I can't say enough good things about Mike's. The staff is so lovely and helpful. The customers are a hoot and will tell you exactly what you should get. I'd say I'm an apple fritter a girl. I love the apple and cinnamon flavor but I don't love the grease or the icing. An apple Persian from Mike's is exactly what you're looking for. Beware, if you order a dozen, you might just eat them all. read more

I showed up Saturday morning looking forward to donuts. Unfortunately this place was closed when I arrived. I was there an hour after opening time. Lights off and doors locked no one in sight. Disappointed read more

Great Donuts, great atmosphere, and great service. Highly recommended for a traditional donut shop!

By far the best donut I have ever had and believe me I have been traveling all over the place. I heard Mike sold the business but the last time I was there, the donut still taste amazing. Please try to open weekend because sometimes I can only visit my family in the weekend and everytime I want Mike's donut. read more

5 stars for "old fashioned" cake donuts. A woman owned local establishment. Was passing through on a trip and greatly enjoyed the visit.

They make the best donuts!!! I was so happy when they changed to be open on Saturday's

Great donuts and great service with very nice people that work at the counter. The place is always filled with people that enjoy eating their treats there. read more

Got lucky right before closing (noon), and came away with some real nice treats. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I did enjoy the cinnamon roll with lunch. Needless to say, the other offerings were devoured by my aborigines upon arrival back home. Friendly and helpful lady helped us at the counter, and did not rush us at all for her to close shop. Very fresh and decently priced for the quality... read more

Donuts were okay, nothing to really rave about. The cake donut was dry; my crullers frosting was transparent (you could see through the chocolate frosting). Seemed a little greasy too. Service was great the counter help were cheerful and responsive. Location was a little confusing; the gas station threw me off. read more

I was visiting from CA taking care of my friends three daughters. It was a bit of a drive from where we live but the reviews made it too good to pass up. We got there around 8 o'clock and I didn't have any hopes of having an apple fritter since I read you had to get there really early in the morning. However they did have some and they were delicious. The donuts were delicious and still warm. One of the girls got the last donut with sprinkles and her sister was so sad because that was the one she wanted. The lady who helped us was the friendliest person and offered to make one just for her. What great customer service. I noticed they had a group of regulars sitting at the counter. Even they were super friendly to us. If I lived in Spokane I would make sure to go to Mike's Old Fashioned donuts as my go to donut shop. It was definitely well worth the drive. Thank you for taking such good care of us. read more

Great staff and great donuts. Very old school vibe. There are patrons who have been getting donuts what seems like for years and they know customers by name. read more

Mike's Old Fashioned are great donuts. Very good selection. I recently began coming here and have liked it every time. The first time I came, it was close to closing and they gave me 2 for 1. That scored some big points. I have come a couple more times after that and always enjoyed the donuts. One thing to note: certain donuts come out at certain times. I forgot to take a picture of the schedule, otherwise I would add it as a photo. The next time I go I will get a picture and add it. From what I remember, bars and cake donuts are in the morning, Persians around 8:45, and other donuts following. Persians I remember because that is what I wanted but I was too early. Grr. But I will be coming back! NOTE: they had a specialty donut one of the times that I was there. Called a French Kruller. If they have this donut when you are there... please do yourself a favor and get one! read more

Mike's Old Fashioned Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Spokane Valley, Washington

The simplicity of this place is what brings me back. I am all about supporting small businesses, and a sucker for a good donut. The outside is a little deceiving because when you drive by here on Sprague, it just says Donuts above, and it's attached to a gas station, so it makes it look like this is just a gas station that has donuts available inside. But this is it's own separate store with an amazing production going on inside. Every time I've been here, 3 or more people are constantly cranking out fresh batches of donuts to keep the case stocked. And they go quickly, so come in the morning! The donuts are priced pretty well too, around $1 per donut. And there's nothing frozen or artificial about it. These donuts are great! I highly recommend picking up a half dozen or two to share with the office without breaking the bank. The blueberry or the red velvet donuts are my faves. read more

We stopped here on Friday, and picked up a couple of donuts, they were out of fritters when we got there. The star donut is they maple bacon bar, it's massive, and the flavors hit all the right notes. We also got a glazed donut, and 2 crullers, one with chocolate, and one glazed, but we haven't tried them yet. I called and spoke with someone from the Spokane Valley store, and she gave some good advice, if you fritters, as they are one of the most popular, stop in and place an order for the next day, so we did so. We went in and ordered 3 apple fritters, 2 cherry, and 1 blueberry. Today 8/16, we picked them up. We just tried an apple fritter, it was good, definitely a 3.5/5. Still feel like the maple bacon is better, but nonetheless, the donuts are huge, and its hard to go wrong with any donut, unless its super dry, this is a solid donut shop here in Spokane. read more

For donuts, this is THE place to go in the bakery. They roll out different donuts through the morning, staggering them as they are freshly made. Great value and very tasty, though the coffee may need some work. read more

I've had to try a lot of Apple Fritters in my life because my dad is a basically an apple fritter connoisseur. After heading great things about Mike's donuts, we finally decided to try it out and were not disappointed! I knew beforehand that the fritters go quick, so I showed up when they opened at 6AM. Unfortunately they didn't have any made yet, and only had a small selection of donuts around this time. The staff politely told me about the various times donuts are made (posted a picture of the times to Yelp) and told me that Apple Fritters are made around 8AM. Once I came back at 8AM, the case was filled with different donuts and a fresh tray of the Fritters. If you decide to try this place out, I suggest going around 8AM to get a wide range of different donuts! The donuts were fresh and delicious, and my dad and I both agreed that these Apple Fritters were the best we ever had. You know others think so too because there's a limit of 6 per customer. read more

There is no better donut spot than this. They are super unique and are super delicious!!! Any time I take these to work , they are gone in a matter of minutes. The ladies there are super friendly and are very welcoming. Just stop by and give them a try! read more

Wow! That's about all I can say. I have driven by many times and I just thought the donuts sign meant the Hico station sold donuts. I didn't realize it was an awesome donut shop until I did some searching. Fresh, awesome donuts is what you will find here. All unique and not just the same donut layered in different toppings. There are specials each day. Some are only made a few times a month. Donuts are not greasy, nor are they sickly sweet. Service is awesome. They asked if I was going to get any maple bars so they knew what size box to use. They don't stack donuts here. You won't find all the different varieties in the case at once since they are made fresh. There is a schedule of when they are made. I need to come back when the apple fritters are being made as I hear they are fantastic. There were plenty of regulars in the store at 6:30. Many seemed to know Mike personally. Prices are very reasonable as well. I think I paid $15 for a 20oz coffee and 13 donuts. (Yea. I had to get an extra donut for myself) Truly awesome. I have finally found the perfect spot for my occasional donut fix. Just wish I had found it sooner! read more

We came in to try the apple fritters. They were going into the fryer so we waited and split a peanut butter frosting topped vanilla donut. It was so perfectly crispy and tasty. I thought we were in heaven and then the fritter came out. The sweet lady at the counter brought the hot fritters to our table. Wow. They were amazing. Crispy, sweet, tasty, and hot! read more

Friendly staff, fresh donuts, and an inviting atmosphere. What a great experience! We decided to go here because of the high reviews. The reviews did not disappoint. The daily specials they had were great. The Persian (a cinnamon roll donut) was nice, light and full of flavor. The best part was getting to watch the staff interacting with people and making donuts. They were constantly making donuts to order for people. If there isn't something in the display case, ask if you can get a fresh filled or frosted donut. If you have an opportunity, get a fresh apple fritter. It was a little piece of heaven. read more

The locals are going to kill me and I'm sure so are the owners... But I wasn't all that impressed. Granted, I came after 6:30am which apparently means only unwanted donuts are left. The mapels I got were good but nothing worth the time I waited in line or the 15min drive there. The service is just as the walls warn with their tacky service (or lack thereof) signs. If you get there early enough, perhaps they have some really tasty treats. I'll never know. read more

Amazing. The best donuts I've had in spokane by far! And the friendliest staff. I even got to talk to Mike himself! My favorites were the apple crumble donut and the glazed old fashioned. Will be back for more! read more

I honestly love Mike's Old Fashioned Donuts! The apple fritters are the best I have had, and usually are still warm. Sweet on the outside and cinnamon and real apples throughout. The maple bars are another must for me. It's not a frilly shop, and feels like the real deal when it comes to the old school donut vibe. We have a lot of experience when it comes to donuts, being from Los Angeles originally- these remind me of back home. And the slightly secret spot where they are located makes it feel super legit. Check them out, but go early! They close at noon, and by 10 am the apple fritters are usually gone! read more

The best donut you'll ever eat! Mike has been making donuts for over 30 years and he hasn't changed the recipe. His donuts taste like the ones I used to eat growing up as a kid. I promise you'll never go to another donut shop again! read more

BEST donuts in town. Casual Friday used to be my favorite donut place, until I found Mike's! The ladies working were very friendly as well. I will definitely be back! read more

Got a fresh apple fritter non stop fryer to mouth. It just doesn't get much better. This is the only apple fritter I have ever had that is not heavy as a brick. No wonder they have to ration the fritters read more

Wow, a good old fashioned doughnut shop. The owner (Mike) and who I assume to be his wife run this great little shop. The service is the point here, Mike making great doughnuts and serving customers read more

I try to bring donuts in to the office when I visit our Spokane office. I wasn't thrilled with the choice of the last donut shop I went to the last time I was in Spokane, so I decided on Mike's this time. I'm glad I did, the donuts are so much better, so is the selection. Though apple fritters were not out yet, I'm guessing they're pretty good, since they have a schedule posted on when certain donuts are ready, and people were in line 30 minutes before they were ready. And there is a sign posted that you can only order 6 apple fritters at a time, unless you special order. I wished they weren't ready so late in the morning. However, if the donuts I got are any indication how good the apple fritters are...maybe I'll wait until 8am to get an apple fritter the next time I'm in Spokane. This is obviously a popular and well like donut joint! Save me an apple fritter! read more

Omg... Don't think about going anywhere else. These donuts are THE BEST DANG DONUTS IN THE PACIFIC NW!!! I haven't had a donut that enjoyable since my childhood. So much love goes into each and every one of these beautiful doughy creations. Thank you for doing what you do. We will be back!!! read more

This place is the best. Their donuts taste fantastic all the time. They don't have to load them up with Oreos or m&ms because they taste so good in their own. The other donut stores put so much cereal and other gunk on top and they ate nauseatingly sweet. Mikes are just regular donuts that taste great read more

Great prices, great tasting donuts and that nostalgic cafe feel. I'm not really a fan of maple bars, but this shop makes the best. I love their cake donuts too. They have sprinkle cake donuts in different colors which I'm a fan of. They even did Seahawks colored ones. read more
