Liv’s Donuts

Livs competes with all the famous donut stores available and something Clovis needed. The bacon donuts are to die for! My son asks regularly to come and my husband has made it part of our weekend routine.

My amazing manager from a previous job would bring the employees a few dozen donuts every Saturday or Sunday :) I’ve always wanted to try one of these «specialty» donuts. They started popping up all over Instagram lol if you have an Instagram then you know what I mean!
M&M’s have always been my favorite candy! So when I saw it topped on a donut… Oh my goodness I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was delicious to say the least!
I’ve only been into their shop once, since my manager would often bring them to work for us. When I visited the shop, I was disappointed to only see one variety of the «specialty» donuts, which was topped with lucky charms. I guess that’s what I get for waiting until 1:45pm to stop in.

By far the best donuts I’ve found in Fresno and Clovis combined. You wouldn’t think there would be much difference in donuts, but it’s the dough that use… it’s awesome!

Not sure if there good, didn’t get to try, had no selection. So left… Was during business hours so I should have the same option as everyone else especially if the doors are open. Will review again if I ever make it out that way again

I brought my daughters here on a Sunday morning, around nine in the morning. I was sadly very disappointed in their donut selections. They were sold out of nearly everything. I expect the selections to be a little limited when arriving so late, but considering the store stays open into the afternoon hours, I also expected that they would have a decent variety of donuts at 9 a.m. We were able to find a few donuts to eat, but I did not find them exceptional, and while we may be back there again, it won’t be anytime soon.

I cannot explain how deliciously awesome the donuts at liv’s are, but let me tell you they are the best donuts in the Fresno Clovis area. So light and fluffy and perfectly cooked and an amazing array of toppings that are available.
Don’t miss out on this one.

Ehhh. That’s my reaction to these donuts. I was not very impressed.
The dough is thick and overly crispy on the outside. Their speciality donuts were WAAAAAY too sweet and their chocolate filled donut was bitter on the inside.
I don’t think I will come back. I’ll just stuck to my Judy’s donuts!

Good donuts, and fun designs… but NEVER ready in the morning! Don’t open at 5 a.m. if the majority of your selections will not be available until 8; that’s just bad customer service. I have tried these guys at least four times at various early times and days… and always the same response…“not ready yet”. Judy’s, here I come!

i got the donuts around 11am and OMG they were so good best donuts Ive had (and ive had alot of donuts in my life) they were very soft and the perfect amount of sweetness
staff is super friendly
if you want some of their special donuts (ones with different toppings) make sure to get there bright and early because they sale out fast
i was also told buy an employee working there that if you want the special donuts (dozen or more) call them 1 or 2 days before and they will make them specifically for you! no need to worry if they will have the ones you need or want

It’s like any other donut shop. Judy’s is better. She’s got it down pat.
It was promoted for a long time as it was being built and even had a unique looking sign up or a while. The unique sign gave me expectations that this would be Fresno’s answer to The Donut Bar (San Diego), Sidecar Donuts (Costa Mesa), California Donuts (Los Angeles), etc. It was a big letdown because ultimately it ended up being like any other generic donut place.
The décor is MEH and I could tell there wasn’t much effort or thought put into it. The donuts are the same as most places in Fresno. They claim to have «unique/​creative» donuts, but they really just charge you more for throwing some cereal on top or bacon. Nothing uniquely flavored or creative.
All in all just a MEH place. I’m staying loyal to my girl Judy.

Liv’s Donuts is the superior donut shop in Fresno/​Clovis. They use the best ingredients (as good of ingredients you can use to make donuts) to make an amazing assortment of donuts that are enjoyed by all.
The staff/​owners are very kind. They make you feel welcome. I have a few kids and when I take them into the shop, they are always very sweet to the kids (and even give them extra donut holes).
When all is said and done, it is just a donut shop– a place we come to monthly– but it is the place I will keep coming back to.

Always out of donuts or the selection is limited. Hard to be a good business if you aren’t open during the posted hours of operation. Go very early if you don’t want to waste your time here.

The store is nice, new and clean. I’ve tried a couple of their donuts. Good quality, they have a nice variety, from regular glazed to fancy looking pastries. The customer service is great, they’ll greet you when you walk in and help you pretty quick.

Friendly staff and great customer service! They run out of maple bacon donuts early so make your way there before 9 if you want those. If you want a certain donut, just ask. They said that they don’t put out all the donuts because they don’t want them to go bad. They have the base of the donuts in the back, and all they have I do is add the decorations on top.

Best Donuts I’ve ever ate ! My Husband wanted some donuts after work so we went to Liv’s Donuts which is close to our house and let me say I usually don’t eat donuts because the majority of donut places make them really sweet… This was a nice & very clean shop. I took a bite of the donut and it was so soft it was so good very delicious and it was just right it was not too sweet but not plain it was just perfect now I know where to go get donuts and this is going to be my go to shop to buy donuts!!!
*first time customer * bottom line great experience great donuts great stuff!

Liv’s donuts do make tasty and delicious donuts at an inexpensive price, just like everywhere else in Fresno– so for those of you non-​picky and non gastronomic adventurers, this will do just well for you, but that’s the plight of every donut place in Fresno for some of us looking for unique tasting donuts and that includes Liv’s, its not unique in taste and does not differentiate itself from all the other asian made donuts in Fresno (all donuts in Fresno and Clovis are sold and made by asians for some reason).
The generic taste of donuts in Fresno and Clovis is basically the light and fluffy texture with that oil taste, with that same taste somewhat like youtiao (the Chinese donuts). The only difference with between these donuts and those Chinese donuts is that, lots of sugar are injected into these asian inspired Fresno and Clovis donuts to make it almost illegal for diabetics.
All donuts in Fresno and Clovis always leaves my mouth feeling dry, and oily, I just wished there is one donut in Fresno that would make donuts like the one in LA called Bob’s donuts. Too many businesses fry their donuts in hydrogenated shortenings (think Crisco, but lower-​quality commercial brands), which are the source of trans-​fats. Cheaper frying fat leaves an unmistakeable coating that clings to your palate and especially the roof of your mouth.
The reason I gave this place a wooho 4 stars is because it’s a great place to buy donuts for breakfast and I shouldn’t be picking on Liv’s for being generic and not making the best donuts in town, but the point I’m making with my previous statement is to say that, do not expect unique or amazing tasting donuts if your coming here. The only thing unique about this place is its decorated specialty donuts that ranges from $ 1.25-$ 2.50. Their classic donuts are at an inexpensive $.95 cents.
The service here is really friendly, and the establishment is clean, with few tables and chairs to have a quick dine in if you wanted to. But overall nothing out of this world with its décor. I just wished that the donuts in Fresno and Clovis would have a unique taste that makes it for once seem like not only one family recipe is used for donuts in all of Fresno.

Went there early in the morning around 8ish and only saw minimum selections. I was a little disappointed since people have been talking about this place. The staffed attended to my service and was pretty nice. Honestly I have seen donuts like this before. Not crazy over the fact that it’s waaaay PRICIER than other donuts I have had before. They have donuts that I have seen before at CLOVIS DONUTS. Donuts that are made fresh and ready and also have a good selection. Prices are much lower as well. Overall I’ll probably go when I’m in the area.

I have to say these are a-​m-​a-​z-​i-​n-​g donuts! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! A must try in Fresno!

Oh my god! These donuts were Amazing!
Lots of styles and flavored to choose from. Classic flavors. Modern mix-​ups.
I love all that I tried
I suggest the bacon topped maple bar… awesome people!

These donuts aren’t extraordinary or anything but they are standard and decorated so cutely. Perfect for that Instagram if you know what I mean. Lol. The only downside is that they run out of the uniquely decorated donuts so quickly! And they don’t make them in abundance so you have to go early but from what I heard not too early or else they won’t have made them at all. So after 8 but before 2 PM.
