I am commanded to grab donuts by my four year old. I search for the nearest one and Variety Donuts pop up. They close at 12:00pm so I have to be quick to get on the road to make it before they close. The person working is very nice and influenced me to come back a second time and to continue to come here. So easy for my four year old to choose which donut she wants to try and eats most of it when we arrive at home. The ambiance is just like any other donut shop, quiet with the smell of fresh baked goods. Parking is not too bad, since it's early, there should be a lot of parking. read more

I decided to stop by after ordering food nearby for lunch. We ordered a maple and chocolate bar. Donut was delicious. The flavor was there but texture could be a little fluffier. Inside is quite small and service was good. read more

Same owner as City Donuts! Nice woman who we saw behind the counter at City Donuts. We were looking for old-fashioned cinnamon rolls which she said they don't have yet, so we got a couple things to go; apple fritter and donut holes. Taste was the same as anywhere, very convenient location. The shop seemed like it's been around a very long time, name peeling off of the front door, paper signs inside, no seating, storage behind the counter. read more

I got 3 glazed donuts and they were too rich to start on the 2nd one. Some places make them better; this isn't the place...

Got two dozen donuts for the office for my birthday. Was $30 (a bit pricey I thought) The guy gave me an extra one as they were out of glazed. But sad they didn't have any glazed or donut Holmes....but it was a Friday and the guys said it was really busy. He was very friendly, quick and a good business man lol. I intended to only get one dozen but he convinced me to get two, haha. read more

I've purchased donuts for my staff and families for work at least 20 times in the past 3 years and this place is my go to. The owner is so kind and welcoming. I literally have his shop programmed into my phone and can just text him my order in the morning and know he will always have it ready to go at the requested time. My staff was always pleased by the quality and freshness, too. The shop is nothing fancy. Each time I go in, I'm checked over by the crowd of regulars of the older, male, retired persuasion. :) Not offensive, you can just tell that this place is part their regular routine and they are interested in the goings-on of their shop. Usually one or two of them politely offer to help me load my boxes into my car. I'm honored by the courtesy. Always bemused by the open carton of half-and-half in the beverage bin. Speaks to a casual, familial atmosphere of not putting on airs and what's mine is yours. Buy your coffee and touch it up how you like, as you like. I really enjoy this place, its crowd, and its owner. read more

It's nice to walk in here in the morning and seeing people start their day. The man who works the front is friendly and there is a great selection. Hooked me up with some extra donuts too. That's the kind of gesture that'll keep you coming back. Donuts were on point too. read more

My first (of hopefully many) visit to Variety Donuts happened today. Guy was super welcoming, friendly and generous. A trip to the donut shop should always hit the right spots emotionally and boy did it. One happy (and tubby) camper right HERE *points to self with both thumbs* read more

Great service and gave an extra doughnut after I bought a dozen. Wasn't much left at 945am on a Sunday though. But I'll definitely come back. read more

I brought two boxes I large and small. I was shocked that it came to $ 40. Bucks, but the place is very clean and the owner is a very sweet man also read more

I was trying to find a local doughnut store closer to me in West Sacramento. I just moved here not long ago. I walked into this place around 5:30 am I guess opening time. I was greeted by this very friendly guy who was the part owner of this establishment. They had a very few dohnuts on display and I bought two sugar tossed doughnuts. They were amazing and very flavorful. Sadly I had to stay up late again to get in on their amazing fluffy goodness that only these guys can provide. I asked him why doesn't he stay open later and all day?Come on , this place is fantastic. Great tasting and please adjust your hours so we can have you all day. Thank you for being so nice in the morning. You made my day!! read more

The employees were super friendly which is always a plus. Also, these donuts are MASSIVE. On top of that, they threw a couple extra in my box. I literally couldn't even shut it close. I will be coming back. Official spot for donut runs at the office from now on! read more

Variety Donuts - HUGE donuts. - Donuts Near Me - West Sacramento, California

I love this place!! Convienient, just a block from the highway. Each donut it 3.5 lbs (ok, maybe a bit less) and a work of art not to mention taste amazing. I've been back everyday this week for a dozen for my class and don't want to leave! The owner takes pride in everything he does and the usual gang of retirees has been there every morning with friendly banter and welcoming chit chat. Feels like the old times when my grandpa used to take me to his favorite coffee shop! read more

The guy that owns and runs this place is awesome and the donuts just as awesome as well, it's a must try if you haven't been here.

Great donuts great variety fair prices and the donuts taste nice ppl generally not a long wait times

Just another shop. Another bike ride. Another mundane trip down memory lane. But what I'm enjoying about this brief stint without the usual issues is that so far I've yet to be hit from behind and second, I've noticed that men are more forgiving when I'm attempting to cross a busy street. They actually stop and wave me through. Not with my brother. They forget he's part of the two wheeled construct and usually almost hit him and I know this because I can then hear his cursive stream echoing behind me. Variety Donuts is exactly that. While I've consumed and acquired the pounds and sweet tooth usually associated with these food lists, I would have to state that they offer a generic variety of donuts ranging from the usual cake donuts to funky snails slathered with glaze and still my favorite, the glazed buttermilk loaf. Staff here are jovial and I enjoyed sitting, munching, and observing the movements of people out and about their business. My buttermilk loaf was pretty good, but there was just a little too much crunch to the sides. I'm not too inclined towards a crinkly donut. Fries, sure, but not donuts :) If you come early in the morning like we did, there is a slight crowd of locals and consistent clients that know exactly what they want and how many: one two three dozen for work and other social fits of sugared fancy. Looks like a few more shops to hit while my donut list continues to grow....... read more

Came here early in the morning last week with my Dad. It's his go-to stop for quality morning donuts. Decided to share with his favorite location and spend some time together and since I had just gotten off work (10 hr. swing shift) he thought to treat me out for breakfast just a bit. I didn't order much just some glazed donut holes and chocolate donut with sprinkles. My Dad got a cinnamon bun and a dozen other donuts to take home to Mom and my bro. I love the donuts here and any time with my Dad is more than welcome. 5 stars for Variety! read more

Variety Donuts - Boston creme is scrumptious! - Donuts Near Me - West Sacramento, California

I stop here every time I have a special work meeting. Owners are super kind, and donuts are amazing and huge, and not crazy expensive. Love this place read more

I have been to this donut shop a couple of time. The donuts are your average donuts you would get at the grocery store bakery but its fresh. They have all your standards, glazed, sugar, chocolate, cinnamon twist, old-fashion, and cake donuts. The prices are very good, around $.75 for a donut when I was there. The store looks old on the inside and outside, when I was there there were a lot of elderly people in there drinking coffee, eating donuts, and reading the paper. They looked like they were probably regulars. read more

Work brought these in for breakfast and ordered 4 dozen. I was told they love this place but I did not. Maybe it was an off day but they tasted like day old donuts. Very dry and dense. I usually just get a regular plain glaze but the glaze was wet and melted like you see in the grocery store at the end of the day. They were also about 10% more in cost vs. comparable donut shops in the area but also told they throw in a few extra. I guess that is one way to build sales. Meh ... probably will not return on my own. Just an average donut. read more

Love this place. The guy working is always so nice and a large variety of donuts to choose from but even better than that is that they are absolutely delicious. No matter what one you choose and they are filling and generous on size. Not greasy or heavy at all. Hands down best donuts in the area. read more

Donuts are excellent here. Perfect for those early morning meetings and I can't even begin to say how nice they are. Always greeted with a smile and patience as I peruse the finite selection. read more

The donuts here are really good! The owner is very nice and threw in a couple of extra donuts for us. I would definetly come here again!

I always come here when I crave a donut at work. This guy is really nice and gives you lots for your money. For example, just got 1 chocolate bar, 1 chocolate donut, and he threw in a glaze donut all for $1.75. Who does that?! Donuts taste fresh and delicious! read more

Soft donuts I ever had. Good service with yummy donuts is a bomb. I highly recommend this place.

This is the best general purpose donut shop I have found between Dixon and the Sacramento river. The donuts, fritters, raisin bars, twists, and all the other delicious items smell and taste fresh. Service is friendly, and there is usually a convivial neighborhood crowd in the morning. Even though the lot is small, I've never had a problem parking. A big plus is the staff - friendly and efficient, with a good sense of humor. read more

It's not bad. When I showed up (around 9:30am) there wasn't much to choose from. All I wanted was a French Cruller and they were out of 'em. But the Apple Fritters looked delicious so I took one, and it wasn't half bad. That was two stars worth. And the pretty girl behind the counter that smiled when she helped me......definately worth another star. But alas, no crullers. I"ll try again, cause when I'm on a cruller binge I won't stop till I'm satisfied. read more

I care take an elderly couple who've been house-bound for a few years. The last couple months they've had a hankerin' for maple bars, so I've been swinging into this donut shop three times a week. The guy who runs the place is super nice, always smiles, has a good sense of humor and throws in an extra donut on each visit. I feel like he's a bartender, remembering my order each visit. =) Mr. & Mrs. G don't want me going anywhere else...they prefer these donuts and they're much larger in size than the grocery store donuts. The maple bars are a buck a pop. read more

I love this place, the donuts are fresh and tasty and the customer service i recieved today was excellent. I would definetly recommend this place!!! read more
