Manley Donuts

Yes this is the best donut shop in town. The donuts are always fresh and I never taste old/​stale/​rancid/​reused grease in the donut like other shops. The glaze/​icing flavors are accurate; chocolate tastes like chocolate and not just brown colored glaze. This is a family owned shop and the Mrs. can be shy but she definitely warms up to you after a couple of visits. The Mr. is the baker and he’s very sweet. Bring cash or hit the ATM in Walgreens in the same parking lot. Only accepting cash can be an inconvenience to the consumer but do we really have to accuse the business of being dishonest because they only take cash? Come on, it’s a donut for goodness sake not a major time or monetary investment. If you want super friendly then call your bestie. If you want a bomb ass donut get your cash and go to Manley’s.

This is not the best donut shop in town, but it is a very good one. It has to be one of the best in the S. Sacramento/​Greenhaven/​Pocket area. Reasonably priced, and fresh if you go early in the morning when they open.

Best donuts ever! Went here before school every day while in high school! 5 years after graduation I still go here & take my little boy every Saturday! Love the owners!

I can’t stand the unfriendly service that one mid-​age lady give to customers. All I asked her to do was put together one dz regular, ½ dz cake, and one dz hole in ONE box. Then, make another box exactly the same way. Pretty good business, right? I guess not. She gave me the look as if I wasted her time. Told me I have to pay extra for having donut holes in a box. Then, the male owner came and told her to ask me if I want the holes in bag. She didn’t even bother to ask what kind of donuts I would like. I ended up with one correct box, and one box with ½ dz short. That is crazy and ruined my morning. Not the first time but it’s my last time.

Stopped by this morning to purchase a box of donuts for my co workers. Couldn’t believe they don’t accept debit cards. It’s 2015 & they accept «cash only» so I purchased a single original glaze for my son… 98¢ for one donut! After all of this the donut was stale! He took 2 bites and threw it away.
Never again.

Cash only?!
Come on! That’s not how the world works any more. Customer friendly, my ***. Just makes it easy to cheat their books, I say. You would have more sales if you had debit card system. Cash only is a sign of embezzling. Crooked business? Get with the system!

Wow. Seriously the best apple fritter or buttermilk donut I’ve ever had. Came in not knowing what to expect and I will definitely be going back.

The donuts here (we got a dozen, all different kinds, and mid-​morning, so they wouldn’t be stale) were neither bad nor good. We didn’t regret going but don’t plan on going back again. I don’t mean the three stars as an insult but exactly what Unilocal says it means: «okay»

Although it seemed like a nice place, I went in buy maple bars for my wife and at first asked how much is four maple bars. The service was so fast hat instead of getting an answer the helper moved off to get four. I just wanted to know how much they were. I tried to tell the «helper» I did not want for, that I wanted to get a dozen, but the donut-​getter came back with four in a bag and I gave up. It reminded me of trying to deal with Sprint or ATT on the phone and you get persons that speak bad English, so there is a communication problem. I left with four donuts, when I would have simply bought a dozen. I never found out, like most donut shops, how much a dozen maple bars are and probably never will. I guess I will go across the street to the Grocery Outlet and get donuts and know what I am getting for how much. Overall, the place is nice, but the service was lacking in communication.

Thank you so so much! The owner truly cares about the quality of his donuts ! I will only buy donuts from you now. The staff is friendly and honest. He’s a great guy!

I’m a big fan of donuts but I have not bought donuts in over 2 years for obvious reasons. I woke up 5am on Sunday morning and decided to go get some freshly made donuts. The old asian owner was very friendly. He explained to me why he don’t accept credit cards because the banks are greedy. The donuts were soft and fresh. Great service and great donuts. what more do you want. Don’t look at the calories per donut cuz you don’t wanna know!

live this place! Im moving to other city and Im going to miss them. Delicious big donuts and great people.

Picked up a dozen donuts and dozen donut holes right when they opened yesterday (5:30 AM). I didn’t catch the name of the owner but he was super nice and lively, especially at such an ungodly hour. I ate about half of the donut holes during my commute to work before I realized I should probably save some for my co-​workers… best drive ever though = fresh, warm donut holes, hot cuppa coffee and some 97.5 FM.
The donuts here are seriously the best I’ve ever had– so big, fluffy and pretty. Whenever I bring them in to work, the maple donuts, chocolate donuts and crumb donuts seem to go the fastest. They didn’t have apple turnovers yesterday but those are my absolute FAVORITE. I love and hate how Manley’s is right down the street from my house because it’s dangerous :(

The twists here are soft and cinnamon-​y… Mmmmmmm! Wish they took debit or credit. The prices are moderate ($ 10 – 12
for dozen), but the product is fresh. I also wish they were open a little later into the evening. The owners– a husband and wife pair– seem to work hard for their money!

This is one of my two favorite doughnut shops in Sacramento. I frequent this one more since it is so close to my house. My boys love the cinnamon rolls, butterfly cinnamon rolls and doughnut holes. Staff is friendly and helpful. Doughnuts are always fresh and never soggy or stale. Perfect place if you have a craving for a great doughnut!

Good donuts at decent prices. Even open late on a Saturday morning, which I appreciated.

Oh my goodness love this place! My father was a baker so my standards for doughnuts are very high. Being raised on sacks of flour and eating fresh doughnuts hot out of the oil makes me extremely picky. I have yet to have a bad doughnut here. My favorites are the raised glazed, perfectly fluffy and not overly sweet. The cake doughnuts have a nice slightly crisp outside followed by a nice cakey inside. Honestly I feel like I’m looking at a jewel case whenever I go in. Perffect place to pick up a dozen for a meeting or just pop in for a coffee and a couple of doughnuts to go. They only take cash so be sure to stop by the ATM first. You won’t be disappointed.

One of my favorite donut places around. Not too fancy just a good ol’ down to earth DONUT! The french curlers, maple bar and the cinnamon sticks are my all time favorite! My family has gone here since we moved here in the 80’s. This family that own & work here are super nice and friendly. They even start to know what kind of donuts you want! :) My step dad frequents this place and seems to get special treats (donut holes) all the time. No matter what they treat you wonderful. The price is cheap and Iove having them in the neighborhood!

Only reason they don’t get 5 stars is bc they didn’t have any pink frosted donuts!!!
Their donuts are really nice and really fresh. Tip: go for the blueberry donut. It is very crispy and tastes really really good. I was moaning while eating this donut! Price is not bad, four donuts for $ 3.25. I sure miss the days when you could get a dozen donuts for $ 3.99

Okay, so I’m sorry. I ate the donuts before taking a picture. I know, I know. shame on me. I’m not going to go into detail but just know the following:
1.) Clean glass display case consisting of a beautiful assortment of donuts
2.) They have cool looking pastries
3.) Super fresh. And I do mean FRESH. You can tell a good donut after one bite!
4.) Great price. For 4 donuts, it came out to $ 3.51. For the quality of the donuts, that’s
an awesome price!
5.) Friendly owners/​staff. Clean restuarant. Convenient lot parking.
I’ll definitely come back here again (especially in the early morning because I know that’s when the donuts are «straight out the oven fresh».)
