Abs are cool, but have you ever tried donuts? I’ve been going here for years and it never disappoints. The themed donuts always make it a new/fun experience and the staff is always super nice

The staff was so nice ! They have a few vegan/gf options that are decent but their non-vegan yeast and cake donut spread is impressive. Prices are super reasonable! The cinnamon sugar donuts tasted fresh and so soft!

My family used to order donuts from here quite a bit before my nut allergy went from mild to severe (they still do order these donuts from time to time, but I unfortunately cant anymore), but theyre pretty good if you have a sweet tooth. I wouldnt recommend to those who dont like very sugary donuts. I also loved the different flavors available (if I got there before donuts sold out).

Very friendly service, a wide variety of choices, and SUPER YUMMY donuts! More than one person has recommended this place to us so we were very happy to finally try it! We are probably lucky that it is not closer to us or we would be eating donuts every day! I highly recommend that everybody try the Donut Conspiracy!

The donuts here are delicious and the apple fritters are ginormous and just as good!! If you have ever wanted to customize a donut with delicious topping Im sure they already have it here. The staff are inviting and the smell that hits you when you walk in the store makes you want to stay all day.

Tucked into Knapp Corner this little donut shop has a cozy feel with helpful, friendly staff. Im a bit of a grandpa so I got myself a Old Fashion, and a Samoa. My only complaint was not having decaf coffee I settled apple juice. Cute conspiracy themed decore. Well be back for our next donut craving.

Nothing special, was really hoping they would be amazing but they just arent. I dont get all the hype. The cake donuts tasted like the typical baked frozen ones from the grocery store. They look good though.

This place was on my bucket list to visit and it did not disappoint! The donuts were creative and so deliciously fresh! They fill you up quick despite being so light and flaky. Ill certainly be visiting regularly from now on!

I would highly recommend Donut Conspiracy if you would like doughnuts at your wedding or event. Their donuts are delicious and the customer service is excellent! We had them delivered to our venue before the reception and they were a huge hit with our guests!

Limited selection due to covid but their choices and selection were great. Staff was incredible, not enough people working which lead to a long line. If you havent gone its a must to check out.

Great donuts, and crazy selection. Generally half of the donuts are cake and half are yeast, all with absurd but delicious toppings.

Review №26

This is a great little donut shop with many interesting flavors. My visit today they had just sold out of maple bacon. The two young men working the counter quickly grabbed a similar donut, heated up bacon and made me what I was asking for on the spot. What great service! Ill be happy to frequent this small business.

So I just happened upon the donut shop after arriving in the area for an appointment much earlier than anticipated. I had heard of it before, but never really went looking for it as there happens to be a boutique donut shop close to my house.The young lady there was very friendly and helpful. The donuts are good. I say good because the only way a donut sucks is if the donut is not fresh at all. I had the Maple bacon donut and it was nice. The Maple frosting was a bit sweet for my taste, and its odd to me that the bacon was only on the middle where the hole is located and not around the donut to balance the sweet and salty.When I got home I had the long John. It was good. Im happy that there was REAL custard, and not yellow whip cream disguised as custard. That would have earned them a straight up 1 if that were the case.All in all it was nice. I am not freaking out over it, but I was certainly not disappointed. Lots of great looking donuts. Cant wait to try them if my kids dont beat me to it.

A very good donut shop that is veteran owned. This place has a lot of variety and flavor combinations. So much to choose from and friendly staff. If I had to say one thing is sometimes the donuts can get a bit too sweet for my liking, other than that very good donuts. This place provides a military discount. Come check them out GR!

If youre looking for a fun and creative donut experience, you have to check out The Donut Conspiracy. We came in for the green donuts featured for St. Patricks Day, but there were so many mouthwatering options to choose from that it made it hard to decide. Prices were fair for the creative options and the coffee was great, although limited for options (2). Plenty of seating available in this clean, family friendly, fun and delicious donut shop.

Picked up a dozen for my son for work 🍩 They have a lot of classic flavors and they also have a lot of crazy fun ones like maple bacon. Clerk was very helpful with suggestions. They also carry Kind Crumbs gluten-free goodies

The cinnamon sugar vegan donuts are awesome! They were sold out of other vegan flavors due to Valentines Day. Its nice to get a regular vegan donut instead of all the crazy flavors or toppings you tend to get with vegan varieties. Will come back next time Im in town.

Great place, friendly staff and absolutely delicious doughnuts!!

Review №47

Tons of effort made on the toppings here. Not so much on the actual donut. It takes like they are using factory made frozen donuts and doing a fancy decoration job. Id rather go somewhere like Cindys where the toppings are more basic but the donuts are made fresh in house.

Va
Review №48

The atmosphere is fun and funky! There is a glass half wall so that people coming into the shop can see donuts being made or decorated. That is always neat, I think! There are a lot of different donut flavors to choose from. (Ive been told over 30!) If you come later in the evening, there is less variety, but all the donuts I have had taste great and look good too! There are some with bacon, some with Cinnamon Toast Crunch, coconut, peanut butter cups, all kinds of weird and delicious toppings! It is definitely worth a try, even just to see the place for yourself! P.S. Rehab is my favorite (yeast donut, chocolate icing, PB cups), its a peanut butter lovers delight!

This place is the best... the staff are super friendly and helpful. You walk in the door and there are so many choices that making a decision can be hard. I was buying them for a client, so Sue offered to pick them out for my, what a help. I had to leave them for my client she was in a meeting the minute she walked into her office she called me to thank me and let me know that The Donut Conspiracy was her favorite.

Delicious and unique donuts. Nicely decorated with a cozy seating area for when you want to eat your donut and sip a chocolate milk before going back out to face the world fully charged. My go-to place for a weekend donut! Warning, if you waot too late in the day the may be out of your favorite.

I cant say enough good things about this place. Their donuts are by far the best I have ever had. Their staff is also great. They were patient and helpful while my 5 year old decided what he wanted!

Review №54

The donuts are too sugary and over priced. They have a nice selection and the staff is good but they are selling a kitschy experience and not a quality product.

As
Review №55

We got a couple different donuts to try out and they were all pretty good, so you cant really go wrong ordering! The price was super awesome for the quality you get. The only reason Im leaving four stars is because ordering was kind of confusing as the people behind the counter were kind of awkward and didnt seem to know what was going on.

Great selection of creative and yummy donuts. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Sounds like they have many themed days such as star wars and Harry Potter which we will have to check out.

We hired them for our desert donut bar at our wedding and WOW did they do an awesome job!!I wish i had the chance to try them all but i got my hands on the Simoa donut which was so good. Each guest had at least two donuts in their hands and would come up to me asking where they were from!I will be making a visit to their shop next time I’m in town to thank them in person for doing such an awesome job with our deserts!

The Blue Man Group is so good! And the apple fritters are the stuff of legend. Everything is priced reasonably for a specialty donut shop and customer service has always been top notch.

Review №59

Taking donuts to the next level! I was skeptical of this place because of the hype. Many places that make elaborately decorated treats like this focus too much on the decorations and the actual treat is sub-par. Not so at the Donut Conspiracy! These donuts are really good, and the over-the-top decorations just add to the fun!

A
Review №60

Looking for something unique and refreshing look no further. Their donuts maybe a little pricey, but they are truly a first of their kind. Donuts run $2.00 each, or dozen for $15.00. But remember they are doing it as a craft for a living, not just because they want to out beat the big stores next door.

Review №61

My first purchase of donuts was excellent. But on my return visit I felt the donuts were not that fresh. Maybe it was an off morning.

Sa
Review №62

Staff was friendly and helpful . Amazing set up . But the donuts really disappointed😕 it kinda tastes like a cheap donut with a bunch of toppings thrown on top of it. Just wished the actual donut tasted good . Just was expecting a nice soft thin donut but they were really thick and did not tastes the best . Other than that the topping were very good.

I’ve only visited about 3 times. The donuts were just ok, as well as customer service. But I visited today and a woman who seemed to be the owner was so welcoming and the donut was great! Prices are a little steep.

Review №69

Quite possibly the best donuts in the Grand Rapids area, maybe even West Michigan. Extra shout out to the yeast donuts. Oh, and the apple fritter - best $3 Ive ever spent. Sure they can be a bit more expensive than other bakeries (a dozen for $20), but you get what you pay for here, and you wont regret it.

I used to really love this place, but the past 3 times Ive gone in 2 months has been really bad. First the donuts have gotten so much smaller while staying the same price and the toppings are getting lower quality. They used to be worth 2 bucks a donut but not anymore. I really hope I have a better experience next time

The donuts are dressed as well as they are named. For those who give it 1 or 2 stars are just looking for a 99 cent donut. Let me tell you the extra 34 cents (when purchased by the dozen) is well worth it. They taste as good as they look!!!

Review №79

Meh. They look fancy but taste no better then any other donut Ive ever had. They have cute decorations and fun names, if thats your thing, but also cost $2-$4 each or $15 a dozen (excluding specialty or long johns).The store is minimally decorated and the menu is a meager chalk board hanging to the side of the store. It has no specific prices or ingredients listed, only says dozen $15, half dozen $10 etc. The lady behind the counter was rude and frustrated by my few questions. Sorry! Maybe be more descriptive on the menu!

Review №82

The donuts here are incredible. Theyre always fresh. The yeast donuts are my favorite. Theyre light and fluffy and so, so good, but theyre also filling enough to be breakfast. The store is always clean and it smells fantastic. The staff is super friendly and very laid back. Some of the donuts need to be eaten the day you get them and dont keep for long, but that isnt really a problem in my house. I love the glaze on the Flapjack and Maple Bacon donuts. That glaze is addictively good. I would get in a fist fight with Mike Tyson, Abraham Lincoln, AND Robot George Washinton over these donuts.

Review №84

The donuts here are fun the first couple times. But overall I feel like they are a sub par donut. They are usually very dense, harder than they are soft, and Ive never once gotten a warm donut here. Try them at least once for the gimmick.

Review №85

Grandville location: I am only leaving this after contacting them directly with no response. Customer service both times we were there was terrible. Different employees, and they did not know how to work the latte machine. Employees told us that certain things were going to be available at a special function they held, which were not true. Twice we have went and they were closed hours early because they were sold out. Lack of response from the owner shows they do not care.

Vegan options. Picked up regular and vegan options for team at work and was huge success. Vegan donuts are not as fancy and are a little pricey compared to their regular ones.

Really cute shop with great staff. I wish they offered either more vegan/allergy friendly options or more interesting vegan/allergy friendly options with toppings and designs like they do with non-vegan doughnuts. Some of the v/gf doughnuts were a little dry and some were still moist and tastey. Thankful for the v/gf doughnuts still as they arent always available many places.
