I’m so very confused by the positive reviews of this place. I literally had the worst donut experience of my life here today. Every single donut I bought- 7 or so- was completely inedible. Yes, I went in on a Wednesday at 2pm, and yes, I could tell the donuts weren’t fresh. It would have been nice if they’d had a halfway fresh batch and decent selection available seeing as they’re open until 6pm. Oh well, I thought, I’ve heard rave reviews, I’ll still give them a try, opting for a couple glazed, a couple blueberry, an old fashioned and a sprinkled. Every single one was unsightly and gross. Not just not fresh but bad. The blueberry, usually my favorite, was misshapen and inconsistently baked. The old fashioned was off tasting and cardboard in texture. I could tell the glazed were prob decent fresh but the others were terrible and I sadly ended up throwing the whole box away. To make matters worse, neither employee was wearing a mask or especially friendly, despite the fact that I was the only customer and tipped! Long story short, I’m out $7 and still craving a good donut.
I woke up this morning wanting donuts but didnt have time to stop before work. All day I kept thinking about donuts. Stopped at the first donut store on the way home and was so thankful that I was not able to stop at the normal store. These are the best ones I have ever had. So soft and light and just the right amount of sweet. To top it off the lady who was there was so kind. Young will be my new stop.
I’ve been to all the highly reviewed donut shops in Tucson. Young’s is definitely one of the best. If you like apple fritters, you better get there early. They only take cash so be prepared. Can’t go wrong here for a great donut.
We stopped in for donuts and left with donuts and chicken! Both were delicious. The donuts are light and very tasty. I had the maple glaze and the blueberry cake, my grandson had the chocolate twist and a chicken leg. I took chicken tenders home for lunch. The tenders were so moist, lightly breaded, and fried just right. What a great idea to add Broaster Chicken to an already great donut shop!
This place is absolutely awesome! Broasted chicken is the best Ive had in a long time! The lady who works there is very nice & friendly!
The softest most delicious donuts you will ever eat!The only place for donuts!The now serve fried chicken! So good!
Absolutely incredible donuts. The apple fritters alone will make you want to trade your first born for another bite. The old fashioneds will break your heart. I sometimes have to force myself to keep driving by this place. Get here. Now.Kudos to yall at Young Donut Shop😎
I Take my daughter here for donuts. Always fresh and friendly!
Its an excellent place to get donuts. 😀👍
Wonderful donuts and Apple Fritter. Very friendly owners. Great place.
The owner is kind the donuts are the best in my many travels. So fresh and yummy.
The BEST donuts I’ve ver had - ever!
Traditional donut shop down to the pink box for your bakers dozen of sweets. The cinnamon rolls are big, light and airy.
Order is BEAUTIFUL! So PATIENT! So FRIENDLY! The sitting area is always clean. Just, an environment, one wants to be in.
Best donuts in Tucson, imo, especially for the great price. Cash only, be prepared.
Great tasty donuts from an unassuming local shop! Stop by and taste how donuts should taste.
Sophia is so welcoming and the buttermilk doughnuts are worth their weight in gold. So good.She even gave a doughnut hole to my little son who squealed with delight when he tasted it!
Used to take my son here they called him spiderman was a great shop but I recently went back and they wouldnt accept a fifty and just told me to get change and come back. No thats okay if I will take my business where they can break a fifty if there that broke imagine the shortcuts they do when there making donuts. They need to renovate also was extremely dirty and outdated. Better donuts at Walmart anyway
Great donuts. Chewy, sweet deliciousness.
I have been wanting to try this place since I saw it on a list of Tucsons best donuts. Finally that opportunity happened and we popped in around 1:30PM on a Sunday afternoon to grab a dozen.Perhaps because it was in the early afternoon on a Sunday, they had a limited selection. There was still enough of a selection to get a nice variety. The donuts themselves are definitely light and airy, even in the afternoon I thought the taste and quality were on point. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and sweet as well.So why did I give it three stars and not throw down one extra star? Well, the lights were off in this joint, almost like he was trying to save electricity along with the door being wide open and it was in the mid-80s this particular day. By doing this, he was allowing all the little flying critters to come enjoy some of his donuts as well. As we were selecting our donuts -- there were 2 bees and 3 flies inside the case... sampling the goodies. Kinda gross, although I figured it would not deter me from trying this place and their little feet prints would boost my immune system against whatever they brought in from the great outdoors. The guy behind the counter seemed totally unphased by his little freeloaders.
I think they have the best apple fritter. No this is not the fritter but, this ? is really good too. A Nice surprise awaits, you will find an extra dounut. They seem a bit more home made taste.
Best donuts I have had in Tucson. The apple fritter is still gooey on the inside with appely goodness. Big fan of the strawberry cream cheese croissant and the traditional buttermilk. Totally recommend!
Best place to get donuts in Tucson, hands down. The donuts are fresh, light, sweet, and slightly crispy just the way they should be (not to mention that theyre super cheap!). The owners are friendly, and will add a couple donut holes to your bag just to be nice! I highly recommend Young Donuts, but just remember to bring cash as they dont take cards.
I feel like this place is such a part of Tucson. Whenever I want donuts this is the place. Always delicious and everyones always so nice. I have never had a single bad experience here. The plain glazed? ❤❤❤❤ So good.
I went in here yesterday since I had been wanting some donuts recently and decided to try it. Wont be back, had to get money from the lobby atm since they dont take card. The woman working popped out and saw I was there and went back to the back. I stood at the counter for a good 5 minutes at least waiting for someone to come back out and I decide to just leave. Ill take my money somewhere else with better service. The selection looked pretty regular, like anything I could have gotten at a general food store and like it had been sitting there all day.
Delicious pastries freshly made and absolutely mouth-watering! They even threw in a freebie! Very nice people!
Great doughnuts! My favorite was the raspberry filled one. Ill definitely be telling my friends about this place.
Super fresh..light fluffy cake donuts. Not greasy. Very good
Stopped by to check it out. They take cash only, although there is an atm inside. I got coffee and a couple pastries for just over $3. Very good. Ill definitely stop by again when Im in the area.
They have better Donuts than (am I allowed to say?) I like how fresh the Pastries are.
FANTASTIC APPLE FRITTERS!!! Owner was also quite gracious. 100% worth the tine and effort to go
Great doughnuts, apple fritters and gracious friendly service!Anyone who dislikes this place is only mad because they must feel entitled to be able to use their credit card everywhere they go.Hands down this is the best doughnut shop in Tucson!!!!
Quite possibly the best donuts I have ever eaten. Super fresh, reasonable prices, a wonderful selection, and generous on the fritter size.The place was clean and the woman behind the counter was very friendly. We will return!
So good. Im from LA and miss Korean donut shops. I found mine here! So fluffy. $8.00 for a dozen.
Best doughnuts in town. I don’t know how they make them so fluffy but thank you for doing it.
Reasonable price for a dozen donuts. Best part... They are fresh and delicious, especially their buttermilk cake Donuts!
Poor quality and dismal drink selection. Worker was very unpleasant as well. Too many other good donut shops to go back here again.
Best doughnuts ever! Good price too! No chip so bring cash
Its so important to support local businesses, and they make it so easy to do that here! Ive loved this place for years and they have such tasty treats at amazingly low prices!
Been going here for years, they have fresh baked pastries for great prices. AND they always give samples with your purchase.
In 2019 theres no excuse for not taking any form of electronic payment. The last time I went their ATM wasnt working either so I had no way to pay. I cant patronize an establishment if I dont have a reliable method to pay.
Great donuts! Be sure to bring cash.
Best homemade doughnuts in town. Always fresh. Good variety of doughnuts and muffins. I really love picking up something from here when Im on my way to a meeting. Everybody I share them with just loves em.
Friendly folks. Excellent donuts. Coffee was excellent and fresh even in the middle of a Sunday afternoon!
Oh my goodness. Great people. Dont miss the apple fritters! They are to die for!
Woman @counter nice, but not very enthusiastic. Maybe did not really want to be there, but efficient. Got the job done. Donuts good.
Tough to beat!Go early and get a tiger tail!So happy to have them on my early morning stop.
Best traditional donuts i have been eating them for a long time, Zig is a regular 👍, loves the donuts and service. The fact that you can tell they work ALL the time and probably are just barely making ends meet, they are very humble and treat you well, Zig can tell that in their home country this is first class. I read a couple neg reviews about the door open and no ac, yes im sure they dont mind conserving so they dont throw whatever money they have to TEP.. Giv them some biz people and we will get those great donuts in the future and let them take a day off now and then!!! Cash only, they have a atm inside or you and the pretentious can go across the street and buy all the shatty donuts you want at wal-mart with any check, credit card, bitcoin, etc......and cash back!!!
Best donuts in Tucson! Tiger tail and Fritters are amazing, especially when you get them warm!
We love their apple fritters and bear claws!
I was hoping for a local donut shop that I could/would support in spite of Dunkin Donuts down the street. Unfortunately, even though this place has cheaper donuts, its not clean at all. The first thing my daughter say when she came in was a fly, flying around in the front glass case. Not a very inspiring site considering that is the case with all of the donuts in there. The floors and tables were also very dirty, and the back light in the kitchen was off, which made the place seem empty and lacking support. The front drink cases had the vent grills missing from the front-bottom sections of the machines so youre staring at the refrigerator coils, and the marquee board above the register looked like something from a 1960s diner. I also saw the owner (I assume it was the owner) wipe her nose with her hand just before retrieving our donuts from the case. I wont be back here.
Delicious donuts that just melt in your mouth.
If you are in Tucson and craving a phenomenal donut, look no further. Young Donut Shop will treat you right!
Best place to go in the morning for a cup of coffee and some ddonuts Amazing and friendly owners and workers. Cheaper than most donut shops.
There Donuts Really Delicious Cake Donuts Blueberry filled n Cake Donut n Glazed really Delicious
Stop here once a week for an Apple fritter....best Ive ever had. Friendly owner and reasonable price.
Lightly crispy on the outside soft in the center, sweet but not overly sweet. Price is very reasonable.
Went to try their donuts today, and shop appears to have closed.
Love these doughnuts! Tigertails are my fav, but Im also a big fan of the buttermilk varieties.
Nice selection of sweets.
Good and cheap! Coffee and doughnuts.

Best donuts in town! Try the buttermilk glazed....delicious!
Freshly made and economically priced!
Theres been a hair in my donut each time I went there and Ive been there 2 or 3 times to give it a chance. Not to mention the various flys alive and dead all around the shop. Probably not your best option.
Great service and wonderful donuts. Bring cash or use their ATM.

Not the best tasting donuts (in my opinion) but they are good...and they are friendly and usually throw in an extra donut just because (at least when coming in later in the day).Will return.
