Waltons Donuts

you know? no. i hate picking on these family owned donut shop places in random strip malls next to random other businesses, but the donuts were disappointing. not chewy. not anything i couldn’t get at the same donut shop 6 blocks away. the first thought that went through my head while half way through my chocolate glazed was, «these taste like donuts a lesser person would be satisfied with. someone who isn’t thinking about the flavor or the texture, and is simply wanting donuts to fill the same vacancy we as ordinary americans want donuts to fill on an ordinary, perhaps lonelier than normal saturday morning.»
Additionally, there was no water jug with little cups available. isn’t that normal to have at donut places? maybe i’m thinking frozen yogurt. at any rate it wasn’t there and i was expecting it to be there and it led me to conclude they are stingy. which may not be true at all. thus, i will give them 3 stars instead of 2, because i made a harsh, misinformed accusation.

Donuts (and coffee) were sub-​par to what you can get at the big box supermarkets, and the overall facility was in disrepair with peeling wallpaper and a (very) old, moist newspaper wad keeping the table from rocking.
Walton’s Donuts feels like it’s run not by people who have an enthusiasm for donuts or service, but by people who have arbitrarily landed on this opportunity to make a living. The whole establishment felt more like the risky bakery I might venture to try when broken down on a road trip in a run-​down town off of the interstate, and not like a business competing in a metropolitan area with plenty of options.

This is my go-​to for donuts and kolaches. You have to call ahead for the kolaches though. They have the classic donuts unlike the other shops that have all the fancy flavors. Glazed and chocolate and long John’s are great.

Tasty ass donuts. Ok, well not Ass Donuts, but they are tasty as hell. Although the place could use a fresh coat of paint, the donuts are worth coming back for.

It’s donuts… you can’t really mess them up. They gave me the satisfaction one wants when they are getting donuts but they were nothing to rave about. I would say they are just your average run of the mill donut. Considering its walking distance from my house I’m sure I will go there again.
The glazed cinnamon twist thing I had was pretty good I would recommend it.

First time going there today. Got there at around 10:30, most the donuts were gone but that’s not a problem there was still a good selection. I got a dozen. was like $ 16. The doughnuts looked amazing and I couldn’t wait to go home and eat them. Tasted fantastic, I had a strawberry filled donut and a bear claw which has Apple cinnamon filling for all you stoners out there. THIS IS YOUR DOUGHNUT SHOP.

I’ve been here twice now and I have to say their donuts are pretty good! The location isn’t great and a possible renovation wouldn’t hurt but I understand that can be costly. So it’s a definite «hole in the wall» joint but it doesn’t take away from their capability of producing a tasty donut. I do, however, wish they had strawberry frosting donuts with sprinkles (a personal favorite when I lived in TX). Aside from the location of this shop, they could use a more vibrant inside. The lighting is horrible and there’s nothing that really draws a customer in, other than just passing by and wanting a donut (this is how I found the place) or by being a local. When I think of donuts I also picture the shop so it would be nice if they spruced up the place by adding more lighting and possibly painting. Adults like donuts but kids LOVE donuts. Back in TX, parents bring their kids to get donuts and they actually stay to eat at the donut shop. I have yet to see anyone sitting inside and eating their donuts. In fact, I’m not even sure if they have seating. (Not remembering can’t be good) They should try making it a bit more vibrant. Doesn’t have to be geared towards kids just more modern and inviting for families. Presentation can go a long way and is linked directly to the profit of the company. I hope they make some changes soon! I’d hate for them to go out of business.

My favorite doughnut shop. No frills delicious donuts. I’ve been to glazed and confused, voodoo, fractured prune, etc… but this is still my favorite.

A lot of friends would say this isn’t the best place for donuts. I guess they were right.
I came Monday afternoon and was lucky there weren’t so many people there. I ordered a variety of donuts and brought them home. Though they look different because of their toppings, the taste and texture were basically the same. Nothing unique between each donut. They certainly have no imagination in making those donuts. Too bad. A little more imagination and they could have made a great donut.
Voodoo Donut is better than this. At least their donuts are fancier than here at Walton’s.

Clean and comfortable, good customer service, great breakfast! Can’t go wrong with any options-​check out the apple fritters they are my favorite.

Avoid… I was curious to see if Walton’s really had the best donuts in Denver. I did not stay long enough to find out. I walked in and the young woman behind the counter was busy mopping the floor. No one else was there to help. She politely asked what I wanted and I placed an order for a couple of donuts, She proceeded to reach in the case. Before grabbing the food, I asked her awkwardly to please wash her hands first. She noted she was wearing gloves (the same ones on the mop) and then proceeded to strip those gloves and put new ones (while handling the new gloves with the old ones). She never washed her hands.
Now I am not generally along the OCD lines, general hand washing in food service is important and I thought a polite reminder would do the trick. The reason for not using mop gloves when grabbing a donut never clicked with her. And, the place does really have a smell (from the bathroom area?) as someone else noted. I walked away without a purchase.

This used to be one of the best places to get donuts and now it is not. I went in on Saturday and there was only one person working there and she was more interested in getting donuts on a tray in the back then helping us out. I was so used to nice and fluffy and tasty donuts and I walked away wishing I had gone to King Soopers than stopping at one of the most highly rated donut shops. I am disappointed. I know that they ownership has changed but since then, the quality of donuts has not stayed the same.

Delicious donuts and affordable. I ordered 17 dozen for an office event. They were boxed and ready when I arrived 15 minutes early. The donuts were a major office success! Highly recommend this neighborhood breakfast gem.

Great little donut shop at the intersection of Leetsdale and Monaco. Fresh, tasty & sweet, and inexpensive! Nice people behind the counter as well.

Meh, I was so excited to finally try Walton’s that maybe my built up hype led to it falling short of my expectations. With all of the new donut shops coming into Denver the excitement over the fluffy little o’s of joy has been at an all time high, and I have had a yearning for finding a great donut. Unfortunately Walton’s just didn’t cut it. The donuts are a step above Safeway or Albertsons, even though I got there at 6am my donuts were cold and already getting a little hard. I enjoy the original flavors and am not the biggest fan of the really adventurous concoctions that places have so of the three I got (glazed, chocolate glazed, and the cinnamon roll donut) the only one I enjoyed was the cinnamon roll donut. The rest were cold, greasy, lacking of flavor, and ultimately was not an experience worth going out of your way for.

This is not a fancy place, and the donuts admittedly don’t look like much, sitting there all humble in their simple glass case. But, oh man! Those are some of the best donuts I have ever had. Trumps even the latest edition to the Denver donut scene. Seriously good donuts!

You now what’s good? Donuts. I fucking love me some donuts, and have eaten enough in my life to know a «okay» donut joint from a «holy sweet jesus shit» donut shop.
Waltons Donuts falls in the «holy sweet jesus shit» category. These are some great damn donuts folks.
My go-​to order is always a bear claw and a handful of donut holes. Have you ever had a warm donut hole actually melt in your mouth? I hadn’t either until I had one here at Waltons. I just about shit my shorts it was that good.
Go.
Just go.

Wouldn’t give it a 5 because I just can’t give 5 for a donut joint. But I had a craving for a donut, and had to seek one out. Haven’t had a donut in years, so off I went on my way to work. The smell brought me back in the day, and was exactly what I hoped for when I walked in. Nothing over the top, straight to the donut hole for this place. Friendly staff for sure! Seems like they push some dough out of there because people were coming in consistently while I was there.
The donuts were great! Tasted fresh, were light, and totally what I was seeking out with my craving.
Until years from now, my donut loving friends.

Filthy!!! We live near the store. We like the donuts. Often take our grandkids for a treat. 2 weeks ago we found the store dirty. No tables cleaned. High chair was sticky. Floor so bad it was slippery. Kick space under the counter had visible food, paper, etc.
Will go back to Winchells or drive to Krispy Kreme.

Based on a «take-​away» review. Tuesday Feb 8^th 2011
Hubs was in the neighborhood. I asked him to purchase some Donuts for my mini donut cravings. Purchased these if I could recall properly.
* Raspberry filled
* Strawberry
* Double Chocolate
* Lemon
* Bavarian Cream
* Sugar Donuts
All in all A-​OK Donuts for me. Perhaps it might differ if I were to be there at this establishment in person and eat the donuts there. Perhaps it might differ my review. So for all the donut lovers out there, there are some questions, I need to ask, y’all… How do you eat your donuts? Do you eat it cold, or do you nuke it in the mirco-​wave for several seconds? Do you like your donuts HOT from the store? Or do you eat your donuts with tea, coffee or cold milk?
Just wondering…
Might return to this establishment when needed.
