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.

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!

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.

Fluffy croissant and a lot of variety Convient location from town of riverside place #18 https://www.yelp.com/article/yelps-top-100-us-donut-shops-2022

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

Customer Service: 5 stars. The man and the woman were very nice. Greeted, started conversation, and kept complimenting the kids. Kids kept telling me, "they're so nice." Lol. Price: Same. Usual. Like $1 a donut and half dozen $5.xx. Other shops are $1-$1.10 for the regular donuts. I probably eat donuts every two weeks, and my jeans definitely tell me I don't need to try another donut shop but doing a search on Yelp for donuts listed this shop with good reviews and so my taste buds told me I had to see for myself. Definitely will be back so I can possibly update to a 5 stars when I get to try other flavors. (Donuts, macaroons, ice cream and the like are the way to some women's hearts, not purses, jewelry, etc...lol ok maybe just sweets over purses for me.) Atmosphere: Clean, open, bright, spacious. We were there around 1:00 pm so there wasn't a wide selection left and the female employee/co-owner? said they close at 6:00. As already known, greatest selection is during breakfast hours but we were in the area so donuts with our lunch sounded just as yummy. Taste: Too sweet for me, which is odd because I lovvvvvve sweet treats. I think because my chocolate old-fashioned had a layer of glaze and then the thick layer of chocolate. This I appreciate since I don't like just a thin layer of chocolate coating on my doughnuts. The pretty decorated blue cake donut and the appealing chocolate on glaze raised (regular) donut were also very sweet. The kids loved them but next time we'll have to stop by at an earlier time so I can try a classic chocolate bar donut. They definitely have very colorful decorated donuts and they all looked so cute with cookie, drizzles, and cereal toppings. Parking: Plenty. Right in front as well. Several other restaurants in this same plaza. Convenient if you wanted to grab lunch or early dinner with donuts for dessert. My plans exactly for my 2nd trip!

Easily the best donuts in town. Linda and Steve (owners) are absolutely the nicest people, Steve is a jokester- the two of them make you want to come back just as much as the delicious donuts do. They have creative specialty donuts here, but their everyday common donuts taste excellent as well. What makes the donuts special? They are always fresh, soft, melt in your mouth delectable yumminess. Never had a stiff, stale, or greasy donut here. read more

My co-worker just brought a couple of these to work and I chose a standard ring donut with frosting on top since the others looked jelly filled and I don't tend to enjoy those. Not only was the frosting generous and fluffy so was the oversized amazing donut itself. Not overcooked and soooo good. Probably the best donut i've ever had and now I'm looking into large quantities for my sister baby shower next weekend. read more

I understand now why this place has 5 stars! The donuts are so fresh and fluffy! You can tell they are made fresh daily. The regular glaze is honestly better than Krispy Kreme! And I finally found a place that sells a cronut that doesn't suck or isn't too dry. They also have a dozen donut holes for $1.50! Pictured is the cronut and some strawberry and cream between two glazed donuts. read more

I have to say the other reviewers were spot on by Linda's Donut Shop! Linda is as friendly as anyone you will ever meet in life. There aren't many people who can make me smile and laugh at 5:30 AM but Linda is definitely one of them. : D The donuts in the shop on a Saturday morning were as delicious and fresh as pictured in numerous other reviews. The shop was clean and well ordered and though business was heavy, service was fast and efficient. I do not pick up donuts very often for the family but, from now on, when I do get donuts they will be from here! read more

I stumbled on this fancy donut shop. I always wanted to find a local FANCY donut shop in Riverside - Well, I found it in this fabulous spot! The first time, I got a dozen fancy/mixed donuts to take to work. One of my co-workers said, she never eats donuts, but ate two of these and said to tell her next time I was going there, because she would eat these "ANYTIME, because they are super fresh and delicious" and they are. I have been back several times and now have my co-workers are driving long distances to go here. I love the maple bacon bar. The customer service is also OUTSTANDING! read more

Heard good things about this place on the Nextdoor app, drove about 15-20mins to go check it out and it was worth it! I appreciate fairly priced donuts these days! It seems like anywhere else now you have to overpay and for mediocrity! The donuts here were great and the glaze twist was generous in size! They even had a honeydew glazed donut that was delicious! I appreciate they offer unique options, again, at affordable prices. Beyond that, the lady who helped me, I assume Linda?, was beyond friendly!

THIS PLACE IS A MUST GO!!! I live in the apartments near by and I would always see this place but never go in, we decided to go in a see what they had because I saw a picture of cute looking donuts outside of it. BEST. DECISION. EVER. First of all the donuts are incredibly cheap, and super reasonably priced! I've had their cronut blueberry and strawberry (both in picture) and both of them are amazing!! The bluebeerry is the best! Only think onn the strawberry is I wish they put more real strawberries and mashed them up like the blueberry one! The Ham and cheese croissant IS SO GOOD it's cheesy and large! Loved it! OVERALL 10/10 would go again and again and again! Customer service there is super awesome both the lady and male there are INCREDIBLY nice and they made it worth going back to have their donuts! read more

Service: The ladies were very friendly, and it seemed like they had quite a few regular customers, which is always a good sign. Ambiance: The shop was clean, and I like that you can simply walk up to the window, get your donuts, and go if you're in a rush. There is also a side door with a seating area if you want to sit and enjoy your donuts. The only issue I had was not with the ambiance, but with the coffee cup lid. The lid was a little weak and came loose when I grabbed the cup. Just be careful to make sure the coffee lid is securely closed before drinking. Overall: I had a very positive experience and will continue to go there. The prices were also very reasonable. Definitely a place I would recommend if you're looking for fresh, tasty donuts - again I only visited before 8am :)
