Rainbow Donuts And Smoothies

Oh how freeesh and yummie!
Woke up early today and hubby wanted donuts from a competitor. I don’t like the place where he wanted to go so my brain was scrambling. I don’t know why I had to think so hard about this. Rainbow is two minutes from our house. We just don’t eat donuts much and we hadn’t tried it since the owners changed.
I quickly opened Unilocal to check reviews and almost jumped out of my chair. So many 5stars! Wow good sign of course! So I stared reading. Hubby was in the other room and said he needed to change his mind about where to go. After comment reading he was convinced. We brought home fabulous blueberry fritters an old fashioned, strawberry cronut, bearclaw, peanut cronut, Boston cream, toasted coconut filled and another that’s escaping me. No we didn’t eat them all right now but the blueberry fritter was split between us and was fab and I’m a sucker for old fashions and I had to have that with my coffee.
I normally have a big greasy feel on my tongue after eating donuts (the reason I hardly eat them) but not today! Yay!
Better tasting donuts than the last owner for sure; fresher!
I highly recommend you stop in! We will be back

Wonderful donuts! The croissant donuts are AMAZING.

Very tasty, not greasy, specialty donut, only seen in New York City. Rare found in Phoenix!

Best donuts and croissant donuts in the east valley in my opinion. Bosa donuts and dunkin donuts got nothing.

Are you kidding me? MAPLE BACON CROISSANT DONUT. Go here but don’t tell your heart doctor I told you to: D. This amazing concoction made me sad I only got one single donut of this type. I think the lovely donutess (I don’t know what else to call her besides the queen of donut royalty) probably knew I’d be hooked because she asked me «Only one?» with an incredulous look on her face.
This is my first croissant donut, and it won’t be my last! I like them a lot better than your typical donut because of all the flaky light layers. The maple and bacon on top sealed the deal for donut perfection. The combination of sweet and salty, crunchy textures with soft, was out of this world.
I admire their unique flavors and got some other varieties such as red velvet and nutella-​filled. I was also tempted to get a peanut butter croissant donut… maybe next time!
Prices are reasonable and the donutess was extremely friendly and great to talk to. She makes her own bagels and regular croissants too and boasts of making a pretty mean sandwich for those that also want something savory!

Best doughnuts I’ve had by far, taste is a-​ma-​za-​zing! Will definitely be back for more ^-^

Everybody. I have a very important announcement to make. They have cronuts. [Exits stage]
But seriously, Rainbow does have cronuts and I’m told they’re the only ones in Arizona who have it. Please let me know if this isn’t true cause I don’t get out much and you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for a cronut (it’s not my fault that I follow a bunch of Instagram accounts that specialize in food porn and just when I forget what I’m missing out on, lo and behold, there’s a picture of a cronut).
The cronuts looked and tasted very much like a donut on the outside but true to it’s name, were layered, chewy, basically like a croissant on the inside. Honestly, I don’t know how I feel about it. However, I would not dismiss the idea of having a couple more cronuts before coming to a decision. :D
Besides the cronuts, I made the trip out specifically to get the maple bacon donuts. Though Rainbow isn’t the only place in the valley to have these, they are pretty darn cheap at $ 2 a piece. They definitely hit the spot if you like bacon and maple long johns but were a little on the greasy side. The red velvet and caramel cream were good too — I definitely enjoyed the red velvet crumble on top of the red velvet donut.
Service was great, really, really friendly and though I love that they’re open godawfully early at 4AM, they do close at 7PM — so great for bringing in treats for the office, but less great for my late night donut cravings. I was a little surprised when I stopped by on Sunday morning, that they didn’t have more of the fancy donuts (cronuts, maple bacon, and the like) out but they were more than amply stocked on all the other donuts so a donut shortage is not what you should be worried about. What you should be worried about is eating too many of these cause they’re so addictive, and also the sugar high you’re going to have after cause these donuts are pretty darn sweet.

I want Rainbow Donuts to be on every corner! Okay, that may be overkill, but the little heavenly pillows, that are also know as glazed donuts stuffed with whipped cream, are glorious!!! Slightly crispy on the outside, fluffy and fresh on the inside… sliced open and slathered with whipped cream. Seriously, a little piece of heaven delivered to earth in the form of a donut!

One of the best donut places I have ever been to in AZ. Their selection is vast and their standard glazed donuts taste delicious. But what truly sets them apart is that Cronut. The delicate layers that are included in each Cronut provide a unique new texture that is to die for. They have a variety of Cronuts with different toppings etc. My favorite honestly is the Cronut holes, they are like bite sized texture and flavor bursts.
If you’re looking to try something new and tasty, definitely give Rainbow Donuts and Smoothies a try.

Really enjoyed our first time there. …fresh donuts and really liked the apple fritters !!!

This is THE place for donuts. I think the quality of a donut place lies in how good its standard glazed yeast donut is. Well, I had it. Hope you’re sitting down for my description, because it is a haiku:
Deliciously dense,
fluffy, and a touch chewy,
this donut is bomb.
Given that my haiku is your yardstick for how good the donut shop, I highly suggest you stop by here if you are in the neighborhood. I also had the red velvet croissant donut and it was sublime! Sweet, flaky, slighty chewy, crispy, and creamy.
By now, you should be convinced to go here.

Best donuts in Phoenix hands down! The cronuts were also exceptional, soft sweet and flaky! This place could become addicting for sure. The customer service was fantastic, they were great-​kind and very friendly. One of the most welcoming businesses in the area! We’ll be back for sure!

On the way to drop C off at school we stopped in for a donut. Well, that was the idea anyway. The first thing I noticed was the amount of donuts in the case. There were a lot and they all looked great. C loves the pink frosted with sprinkles. I like buttermilks. But they have Red Velvet which K likes. Grandma C loves donut holes. Hmmmm, looks like our stop for a couple of donuts has turned into something much greater. C loved his donut. But then again, what 9 year old kid isn’t going to like most donuts. I loved mine as well. The buttermilk was awesome. Just the right amount of sweet vs cake. A pretty darn good donut. The donut holes were equally tasty. K ate her Red Velvet and said that she wouldn’t mind if I stopped by Rainbow every day after dropping C at school and picking one up. I guess that was a positive vote for sure.
Great selection. Fair pricing. Wonderful customer service. Clean store. 4 Stars

Amazing donuts, amazing customer service, enough said!
The green tea cronut was like a good 5 minutes in heaven! So delicious! The owner was very sweet to us and I wish this place a lot of success. I have a new donut stop now!

I’ve never used heroin or any opiate. However, I do feel like I understand the addiction. The feeling I have immediately after finishing a blueberry fritter from Rainbow Donuts is a little bit of bliss, a little bit of sadness, and a quaking need for more. The second and third never leave me with the same happiness and soon I’m sifting through their dumpster looking for any donuts they’ve thrown away hoping to again reach that initial blast of pure ecstasy.
They’re that good. The fritters are out of this world. The cake donuts are spectacular. The cronuts? Mouthwatering.
Treat yourself. Treat your employees or your boss. Get on the treadmill or go for a walk in the afternoon and think of the sweetness you enjoyed that morning and will likely enjoy again next week. Just stay out of my dumpster.

With Rainbow Donuts moving into the space once occupied by Golden Donuts, I finally tried the legendary Maple Bacon Donut.
Sweet Baby Heysoos. You must try this piece of «Diabetes Delight» — NOW!
The actual donut had a soft and fluffy texture (not much to chew here!), thin layer of maple frosting and a substantial amount of bacon. Like, thick cut, still fresh delicious bacon. .. None of that bacon bits nonsense.
Good thing they require a $ 3 minimum for Card purchases or else I’d be a frequent flier and needing a new pair of jeans.
The store is much cleaner than the predecessor, and the difference in customer service is night and day.
The gent at the counter was more than friendly and was patient with us as we scoped out the donuts.
I’ll be back soon for another 400 calorie bomb, whether it’s the donut I had today, a cronut or that Peanut Butter Crème one.
*eyes roll into the back of my head!*

«Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist the hole!» ― Oscar Wilde
Be an optimist. Stopped in today because of that minx Meagan B. That girl didn’t realize how she’d start a chain of customers today because I inadvertently got my friend Linh L. to stop by afterwards. DOUGHNUTS FOR EVERYBODY!
I had originally came in for the maple bacon doughnut like Meagan but I walked away with a taro croissant doughnut, a green tea croissant doughnut, a red velvet croissant doughnut, a Nutella-​something, and a blueberry fritter on top of the maple bacon doughnut. Oh em gee. These doughnuts and croissant doughnuts are AMAZING! Although the cream/​frosting is a tad too sweet for my liking, I love the actual «cake» part. It has good texture… especially that croissant doughnut. Mmm!
Clean place, Cambodian owned, friendly staff, and carries a wide variety of sweets, savory croissant sandwiches, and fruit smoothies with boba! I think I found a new place for me to get my doughnut craving. My waistline…

The previous tenant was our ‘treat’ go-​to for donuts in the morning before jetting off to school. I don’t like paying Dunkin or KK prices for a meager donut when I can get something a little more substantial at this joint. I hesitated going back after the new sign went up — somewhat emotionally attached to the previous tenant. Finally went in with the kids this time; as luck would have it, I had to pay — imagine that.
I instantly noticed the Cro-​nut sign and my appetite was piqued. In the counter, beautifully displayed were several fun flavors of cro-​nuts. I’ve only ever had one in another donut-​place-​not-​to-​be-​renamed, and I needed to try this one. I got the green tea variety … oooooh yum. I love this. I used to love coconut donuts … now I love green tea ones.
The lady behind the counter was very nice and courteous, no problems with my visit whatsoever!

The drinsk we got were WAAYYY to sweet. liek you knwo when you pour sugar and the top accidently comes off and you hope no one notices. Well, something that that and I definitely noticed. I dumped out my drink after my walk bc I just couldnt finish it. The sugar just masked the entire taste.
And the doughnuts were not superb, average. I hope its because they are still in their opening. I will give them another shot just because the customer service was so good, and I saw a lot of people coming in and out. So i may have just chosen the wrong thing to order. Lets see how this goes!

So I totally made the dumbest mistake by coming to this location thinking this was still golden donuts not even reading the sign at 5:45 this morning and still dark out. I came here because I thought it was golden donuts and could get 6 free donuts for buying a dozen. Thankfully the guy behind the counter was not a jerk like most donut shop owners and didn’t tell me until I was paying that this was rainbow donuts and not golden donuts I was in complete shock and totally embarrassed that I didn’t even look or think about it. The guy still gave me the free 6 donuts and am totally grateful. Always good to know there are still some kind people in this world.
As far as the taste goes everything tasted on point from what I tried. But the real test on which I didn’t get to try yet is their cake donuts (I did try old fashioned and those were awesome) so I’ll definitely be back to try the regular cake donuts and the buttermilk ones as as well.
