Danny's Mini Donuts — Restaurant in Sacramento

We bought my mom a Groupon for Dannys Mini Donuts for Valentine’s Day and we were with her when she used it over the weekend and the service was great. The young lady helping us was very friendly and helpful, we didn’t feel rushed or pressured to order right away, which I think is always a good thing especially when you are a first time visitor to any establishment! We had a look around the store before ordering and watched all the mini donuts get fried and make their way through their little sweet ride of deliciousness. The toppings offered for the donuts were cinnamon & sugar, chocolate, strawberry or powdered donuts and of course sprinkles too. The ice cream selection was great as well its all Thrifty ice cream which we love! I also saw some mini pies in the small case on the counter and soft drinks and coffee are there as well. My mom was able to use her Groupon with ease and hassle free she git her 2 dozen mini donuts (1 dozen cinnamon sugar & 1 dozen chocolate) and we were on our way out the door. The donuts were piping hot and so delicious they just melt in your mouth! I think our only complaint would be the counter could be cleaned up a bit or wiped down, but I get that there is a lot of stickiness going on/bound to happen, but light wipe ups in between rushes could always help that! We will definitely come back to Danny’s again. Thanks for making our first trip to downtown Sac...

First, this is no longer Danny's Donuts, it's a shop called Knotty Knots. Don't let this 4.6 Star review influence you into thinking it's still Danny's. My wife and I always drove by Danny's and never stopped, today we decided to stop and we didn't notice the change of name(our fault).

Second, this place is absolutely horrible. The "donuts" that are supposed to be "Pillowy, Chewy, Airy" were anything BUT advertised. The "Knots" were broken up donuts with a knot in the middle. EVERYTHING was COLD and hard to chew. The variety of donuts were pretty much all glazed but with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar topped on it. They didn't even have any "naked" variety as we were told it'd be 15min+ wait for those.

Third, the pricing for what you get, is a horrible ratio. I get it's old sac and it's bound to be expensive but at least give me fresh, hot donuts not whatever it was we got. $24 for the total amount of maybe 3 whole donuts you'd get for $3 at your local Safeway or BelAir.

Save yourself the trip, save yourself the money, save yourself the disappointment.

I hate leaving bad reviews but the fact that this place is riding off what Danny built is absolutely ridiculous. Utterly...

I saw the ad on groupon and decided to give it a go since my nephews love donuts. The donuts they have on display looked good and we ordered them all with the chocolate glaze and sprinkles. We were pretty excited -- my 2 and 5 year old nephews were wowed by the neat mini donut conveyor (it is pretty cool to watch, for that reason they get a star) but sadly the taste and presentation were lacking. They lumped our 24 mini donuts in a box, then drizzled watery cocoa mix - not even chocolate syrup, it was some weird powder mixed with some liquid...very watery and looked nothing like the glaze in the sample donuts...but I guess they never do.) Maybe the powdered or cinnamon sugar donuts would be good, but sadly we just had 24 greasy, watery chocolaty flavored loops. The kids liked them -- Danny's gets a second star for that (granted these kids don't get much sugar, so they would eat spoonfuls of straight sugar if...
