    After hearing such great reviews about this place I was certainly disappointed by my experience. I stopped in to get donuts for my family and was thrilled when I saw they had gluten free. I ordered the vanilla donut with prickly pear icing. You can only imagine my disappointment when I received my donut and it was not even fully iced. A few strips of icing to me is not what a donut is meant to be. The taste of the gluten free donut itself did not make up for the lack of icing. I’m sure the regular donuts are quite yummy, just not the place to go for a gluten free donut.

    Locally owned and operated business with craft donuts and decent espresso. (Anyone who follows James Hoffmann show love for coffee). Many interesting flavor combinations with the donuts but tried the standard cake maple glazed. Excellent. Not heavy, nor overly sweet. The glaze had real maple. Definitely worth a stop. Staff friendly and courteous, facility clean.

    The big double decker bus in the parking lot caught my attention. So cool. The donut 🍩 shop is quaint, warm and welcoming. Dining in is allowed. The staff are friendly. The donuts are hand made and the TLC in that process adds just the right seasoning. The dough is soft and melts in your mouth. The coffee was spot on. The flavor profile is smooth and rich. The price is in line with a quality product without being pretentious and over priced. Plus, is you buy two donuts and a drink you get 10% off your order. That's a deal since I was going to buy just that regardless. When I am on that end of Comanche I will make it a point to stop and get some donuts.

    Good place to hang out, have good coffee and good quality donuts 🍩. They also have good tea, coffee and espresso. They do have delicious gluten-free donuts in here. Staff is very friendly and informative. The bus is their signature trademark. I would bring my family and friends here.

    I’d like to write a better review because the shop is cute and convenient, but my husband and I went in and ordered 4 donuts. A double chocolate, a maple, cinnamon sugar and vanilla swirl. All were completely flavorless. Even the chocolate. How can a double chocolate donut not taste at all of chocolate? Same with the maple. Absolutely no maple flavor whatsoever. Worst part…it was over $14 for 4 flavorless donuts.

    The donuts were really good! We got cinnamon sugar, maple and a salted butter. They were really good. The outside was crispy, and the inside was soft. My partner got a coffee and said it was good. The staff was very friendly. The woman who was our cashier was sweet, knowable and helpful. The donuts and coffee were a little expensive. We got 6 donuts and a small coffee and it was $20 before tip. When we went the selection was very minimal but we also went around 12:30 so it was to be expected and our fault. All in all I really enjoyed this cute spot.

    My husband brought us here excited. He said they remind him of some donuts we had at the Oregon coast. However we walked in and the selection was picked over and the donuts we did have, tastes stale. The tables were dirty and the bathrooms were out of both toilet paper and soap. Post COVID and no soap?! Sadly we won’t be coming back. Interesting that I get an excuse for a low supply, but not to the stale donuts. I appreciate the response from the owner, but sorry doesn’t feed the bulldog. I felt like we got served yesterdays leftovers. Nothing like traveling all the way across town for a stale, flavorless donut. We won’t be coming back.

    Let me start off by stating this: I have never left a review for doughnuts. . . Until NOW. A total diamond in the rough! I left there spending more than expected, but I wanted to treat my son's academy staff, which a dozen of these delicacies did the trick. I couldn't resist getting me a Cinnamon Roll and him a chocolate sprinkle doughnut. I left his academy 5 minutes ago and had to post this before starting my day at work. I have had ONE bite of my fresh Cinnamon Roll (pictured)..... WOW! I thought Great Harvest was the best in town... NOT A CHANCE!!! They have the cinnabon frosting taste, and the flaky yeast texture that grandma used to make for special occasions... they are -by far- the best I have ever tasted. Grandma would be envious of these, rest her soul! Thank you, Bristol!! These are my new bi-weekly cheat pastry on my Keto diet!

    I absolutely adore this donut/coffee shop! Great selection of donuts. Love the atmosphere of the sitting areas. As a celiac, I appreciate their attention to detail when it comes to cross contamination. For their gluten free donuts, they cook them in their own separate trays. They are kept away from the other donuts and they are glazed to order with a lot of different frosting options. Even the frosting is kept in a separate area. When preparing, they also wipe down the counter and change gloves! This will become my new coffee place and I look forward to coming back. A+ for the inclusivity this shop showed to those with food restrictions.

    Weird location but great doughnuts. I enjoy Bristol's bus, but haven't gone in quite awhile because diabetes is always in the hunt. Anyways, we just happened to stumble across their brick and mortar on our way to a local cactus store. Smelled delicious and caved to my sweet tooth. As tasty as I remembered and a nice selection of doughnuts as well. Next time you find yourself near the 10,000 block of Commanche, divert and go have a sweet treat.

    Cute place! Music that is not overpowering, wifi that is consistent, donuts that are mouth watering and lattes that are robust… this was a great little nook. Studying/work: Went here to study and the only thing lacking from getting 5 stars is the lack of plugs to charge. Bakery: since it was my first time here, I might not have known about the most popular donut… seems many people came in for a certain one and they were sold out. Get there early if you want first pick- but I was not disappointed with the cinnamon donut… so there are other great options🤷🏻‍♀️😊 I will be back and you should too!

    The Prickly Pear and Cinnamon rolls were amazing, even for getting them in the late morning hours. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only warning is if you order only line, they may not have what you order. We ordered our items online before picking up but the online menu is not accurate or kept up to date. They ended up not having what we ordered online and what was marked as out of stock they did have. The employee said that has happen a lot at that time. My advice is to order in person.

    Stopped in yesterday (National Donut Day) late in the morning. They were low on doughnuts and I picked up a half dozen of what they had available. I was told if I waited for a bit, they had some guava filling ready to go and would prepare some fresh doughnuts. Absolutely delicious and worth the wait! Definitely will be back!

    Instantly fell in love with this doughnut shop. Awesome flavors like prickly pear and even vegan options! The coffee also delivers. There is a nice ambiance to the store, which makes it pleasant to sit in. Ideal for conversations with friends, reading, or just getting out to a place where people are passionate and friendly. And the double decker bus outside! Who doesn't enjoy walking up to a local shop with so much charm and character?

    My kids love the double decker bus! We stopped today and were able to eat the bus 😊😊 we loved it !

    Came in and ordered 4 donuts and 2 drip coffee’s. The clerk said I’ll bring the coffee’s out to you. After waiting a while I asked about the coffee’s and he pointed to two cups that were sitting on the counter. No one called out our name and we had no idea they were ours! The drip coffee was extremely bitter and lukewarm! The donuts, which had been our favorite in Albuquerque, were mediocre and cold. Such a bitter disappointment! We left the coffee and threw away the donuts. Such a waste of money!
