Allens Donuts

The donuts are great, the service is friendly, the selection is good. They have one good-sized display case with every type of donut you would expect a smaller shop to have. We were there around 8am on a weekday, and they still had a full selection of donuts left. We bought a dozen mix of glazed, sugar, and chocolate bars. They were all great, and they came with glazed donut holes thrown in for free!

Rancho basically has 3 donut shops within a 3 mile radius; this one, one on zinfandel and a third on sunrise/coloma.

This is my favorite donut shop. The donuts are like crispy kreme in the sense that the donut itself is light. But these have a bit more substance and bite vs crispy kreme. Super good and unique, I 100% recommend. Any of their glazed varieties are top notch, and their apple fritter isn't overly sweet.

Allen donuts is the smallest shop of ranchos 3 shop, but with the bestest donuts. The shop on sunrise is very good too. The shop's apple fritter is the best of the 3 shops, it's the least sweet. Their donuts are a bit above average for a donut shop. The donuts themselves have a good amount of substance, and isn't overly heavy. Friendly, I highly recommend this place.

The zinfandel shop is the worst of the 3. It's friendly, but the workers aren't as friendly as the other two. Their donuts have too much substance and are too heavy. This place produces safeway tasting/style donuts. Chewy, dense style donuts. Their apple fritter is dense, heavy, very very large and is way too sweet. The only thing I can recommend from this shop are their donut holes. This shop is also the most crowded and sometimes you'll encounter a local zombie coming down from their fix.

Great little place, amazing doughnuts! I went twice in 1 day I liked them so much, LOL! They had a big variety,the services was great and quick, as well as good prices. I will definitely be back.

'20/9 1st time review, but dozen times customer over the past 10 years (5 Star within the confines of below):
-- This is a small shop--just one small donut case & four little tables. So, best selection earlier in the morning--once out, that's it until the next day.
-- New Hours 5a - 1p (posted on door as of this review).
-- One person working shop, so can take a while if a line.
-- They also have a small refrigerator case offering bottled milk. Plus a handful of simple coffee options.

The young lady at the counter is extremely people friendly, I enjoy her enthusiasm. The donuts are always fresh (made daily) and the customer service is quicker than most donut shops I've bought from.
