Donut Factory

If you're looking for a classic donut shop this is the place! So happy we found this gem!

I was driving in Placerville near the Donut Factory. They were still open for the day... so of course I made a beeline to get over there to buy some donuts. D'oh donuts!!! The donuts are darn tasty. My all time fave of a cake donut is pretty amazing here. Plus the place is family ran and the prices are pretty reasonable. Prices are significantly cheaper than the shops in Folsom.It was near closing time, so the selection was not their full offerings. But I was still able to get some cake donuts. $1. I bought vanilla cake and chocolate cakes with varying frostings and toppings. Mmm. They even taste just as good the day after; I know since we had a couple of donuts we bought and ate the next afternoon. They were still cakey moist, tasty and fresh tasting! Other signature items besides the donuts are apple turnovers, berry handheld bakes, chocolate croissants, and regular croissants. $2.50. All of them are home made and fresh baked. Looking all so gorgeous sitting behind the enclosed glass counter. A couple of bonuses of this donut shop are that they sell coffee and espresso drinks. Plus they have a few tables inside and outside where you can sit a spell and enjoy the donuts. It's a clean, no frills type of place.

This is my go to donut shop. Hands down the best donuts! My family loves every single donut on their menu.

I stop by here every time I'm going through Placerville, the Apple fritters are awesome! Great service, clean store and very friendly staff. Support your small business!

So I bought a mixed dozen that was $17, and two extra donuts. I didn't realize till I was in the car and said to myself "wait, I was charged $31?!" I went back to my moms and she said that it's been a thing, and I shouldn't have gone here. Super disappointing. I haven't been here in over 10 years (I live out of town) and man, I won't be back here again. Go across town to yumyum. Super disappointing. All the negative reviews are true. It's a bummer. Used to be my favorite place.

Prices don't match what's charged. I questioned the prices and was gave some long drawn out reason why this Asian woman was justified for ripping me off(compared to the board that shares prices with customers). I paid more for a "mixed dozen" for $15. Got regular maple and chocolate donuts, nothing special and was charged $18. This may not seem like much but it adds up when your doing it to every customer.Just a heads up to watch out for this woman.

Yummy, great selection, plenty of seating, fair pricing! Attentive staff. We will be back.

Great donuts. Try the maple bar with bacon. Yum. They do a great job on most of the standard donut varieties. A nice family owns the place and they are usually friendly and welcoming

I've been a loyal donut factory customer for many years! Love this place!! Even my children ask for donuts from here.

We bought a ton of donuts yesterday for a party. They were very dry. It was hard to believe that they were freshly made yesterday. The apple fritters were so hard! We were not impressed at all.
