September 26, 2023

Check out the new signage. I can actually read.the signs now. Hooray! Still the best and freshest donuts in Sacramento.

1/11/23 - Major update announcement. Most of us are aware that the hot chocolate offered in donut shops is made in a machine and tastes, well, awful. Howard's Donuts, the little hole in the wall donut shop in Rancho Cordova, just announced that they have changed the way they prepare their hot chocolate. Howard's is introducing a new hot chocolate recipe featuring Ghirardelli chocolate. I had my first great cup of hot chocolateIf early this morning at Howards. My cup of Howatd's hot chocolate was the creamiest, most chocolatey and delicious cup of hot chocolate I've ever tried. Each sip was amazing. You'll literally savor each sip. Not everyone at Howard's Donuts has been trained on using the new formula. Ask the counter person if they've been trained on preparing the new Howard's Hot Chocolate. If they say no, ask them who has. For many of us, chocolate is our one guilty pleasure. The new Howard's Donuts hot chocolate is so good, you'll bring a date with you the next time you visit. Howard's Hot chocolate made with Ghirardelli chocolate is the best hot chocolate...

This little donut shop is awesome. After moving back here from Washington we had to find a good donut shop. There are no Legendary Donuts here so the quest was on. Howard's is by far yummy in my tummy. Personally, I love the huge apple fritters. My husband enjoys the multiple jelly fills (raspberry, cherry, blueberry and lemon) but his favorite filled donut is the bear claw filled with apple filling. You can get them glazed or crumb coated. The variety here is awesome. They do alot of the old school techniques dipping in coconut, peanuts, crumb coating, etc. There are some non traditional items here as well and the croissants are huge. I'll take more pictures later depending on the crowds. They are covid prepared. Very friendly staff and the coffee is great too. Get here early or call to set something aside. We will...

I stopped at this place one more time because my regular donut shop doesn't have regular donut at that time. Their donut is not different from most donut shop. Unfortunately their service is terrible. The guy came up and said:"What?" I looked like a homeless with dirty baseball hat. I wasn't there to beg for anything. I'm on my way to work. He looks like he an Asian. Is that how he treat people in his culture? No matter what, his shop is to sell stuffs to all customers, not just the people in his culture. I'm sorry. I can find another place for my sweet craving.

By the way, is it me or real. Their large cup of coffee looks pretty small to me. It cost almost $2.00 for that much of coffee? How about the chocolate bar?I think this is the most expensive donut in town. However, their donuts are NOT as good as...
