One of few stores I never have an issue with. I would give 10 stars if I could. They always give me extra donut holes (6-Pack - Donut Holes ) when I order late at night. It's the cherry on top. The 6-Pack - Your Choice - Premium Donuts are always fresh, soft, and better than expected. <3

Everything was wonderful! Whether your choice or Bill's, it will always be delish! Love their coffee and packaging, always quick, FRESH, and one of the few places open at the crack of dawn. Adore the muffins, always soft and delicious. All donut choices will make your day. Love their yeast donuts, nobody does em like Bill's. Thankful for them!

I absolutely love Bills donuts! They have the most fresh and delicious donuts I've ever eaten. The twists and the pretzel shaped yeast twists are divine. The chocolate peanut butter long John's are amazing and the raspberry filled white powdered buns are hands down the best in the city. They always arrive fresh and sometimes They even throw a new one in there for us to try. The donuts ample size and this place offers an all around wonderful donut experience!

LOVE ALL THEIR BAKERY ITEMS!! NO ONE CAN COME CLOSE TO THE FRESHNESS, FLAVOR & LOVE THAT BILL'S WORKS INTO THEIR ITEMS. WILL ALWAYS BUY FROM BILL'S. (HAVE FOR 50 YEARS & THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONSISTENT.) NO MATTER WHAT I'VE GOTTEN, I LOVE IT. BILL'S YEAST DONUTS ARE THE VERY BEST OF ALL WITH SEVERAL TO CHOOSE FROM.
