have to try Maple Donuts. Today we finally did. Boy are we glad we did. They put that other donut place to shame.

Best donuts in the world and I don't even like donuts. With that being said this is the only place I eat donuts and I am so disappointed when they're out of my favorite. If I know I am going to be in the area I try to call ahead to reserve the two donuts I like, but normally it's a last minute thing. They also offer a great deal for AAA members if you show your card. Stop by you won't be disappointed. read more

Dry nasty donuts not sure why the hype but drove 2 hours to try them and what a disappointment. Fancy looking donuts but dry tasting

These donuts are great! The variety is interesting, from standards like glazed and chocolate iced to over the top selections like s'mores and coffee bean. Excellent coffee and sandwiches too. I mainly go to the Rt 30 location because the drive thru is easy to access, but all the locations have the same hometown service. read more

Randomly came across this shop yesterday morning around 9:30 on my way to another place. I'm from out of town and not familiar with Maple Donuts, but it looked interesting enough for an impromptu stop. And glad I did! The lady who helped me at the counter was authentically, super pleasant. Sad to say that's a refreshing surprise now days... She efficiently took my small donut and coffee order, rung me up, and wished me a good day! As if that wasn't enough to bring me back next time I'm in the area, the donuts were delicious. If my route goes within 30 minutes of Maple Donuts, I'm making a detour! read more

Updated review: eh, this place lost my business with the flagrant trump love. i come to york twice a week for work, but will be getting my donuts elsewhere. Stopped at maple donuts on national donut day. So many options, I had a really hard time choosing. May or may not have gotten 7 donuts and eaten them all myself. Their cake donuts were my favorite, but the yeast ones were fantastic as well. Super reasonably priced and the employees were patient as I struggled to pick my donuts. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Bought Maple Donuts twice in different years and both times they were really dry with no flavor. Now I bought a package of Apple Fritters 4pk Jumbo not realizing they are made by Maple Donuts and they are worst than the donuts, if that's possible. Very dry also no apple at all just a thin layer of their glaze. read more

It's ok. The variety is really cool but the flavor isn't there at all which is surprising and disappointing. Got a half dozen; Salted caramel cream; its ok, taste like butterscotch - not caramel Vanilla frosted with sprinkles; OK toasted coconut; good Peanut butter and jelly; false advertising!! This should be called "canned cherry pie filling without the cherries" no jelly found and not the slightest peanut butter flavoring in the "peanut butter icing" at all, zero stars Maple frosted; the best tasting one in the bunch Blueberry cake; fine The staff was nice, place has a great variety. I didn't like the homemade icings they made but the donut itself has a great flavor. Next time if I'm ever in the area I'll stick to the glaze or old fashioned.. Oh, they also had a "Trump" flavored donut, I asked the cashier and he said the owner is a huge supporter.. Just for that I may just boycott this place all together lol read more

Fresh I think... But tastes like a stale donut that you found in your grandmother's mildew-ey basement.

We wanted an alternative to the traditional wedding cake, and my husband had sentimental ties to Maple Donuts in York, PA. We ended up with 14 dozen donuts for a fraction of what a cake would cost. With a couple of cake stands, we ended up with a cute donut display. Every guest loved not only the idea but the donuts themselves. Working with Carrie at Maple Donuts, we selected a variety of donuts for our special day. She worked with us to match our wedding colors and select flavors that would appeal to a variety of guests. In addition, she checked in with me prior to the wedding and took payment over the phone, which was immensely helpful since someone else picked up the donuts for me on our wedding day. read more

Maple Donuts - Part of my wedding donut display (by ToddG Photography) - Donuts Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

I haven't been a patron here since 1982! How nice to know that my memory of the place and the reality of it are comparable! So many times, especially as children, we can misremember or over sentimentalize things: again, not the case with this donut place. The service is excellent. The donuts delicious. And the vintage decor and vibe: priceless. P.S. I also got to catch up with a friend I hadn't seen in 34 years. Good karma Maple Donuts. Thanks for being consistent all these years. read more

These donuts are LEGENDARY. Every time I'm in York I find a way to get here. I will go way out of my way to go to this place. Once, I stopped here "on the way home" from something, only realizing later it added something like an hour onto my driving time. Whoops! Still worth it for donut lovers. I've tried many of the donuts here, which I think are super cheaply priced for how amazing they are. Warning to those who don't have much of a sweet tooth--the filled donuts here are sugar bombs--they're also incredible. They have a massive variety of donuts. Some of my favorites are: -Vanilla Iced French Cruller -Glazed Sour Cream -Hot Chocolate -Maple -Zebra (Devil's Food with Vanilla and Chocolate Icing) -Vanilla with Sprinkles Ok I admit it, I will definitely enjoy pretty much any donut from here. Coffee is also solid. read more

I love maple donuts, better than DD any day! Plus it's local so that's a win. The donut shop itself is old school and I hope it never changes (I have faith that it won't!). Plenty of seating inside as well as picnic tables with umbrellas outside. Ample parking. Open 24/7. Take a photo with the giant donut outside. The donuts are fantastic- fresh, soft, awesome flavors and a huge selection with something like 60 varieties!! You always get a bakers dozen, 13 donuts for under $10. Well worth it. They also offer some prepackaged donuts, assorted variety boxed donuts, bottled drinks, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, etc. read more

Maple Donuts - Donuts Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

Maple Donuts of east York is about as awesome as a doughnut shop can get. First,this location is about authentic as a doughnut shop can ever hope to be. Rounded counters, efficient veteran waitresses, and a building from the 1960's. It's a building that is worthy of a doughnut shop. More importantly, the donuts. 58 varieties. BIG, unlike Dunkin's. Fresh. Flavorful. The real deal. I can't say I've had all 58 varieties, but the few I have are fantastic. Price today (Sunday) was $7.99 for the baker's dozen; a sign out front advertised $6.00/dozen on Mondays and Tuesdays. Boston Cremes and sugar doughnut went down without any complaints from the taste buds; kids inhaled their chocolate glazed. Coffee was excellent also. Best part of the deal was, that this was a 10 PM dinner after a trip back to Ephrata from Richmond, VA. Wife made the suggestion somewhere around Baltimore, and a phone call confirmed that they were open 24 hours. Jackpot! Dinner never tasted so good. I can't wait to make a return trip some lazy summer morning! I'm just glad it isn't located closer to home. read more

They have a Trump donut. Sure, its fat and is mostly artificial ingredients but the clerk said it was a perfect donut so I decided to try it. Well the clerk lied, not only did it cost 50% more than all the other donuts but the entire thing was filled with shit. read more

Came here on a weekday night at about 11:30 PM. They literally had 4 flavors of donuts and that was all. What the fuck? You have ONE job.... to make donuts!!!! To top it all off, the donuts were stale, probably made earlier that morning. They were passable, but not really as good as they should be from a donut company that bakes on the premises and is open 24 hours a day. I know, right? Evidently all the "58 varieties" are only available at dawn. Sorry, but I'm not up gonna get up with the cows at 4 a.m. just to go to Maple Donuts. I really was excited about coming here. It's too bad. OK, so I would give it two stars, but the lady behind the counter looked like Edith Massey and her attitude told me she was just about fucking over it all, so I had to add another star. Then I added yet another star for the TV showing Fox and all the republican Trump love, and then I added another because for some reason Mr. X liked his donuts a lot, and he never likes anything. So kudos to you for getting a 4 star review out of me for what I felt was a disappointing experience. Congratulations! You might be helping to make America great, but you should focus first on fixing your stale donuts and have more varieties available 24 hours like the real donut shop you should be. Having absolutely no filled donuts on our visit was unacceptable. I'll comeback, but just because Mr. X likes to eat donuts while he watches Tucker Carlson. read more

I have been to quite a few donut shops across the US. Many have disappointed me in quality, presentation, taste, and atmosphere. Although this place doesn't come in first place on my donut list, it is a very close second and that is impressive. The dough is more on a bread side rather then a doughnut side, yet is good in its own way. The selection is very good except they didn't have my favorite, the maple bar. The flavor is outstanding and on the sweet side which doughnuts should be. This definitely a favorite place for doughnuts on the east coast. If I find myself in the area again I definitely will stop here again. read more
