Dutch Girl Donuts

💯 the best, Dutch Girl doesn’t disappoint! The absolute fluffiest crueler in Detroit n it was 11pm tasted so fresh sweet and light. Could’ve eaten 3 more! Only reason for the 3 star on atmosphere is cuz since it was late there was a bum outside eaten things from the trash right at the corner close to the entrance..

This is a no frills donut shop. The glaze donuts are amazing. The red velvet donut holes were also good. The service was quick and friendly. The prices are reasonable.

These donuts are excellent and addictive. I can’t eat 1. I need about 3 or 4 lol. Get them in the morning!! They’re so fresh and yummy! Similar to what Elias on grand river used to be.

Busy, busy, busy!!! The workers were extremely pleasant, polite and happy!!! I heard they was back open but I didn't know that they were open 24 hours or I would have been coming here a lot more! Best donuts!! EVER!!!

Best doughnuts 🍩 hands down but I want the owner to take care of his staff. I read people really well and I can tell the staff is there but not happily. Dear Owner of Dutch Girl Doughnuts, talk with your staff and keep your staff happy and just like we spend good money to support you please pay your staff well, without them there is no business, don’t forget that.

Some of the best tasting donuts I've ever had! Will most definitely come try some more soon. Highly recommend!

Had a pretty bad experience with this place today. Donut cutter in Royal Oak is much better. The workers were SO rude, seem so bothered by their jobs and that in of itself makes me not want to go back. Then the donuts…. They were just “ok” at best. I don’t know what the old recipe tasted like, but these weren’t that great. I’d rather go to many other places for donuts. I won’t be back.

I was just in at 8pm on a Thursday, there were donuts being made fresh while I was there, and a steady flow of customers ensured a quick turnover of inventory. The donuts are fantastic and small enough that you can have a couple of them. Very reasonably priced, and all the classic flavors, none of the frilly weird donuts that people make these days to try to make a statement. Just good, classic donuts. It's a small shop, no frills. Friendly and efficient service. Great donuts.

It was my first visit to Dutch Girl Donuts and what a visit it was!!!! I'd heard the stories, but never experienced it until the day I was taken there by someone with very fond memories. I needed the donut with vanilla glaze and blue sprinkles! When I told them it was my first time there, the gentleman behind the counter greeted me and even put extra sprinkles on my donut. I was so excited. I have to tell you that the donuts are wonderful and very fresh so please go there and support the small business that is a gem in the community.

So glad it's back! Now reopened with new owners, they haven't skipped a beat. Lady behind the counter was friendly and patient Well made, delicious donuts! They have added some new flavors with the new brigade and they are fantastic! I miss the raisin donut they used to have, but the new lineup makes up for it. Mmmm Crullers!

Dutch Girl Doughnuts has been bought by a new owner and they have the original recipe. Doughnuts are $10 for a half dozen. FYI they are not open on Mondays. They open at 6am on Tuesdays. This is an in and out carry out doughnut place. No ambiance here. Order your sweet treats and enjoy. As a Detroiter I am a Dutch Girl fan. These are the freshest doughnuts in the city. You bite into them and go "Mmmmmmm".

Old school donut shop in Palmer Park area. Quick service with a solid donut. Had a glazed and French cruller which were both very good

This is so not the same Dutch Girl that I remember. The Donuts are just not the same. It's kinda like they're taking shortcuts on the quality of the ingredients they're using. Prices are too high and just not into the hip hop staff behind the glass ‍sorry

This is a Detroit staple! The donuts are made fresh daily and they are not like your typical chain shop. Open 24hrs. so you can "BIG" your back all hours of the day! Get in and get out! I highly recommend this establishment.

Still as great as it's always been I can't believe it myself, but the raisin donuts are my favorite Glad it's back Sorry about the guest star Thai from May's

I stopped in and placed a small order. They're still good, but not exactly as good as I remember before they closed. The donuts are FRESH, light, smaller, and more expensive! I didn't see any glazed dunkers available today. The line was out the door and down Woodward, but it moved quickly. They have street parking.

I was headed south on Woodward when I had to break for a Dutch Girl where I wolfed down two coconut donuts in the car on the drive to my next appointment. As luck would have it there was a Detroit copper in front of me in line. He was friendly enough. I don't know if he wolfed down his donuts like I did mine. I do know DGD should sell a donut car wash combo deal because you'll need it after stopping here. The building is real old school. the donut prices are not:). Just saying. New obsession. As if I needed another.

finally tried a dutch girl donut. This place is a detroit staple that finally reopened from covid shutdown. The line was long as people se to greatly love this place. the sweet heavenly smell around this place made it worth the wait. The donut was good. Truthfully nothing special though. A decent glazed donut ‍. I wouldn't wait in line again for this but there was nothing wrong just ok.

The best donuts in Detroit! An iconic institution that draws people from all over the metro area. No matter the time of day, (and they're open 24hrs!) you'll find at least two or more customers in the tiny shop!

The place was small and tight However the crew knew exactly how to handle that!! The donuts were excellent

There is always a line which goes fast. Staff friendly and patient. Small establishment so the line is always outside. The donuts literally melt in your mouth. The original glaze will always be my favorite.

Donuts were thick and dry.?I know this isn't what everyone is saying were the best donuts. I was not impressed. I won't be back.

Finally tried this Detroit staple. I would give it ten stars if I could. Thankfully they are not close to me cause that would be dangerous for my thighs. Delicious is an understatement.

The guy seemed irritated because I didn't know what kind of donuts I wanted.I mentioned a few donuts that I ordered previously to see if they had that kind. Add the names/flavor to the donut tray so customers won't continuously ask what kind of donuts you have. The service I received wasn't good.

Early Sunday morning run. Fresh & great selection. Friendly service. Love the crispy edges of sour cream donuts. Yum.

Amazing, even after being shut down and replaced with new owners Dutch Girl Donuts are still the best in town.

I had been seeing this place on the news a lot this year and since there are hardly any good old fashioned donut shops around I thought I would give it a try. We went on a Wednesday afternoon thinking it wouldn't be super busy and they would have a good selection of donuts left and we were right on both counts. Although once our group came in it got crowded quick and then a line started to form. The line went pretty quick but the place is very small so it seems like there would be a line at all times. I was surprised at the variety of donuts and I'm not sure why? Maybe because it was small I wasn't expecting the variety they had but happy with the outcome. Donuts were fresh and good. A little smaller than some of the donuts out there now but in a good way. You could actually have one and not be miserable afterwards. Also the prices weren't outrageous like some of these places are now. Will be back when on this side of town.

Unable to review. Went this morning to get fritters. Got such an attitude from staff person. Left, live in neighborhood. Will not patronize but WILL tell others. No thanks.

They are back lines and all a little pricey for a donut I guess its the nastalgia that we all miss. Just didn't taste the same

Reopened to long lines & devoted customers. My first time here and all in line talked about how many years theyd been coming. This week they're now 24 hours. Being on Woodward just south of 7mile they'll be busy. They have cake donuts, sour cream, custard,glazed, chocolate red velvet,lemon,banana, special flavor combinations. You can watch the donuts being made. I just had several glazed holes and a lemon. The donut was filled lots of filling and it was fresh. The prices were reasonable and service good. Stop by and try one. I'll be back

Dutch Girl is back, baby! I've been waiting so long since I first heard the news that this absolute gem had been rescued, and we were in the area a half hour before closing and decided to take a chance. They didn't have all varieties left, but what they did have was AWESOME! And there was still a line, but not that long. So glad the new owners came along, and the service is still awesome and friendly. Yeah! We will definitely be back, and earlier in the day.

Melt in your mouth Donuts. These donuts come in lots of flavors that suit your taste buds.

Dark night. Still open. Friendly husband and wife staff. Donuts thick and homemade. Fresh hot and sweet. Shared with my neighbors. They loved them.

Please get all your workers on one accord! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I stood in line and it wasn't long. When I placed my order for my donuts I was told I couldn't pay and wait for a certain kind to be done. While a different worker was allowing people to pay and wait, she would write names on the boxes and keep it moving. This was a disruption and disappointment to my morning. Honestly I don't know if I'll be back anytime soon, if I'll be made to get back in line and wait for something and hope it's done by the time I get to the front.

The whole dozen of donuts we ordered were dry plus the lady behind the counter seemed bothered we walked in .... Not coming back

Amazing tasting donuts! Excellent fast service. Nice little store location. Next time I'm trying the coffee. Just learned they are going 24 hours open 6 days a week!

Fresh, delicious and satisfying. This is a great way to clinch your sweet tooth. They have a great variety and super nice people to take your order. This reminds me of the old days when my dad used to bring these home. So good you won't be disappointed.

Word! This place is back open? I cannot wait to grab some old-school deliciousness from the Dutch Girl!!!

I'm delighted they reopened. However it is different. The donuts are smaller and more expensive ($2). And just don't taste as good. I started to give them a lower rating but maybe it was a bad day or maybe they need a little time to sharpen things. I'll wait a while and try one more time cause I SO want them to be good.....

Amazing donuts from traditional bakery filled with Detroit history! The cinnamon rolls and the raisin buns are the best! My favorite is the lemon filled and glazed twist !

I finally made it to Dutch Girl! And boy am I glad I did, the donuts are delicious, with the rye as a clear standout among the 6 we tried. There's usually a line that moves quickly and parking is a challenge. Can't wait to come back here again.

This place is grossly overrated. The donuts are just okay, nothing special, and quite pricey. Apple Fritter in Ferndale has much better donuts and a much better location. I probably won't return.

Reopened for business..since 1947 .. new owners Lynch family took over ! The best doughnuts !! Old school bakery !!! Gotta have it !!!

Food/service. Welcome back! So glad we did not lose this part of Detroit history! Looking forward to your new/old endeavor! Cannot wait for my next visit! Perhaps for tomorrow's breakfast.

The vibe in there was amazing, the donuts are fantastic and the workers were super friendly. When I got in there I told them it was my first time there and they made some really great suggestions and even threw a few extras in to my dozen. I'll be back any time I'm in detroit.

Please note, they have been open for several months-- closed on Sunday & Monday, Open Tuesdays through Saturday 9am-4pm

The price is too high for those little donuts. I go get a regular size donut somewhere else.

Oh my goodness. When I looked up the reviews about this place, EVERYONE was raving about it! I had to get there. I went early in the morning and there was barely any room to stand from it being SO PACKED!!! The standing room is already super small, so me and like 5 other people were in there like sardines and there were people waiting in a line that extended outside. It smells amazing. You see them preparing the donuts right in front of you, down to glazing them - all by hand, then putting them right into the case to be sold. I got a few different ones, but had about 3 of the original glazed ones. Better than Krispy Kreme. Easily. I don't know how a donut could have such a soft but thick cake like consistency, but they do. Mine literally melted in my hand as I held it. It's a place you must go to! Just be prepared for the wait and be sure to get milk to wash it all down. And have an idea of which ones you want before you order because the workers get impatient quickly....... and so do the people waiting behind you!

If you're looking for a really amazing, solid donut, stop here. It's not gonna win a pretty aesthetics or trendy "Instagram" pic donut awards, but if you're looking for melt in your mouth sweetness, these will be hard to beat. Look past the bullet proof glass and lackluster decor, and enjoy the adorable sugary sweet donuts that have been part of the City since 1947. You can thank me afterward.

These are the best donuts in Detroit, hands down. They are Krispy Kreme style, which is really to say that Krispy Kremes taste like (a less yummy version of) Dutch Girl Donuts. In addition to their glazed donuts, which are unspeakably delicious, they also offer crullers and sourdough donuts, each of which is also darn good. If you've never been, I recommend getting a dozen glazed. Just make sure you have friends to share with or you might eat them all. They are that irresistible.

I knew a Dutch girl once. Natasha, if you're reading, I heart you. Probably 4 star donuts, but when you're open in the small hours and so dirt cheap, you're going to get 5 from me. I prefer Dutch boys, and even moreso Dutch girls that were previously boys. And speaking of which, true story. I had quite the experience at this donut shop. A beautiful transsexual girl, who I can only assume was in the adult entertainment industry, due to being dressed in a Shiny Gold bikini and Shiny Gold hot pants and high heels (the likes of which only Barbie would be out in), getting donuts in here. I couldn't help myself but to tell her she was amazing and she told me I was amazing too, and asked me to go back to her car with her. Next thing you know I'm walking her back to her car and she's giving me her number. It didn't go anywhere because I wasn't really going to push for it, had to head back to NY and I already have a gf in the adult business as some of you may know... but it was a really positive experience to add to the fact that they have really tasty fresh donuts and are open really late and are cheap as well. It's in a bit of a sketchy area if you're alone and scared but hey, you know it's worth it for donuts. And if you don't like poor areas, then let's something about making this country share-the-wealth, the way it should, so nobody has to be dirt poor. We have more than enough to go around. Until then let's go for donuts at 2 in the morning from the Dutch Girl, and let's drown our sorrows on the mean streets of Detroit. After all, 10 years from now, all this might be gentrified, vanilla, and dead inside.

I've been wanting to go here for YEARS and we somehow found ourselves driving past it while heading to the DIA on day. So of course we had to stop. And we were not disappointed! If you know me, you know I LOVE doughnuts and am picky about them. The variety of options, the texture and flavor of the doughnuts were awesome. Would definitely go back for more. It's in a kind of rough area, as the bullet proof glass through which you order and receive your doughnuts, as well as a super sweet customer who was getting doughnuts the same time as us warned. Be aware of your surroundings, but it's a really awesome establishment that is definitely worth the trek into Detroit for.

You could be forgiven for driving past this Woodward staple and not looking twice. It's not flashy or fancy, but they serve some of THE.BEST.DOUGHNUTS. I have EVER had! Forget the chains; this is what you crave, even if you don't know it yet! Don't let the bullet-proof glass deter you. The inside is very small, no where to sit (this is a grab'n'go operation), which honestly is just fine because it's not located in the best place, so a quick in'n'out is just fine for me. Having said that, I have never had any trouble (knock on wood) so just be mindful of your surroundings and you should be fine. Parking is available on the side street next to the shop. The doughnuts aren't "pretty" per say, but you won't care because you'll eat them so fast you won't have time to worry about taking a photo for IG. There's a reason that Dutchgirl has been a Detroit staple since 1947.

This was the best donut I've had in my life. Who knew that sour cream would be the flavor to take the prize...if you find yourself anywhere in the vicinity of 7 Mile Road, make sure you stop here.

You know what, there are times where I feel jaded by donuts and that is mainly due to food trends that try to make something so comforting seem complicated and a waste of $8. Dutch Girl Donuts has reminded me that good classic donuts still do exist! They keep it real and don't charge you an arm and a leg for a donut. Hell, I purchased a dozen for $8. Yes, you read that right! It makes me side-eye myself for ever dropping more that $3 on a donut... Of course, I went to town buying a dozen donuts: A Bavaran cream donut with chocolate frosting, some donut holes, a traditional glazed donut, jelly filled...its safe to say I almost got 1 of everything. I'm a sucker for the Bavarian cream donuts. However, if I ever decide to cheat on my favorite donut, I will have to go with the red velvet donut the next time I visit Dutch Girls. That donut was not heavy or cakey at all! As a reminder, this is a cash-only joint so come prepared.

I am one of many of the boomer generation, that can happily say, that I have been enjoying these delicious donuts since I was a kid! I grew up in Ferndale and my entire family would be excited, when Dad would drive to Dutch Girl get us donuts on a Saturday morning. I tagged along with him sometimes and they are fond memories! How absolutely wonderful to have Dutch Girl still here and still serving the public with the best donuts around!! When my daughter & family comes home from Chicago for a visit.. her husband ALWAYS wants to make a trip here to get donuts. He did not grow up here, yet he's hooked! LOL. To the owners and staff at.. Dutch Girl... we wish you nothing but the best for the future. Bless you all for running the business and creating these awesome convections.. Stay strong till COVID is history!

There's so much to love about this one-of-a-kind donut shop. High quality delicious donuts, friendly and quick employees, extraordinarily affordable, short to no wait (not sure if this is a fluke), short drive from downtown, and lots of endearing charm. As a lover of Detroit but sadly not a local, it was hard to choose the flavors without knowing what they were. I paid cash (based on other reviews) and found parking in the back, however others were temporarily parked on the street (they're super efficient). I'm happy to report they're open as of 9/8, I believe their hours are posted on Facebook. Highly recommend their old fashioned sour cream which tastes like a normal old fashioned to me, the blueberry has a strong flavor, and the glazed cake donuts were solid. My boyfriend loved the peanut donut. Can't go wrong with any of them though!
