Dockside Donuts — Restaurant in Tacoma

I "USE" to love this place!!! "USE" to be the Best donuts in town and the family/ staff were vamazing.. They "Use" to be ok and somewhat kind and helpful. I found this place approximately 7 years ago, when I 1st moved to Tacoma area and every now and again you will go and be greeted unkindly or dismissibly... and I would normally just let it go. I figured may be if I kept coming. Being a familiar face you would work up a repore with your customer which would make me want to come back and it was always hot and cold (with the older, bitter, rude woman there)... until the last couple years when I go the older woman... you don't know if you're gonna get her on a good day or a bad day. SHE also get upset if you can't hear them on their broke down speaker??? . Try your best to hear them with the accent or language barrier. Only common sense that you will have times where you and your customer are gonna have issues understanding one another so. Instead of even using the broke down thing why don't you just have people pull to the window?!? And then the attitude the last couple times that I went and always out. They're always out of the donuts that I like, so I think that that is my last experience going there. I don't feel, that l a long term customer that has spent "many a penny: and also has referred people to the establishment .... is how you're supposed to treat your long standing Customers? I've always felt she m the Old woman doesn't like people with darker complexion than herself.... With everything that we've all gone through so yes as of two weeks ago that will be my last! visit. I know they will not miss my money, but I will know! because I don't like supporting any businesses, especially family owned if they're not for the community and for they're clientele that have supported them over the years.✌🏾 .. going to try Variety Donuts I hear their doughnuts are amazing along with their...

I consider this an average donut shop. I and a friend stopped in to have coffee and donut. Again I consider average, nothing extraordinary about the place. It does have drive-thru service; however, we didn't use it. Instead we went inside. We ordered apple fritters and then a cup of coffee. The apple fritter was with flat and shape, very sweet, and on the crunchy side. I was not impressed; however, it was good, but it's not a place that I would miss if I never went there again. It would be nice to find a place that actually put a good serving of apples in apple fritters instead of loading them up with sugar so that they're almost too sweet. The coffee was very hot, which is a good thing, and bitter. The place is clean inside. The ration out napkins you have to ask for for them and they give them out very sparingly. The counter service was okay-it was prompt and courteous. Yes I'd stop in there again but not go out of the way for the place. Oh, and they did seem to have a good assortment of various donuts, maple bars, chocolate bars, apple fritters, regular donuts, etc. You just cannot beat Krispy Kreme for their...

By far, THE BEST PLACE TO GET DONUTS!!!!! I am not usually a donut eater, but these guys have Angel Bars. They come in Maple, Chocolate, and Glazed (I believe glazed is the third). Essentially, it's a maple bar or chocolate bar cut down the middle and stuffed with a yummy whipped cream filling or icing of some sort, and holy Mary Mother of God, it is so good!!!! My favorite is the maple Angel Bar. I come way too often to get them! But the owner is awesome. The donuts always taste so fresh and I have no complaints. Sometimes the store is closed when they should be open but they are open late most of the time, usually 24 hours a day. I have been turned away a few times because they didn't have any, but I'm sure they sell so many of them because they are that good. I just pout a little bit and try again in a few hours. They do have soda in bottles and they sell coffee and espresso. Hubby likes the lemon powdered or raspberry filled donuts. They also have cake donuts which were good. Everything is always so fresh and delicious. So glad I found this place. Won't buy a donut anywhere else. Love this...
