    Fantastic selection of home-made, light and fluffy cake donuts. Many original flavors to choose from, all made to-order so they come out hot and fresh. Great service on the first visit, would 10/10 come back if ever in the area.

    Desert Donuts was amazing for our wedding reception! Jeremy and Cynthia were both incredibly helpful and made the process so easy. The donuts were delicious and a huge hit among the guests! Would highly recommend and we will definitely keep them in mind for any other large events!

    Ordered and enjoyed a half dozen with my wife. Great variety at different price points. Well worth the drive to try a few yourself. Nice to step away from the basics of Dunkin Donuts.

    I can’t say enough good words about this place. I don’t come often to this area but when I do I always try to stop by. Delicious freshly made donuts, fantastic customer service, very kind and welcoming owner. Donuts look and taste amazing, I highly recommend giving them a chance! I bring them to my clients and everyone is impressed and loves them. They make and decorate donuts in front of you so you know they are freshly made!

    Phenomenal and delicious. Super fun vibe and you get to watch the donuts be made right in front of you. Texture is light, fluffy and cakey. The icings and sauces taste great; they don't have that weird artificial taste like most do. The raspberry sauce in particular is amazing, you can tell it's made fresh.

    I absolutely loved this donut shop. I was traveling back to Phoenix from Prescott for an early flight and happened to stumble on this gem when I was in search of coffee. They had just opened at 7 am and I was the first customer of the day. Monica handmade me three donuts, one that I had on the spot and the other two I brought home to NYC to share with my wife and child. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

    Wow! They aren’t joking when they say “made to order donuts”! They have a big menu with a variety of unique flavor choices. You pick what you want to order and a staff member makes it right in front of you. Their warm, fresh donuts are absolutely delicious. If you like spice, try the Jamaican! I don’t know if any other donut will compare to Desert Donuts. The best donut I’ve had in a long time!

    Wow wow wow! I don't think I've ever finished a donut so fast! They put so much time in care into every individual donut which are all hand on the spot! What's even crazier is I had to get back on the road so I got the donut to go and enjoyed it about an hour later, I can only imagine how wonderful they are if enjoyed on the spot! Also the customer service was very enjoyable, and made my morning. Definitely going back, thank you guys! 😋

    Treat. Yo. Self. This unique donut shop is a must visit! Made to order! Warm and delicious. Even the coffee was delicious! I was in the area for a short time, but I know I'll crave Desert Donuts often. Cereal killer was my favorite!

  • 5/5 Cecilia “Mama CeCe” M. 4 months ago on Google
    Loved it! Freshly made while you wait, including gluten-free and dairy-free!!! The gluten-free and dairy-free donuts are not what I expected, they were so soft and moist I forgot they were Vegan! The raspberry sauce was a little too thick to be a dip, but it went very well with the powdered donuts. As far as the regular donuts go, my husband said if you want to fall in love with a donut again please try these.

  • 5/5 Marky M. 8 months ago on Google
    Really good! My stepson loved them too. Got a couple different doughnuts. Had a breakfast doughnut with bacon, egg, and cheese, chocolate, and a cookie monster looking one. The Best one was the lemon doughnut. Would definitely go back for more

  • 5/5 Samantha W. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing! Best donuts I’ve ever had in my entire life. Made fresh and you can customize everything to your liking. Staff was so friendly and helpful. We even got 15% off our order because we got a dozen donuts. We will be back for more!!

    Great place to get a custom donut, good I've coffee and the donut dog was awesome. Well be back!

  • 5/5 Jeff A. 6 months ago on Google
    So many options! Michael was very nice and helpful with our custom choices. The family loved everything. I must give a shout out to the Donut dog. It was awesome!

    There isn’t a single complaint I could have about this place. The owners and staff are SO kind ! They treat my toddler like a normal person and engage him in conversation and encourage him to order his own donuts . They don’t even realize the confidence they’re building in him.. or how thankful this mama is. The menu with pictures is easy to read for those who struggle ( my 4 year old for instance) and the clear glass allows for an even greater experience for kids to watch their treats being made. I love this place wholeheartedly . Desert donuts is a great part of this community . I’m happy to be a returning customer

  • 5/5 Jaime C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely the best custom made yummiest donuts EVER!! One of the best donuts I have had. Specially when they are all warm and gooey. They do an amazing job, their staff is polite and always wearing a smile. Store is kept clean. I will definitely be going back.

    I was going to make the drive out for a first visit but then I read recent reviews from multiple sites. While many people seem to like the products, it’s the ones that had negative experiences that concern me. No business will have 100% customer satisfaction ever. Everyone has an opinion along with likes and dislikes. But a business that criticizes negative reviewers in hurtful ways is highly unprofessional. It takes all the steam out of this ‘family friendly’ vibe they’re shooting for. I’m choosing not to support what looks like a toxic environment.

  • 5/5 Dereck G. 1 year ago on Google
    OMG! I have never in my life been in a spot like this! This is a very unique and brilliant concept. Absolutely Amazing! Fresh and made to order donuts with an assembly line of ingredients to choose from! And Ice Cream and Coffee… This is not your run of the mill donut shop! A MUST TRY!

  • 5/5 gourmetgoddess 2 years ago on Google
    I have never had a donut made to order before let alone so many options to choose from. There was even an option of a breakfast with egg, cheese, gravy, bacon and a donut that my partner got and it was great! I am not a fan of sweet and salty breakfast together like this with a donut but the rest of it was very good. The iced coffee came plain as can be, and there was a bar at the counter to serve your coffee as you liked with half n half and sugars, even agave syrup, which I really appreciated. The shop was cute and inviting and not long of a wait for the donuts and food to come out. Typically I am not a fan of cake donuts, but this one is good to my taste!

  • 5/5 Julia Irene N. 2 years ago on Google
    literally the best donuts i’ve ever had. they’re made hot and fresh. we tried three of the sweet donuts and they were all phenomenal. we also tried the donut breakfast bowl with eggs and gravy and bacon, sounds weird but oh boy does it work! so delicious! this is going to forever be my favorite donut place, step aside other donuts you’re no match 🤣. they also let us try a poptart milkshake which was INSANELY delicious. everyone working there is so sweet! 200/10 recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Ayrial R. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great donut shop! Loved the Easter themed donuts and all the different amazing combinations to choose from. The owner is always so nice to us! We are definitely happy to have this great place so close to where we live!

  • 5/5 Tara R. 2 years ago on Google
    I didn't make it out of the parking lot without eating 2 right off the bat. This is the first made to order donut I have had. Wow! Honestly, the best donuts I have eaten thus far in my 45 years. Warm, fresh, and literally elevated my mood! Thanks guys! I'll be back! 🤩😛
