American Donut

I just read through the reviews and it seems like the owner must be bipolar. Or maybe there are two employees here. I came in this morning to pick up some donuts for work and I asked for a dozen donuts. The guy asked if I wanted him to pick out the dozen and I said no I’ll pick them out myself. He didn’t seem to like that so he was like «Of course you will» and grumbling to himself. Then another customer walked in and the donut guy said «I’ll be with you when I can, this is going to take a few minutes.» And I wasn’t even taking a long time. I was picking out donuts as fast as he could put it in the box, which is not very fast. He continued being rude and I remained nice and cheerful the entire time, but I definitely wanted to call him out on his rude behavior. I like the donuts here and it’s conveniently located close to work, but I’m not sure if I want to return. This was a really weird experience. It’s odd how such a rude man can be a business owner, but maybe he wasn’t the owner, I’m not sure.

Great Donuts, Crap Service! I had never been in before today, but had these donuts because a co-​worker brought them into the office. The donuts have a nice light crispness to them, which is tasty. This morning I stopped in for 2 dozen donuts, and when I said I’d like 2 dozen raised donuts, the guy said «so you wanna wipe me out of raised donuts?!». My response was a friendly «so your raised are the most popular, at least this morning» and he responded snarkily «at least WITH YOU!». I won’t go back. You lost me as a customer today. If you’re in the business of selling donuts, sell them happily, whatever the customer wants. Don’t cut apple fritters and cinnamon rolls in half to count for 2 donuts unless you ask if that’s okay. And turn off the gawd awful religious TV station. Proselytizing merchants are the BIGGEST turnoff for me!

This place definitely needs a facelift and I was disappointed that there was no ice coffee. The owner was very nice and the prices are good. I got three donuts for under $ 3 (.86 each). I got two cinnamon sugar donuts… Thank god because they are delicious. My chocolate covered with sprinkles did not taste fresh. I would go here again for the cinnamon sugar donuts!

One of the worst experiences ever. I wanted some donuts for my office, and to begin with he was rude and kept cursing under his breath.
I first asked for 2 dozen, then later while he was packing I asked him to box up another dozen. He goes «Jeez. shit!» and rolls his eyes!
The donuts are not fresh and not even close to being good. The guy who works there needs a shower!

The place is run by a man who does not look very clean. One morning I went in to buy 2 dozen donuts for my office. I pointed at one of the chocolate donuts and he gave me a cold stare, then said «That one is reserved for a client.» So I’m not a client? Prior to this visit, I had some donuts from this place and they were about the same as King Soopers donuts, but priced way more. The extremely poor customer service and sub-​par donuts make this a place to avoid. I now hop on I-​70 and hit the nearest Winchells off of Kipling or I just get pastries from Perkins and pay a little more for 10x the quality on my corporate donut days (twice a month). Oh, and I get stellar customer service too! I’m happy, tip jar’s very happy.

OK OK, here is the REAL DEAL. The guy who runs the place is very nice and accommodating. I have no problems with the staff. But please guys, im not sure if he is paying people or if people just have no taste buds!
His donuts are AVERAGE at best. OK so what he fills them on the spot. I don’t care about filling because I hate filled donuts.
The donuts look like he buys them at that local Winchells place and them puts them in his showcase the very next day. I did not experience the perfect balance between salty and sweet or the other things people are saying are soooooo great about these donuts. Clean place, great service but OK donuts at best. NOTHING SPECIAL

Yes, it is true, the donuts here are absolutely incredible. I have been here several times and it seems to be a one-​old-​man operation here. If it weren’t for my most recent visit I would give this place 5 stars. But recently when I went here there weren’t any donuts on display and the old man angrily called out «we’re out». When I asked how long for some more he responded 5 – 10 minutes. He walked to the back and he was upset and cursing. So I waited in my car for 10 minutes and when I go to open the door to see if he has anymore ready, I find out he locked the door. He left the open sign on, but just locked the door.
It is also true that this guy has always been very friendly every other time I’ve been here and I must’ve caught him on a bad day. So, while I will continue to get donuts here I am now weary if he’ll have any available. I don’t think this guy knows how good his product is comparatively and that he could likely charge more, hire more staff, and stay open later than 1pm.

HOLY CRAP! I live in Wheat Ridge and our only donut shop option is Winchell’s, ick. Just tried American Donut and the donuts are glorious! The apple fritter… OMG! So good! I’m so glad I found this little spot!

By far one of the most pleasant gentleman I’ve ever met in my life. His name is Mike and I swear I felt like I was one of his family. Not only is the hospitality off the chart but the donuts are to die for. We just found our new favorite donut shop! Give him a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Just about the worst coffee I have ever had. Hands-​down the best apple fritter I have ever had. And that fritter is better so infinitely much more than the coffee is bad, to put it into perspective. The purveyor of this establishment is, as other reviewers have noted, unusually awkward, but fuck, does he make a mean pastry. So tasty that it actually leaves you satisfied, so you don’t end up gobbling ten more and then regretting it for the next six hours.
Edit: Fuck it, this place gets my five stars, awful coffee or not. I just had two apple fritters and a lamb gyro for breakfast and I was literally moaning throughout my meal.

The donuts here are among the best I’ve had in my life and plan on going back the next time I’m in Lakewood. The owner was quiet, but very nice and makes a great gyro, in addition to the wonderful donuts! Being served by him was like being at home; he makes you feel comfortable in his establishment and is all about service.

I stopped in here one morning after work. There’s a small display case with different kinds of donuts inside. The gentleman who helped me is soft spoken as mentioned before. I had to ask him to repeat himself, but he was very nice. I enjoyed my donuts and they had a slight crunch to them, which I liked. I’m back on a diet that doesn’t allow donuts so I won’t be back for a while, but these were good and I’d pick some up for my husband if he gets a donut craving.

These donuts are incredible. Fresh tasting, perfectly chewy, and great balance of salty and sweet. Plus filled on demand to be absolutely fresh.
The best part has to be the man who runs this place. He is incredibly friendly, soft spoken, and full of great hospitality.
Apparently they also have sandwiches, but I can’t ever remember to order one cause of all the great DONUTS!
