This was my first visit to American Doughnut and I will definitely be back. I was the designated doughnut duty at work. These doughnuts were a huge hit. Several people asked where I got them and raved about how good they were. The gentleman working there was so kind. And the ambience is just as I imagine a neighborhood donut shop should be! Highly recommend!

Best donut shop we've ever bought donuts from. I know it sounds vanilla but try their glazed donuts. Its a good benchmark to see how well they're made when nothing is added. These guys have the best by far.

Came in today to get 2 dozen assorted donuts (from the top 2 shelves) for my customer. Trust me, this is no chain donut shop. The owner has been there for 23 years and his product is the best I've found in my travels so far. This is a hidden gem! No wonder he's so welcoming and happy. He knows his craft and I'm thankful for these delicious morsels! Highly recommended!

I'm so happy to have found this delicious donut spot! I was greeted by the sweetest owner who has the best donut selection to choose from. I purchased 6 donuts, two of which shown in the picture. My husband doesn't love sweets but was obsessed with the glazed donuts and said it's definitely 100x better than Krispy Kreme. I tried the caramel sprinkle and vanilla brown sugar - both of which were such a great treat. I'll be back for sure!

I went to get donuts this morning even after reading about the customer service issues. I did walk in with a plan so I could get in and out. I shouldn't have to do that but time is money. I allowed the gentleman build my assortment box of donuts and it went very fast. Donuts are delicious and everyone in the office loved them.
