We noticed this place a couple mornings ago when we ate at the Belgian restaurant next door. We came back to get donuts for my son. The place is Cambodian owned and the owner knows the Donut King (see the Hulu documentary). The place is in need of an update and has probably been in business in a couple decades. Unfortunately the place was dimly lit which didn't give out much energy. The owner wasn't particularly friendly or enthusiastic. There was a standard array of donuts that appeared bland and boring in need of more color. My son liked the glazed donuts and voted 3 stars. read more

I picked up a little over a dozen donuts for an event and came here because it had good reviews. They did not disappoint, the donuts were fresh and many folks at the event said they were the best donuts they had dried in the palm springs area. The owners were helpful picking out donuts. Plenty of parking in the shopping center so easy to get to and pick up. read more

Excellent donuts and ham and cheese croissants. Would eat there again, reasonably priced

This place used to have really nice donuts but something was definitely off this time and I wonder if the management is new? I almost thought it was closed at 7:30 am on a weekday as the place was dark inside but it was open. Everybody knows that good donuts have a nice, shiny and fresh looking chocolate or maple coating but not these donuts. I struggled to pick one that looked decent and opted for the cinnamon glazed and was shocked it was $3.90 for ONE donut. I paid because I felt weird leaving but knew I wasn't going to eat it. I walked over to the Albertsons in the same plaza and for $1.49 each I got beautiful and tasty chocolate glazed with pretty Thanksgiving color jimmies and a nice cake donut--all very fresh. I won't be stopping into swiss Donuts again and it's too bad but again, $3.90 for a donut?! Wow. read more

Understated shop but the donuts are so good I couldn't believe it ... really tasty and good price

Delicious donuts. We are visiting from Minnesota and I wish we had places like this in MN. read more

Swiss Donut - Donuts Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Absolutely my favorite donut stop in Palm Desert. They have the best selection of French donuts in town. They are so light and airy. And they come in a variety of options: glazed, chocolate, maple, etc. The glazed donuts are delicious, too. And the cinnamon rolls are big and tasty and just pure heaven. I just love this place. read more

The place wasn't hard to find with a lot of parking. It was mid-morning by the time we came by and unfortunately there was not a big selection. I know it doesn't seem like a busy area especially during the time of year but I was expecting to have at least a few of the basic donut flavors. The donuts were okay. They didn't taste fresh or as fluffy as the other reviews have noted. I am a little disappointed about that since I L O V E donuts. The woman who helped us seemed straightforward and wasn't super friendly. Because of the lack of selection, we just ended up getting a half dozen and leaving. They have a lot of seating inside and one table outdoors. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be to sit inside though. I might have to look around the area for some better donuts. read more

Best donuts in town always fresh and taste amazing. Get there early sometimes certain donuts sell out early. They make great apple fritters and cake donuts. You really can't go wrong with any of them. read more

Best donuts hands down...soft, fluffy, and tasty. My wife loves the ham, cheese and jalapeño croissants. Reminds me of our fav donut shop in Long Beach(Broadway Donut.) The ladies and gentleman that work there are always so pleasant. read more

Swiss Donut - Donuts and Ham/Cheese/Jalapeño Croissant. - Donuts Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Great apple fritters and buttermilk glazed donuts! The lady behind the counter was kind enough to give me a free donut! But don't expect a smile or greeting, she was all business... read more

Fresh donuts made inhouse, good price. Taste and texture is just right. I bought 6 pcs and got extra cake free

First time here this morning & the parking lot was a bit of a hassle to try to get out of as most exits are right turn only. Service could be friendlier as I almost felt unwelcome when I entered. Not a big selection. I actually went in for a breakfast sandwich but I guess they don't offer those anymore. Only thing they had premade was a ham and cheese croissant. I opted for the bear claw myself. It's pretty good, not much filling and not super sweet which I like. Not sure if I will be back. The Swiss Donut on Sunrise in Palm Springs is much better & the girls are so sweet. read more

We were visiting Palm Desert for a few days and got up early one morning to get a dozen donuts at Swiss. We asked for a dozen donuts and he gave us 2 extra donuts. The location is clean and very easy to get to. The donuts were very good, so good they were all gone by the next morning. read more

Had to come in to Palm Desert in the dead of summer to visit a friend. No coffee at my house so, I came over here and got a delicious cup of coffee, and some delicious donuts very nice lady very good Service very good donuts and coffee read more

I have been wanting to come and drop by this donut shop and today, we did. I was so surprised to see a very well kept and updated donut shop and it was just so refreshing especially here in the desert. The kids got some boba, which they said tasted fresh and the boba has that good chewy texture; just the way they like it! About my choice, I got a chocolate cake donut topped with almonds and I must say, I enjoyed it very much! It was perfect with my black coffee! And when it comes to service, Ken and Janet are the best! They talked with us for a while, too, and we had a nice time chatting with these great people. For donuts, coffee and boba drinks, this definitely is my #1 choice in the desert! read more

Swiss Donut - super good!! - Donuts Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

BEST DONUTS IN THE DESERT! We were in town for a week and visited 3 times. The apple fritter and glazed buttermilk are easily the BEST we've ever had! Taking a few extras home on our flight back to the Bay Area. Donuts were light, fresh and delicious! Owners were very sweet and welcoming. We will definitely be back! Note there are 3 Swiss Donuts in the desert and they are all independently owned. Make sure to visit the Rancho Mirage location, you won't be disappointed. read more

Went in to buy some delicious donuts, however, got turned away when I asked to throw away my trash. Can't comment on how the donuts taste but costumer service was trash. Went to Winchell's instead. Way better costumer service and got my delicious donuts! read more

I usually go here right when they open in the morning. Each time I've gone here, their donuts have been delicious and fresh. The lady who works there is always pleasant and kind. The donuts are the standard $.99 cents, unless you get one of the larger, top shelf ones. I usually get the chocolate custard filled and the crullers. I think their Hwy 111 location is a little bit more expensive? I've been to that location once and I think I paid 1.10$ per donut, but I can't be sure. read more

The donut where amazing my and I son finish them in 1 day we normally never finished donuts they normally go stale but we polish that box off real quick. Owner was very nice... read more

10/10 Bought a half dozen and all of them were great. No complaints here! Highly recommend the old fashion, Boston cream and apple fritter.

Best donuts around. Hit this place every time I'm in town. Excellent raised donuts and the glaze is awesome. Also have good bear claws. Old fashioned and maple bars. read more

I liked these and would go back. They were inexpensive as well. I purchased a plain glazed and a cinnamon-flavored roll. Both were pretty good, but were more "light" or "bready" than those I prefer from my southern upbring on the Shipley's chain (my benchmark). They also were a little light on the glazing, and I like sugar. read more

I'd like to thank Antone for his previous review of this donut shop. While in the area with my kids, during a global pandemic, my first concern is safety. I want to make sure the places we go to are taking this serious, I could tell from his review, this was our place. The donuts are really good too and very affordable! read more

I wasn't satisfied from the pho place nearby, so came here for something sweet. Fresh, tasty glazed and rainbow sprinkled donut hit the spot. And only $1.25. Super light and delish. I don't eat donuts often, as well, they're donuts, but this was worth it. read more

All I have to say other than that the donuts are fantabulous is that this was my first time trying a buttermlik bar and I DREAM of them now. So sad I haven't found any buttermlik bars in nyc yet :( Get there early before they sell out! read more

I haven't been to a place where you can get out of there with 7 donuts for $6.80. The donuts were perfectly crispy and the service was lovely. I wish this was my corner donut shop! read more

Amazing little donut spot! Being a donut connoisseur I was very happy to find a local donut shop with incredible fresh and well made donuts. read more

It's pretty simple. They make really good donuts, the coffee is good, and the owners are humble and kind.

If you need a quick donut fix, this place will do, but they don't seem to go the extra mile. I think sometimes things are not as fresh as you'd like them to be. I've been to other local donut shops and they give you a few donut holes to go with the donut you bought. I also think this place is a little pricey, and dark inside. read more

The maple buttermilk was delightful only topped by the almond croissant shaped like a heart..

I've eaten at this doughnut shop once and the doughnuts were amazing! However, I've visited numerous times after and they always seem to be closed. No matter the time of day. The sign will say open but the door is locked! Very disappointing since I really enjoyed their doughnuts the first time around. I don't know what is going on with the store anymore. read more

Stopped in to this cute donut shop to check it out. Very friendly staff. I am traditional in my donut preferences; no fancy flavor combos needed for me. Selected a cinnamon roll and it was legit! One of the best cinnamon roll donuts i have ever had. Just the right amount of cinnamon; light texture. read more

This was the best raspberry-filled, glazed donut I have ever had. Worth every calorie!

Decent donuts located only a few miles in from the highway. I had a maple glazed donut and a coconut glazed donut with a coffee to start my day. Maple is a flavor that I've never gravitated towards unless it was on my waffle, pancake or French toast. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how good this donut tasted. The coconut, not so much, because it was kind of bland aside from the shreds of coconut over the top of the donut. And the coffee was simple, but complimented the donuts well. Go for a break from the long drive and pick up some delicious (maple) donuts! read more

Best donuts in all of the desert if not all of Southern California!! Don't come here for crazy bacon or something weird in top of your donut- come here for the good ok maple bar or traditional apple fritter! You won't be disappointed!! Love this place...have been coming here for about 7 yrs and they are very consistent!! The same couple have been working here from the start and they are here everyday! Total commitment! Love supporting small biz like this! read more

Classic no reviews on yelp. I don't think their clientele are on yelp. Good donut shop. Polite service.

Good donuts but you are not allowed to pick your own dozen donuts! Weird! I don't understand this.

Now my number one local Donut Shop! I was blown away by the selection and the donuts were delicious. For every 6 donuts you buy, you get one free, so I ended up with 14 donuts! The gentleman behind the counter was also very welcoming and patient as we chose our dozen. I definitely will be back. read more

Best Donuts Ever. I would even say they're better than the donuts at my wedding... which I'm very bias towards.
