Linda's Donut Shop

The reader of this must first understand my history with donuts. I lived in Chicago my entire life prior to moving to SD five years ago. Chicago is the Mecca of donuts, along with my family making donuts and operating a small donut shop. When I say these are the best donuts I’ve had in SD, I think I can justify this opinion. On to the donuts, I went late afternoon so obviously my expectations were low as donuts early in the AM are the best. I bought a half dozen, and went home. My first was a chocolate sprinkle, that tasted like I was eating cotton candy being so soft, and effortlessly pulling apart. I then had a few others, each one offering a distinct taste but amazingly soft. The last thing I want to mention is how kind they are there, and patient. It feels unique and refreshing when you can go to these small mom and pop’s shops, and they absolutely deliver in every way. I’m so far from Chicago, but this is the closest thing I’ve had in SD that allows me to feel at home.

First time customer and it was such a nice experience. Employee was nice and friendly. Donuts were delicious and displayed so cute too. I used the “Too Good To Go” app to grab a bag of their leftovers and it was so good! I love that this company doesn’t waste any leftover food too. I’ll be back for sure!!!

I am not one to usually leave reviews but I do think Linda’s Donut Shop is under rated. Not only were the donuts fresh and delicious, but the lady at the register was very kind. Also only a .50 cent charge for using a credit/debit card instead of the other shops in the area that require a $10 minimum. Decent selection if you are looking for a standard simple donut shop. Also get there early if you want more of a selection as once things are sold out she doesn’t make more.
