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

I've been to this spot once for a meeting on their patio and their donut holes were yummy! They also offered savory baked goods which were good as well. I recently visited because I purchased two dozen donuts from TooGoodToGo. I arrived early, before the window, but the employee was cool and let me pick up my goods, as long as I marked my items as "picked up" once the window opened, which I did. There was a great assortment of donuts. I tried the S'more's one and it was delicious! Loved the (halal) marshmallows on top and the flavors mixed well. BTW everything here is halal, including their bacon and sausage. Definitely want to come back and try more from their menu! read more

What a cute spot! I'll be heading here over bosa now :) . Went late on a random week night donut craving adventure. We got: fruity pebbles, pink sprinkle, Boston cream, & glaze. Warmed up, they taste like 2000's Krispy Kreme. Very satisfied - fresh and lots to choose from. The Boston cream filling was actual filling and not fake pudding. They have a whole gelato case, coffees, pastries, sandwiches, and bagels. Samples were a hit, thank you so much! read more

This place is amazing. First time here, the lady at the counter was amazing. I wish I got her name but she was so friendly. She gave me the last blueberry fritter which was the best fritter I've had. I ended up getting a dozen and a half that were up there with the best donuts I've had. She through in a small box of donut holes. I wish this place was closer to me. read more

The service is impeccable the food is more amazing than I anticipated. I found these amazing people, when I lived around the corner and now I live further and still go out of my way for this place! Specifically for their blueberry danish which is unmatched to any place I've ever had. I do wish they didn't put those caraway seeds on the everything bagel as they're very overpowering but I took them off and the bagel was delicious read more

What a lovely bakery. The owner is lovely, and it's a nicely setup clean establishment. Gorgeous outdoor seating and just a lovely atmosphere. So compliments to the barista cause I got a oat milk latte hot and it was better than Starbucks and of course without the crazy price tag too. I got the #5 on an everything bagel which was omg everything!!. We had a sample bag of like every one of the donut selections available (of course everything was in there but- you hopefully feel me) okay even if you don't feel me just go in for yourself to see!! Try thé spécial baklava it was delicious. read more
I cannot recommend this place enough. When doing events at ASU, this is my new go to place. Within one week I had to order around 5000+ donuts. No place in town could help me except the amazing people at Sesame donuts. They were able to curate an assortment that were beautiful and really made everyone happy on campus, I am so thankful for them and will definitely be coming back for any of my needs. read more

These are good donuts! This spot just opened about a month ago and I got to try it for the first time today. I love that they have cute Halloween decorated donuts like spiderwebs and Frankenstein. They also have samples to try at the front counter. The lady working at the counter was very friendly and even gave me 1 free donut. It costs a little less than $10 for half a dozen. Next time I would love to try one of their kolaches! read more

Family owned donut shop with fresh donuts, croissants and great customer service! They have sesame donut holes too! They were good and not too sweet, something unique I have not had before. I got the croissant sausage breakfast sandwich and it hit the spot. It was delicious, hot and flaky. We ordered blueberry donuts and old fashion glazed and 30 donut holes. They have patio covered seating and also festive seasonal decor. Highly recommend this spot. read more

On our way to the Legoland Discovery Center, my kids were begging for a doughnut and we just happened to spot this place and we stopped. I am so glad we did! They had an amazing selection of doughnuts, bagels, and gelato. The lady behind the counter was the sweetest woman I've ever met and treated us with such warmth, kindness, and generosity. My boys absolutely loved the doughnuts and doughnut holes. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area! The actual shop was clean and beautiful, and definitely makes you want to taste every doughnut available! read more
I went to the grand opening of this business and let's just say I got hooked! The cream used to fill the donuts is fresh and tasty. The donuts melt in your mouth! If you bring your kids or grandkids they get a free sample of the donut holes. Even the adults always get an extra treat! The place sparkles with not only sprinkles on the donuts but is shiny clean. Lila who often takes your order exudes friendliness! I always get a dozen self-selected donuts and a bag of holes filled with jelly! Yum. This time the holes actually made it home lol! There is such a large selection to choose from and they have themed donuts too! Today I decided to try their breakfast croissant and it was epically delish!! Grab the kids and go try it! You too will be hooked. read more

Yum!!! This was my first time here because I was at a friends house and don't live nearby. These donuts were SO yummy! They had so many yummy options (even GF) and all the kinds I got were tasty! They were the perfect consistency and I ate several in one sitting. Wish I had enough room in my stomach for more but I'll definitely be eating more tomorrow! read more
I just let ft this spot. The customer service by "da boss" deserves a 20 star. She is amazing. The minute you walk in, you feel her energy and old soul. There was a customer ahead of us. Just based off that encounter she already was going to get an amazing review by me. There was a boy and his mother. The boy was special and she made him feel like the most special soul in the world. She gifted him a donut and he erupted in ecstasy. That melted my soul and then she topped it off when she took over our order. She gifted me a donut as well. But still made me feel as if I was the most special person on the planet. I tried reading her name tag and it said "da boss". This woman must be the owner. But even if she is. Her customer service is the best. Their options are amazing. All of their donuts were tried so far are good. We got a vanilla and hazelnut coffee. The vanilla gets. 10/10. The hazelnut gets a 3/10. The gentleman must have forgotten the hazelnut. The garlic bagel was delicious. The ambiance in there is like a zen garden. Beautiful and peaceful. Noise level is comfortable for the ear. They got seating area, ice cream and breakfast bagels as well. Plenty of parking next to Dutch bros. Support this place instead. read more

I picked up my too good to go order today from Sesame Donuts after a long day at work The guy that put my dozen donuts together was awesome! Even though I was picking them up at a discount he made sure I got a great variety. These donuts are DE-LISH-OUS (I know it's spelled wrong..) but seriously. I've never had a fluffier apple fritter and just look at them. I live on the west side, but I will definitely be going back. read more

Getting my kids to try new things is a chore. We've been touring donut shops and 'exploring' to find the perfect donut. This week's adventure took us to Sesame Donuts. You can't ask for a more friendly environment, service and amazing experience. My daughter has declared this the winner and I worry she might not want to try any other places! Pleasantly surprised the espresso and pastries were delicious. This place is a hidden gem. Fair warning, small children will likely receive donut holes upon entering the building. Somehow my two conned more donut holes upon exiting too. read more

I was excited to try this place after seeing so many 5-star reviews on Yelp. Came in on 4pm on a Monday, and got 30 donut holes, and they were tasting quite stale. They do have a wide selection of donuts but honestly I was disappointed and I personally wouldn't recommend coming in the PM. The lady in the kitchen was really nice to offer a donut that was made more recently, which tasted better than what I purchased. read more

This neighborhood gem provides a variety of donuts and pastries. Beautiful Family run business making the American Dream a reality. Their hard work and amazing customer service is hands down the best in Tempe. My only recommendation for improvement would be to pair up these yummy donuts with outstanding coffee of their own, not leaving it up to the other business in the same plaza. Coffee needs some TLC. Happy to be a faithful customer. Tenki! read more

The food is amazing! I got 2 donuts, a strawberry smoothie, and a bacon, egg and cheese croissant. The sandwich was amazing and filling, the smoothie was blended perfectly, no icy crunchy texture other smoothies consist of and the donuts I got were sweet, flavorful and a perfect snack. The staff was friendly, helpful and gave me some great recommendations as well. Plenty of great seating with a large patio on the side to sit and relax! With very clean restrooms as well. I will be coming back again for sure read more

We were excited to see Gluten Free donuts available here in Tempe so we knew we had to try and Sesame Donuts did not disappoint. The staff was incredibly friendly and samples were available. We got a few regular donuts and my husband got all three available gluten-free donuts (vanilla, chocolate, and blueberry). Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back! read more

Really fresh and tasty donuts. I have also had an egg and cheese sandwich on a crossaint and a Chai. They were perfectly made. The family that owns the business is so sweet. The restaurant is very homey feeling. They have a beautiful patio with ceiling fans and a bathroom. Come on in to this restaurant if you are a fan of good breakfast food. The donuts are really great. read more
