Lucky Donuts — Restaurant in Redding

HANDS DOWN!!!! THE BEST DONUTS IN TOWN!!! I had never been here until today and I’ve lived in Redding for 20+ years. (I’m kicking myself right now) but I was in a desperate search for maple bacon bars. It’s my daughter’s favorite donut and I had bought her one the night before and showed it to her. But then I ate it!!! So I had to hurry the next morning to get a replacement before she woke up. But every place in town was out. So I called Lucky Donut. And asked him and at first he said they were out but that he would make me some and how many did I want? I told him all I wanted was two and that I did want a half dozen donuts total (of various kinds) and he said gimme ten min. I showed up in 15 min and he had 3 bacon maple donuts waiting for me and literally one of the best old fashioned and crumb donuts I’ve ever had EVER!! Whatever they are doing is insanely good and I’m so shocked I’ve never been here before. But they get a 12/10 for me....

The yummy soft doughnuts are to be expected with most doughnut shops. This one though also has amazing coffee and fantastic prices! The owner's wife and daughter are so sweet although the man is not quite as charming but he still makes an awesome cappuccino. The place is clean. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the really sweet other lady who works there sometimes... she's awesome but doesn't know how to make coffee and on one occasion charged me too much for a coffee (which I didn't protest because I was running late already). Overall the place is great but the family that owns it needs to train their other girl a little better. I try to only go in when...

HORRIBLE and OVERPRICED! Glazed donuts are quite literally air wrapped in dough, with no dough in the middle AT ALL. And they charge a WHOPPING $11 for a dozen. The most I have EVER paid for a dozen donuts with holes is $7.93! And when I say they are flatter than a pancake, I don't mean figuratively...I MEAN LITERALLY! I think their high rating is bogus, and probably entered by themselves and friends and family, because, if I could give them 0 stars, I would. If you want REALLY good, quality donuts, go to Jack's Donuts in Anderson, or if that's too far, then your next bet will be the Donut House on Cypress in the Safeway shopping...
