Bill's Donuts

I've gotten donuts here several times and they've always been delicious. Today my students came in to buy donuts for a fundraiser and they generously donated a bunch of delicious donuts to the girls. Bills donuts is a staple in the granite bay community and much loved.

I was driving through the shopping center to get to Best Dim Sum and I noticed the sign for Bill's Donut. I made a mental note to myself to check this place out after brunch. And I did. It sure didn't disappoint. They have beautiful, tasty doughnuts served up by a lady with a big smile and personality to match. No frills, simple small business. Great components of a classic Americana doughnut shop. Well I dropped on in after lunch, it was just about 12:30 pm. Closing time. Right when we stepped in, we were greeted by the sweet gal behind the counter AND a bunch of regular customers sitting at the only table. That down home welcome was a nice surprise. We weren't shooed away or rushed out the door. But when we looked in the display counter... there were no doughnuts. We were bummed. I thought they sold out. But the woman must have noticed our sad faces and quickly assured us they have doughnuts left. She just boxed them up. So she proceeded to tell us what she had left. We ordered two old fashions and a cake. $1.50 each. She threw in a couple more (an old fashion and a glaze) on the house since it was closing time. That was gracious of her and the business. She bagged the doughnuts carefully as to not smush them. Ya'll know how glaze doughnuts are all so delicate. But when I got home and took the doughnuts out of the bag, the glazes were still perfectly intact. No smushing. That's some expert doughnut packing. They were delicious. The old fashion had the cakey like interior with the nice crispier edges. The glaze had a fluffy interior with the type of glaze consistency I prefer. That being dry but not so dry it's crackling off and not wet n sticky nor overly sweet.

They have always had good donuts, that's not debatable. This past weekend was my daughter's 4th birthday party. She asked for a donut themed birthday. I called the day before and asked for 2 dozen donuts. The woman I talked to was amazing. She was so excited for us, and she said she'd make sure we had lots of sprinkles, because the kids love sprinkles! When we went to pick them up on Saturday we had just driven to Cavitt Jr High to discover the annual egg hunt was cancelled. My daughter was so upset, she was completely inconsolable while we tried to explain we'd still get the donuts and her party wasn't cancelled.We went inside and the woman working the register was so kind to her that she completely forgot about the egg hunt. She showed her all the donuts she packed for us, and even gave her a special heart shaped donut. She couldn't stop smiling the whole time we were there. Anyone with a toddler or small child knows how game changing this was, and it helped set the mood for the rest of the day.TLDR. Donuts are awesome. Service is awesome. 100/10

I don't understand this place when you go in, they have plates and plates of chocolate bars and chocolate cakes, glazed and sugar, but never anything else. Every time we stop they are always out of apple fritters, old fashions, French curls, nuts, and coconuts, maple bars, all the good stuff. I've decided just to start bypassing this place and heading to Baker Bens as they always have a huge selection no matter what time you go in.

Happened to stop by bc we were at the post office. I had my 1 year old with me and decided to get something small like 1 or 2 donut holes. They only had bags of a dozen donut holes, which I said no to since I don't want my baby eating that much sugar. The man there insisted that I take the whole bag free of charge. I tried to pay, but he refused to take my money. He said he just wanted my kid to have some. So very kind and nice. Just completely unexpected. Oh, and my kid loved them.

Excellent and quick service. Fresh and hot coffee. Donuts made by Mo are delicious. Apple fritter is super yummy. Fav is the chocolate filled with custard. Art shows on the wall of local artists. Outside tables and inside dining.

We just stumbled upon this little donut shop. O M Dog!!! These little gems are delicious. I love the cake ice-frosted with nuts. It is hard to find these old school real donuts. My husband loved the chocolate sprinkled ones. Highly recommend! YUMMY

Picked up a dozen donuts to celebrate a birthday at our office today and it was the first time we all have had Bill's Donuts. The donuts were amazing! Super soft and fluffy and not greasy tasting like other donuts.. the frosting was a bit thin, but then it was also nice to have a little bit of every flavor.Our birthday person absolutely enjoyed it! It was a quick pick up, around 10 in the morning. We'll be back!

It's a shame that anyone would say something negative about this establishment. Bill's donuts has a level of customer service that rarely exists anymore. My family loves coming here and we will surely continue for a long time.

Service was good, customers and employees were friendly. That aside, the worst donuts I've ever had. Taste like they were made the day before. Chocolate bars looked like rolled blunts. I'll never go again.
