I don't think I had ever had a cronut before. I've always heard about them. I'm not a huge croissant fan, and I'm very particular about my donuts, but I will say I was impressed by these The menu is mostly just a variety of cronuts, coffee, and beer. You can even do a beer & donut flight. There are nearly a dozen varieties of cronuts on display. You can buy one or multiple. We opted for a box of 4. We tried the Wicked Creamy, the strawberry Shortcake, the Maple, Eh, and the churrito. They had utensils that we could easily split the Cronuts up so we could all get a taste, and everything was delicious The staff were very friendly and helpful. All our questions were answered, and our order was prepared quickly and with care. We were told that the Strawberry Shortcake was their best seller, and it wasn't even on our radar, but I will say it was a great recommendation as it was my favorite of the ones I tried The spot is a fun vibe with bright colors, plenty of natural light, art and murals, a couch and gaming system. It's actually pretty spacious for a donut shop, but it would be a great place to eat donuts, grab a beer, and hang There Some tips: Downtown Mesa is a lot of fun. There's an antique shop/pinball arcade around the corner. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, a beer garden, a distillery, and other boutique options. The AZ distillery has great cocktails, and the Salted Knot is definitely worth a stop. Parking is limited, but you can find street parking (free), and paid parking lots/garages Join their InKind rewards to get discounts and free stuffs. I just opened their website and it has a notification that says "Get $10 towards your next $30+visit" Cheers!!

Quirky, delicious, and, elevated is the three best words to describe this donut shop. When you step in, the counter is right there. Showcasing their donuts in all their glory. At least 18 choices! But it doesn't stop there. They offer breakfast sandwiches too, including avocado toast. Coffee drinks and bar drinks available too. Once you decided on a donut, breakfast sandwich or one of each, the seating area is plentiful. Including a little living room with plush pink couches AND video games for your enjoyment. I ordered the Bandito breakfast sandwich. A flaky bun, egg, hash brown, chorizo patty, green peppers, cheese, and, crema. It has no business being that delicious!! 10/10 would order again. If you want simple, The Standard is for you. Flaky bun, bacon or ham, egg, hash brown, and, cheese. Basic but delicious. Service was great! Very hospitable. Nice young man with a sense of humor. Felt welcomed. But before we could we leave, we had to get a donut. I tried the Happy Camper. A s'more donut! Another banger if I say so myself!

Outcast sells what they call layered donuts which seems to be their version of the cronut. The base is a croissant donut with various toppings you can choose. (They have about fifteen flavors to pick from.) The donuts are not cheap but seem to be about the same price as a pastry might cost you - just more expensive than traditional donuts. I liked the Happy Camper (chocolate frosted, graham sprinkles, toasted marshmallow and Hershey bar) but would have liked a little more graham flavor. The It's Wicked Creamy (their take on Boston Cream) was good too. The All Hail Churrito was simple, but a basic cinnamon sugar delight. The Maple, Eh? was too cloyingly sweet for me. The guy who helped us both times is very friendly and helpful. I may come back on a rare occasion but the higher price point here also might keep me away.

Well, I didn't realize this was a CRONUT shop, and honestly I don't know if this a good new realization, because they're even better than I imagined, but I may be getting them way more often than I need to. The staff was so sweet and helpful and they were extra sweet to my pup whom they gave some whipped cream too. So cool there's a full bar here too and a super cute patio right in the heart of downtown Mesa. Everything I had was delicious: chai tea latte, churrito?, and the monkey one (Nutella/banana). The crunchy outside and buttery flaky middle makes these insanely delicious. I highly recommend!

Tried this place a few weeks back when I was in the area and wow I don't typically like donuts and these were amazing. The shop was a cool little place with a cute lounge area to hangout and watch tv and place game. The offered donuts and breakfast sandwiches which had me very tempted but had to stick with donuts! I got a 4 count of sprinkles, s'mores, beignet, and fruit pebbles! The donuts are more of cronuts which are my absolute favorite and so so good. The bread is so moist and crisp on the outside. I will say you cannot leave these donuts to eat for later or the next day. They are donuts you do need to eat sooner than later! All around though very good and unique!! The guy working there really loved what we was doing and was very friendly and happy to help us out!

Bar area, lounge with a Nintendo Switch set up (Mario Kart with several pro controllers)

To start, majority of their donuts are actually croissant donuts, cro-nuts, which actually has some really great taste and texture. We got lucky with parking and got up front and were greeted with a delightful lineup of cro-nuts. The guy at the counter was extremely friendly and patient while we stared at the menu. After ordering, it felt like the drinks and sandwiches came really fast. Eating cro-nuts is definitely not the cleanest activity (or eating any specialty donut for that matter) so either bring hand sanitizer or hopefully the bathroom is available to wash your hands right before. Cool thing about this place, they do have a lounge area with a whole Nintendo switch set up, and they actually have pro controllers available so you're not stuck with the tiny switch remote. For the food, it's a bit pricey. Feels like you're paying more for the lounge and hang out. The sandwich we had as well, we asked if the kitchen could cut it in half. They were not able to, but the guy who took our order quickly provided us with a knife and fork to cut it ourselves. Great service, great place to hang out, would recommend if you like cro-nuts, though it's a tad bit pricey.

The perfect place if you're craving something sweet! Got a cappuccino to balance the sweetness. They're basically fancy croissants! It is street parking, but we didn't have a problem on a Saturday afternoon. They also had video games so it is a good place to hangout. There was a red head who helped us, she had the best customer service, didn't get her name. Had the most welcoming attitude.

I went to Outcast on Sunday and got a Cheeky monkey (Nutella and banana) and a Boston cream (I don't remember their name for it) both donuts were excellent. I also got a campfire but I didn't eat it yet (froze it for later). Their donuts are cronuts (croissant donuts). Around $4 a donut but a little cheaper if you buy buy 4 at a time ( you will want 4)! They have many choices and all are great. This was my second trip to Outcast. The staff was very attentive (to be fair I was the only one in line) but they were very friendly and helpful. The shop is very colorful and energetic.

First off, this is not your regular donut shop, this is a cronut which for my family and I enjoyed very much, we have had cronuts before and weren't a fan of as it's dry. They did an amazing job making them fun and delicious! Super friendly staff, very helpful and patient with us as we were all over the menu trying not to order everything. Definitely get breakfast sandwich to go with a cronut to enjoy as dessert and definitely get a latte to enjoy it with, their coffee is really good, you can taste the espresso and not just syrup and milk. Definitely will be our to go special treat!

Hands down the best donuts in the valley. I've tried all the big names out there, and I don't think anyone comes close. Highly recommend!
Victoria L.

Hands Down, the BEST Donut Spot in the Valley! I don't say this lightly--this donut shop absolutely crushes the competition. Whether you're into the classics or the crazy, over-the-top creations, they've got it all dialed in. If you're in the Valley and not stopping here, you're seriously missing out. 10/10. Would eat again (and again... and again).

Outcast doughnuts is such a fun place to spend time, whether it's with the family, or some girl friends. We had a great time picking out of all of the awesome doughnut options and loved all of them! The mimosa flight and mini doughnuts were fabulous and I can't get over how great the coffee was! Chelsea was so helpful and I've been back twice since! Check out my photos, everything is DELICIOUS! Can't wait to go back to try the rest of the breakfast sandwiches!

Great atmosphere. Cool vibes and out of this world donuts can't miss with the mimosa donut flight

Our half dozen doughnut selection.
Garrett L.

Doughnuts are definitely a difference here - more abnormal variety with ability to challenge your taste buds in a good way . Brother and i came late in the day and doughnuts definitely have been sitting - tasted fine but not as fresh ? The half dozen is 8 doughbuts for them so just fyi . Very friendly staff, and patient .came here to check it out after we ordered some Gus' Chicken down the street . Laid back atmosphere and they seemed to have lot to offer but we only did doughnuts .

Ask the Community - Outcast Doughnuts

Are the "doughnuts" used as bread for the bfast or lunch sandwiches sweet? I'm trying to understand how a Reuben works on a doughnut etc.?

It's a croissant based donut...I didn't find the actual donut sweet and just the glaze and filling which to me made it balanced. I haven't tried the sandwiches yet but they sound amazing.

I didn't care to listen to the music while I was eating. Ordered fried cod fish special and chicken fried steak dinner (since they don't do breakfast). Fried fish was nice and crispy. Came with coleslaw which I thought was pretty good and fries were nothing special just crinkled fries. My chicken fried steak was decent size, nice and crispy. The mash potato and gravy was OK. Gravy could have used more seasoning, I don't ever put salt on my food but I was tempted. But mixed with fried steak balanced it out little bit. I also opted for soup of the day which was Albondiga. Soup was not quite Albondiga but it wasn't too bad. Over the atmosphere was nice minus random people singing. Food was for me just ok, lacked in flavor. I would give this place 3 and half but definitely not 4 worthy for me. I probably won't come here again.

We love Welcome Diner, and have been here many times. It is definitely not fancy, but it is exactly…read morewhat it should be. It feels very hipster and very retro and it just has so much personality. There is a lot of outdoor seating in what is essentially a front yard. There are tables and string lights and lots of trees and there are even a couple of playground horses. When you walk in there is a hostess desk kind of pieced together with different pieces of furniture and above it is a turning disco ball. Could there be anything better? There are booths all the way around, and there are no tables - - but you can sit at the long counter and watch your food being made. That really is the best place to sit because it is so interesting to watch them. It's amazing to me that they can keep all those balls in the air and still make all this food so delicious. There is a small bar off to one side. Make sure you go to the bathroom. The bathroom is nothing special, just a room full of graffiti and stickers, but if you look up you'll see the ceiling covered with little pinatas and a little donkey in the hallway. The menu is just what you would think for a diner menu. You can order breakfast or some sandwiches, burgers, Mac and cheese, and there is a selection of dinner entrees. Sitting at the counter we saw a plate with a steak being prepared and it looked absolutely fantastic. We were not really very hungry, and just wanted a quick small bite. Have you got that Welcome Burger, and I got the Sasha. Hubby said his Burger was good, although it was quite small. The Sasha has smoked pork and they put the pork on the grill and it becomes a crispy kind of Patty of shredded pork, then they put the crispy shredded pork patty on a noble bun with coleslaw and a fantastic horseradish sauce. My sandwich was a 10 out of 10 for sure! I kind of feel like in Phoenix there are some areas that you can go to or not, but welcome diner is a place that everybody should go to at least once. I really want to go back for breakfast which is kind of shocking because I'm not a breakfast person.

I have never felt as unwelcome at a restaurant as I did during our visit to Welcome Diner…read more I arrived with three friends and two dogs, encouraged by the dog-friendly patio. Before we could sit down, a waitress abruptly warned us that rain was expected in three minutes, that the dining room had no available seating, and that pets were not allowed inside. We decided to take our chances, retrieved our own menus, and sat outside. More than 10 minutes passed without anyone acknowledging us, despite staff serving other customers. My friend even tapped on the ordering window and was ignored. When the same waitress finally returned, I asked for a Bloody Mary, and she appeared noticeably disappointed that we had decided to stay. Her response was an incredulous, "You're staying???" We explained that we were willing to take our chances with the weather, at which point she informed me that they were out of Bloody Mary mix. I then requested waters. Another 10 minutes passed before she dropped off the waters without taking our order. After another 10 minutes without service, we left, having spent approximately 30 minutes feeling ignored and unwelcome. We found a much better experience across the street, where we enjoyed attentive service, delicious food, and a welcoming dog-friendly patio. I understand that weather, seating limitations, and restaurant policies may be beyond a server's control. How guests are treated is not. For a restaurant called Welcome Diner, the irony was especially disappointing.

Thanked me for being agreeable or something. I nodded. I remember this saying if you l oh someone's attention the first three seconds and first three steps you'll spend the next 30 min trying to make them believe you're hiring. It's true. I was too tired this week to be extremely understanding but I'm never rude. I told my hubby let's both let this one go. And I said "But we won't return here." He nodded in agreement. Because I see people come in and sit down I see how tired they are and make quick calls to be able to turn their day around if only for a short time before they return home....to being a caregiver or to grieve a loss. Sad dinner and maybe she had a tough week too. But. But times 3 over.
