absolutely incredible! Have loved them since I was a child. Always fresh and perfect texture. Absolutely massive donuts and the cost is insanely cheap for the quality. Left for 20 years, came back, and they still taste like childhood. And they're open 24/7! 12-Pack - Your Choice - Mixed Donuts is always the way to go. ^_^

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!

The Blueberry cake donut was greasy. The sour cream cake stick was good but very small and thin. The "premium" Jelly donut covered in powdered sugar was dry and there was only a small thin line of jelly. Overall the yeasted donuts were dry, as was the cinnamon roll. Very sweet and almost no discernible or unique flavors.

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!
