Really enjoyed my experience at Golden Donut. Was met with kind smiles behind the counter and from other customers. Overall a really cozy spot bustling with regulars who helped me choose what I wanted to eat!
The croissants were delectable. So delicious! Coffee was amazing. Can't wait to become a regular.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 7, 2023
In a moment of insanity, I volunteered to do coffee and donuts for my kids' school PTA. The person who had the task before us recommended Golden Donuts, and we figured... If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Never thought I would be complementing a donut place on efficiency, but when you're in a rush trying to buy a large quantity of donuts in the morning...
Turns out a lot of other people are, too.
I ran in, running late and there were three or four people ahead of me in line. I swear I was in and out of that place in under 90 seconds.
5 dozen delicious donut holes purchased quickly via Apple Pay.
Looking forward to doing it again next month!
I'll have to try some of their other donuts, as well.
...For science.

I've been craving a donut so I hopped on Yelp to find a good place. Golden Donut was close to me and had great reviews so I decided to check it out. This place is not disappoint! Decided to get a dozen to sample a few different things. Everything looked amazing! The donuts are so fresh, fluffy, and flavorful. You can tell they haven't been sitting out for too long and have gotten stale. The store was extremely clean and thestaff were super friendly as well. Will definitely be bac when I need another donut fix.

My donut and vietnamese coffee spot for over a decade now! I adore the entire staff and their delicious baked goods. I have tried other vietnamese coffees around the area and this is still the OP. They also have some savory breakfast croissants that you need to try. Love Golden Donut!

The cutest local coffee shop with good donuts and coffee! I saw this place online and am always on the hunt for some food viet coffee. The donuts are like the usual ones you see at shops, but they were very enjoyable! The coffee was pretty good, I would come back for it again. Strong caffeine LOL. I also want to note that the service was excellent and they were so kind! There is some seating indoors where you can relax and enjoy your food. Would come back!

It is June 1023! Their dozen donuts are $16.00. Those special ones are nearly $3.00 a piece eg. Cinnamon rolls, bear claws, Apple fritters ! Bought 3 of those special ones and one regular equates to $10.00 which is 4 pieces of doughnuts!
Soft, delicious, and fresh! I came in 0530 am people started to come in one by one.. some had just left seeing them from the parking lot at very early morning! Great experience! I love the associate.. very nice she was! Parking is plenty! I was in the area! Try it!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 1166264Apr 15, 2023
In a word. Amazing. Donuts are donuts. But not really. This shop is so consistent. Service. Check. Flavors. Check. Staff. Check. Quality. Check. Price. Check.
Unassuming shop. Anything but ordinary.
Some shops do more with adventurous flavors. Which is cool.
This shop has the classics and they're always good.
If you want a good donut. Classic flavors. You can't go wrong.
Highly recommend. Will repeat. Again and again.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
