Duke City Donuts

These donuts are next level! Starting with overall quality that really makes the donuts stand apart from any others I’ve had. Always fresh, very clean flavors, & always the perfect mix of ingredients is what makes Duke City Donuts top any others that I’ve had. Never greasy, stale, or boring like so many others. You can really tell that these are made with an extra special something. They never try something crazy either & stick with good stuff that keeps me coming back for more!

First time in and we were hooked at the door! The donut selection is fantastic –Carmel Apple, Samoa, Blueberry, French Toast, Cookies & Cream to name a few. They also serve Piñon Coffee which makes this destination an even bigger hit. The first bite of donut and I’m in love — the texture is a combination of a cake donut and fluffy krispy crème. And the taste was totally fantastic and I’m so thrilled because unfortunately the service was not so friendly or inviting… I’d hoped to be greeted with smiles and laughter because after all this is a donut shop!

Omg I have had the best donuts ever from Duke City Donuts… I ordered 1 raspberry filled and 1 glazed, omg when I took my 1^st bite of the berry I was reborn it was juicy berry filled and delicious, there was an explosion of flavor in my mouth and I wanted to do a silly commercial on the floor about the party in my mouth but Don’t worry folks I restrained myself. now I must say it was a good experience and yummy but let’s talk about the glazed donut it was great and not to sweet but perfect it went well with my hot tea and between the 2 donuts I was dancing in my head like Ginger Rodgers and Fred Astaire singing sweet mystery of love at last I found you and I now know no more Krispy Kream or Dunken Donuts for me ever again I recommend this place highly…

4.5. In addition to a changing array of fantastic donut creations (as if that wasn’t enough) they also make biscuits and gravy from scratch, using locally made sausage. They’re not the usual buttermilk types but a great way to start the day after a late night out.
Very reasonable prices and great service bring it all together. Theres not much to say about the donuts, they speak for themselves. They usually have a bacon-​topped maple, raised glazed and several cake styles, and today they had both butterfinger and cocoa crispy topped versions. Those at just a bit more pricey but worth it to treat yourself.
Just look for the yellow building near the corner of Eubank and candelaria. Do yourself a favor.

Stepped in today for a few donuts… walked out with a dozen. sometimes I can’t help myself. When I walk into Duke City Donuts Im always up for a surprise never knowing if the shelves will be overstuffed or if they’ll be mostly sold out!
today I was in for a treat! They had what I believe the manager called Gold Bars.
Peanut Butter Bar with a lovely chocolate topping similar to a Reese’s cup! Oh it made My Day!!!
We also had a combination of other favorites along with the new flava-​flav of peanut butter & chocolate donut!
Walked out with quite a Kool smile on my face! I’ll be back soon!

As of late I have been disappointed with the selection here at DCD. I normally drop by on my way to work around 7:00 am. The shelves are bare with only maybe six or seven different donuts to choose from. It has been so long since I have been able to get any green chili bacon donuts. Since they started adding burritos and biscuits and gravy to the menu the donuts have taken a backseat.

I don’t care for doughnuts at all. However Duke City doughnuts is by far the best I’ve ever had and I will return whenever I come back. Do yourself right and try a Samoa

Honestly, I had very high expectations for DCD as friends have said they’re the best donuts in ABQ. When I arrived I was immediately disappointed, as they had a very small assortment of donuts to choose from. This was about 9:45 on a Saturday morning and maybe we’d just missed the prime pickings of the lineup but regardless, it felt abandoned. My wife and I each picked out 3 donuts. I chose the classic raised chocolate, a vanilla sprinkled and some sort of French Toast idea. Of those three, the Chocolate one was the best. The other donuts were novelty and didn’t taste great… I took about 2 bites of each and decided they weren’t worth the calories for their flavor. The actual dining area isn’t bad, it was clean and well organized with coffee selections abundant. The establishment is VERY small so if you have a big group you’d be better going to another donut place. I think there were 4 – 5 small 2 person tables.
As a whole, this donut place was a bust. If we returned I’d stick to the chocolate raised but honestly I would need to see a big improvement in customer service and food quality and selection.

Mighty fine donuts!

This Duke City is the one I love, this one, across from the bowling alley. Not those others, I haven’t even been to them and I don’t want to. This is my Dukes.
The kids who work here are friendly and engaging, willing to describe the donuts to me for as long as it takes. My all time favorite is maple cake and they do it perfect here. The cake is always fresh, the maple is thick and fills my mouth without any of that greasy sugar yeasty bleck that sometimes accompanies a donut. No, no, no, never happens here.
They also have a huge selection. My second favorite — lemon anything. Got it. Husband’s favorite — chocolates, specials. Got ‘em. We wandered in here on a Sunday afternoon and every shelf had fresh donuts on it. If I had tried the same thing over at Rebel I’d be lucky if there were a few crumbs left.
Oh donuts! You complete me! I adore your cruncy cakey exterior and long to feel your sugary rush! Maple, maple, maple!

This is the God honest truth. I’m a savory person, I’ve never liked sweets EVER. Donuts have never appealed to me. This morning I went to Duke city donuts to get some donuts for my family. I told the man to give me a dozen donuts randomly and choose his favorites, he did so and I went on my merry way and brought my donuts back to my family. My family was going on about how great these donuts were and I had to have a taste. One taste turned into 12 and I fell in love with these donuts! It’s 10:27pm and I’m tasting the ones that are left and, Oh My Gosh! I am now in love with donuts!!! They are so flavorful and delicious and, for a person that has never liked sweets, these donuts made my day! Duke City Donuts is going to be a regular stop for my weekends, as well as, my weekday stops from now on! Absolutely wonderful!

Damn, those were good burritos, my wife and I had.

To us, this is hands down the best donut shop in ABQ. Service is always friendly, great selection, and fantastically crafted donuts. It may take us over 30 minutes to get here, but it’s worth it every time. The breakfast burritos ain’t too shabby either.

A-​MA-​ZING! I have been traveling a lot lately, and I always search Unilocal for the best donut place. Duke City Donuts is not just the best donut place in ABQ, it’s the best donut place in the last few cities I have been to. I got the Samoa and the chocolate turtle. I’m not a big chocolate donut fan, but I had to try the chocolate turtle. It was good, but not nearly as amazing as the Samoa. I think the best thing about both donuts was the actual donut itself. It was crispy on the outside with a dense, moist, butter-​milky inside. I could have eaten both donuts plain and I would have been more satisfied than eating the best glazed donut at Dunkin’.

Doughnuts and New Mexico Piñón Coffee — along with breakfast burritos and biscuits & gravy? Sounds good to me!
Fairly small place on the inside, but an award-​winning place.
Raspberry-​Filled Doughnut: Tons of granulated sugar on the outside reminded me of Hawaii’s malasada. Plentiful dark red raspberry filling. Light and fluffy.
Pecan Turtle Doughnut: Includes house-​made caramel. Much heavier and quite decadent. If you love chocolate, pecans, and caramel, this is for you. If I tried to eat more than a couple, I likely would have slipped into a food coma and missed the flight home.
Naturally, I hoped to find some dessert with red chile or green chile powder, but no dice this time.
A good place to start your morning, especially if you want something sweet.

Great donuts with some unique flavors: bacon/​maple, chocolate turtle, samoa. they also serve local coffee and house made breakfast burritos were good as well.

This business has gone down hill. It used to be decent, but now all you find there is overly-​sweet donuts and a very rude and cocky staff that makes inappropriate comments or judge you on the day you just want one donut or you are carrying your own coffee, because their coffee is terrible. Summary: there is no reason to waste your time coming here. There are much better donut shops in the NE.

Excellent selection and tasty donuts. I had the apple fritter. One of best I’ve had. Good decaf coffee, too. And friendly service.

I love these old fashioned donuts always the best not to mention the charming place is so old school inviting and customer service, particularly «Albert» is outstanding always greets you when you walk in and is always letting you know what knew creative «Donut» is available, I truly enjoy the only destination «Donut» stop in town Duke City Donuts if your looking for good old fashioned donuts at its finest!

Biscuits and gravy so good I licked the plate. (And I’m picky being a Texan of Alabama lineage.) Donuts so fresh they melt in your mouth. New Mexico piñon coffee. My companion loved his stuffed sopaipilla. Amazing service too!
