Master Donuts

I have been enjoying donuts here for the last almost 20 years! Truly, BEST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD! Even under the new ownership-- they're still the best! Thankful that this wonderful place can continue on!

Excellent donuts and service! This is a great choice to satisfy your sugary fried dough cravings. Enjoy!

Apple fritter review #18Glaze: Good, not too much, four starsOutside: could be crunchier, three starsInside: soft and moist, four starsFilling: seems like the perfect amount, five starsThey couldn't take my 20 and I was fifty cents short in small change but they wouldn't let me put anything back so that pushes them to five stars. :) (Also the other donut I got was good and thefritters are enormous.)

This donut shop is a small family-run business, and seems to be extremely popular with the locals from the surrounding neighborhood.Since it is in the same parking lot as one of my favorite laundromats, I've stopped by here a few times now, and have always found it to be packed (primarily with older men reading newspapers or playing games).The staff is super friendly and hard working. Every time I've come in, I've seen them running around like crazy, making sure to take care of every customer as quickly as possible.I've only ever ordered a donut or two, and they are not my favorite donuts of all time, but they are pretty good. They are just basic, classic American donuts-- nothing fancy or artisan (although I have to disagree with another reviewer's assertion that artisan donuts are "weird fancy shit"). So far, I believe I've tried the donut holes, sprinkle donuts, a jelly-filled donut, and a cream-filled donut. These donuts remind me of the donuts my dad would have ordered from our local donut shop when I was a little girl (because my mom would have had fancier taste). They taste like basic, classic 1989 corner donut shop donuts. If you like classic, consistent, cheap, clean chains, then you are sure to like this donut shop.

The biggest (and best!) apple fritter I've ever had in my life! Coffee is reasonably priced as well. And the owner is the sweetest old woman you'd ever want to meet.

Donuts were freshDecent atmosphere Poor customer service.I ordered 4 Donuts and provided an additional $2 and asked if they could give it to the homeless women to buy a donut. The cashier agreed. Moments later, while the lady was in the bathroom, the owner decided to put it in the tip jar rather than give it to her, whom it was meant for.The homeless woman paid 50 cents for water and wasn't a nuisance. I don't respect greed, I'm choosing not to support this business anymore. It's about respect. Not being homeless, helping someone is something that makes us human.

We come in to Master Donuts at least every month for their Apple Fritters. They are the best we have ever tasted and huge. You can see the apple chunks, taste the cinnamon and the gooey glaze on top is just right. Makes me want to go buy more. We also love their homemade Donuts so fresh and delicious. Master Donuts has served Citrus Heights their delicious donuts and pastries for over 20 years. Come out and support this small business and enjoy a sweet treat.

The Apple fritter hype is true. If you get there early they are warm, soft, and crunchy. Friendly staff and clean on the inside.

Great donuts. Friendly staff. Usually out of the best donuts early so need to get there in the AM for best selection.

I had an absolutely HORRIBLE experience and got hurt at the Master Donuts in Citrus Heights! See attached photo!Right from the start, we noticed the floors were extremely slippery, so we informed Dee, the Owner, who was there. She told us that she had just mopped. A few minutes later, I slipped on the floor and fell hard right in front of her while approaching the register. I hurt my leg in the fall and was completely shocked that I was now lying on their wet floor! And then... no one did ANYTHING!I was looking up in disbelief at the lack of concern from the Owner! Dee didn't offer any assistance, show any concern, or even ask me if I was okay! Instead, she simply continued ringing up our order as if nothing bad had happened! I was stunned, and It was incredibly disheartening to see such a huge disregard for customer safety and care!!!This level of negligence is alarming AND dangerous...especially for older customers who could be seriously injured! I DEFINITELY recommend never stepping foot in this donut shop again...because you just might break it! Literally! And they won't even care.
