Heavenly Donuts

OK So I am a true hot doughnuts Krispy Kreme girl! I even have a Christmas ornament made like that hot doughnuts sign that lights up and everything! LOL! That being said, Heavenly Donuts has some AWESOME donuts that they also serve up warm! We tried the glazed doughnuts, glazed twists, the glazed old fashioned, and the maple bacon twist! Don’t turn your nose up at the maple bacon donuts until you try it. It’s uniquely tasty! All of the donuts were FANTASTIC! They even made some upon request when we waited during non-​peak times! They were SO good I made a stop before heading to the airport eaaarrlly in the morning on my way back to Atlanta! If you’re in the Redding, CA area, this is a MUST try! I believe they also have locations in WA. Enjoy! From a visit 5÷10÷16

What’s with the bad reviews!!! I’m not really a donut eater but was convinced by my family to pick up a dozen on my way home Saturday (late) morning. I chose to go inside instead of using the convenient drive-​thru and was impressed by the cleanliness of the place and huge selection of donuts they had.
After almost completing my purchase, out comes a hot tray of their maple-​bacon bars. I ended up adding one to my order to confirm how horrible I thought they would be… I took a bite when I got in the car and DAMN it was delicious! It was warm, gooey and absolutely divine. The generous amount of chopped, REAL bacon was impressive. The staff was friendly and the donuts were big and fresh. I paid a mere $ 11.50 for a dozen donuts and the maple/​bacon bar.
We still have some left Sunday morning, so I did the «Krispy Kreme 7-​seconds in the microwave» trick and my glazed, round donut was equally as good as yesterday morning. They DO taste freshly baked, are extra large and fluffy and are not at all comparable to your average gas station/​supermarket donut. Well done Heavenly Donuts-​you have a new fan!

Two years ago while on our way home from visiting our daughters, my husband and I stumbled upon Heavenly Donuts. I was delighted to try the Gator, a triangle shaped raised donut with chocolate glaze and a whipped cream type filling. It was awesome. We are now on our way back up north to visit daughters again and made a point to stay at the Thunderbird Lodge just to go back and have my beloved Gator. Was I disappointed! The donut was dry even though it’s a Sunday morning, and the filling was skimpy. Maybe they were running out? It should be bursting with creamy goodness, not just wiped on like you’re making a peanut butter sandwich. Was planning to stop by again on the way home but now we won’t bother. The chocolate fudge donut was dry as well. Donuts should be a guilty pleasure and practically melt in your mouth, not get stuck in your throat. I hope the owner will take this feedback as a plea for improvement and use higher quality ingredients in the future.

I came here with my family on a Saturday afternoon and was slightly disappointed with the options left. The donuts were actually pretty tasty, but not a great variety to choose from. The lady working there also refused to fill any of the maple or chocolate bars for me. Probably won’t rush back here.

This place sucks it claims to be open 24 hours yet never has donuts well it does have the shitty ones nobody likes I know every time I go in there whether it’s morning afternoon or evening they never have any of the donuts that I would want and most of the time they don’t have any of the donuts my family likes as well I’ve been in there multiple times having the same problem sorry we don’t have them we ran out well if you are a 24 hour donut shop don’t you think you should be cooking and making more donuts because you’re open 24 hours do you not think you’re going to run out if you only make him twice a day I will give them this the donuts are good but they definitely need to step up their game on making them I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in there and just walked out And I’ve seen many people do the same as I’m standing there because they don’t have the donuts they want either

Hands down the fluffiest non greasy donut I have ever eaten! I seriously dont know why so many others have given poor reviews.
Great customer service and a large selection of donuts. They also serve bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and have a variety of drink options.
Glad I came in to try these sweet pillowy delights :)
++they also take credit cards as a payment option

The donuts are just a slight cut above the supermarket variety. I think they use the same icing (doesn’t taste homemade). Which would be OK. They have a big city type gimic: staying open all night plus drive through (a little unnecessary). The coffee is also not great.
But the reason they get 2 stars is I ordered a chilla, and it was awful so I asked for a small coffee instead. Not only did they not refund the difference but the cashier said loudly and within my earshot «what a waste!» That’s how I feel about the $ 3.69 I spent on my drink.
Would rather go to Holiday market for their cereal coated donuts. At least that’s a little innovative, an they treat you right.

Oh man how hard is it to take a simple order of a half dozen doughnuts … after 5 minutes my patience wore off and I drove away.

I went in for a maple doughnut, and despite being promptly butt-f**ked it was quite tasty.

Sign says 24 hours yea right today at 4am went to the door locked so I drove around to the drive through and sat there for 15 minutes watched an employee walk by 4 times and still no service. Seriously if you are going to say you are open 24 hours then have an employee that will serve customers. Just so ya know i was getting 4 heavenly dozen for employees who kick butt at work but I will not be back. I wish i could give negative 20 stars. Please get better employees or shut down. Very discraceful to think you are the only donut place for miles.

Drive thru idea is nice but the donuts are not very good. There is something funny about the taste and I can’t figure it out. I suspect stale or spoiled ingredients. I would pay more for better donuts!

I had a classic glazed donut, which was quite delicious but it cost over $ 1! Being the only donut shop within miles doesn’t mean you have to gauge your customers!

When a parent wants to go somewhere, there isn’t much of a choice in the matter. Nonetheless, once there, Heavenly Donuts didn’t seem all that bad because they have a wide variety of donuts and baked goods to pick from and, additionally, the young woman at the counter provided good service. Plus, a dozen donuts for $ 8-​something isn’t a bad deal.
If the donuts just managed to taste like the average donut (and, up until now, I thought, ‘a donut is a donut’), I’d have given a much higher rating. Curiously, Heavenly’s donuts have a bitter aftertaste that’s hard to ignore. Secondly, like a previous reviewer said, the donuts were missing that light and fluffy texture that typify donuts. So my suggestion to them is to adjust their recipe because donuts have to at least taste like your run-​of-​the-​mill donut in order for me to allow myself to be dragged to a donut shop to begin with.

This is old world style donuts, as a franchise chain, nothing creative or particularly interesting. I’d guess even the local cops and the CHP know better places for donuts than Heavenly. You will find all the usual artery clogging suspects here, your glazed, and old fashioneds, your raised, your bars, your cakes, your twists, your Danish and turnovers. I’ll bet they serve Maxwell house coffee as well. One thing to note: They are open 24 hours! For a throwback, give ‘em a go!

I was hungry, I was staying next door, I didn’t really check reviews as I was just looking for dessert. I got what I deserved (pun). It’s better than Dunkin, but so is leftover horse feed. It’s not even as good as Krispy Kreme. I got a chocolate/​coconut one, lemon filled, and a pineapple fritter. At least the pineapple one showed some imagination. The lemon donut tasted like melted Jolly Rangers, and the chocolate one, I don’t even recall it having chocolate flavor at all. It’s not even that cheap. I’m not faulting this location for being in the middle of remodeling or only having one employee to man both drive-​through and walk-​up windows at 10 PM. This rating is just for the donuts themselves. Walk on by.

I was coming home from Fresno via Amtrak. I was in a position where I had to take the Burney Express home which didn’t run till later. The Website said this place was open 24 hours so I thought I had a place to eat and kill time safely in a sketchy part of town. Turns out only the drive thru is open. The two employees not only refused to make an exception (I was walking around redding at 4 am with luggage) but one of the just continued to sit on his butt and eat donuts. This place is a joke. I told the that he would rather have me have to walk around downtown at this time of night alone than make an exception and he said yes, turned around and walked away. Website and sign said 24 hrs, didn’t see any qualifications that this only meant drive thru. I walked almost a mile because of the false advertisement on the web and then had two jerks eating the company profit on top of it.

Awesome blueberry doughnuts!

Visiting Redding for a week and had to have our donut fix! This place has bad reviews, but they don’t deserve it. Our experience was great! We got a dozen donuts of a good variety. They were all delicious! We tried the buttermilk glazed, raspberry jelly, Boston cream, donut holes, blueberry cake, coconut cake, cinnamon crumb. Service was quick and friendly, parking easy. Highly recommend!

An absolutely horrid place. The drive thru is the slowest you will find, anywhere. You can literally wait up to five minutes for someone to take your order. They also have stale donuts at 7 in the morning on a weekday. Don’t pay with a credit card because they’ll walk away with your card for several minutes.

In our ever-​fattening culture, we all know that the little fried gems known as donuts are also dastardly, artery-​clogging villains in disguise. So I also know that if I want to splurge on said donuts, I have to be sure that they are worth it.
Although it’s not the best donuts I’ve had, Heavenly Donuts is definitely my choice for the Redding area. There are many different varieties and toppings, both cake and yeast kinds. The yeasts are soft and fluffy, and the frosted topped ones have good flavor. I also like their cinnamon swirl donut and the old fashioned ones. The buttermilk bars are kind of small.
Another thing that keeps me coming back to Heavenly is their dozen deal. A «dozen» here is actually 14 donuts total. Go online to their website and they usually have coupon deals (including a cheaper dozen price) and you can also sign up for a free Birthday Donut! Yay!
