Peacock Donuts

Hate to leave them a 1 star review but their donuts are horrible. I stopped by for donuts on Donut Day. The donuts had a salty taste on the glazed which is really weird (not in a good way). The yeast donuts were hard and stale on the inside which is very disappointing. Not the normal yummy donuts from your local mom and pop donut shop. The coffee was basic and decent, so that deserved the single star.

You get what you’re paying for. Why the negative reviews? Obviously they’re not gourmet donuts or trying to revolutionize the donut industry. Still it’s plain, simple, and reasonably price.
A good, local fix if you’re craving donuts and don’t have the desire to make the commute to buy more fancy donuts (it’s probably better this way since you’d fulfill the sugar cravings without feeling guilty and gross afterward such as when going to other places like Donut Friend in Highland Park).
I like the man working, which I assume is the owner; he’s always nice and polite whenever I visit, a bit on the quiet side. Plus he always throw in a few free donut holes with my minimal purchase.

OMG… They accept Card here. I always hate stopping for donuts because I never carry cash and don’t want to run to an ATM just to get money for donuts.
Large assortment of donuts glazed, cake, and some novelty ones like oreo. Crullers are only made Fri-​Sun!
LOVE the ham, cheese, and jalapeño croissant! The croissant reminds me of the ones made at costco (my fave!)
Tried something new, cream cheese snail (pictured) Kinda like a cheese danish.
Service was good, fast and friendly enough.

The service was good, but the banana nut muffin was not. It had a rubbery texture and an artificial banana scent. Do nut (pun unintended) buy the banana nut muffins!!!

I’ve read most of the positive reviews and can’t understand why the man at the counter is so unfriendly every time I go in. I’m polite and am certainly not rude or unreasonable but every time I ask him to do something for me, he sighs and seems unhappy about it. The first time I went, I asked for two dozen donuts and asked him to put it in two separate boxes and he seemed so annoyed about it. The second time I went, I ordered 4 dozen donuts holes and as I noticed him starting to out them in a bag, I asked him to please put the donut holes in a box (I didn’t want 48 donut holes squished in a bag bc I was taking it to my son’s class) and he was again very annoyed. The third time I went in, I asked for a dozen and told him to just put several different kinds in the box but when he showed me the box, he had only put two different kinds of donuts from probably a selection of 25 different kinds. I asked him then to change some and he was very annoyed, even though I asked him to just choose several types himself so that the customers behind me didn’t have to wait. The donuts are acceptable but I guess I’m not going back again.

The donuts are very reasonably priced and they taste as good as any other places I’ve been.
The guy at the front was very nice. And there is a nice selection, would recommend to anyone who wants a quick fix of carbs for a good price

Not friendly at all. The donuts were so-​so. The coffee was fine. This wouldn’t be high on my list of places to get morning sustenance.

Pretty tasty donuts! Friendly donut man!
You can find a lot of the goodies here are $ 1 or less :)
Parking in located in the back next to an auto shop.

Let’s just say, this week alone, I made 3 stops here before work.
Two of which was for work and one was for myself.
mmMmm, donut holes, fave!
I never heard of this place until I started to work in Arcadia.
I work about 2 – 3 blocks down and my work place orders from them on the regular.
We would get about 2 – 4 dozen of donuts and 1 – 2 dozens of muffins for our events.
And sometimes, we would get donuts from them just because we feel like fatties.
I don’t know the guy who runs the place’s name, but he is definitely friendly and nice also fast on his feet.
Whenever I pick up large orders of donuts, he would always help me with bring it to my car. Make sure they are all secure and ready to go. I love that!
Recommend to family and friends: yes
Parking: 2 on the street in front, and there is a parking lot in the back
Price: reasonable and standard
I am not sure how much my work gets charged but I always get 12 donut holes for $ 1.60 no tax :)

I love this place! Been here many times and always get friendly service. The donuts never disappoint either. They’re always fresh and delicious.
The croissants here are amazing as well! Ham and Cheese croissants are some of my favorite things ever, and the one here is tasty.
Also hey have ca phe sua da! It’s super delicious. Totally earned extra points for me.
This is a really great donut shop, there are places to sit, a nice quiet environment, and good donuts

At almost any donut shop, if you ask them to fill the bars with (in this case) custard, they’ll likely tell you «yes.» Maybe they’ll charge you extra, but at least they’ll do it. Not this place…
Their donuts are run of the mill; nothing special, nothing different. Prices are okay. I suppose if you like jelly filled, then you can get one for a decent price. Otherwise, I’d rather go to another shop where they’re a little more accommodating to their customers.

Five stars for the glazed blueberry donuts! The are a tiny bit crispy on the outside and taste like a delicious blueberry muffin — only better.

so usually the donuts are consistently good but today there was a
fly in the display case and freaked my girlfriend out. so we opted for ice cream which was a good price but when we tried it the ice cream ended up being grainy. which happens when ice cream sits for toooo long. will not be returning unless they get their act together and start selling quality eats again.

Peacock Donuts isn’t fancy. This smallish stand alone donut shop nestled between store fronts and an auto mechanic on the south side of Duarte Rd. may not have a be flashy sign or flat screen TVs adorning the walls, but they have consistently served fresh, tasty donuts at 1980s prices for at least a decade (and probably longer.)
My son and I like to sneak up there on Saturday mornings, and the staff is always patient and friendly with him while he tries to decide what to get through the glass case. Invariably, they always toss several freebie donut holes in the bag for him, too.
On our most recent visit, we arrived just after closing– the nice lady opened up the store and loaded a bag of donuts for us… Pretty sure we only paid for our chocolate milks that trip. Nice people!
Reminiscent of a different time, the modest but clean seating inside and the small outdoor patio, along with the help-​yourself refrigerated milk case and the hand scoop ice cream case make this place a favorite shop. Fresh coffee all day, too.
Don’t go in here looking for a latte half-​caff with a shot of truffle oil… But for that early sugar blast before work, or that workout-​nullifying apple fritter on a cool winter Saturday morning, give Peacock Donuts a try. Indeed, «Donuts… Is there anything they can’t do?»

Not what I expected, but decent tasting donuts. Nothing exciting or inventive about the joint. It’s just shy of a dive, but in an acceptable, kitschy way. Traditional variety offered, with a few gems. My crew really enjoyed the giant chocolate chip and the Oreo.
I would use again if it’s on my way, but it’s not worth going out of your way.

This place is first rate!!! The donuts are fluffy and yummy, the frosting isn’t sickeningly sweet, the service is fantastic and I can’t wait to come back! I bought a dozen donuts, a turkey and cheese croissant, a milk and a med coffee… my total was $ 12.55. Amazing! Annnd I accidentally left the milk on the counter so the owner ran it out to my car before I could leave. This place is a gem in a sea of greesy wannabe shops. I’ll be back for sure!

Very average donuts.
The picture of the oreo donut caught my eye, so I came to check this place out. It ended up being an average donut with oreo crumbs on top.

Lucky for me, they still have the glazed blueberry the ;ast few times I dropped in. Much better than the unglazed ones and not too sweet.
There’s always parking in the back lot. The owner is always there. Although a man of few words, he’s always been a nice guy, at times comping me an extra donut here & there.
My usual order is the Oreo, glazed blueberry and a glazed old fashioned. I’m making this my go-​to place for my sugar fix

I got half a dozen donuts for $ 5.20. I really like their variety. They’ve got all the basic donuts you could ask for like sugar, glaze, chocolate, sprinkles, etc. And then there’s the more exciting donuts like coconut and OREO! (I loved the Oreo one:)
I payed with cash, but if you pay by card they charge 20 cents.
The parking is abundant for this cute little donut shop, but the driveway is barely noticeable. If you’re going east on Duarte, enter the driveway slowly, because it’s so narrow. If you’re going west on Duarte, get your left turn signal ready, ’cause there’s no left turn lane; it’s actually not that bad if there’s a red light ahead.
The man that was working was quite nice. He even threw in a couple extra donut holes for me! Maybe ’cause I’m new :)

Happy to report that they have unglazed blueberry donuts here. :) I get a heart attack from the glazed ones sometimes. I didn’t actually get to come here until later on around 3pm, so there were no fresh donuts to be had.
Picked up the blueberry and large apple fritter. Blueberry is as you would imagine — old fashioned donuts with small blueberries throughout. The apple fritter is mean and in charge. Large, sweet and full of appley filling. I think they also sell ice cream. Dreyers or something and have coffee. .the typical donut thing. I totally could see this place becoming über cool if they did a remodel and changed up their recipe (it’s a bad dark inside).
Service was friendly. Definitely a local hangout … lots of high schoolers were hanging out. Parking is in the back of the store front.
