Kolby's Donut House

I enjoyed stopping by to check out this nice classic donut shop and try out a few things. The ordering process was super fast and I decided to go with a few boston cream donuts, 1 glazed and a dozen donut holes. There was no seating available inside when I was there everything was stacked up on the side of the shop, but I was just planning on taking it home anyways. Now for the donuts themselves: very delicious, light, fluffy and fresh in taste. Not overly greasy or dense which was nice. Price is fair and comparable to other donut shops around too. I didn't get a good look at the rest of their menu, but they do have other things besides donuts like breakfast sandwiches. I would definitely return in the future whenever I am craving a donut!

This is a 5-star doughnut shop for me. It's a small local shop that isn't interested in being fancy. Instead of trying to go overboard like the Legendary Doughnuts type of doughnut shops that are becoming so popular, they have stayed "retro" by focusing on what's important -great doughnuts with great service. This was my first time in this shop since moving into the area. I previously went to similar local doughnut shops in Lakewood and Tacoma. Here are my observations:1) Fresh doughnuts. We were actually politely asked to wait a few moments so more fresh doughnuts could be added to the display case.2) Great customer service. Very polite and patient. Very quick getting our orders. There were 3 senior veterans hanging out, so you know they treat their customers well.3) They're not just a doughnut shop -they also have espresso, breakfast sandwiches made fresh (we watched her crack eggs), veggie juices and smoothies! We came for the doughnuts, but left with breakfast sandwiches, a dozen doughnut holes, a blueberry fritter and a glazed nutty doughnut. The sandwiches were amazing and stuffed us, making us wait to eat our doughnuts. The doughnuts were again, fresh and delicious. Not too yeasty. Just right. 4) Easy access parking lot. We did see a guy puking his guts out in the parking lot while leaning out of his car -we're assuming he had partied a little too hardy the night before since it was a lot of puke and early Saturday morning. Definitely can't be the doughnuts as we're A-ok. Lol. Anyway, lots of parking. Easy to find right next to Jack-in-the-Box on the corner of Pacific and Military.Overall, we're very happy and will definitely be back. Stop by and get your morning started right! Open 5AM-5PM daily, per Yelp. We arrived just after 9AM after leaving Home Depot across the street and we're getting a fresh refill of doughnuts and no other customers in line.

Decided to do a side by side comparison of Franks & Kolby's, here are our thoughts: Only tried 2 donuts, glazed cruller and maple bar. Both locations the price was exactly the same at $3.50 for 2 donuts. Franks cruller was taller and had more glaze. This made it a bit more messy to eat as the glaze flakes off while biting into it. Although a tad sweeter, which is my preference, franks left me with a mild wavy texture briefly afterwards. Kolbys cruller was less sweet but tasted a bit more greasy, reminded us of fair food. Although it didn't look to have much glaze the sweetness was just enough without being too much. Because it wasn't covered in the stiffer glaze it was also a bit softer. Kolby wins this roundFrank's maple bar was good, typical maple bar.Kolbys maple bar was very soft. Like when you pick it up your fingers sink into it. It also had a sweeter more artificial flavor and the frosting flakes off more on the kolby bar. Franks wins this round.

Ok every time I go here I'm so satisfied. Their donuts are so soft and fresh and the breakfast sandwiches are made to order and ugh just so good. Customer service is always so nice and fast. Just go here and see for yourself!!!

Fantastic donuts! Family members went so far as to call them the best they've ever had!! The lady running the store was incredibly welcoming, kind, and charismatic! cannot recommended the place more!

Love love this place! Perfect place to stop by after ice skating. My favorite by far is the original glazed. It's big and fluffy, just the right amount of chewiness, fried but not super greasy, the perfect thinness of glaze layer. I can't say enough good things about it. I'm positive I could eat a box in one sitting.Other doughnuts I've tried are the chocolate frosted, pink frosting with sprinkles, one with coconut and chocolate, boston cream, and the long stick version of the both the glazed and the chocolate. Everything is good because the basic doughnut is good, but I happen to just like plain glazed best. Only one I didn't like was boston cream and I vastly prefer Dunkin for this one (which I frequently do).I haven't tried any cake doughnuts or sandwiches, but those look like offerings here too. They seem popular based on witnessing other people order then haha but I really can't recommend the glazed enough. The people working are nice and I've always had a pleasant experience here. Do yourself a favor and go!

First time here and I absolutely love it! She was very sweet & polite and the food is 10/10!! My new favorite donut place.

just tried Kolbys doughnut house. there doughnut were the best. I will be going back to try other doughnuts when in the area. So if you're looking for a doughnut shop I suggest you try here, you won't regret.

Seriously one of the best donuts I have ever had, so soft it was like biting into air. Prices were reasonable, for two donuts and the biggest coffees they had it was like 10 bucks. Easily a return to spot. They were packed when we walked in but they were getting people through the line very quick. The only down side was the lobby was half filed with furniture so there wasn't really any place to sit. Also they were already out of some donuts, they were making more, but that early I feel like they should have been stocked up more.

I love the donuts and drinks they taste delicious. I've tried the breakfast sandwich and it tastes really good. I have been going to this place for a while now and I love the quick service.
