This was our first time hearing about and going to a Pinkbox Doughnut shop. First of all - luv the name! It caught my attention right away! We were stopping at Primm for a quick break and to stretch our legs and I noticed the signs for Pinkbox. It turns out, the shop was in the Chevron station where there's also a Starbucks.
The shop is adorable and fun! I just love their vibe! Pink and sprinkles and cuteness all over - and their donuts are colorful and fun! And the employees are really nice! I had asked about where Pinkbox had originated and they not only told me about the shop, they also know where the other locations were.
We figured we'd just get a couple of donuts since we were on our way to Vegas and all we mostly would be doing is eating our way through the town! I got my favorite - an apple fritter - and my hubby got his fave - an old fashioned with maple glaze. My apple fritter was delicious! Crunchy on the outside, moist in the middle, and a perfect sweetness. It was so tasty, my hubby, son and I gobbled it up!! (Made me kinda wish that I would have gotten another donut!) - I'm not a big fan of maple anything, but I did try a tiny piece of my husband's old fashioned - it was just too sweet for me, but my husband enjoyed it!
This definitely is going to be a new stop for us the next time we're heading to Vegas! Good donuts are tough to find - and Pinkbox has got it down. Plus, I just love their cute donut designs, including the poop emoji donut assortment!!
*I didn't notice if they had coffee - I was just so distracted by all their cuteness - but just know that there is a Starbucks a few steps away...
Read moreI want to give credit where credit is due. The staff here is excellent. Just being served was a hilarious experience. The one serving me was cracking jokes and was genuinely funny.
The donuts are visually very appealing. We couldn't wait to try them and ordered a box of 6. I really would have tried them all if I could.
We went for a box of 6 from the "fancy category".
The fun stopped at the first bite. These donuts are so bland. The dough has very little taste and the toppings are just pure sugar. It literally feels like you're eating pure sugar without the satisfaction of eating something tasty.
My girlfriend and I could only stomach one and a half donuts each before calling it quits and throwing the rest away! This speaks volumes as to me, throwing away a donut is right up there with commiting adultery!
Shortly after throwing them away, we both got a stomach ache. After only one donut and a half each!
The week before, we had ordered a box of 6 from Dunkin' and finished all 6 in 10 minutes. Despite being pretty dry, they tasted about 10x better. They actually had a taste to them at least!
I wasted 17$ on these!!!
The donuts look astoundingly beautiful and the service is great. However, I would actually hesitate a long time if I had to chose between these donuts or eating dirt.
On the box it reads "So good you'll lick the box".
Well I actually had to throw the box away WITH the donuts in...
Read moreONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE DONUT SPOTS! Yes, you heard that right, Pinkbox is now one of my favorite donuts spots of all time. This is my first time getting to try this place and the legend is true, this place is like no other. Home to specialty and classic donuts alike, everyone has a place here (even Vegans!).
I tried the Cannoli Donut, Chocolate Jack, Golden Knight, Vegan Pumpkin, Tres Leches, and Old Fashioned donuts! All of them tasted great. However, my favorites were the Old Fashioned, Golden Knight, Tres Leches, and Chocolate Jack. Pinkbox uses a fantastic glaze on their donuts that reminds me of the magic shell chocolate syrup you put on ice cream that freezes immediately. It's addictive and delicious.
The gentlemen running this location were professional and super nice! I was in a bit of brain fog and they were patient with me haha. The shop started getting a little busy but I didn't have to wait. I got great vibes here, everyone was excited to try a donut! It's definitely a must-visit for donut lovers and Yelpers of all kinds.
This location is inside the Primm Center in Primm, Nevada. If you're leaving Vegas and forgot to grab some Pinkbox, you can come here before heading home! The shop was super clean and there's several instagram-able places to...
