Amazing place owned by an amazing couple! Great family atmosphere where donuts and their other food items are made with lots of passion and enjoyment! We are always greeted with a smile and attention to customer service is top notch! This is by far the best donut shop in South OKC and we make it our mission to visit every time we are in town. Highly recommend paying them a visit and checking out their donut assortments and the Jalapeno Kolache is a must!

Stopped in this morning for my usual old fashioned donut and apple fritter with chocolate milk. I was greeted when I walked in. The store was clean and inviting. They have a wide variety of doughnuts and seating is available if you want to eat there. The doughnuts were awesome and still warm. I wish I lived closer, because I could stop in on weekdays too. I highly recommend this place. Great Job. The young lady in DKNY shirt was friendly and helpful.

I wish there were pictures of the old Gerald's Donut shop on the corner of 59th & S. Penn with the giant donut neon sign out front. Does anybody remember that? It was between a muffler shop and a bar. These donuts are exactly like the original Gerald's Donuts....Delicious!

My daughter goes to this doughnut shop on her way to school. She asked me to stop her by one day and she went in and got doughnuts. I had a regular glazed doughnut and it was delicious.

The owner there is very nice! It was our first time there, although a friend of mine had brought donuts to school one day from this location. I shared some with my family and we had to go immediately! Their products are fresh and their prices are reasonable! Go check them out! They are great!
