Sesame Donuts.
Joyce W.

Knock-knock! Who's there? Donut. Donut who? Donut ask, it's a secret! At least, I'm tempted to keep Sesame Donuts a secret. I got the #1 combo which is a coffee with two doughnuts. For my doughnuts, I chose the coffee cream doughnut and the Doughnut of the Month (May is Strawberry Shortcake). While I would not suggest coming here for the coffee, the doughnuts were pretty fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed both doughnuts. I also got to try their gluten-free doughnuts and they were decent. All that was missing was the gluten. ;) Service was amazing, the location is massive and cute, and it's just a great place to grab a doughnut!

We absolutely love their gluten free donuts! They are soft and delicious. The staff are helpful and friendly. We've had these several times and never had concerns about cross contamination. Nice and clean inside!

I stopped by Sesame Donuts after getting a haircut in the same plaza and figured I'd get some treats for the family. For it being later in the afternoon, I was actually surprised by how many donut options they still had, pretty much the full lineup! The shop itself looked clean and well-kept, which is always a good start. The employee behind the counter was a bit standoffish, not rude or anything, just not super warm. but hey, maybe it was a long day, so I didn't take it personally. I picked up an assorted half dozen to try a little bit of everything. That's where things got a little mixed. About half the donuts were great, soft, fresh, and hit that perfect sweet spot. The other half? Pretty dry and tasted a bit like leftovers from the day before (or maybe even the day before that). So, I'm on the fence. If I come back, I'll probably stick with the classics instead of the "fun" or seasonal ones, and maybe swing by earlier in the morning when everything's freshly made. I wouldn't cross this place off completely. Just might need to catch them at their best time of day.

Tried three Donuts with limited success. One was free since it was my first time. The best of the bunch was ths Coconut Cream which was light and airy and had a good filling. The Blueberry fritter had alot of blueberries, but was still oily and the blueberry crumb cake was just stale with no taste.

Iced coffee. Only a few coffee options and they need espresso but plenty strong

Very welcoming staff. Wonderful smell coming in. Large menu. The sausage could have been warmer on sandwich.

We adore this place! We are always welcomed in with a warm smile and a friendly compliment. The modern and clean store show the attention and care that goes into running this location. We have never gotten anything we didn't love. My nephews favorite are the "monster" donuts. I love the Donut of the Month. This month is a Pumpkin Cheesecake. My sister always orders the French Cruller. But the jalapeño cream cheese croissant is special. Truly adore this family owned and operated donut shop and you can taste the love and care in each bite.

I have visited Sesame Donuts many times, and it is among the best donut shops Tempe has to offer. One of my coworkers had his birthday today, and I got Sesame Donuts, as not only is he fond of donuts, but Sesame Donuts is conveniently located along the route I take to get from home to work every day, and back. When I walked in today, a friendly gentleman who was not only fun to talk to but was also patient with me when I was deciding what donuts to get when I ordered a dozen of them, greeted me. I also saw the gelato that the shop offered, and I said that the gelato looked delicious. Upon making that statement, the gentleman offered me samples. Since I had yet to have breakfast when I stopped by, I decided to sample only one flavor. The flavor I sampled was birthday cake, and it was amazing. The atmosphere of the shop is nice and colorful. Perfect for stopping by to grab some delicious donuts for any occasion. As I was selecting the final two donuts for the dozen I ordered, the gentleman even gave me an extra donut for free, which was a nice bonus. Therefore, I got a baker's dozen rather than a regular dozen. I highly recommend Sesame Donuts to anyone who is looking for a great donut shop in Tempe.

Variety: Boston Cream, Churro, French Crueller, Buttermilk Bar, Chocolate Raised, Maple Bar, Raspberry Bismarck, Apple Fritter

All of the great reviews here caught our eye so we made an unplanned stop. We were impressed that they had a good selection of donuts still at 1 p.m. on a Saturday. An incredibly nice woman sporting the name tag "Da Boss" was helping us (the boss, I would presume, lol) and she offered us samples. We also heard how Sesame donates their donuts to hospitals, which is pretty awesome. We purchased a variety to try: chocolate frosted raised, French crueller, apple fritter, raspberry bismarck, buttermilk bar, churro. And then Da Boss may have added a couple extra just because she has the freedom to do so. (!) I liked the apple fritter and chocolate raised the best. It's nice to find a business that cares about their customers and their community.

A dozen hand selected donuts.

This is a family owned business that takes pride in their work. I just ended training at my new job so I decided to get the dispatch at my work a dozen donuts. I really wanted to make a good impression so I went out of my way to not get the regular Bosa donuts. This place exceeded my expectations!! when I called and asked for the price of a dozen a very nice woman answered the phone. She told me they had very unique donuts to come in to choose so I did. They had one of a kind donuts that were clearly freshly made and once a batch was over with they don't replace it for the day. It's a first come first serve. I would recommend these donuts to everyone and since I now know how fresh and sweet they are I will be coming back. Much better than "Voo Doo" or "Hurts"!!! Make sure you speak with "DA BO$$" she's a wonderful woman who carries on the legacy of her father and employs her son as well. Very cool looking venue as well. The inside is fun for people of all ages.

This is the coziest local spot. The owners have been in business for 20 years! They have shops all around the United States. This is the only Arizona shop. They make the donuts, hot and fresh, and so yummy! They treated my niece with such love and grace. The owner: "Da Boss"was so kind and loving! It felt like going into your Aunt's shop and getting her homemade donuts! They had cute decor that we took pictures next to. It was just this beautiful experience and we will definitely be coming back support local donuts

Gluten free
Cassie B.

Gluten free options were amazing! So glad to find gluten free donuts finally!! Chocolate with sprinkles, vanilla with sprinkles, strawberry, maple, vanilla cream, salted caramel

Christina M.

I used the Too Good to Go app here and that was awesome. Donuts are delish, staff is friendly. No complaints. It's donuts... they are small cakes IMO. Main positive is using that app to prevent food waste and get a deal. Overall donuts have become exorbitantly expensive now. Some places charge $2.50-4 per donut. That's literal insanity given their operating costs most likely haven't gone up that much (they've gone up but not $4 a donut, up). And I'm not just talking about Sesame. I'm talking about the "donut industry" lol. They are just very popular now and people will pay stupid money for cute things. That's why I don't get donuts often but enjoy them from time to time. As I said, they are simply little cakes.

Churro donut
Adrienne C.

Such a cute and lively place! It is clearly a favorite because it was busy when we arrived and there was a woman working that I heard a lot of customers calling "Mama" so clearly she is known and cherished. Customers also knew the names of the other staff who were working. There is a large variety of options. Truly something for everyone. We ordered a cheesecake donut, churro donut, strawberry sprinkle donut and Dutch crumb donut. All of the donuts were fresh and yummy. We also got the zataar and feta croissant and an iced chai latte. The croissant was perfectly made and flaky. The chai latte was a little on the sweet side for me and it seemed like the iced in it melted quickly. They have a nice little seating room and patio seating. They have a shared lot with plenty of parking. We will be back.

Parlor, you almost had me in a chokehold with that Spinach Pesto Breakfast Sandwich. First time I…read morehad it 5 stars, that pesto is so flavorful I thought there was meat on it (mind you I'm a pescatarian, so I was scared for a minute) Second time, the ciabatta was fighting me back (chewy like it had beef with me), so 4 stars. But flavor..still slaps. Third time is a charm....back to 5 stats! Now, about the doughnuts! They're fluffy, they're pretty, they come dressed to impress. But the toppings! Whew, sweet on sweet on sweet. And this is coming from me, someone who never says no to sugar. If my sweet tooth is waving the white flag, you know it's serious. Bottom line: Go for the sandwich, grab a doughnut for the photo and prepare your insulin.

The flavour came through with no artificial aftertaste. The double chocolate was not a chocolate donut. My bad for not reading the product description. It was chocolate frosting with chocolate chips to achieve the double title The donut itself was not greasy, but did not rock my socks with awe.

There are a couple of tables outside and inside. We got a dozen donuts to take home. These are our ratings on the ones we tried: Glazed devil's food chocolate cake donut: 3.5 stars. This is a decent cake donut. Nothing super special or exciting, nothing unpleasant about it. Strawberry sprinkle: 3 stars. Didn't have much strawberry flavor but the donut itself was good. Pumpkin spice coffee cake donut: 5 stars. This was delicious. No detractors to this donut whatsoever. Cinnamon roll: 4 stars. Pretty decent. Comparable to some of the better donut places out there. Definitely a good stop for donuts if you're in the area! Maple bacon: 4.5 stars. Bacon was still crunchy. Maple had good flavor. Great donut. Cinnamon crumb: 4.5 stars. Really good. Lots of cinnamon flavor. Great crunch. Vanilla cream custard cronut: 5 stars. Raspberry on top was lovely. Custard was delicious and well spread across the donut. Creme brulee: 4 stars. Donut was moist. Cream was good but not much of a crunch on the outside. Raspberry on top gets 5 stars.

When you enter, the smell of all the delicious donuts just captivates you and the owner greeted us with such a warm smile and welcome. We told him we came to pickup a surprise box and he began to pack our box with goodies. We started to chat and he asked us where we were from and after we said Denver and that we were leaving the next day, he gave us a few more donuts for the flight home. The surprise box would have been more than enough but for him to give us more for our flight went far beyond our expectations! If you're hankering for a donut, you need to stop by and get one, maybe two...actually, just get yourself a whole box!

Not to mention, the cashiers outfit was dirty. However, I really wanted to give this place a try due the reviews. I originally was going to order a dozen donuts but everything was so off putting that I only ordered two creme brûlée donuts. And boy am I glad I did! The donuts were sooooo good! Light and airy with the proper creme brûlée crunchy top. The only downside was, the filling was not the right custard. It's vanilla pastry cream, which is different from custard. (I'm a baker and know the difference). All in all, the donut was exceptionally delicious and I'd definitely be back. Next time I'm going to come earlier to get a fresh dozen.
