Allen’s Donuts — Restaurant in Rancho Cordova

Rancho basically has 3 donut shops within a 3 mile radius; this one, one on zinfandel and a third on sunrise/coloma.

This is my favorite donut shop. The donuts are like crispy kreme in the sense that the donut itself is light. But these have a bit more substance and bite vs crispy kreme. Super good and unique, I 100% recommend. Any of their glazed varieties are top notch, and their apple fritter isn't overly sweet.

Allen donuts is the smallest shop of ranchos 3 shop, but with the bestest donuts. The shop on sunrise is very good too. The shop's apple fritter is the best of the 3 shops, it's the least sweet. Their donuts are a bit above average for a donut shop. The donuts themselves have a good amount of substance, and isn't overly heavy. Friendly, I highly recommend this place.

The zinfandel shop is the worst of the 3. It's friendly, but the workers aren't as friendly as the other two. Their donuts have too much substance and are too heavy. This place produces safeway tasting/style donuts. Chewy, dense style donuts. Their apple fritter is dense, heavy, very very large and is way too sweet. The only thing I can recommend from this shop are their donut holes. This shop is also the most crowded and sometimes you'll encounter a local zombie coming down...

Stopped by Saturday morning around 7:00am. The donut selection was full thus plenty of options to choose from! Their donut holes are light and fluffy-very very good. Sometimes you can taste the old oil the donuts are cooked in but not these. These are delicious. I will definitely be coming back as their costumer service was great! From the minute you enter you are greeted with a warm friendly smile and both front and back staff make you feel like family. The cherry on top was the hot and delicious glaze donuts I got for free while waiting to get serviced :). If I could give more...

'20/9 1st time review, but dozen times customer over the past 10 years (5 Star within the confines of below): -- This is a small shop--just one small donut case & four little tables. So, best selection earlier in the morning--once out, that's it until the next day. -- New Hours 5a - 1p (posted on door as of this review). -- One person working shop, so can take a while if a line. -- They also have a small refrigerator case offering bottled milk. Plus a handful of simple...
