"I travel to the Phoenix area for business trips from the East Coast occasionally. During my last visit in the fall, I heard a lot of great things about this place. Unfortunately, my experience was not as enjoyable as I had hoped. The staff was friendly and the interior was clean, but the donuts, which should have been the highlight, were disappointing. I ordered a plain glaze and a chocolate donut, but I couldn't finish either one of them. The glazes were overpowering and the donuts were too oily on the inside, making it difficult to taste the dough, which also fell apart easily. It seemed like all I was eating was oily sugar. Despite their visually appealing appearance, the donuts lacked a solid foundation. It was a confusing concept - are they a donut shop or an ice cream shop? If they want to compete with Dunkin' in the mornings, they should consider streamlining their menu. Overall, it was just an average experience, nothing particularly special. No amount of social media photos can save this place from its lackluster offerings."

Absolutely the best custom made yummiest donuts EVER!! One of the best donuts I have had. Specially when they are all warm and gooey. They do an amazing job, their staff is polite and always wearing a smile. Store is kept clean. I will definitely be going back.

I stopped on my way back to Colorado and grabbed a dozen donuts for a friend. This place is truly special! The donuts are made fresh to order, so it may take some time, but the wait is worth it. My friend received his donuts the next day and was thrilled! What a great find! View menu

Indulge in a visit to this one-of-a-kind donut shop! Desert Donuts offers made-to-order treats that are warm and delicious. The coffee is also fantastic. I was only in the area briefly, but I will definitely be craving these donuts regularly. My top choice was the Cereal Killer.

I wanted to try it. They were good. Got the Beast', it was just ok. I didn't think it had enough toppings to be called The Beast. Also got a key lime donut, that was REALLY good. It was crispy and tangy. It's expensive for a single donut , they start at over $3 each. The Beast was $5+

OMG! I have never in my life been in a spot like this! This is a very unique and brilliant concept. Absolutely Amazing! Fresh and made to order donuts with an assembly line of ingredients to choose from! And Ice Cream and Coffee… This is not your run of the mill donut shop! A MUST TRY! View menu

I can’t say enough good words about this place. I don’t come often to this area but when I do I always try to stop by. Delicious freshly made donuts, fantastic customer service, very kind and welcoming owner. Donuts look and taste amazing, I highly recommend giving them a chance! I bring them to my clients and everyone is impressed and loves them. They make and decorate donuts in front of you so you know they are freshly made!

Decided for donuts and coffee and this place was just a bit around the corner from us.Made fresh with many customs choices. About as close to home made as can be without the mess or overhead.Got classic plain and a delightful raspberry. Was a bit disappointed that while crispy and fresh but too dough in the center. Actually our two donuts were just already made, they should could have asked us and than made the donut especially since they say fresh and wasn't like their was a crowd. May give them another chance...Wow also a place I can come for a scoop of icecream,

"i’ve been coming to lacuna for over two years now and this little gem is definitely one of my favorite places to be. i’m not much of a review-writer, but when i feel passionately about places (good or bad , i get inspired.as someone who leads an alcohol-free lifestyle, it is SO nice having this option to unwind and create some art, relax, or hang out with friends. i’ve truly made so many wonderful connections through lacuna that i will cherish for a lifetime!it’s also a great place to get work done. i work remote, so i spend a good majority of my week here at my second office ; the BOGO happy hour deal comes in clutch.i think it’s really great that there is a mix of events now too, not just strictly DJ’s performing 6-7 nights a week. (although i do absolutely love the nights when there’s a DJ as well ! the variety of events is great; chess tournaments, community coloring, workshops, recovery groups, massages, yoga etc. there’s been a lot of engaging activities that i enjoy attending or participating in.i feel like lacuna has become a lot stronger in both the workspace and community-front in the last year or so too. the kavatenders all have such a warm and positive energy and always make me feel special when i come in. it’s nice seeing management interacting with customers and staff more too. it’s nice overhearing the positive feedback from management to staff (or staff to staff , and hearing the conversations that the staff members have with guests. there just seems to be a lot more connection overall. lacuna is growing and glowing for sure. <3the price increase is a bit of a bummer, but in a time with inflation… what can you really do? i personally TRUST lacuna with their product and that’s what keeps me coming back. i know they put both quality and care into their products and it really reflects. it can be a pretty penny if you’re getting multiple drinks, but fancy craft cocktails at a regular bar can be the same way. plus, my points add up so quickly i get pretty frequent discounts with their reward system. it’s not the end of the world!i appreciate the subtle changes in the bar layout and decor too. even the little things keep it feeling fresh and a little new each time you come in.the *only* “negative” thing i have to say about the space is that it can be difficult to order a drink or close out a tab sometimes. there’s rushes and it gets busy, but sometimes it feels as if one staff member just isn’t enough during these times. sometimes there’s not a lot of communication about this either between staff and people trying to close out, but i’ve been coming here for awhile now so i know what to expect. if you’re in a time crunch, just give yourself a little buffer or cushion of time to get closed out (or order to go right off the bat and close out immediately .all things considered, though, 5 stars all the way around! lacuna is an ever-evolving, ever-growing spot and i’m excited to see what the future looks like for you guys! : bulaaaa!!!!"
