This lady is sweet. Calls the women princess

Everyday donut shop ambiance. Very nice lady gives good service. The donuts get the 5 stars. Fire!!!!!! Chocolate twists and loaded with chocolate and so soft and fresh. Ham and cheese croissant was so yummy also. Definitely a hitter.

Such a great mom & pop shop. My kids love the speciality donuts. The owners are always so kind and personable. The iced coffee is excellent! And the shop is always clean. So if looking for a cute morning, treat for your little ones this is a great place and also some good selections for an adult treat and caffeine fix.

Steve's donut the best in the west, gotta love Lilly and Steve they are awesome Gotta try these donuts you'll be hooked the first one!

Lady was super energetic and friendly, I love her vibes and personality. She even gave some complimentary donut holes, I definitely recommend this place. The donuts are pretty fluffy and not too sweet too

glazed donuts, pink frosting with sprinkles donut, custard filled donut, sugar twist

I just wanted to say the plain glazed donuts are heavenly, and this is coming from someone who doesn't care for donuts or sweets much! Best I've ever had! The place was super clean, the man working behind the counter was extremely kind and patient. 1000/10

Steve's Donuts is amazing. My parents were visiting from England and were craving some Donuts so I looked up Steve's and it did not disappoint! So many great choices to choose from and the texture and flavours are amazing. We ordered coffee too which was also good. Service in the shop was great too, very friendly and welcoming.

Whomever the lady was who attended us and gave us such a welcoming experience really made my day. Her sweet smile and helpful advice was really appreciated. Please come here to try out these delicious dounts my fave rn was the chocolate pebbles one the chocolate underneath the cereal topping was so smooth, creamy, thick fudgeness. Sooo so so so good!
