Golden Donuts

I respect any business that can make black milk tea correctly! The doughnuts have the fluffy and soft texture I look for in a doughnut. My co-​worker brought a dozen of doughnuts from BoSa on National Doughnut Day and when comparing the two, BoSa paled in comparison. I only wish Golden would include their business hours on their business card.

Wonderful family run donut place. The place looked clean and the owner? was super nice.
I got a variety of donuts. The frosting tasted fresh, the cream was yummy and not too sweet like other places. Both the cake and regular are good, but I think the regular are better. Oh, and they still tasted good the next morning

Great donuts!!! Very soft and delicious even towards the end of the day when other places go stale.
Coming back whenever I’m in Mesa!

The boxes were WARM, the glaze was just setting. Soft, fluffy, chewy. Great service with smiles. Quick. Reasonable prices. Hole in the wall. Pretty much the perfect donut shop.

Wow!!! What can I say, best tasting donuts i’ve ever had! I am picky cause I used to be a baker. Will come back for sure. Service is awesome. Place is very clean.

After a previous fiasco at the old location where someone (Working for them? Or maybe related to them? Or a concerned Donut Nazi?) sent me a private message accusing me of working for Unilocal after saying their Thai iced tea was too sweet, I was hesitant to try the new location. I figured though, we’ll let bygones be bygones. A new location has the promise of a new donut experience!
The menu is quite extensive as they have a wide selection of donuts, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, coffee, and smoothies. I decided on a chicken breakfast burrito and a few donuts to go. The burrito was made right on the spot and took only a few minutes to make. It was a decent sized burrito, with grilled tortilla, scrambled egg, cheese, hash browns, and grilled chicken breast. I appreciated that the chicken option exists since usually you only have ham, sausage, or bacon as your breakfast burrito options. There was a balanced amount of ingredients and it wasn’t super salty which I really liked. The hash browns were slightly mushy but overall I enjoyed the burrito.
The donuts were excellent. I tried a cake donut with maple frosting. The cake was a perfect texture, not too dense, slightly pillowy light. It was a good amount of sweetness and the maple glaze was just the right amount. There was a slight crispness around the edges to contrast with the softness of the interior. A cinnamon sugar twist I had was very fresh and soft.
Service was good and I didn’t need to repeat my order several times to the cashier unlike my previous visit at the old location :)
If I’m in the area it’s not a bad place for a tasty donut!

Best variety of donuts available. Their service is amazing and their product is delicious, with just a little bit more to offer than the average donut this is my number one morning spot. the hours seem to be A bit variable, when they’re open I’m happy they are.

To die for! Super fresh and super delicious donuts. My favorite was the chocolate cake donut. It tastes like a piece of chocolate cake, it was very light, chocolatey and delicious. It was worth me seeking them out. My expectations were set high sense navigation through me off and took me through a residential neighborhood to get to this heavenly location. I am going to spread the good word about this place and I will definitely be back!

Oh my goodness. My fiancé and I went here to grab a quick breakfast. I walked in and saw some of the donuts looked somewhat like BOSA donuts so I thougt it would be tasty. I was so wrong. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches the sausage one tasted like the eggs were cooked in old grease, and the croissant sandwich I did not even eat and gave it to my dog, and she did not even eat it!!. The croissant sandwich had one slice of thin ham, and a tiny piece of cheese. The donut holes we ordered tasted more than two days old. I will never go here again.

The breakfast sandwiches are sooooo good. I have a new found love for croissants! The donuts are amazing as well. This place is across from my work. I could get breakfast here everyday!

Not going to lie, I love donuts. The family of this establishment is warm and friendly. I’m going to add generous to the list. Breakfast is the speciality, but don’t be shy about stopping in for a sweet snack in the afternoon too.

A nice little donut shop in my hood. They serve more than just donuts. They have breakfast sandwiches and smoothies as well.
I’ve only tried the donuts. They are light and fluffy, served room temperature. The only thing that would make them better is if they were warm.

Amazing Donuts! Coffee is excellent too. Skip Duncan and come here. The buttermilk donuts are still warm and the fritters are packed with flavor, crispy not greasy, lots of apples and not too breaded. Great portions too! We want this place to stay in business for our kids kids

Hands down best donuts !! And drive thru, but it is a slow drive thru … I have tried coffee. I prefer a dark bold roast. All in all I will return

Love this local donut place! We were so happy to see that they were open on Christmas Morning! Donuts are amazing and very reasonable. Employees are super friendly and even gave us a little bag of donut holes while we were waiting. We tried the egg and bacon breakfast sandwich snd it was really good as well. Can’t wait to go back! Much better than Dunkin’ or Krispy Kreme!

Great doughnuts and sandwiches. Nice people too! Stopped in because I was shopping nearby and glad I did. Clean, good displays, clear menu, great service. Think it also has a drive through which is great for those weekend mornings when you want to go out in your pajamas. Will update if I try that some time.

BEST donuts hands down! Much better than Bosa, Krispy Kreme, and Dunkin! They are fresh, light, and sweet in a clean simple way, their glazed donuts remind me of honeysuckle. If you bite into one of the bar type donuts you have to smell the inside, it smells like fresh baked bread! These donuts have nothing to hide, clean flavors all around, unlike donuts elsewhere that taste manufactured or like they are using old dirty oil.
Unfortunately, I think they suffer from a bad location and are usually slow. I’m surprised people complain about them being in the back when they walk in, especially since I’ve never had to wait more than a few seconds before someone comes out to help me. I think they’re lovely people doing the best they can, but it’s not like Starbucks where you have a smiling uniformed employee who does nothing but stand by the register waiting for you to come in. It’s a family owned business and they don’t have a slue of employees assigned to each task. I hope they last, I hate it when my favorite family owned, quality places shut down due to lack of foot traffic.

This review will be brief because my visit was brief.
I walked into Golden Donuts and no one was present. After a couple minutes, a man appeared from the back. He did not smile. He did not ask me how he could help me. Eventually I asked if the fritter I was seeking was apple or blueberry. He told me it was apple.
He bagged it for me. Then I asked if they had soft drinks. He just pointed toward a case that was behind me.
I got what I wanted and brought it to the register.
I paid, said thank you and left.
The service was just… well… adequate. This is in stark comparison to the service I have received at Bosa, Boba and Donuts and just about every other donut shop.
The fritter, however, was PHENOMENAL. I only intended to eat a little bite of it before my appointment. Once I took a bite, I had to finish it. It had a lot of cinnamon, crisp, yummy apple and it was not overly greasy. It was sooooo good that I wanted to go back in and buy a dozen more. Of course, the guy was back in the back room so I decided to wait for another day!
In the words of the Terminator «I’ll be back!»

Donuts are very stale. Smoothies are okay. Costumer service was iffy. Expected more.
Place was kind of gross. Definitely go to bosa. A few miles away but worth it.

Perfectly delicious! My kids requested Golden Donuts over Bosa which used to be their favorite. The donuts are freshly made daily and have a good selection. Customer service is friendly and shop is clean. Last several times we’ve been there they’ve thrown in complimentary donut holes or as I like to call them, little clouds of heaven! The Boston Cream has cream throughout the donut, not just the middle like some shops. Kids always get long johns and frosted with sprinkles and say they prefer this frosting to others. Luckily Golden Donuts is in our neighborhood which makes it easy to get our donut fix!
