Reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Alvernon Donuts! The staff is so friendly, accommodating, and understand the meaning of good customer service. It is so refreshing to see that nowadays. They have a wide selection of fresh donuts as should be expected from a donut shop, but I’ve been disappointed at another younger shop. My favorite was their kolache and ham and cheese croissant. If you visit you also must try their broaster chicken. It is by far the best fried chicken in town. So if you’re in the mood for a sweet or savory snack, or the best fried chicken, or just want to see a smiling face; then you must stop and visit Alvernon Donuts.

amazing donuts with a light and airy texture. amazing croissants and ham and swiss croissants. Give the blueberry donut a try you won’t be disappointed

Such great donuts and really fabulous savory options too. I stopped here 4 straight days when I was in Tucson for a solo trip. They've got coffee too, although the coffee isn't their calling card. Really wonderful service. Plenty of parking but it is right on the intersection so it's a bit tricky.

The best donuts I've ever had! Cake donuts are unrivalled, never had any like it. Some of their broaster chicken and a few donuts is an elite brunch combo

A few weeks ago, we tried Alvernon Donut and it was amazing. The our middle son want to start birthday waking up to this Mega Homer Donut. I am not lying when I say it's twice the size as the original Homer Donut you get and Universal Studios. Needless to say, Alvernon Donut did not disappoint!

I had forgot about this place they been in town for a while. Remembered it and went there and got a dozen donuts. These are by far the best donuts in Tucson thus far! I'm going to have to go back and try their fried chicken I guess they make that now. I saw some there that was cooked and it looked amazing but I got the donuts cuz that's what I came for.
