Hiro’s Donuts — Restaurant in Phoenix

If there were a donut Olympics, Hiro’s wouldn’t just take the gold—they’d force all the other donut shops to sit in the bleachers and clap politely while crying into their stale glazed mistakes.

Let’s start with the apple fritter. Calling it an “apple fritter” is like calling the Grand Canyon a “hole in the ground.” This thing isn’t a pastry—it’s a divine artifact forged by donut gods with a hammer made of cinnamon and a chisel of pure joy. Every bite is like apple pie and a warm hug had a baby, then sent that baby to Harvard. Forget other fritters—Hiro’s fritter is the final boss of breakfast.

And then… the maple donut. Sweet merciful carb heaven. It’s not just maple—it’s liquid pancake syrup enlightenment slathered on a cloud that somehow fried itself into perfection. Other donut shops try to make maple donuts and end up with something that tastes like an expired Yankee Candle. Hiro’s maple? It could convince a Canadian lumberjack to renounce poutine and live a maple-only diet.

Meanwhile, every other donut shop in town? Trash. Garbage. Dollar-store imitations. You could line up every competitor’s best creation, and Hiro’s would still make them look like day-old bagels left in the sun. Honestly, going anywhere else for donuts at this point feels like cheating on your taste buds.

Bottom line: Hiro’s Donuts isn’t just a bakery—it’s a lifestyle, a religion, a one-way ticket to spiritual awakening through fried dough. If you eat one apple fritter and one maple, you’ll never look at another donut the same way again. And honestly,...

First time visiting since the name change occurred. I arrive around 11am and was surprised to see how little they had in the case. I'm not sure if it was just a busy Saturday for them, or if their selection had decreased. Not even a scrap left in the back case either. Staff is still super nice. But it was the price that was really surprising. I bought a single buttermilk bar and it was $4.00 after tax. It wasn't even one if their specialty deluxe sized donuts - just a plain buttermilk bar...$4.00. The donut was delicious as ever, that part definitely hasn't changed. But wow, I don't know if I can even afford donuts from my favorite...

Went in and was promptly greeted with friendliness. Facility was very clean and inviting. We ordered 12 random donuts and were not disappointed. Yeah I could go get another brand for cheaper but would not be supporting a small business and helping local families. Keep it local and keep the money in the community. If you want a home made donut that is made in house and get what you pay for. Then come here and split a donut because that’s how big they are!!!!! Keep it up...
