Red Coach Donuts

How have we never tried this place before???? We have had a home in Union Pier since 2017 and only today discovered Red Coach Donuts. We have been missing out!!! We loved the variety of flavors offered, it was hard to pick a favorite. I do have to give a special nod to the glazed cider donuts - AMAZING! The staff were also extremely helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.

First time here but won't be the last. Friendly & helpful service that pairs with some AMAZING donuts. Yes, they are a little more pricey than grocery store donuts but the quality and the value way outpaces the price. Do yourself a favor and go get some!!!

Hands down my favorite place to visit. The food is always delicious, creative, and fresh. They never miss with what they serve. The staff??? A WHOLE experience. They are accommodating and beyond friendly. This has become our favorite weekend treat. If you are local or just passing through—Red Coach is a MUST!! You won’t be disappointed unless you sleep in because they sell out fast and once you have a taste you will completely understand.

So glad to have found this place. I frequently travel from Chicago to SE Michigan and donuts are an important part of that trip. I don't know how I've missed this place for seven years, but now it's going to be a regular stop. I LOVE how they use the local produce for their donuts. When I was there, a peach fritter was the donut of the day. I overheard someone explaining that they make a puree from local peaches - which is a great way to concentrate the flavor. There are three categories; Regular Donuts, Specialty Donuts and Pastries. They are nicely separated on the display and priced accordingly. A lot of thought, effort and skill goes into these creations. It is appreciated. I opted for a cherry fritter and a bear claw - They were both amazing. The staff was friendly and the building is really nice. This will definitely be a regular stop now - I just have to remember that they're not open on Monday or Tuesday.

My husband has been bringing home these donuts a couple times a month for probably eight years now. I'm glad he enjoys them, really the only reason I'm going with two stars instead of one. I used to like their sour cream donut, but for the last couple years it's had such a thick glaze on it, it is too sickly sweet to enjoy. The blueberry donut isn't too bad, but it's often too sweet as well. I know, it's a donut, it should be sweet. But not so sweet that I can't eat it. The ones that have a chocolate glaze on them, taste like sugar alcohol. I honestly have no idea how this place is so highly rated.

I consider myself a true donut connoisseur. Many of our family vacations are planned around trying new donut spots. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The establishment was clean and the donuts... OMG! The tiger tail and apple fritter were some of THE BEST donuts I've ever had! And my husband really enjoyed the cherry cream duo stating it was one of the best donuts he had ever had as well. All of the donuts we selected were fresh, flavorful, and decently sized. I am so glad we discovered this place on our recent vacation. I cannot say enough good things. I highly recommend the donuts at Red Coach!

Wow is the best description I can say. Everything is so freshly made from scratch and flavors so amazing thought out. The owners/doughnut makers are former chefs whose plates have made a beautiful transition into the bakery/ doughnut world. Go early because they will sell all of them lol

As local as it gets. Cute. Clean. Fun experience. VERY kind young staff members (think chick fil a nice/kind). They serve Forte Coffee, which is solid if you enjoy specialty coffee. The doughnuts are extremely tasty, and the variety is off the charts. We’d highly recommend giving this company a try. Make sure you go early in the morning if you want to have the full menu. Once they’re out, they’re out.

We loved every bit of our visit to Red Coach Donuts! We actually came here four years ago while staying in New Buffalo, and now that we were in St. Joseph, we knew we had to come back! Turns out it was just as amazing as we remembered. The donuts are fantastic, with a huge variety to choose from, and the savory pastries were absolutely incredible. You can tell how passionate they are about what they do. The attention to detail in every flavor really stands out. Everyone who worked there was so genuine and friendly, and we appreciated how the large booths easily accommodated our big family. Such a wonderful experience all around! I highly recommend a visit to Red Coach Donuts!

THIS PLACE HAS SOME OF THE BESTTTT DONUTS IVE EVER HADDD! I tried to red velvet, glazed, blueberry, and bow tie and simply could NOT choose a favorite! The donuts are light and fluffy and come in a variety of flavors. I also loved that they had options for coffee (ie lattes)! The inside has lots of room for seating and the outside patio is adorable! The staff is attentive and quick. Overall, sooooo glad I found this place!

Delicious over the top take on most all gourmet donut choices. Very cute place to hang out and chill for coffee inside or on their patio. Great personable customer service too. I'm from out of state but visit the area once a year, I will be returning.

Best donuts in the area for sure! I was very impressed! I highly recommend coming here!

The donuts here were so soft and fresh. I got a chocolate sprinkle donut and my partner got a strawberry sprinkle. Frosting wasn't artificial tasting or too sweet! Service was fast and there is plenty of space to sit and enjoy food inside. If you have a specific donut want I recommend going when they open as they do sell out.

Best Donuts anywhere, love my Saturday morning trips for a few sweet treats . Not your normal everyday items truly an adventure every weekend. Seeing what's new and just relaxing enjoying the morning with my favorite treats.

The donuts here are phenomenal--if you can get one. The thing is, it's not likely. Their hours are 9-12 and if you get there at 10a, there are only like 3 undesirable donuts left. This isn't LA. It's a small town. Make enough food to justify staying open or change your hours. I will update my rating if I ever get one of these donuts. So far I am 0 for 2 on Saturdays.

Got a dozen donuts a few times they were always tasty and fresh. Cost was about $25. I thought that was a little on the expensive side but I have not bought donuts the last few years.That might be the going rate?

Great tasting donuts with plenty of variety! Just wish they were open seven days a week.

I tried a Boston cream, jelly bismark, lemon bismark, glazed, and a maple holland. The donuts are just ok. I would not go out of my way for them and I greatly prefer Black Currant in Union Pier.

Every single donut we tried was heavenly! Visiting from out of state and so happy we found this place. I definitely recommend!

Friendly employees. Delicious donuts, especially the almond bear claw. Fantastic latte of the month, hazelnut vanilla. Must go!

The Donuts here are very good, I sometimes come in the morning to get some delicious donuts. I recommend Red Coach Donuts. It's also very clean and the staff are very friendly.

Man, I'm telling you these donuts are incredible! The variety is outstanding! The young associate who helped me was absolutely awesome, made the experience that much better!! And the building ambiance is impeccable, I cannot express how great this place is, if ya love donuts!! A must stop, slow down life and take a minute to enjoy this wonderful oasis!!

Wow! Our family makes it a mission to stop at donut shops anytime we travel. Today we stopped at Red Coach Donuts and were beyond impressed! The staff were incredible. They took time to answer my many questions about the wide variety of donuts! They were passionate about their donuts! The donuts are amazing! I don't think I can pick a favorite. Highly recommend stopping for a fresh donut...or a fresh dozen! (When I say fresh...I mean made from scratch every day!) This place is doing it right!

Super delish donuts! Tried a few classic flavors and they did not disappoint. Lots of room inside to sit and enjoy a donut & coffee. Full coffee menu too for lattes etc. Will definitely make sure to be back!

Great donut shop near St Joseph. They have a wide variety of donuts of the cake and yeast styles. A few seats inside and outside. Very friendly service. Definitely stop by Red Coach if your in the area.

Red Coach Donuts is hands down the best place to buy donuts in Southwest Michigan. Lots of choices from old fashioned favorites to new delicious creations. The people who work there are always smiling, friendly, efficient, and patient especially when the kids are deciding which donut to choose! There is plenty of seating and it's bright and clean inside. We are Wednesday morning regulars and could easily be daily customers if we lived a bit closer.

Donuts were awesome. Very friendly with outstanding g service. Big time variety, very good experience !!

Absolutely positively some of the best donuts I have ever had in my life and I travel a lot for business. The variety is incredible, the staff is extremely helpful and the place is definitely worth visiting if you're anywhere near the area.

Amazing donuts. Great service. Came around 9 am on a Saturday. First time here. Not from Michigan. Got a dozen, asked for two Oreo and 2 Toffee to start. They only had one of each. The owner offered to top donuts for me if I didn't mind a short wait. Beautiful location. Donuts are very moist, not over fried like most places. Really nice selection. Will definitely be back.

I have a Bulletin board on the inside of the café. Persons are able to purchase tickets for coffee and a donut and post it on the board for people who are lacking or in a deserving mode. Such as if you r or were a veteran, nurse, school teacher etc.. Pull the ticket and that will make your purchase at the counter. Masks are lacking - as there is little cleaning of the tables. By the hired help. Bunch of young kids no older staff to direct them. All in all it's a nice place!

They make the absolute best donuts in the St Joseph/Stevensville area! You won't be disappointed.

Stood in Stevensville not too long ago and had them one morning. Very good. Monkey bread (?) was awesome. Went back to Bridgeman last week and went back for more donuts. Awesome as expected.

Great place, huge selection, and friendly staff! Also has good coffee...will definitely be back.

Kind and efficient servers. Donuts always are fresh and tasty. Coffee taste is perfect with the donuts

I was so excited to see they were open for curbside pick up. I placed my order and received on time. They are SO yummy and fresh. What a treat!! Thank you

Best donuts in Southwest Michigan or Northwest Indiana. I live in northwest Indiana and try to find reasons to go to the St Joe area so I can stop in at Red Coach. They make them fresh everyday and sell out sometimes. Get there early! Quick and easy off/on Interstate 94.

Not sure what happened, I tried apple fritter because of recommendations, worst I every had. Item was stale could not find the apple in the apple fritter. Also tried bacon long john, tuff tuff tuff. Would have expected better we were there at 7am. Thought we were getting fresh made pastries what we received seemed to be day old pastries sold at full price Good by won't be back

Delicious donuts! So glad to see businesses owned by local people - Larry (red coach) was a staple in the hockey community (as a coach) when I was a kid & I'm glad to see that he owns a business. I was glad to find the novel "mini" fritter concept - so great for tiny mouths or tiny tummies :) Fast service & better yet - a really nice price. We would pay $4.50 a donut in Seattle for comparable donuts.

Fast service, good prices, tasty donuts, big variety, good parking, and convenient location. Great spot for a snack.

This is a fun place to go. Delicious donuts of all types and sizes. Quite the temptation since I live rather close. Just wish they could expand their days to include Monday's. More places need to be open on Monday.

Awesome donuts! I absolutely love the cinnamon pockets, sticky buns, and the monkey bread is amazing. Such a little gem of a donut shop!

I cannot recommend this place enough! The staff is so friendly and I loved the old school feel. The donuts were delicious! Very yeasty and airy, which for me, is the perfect donut. They were so fresh and delicious, I couldn't get enough. Coming from Chicago, there aren't many places like this in my immediate area and after trying this place out, I think I'll be making the 2 hour drive more often!

Super cute, great staff, and awesome pricing! We got the variety dozen and loved all the flavors!! Definitely need to visit if in area

Sad! Drove an extra half hour the day after Election Day to come here. Had a sausage filled pocket thing and another donut. Both were cold (seemed like they were kept in the fridge before). I was just so disappointed because for a couple of years, Stevensville was the turnaround point for when I would teach the kids how to drive and I always wanted to try this place.

Delicious donuts at such a reasonable price! I think each donut was $1 which is rare for a good speciality donut. Highly recommend trying this place out!!

What a fun small town donut shop with big city flavor! Great experience! The design and the location of this little shop is part of the fun but you won't be disappointed by the amazing variety and incredible flavor!

Best fresh donuts! Super cute store and great selection for all donut lovers. A gem! We will be back before we head out of town.

BEST DONUTS! Their selection is insane and always fresh. Huge community supporter also!

Finally made it here after wanting to try this place for months and it did not disappoint. My blueberry donut was soft and delicious. My husband said the apple fritter was one of the best he's ever had. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. I'll definitely be back.

Went in, tables were dirty. Donuts were sparse and the donut we did have (s'mores) was sour inside when I tried it after I got home. Called in to complain and was asked a bunch of questions as to what I may have done to the donut. Didn't feel like they were concerned with the fact that they may have produce a bad batch of donuts. Just told me that the next time I come in that they would fix the issue. Problem is that I will never want to go back there after a sour donut. Went in to get a refund, felt very insulted by the lady who accused me of tampering with donut. She almost refused to give me the full refund. Buyer beware!!

We're from Ohio, so not sure if we are just used to fluffy donuts with filling, but these donuts were dense. The bacon maple one almost feels too dense with nothing in it. I got a custard filled they called Baravian, it didn't have much filling in it. The coffee was burnt. Was kind of excited, but we had to stop for food again an hour later since we stopped eating the donuts.

The options here are fantastic. Every donut I ordered was delicious. Red velvet, lemon meringue pie, raspberry Bismarck, Bavarian long john; all great. I would get these everyday if I lived in the area!

Ordered Red Coach Donuts as a dessert for our wedding. They were amazing! Joy and her team put me at ease, had all of the donuts packaged and ready to go when I got there, and delivered with the same amazing Red Coach taste! My only mistake was not ordering more! The guests at the wedding loved them so much that they were all gone!

We had these donuts at a wedding last weekend and they were so great! Everyone loved them. Woke-up Sunday wishing I lived in Michigan. What a great idea for a wedding. I can not wait to visit the store now!

I had an early morning, so I decided to try Red Coach. I went a little after 7 and was pleasantly greeted by staff and a very bright space. I got half a dozen donuts and a large coffee. I'm a bit of a coffee snob but their house coffee was delicious and did not have the burnt over-roasted flavor of most coffee made en made. The donuts were amazing! I could tell they were fresh and made with care. I ate 3 out of the half dozen (two cake and one yeast) and I had to stop myself from eating the whole box. I highly recommend this place. It is worth getting up early for.

Very nice space! Mocha was delicious and the monkey bread was great too! Very busy this morning, get there early for the best choices.

My family and I LOVE going to Red Coach on our lazy Sunday's. Coffee, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, we couldn't ask for more!
