Amazing donuts but in my limited experience never open up on time. Really the only thing holding back a 5 star. (Try the donut holes)

A surprising gem of a donut shop on Aurora, do yourself a favor & don’t go to Krispy Kreme!The donuts are super fluffy and always seem fresh no matter what time of day. 10/10 would recommend

Be careful here when using your credit card or debit card, they will charge you a very high surcharge for using your credit card/debit card here. I recommend you pay with cash here...

Great indipendent little store. The lady working there evenings is really nice and funny. Always suggesting donuts with your double scoop of ice cream. Come here to get fat! haha. Good selection and nice hometown feel to it.

Staff was friendly. Ice cream is run of the mill and donuts were pretty standard. So if looking for a grab and go sweet snack, it works.

AWESOME ice cream!! Peppermint is always a favourite, along with mango sorbet and the wild Mountain Huckleberry with a vanilla base .. The owners are the nicest people always friendly and funny and actually seem to remember who you are which is I think is pretty cool. She gave me a free small scoop on top of my double scoop because I couldnt decide between two flavour choices. 😁😁🍦🍦The store is open fairly late.. Double scoop in a cup costs around five dollars and the scoops are pretty huge. We have yet to try the doughnuts here but Ive heard theyre pretty yummy. ✔💯

Donuts were stellar, tasted so fresh and delicious!Open time wasnt what was on the note on the door, so we revisited later in the day. Times may vary, but we did a half donut to get some Aurora Donuts when we saw they were open. 🙏

Review №16

I love their donuts. Especially the maple bars. I am only giving 3 stars because the past few times Ive gone there, they werent open by the times posted on their door. Today, for example, said they were open 8am. I got there around 9am and waited until about 915am and then just left because they still werent open. There was an elderly man with a Seahawks jacket and a walker waiting outside. He was there when I got there, so I dont even know how long he was waiting outside. If your hours have changed due to Covid, please update your sign out front on your window.

Went there yesterday for the first time. The gentleman working was extremely nice. Great selection of donuts. Got a dozen to bring to work. My co-workers and I absolutely loved them. Fresh and delicious. Not overly sweet. Definitely my go-to donut place from now on.

Review №23

Huge selection and great quality! Youd think Krispy cream would have them beat, but nope, theyre awesome! And dont run out of the most popular ones by 9am. The apple fritters are almost twice the size as you get somewhere else. Also have a ton of ice cream flavors I never even knew they had. Havent yet tried it but looked very tempting. Customer service was excellent.

Review №25

I was afraid to come here because this a real sketchy unkempt area and I figured this place would reflect that. But as the reviews are great I gave it a shot. Clean place I just wish the donuts were covered in a display for flies. Standard donut varieties. And they have ice cream. Guy seems nice enough. Love that its right by planet fitness so I can go after.

They are a independently owned small donut shop. The women that owns and run the place is always very friendly. They have good prices and I they have more variety of than just your standard donut shop. They have coconut Kreme donuts and maple and bacon for example if you can get a dozen donut holes for under $5. They are delicious and made fresh daily and they serve ice creme too. Go there. You will like enjoy it. 🍩

The lady is always so nice! I’m a regular customer. Always satisfied and my favorite is their honey dipped donuts❤️

Review №47

Decent donuts but the apple fritter really should be called an apple inspired fritter, more of a fluffy elephant ear due to lack of apples

I thought I wrote a review about this place? Donuts are my weakness especially buttermilk! They have the legendary bacon doughnut here. like voodoo donuts in Portland now I feel like a damn donut! Specials after 5 PM!!! I think on a daily basis!! Oops I wrote the wrong time after 3pm on white labels only. Would have gave it two more stars just so dame sweet. I Like Vietnamese or Mexican donuts not as much sugar! Where the heck is a Mexican Pastry shop around here!!! Come on people a couple of ya hit me back! Their are Mexican pastries I think in White Center, is their one closer to Seattle????

I frequent this shop. The owners are always so nice and helpful. After 3 o’clock they have a special. Great doughnuts! Great ice cream!Just be aware when you pay with card it shows up on your statement as some weird name not related to doughnuts at all.That’s my only complaint.

Jo
Review №57

The lady serving you is always so nice and joyful! And the honey-dipped donuts are to die for. I kid you you not. Try them! Donut hole OR regular donut. Theyre so good!!The ice cream there is also quite delicious!

Review №58

Very good donuts, very poor service. You never know if they are going to open on time, and are often closed after 9am when it says they open, which is ridiculously late for a donut shop anyway. I used to go here a lot but they have become so lazy and unpredictable I dont bother because they have wasted my time so many times I am soured on their business at this point.

Our family goes here often as a treat for the kids with ice cream. 🙌 Open late too, very friendly & family owned. They serve ice cream and fresh donuts ❤

This is the best donut place in the area! Their donuts are always fresh, soft, and delicious. I would come here every day if I could. Donuts are also discounted after a certain time in the afternoon, so you have nothing to lose by trying them out. The owners of the shop are very kind and welcoming. Try them out; you wont regret it!

Very soft breads, so freshly baked and all the ice cream takes me back to baskin n robins 31 flavors when I was a little girl...

Review №62

Wonderful local donut shop with a lovely staff. Apple fritter would be my favorite, even though every donut that I have had there always tastes great. I come here almost once a week to pick up donuts for work.

Review №65

Honestly, Ive been to tons of donuts places in Seattle, from the cheapo ones to the expensive ones, and this is by far the best. The donuts always taste amazingly fresh, and they nailed down a good dough recipe. Try their honey glaze donuts, its the best.

Review №66

My ultimate weakness is donuts! They have bacon donut here by the way. Love buttermilk now that I’m writing this review I have to go buy a Doughnut today, I think they have a discount after five on a daily basis🤗! My bad it’s after 3pm, it’s A Special On white labels only ;)

Nice little hole in the wall donut place. Thought it seemed a little dirty inside, but Not sure if that was just because it was towards the end of the day, which I can understand.

Jo
Review №75

UPDATE 5/22; Tried to go again, on a Sunday between 8:30 and 9 am.Still not open. No hours posted, no cars in sight. Simply not worth the hassle! ORIGINAL: Place is never open. Inconsistent with hours. Unfortunately, this is the state of locally owned businesses, they keep the hours that work for them. While I respect the hard work it takes to run your own business, if you cant keep regular hours that your customers can depend on, then whats the point of owning it at all? For reference, my latest attempt to come here was between 8 and 9 am on a Sunday. Premier donut time tbh.... Would recommend you go elsewhere.

Review №82

These really are delicious donuts--dont even compare them to Krispy Kreme down the street. Aurora donuts are home-made, not churned out by a corporate recipe. 99 cents to $2.50 each, but if you get a dozen you can save about half! $12.99 a dozen, and way better than grocery store donuts. The maple bars and apple fritters are indescribably delicious.

Cant say enough good things about this place. The donuts are delicious, the coffee is delicious, the prices are fair, theres plenty of parking, theyre open early and they close late, and best of all - the people that work there are incredibly friendly. I will be a customer of theirs for as long as I live here.

Review №98

My wife and I frequent this place numerous times a month. Id say once or twice a week. Its obvious they were a Baskin Robbins before and still have an assortment of awesome flavors but I guess they wanted to up the ante by selling donuts on the other side. Krispy Kreme is fine, but most days Im not feeling masochistic enough to eat something that sweet. Aurora Donuts provides a great variety of unique and flavorfull donuts that wont have you amputating your foot from the beetus.

Ju
Review №99

The maple bacon bars are soooo good! They usually sell out early though. Great donut selection, regardless. Always fresh and the gal who works the counter is so friendly. Sometimes she throws in an extra donut later in the day 😊 This is also a Baskin Robbins, serving ice cream til late at night. Always clean with an Excellent food safety rating. Love it!
