Sandy's makes a good first impression with a wall mural outside & casual atmosphere inside. There were plenty of comfortable seating options as well. HOWEVER there is no bathroom even for customers. Service was quick in spite of a line. The various donuts & pastries were sufficient. The brewed coffee was much the same. The specialty espresso drink ordered took too long. It was also overly sweet. If you're looking for good oversized baked goods it's great. Still given the negatives it might be better elsewhere.

Hair in donut

Found a piece of hair in my donut today. Wasn't happy about it and honestly, I expect better.

A dozen donuts and 2 gluten free bagged separately items

Celiac Foodie- I love pastries & Sandys provides GF options. A few items and they sell fast! In a small container on the counter, labeled and I love the muffins! The Raspberry Muffin was really good. Coffee is available too. A small shop but caters well to their customer needs. No health issues after my meal. Happy Dining!

Glazed twists, long john, apple fritters

My favorite donut shop ever. I moved out of state but my parents live down the street from here. So whenever I visit, we grab some donuts in the morning. They have a wide array of donuts, and my favorites are the apple fritters and maple roll with peanuts but anything there is good. I suggest getting there early to get what you want because they will sell out quickly on their busier days! There's seating inside, that was recently remodeled, to enjoy or grab a big box to bring home!

Grinch donuts and powder donuts. Two more were not pictured because I ate them

You guys. Do you know how Facebook suggests food pages to follow? Is it just to foodies? Is it me?! Am I the drama? Okay sorry TikTok reference. So anyways Facebook told me about this place and I've been in Michigan an entire couple of weeks and I landed in Grand Rapids for hospital orientation. Before I get there I saw that they posted on their Facebook so I was like well what are the odds that my orientation is close? Pretty dang good. The odds were in my favor! I walk in, everyone is masked, it's clean, the person greeted me super kindly. I tell them it's my first time there. I tell them I'm coming from Zeeland and that their social media is absolutely working for them and the manager maybe? Paige? Offered to meet me half way because I live in her way home. Girl! If I didn't just gain 35lbs during covid I would take you up on that! This is amazing customer service! The donuts: I got a peanut butter chocolate one that I don't think I took a picture of because I seriously ate it in the parking lot. It had a peanut butter frosting that was absolutely divine. I got 4 Grinch donuts for these kids. I got a blueberry looking roll that I also accidentally ate it was a snaccident y'all and then I got two powdered just in case someone wants one. $9. Nine bucks. Nine dollars. Go getcha some!!! If it were up to me I would leave that box of donuts in my car and just eat them myself. I'm not even messing around. These might be the best donuts I've ever had.

On the west side? Check this local doughnut shop out... Traditional long john and apple fritter are , and the options are plentiful. Staff is friendly and this is definitely a local-westsider morning meetup (old timey and family friendly). You won't be disappointed!

SANDY'S DONUTS ⁣ ⁣ @sandysdonuts.gr is located on Leonard St NW, just a short drive from downtown GR! They have plenty of parking and plenty of sweet treats to choose from! ⁣

SneakyConorTV rates his fruity pebbles donut a 10/10 because it was the best donut ever! His little sister rates her chocolate frosted with pink sprinkles donut a 13/10 because it was so good it will bring us good luck (she is 4). Every time I stand in line to get these delicious treats for my family I revel in the joy they bring us with every bite. Served with a smile in a warm inviting atmosphere, this family owned donut shop is the best around.

I live close to Sandy's Donuts and have heard great things, so my daughter and I had a little morning date there today. The shop itself is really quaint, cozy, and very dated (and I say that as a good thing in this situation!) There are hard yellow booths and a few tables for seating, the walls have wood paneling, and the decor is a bit like a blast from the past. This is very much a cute old school donut shop, and I love it! We got 2 cake donuts, one peanut and one with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. The donuts themselves were pretty good. They tasted fresh and moist which is always a plus! I'm guessing they made them fresh that morning. This is a good place for classic donuts. You won't find a whole lot of donuts here that scream "creative" or "different", but I think for this kind of shop that works. Very classic place. Will return!

An enjoyable experience! This was our first time visiting and the food and service was excellent…read more We enjoyed two coffees where you have an option to have them regular, decaf or a hazelnut brew. We chose regular and they were good. For food we ordered a combo meal and the western omelette. Both meals we asked for hash browns and they were so crispy and delicious! All the food was seasoned well. The omelette was filled with all the vegetables and tons of bacon (opted out of ham). The pancakes were so soft and fluffy! The server was awesome and so welcoming. Overall a great experience. Parking: We found parking right in front. It was side street parking and you use the mobile app to pay to park.

A ton of tables,…read morewaitresses/waiters running around everywhere, able to look into the kitchen, and of course a bunch of "regulars". After that is where the classic diner takes a turn. Fun famous photos on the walls that are altered to have bunch themed quotes. The service is slowww. I get it they're busy, but this is clearly the expectation. Food, refills and check took a long time. But the reason it's not a 5/5 is really because they take the classics, and put a twist that really isn't an improvement for at least what we got. Square slightly burnt biscuits with barely enough gravy for 3/4 of it (see pic). And the Benedict had a full ham steak, which is just so much meat compared to the typical set up and all the eggs were overdone and not runny at all. Very cool place, cool location, fun atmosphere if you don't care how long you're there, but the food under delivered. I'd lean 3.5 over 3 but can't give a 4.

The food itself was fine. We ordered a traditional breakfast and an omelette. With both meals the eggs were runny. Both of us had coffee and it was extremely bitter. The saving grace of breakfast were the breakfast potatoes which were delicious and the only thing we cleaned our plates of. There was no music playing when we first got there so the vibes were weird but eventually they put some on, we were sat nearish the bathroom which had a certain smell and was pretty unkempt (trash can overflowing, paper towel bits all on the floor) for so early in the morning. Not a major issue but more annoyance, when asked if they could make chocolate chip pancakes we were told no and then about 10 minutes later (our pancakes hadn't come out yet) a table just sat was told chocolate pancakes we're definitely an option. Hopefully a one off bad experience but will not be taking a risk again here.

The pistachio syrup was legit - there were actual pistachio chunks and no fake pistachio extract flavor. i definitely would have preferred my drink sweeter though. i was also impressed by the drink to ice ratio. so many iced drinks are mostly ice but this matcha was FULL and not overly diluted with milk. i really enjoyed the flavor of the matcha itself as well. my partner said he'd give his latte a 9.1 out of 10. unfortunately there do not seem to be any vegan food options so it will be drinks only for us.

Honestly it was an incredible location for a space and had such a great vibe inside. My best friend is a regular at the restaurant and we're hoping to see them more in smaller capacities like when we saw them at the Fulton St. Market. Overall, the food was really good. I like the concept of fast-casual dining without the need to have a server. I think it allows things to feel more casual and allowed for me to be more willing to eat there (obviously in other circumstances lol). I got the horchata hot cakes with some of the papas with ghost sauce. I thought the pancakes were GREAT and more than worth it for the price. I was surprised how large and fluffy they were. The flavor was great without being too sweet and none of the flavors being too overpowering. My friends got the breakfast sandwiches and chaichata drinks and absolutely loved them. My friend loved her drink so much she got two within the span of us eating. I know it's a hard time for local businesses but I'm hoping there are more ways we can still see them around.

To be honest, I've only been here twice but I wanna change that based off the last time I went. Our…read morefood was just so good, I had forgotten how delicious their menu is. Different from the last time I was here but we were told to find a seat upon entering and that when we were ready, we could order our food at the counter. I looked over their menu and found lots of good breakfast taco options, the breakfast burrito I have heard is great, but what really caught my attention was the biscuits and gravy. I was feeling quite ravenous this morning and got the full order for $11 and a side of bacon. They had a table close to the entrance with extra menus, clean cups, water jugs, hot sauces, silverware and napkins. Seemed like a help-yourself vibe which I grabbed everything we would need for our meal. Our food was brought to us rather quickly and my bf ordered the breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs and sausage. He told me it tasted so good and he loved that he could make his own tacos with his food. He let me try one of the hashbrown rounds and it was perfectly crispy! My biscuits and gravy were phenomenal. The biscuits were so fresh and the gravy had a really nice and comforting flavor to it. You could get chorizo and mushrooms in your gravy but i went with a traditional sausage for my protein. My bacon on the side came in a tiny dish but I ate all four pieces haha. Once we finished, there were some bus bins under the same table with the silverware, we placed all our dirty dishes there and cleaned up after ourselves before leaving. I honestly felt so content leaving there and can't wait to return. I really appreciate the ambiance in there with the beautiful plant life, the lights on the ceiling, and cool decor in general. The staff was also SO NICE! Wins everywhere. I also noticed people coming in for takeout which is good to know in case I don't feel like dining in some morning. Please check this place out sometime if you're in the mood for some really good breakfast that doesn't break your bank account.
