    the interior of a restaurant

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    1/2 dozen donuts

    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.

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

    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).

I enjoy the different options they have when they update the menu but also the inclusion of vegan or gluten-free items.

There was kind of a series of unfortunate events that were pretty avoidable in my view. We arrived at 9:30 in the morning there were two people working and nobody else in the business. We were given menus and sat down and looked at them for a while. Decided that we wanted to start with breakfast sandwiches and coffee and went up and ordered. we were then told that they were out of all of the breakfast sandwiches except for one so it would've been really easy to tell us that when we took our menus rather than waiting for us to decide and then telling us. However, because we have all spent substantial amounts of time working in the service industry, we said whatever and switched and picked out donuts and drip coffees we paid, and then we were told that the drip coffees were going to be about 10 minutes cause they had to brew a new pot now Stella customer service at that point would have been for them to say hey really sorry we're out of drip coffee can I make you an Americano instead cause usually when you're having a doughnut you're not trying to wait for a new pot of coffee to be built oh and we were also visiting with a young toddler so that puts you on their time. So we sat down and waited 10 minutes while they brewed a new coffee and picked up our donuts. When the coffees did come out even though my mom and I ordered ours exactly the same hers was scolding hot and she wasn't able to drink it for a while, but mine was the perfect temperature so not really sure how that happened. A little bit of a Goldilocks situation my brother took a drink of his coffee, and the lid wasn't put on and so he ended up with coffee all over his shirt. He at this point went and said something to the staff about our experience and they ended up giving us a gift card for part of our order which was very nice but avoidable. I was hoping that we would all be like yay the salty was awesome. Let's go there all the time. I don't know that this is gonna be the case at the end of the day. As I said all three of us have spent substantial amounts of time working in the service industry and understand that sometimes things go wrong was unfortunate here it was that the things that did go wrong could've been easily mitigated with some basic customer service.

Known for their irreverent style and neon-pink boxes, the Denver Airport location manages to keep the "Keep Weird" spirit alive. The Flavor Lineup: We dived into a curated selection of their signature yeast and cake doughnuts. Here is the breakdown: * The Voodoo Doll: The iconic signature. Beyond the playful aesthetics, the chocolate frosting is rich, and the raspberry jelly filling provides a sharp, tart contrast that cuts through the sweetness perfectly. * Banana Cream Pie: This was a standout. The filling is smooth without being overly synthetic, mimicking the comfort of a classic diner pie. It's a heavy hitter, so come hungry. * Mango Cream: A refreshing tropical twist. The mango flavor is bright and punchy--a nice departure from the more traditional chocolate-heavy options. * Strawberry Pop-Tart: This is pure nostalgia. The crunch of the crumbled pastry on top adds a fantastic textural element to the soft, pillowy dough. The Experience: The staff handles the high-volume airport rush with impressive speed, and the doughnuts tasted remarkably fresh--not "reheated" or stale, which can be a risk in transit hubs. While the line can look intimidating, it moves quickly, and the pink box is basically the ultimate status symbol at the gate.

    Location: Voodoo Doughnuts Airport Date: July 1st, 2026…read more Service: Take out This month I have the opportunity of stopping at voodoo donuts located on the third floor at the Denver Colorado airport and concourse b. I was in concourse A and to get to concourse b I had to take two trains I think to get to it. My connecting flight was in carquest b anyway so that was convenient for me however I still have to go to the third floor the food court that's where voodoo don't us is located in the corner nearby United Club lounge entrance. I purchased for my mom for a dozen of the classic voodoo donuts they have various options but if you get a dozen it's either the classic or it's the special kind of donuts. And I was able to pick up some merch as well I got a oversized sweatshirt luckily I already wear oversized sweatshirt. They do honor military discounts which was super helpful I totally appreciated that. We ate the donuts and I still have their shirt My favorite color pink now to add to my collection and it's super comfy too super soft. My family and I we love voodoo donuts definitely you should check them out if you are a donut fan. Check out the photos attached to this review.

I'd so buy a jar of it to bring back home next time I'm in Denver if they have it for sale! Our server was so informative about the menu options and gave us recommendations. I was so indecisive with my coffee choice and he helped me narrow it down to a classic cappuccino- blessed!

The variety of toppings makes it fun to mix and match. The Thai Peanut was unique and surprisingly good, but the Mexican Chocolate was the clear favorite at the table. I had the avocado toast. 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.
