Always friendly, always fresh, this is a fantastic neighborhood donut shot. I went in for Halloween and they were right on theme with their donut styles. They always have delicious, classic donut shot coffee, always rich and hot. This type of donut shoot is hard to find these days! read more

Went in at 9:30 on a weekday and asked for a dozen and a half glazed donuts. Owner would not sell me a dozen and a half. She tried to get me to buy some cake donuts. He reason for not selling me a dozen and a half? She said that "these are all I have and I have to be here until 1:00." I politely said "ok, thanks...I'm good," started to leave the store and she said "Fine, you don't know what you're missing." Weirdest interaction I've ever had. I drove 2 miles to the Donut Maker...Excellent service. I'll not go back to The Donut...and I cannot recommend it. read more

Fast prompt service even though they were busy. Delicious donut. Will need to return soon.

Delicious donuts, older shop, nice enough people, slightly weird vibe. Not much discount for a dozen ($1 off). The office plebs were pleased. read more

What a nice surprise! I hadn't been in for a long time, so was surprised to find it under new ownership. It has a new, sunnier, look and the folks working there were very friendly. I'm also happy to report that the donuts are just as good as they used to be, with just as many varieties as before if not more. I'm talking a big variety here. I particularly liked the apple fritter, which was perhaps the best I've ever had -- with the perfect amount of fried crispiness with the glaze not overdone, and the inside with just the right of amount of dough to apple cooked perfectly. I noticed they offer kolaches on weekends, so I thought I'd try one and was happy I did. Essentially a giant pig-in-a-blanket, it was a jalapeno cheese dog wrapped in a dough, then baked. Crispy on the outside with a not-too-thick dough enveloping a really flavorful dog. Very nice, and actually tasty for breakfast! Nice job all around. I will be going back.... frequently. read more

Worth the trip! I've been looking for exactly this. A very good donut. Cake donuts are thick but not too heavy. The chocolate has a real cocoa flavor. The app poke filled has a crunchy typing and isn't overpoweringly sweet. I WILL be back! read more

Great donuts and very friendly staff. Will have to check out the gigantic head size donut next time we are in town.

This is a small family run business. I have known the owners for about 10 years now on a business / semi-personal level and they are really great people. Along with the donuts being the best around, they also serve lunch items; mostly Greek food. Both the donuts and the gyros are huge, fresh and delicious. The french fries are specially seasoned. The donuts are a tad more than what you would pay at the grocery store but are well worth it. The lunch items are competitively priced. Maybe one of the reasons I like this place as much as I do aside from the food are the people. I strongly believe in supporting good service. Too many times we go to places and receive horrible service; yet for some reason we continue to go back. This is one place that regardless of whether or not the food is the best you have ever had, the owners make it worth going back again. read more

Needed to order 7 dozen donuts for my office, all red white and blue for a themed event. The Donut was so willing to help me out and I love that this place is a classic donut shop with the old-timers in the morning enjoying their coffee, everyone as friendly as can be. They always help me to my car with my crazy large order! This isn't your fancy crazy topping donut shop, if you're looking for that look somewhere else. This is classic, old fashioned, friendly people, and a great local business to support read more

After reading some of the reviews I decided to check this place out. I picked up a bear claw and cinnamon roll. These were two of the best donuts I've ever had. They were still warm and melted in my mouth. I got to talk to the owner and he gave me a blueberry donut because it was my first time. I will definitely be back. Delicious donuts. read more

I've been all over and eaten a lot of donuts; but this is the BEST place! The donuts are amazing and the owners are so kind! My grandfather went to this shop every day when he was still alive. We come from Kansas City to visit family and always come by here several times during our trip. read more

These are the best donuts I've ever had. They are light and fluffy and the frosting is just sweet enough. Anytime I'm in the area before 11am I stop to grab one. My personal favorite is the glazed apple Bear claw. read more

If I can describe the definition of how a donut should be, the donut surpasses it. Great customer service and great freshly prepared donuts. Recommend it read more

Just went for the first time and had a great experience. Super nice and friendly people working there. It's definitely not a shiny new modern donut shop which I loved. Reminded me of donut shops and bakeries growing up. Coffee was perfect and simple and we found the donuts to be delicious and classic. We will definitely be back! read more

Great donuts and wonderful service; a true mom-and-pop shop ... disclaimer: I have no clue if mom and pop run this place. I can say they aren't my mom and pop. The assortment offered is fairly standard, but also plentiful, fresh and fairly priced. FYI: No cc accepted for orders under $5; a half-dozen is $5.50...just do it, porky. Like my junior prom date: It didn't look like much from outside, but inside it's delicious. I'll be back ... much to my CrossFit coaches' chagrin. read more

Simply the best cake bs old fashioned donuts in the country. Treat your self right and try a chocolate or glazed old fashion donut here. Everything is made I house by a nice couple who have served this community for years. This is a great example of a special small neighborhood business. Service and food are great. Great for family friends and great for co-workers and customers. read more

we are new to the Denver/englewood area. we work all over the country and the all classic donut is difficult to find. After trying a few other donut shops in the area we have found our favorite! The Donut... in the early am we look forward to our weekly warm bear claw with apple filling topped with a scrumptious crumble! delicious and worth the drive! read more

I've been going to the Donut since I was in high school. This place used to be a Winchells and the interior hasn't been updated since the change. The donuts are delicious and the best I've ever had. The interior of the place needs to be redone, as it looks very 1970s. read more

Wow the people in this mom and pop store are amazing and kind! The donuts are super yummy

My favorite..cake donuts with sprinkles abound here. I am pretty much of the opinion that any doughnut is a good doughnut, but these are better than average...really hit the spot! read more

Best donut I've had in I don't know how long. Maple bar was so light and fluffy on the inside and rich and crunchy on the outside. Perfect!

This place makes the best donuts around! They open nice and early and are always very friendly.

My daughters and I often ride bikes to this family owned donut shop. They always have a great selection, and we haven't had anything that wasn't great. The employees are very nice, and are great with my girls as they change their minds numerous times! Great local gem in Centennial! read more

Awesome selection of traditional donuts and great service! Clean place and great local spot.

Best donuts in town! HANDS DOWN!! We've been coming here for atleast 15 years, the same family owns and runs the shop now

I love this place. I have been going for years. The chocolate bear claws are my favorite. If you like donuts, you will love THE DONUT. It is a family owned business with a great selection. Let me know if this review was helpful, read more

I stopped in today to get donuts for work. I needed 36 and knew it was a lot. The seemed fine with the amount until I started giving amounts. I was told I could not have may maple ok lets go with more glazed. Then i was told i was getting a lot of glazed. I asked for a couple sprinkled and was asked if I was getting them for kids or the adults. It was very disappointing as our family goes here on weekends and I wanted to give the small business my business. I will go elsewhere next time since it was inconvenient. They had plenty of donuts they were not running low. read more

I've been buying donuts from Eddie for nearly 30 years. I used to have my office across the street from his shop and would walk over to get a twist a couple times a week. A few years later I moved the office some distance away, however, I still make a point of going to buy donuts from him. They are simply the best. This guy has gone up against all the major chains and stayed in business all these years. I think that says it all about the quality of his product. read more

This place is truly a gem! If your looking for a traditional donut shop with phenomenal customer service, this is the place for you. I will definitely be back. read more

This is the BEST donut shop in Denver!! Don't waste your time by going anywhere else! Eddie makes the donuts fresh everyday starting at 2am; starts serving at 5am.. Don't waste your money or taste buds at those "factory" shop! It doesn't get any better than this!!! Love them donuts!! Bob read more

The cake donuts here are the best I've ever had. The crumb cake donut is a must-try. We have been coming here for years and even have a tradition of taking out-of-town guests on a walk to The Donut. Always worth the walk. read more

So bad for me, but so good! They gave us free donuts since first time and I bought even more. Even the kind I do not like were good. One issue would be to get some blinds or something to block sun when people decide to stay and eat at the tables. read more

This is also another one of those great neighborhood place that had been around forever. Their donuts are to die for. It's great for my morning stroll. I think it is much better than any major chain. Friendly service and great donuts. read more

I love this place, but I always forget about it when I go out for a quick breakfast. If you have never been there then go since the donuts are awesome. read more

I'm a donut fanatic and am very choosy. We came upon this wonderful shop. The donuts are absolutely delicious! The staff is so incredibly nice as well. It's hard to find A place with nice staff. Such a great place! Wonderful donuts! read more

I've only been here once (for coffee & donuts) but the experience was great so I'm sure I"ll be back. The Donut is a little local place close by my house. They are currently celebrating their 20 yr anniversary and I can see why. The family that owns and operates this shop is very warm and friendly. They are willing to answer any questions your have on their large variety of donuts and don't rush you if you are like me -a kid in well a donut shop, looking wide eyed at each freshly made treat. I opted for one of their apple fritters and Mmm was it ever so tasty. The coffee is also very good there and doesn't taste mass brewed like some donut shops. They also sell lunch items like gyros & fries but I am yet to try them. I am very glad I have found such a yummy donut shop so close to home as nothing beats a lazy Sunday morning w/ a fresh donut, a warm cup of coffee while perusing the Sunday paper! read more

The Donut is this little family-owned shop in this strip mall area. I consider myself a donut connoisseur so I feel qualified to say that the cake donuts here are the best I've ever had. The donuts are a bit pricier than other shops, but they are good-sized and very dense. It's a bit out of my way but I will definitely be back to partake in more heavenly creations here. read more

When I moved here a year ago, I searched for the best donut shop near my house and lucky for me I found The Donut. I have been to this shop many times and purchased both donuts and coffee. The donuts are the best and the coffee is good. I have tried several different donuts and they have all been delicious. They always smell and taste fresh. The gals at the counter are always very nice. read more

Definitely a local doughnut shop, I think these are the best doughnuts in south Denver. Great variety, special flavors on the weekends, not at all dry like so many of the doughnuts here. Friendly employees, sweet woman who owns and cooks the donuts. Credit cards must spend $5. read more

Hands down the best donuts in the city. Always friendly. I like that it's family owned and operated.
