I started jumping around Tucson trying different donut shops (trying to get away from the chain places), and I have to say the donuts here are out of this world. Absolutely phenomenally good. I grabbed a Bacon Maple Bar, and the savory, sweet, airy perfect blend satisfied my tastebuds I was contemplating making another trip for a dozen of those alone. I finished up with a chocolate covered cream filled and this is where the donuts really made me smile. Most chain places will load the cream with sugar and barely put enough in to get a bite of chocolate, pastry and cream. My hats off to Po, every bite was better than the last and I couldve shed a tear when I ate the last bite and was full. Thats only the beginning. I dropped by after work at 5am to be greeted by awesomely nice people that were happy to strike up conversation and really see eye to eye with their customer. Hands down, no where else will be getting any of my businesses. I cant wait to try the rest of what they have to offer. Thanks Po, great chatting with you and amazing work!

Okay I literally just left this place no more than 5 minutes ago and I loved my experience so much that I had to hurry up and write my review. Im from the midwest and Im used to creme or whipped filled long johns and a very authentic tasting dough with a very good tasting chocolate frosting. (Not cheap, overly sweet and fake tasting) Let me tell you, I purchased 3 donuts from a donut wheel shop and literally threw a fit at home, threw them away and headed out to find something better. This place is it!! Very friendly and happy and they talk to you like they have known you forever! They didnt initially have the long johns filled but they def offered to fill them with cream since they only had custard filled. They will fill them if you ask them!! I love these people already. I recognize good and genuine people immediately and the doughnuts seriously were as soft as butter, FRESH and DELICIOUS. Freshness, I honestly didnt expect and was okay with as it was about 10:45 in the morning but I am def. happy with my decision to go here!!!

OH...MY...GOD! These are the best donuts Ive ever tasted! Theyre fresh and melt in your mouth much like crispy creams. But Ive always found crispy cream donuts to be way too sweet. This place has the perfect balance of sweetness, the frosting is spot on and the donut itself is light and airy. Im only going to buy donuts from here from now on, oh and the nice lady behind the counter gave me a bonus cinnamon roll!

By far THE BEST donuts I have ever encountered...seriously, last year I scoured Tucson for the best and Alvernon Donut took the cake. HANDS DOWN! Family owned and they are all super nice and honest and care about their customers and get to know them--hard to find this quality of service these days. Im happy to say theyve won me over for life.

So this is on my list of best Tucson breakfast spots even though its not a sit down restaurant. I love the doughnuts here, theyre so damn good. Walk in or drive through, which is nice, they are also very friendly. I have tried many different flavors and kings and Ive never been disappointed, this is my top doughnut shop in the city

Donut deny yourself a taste of these delectable pastries. Not only is there a great selection available but also they will gladly make a special order for you. You only need to ask nicely. If you like real donuts, (the kind that does not become rock hard as soon as they cool off) then Alvernon Donut Shop is a must visit.

Unbelievable. Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, Oregon is my favorite doughnut shop, but that title is in jeopardy. The staff is incredibly nice, they can at times offer samples, and the doughnuts melt in your mouth. We came from out of town and if we come back this will be an absolute must see next time.

Ive bought these donuts over a hundred times - not all for me! These guys make a great donut. The quality is consistent and theres a great variety to choose from. If you want to jump off the deep end and get your sugar high on, this is the food to do it with.

This place has some of the best freshly made donuts in Tucson, and their prices are excellent. Why waste your money and time at Starbucks when you can come here and get the best. Theyve been here for as long as I can remember, and I hope they never go away.

Loved it- they are so fresh even late in the evening. I dislike dunkin doughnuts because they are premade and dont taste as good. So, a friend told me about this place and I checked it out. Drove 30min just for this place, gonna go here from now on.

Such an awesome place. Great donuts and friendly staff. My Son LOVES donuts and for his birthday they made a giant donut for us, that worked out perfect. They went above and beyond. This is my new donut shop for life. ;)

A staple of the Tucson donut scene for years. Alvernon Donut Shop offers a wide selection of delicious donuts and "fancy donuts" - eat in, takeaway, or use the drive thru to get a dozen of the best donuts in town.

I am, by no means a Donut Lover...until now. Their donuts are fresh, delicious, and my mouth waters thinking about them! The shop is clean, the people are friendly, and once again...the donuts are amazing!

Best doughnut shop around. Maple and Bacon doughnuts... mmmm boy! Always friendly staff and clean waiting room. Never a bad visit and unlike certain chains their doughnuts are always fresh and soft.

This place is awesome! The staff is super friendly, and the donuts were incredible! I highly suggest the maple bacon bars, by far the best donuts and selection Ive found in town :)

Alvernon Donuts is always delicious! The staff is awesome and I love the mom/pop shop feel. Wish there were more places like this around... and the donuts are always tasty!

The best donuts in Tucson - great flavor, selection, and theyre always replenishing with fresh donuts. Crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside.

James Wright

Great service and donuts are on point! (delicious if confused). Would have given 5 stars if there were more choices/variety.

Best donuts in town! LeCaves is a close second. But they are fresh and are a staple for all donuts in town!

It looks like a simple little place, but they have some of the best tasting and innovative Donuts

Great prices, and the donuts were quite tasty, but not the best Ive had. Id still come back.
