This is a husband and wife donut shop with fresh hot coffee. I love to stop in to grab a few donut holes with Kona coffee on my way to work. I told both of them I'm going to check-in to let all my Yelp friends know where I am. Them I love! read more

Without asking, they charged an additional $1.00 for using a credit card! At 4%, their "credit card fees" are at most 12¢ cents for a $3.00 donut. Why not just sell the donut for $3.12? That'd be nicer. read more

New customer here. I purchased about 8 Donuts. Buttermilk, Blue berry fritter and many cake donuts. Flaky and Well made. I will be a regular customer now on. The people are very nice too. read more

Friendly service, and good donuts, you could tell they were made fresh that day. They do pass on the credit card fee to customers so I was grateful to have cash. Sorry no photos. read more

Our go-to place for donuts! Cheap prices and good quality, we love getting their egg, ham, & cheese sandwich. The owners are friendly and they always have so much in stock. Usually there's lots of regulars here in the morning. It's pretty clean and organized inside. If you want a reliable donut shop, visit Tan's donuts! read more

I don't know what all these idiots are leaving bad reviews for. The two sons are the second generation to work at 2 locations. Their mom and dad are awesome and they are awesome too. They are polite and awesome. Their donuts are the best in town. I made donuts for 2 years so I can say that. They make the best blueberry fritters, and the best cake Donuts in town. Their French Crullers are bomb! Don't believe the haters and go get a smile and a donut read more

1 star I had a terrible experience here. I came in just trying to buy a dozen donuts, but the pricing was totally unclear. I was shocked when they tried to charge me $34 for one dozen -- way overpriced and not listed clearly anywhere. While I was standing there, the wife was yelling at the husband nonstop, making the whole place super uncomfortable. Then they both turned around and started talking trash about me in another language I couldn't understand -- for what, I have no idea. I was just trying to order politely and asked why the price was so high To top it off, when I left, they started talking trash about me to another customer right in front of the store. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful. I won't be coming back -- and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

The best donuts at a great price point. It is worth the drive. Unlike some donut shop that have drifted more to chocolate melts and apple fritters without the apples. Tan's continue the old school donut flavors. read more

Great, classic donuts, perfect for that morning dozen and the Coffee selection is one of the best grab and go drip coffees in town

I went to this donut shop 2 times and bought the same donuts both times. I used my credit card each time. The second time I visited they said it cost $7.75 same as before. Then they charged me $8.75 without telling me. I asked, "it was $7.75 right?" They said no, I charged you and extra dollar because you used your card. I just checked my card and the charge is $9.10. Not honest business. I will not be going back to this donut shop again. read more

We have been going here more, along with other doughnut places, in the last couple years or so since the closure of Doughnut Cafe has left a big gap for us. I have recently found their doughnuts to be better than they were years ago, I would say generally good to very good, but still not great. It may also be that they simply seem better by comparison to some other places we have tried recently. We just had several doughnuts: glazed old-fashioned, glazed raised, chocolate raised, maple bar, custard-filled chocolate, and blueberry fritter. All of these were good. The fritter has nice texture, crunchy on the outside, nicely soft and moist inside, It had good flavour and plenty of glaze sweetness. It was a touch too sweet but that's better than being too bland or bad otherwise. 3.5 The old fashioned was very good, the best of the lot, with nice texture, good "old fashioned flavour." 4.5 - 5 stars. The raised doughnuts were all very good with good texture - a bit crisp on the outside, sift on the inside and not too airy or too dense, not dry. They had a touch of nice fried character and plenty of glaze or frosting on them. 4 stars. read more

Donuts are decent but I witnessed a scene with an older man which made me walk out and never will return to this location. The gentleman ordered three donuts, minor miscommunication unhinged the younger son to the point he was visibly angry and rude. read more

Airiest, maple bars ever. Open later than most doughnut shops, with some of the freshest doughnuts I've ever had. It has quickly become a Friday ritual (oop) for my husband and I. read more

Good donuts! Not overpriced! Down-to-earth, friendly people! No "attitude!" I was there this morning, and the line was almost out the door. This place is the real deal. No-nonsense product and service. Check it out!! read more

Overpriced, not fresh and not very polite service. There are other bakeries nearby. Pass this one up.

Came to Tans Donuts on a whim. I was leaving Grocery Outlet and wanted a quick pastry. To my surprise they had my favorite type of donut chocolate frosted with sprinkles! They were actually heart shaped donuts. Because of the shape might have been a bit smaller than if it was the full ring size. So that was a plus that I could have my favorite donut. First it was $2.50, not entirely disappointing as I'm sure this is a family owned establishment and this economy gets crazier by the day but don't think I'm paying that at my donut shop I frequent often (Fresh Donuts). It's when I go to pay I whip out my card, because it is 2025 after all and then I'm told it would be $3.50. I'm all for supporting local businesses and their efforts to stay in business but a dollar fee seems a bit excessive for credit card use. I did surprisingly have cash to pay for my donut and did enjoy it. It's not in my neighborhood so most likely I won't becoming back. Have cash when getting donuts here. read more

What happened to the old fashioned donuts? They used to have some crispy crunchiness, and the last 3 times I was there, they were just soft. So disappointing. All their other donuts seem to be fine. I wish I could just get a chocolate old fashioned donut that didn't suck. read more

I can't speak for their service as my coworker just went and got a mixed box. My favorite Chocolate covered custard filled came in the shape of a heart for Valentine's Day. Corny but cute and still super delicious. The custard isn't the normal you get at every shop it has a hint of vanilla to it. My coworker always comes back happier than he was before so I'm assuming (not a car stretch) that he shared a joke with the employees. He is very out spoken if it is a bad encounter. Fairly easy to get to as it is on a main road that connects down town to East Santa Rosa. read more

These are the best donuts I've had in a while. I rolled up on a perfectly beautiful Sunday morning and picked up a few different types. Light, fluffy and sweet. Another thing I liked about their donuts is that the sprinkles are crunchy! Not soggy, not stale. Five stars. read more

I called ahead and sent my husband in to pick up two dozen donuts for a volleyball end of season party. The receipt came to $48.88. Photo will be attached. On their menu board it says that one dozen donuts is $15.75, but they charged us $48.88. I called them and left a message they never called me back my husband went in and they said that's what it costs for two dozen donuts. And when I called them he told me the same thing he said that special donuts are $20 a dozen well he didn't put any special donuts in there they were regular old fashion and sprinkle. They have poor customer service and I feel totally ripped off. Go to donut café off of stony point they have really good donuts!! Two dozen mediocre donuts for 50 bucks is a total rip off!! read more

Tan's Donut - 50 bucks for two dozen donuts!! - Donuts Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Rude staff. Not polite. Very impersonal. No Hello, Thanks. I'm a Veteran-have been to many Donut shops-this is one of the Worst! Horrible Service! I think they let their reputation get to their head. Poor Service! read more

Great donuts, good prices, and friendly employees. Easy Forth Street access with ample free parking. This is the best Tan's location. My favorite donut, chocolate old fashioned, is popular and often sold out, so get there early! read more

In June 2014 Yelper Josh D. hit the review of this place right on the head. He said that these are ordinary (bordering on crappy), cheaply priced pastries. We all know that fried dough with a LOT of added sugar is not health food. Commentary as I chew: The chocolate coated old fashioned round cardiac clogger is leaving a mildly greasy aftertaste in my mouth. The apple turnover is stale and tough textured. The apple filling is just glop. In whole the thing is no better (maybe worse) than a Hostess fried pie. I'm buzzing from the sugar rush. Mission accomplished. read more

Lovely Staff, So generous and always give me an extra donut when i come in for a few. The Banh Mi Pork sandwich is the best i've ever had and is a good portion size too! read more

I've been coming here ever since I was a kid, and the quality hasn't declined a bit. The staff are always so friendly and it's just a really great environment. It's a great way to have a delicious, inexpensive breakfast on a special occasion (or if you're just feeling it that day) read more

I Have been going here for years. I have been faithful to them. Now they charge for everything. 50 cents for their boxes and a dollar for their usage of atm. They also practically doubled their prices. I know times are hard but I am not going somewhere that nickel and dimes you to death. Times are hard for everyone. read more

Meh...that is about as far as I would go for this review. Yes, to the point and lackluster! Tan's has been around as long as I have remember and honestly I have never really stopped by. Early morning pickup turned into a disappointing reminder that age/experience does not always win in the case of doughnut making! First and foremost, bring cash...man I am tired of cash only facilities. I rarely carry it on me unless I know I will be tipping somewhere after a visit, but not expecting to carry it on me for a doughnut run. Millenial rant aside, I had some cash on me, enough for a half dozen, so I was ready to do some damage, but in calorie stacking followed by a massive sugar rush. The staff was pretty quiet and really not too into helping me decide from the ample selection, but I went with my known favorites, yeah I am looking at you maple doughnut! Price was about what I'd expect for the area, so no complaints there, but the quality is really where it fell flat. I am by no means a doughnut connoisseur, but I have devoured quite a few in my lifetime, so I can tell lousy ones versus quite scrumptious ones pretty easily. Tan's really did not pack that punch and fell quite short, and honestly my coworkers agreed and urged me to stop a local shop next time. So semi long story short, not the biggest fan, but it does edge out the local grocery store doughnuts on quality, but not price. read more

Donuts are always great. The service is always friendly. Have been going here for years.

Honestly, I think this is the closest donut shop in my general vicinity. I've been here at least 3 times, actually... since moving to NorCal. It's an "okay" donut shop. I actually like another one down the street better... but location location location was not on my side today. They have a selection of donuts ONLY, and a few flavored coffees. I didn't get the coffee today, because I can get a cup where I currently reside for free- and their flavored coffees come out of a machine. I asked for a dozen here, and their dozen doesn't include my personal favorite, or my husbands... therefore I had to buy over 1/2 a dozen... and I didn't like that... nor does this shop give you a bonus donut, like the other shops... Oh well- I got my sweet tooth craving satisfied- that was today's goal. read more

Tan's Donut is legit OG donut shop. My wife hates donuts and even she couldn't resist a Tan's old fashioned. I had the glazed crumb donut which was out of this universe and my buddy Owen got a glazed donut. Everyone is happy now and that's what you want from a Thursday rainy morning donut. Great selection and the fresh ones were still coming out mid-morning. Heard the fritters are the bomb, I'll be trying those next. Great family donut shop. read more

First and last time going here. Their donuts are not good. Everything else said negatively about this place wouldn't matter (cash only, unfriendly staff) if the donuts actually tasted good but they don't. They leave a weird aftertaste in your mouth! So gross, we didn't even finish them. Dont waste your money here...even if it is cheap. read more

The donuts are pretty good, but then it is hard to argue with donuts, right? The décor looks like it has not been updated since the 1970's -- and maybe it has not. It is kind of dingy and dumpy and looks like it could use a could scrubbing and a fresh coat of paint. The folks working there always seem like they would rather be somewhere else. Bottom line, get your donut and get out. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend, go somewhere else. read more

I went there today to get donut holes. They are usually pretty tasty crispy icing on the outside and light and fresh on the inside. Previously when I went there The lady gave me donut holes from a bag sitting on the counter and those were less appealing. So today I asked her to get them from there display and she basically refused and kept telling me they were the same. I went ahead and bought them and my way home eating them I discovered that they were soggy on the outside and chewy. So I called to let them know and the gentleman who answered told me that they're it's humid today and that's why they're soggy. And I told him in the future I would just like mine from the display case and he told me then I can take my business elsewhere if I didn't like how they did business. He also added the excuse of having to been over to get donuts out of the display case and how it was a strain on his back. Mind you the other donuts are in the same display case and he hast to get them out the same way so I don't know if he thinks I'm stupid or he's just lazy. There's also the fact that he set up his store the way he wanted it so if the display case is too low then he should fix it. Either way it's not the customers issue and apparently he doesn't care about having business since he told me to go down the street and get donuts if I didn't like it there. When I called that was not my intent just wanted to let them know that those are soggy and they may want to not sell those to anyone but now I don't want to ever spend a penny there again and if I have my way I'll put some flyers out on everybody's cars to boycott them. Since they don't care about having any business. Oh yeah and he hung up on me after he told me for the third time that I could go somewhere else. Lovely customer service read more

Its okay. Sweet and yummy but the filling does not seem quite as sweet as some places. Service is ok. Lady is kind of crabby. The man in nice. Just came in on a whim. Not sure if i will be back. read more

Best donuts and best priced in Santa Rosa. We drive several miles to come here. Servers are friendly and store is very clean, who could ask for more? read more

I came across reviews for Tan's Donuts and had a chuckle. There have been a half dozen occasions for me to pick up a donuts (casual business meetings) from Tan's and I'm not entirely sure why everyone is raving. The donuts are definitely priced very well but if you think these are super-duper pastries you need to try somewhere not named 7-11. And if you think these guys are making these donuts fresh on a daily basis you are mistaken. I have no problem with Tan's and will continue to pick up donuts there on an irregular basis but let's not go crazy over a standard but inexpensive donut shop. For the record - cake donuts are where it's at. Those Crispy Crème sugar things are a nightmare. read more

These are donut store donuts - hot pink, chocolate, maple and sugary. These reliable breakfast treats are best eaten in bulk, no? The coffee is basic, cheap and hot. I've always had great service from the friendly folks behind the counter. read more

They have the HUEGEST apple fritters I've ever seen. I haven't tried one, I'm intimidated. Apple fritter punked me man. Lets ride on that fool. One other point of note is that they sell various "eggles". Noteworthy if you take the bus to Grocery Outlet then have like 20 or 30 minutes still to wait after shopping for the return bus, since the only other places to eat nearby are Chelino's and the gas station. Otherwise just your typical donut selection and bad coffee. The cake donuts are pretty good. read more

Went there for the first time today. Small, unassuming place but super good donuts. He put them in the cutest pink and white striped box. Will definitely return. read more
