    Very disappointed was looking for a healthier choice at the farmers market I got home the box was full of grease. Sorry guys won't be back.

    Vanilla donut
    Min K.

    This is one of those places I really, really wanted to love and become a regular. My first try from Pandemic donuts was a Vanilla donut. Pretty standard, can't go wrong...or so I thought. Well made dough but the donut was just soaked with grease. I had it in a paper bag that was just destroyed with oil after a few minutes. You could not really taste the vanilla as the oil was so overwhelming. It left a brick of regret in my stomach for the next few hours. Thinking it was a one-off, I went back and purchased a blueberry donut. The same brick of regret. I am not sure if they do not drain them properly or if their dough recipe just causes them to absorb more oil but this place is a hard no for me. Second star because they are super friendly.

    Maybe I am a junk food junkie but I thought Pandemic Donuts were pretty mediocre. The flavors were nascent and fleeting. Let's put it this way the flavors could be described as " Tepid". Don't get me wrong the texture of their donuts is fantastic and that is an important part of the equation. One of my children is an amazing baker (actually worked for Thomas Keller) and think Pandemic Donuts are great. So I guess it all depends whatca lookin for in your fried dough....me I'm not sold

    Had the pleasure of trying these amazing goodies at the City Park Farmers market! They had such a long line, but I figured if everyone is waiting they must be worth it. YES, yup, absolutely worth the wait!! So yummy!! my girlfriend and i shared the Chai donut and a glazed. So yummy!!

    Pandemic Donuts is permanently residing inside Queen City Coffee inside their Five Points Coffee shop. What a nice surprise! I was too happy to discover this that n the donut never made it home! Their donuts are still yummy! So coffee & donuts are ideal partners! Love it! We decided to walk over to purchase some fantastic coffee beans and discovered such a good thing to share with everybody! Btw-have you tried their Turmeric Latte? Get this!

    BEST DONUTS IN DENVER. Why? They are the perfect texture: Airy, light, elastic, chewy, with a hint of crisp. A multitude of flavors and a bounty of vegan options. Move over, Voodoo time to play catch up. Pandemic Donuts are phenomenal.

    Strawberry, lemon raspberry, chocolate peanut butter, and sugar. Yum!

    Heard about these toward the start of the pandemic... two folks who started the business because they both lost their other jobs. Great inspirational story! And the donuts are pretty delicious too! I ordered right at the beginning, and once this past summer, and they've definitely improved upon their product over the last year. Donuts were very small (could eat in a couple bites) to start with, and now they're uniform looking & more standard donut size. The flavors are creative, and the look is very cool.

    Chocolate glaze, browned butter glaze, cinnamon glaze, blueberry cheesecake, strawberry sprinkle, coconut lime.

    Yum!! You can either pre-order these donuts for (free) delivery or go to Queen City Collective Coffee to pick them up. Flavors change each day so check their website for that (You can't go wrong with any flavor though). I ordered a dozen for delivery to my work and they were a huge hit! Arrived at around 9:45 on a Friday at our downtown office. The favorites were blueberry cheesecake, cinnamon glaze and strawberry sprinkle.

    Ok I'm going to be honest; I used to be a raised donut only kind of gal and really was not a fan of cake donuts AT ALL...and you will notice the key word in that sentence is used to be. That was until I tried Pandemic Donuts! I had been seeing these beautiful mixed boxes of donuts all over Instagram and knew I definitely would have to try some. I guess I wasn't paying THAT close of attention though because I didn't know the 1/2 dozen consisted of 3 raised and 3 cakes. Thankfully in this instance, my inability to have attention to detail actually worked in my favor because it has led me to discover: I really like cake donuts. Or perhaps I really just like Pandemic Donuts' cake donuts. Either way this was a pleasant and welcome surprise. The most exciting but; while they still are doing donut delivery (who doesn't love fresh, delicious donuts delivered directly to your door) they also have a brick and mortar so now you can get their donuts WHENEVER YOU WANT! Hallelujah! The only downfall is this if fairly close to me so every day I wake up and have to convince myself *not* to get more donuts! Also their flavors are so unique and creative. I believe this box was blueberry lavender, key lime pie, white chocolate raspberry, honey glaze, maple nut, and chocolate sprinkle. I mean blueberry lavender and key lime pie. Come on...So good! Pop in to their shop and try one yourself or order yourself a 1/2 dozen or dozen to magically show up at your door!!! (It's not magic, make sure to tip your driver lol) but either way; just try them. You deserve it!

    Honestly it's hard to come by a good gluten free baked good, let alone fried good. These gluten free are dank asf. Would recommend. Also free delivery?! Yes plz.

    Pandemic donuts

    Wow! These donuts are delicious! Perfect old-fashioned donut texture and moisture. Very creative flavors and beautifully presented. The folks here are awesome too.

    Blueberry and pineapple brown sugar donut
    Jennifer G.

    We had these for the first time at the City Park farmer's market and loved them! They have the best fried texture but aren't at all greasy. I really appreciated that the donut hole is included. I know it's not a huge addition but I'll take all of the sugar and fried bread I can get :) We got the blueberry and pineapple brown sugar. We loved both but especially enjoyed the pineapple because we've never had anything like it. If you ever find yourself at the farmer's market be sure to stop by their booth! The perfect way to enjoy a Saturday morning.

    Good, though the flavors (strawberry cake & mango coconut yeast donuts) were heavy -- very jammy (which may be your, ahem, jam).

My Texas friends have been raving about The Salty for ages. Unfortunately never tried it with them but now we have one here in Denver. Score. They have a handful of standard staples and then they do donuts for holidays, special events, the Super Bowl for instance. That being said this isn't a donut you grab and eat later that day or even the next morning. FRESH. Please eat these within twelve hours. Really just speaks to their quality but it's not a break room donut that hangs around for a day or two and the chemicals nuclear apocalypse preserve them like a Twinkie. Hot and cold drinks are available. Water. Juice boxes for the kids. Beloved Coke a cola. Standard cold brew, cortado, americano, lattes, and matcha. But they also do special seasonal drinks and drinks that pair exceptionally well with their donuts. Inside you have a handful of seats but for this area of Tennyson/Berkley it's more of a grab and go. You have the nearby park and obviously all the shops up and down the street. Plus what cute cups and boxes for donuts. It's a statement piece for sure. What a cute little donut logo. I somehow feel that the Call Your Mother bagel and Salty Donut are cousins at best. Seriously, check their fun logos! You can order to go online via their app/website/ or the wonderful InKind app. They even have a to go window so you can stay outside with your furry friend and get your caffeine and sugar fix to go. Staff is quick and friendly. Lines can take a bit on the weekends but during the weekday it's a quick in and out. They open early too so anytime before nine you can pretty much order and go. Welcome addition to the neighborhood. Will certainly seek them out on trips to other cities. Love their vibe and look. Very curious to see all the other stores and get their individual flavor or neighborhood vibe.

This gave off cumbl cookie vibes... don't get me wrong, it was clean and pretty, just not what I was expecting. The service was subpar at best. There was no one in here, so when we walked in, it seemed like an inconvenience to serve us. We wanted to looked at their rotating doughnuts to make a choice about a second doughnut but felt very rushed by the man behind the counter. We got the voodoo doughnut and dirt. The voodoo arms were a bit fried out but the icing and raspberry insides were very good! My boyfriend said his doughnut was pretty average. Overall this was a pretty average experience and I really wish they would have a less Barbie vibe and more dark mysterious vibe!

The side salad was a standout -- spinach, small orange slices, and a berry vinaigrette. Super fresh, light, and refreshing. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and said it had great flavor with a nice kick of spice. Vegetarian options were clearly labeled, with a note to ask about vegan swaps. The service, unfortunately, didn't match the food. We waited at the door for at least 10 minutes without being acknowledged. After we were seated, our server started taking our order but stopped midway to run someone else's food. We also never got water refills, and with just one napkin each for donuts and a full meal, I found myself folding and refolding mine a million different ways. Overall, service felt slow and a bit disjointed, like we weren't a priority. If the service improved, this would easily be a go-to brunch spot.
