My kids and I have weekly donut dates (it's our one treat in the week and they choose where). Retro is the place they choose the most. The ease of drive through is a plus for me; and I always have a pleasant experience with the team there, they're all kind, efficient and friendly. Donuts are bigger than what you would get elsewhere (trust me, we've been almost everywhere at this point in the North and Central Spokane area). Retro has great quality, they're not overly greasy, they're generous in portion and the taste can't be beat. We usually order the maple bar, Boston cream and some variation of rings with sprinkles. BUT I will say my absolute favorite there is the strawberry. I like the consistency, I like the options; truly, no complaints. Thanks Retro, we're glad to have you in North Spokane! read more

The standard by which we judge all other donuts, nationwide!! We love Retro Donuts! They always come out as the top contender when we travel and compare other donut shops to what is the best. read more

Donuts are good. Coffee is eh. And the Gigi they are so proud of is one of the worst things Ive ever put in my mouth. Tastes like salt and mold. Really gross. We bought 4 and they all went in the trash. Took quite a while and other foods to get the horrible taste out of our mouths. Maybe it isn't always moldy cuz I see some good reviews. But wow. Sooooo bad! Called to let them know. Assuming it was just a bad batch. They said "ok thank you!" Nothing about I'm sorry or I'll replace those items. No concern at all. Ugh! read more

Simply the best donuts in the region, hands down, bet you can't munch just 3, better get a baker's dozen, John the donut maker knows his way around a donut, a generous offering of a delicious variety, served with a gracious smile, drive-up or come on into clean neat and nostalgic, to select a few morsels and take a seat with a nice hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate, your donut dreams come true. read more

We have really enjoyed these donuts. They are well made and definitely hit the spot. Over the last year I've picked up 2-3 dozen once a month for a meeting at work. I went today to pick up two dozen and the price had gone up significantly. When I went in December I got two dozen donuts and the price before tip was $57.60. Today when I went the total before tip was $71. The price of two dozen donuts had increased by over $13 in one month. I questioned the price and was told the owners raised the prices. On top of that they gave me donuts I had requested not to have. Look, I get it - inflation is hitting everyone, but $71 for two dozen donuts is bonkers. I absolutely cannot justify that. I am sad to say we will no longer be getting our donuts from here. There are other places in town that did not raise their prices, like donut parade, that are just as delicious. Maybe they should consider saving money by making their donuts a little smaller instead of hiking up the prices. I'm sure they think that's the appeal of their donuts, but honestly most people don't even finish a donut that size and would probably be okay getting a smaller donut for cheaper. read more

Holy crap this place is so good!!! This is a family favorite and so every time we're in Spokane our family goes! The donuts are phenomenal and I wish I could've tried more!! Their dough is so light and fluffy and the flavor choices are so cool!! I loved the maple coconut crunch and sugar! We also got the fresh pressed apple juice and it was amazing!! The girls at the counter were so sweet and I appreciated their patience while all my siblings order! It's just such a cute wholesome place, glad there are still cute businesses around!!! read more

Retro Donuts - Zebra bar, raspberry jelly donut, Marion berry fritter, sugar donut, chocolate sprinkles, pink sprinkles, etc - Donuts Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Donuts are best in Spokane in my opinion. The dough is fluffy and soft. They don't taste like old oil like some places. The donuts taste fresh and they have unique flavors. The donuts are very large but on pricey side so could even out. read more

Great donuts. Nice service and nice display. Forget the big chains and find these smaller and better quality shops!

Got up early morning to get family doughnuts cause I have some kids and grandkids that love them and I anted to surprise them before they got up. The jury concluded that these air cakes as the kid-cridicts call them were just sub par. I felt they are a more higher priced doughnut establishment in the Spokane area. read more

Great donuts just call and make sure they are open before driving all the way there. They have store hours but will often close when ever.

Best donuts in Spokane. Just go. You will not be disappointed. And the staff are a joy to work with.

Superb donuts. You buy a bakers dozen here when you want to impress or bless the recipients. $45 by the time I ordered 12.

Rude.Rude.Rude. Don't go in at 12:20 EXPECTING THEM TO BE OPEN until 1:00 as advertised.....need to work on customer service. The world is crappy enough - be nice or get out of working with the public. read more

Good, large, and on the higher side about costs. Good value? They are larger but cost more also, so it's a personal call. People are friendly. read more

No complaints here. Donuts were good. Staff was nice. Little man was pleased. Can't say anything bad. read more

Retro Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Do I have visited now both during Covid-19 and before... I absolutely love the owner who has been there every time I have gone. He is so nice and obviously cares about the quality of his donuts. I have ordered a dozen getting the 13th free 2 times... So many choices... but all top quality.... During Covid-19 we went through the drive thru... They had pictures of the donuts available... still so many choices... We also tried the cold brew coffee was amazing... They use coffee ice cubes to make sure you don't get a water downed iced coffee. The only reason I didn't give them a five stars is because the price is on the higher side... I want to give them 5 stars but $20+ for a bakers dozen is alot... However Yes I will keep coming back. read more

The star of this lovely gem of a shop is their huckleberry halos and cake donuts. Everything was tasty and the customer service was amazing. They had run out of halos and went out of their way to make us one. It is cute and friendly and hits the spot for a solid donut. read more

I was considering not posting this however my customer convinced me this more info to do so. Earlier today I was here to pick up a gift delivery for door dash. Now normally all the stores I've been to use the gift recipients name for the order not the senders when we are picking up deliveries as to not spoil any potential surprises and to keep things anonymous. I went into the store as soon as I got the notification on the app that my order was ready, went up to the front counter and gave them the receivers name for the order. The older larger Gentleman who I assume is an owner or manger proceeded to chew me out because they didn't have the order ready (he felt the need to repeat this 3 times as if I was a child or some peasant unworthy of his time. While he's making a jerk of himself, I hear another gal who was manning the other side of the counter say she has a door dash order ready under the senders name. The guy tried to tell me it wasn't my order (it was not a common first name last initial, instead of thinking Alex jones, think Wanda Martinez ). I took the order anyways and left. My customer messaged me as soon as I got in my car (the sender) asking why their gift had taken over an hour to be delivered, I told him I didn't know for sure but mentioned that one of the people at the restaurant had put their name on the box instead of the recipient's and that may be why the order had been delayed. my customer told me that 3 drivers before me had driven to the restaurant and then canceled the pick up. This is by far the worst experience I've had with a restaurant, behaving this way not only negatively impacts drivers but customers. My hopes for this review is that either the store retrains that employee, if he was a manger he will take some time to reflect on how he approaches delivery drivers in the future, or worst case customers are forewarned that there is a problem with this location in terms of professionalism and choose to avoid it if possible. read more

We got out of school early just to get Retro Donuts. They were CLOSED!!!! Such a disappointment. Please fix your hours.

Amazing bakery items here. Come for a classic donut with all your favorites (old fashion, glazed, maple bar, jelly filled, apple fritter...) or try a new creation (Ono bite, bacon maple bar, donut breakfast sandwich). They have a drive through and sit-down area. During COVID they sometimes ran out of donuts and had to close early to stay afloat, but since then they are getting back to full capacity. The atmosphere is of a retro dinner and the service is great. I even like their coffee from their pour-over station. read more

Went here a few days ago to grab some breakfast donuts for my family & the staff gave me extra donuts and a free water to keep cool from the weather! Wow! How thoughtful. It stuck with me so much that I'm doing this review days after my visit lol. You don't find customer service like that anymore. read more

Been on a donut mission the past few months, maybe you could even call it a hobby? Lol anyway, went out to Retro Donuts this morning, I decided to to carry out and they were not busy at all. Purchased a half dozen and a chocolate milk for a little over $15. The service was quick and efficient. Got home, ate my sprinkley donut and it was so fluffy and tasty! The chocolate milk was good and thick too. They put it in a cup instead of giving you bottled milk which is nice. read more

Yummmy! I really wanted to try this place and I finally did it. Super cute inside and friendly staff members. The menu is very easy to see and I really liked this place. Buy 12 and get one free! Their doughnuts are not too sweet and go well with coffee. My favorite was the one with bacon. Oh my gosh what kind of genius weirdo came up with the idea! Yum! I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

Retro Donuts - Maple bar, apple fritter, glazed - Donuts Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Best Donuts in Spokane!!!! Always fresh, fresh oil used everyday not recycled like most donut shops. The classic glazed donuts are to die for. Simple is best for sure. The cons would be it's a little pricey but you get what you pay for, also because the classic glazed donuts are the best they sell fast. So make sure you go early or just go next day if you can't. They put Krispy Kreme Donuts to shame read more

So delicious! The owner is super friendly and wonderful. I don't make it here very often and when I do, they're mostly sold out (or totally sold out, haha!) so if you come here, make sure it is EARLY. Or order in advance. I would take off stars for that, except that their donuts really are *that* delicious. read more

Their donuts are great, and they pour a nice cup of coffee. The staff are super friendly and helpful, eager to please, and take xtra time with each customer. This is now my favorite donut shop in Spokane! read more

Retro Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I went to Retro donuts yesterday, 12/24/19 at 1030a and they were out of donuts. Their hours say 6a-3p. I got home and wanted to talk to the manger and when I called the owner answered the phone. I let the owner know what had happened and to let him know of my disappointment. He the said to me, "you snooze you lose, I do not care if I lose you as a customer and I do not want to listen to your complaining." He the hung up the phone on me. For an owner to talk to a customer this way is rude and beyond unprofessional. I was shocked at his lack of hospitality and total disregard for my patronage. He has lost a customer and I'm going to tell as many people as I can anout the way I was treated by the owner of Retro Donuts. Good riddance, Disappointed read more

These are my favorite donuts. Big, fluffy, melt in your mouth. Their coffee is the best compliment to their delicious donuts. I go as often as I can. Staff is helpful and nice. read more

Their donuts are huge, but expensive. The icing is decent and tastes homemade, but the dough itself tastes grocery store quality. I would say, overall, a kind of lame donut. read more

Great donut place in North Spokane. There are quite a few choices, I recommend the Tuxedo, a chocolate cake donut with white chocolate frosting and chocolate chips on top. Quite a bit of chocolate for the average person. I have also had one of the berry pies, and a classic glazed. The pie I was not actually a huge fan of, glazed round was good. Owner was there and very nice! I let him know I'll be coming back. This is my top donut place up north. Downtown's got Donut Parade, Valley has Mike's, and now Northside has Retro. read more

I stopped here this morning for the first time to try them out; the store is clean and presents well with lots of items nicely displayed. I had a maple bar; the item was fresh and soft, very big, the maple frosting was sweet but it did not have a strong maple flavor. The maple bar was $1.75 which is way too much. read more

Just discovered this hidden gem of a donut house. Fresh delicious and creative donuts and sweet, savory breakfast sandwiches. read more

Retro Donuts is now open on the north side off Newport Highway behind Franks Diner. They offer fresh, gourmet donuts from 6am-3pm Tuesday-Saturday and 7am-1pm on Sunday. (Closed Monday) They have a drive thru for convenience and those that don't want to do the walk of shame with all their donuts. The girls behind the counter are happy and friendly even after a busy Saturday morning shift. They are especially patient with those of us overwhelmed with the selection who can hardly narrow their choices down to 1 dozen. When you see the maple bacon jalapeño donut, just give it a chance. It's different but the sweet and savory and spicy is a flavor blast you should experience at least once in your life. My favorites were the Boston Creme Pie and Pineapple Fritter. Their real specialty is their "Gigi". It is a savory donut biscuit filled with egg and cheese. Their donuts are dense and very rich so be prepared. Make sure you get there early or they will sell out of the best flavors. Their blue berry cake donut is very popular as well. If you are looking for your typical glazed or chocolate donut, go to Donuts To Go, but if you want something unique and different you won't be disappointed. We got a dozen assorted and a Gigi for about $20. read more

This place has a great selection of fun donut options. I did not step out of my comfort zone and tried their maple bar and it was delicious (it was hard to resist a second one). I did not try their coffee but they do offer it as well. read more

Every time I come here I wince at how much a dozen donuts cost. But then I eat a couple and realize these are the best donuts I've ever had. Great service, great food. Just a little sticker shock at the cost that's all. I keep coming back because they are simply the best. read more

I've been in a couple times now. The first was with my daughter. She had a maple bar and chocolate milk (the milk was cold and fresh tasting). I had a couple coconut cream ono donuts and a black pour-over coffee. So good! Last week I went in with my girlfriend's and we chatted for an hour as we noshed on our donuts. I tried a maple bar with pepper bacon... It was bigger than the basket it was served in! And the coffee was perfect again. My friend tried the raspberry filled and said the filling tasted fresh, she ended up buying a dozen before we left to take home to her family. I'm happy to have a donut place up north, the other one (on Division) often sells out before 9 am. This place is clean with great music and I'll be a regular customer here for sure! read more

Great customer service! There was a mix-up on pickup time for my special order and they DELIVERED them to me at my event! Amazing! A great community partner! And of course everyone loves them-yum! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! If you're anything like me (I'm on a diet, but I have the self control of a monkey). This place is great. I came here once a couple weeks ago to pick up donuts for someone else, so I didn't give it much thought. Then last week at work I drew the short straw and had to pick up donuts on the way to work the next day. I stopped here only because it's on my way to work. I picked up a few donuts and remembered that the job site I'm working at doesn't allow food inside, so I had to find a way to disguise the donuts. I explained my predicament to them and they produced a box that didn't say donuts on it. Yes!! I took my donuts to work with the intention of eating only one. 3 donuts later I figured out how addicting these things are. So much better than anything else I could have brought. The taste was incredible. The texture was amazing. My coworker exclaimed "These are the bomb!". He's much younger than I am. Back to the donuts. I came in today and purchased another dozen and got 6 free. Holy wow!! These donuts were just as good as last week's. Between the great service and the amazing donuts they've earned another customer. Ok, now for the rest. The building is easy to get to with plenty of parking. They have a drive thru, but I wasn't able to use it so I can't say much about it. The pricing is a tiny bit higher than I like for donuts. But then again there's a reason Mercedes cost more than Hyundai. Treat yourself to some donuts. Good donuts and a friendly atmosphere. read more

It was amazing. Great place, friendly people, and amazing donuts. I really liked how cold the milk was. That just made it even better. I had an apple fritter and it was still warm and very fresh. Great texture and plenty of apples. Well worth the drive. Ok, love this place and it is still amazing. In trying to lose weight, I haven't been here in a while but, since it was my birthday, I decided to treat myself. Still this is the best donuts around and their staff is incredibly friendly. Thank you for fantastic donuts read more
