The Original Rainbow Donuts — Restaurant in Phoenix

I'm back at home Phoenix, Arizona and wanted something sweet, normally I'd have Chocolate Chip Chip Ahoy Cookies but that's a treat I have when home in Michigan with my sister. So I decided Krispy Kreme Donuts, sadly enough the Krispy Kreme I went to on Bell does not make their own donuts (I've never heard that before), nor do they have the main selection I like (maple nor glaze). Then my Sis Thia here in AZ told me about The Original Rainbow Donuts at 15834 N. Cave Creek Rd..... The service is great, the donuts are fresh, the store is immaculate and the price is just what I needed. I was able to chose the dozen donuts I wanted at $13. Then I thought let me get some specialties, after picking out the 5 I wanted he said "1 more donut, it would be cheaper". I'm happy, my grandbabies will be even happier when they wake up. The store opens at 4am. I went at 6am.

I'm told these donuts can last up to 7 days in the refrigerator, just pop in the microwave for a few seconds and they taste as fresh as the day you purchased them, I'll have to let you know if they last that long.

While I know my post is long, I believe in allowing the reader to have a full vivid picture of why I gave 5 stars.

I live in Paradise Peak West, a 55 and up, gated community on East Pinnacle Peak Rd. A few years ago, I took over Coffee & Donuts for my dear friend, Chloe Groeber, who had run it the second and fourth Saturday of every month in our Club House, for years. Chloe insisted I continue to purchase donuts ONLY from Rainbow Donuts, on Cave Creek Road, as they were the best, and she only wanted the best for ‘her people.’ In the beginning, about a dozen people gathered. Word spread of the deliciousness of these beautiful donuts, and over the past year, we’ve purchased as many as 6 1/2 dozen! We buy a variety, people often call or text me to be sure I purchase their favorite, and NEVER have we been disappointed! The donuts ARE the best in the valley. The Apple Fritters, Raspberry Jellies, Bavarian, and, oh my gosh… They’re ALL so fresh, yummy, comforting and delicious, it’s not even fair to pick a favorite! The employees are professional, polite, kind and they never getting annoyed with me as I count and make selections! They are as exceptional as their donuts! If you’re looking for the BEST donuts in Phoenix, RAINBOW DONUTS...

Hands down the best donuts we’ve ever had and we’ve tried a lot of donut shops locally and other places and this one tops the others by a landslide for both quality (taste) of the donuts and variety. Donuts are my son’s favorite thing on the planet and we’ve moved around some so we’ve probably been to 25+ donut shops. We no longer live in the area but when we’re back in town we always try to visit and that means driving 1/2 hr each way but SO worth it. Our favorites are the tiger tail, red velvet and the cake donuts are the bomb. You really can’t go wrong with any of them, even the what is usually safe and possibly boring glazed donut is so freaking good and like biting into a pillow of delicious goodness. Also they are quite friendly and happy to make suggestions as sometimes the selection is overwhelming. Lucky us, we’re in town and it is definitely time to go get some donuts!
