Daynight Donuts

For about a yr me and a friend have been meeting here once a week for a doughnut and coffee. The staff is extremely nice, and the doughnuts are always fresh. Unlike Safeway, Fred Meyers, this is a real doughnut shop. They taste better, are larger and so much fresher.
I see the bad reviews, and can’t see what they are saying. Been here too many times, and not once had a bad doughnut or server.

Not sure how this place has 2 stars (as of my review) I almost didn’t try it, but we are moving in right down the street, so figured would give it a try. First good sign was a full parking lot, second was good donut selection, even some stuff I had never had, nothing crazy like voodoo, but lots of good donuts. We got a dozen random donuts, all were good, and biscuits and gravy also was good. Service was so-​so, and I normally would bump down my rating, but kept it high since expectations were so low based on prior Unilocal reviews

Horrible donuts and service but I guess they get an extra star for being open ²⁴⁄₇

This doesn’t even deserve a 1 star rating, but it was the lowest rating it would let me give :(
I walked in about 1:00 am.
There were no other customers in the building. Yet, the counter clerk stood there for about almost a minute with his back turned to me texting on his phone. Eventually, he came to the counter texting with his head down. It was not until I said hello did he even acknowledge me. I told him I wanted a dozen doughnuts. He didn’t even look up the entire time. He mumbled have a good night after I gave him my cash, yet he still didn’t even look at me.
I’m not sure what this place’s idea for customer service is, but this was not a way to make me want to come back. In fact I will not be coming back!
Sad, because their doughnuts are fairly decent, but not worth my hard earned money!!!

I’ve heard really good things about this place and always want to try it out whenever I am in Salem. We decided to go on the 4^th of July but wanted to call first before making a trip out there to find that they’re close due to the holiday. The lady who answered let out a deep sigh and in a monotone voice said «we are always open 24÷7». GREAT.
When we arrived, there was no other cars in the lot. We ordered half a dozen, sat down to have one while in the shop. My choice was the pink frosted with sprinkles. Unfortuately, the dontus did not taste fresh and I did not enjoy mine. My husband said his was the same way too. We then wanted to try a few of the other ones and all the same results, stale donuts.
I will not be returning.

Service was good but will not be coming here again. Ordered a half dozen donuts and they were all placed in a bag instead of a box. I don’t mind a bag for a couple donuts but when you have six in there they tend to get smashed together.
The next morning when we went to eat the donuts there was mold growing on most of them so we had to throw them away. Very disappointing experience.

Do not order ANYTHING besides the donuts. Nothing is made fresh, its all packaged and microwaved. And not even GOOD packaged and microwaved food, just bad bad bad.

Have been here a few more times since my last review. The donuts have always been just ok. Same thing I can get at Roth’s, Fred Meyers, Safeway, where ever… Which is a shame since this place specializes in Donuts they should be head and shoulders above everybody else.
I finally tried the Bacon Maple Bar, I didn’t care for it. I usually love Bacon but this bacon wasn’t well done enough for my tastes and was a bit chewy. Not something I will be trying again. Will stick to my Boston Crème.
Service has always been poor every time I have come in. The lady working is never in a hurry, so if you are, don’t bother.

The donuts are okay taste just like any other donuts so nothing really special about them. The prices are some what fair. The customer service is always terrible! I’ve been there 3 times, and each time the service was rude and uncomfortable. You can really tell they don’t want to be there, or like their customers, and apparently the boxes are only for a dozen donuts so don’t bother to ask if you can have your donuts in a box because the answer is no. ONLY GO THERE WHEN I’M IN DESPERATE NEED OF DONUTS. OTHER THAN THAT I GO TO SAFEWAY!!! at least I feel welcome there, and the people actually help you.

We were sorely missing a good donut shop after Dunkin’ Donuts left the west coast a few years back. Safeway donuts are good but donut shops offer more variety (naturally). Thankfully, there is Daynight Donuts! I happen to know that their recipes are pretty much the exact same as Dunkin’, so if you miss your old coffee and donuts, this is the place!
My favorite thing to buy here is the donut holes. For less than five dollars you will receive a dozen donut holes. I like to get the mixed variety so we get a sample of a bunch of different kinds of donuts. So good!

small blended mocha = $ 2.49 ???
Anything under 5 dollar, there is 30 CENTS DEBIT/​CREDIT CARD CHARGE
I honestly don’t think it’s fair for business to pass this charge to a consumer. It is important to remember the DODD FRANK ACT is in place, so business aren’t being charge the transaction fees as high as before. I believe business are charged 14cents per every transaction regardless of amount.
Anyways so if you are like me, just wanted to grab a mocha and donut on the go, bring cash!
I do want to mention that the blended mocha was TERRIBLE. Costco outbeats this place. The texture looked like a costco blended mocha but with more white «aka too much ice». It was bland. It had no taste of chocolate. I would stay away from the mocha.
The parking is kind of funny, however most people were in and out. There is 6 parking spots so not many people stay in there.
The donut was ok. It was fluffier than safeway donut, but nothing ahhh-​mazing.
