Dino’s Donuts

I am here on business from Seattle, first time at this donut shop, staff is very friendly, helpful and the offering of donuts is fantastic. I am not a big donut eater, but I bought them for my customers and they looked so fantastic I probably will eat one. :)

I’ve had donuts from Dino’s many times at work, or at church, or just because someone brought me one. Until this week I hadn’t stepped foot in the shop yet.
We arrived at 6:10am on Monday morning after driving in from Wasilla for work. I walked in and was welcomed with wonderful smells of fresh coffee and sweet donuts and greeted immediately. The girl working the counter was patient and answered our questions.
They had a variety of donuts, frosted, cake, fancy, and different sizes. I chose a Maple bacon (surprisingly super yummy!) and a Chocolate cake donut with peanut butter frosting. I enjoyed both and probably inhaled them faster than I should have! My boyfriend got a donut breakfast sandwich with his donuts… Interesting idea. I had a couple bites and it tasted amazing but the donut seemed super greasy. Probably from the sausage? I could probably only handle a couple bites.
The donuts were delicious, fair priced, and extremely fresh. My boyfriend was pretty happy with his as well. My only complaint is that I’d like to see more flavors, and more of a variety. I’m from Washington and they have some awesome donut shops back home. However, We will be back :)

This spot is a family favorite. The location is pretty close to our house, so it’s not much trouble to get there. The shop is off the main roads, so keep an eye out for Oriental Express. Turn into their parking lot and keep going… you’ll see it. They have a great variety of choices for donuts and drinks. Our whole family prefers their glaze over Golden Donuts. I’m not a huge donut fan, but I’ll eat these… especially the cake donuts. The kids prefer the dino bones. Great place!

I recently visited this doughnut shop and was very impressed with the service and wide selection of doughnuts!

One of the two spots I frequent for donuts in Anchorage. It’s easy to find at least one donut I fancy. This time I chose Bavarian cream filled maple donut.

Dino’s Donuts does a wonderful job of creating tasty and delicious donuts. Considering I am not usually a donut person says something. I like the convenience of their being open at the horribly early time of 4:30 am. I occasionally stop by and pick up a box of delicious treats to bring into work for my shop to enjoy. However I’m not a fan of their bitter coffee.

I came a bit late in a weekday, around 2:30 so they didn’t have a huge selection. They had some standard donuts still available. I got a Regular glazed and an Oreo crumble fancy donut. Both were really good! I’d have to come back earlier when they have a full selection of fancy donuts. Other than the topping, I didn’t think they were super fancy or extra special, but I am spoiled coming from Southern California. It was good and I’d probably comeback if if was buying a box for the office since they have a more fun selection, supposedly in the morning. Anyways, since they are 24 hours I can’t expect them to have everything available at the end of the day. I might try their lunch one day, since they keep popping up in my Facebook feed :/
I came back on national donut day at 11 am and continue to be disappointed with their selection. They had 5 choices of cake donuts. I still bought some since I was already there. I ate the chocolate one right away and it was SO DAMN GOOD! I think their shelves are heated because it was warm and almost literally melted in my mouth! So I think they do have super awesome donuts, but it’s not worth it if you come after 9, maybe, since their selection sucks as you get later into the day. It’s probably awesome for you early birds, but for a donut later in the day I’ll go to golden donuts :)

I am from Michigan and ordered donuts delivered to my son’s office for his birthday. They arrived on time and were described as «GREAAAATTTTT»!!! Thanks so much!

I’ve never had a bad experience here! The food is great!

Great sour cream donuts. Nice crunch on outside. My wife likes maple glazing and they added that while we waited. You like donuts? This is your place.

DINO’S!!!
If you don’t love Dino’s, you are donut-​ignorant. (That’s a bad thing.)
Donuts are sortof taken for granted, but if you really love them, as my husband does, you learn to find the best of the best and appreciate them for the extra effort put into each little morsel of delight.
This is not the number one donut place we have found (see my review for Granny’s Gourmet Donuts in Bozeman, MT) but — it is in the top three.
It’s difficult for me to love a donut more than the buttermilk bar. It’s a massive tragedy that buttermilk bars are seldom seen outside of California. Dino’s makes some amazingly delicious and mouthwatering buttermilk bars. Right there — they win. But in addition to that, they have a really lovely selection of other types of donuts to choose from. Their peanut butter and jelly donut is phenomenal, but the peanut butter devils food is even better! They have a donut with fruity pebbles, a really good coconut cake donut — actually, all the cake donuts are fabulous. Too many donut places focus on raised donuts — nothing wrong with that, raised are delish. But cake are far superior donuts and not everyone makes them correctly. Dino’s makes them nice and moist, dripping with whatever amazing topping goes on them, making my mouth water just thinking about it!
They also make pretty darn good coffee and the staff couldn’t be nicer.
If only they were open 24 hours a day… Sigh…

It’s weird to say that they have a limited selection because there are 100’s of donuts for sale, but I feel like there were only about three varieties. I arrived pretty early in the morning only to find the maple bars were already sold out and was told they only make «about five a day.» It seems to me that if the five you make sell out by 7:30 AM, you may want to make more considering YOU’RE A DONUT SHOP! The front staff was all teenagers who weren’t exactly talkative or particularly friendly. Haven’t tried other options in town but I will now, or just stick to grocery store options.

Went here hoping it would be a good doughnut place sadly I was wrong. The staff was very rude, the doughnuts were old as hell, and the place wasn’t very clean.

I don’t get what all the good reviews are about. Went in at 5 in the morning. Place was cute, and smelled awesome, so I was pretty excited. There were a few groups of teenagers hanging out, but that’s to be expected at weird hours during the summer. We ordered a dozen donuts for the family. They were a little spendier than we expected (13.25 when I normally pay 10 bucks at most) but they looked good, so I wasn’t bothered.
Then we actually got the donuts home. Out of the dozen, two got eaten, a few more got picked at, and the others just got thrown out. They weren’t good. They weren’t fresh (I have no idea how that’s possible because it was FIVE AM but they weren’t) and even if they had been fresh, I doubt they would have been much better. They just weren’t good.
You’re better off going to Carrs for your morning donuts. They cost 6 dollars, and they’re actually edible.

Went to pick up a dozen donuts for National Donut Day this year! They were really busy, which was expected, but really fast service! The donuts I got were pretty good! Not the best I’ve ever had, but good :) They had a pretty good selection of different flavors too! Loved the doggie bone shaped donut! Creative!

I’m from Chicago a major city with a true donut dearth. But that doesn’t mean I don’t know good donuts when I have them. Dino’s glazed old fashioned? Piece of heaven that’s all. My recommendation? Get some!

Dino’s is my go-​to for donuts that I bring to my clients. They are invariably thrilled to see the Dino’s box, and always say «Ooooh! Dino’s! They’re the best donuts in Anchorage!»
I’ve docked them one star because they eliminated the punch-​card program.

Nice little family run joint. Everyone was wearing bunny ears for Easter, even the dude ringing me up though he didn’t look particularly pleased with it. He gave me a plastic egg that contained a couple pieces of candy. I also got a juice from the fridge. Total came to about 4 bucks. It was a nice catch up time with the family.

I thought their mini apple fritters were perfectly cooked and a great size. Best apple fritter I’ve had in a long time.
However, the apple filled powered donut I got had less than a teaspoon of apple filling it in. I’m not exaggerating in the least. I took a big bite and got no filling, then another with nothing, so I pulled it apart. Not what I pay over a dollar a donut for. Will definitely go back, but only for the fritters.
Great service– very friendly and had multiple people working the counter on just a week day morning.

My coworker and I picked up two dozen donuts for a client meeting this morning and overall, were happy. Can’t ask for much at a place like Dino’s – they have standard, basic donuts. Nothing fancy. No crullers (sad), but the rest, they got.
Not Portland’s Voodoo.
Not Dunk’n Donuts.
Not Krispy Kreme (in a good way).
Just your average donut shop.
If you want a cheap, classic donut, go here. If you want amazing morning service, don’t go here – the chick that helped us could have used more coffee because she was Miss Grumpy Pants.
