This little shop had about ten different types of donuts available during my visit. But they had about 50 apple fritters and I was told that "more" were coming out. There is an obvious reason for the apple fritter avalanche. They are very, very good. They are also enormous. I dare you to eat one of these belly-busters yourself. I only got a handful of donuts during my visit but they were all very well-made and delicious. Yes, they cost more (ok, much more) than your average donut but for an occasional special treat, these will more than fit the bill. I am not a donut guy whatsoever but these fritters are really great. read more

This location is a great mom & pop spot. The inside is your basic donut shop, simple. The girls at the counter have been serving them up daily with a smile for quite sometime & have always been nice. The donuts are what you would expect from any basic donut shop classic goodness! I suggest getting there early as this shop is well known and they go quick! See you next time! read more

Greasy options to purchase from, donuts always taste fresh. Just wish they didn't close so early, some PM workers would love your donuts too but hard to reach you especially when you close earlier than the stated time! read more

Always love to visit local businesses when we are visiting! This is a great way to give back to the community and promote small businesses! We found Swiss Donuts which is a small donut shop on the way leaving Cathedral City. Just like your typical donut places, they have donuts, croissant, and other bakery items. We had their ham, egg, and cheese croissant, which was delicious! We didn't know the croissant was so big that we could just share one. The egg was cooked nicely with toasted croissant making it nice and warm breakfast. The donut holes was great too! Really enjoyed their food here. read more

Always fresh donuts and big variety of choices! Cashiers are friendly and thorough. Definitely recommend!

The selection is always weak or sold out. You can't leave with a dozen doughnuts for under $30, which is insane especially considering they are basic and all taste the same. They are polite behind the counter, but even they know these donuts are way overpriced and tried to tell you how gourmet they are. They most definitely are not. I'll probably stop by here twice a year when donuts are required until I find a better choice. Way too expensive for regular stops, and not fancy enough for a special occasion. read more

A bacon egg and cheese on a croissant runs you around $12. Similar donut shops would charge you half the price for a larger breakfast sandwich. From NYC to Los Angeles I have found several places with bacon egg and cheese sandwiches paired with a beverage that run you under $10, here it was close to $20 with no clear distinction why. Avoid. read more

The service is great and the donuts are even better! This is the best donut shop in town

Very good service. Really good variety of donuts. They use very good quality ingredients.

Delicious, wish they had one in the DFW area, which is bereft of good donuts. Got a half dozen and every one of them was large and tasty. read more

Good. And nice they have day old donuts.$4 for a donut and small coffee. you would pay twice as much at a bougie place nearby.

My wife and I enjoy their donuts. Great quality They are always fresh and taste great. read more

I've eaten a lot of donuts in my life. As I've aged, I have significantly reduced my intake to the point that it's now a treat I allow myself once a month or so. We lived in LA for 17 years and moved to the desert three years ago. LA offers many choices when it comes to donuts and I sampled as many as I could over the years. Today, I treated myself and my wife to a mix of Swiss Donut's finest. So far, I've tasted only the maple cruller and it was simply one of the best donuts I've ever had. It was light and buttery with a perfect crust of maple-flavored sweetness. Fantastic! One recommendation for Swiss Donuts (and many other small local businesses): don't charge extra for credit card purchases. I realize there are fees involved that must be covered, but the world has moved on from cash transactions. Just bake it into the price of the donut. (Pun intended). Don't give people a reason to stop and think about the 50 cents. Just give them these fabulous donuts and charge whatever you want! read more

They make a good doughnut, and they are nicely presented. Fast and friendly service. They charge a one dollar convenience fee for credit card purchases, even though they have a sign that says contactless payment preferred. This is both counter to their agreement with the credit card company, and a way for them to have more cash sales so they can reduce the amount of income claimed with the IRS. The transaction merchant fee is just a cost of doing business for all of the restaurants. read more

It's the first day of 2024 and I'm sitting here thoroughly enjoying a hot latte' and a Bear-claw from Swiss Donuts in Palm Desert. Both are so delicious, I had to share. The coffee is super smooth and creamy. Much better than any latte I've had in a long time. I enjoyed every sip. The bear-claw tasted just like the ones my dad would bake on weekends, when I was younger. Brought back great memories and a big smile to start the year of proper. The girl behind the counter is really sweet and I look forward to my next visit when I will definitely be back to try some of the other delicious baked goodies. The croissants looked perfect and there are lots of donuts and other goodies to choose from. read more

Some of the best donuts I've ever had. I'm very picky when it comes to crullers & glazed raised and this location does not disappoint. Highly recommended but be warned--they can sell out of certain styles early in the morning --and I mean early! read more

Go somewhere else. The girl in the front is emotionless. A robot would be more personable. They never have a good selection, even if you get there right as they open, plus they are very expensive. Also, if you get a dozen donuts, you are getting 12 donuts. Most donut shops I go to will at least do a baker's dozen. Winchell's gives you 14. Shoot, Vienna Donuts in Cathedral City will give you 1 or 2 extra donuts and throw a bunch of donut holes on top! read more

Ruined my nephews first birthday. Absolutely terrible experience! I placed a large order for a birthday party weeks in advance, and they canceled it at the very last minute. No explanation, no apology, just a cold "we can't fulfill it." This left me scrambling to find a replacement on the day of the party, which was stressful and completely unnecessary. They didn't even try to offer a solution or help make it right--just zero regard for their customers. If you're relying on them for a special occasion, DON'T. Their lack of professionalism and care ruined what should have been a happy celebration. 0/5 stars. Never again! read more

Donuts were okay but the service was lacking. Requested a jelly filled donut and didn't get one. They were out of all the croissant sandwiches but one. Out of coffee and lids. read more

If you are a donut lover like me, then you must try this place. Always fresh donuts. Lots of variety, too. My favorite is the French donut..light and airy and very much like a cream puff..I prefer glazed. They also have maple and chocolate covered. Their glazed raised donuts are great. The cinnamon rolls are fab also. Great place for great donuts. read more

Just good ears what more can I say? They're just round donuts glazed donuts, cake donuts good breakfast sandwiches just a great place to be clean friendly I hate that. I have to say so many words because what can I say about a doughnut consistently? read more

This review is based on the options for the area, of which, this is the best. No, it's not the best or even close to the best but it's pretty decent. My issue is that there are so many times I've come in quite early and they don't have what I want to order available. I like crumb donut or jelly-filled. read more

Occasionally grab a dozen donuts for coworkers from here and they're delicious everytime. Additionally all of the workers are always super friendly and provide great customer service! read more

Yuck and waste of money. I have been wanting to grab something here for a while. I finally had a chance today and was totally disappointed. First, the cashier up charged both of my items, then charged a fee to use my card, and then charged tax. The croissant, bacon, egg and cheese was served in a little cardboard tray in a plastic bag. No napkins. Gross. And the sandwich had no taste whatsoever. Eggs must be powdered - no salt and pepper. Couldn't taste the cheese and could barely taste the bacon. Overall, a waste of money. read more

Rude service and when I took a bite of one my donuts it tasted like chemicals. Bad experience, would not recommend.

9I just had the best yeast/raised donut I have had in a long time. It was light, airy, flavorful and BIG! Ok, lesbehonest....I had two donuts; a glazed and a maple long john. Can 1 donut just replace each of my meals, please? It did NOT leave shortening-residue feeling on the rough of my mouth. Score! They had so many to choose from. Bonus; the make a very tasty bagel breakfast sandwich (can also be made on a croissant). Bonus bonus; they have 6 different types of brewed coffee to choose from (self serve) including decaf and a couple flavored ones! AND if espresso is your thang, they've got that too. AND they serve up Big Train Boba drinks. AND they're open til 8pm (they lovely girl who attended me told me they're the only donut shop open until 8pm instead of 2pm! Woop woop!) Yup, this little unassuming donut shop packs a punch. Bagel sandwich with ham, egg and sausage Glazed donut Maple Long John Bottled OJ $11 Duh I'll be back. (Sorry the menu pics are blurry, I was carrying a squirming baby. Hopefully the zoomed in pics help a bit for now. I'll take some fresh pics next time.) read more

Donuts are just average at best (dry not fresh), kind of like the employees. No greeting, did not listen to what I wanted, but because I'm nice I tipped 5$ on a 9$ purchase. Not even a thank you, literally said nothing. This happened twice by the way, different cashiers. I always give places two shots. This goes for about 90% of small stores In Palm desert. read more

I came here on National Donut Day during my lunch break (I was running late so I couldn't get donuts in the morning) but even tho it was late in the donut day, they still had a good variety of donuts! Everyone at the office wanted a specific type of donut (of course), but fortunately they had each kind! The donuts are made fresh every morning. Love their jelly filled donuts and maple bars. Their apple fritters are huge! I wish there was a donut shop closer to Cook Street, but this one is definitely a good little donut shop. There's Swiss Donuts literally all over the donut and I think they're all good. I've never had their breakfy sandwiches but they look good! read more

Swiss Donuts - On National Donut Day - Donuts Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Stopped into this fabulous donut shop just to check things out after having Sushi next door while on vacation in the Palm Springs area. It was almost closing time and had the chance to speak with the owner who was most delightful. Although it was late the donuts looked fresh and delicious and they were huge. They had two of my favorite varieties Old Fashioned and the most incredible Apple Fritters that I have seen in a long time. The owner told me that they started the donut making process at around midnight in order to be ready for the morning rush. We also bought some glazed donuts that although were huge they were light as a feather. I am glad that we stopped by to pickup a few treats for breakfast. They went great with my morning coffee. read more
