What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Read some reviews of donut shops. This was not a find by reviews, it was review by a writer who went to multiple donut shops around the South Sound area, chose same donuts at each location and then rated. Search this shop up! Off the beaten path, and highly unlikely you would find this if you just happened to go shopping in Tacoma. Ordered a dozen donuts. Buttermilk was flavorful. No heavy grease or oil taste. Raspberry twist had a hint of Raspberry flavoring with a touch of cream cheese mix in it. This was worth saying a prayer over!! And a good old cake donut: Best I've had in a long time. I have a blueberrymuffin awaiting so enjoy these donuts and go get ya some!"
"Racist. Monday 9/17/25 1:15pm Older Asian lady refused to open drive thru window and just glared at me, I smiled and eventually she opened the window, she never spoke until I brought out my cash, then she said "Drop it" meaning the money, proceeded to hand me my order while turning her back and walking away. Negroes do not spend your hard earned money here and those against racism in any form stay away. No doubt this lady was thinking I might rob her because of my lovely brown skin, textbook racial stereotype and profiling. Disgusting!"
"This is the best donuts ive ever had. Wife and i whenever in the neighborhood we stop by. The family that run this place is amazing they dont hit you with unnecessary banter. Just straight to the point. They have a drive-thru thru and you can walk in. Oh they have the best priced donuts ever"
"The first time I got these Donuts I knew immediately that's the owners had to be from California because I've been trying for the last 12 years living up here trying to find Southern California Donuts and sure enough they are from San Francisco. Close enough. Because these Donuts are so good its worth the hour and a half drive I take for them.ive read some reviews saying hiw the owners are rude, I 100% guarantee it's your fault. Do you have any idea how early they get up and start working ? I make it a point to show the utmost respect and gratitude everytime im there and its reciprocated back everytime. So any reviews saying oh these guys were mean and rude to me you most likely weren't raised right and you're getting back what you're giving out and you sure as hell don't deserve Donuts as good as these go to Krispy Kreme . It's not hyperbole if I was on death row and had to ask for my last meal there will be a buttermilk bar and a French Crueller on my plate from Dockside Donuts."
"If you like bacon maple bars their is the best. Period. Get here early, get them when they are still warm. You will never go anywhere else for one, I promise. The family that owns this place is super friendly and remembers their customers. I love swinging by here on my way to work."
"This is a nice little family-run donut hole on the way to Fife, on Puyallup Avenue. They have a huge selection of fat pills, and I've tried several that..."
