Reviews of Banbury Cross Donuts
Juliana Turner
One of the best places for donuts in Utah! They have a great and delicious variety, plus the place is a trip down memory lane, with a cozy vintage architecture and decor. The staff was very friendly and service was fast and efficient!
Kevin Bennett
Excellent donuts! Great selection and quite a few I've never seen before (cherry fritter?? Yum!) The apple fritters are huge! Very friendly staff, and when we were there, it wasn't busy at all. If I lived in Salt Lake City, I'd be here all the time!
Nicole Grzesiak
These are, hands down, the best donuts I’ve ever had. The texture of the raised donuts is like nothings I’ve had before. So incredibly fluffy and delicious, like biting into a cloud. Excuse the already eaten donut in my photo, it was so good I had basically inhaled it before I got a photo.
Antonio Sanches
This place has my favorite doughnuts. They are fluffy and doughy and, of course, delicious. Just go early in the morning so you have a better selection.
H.P.
Ordered two dozen for a family party as Banbury maple is the BEST! There was a miscommunication so my order got a little mixed up but Jennifer and the owner Sam went out of their way to make it right! Just one of the many reasons Banbury is #1 in Utah!! Thank you guys for making my party fantastic❣️🙏😊 Yum! …
Diane Duong
Amazing donuts and amazing staff and service. Will be back!
Staff in the morning gave a me warm melty chocolate donut, made my days! :)
Emina Boric
I absolutely love these donuts. The best in town. Fresh every single day and every bite is so delicious. 😋 …
sophie williams
my favorite donuts in salt lake city, hands down. their cinnamon is my favorite, but their cake donuts are to die for. Their blueberry donuts are a classic as well!
Natalia Goncalves
Very busy place, but the staff is fast and friendly. They have a good selection of traditional donuts, that tastes very good :)
Jesseca Hallows
Just ok. If I were rating on the donuts alone it would be 3 stars. They are pretty basic, and we have tried all of the flavors. Better than what you’d get in a grocery store, but not what I expected with all of the hype.
That being said, their customer service is always amazing. Even when they are packed with people they are so kind and never pushy. It’s what keeps us going back when we have a donut craving.
Blake Smith
Great donuts. They're always fresh when I order. I'm not telling you my favorite donut because I don't want my boss to know and tempt me by bringing them to work. I will tell you that I order either 3 or 4 donuts every time I visit and three is the more reasonable number. Three leaves me feeling light and ready to be active. Four donuts is likely to induce a nap.
M
THE place for a truly unique donut experience! We have been searching for a place that knows how to make em’ right (compared to a favorite place in another state!). They are light, fluffy, and just enough sweet with frosting. These are the BEST donuts in SLC.
Taylor Moody
Delicious, old school donuts that have a large helping of nostalgia. I am a big donut fan and these took me back to my childhood. Highly recommend the Apple fritter, the old fashioned, and the Bavarian cream filled!
Mike Ashcraft
Their fritters are delicious and enormous. Old fashioned donuts are creamy tasting and a perfect mix of crisp on the outside and cakey in the middle.
Marisa Firth
Delicious and even tasted fresh at 2pm!! Lots of donuts were already sold out by then though, so get there in the morning for more options. Drive through was very convenient!
Gretchen
I came in for 6 dozen donuts on a busy Saturday morning (I should have ordered online but didn't even think of it) and they didn't blink an eye. They got my boxes pulled together super quickly and I was on my way within about 10 minutes even after waiting in a short line when I came in. I was so impressed. And the donuts were, as always, deliciously fantastic!
Parker Jackson
Best donuts in the city. Pre-order is super easy and even though the place is always busy, they move people through. Worth the hype!
Denali Tippetts
It has pretty good donuts and are definitely worth the wait. Runs out really fast though so gotta be there early to get your donuts. But smells good and tastes good. Would deffenitly suggest
A Yancey
We arrived in the afternoon and there were still plenty of choices at Banbury Cross. We got a couple of buttermilk bars and I had to show some restraint not to buy six more! The texture was perfect and they were just sweet enough-- some of the best I've ever had. We also loved the raised doughnuts. The cinnamon crunch they are famous for was so fluffy and delicious. We loved the maple too. We also got an apple Fritter. We tried it but saved most to heat up later. My kids loved the cinnamon roll also. Banbury Cross is definitely worth visiting repeatedly. The customer service was great!
Bru Baker
Best doughnuts in town! And the sexiest customers!
Addison Stuart
I heard from a friend this is the best donut bakery in Utah. My friend gets donuts from here way too often, isn't addicted to them, and definitely isn't me.
Rob Nielsen
Some of the best donuts around, especially if you like cake donuts. The blueberry old fashioned donuts, chocolate donuts, and maple bars are highly recommended.
Michael Thompson
Excellent doughnut shop, very friendly staff, not over priced, and they are not vegan!! I'm not vegan so that works out great and they don't cost $32.00 a dozen. You guys rock, thank you for making a quality product at a reasonable price.
Ali Salman
The best donuts in the state! I have been coming here for two decades and they never disappoint. Great service and nice people as well!

I had the most pleasant experience this morning at Banbury Cross. I was picking up a dozen donuts for my team but couldn’t math properly at 6:30 am and decide which flavors I wanted. The man helping me was so patient. I ended up with my usual favorites, strawberry and Bavarian, along with some other popular choices like the maple bar, the twist, and some glazed donuts. I can’t give enough compliments about this place! They make their donuts fresh, the toppings are on point, and the prices are reasonable. I find other donuts too oily, too sweet, or too dry. Banbury’s donuts is just right.
Lhea
I could smell the donuts as soon as I stepped out of our Airbnb and knew there was a donut shop nearby. Had to come in to try it and wasn’t disappointed! If it’s busy don’t let that turn you away - it’s well worth the wait for the food, atmosphere, and really nice employees.
Sorry we made a mess on the table.
Mj Morgan
We found out why this Donut shop is so highly regarded. Everyone should try these. The donuts are THAT good.
Jessica Thornton
The line was a bit long but still received quick service. We tried several different flavor donuts and they were soft and cake inside. My favorite was the cinnamon rolls.
Amasa Smith
This place is AMAZING!!!! Some of the best donuts I’ve ever had! The consistency of the dough being just the right amount of soft / fluffy with a great chewy texture too. Can’t go wrong with any flavors but I personally loved their Maple the most. Show up real early if you want to have a selection of flavors, as this place sells out real quick! I’m told the Blueberry is another must try, but unfortunately for me they were already sold out by 9am on a Sunday.
J F
No gluten free options here unfortunately.
My family loved their donuts though! There are only a couple tables inside, so you may not be able to eat in if it's busy. They have a drive through option as well and have a few parking spots in their lot
Stephanie Carter
Best donuts in Utah!! The cinnamon ones and maple bars are a must but really I say splurge and get a bear claw!! NEVER disappoints... Well unless you don't get there early enough and they sell out! I wish they made more donuts later in the morning if they start running out. It SUCKS to drive up from Utah county and not get what you want, or sometimes anything besides glazed 😢
*** edit ***
We went at 6:30am today to get donuts for our son’s 20th birthday. We were able to get an entire dozen of the AMAZING cinnamon donuts and a 2nd dozen of assorted donuts including THREE maple bars!!!
Wilson
It's got a small parking lot, it can accommodate about 10 cars parked, they do have a drive through for quick pickup. I asked for an assortment dozen, and some donut holes. The staff was extremely friendly!
The donut holes were amazing, they treat the donut holes as if they are real sized donuts, filled with some type of filling, dipped in chocolate, or topped with sprinkles etc... they're in the upper right of photo 1.
The assortment was as equally delicious, their cake donuts are moist, yet dry enough to have the perfect combination, the actual dough that they use for their donuts is light and fluffy, not dense and heavy. You know you're eating something that has been perfected over years.
I would gladly go back to this place and get donuts again. This donut shop is the kinda place you bring your kids to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Audrey Beebe
We have always been big fans of Banbury Cross. When they opened a location closer to our house, we were so excited! Nothing has been lost: friendly staff, inviting store, and the BEST donuts ever!!
Jeremiah Leonard
Looooong wait with the car line, it was raining but seemed like if you could park and run in to wait it would be way faster. Prices can't be beat. Fresher than any chain.
Doug Shaw
As my daughter exclaimed, the donuts here are “scrumptious!” Fluffy, fresh, delicious rings of yumminess. You can’t go wrong, stop and get some!
Charlene Young
I arrived to banbury when the line was long and out the door. I was in and out within only 2 minutes. They managed the crowd with good organization and amazing service. Best fritters and maple bars in town!! Their cinnamon crumb doughnuts are a popular choice and also very tasty. But I tend to always want the fritter or maple bar.
Ya Sabes
My town in Indiana has two donut shops and one Dunkin. None of them make the Cinnamon crumb. I had to get my fix. These are my favorite when I come to town.
Erica Aborlleile
You should definitely enter this place- despite the drive thru- because it smells delicious!!! We got raspberry filled donuts and strawberry sprinkles and they were INSANELY GOOD
Crissy Boss
I absolutely love Banbury Cross. They are definitely my favorite doughnut shop. Every time I've gone there has been a great experience, but especially our last visit. As we were leaving, my son accidentally dropped our doughnuts in the parking lot, and they came out and said they'd replace them. Thanks for going above and beyond, Banbury!
Ginnina Peterson
Some of the best donuts in SLC. They are fresh, decently priced, and usually have a very decent variety.
Brian Bradley
These doughnuts helped us pass the time while our daughter was in surgery at Primary Children’s Hospital just up the hill. Literally the best doughnut buying experience ever. Delicious. They have perfected the inner doughnut fluff.
Rachael Berhan
Best doughnut I’ve ever had. Hands down. I don’t even like doughnuts that much!!
Leon Riley
I was disgusted by donuts before I I wouldn't waist my money on 1..... amazing staff always smiling and nice they want to know there customers. The shop feels down to earth and positive vibes.... they got me with that Bavarian Cream and now if it's not banbury cross made I'm not waiting my time. Thank you guys not just for the amazing snack but for the hospitality
Big Dawg
Real donuts done right. I believe this is a Chinese donut shop, which is in my opinion, the best donut shops in the country are ran by Chinese people. The dough is fresh. Everything is cooked fresh. The frostings and glazes are all delicious and sugary. I would go here more often if I lived closer. Anytime I'm downtown I try to hit this place. They cook donuts all day so you always get a fresh batch. The staff is super cool and it's really easy to get the donuts from the drive-thru. The only hard part is fitting in the small parking lot, but it's totally worth it.
Jacob Newton
Donuts were pretty good, just not what I expected after all the hype I read online. Also, and this isn't about the food, but a worker (someone bringing in sugar from outside) came up to the guy at the cash register while I was playing and began complaining about a bill being passed regarding people with Down Syndrome. Regardless of how you feel about that or whatever, probably not the most professional to be having those conversations in front of customers.
John Davis
Got in when they opened, and the guy up front was amazing and had a great attitude about helping me. Had a list of 2 dozen donuts and he helped me out and then I had to come back after leaving to get some donut holes and found a couple extra in my bag when I counted them.
Chris Berry
Great place for donuts, only place I go. Always fresh made daily, clean store, friendly staff.
Farhan Nasrullah
Well, I just had one donut so my review might change once I have more, but I can already say this is a decent cafe (with donuts as main items).
My 🍩 was good (not wow) and not warm, I probably would have given 5 stars if it was a bit warm (but hey, I'm here at 2pm).
And the staff is very friendly!
Alex Henricks
An oldie but a goodie. Banbury Cross has been a staple in Utah for over 30 years. The donuts they bake are big and delicious! If you like donuts, Banbury Cross is a must. They have a wide range of donuts to select from (including cake donuts). Some of the donuts I really like include the blueberry frosted, strawberry frosted, cinnamon covered, and apple fritters. Whatever you choose you can't really go wrong. You can either pick your donuts up and go or stay there and enjoy them. They also have a drive through for your convenience. The staff is friendly and knowledgable.
Riya Menon
The staff are wonderful and kind and the selection is great. The donuts are well made and delicious. This is a great place to go if you want one donut, or two dozen! All of the donuts are fresh and they have all the classics, plus some new ones. The drive-through is super convenient if you are in a hurry or you could eat in.
Otterly “Otterly Ridiculous” Ridiculous
The donuts were soft and delicious even late in the day, highly recommend for any donut lovers
Michael Woods
The best doughnuts I’ve ever had! Beating Krispy Kreme.. I don’t feel horrible after I eat them. They’re not hard or heavy on the tummy either. And they taste amazing and the price is great!
Jon Alleman
The blueberry cake donuts are my favorite. This is a donut shop worth the drive from anywhere in the Salt Lake valley.
Jackson Viscomi
Honestly, If there are better donuts out there, I don’t want to know about them. These are dangerously tasty. Maple bar is my personal favorite.
Pro tip: park and walk in instead of waiting in the drive-through. You’ll save a good 20 minutes of idling.
Ellyson Crawford
I grew up going to Banbury Cross Donuts and I have yet to find a better donut. They’re sweet through and through. I LOVE the strawberry donuts, maple donuts, and cinnamon donuts the most. With Banbury Cross, you cannot go wrong with whatever you pick. They’re the only donut that stays moist and soft for days just sitting in the box. I would eat just the breading of the donut because it is just so good. The icings on top are incredible, too. Keep up the great work, Banbury. I share about them when ANYONE mentions a donut. There isn’t a donut I’ve had that’s anywhere close to as good as Banbury Cross’ are. It’s a must-eat in SLC.
Kyle G
Love these donuts! Donuts are my weakness and I've tried many. These are probably among some of the best I've had. I don't really care about a store's political opinion whatever it may be, I care about the customer service and the quality of the product, which are top notch at Banbury. Don't expect the visit to be a quick in and out, however. Sometimes there is a bit of a line.
María José
Best donuts ever!
Shayla Hand
I love these donuts, but today was a weird enough experience I'm not sure if I can justify the long drive out of my way for these donuts again. I went in to the store to order 4 donuts, 1 of which should have been a strawberry donut. I got to my car and realized they neglected to give me the strawberry one, so I pulled in to the drive through to order two strawberry donuts this time (truly they're phenomenal so now I wanted one😂). I ordered my two strawberry donuts and drove 40 minutes home to find two sad, unfrosted, non-strawberry, plain glazed donuts in my bag. I understand an honest mistake, but to have it made twice by two different employees in 5 minutes was disappointing.
Brandon Jay
They have the best donuts in all of Utah but the worst phone etiquette. You would think they could hire an extra person or two to take phone calls thus equalling more phone orders. They are always rude when I call and often times they put me on hold forever or even hang up on me because they are too rushed. I have read a lot online about this company not treating their employees very well. 3 stars for good donuts but not good customer service. Lets hope the Centerville location will do it right.
John Sellers
Probably the best donuts in Salt Lake County. The fresh maple donut was fluffy and delightful. I enjoy the buttermilk donut and blueberry cake donuts. Go early though if you want to get the good ones.
zi yan lim
I actually like their bran muffins more than the donuts! The Apple bran muffin tasted so good!!!
Ryan Sweet
I'm not a donut guy, but these were pretty good. I got these to have on hand as a snack in between hikes. My group loved them. I came in early on a weekend and was greeted by an attentive and friendly staff.
Dianna
The cinnamon and the chocolate cake donuts were very good. Soft and light but still had a nice chew. The cake also had a nice crispness on the outside too.
I don't usually get blueberry but that was also good.
They have donut hole versions of some of their regular donuts which is a really nice treat.
There's also a drive-thru if you don't want to go in.
Nate Winter
Love the donuts here. The fresh Fritters are good. The cinnamon ones are also good. Fast service that isn't very friendly... Makes you feel like you need to hurry and get out. Overall totally worth it. Building is fairly clean.
Update: I understand and appreciate the need to get EVERYONE one of these delicious donuts! I just have felt a little at odds with the staff a few times. No big deal. Overall you're winning it though and I highly recommend everyone get these donuts!
Kenny tan
Brilliant donuts / and sooo sooo affordable - pick up a dozen and go home happy
Samuel Sherrick
Matthew is the best little donut boy i've ever seen when asked him to give me three donuts with extra special creamy sauce he did so less than three minutes which makes him the best little donut boy i've ever seen fr on god u should prolly give him a raise
MR MR
Wow, talk about some airy donuts! They have a signature cinnamon donut that's like eating airy, fluffy cinnamon toast crunch. 18 dollars got me a dozen donuts (including a fritter), filled donuts are extra, and a dozen donut holes.
Two additional points
1. The young man taking our order was terrible. Not only did he act and look like he rolled out of bed but he had no idea about basic questions (what's an old fashioned donut? It's an old fashioned donut. Do you have any raspberry filled glazed donuts? Uh... What?). He may have just been high and if so I'm offended he didn't offer me those special donuts 🤣
2. The older gentleman and fellow customer were fantastic. They were knowledgeable, friendly, had great customer service. Not sure if it was the owner but I'm assuming it was and if so he's the magic of Banbury Cross!
Rose Sommers
Best donuts in Salt Lake, raised sugar is as light as a cloud and like all their choices, it's delicious! I also love being able to order by phone and drive thru to pickup. Love this place! It's been a family favorite over the past decade. They may not be the faddish crazy donuts but I appreciate the traditional, tasty perfection they continue to serve. Just like so many things in life, this small, friendly shop serves "fabulous" in box.
Michael Erin Strong
Whoa. Rich, intense chocolate cake and frosting. Smooth, delicious texture in the cake and in the thick frosting. And, a surprisingly crisp exterior that makes it taste fresh, light, and unique.
Sarah Finau
We were lucky enough to meet the owners of this establishment while they were checking in for a flight. They were so kind and they even brought us donuts! These donuts are so soft and delicious! I'm so glad I got to try them because now I have a new favorite donut shop! Thank you Mr and Mrs Morrow!! You made our day! ❤❤
I 100% recommend!
Andrew Woodruff
Banbury Cross is one of the best places to get donuts in Utah! Period, end of story. The chocolate covered Bavarian Cream donuts are excellent, as are the old fashioned donuts and buttermilk bars. Their blueberry donut is excellent too. Honestly, you can't go wrong at Banbury Cross! Absolutely give it a shot!!
jer carter
I love the donuts here! We get up in the morning to be there and get the best selection because they do sell out fast. We live about 30 minutes away, but it's totally worth the drive. The cinnamon donut is to die for!
Michael Clifton
Probably some of the best Donuts I've ever had!
Anthony Fellows
Love this place! The dough is SO soft!
And pay little to no attention to the whiner about Banburys covid sign, as someone keen on suppressing a company's right to free speech probably shouldn't have their opinion trusted - at all - let alone the fact that they publicly reviewed a donut shop without one mention of the quality of food itself.
Their strawberry donut is especially excellent!
Shane McGuire
Here's the thing, Banbury Cross is consistently one of the top 5 donut shops I've ever been too. They have a great selection with wonderful flavors but the real star of the show is the cinnamon crumble. It's pure perfection. It's a donut I crave fortnightly. Pillowy soft, moist yeast donut that is light and fluffy and moist all at the same time. The cinnamon crumble coating is divine. It is the perfect thickness, not too sweet, not took cinnamony, but pairs perfectly to the donut. Do yourself a favor and just pick up a dozen of these bad boys and then anything else that sounds appetizing.
A Wolfe
A great place. Always happily take a large order to be picked up early the next morning. You walk in and they acknowledge you even though they are busy. They do get backed up in the am but they are running fast. Donuts are great, well priced and fresh, support small business before they all disappear.
Nadia Vanderwatt
We LOVE Banbury Cross donuts (even if they sell out of their best flavors as soon as they are made). The filled donut holes are a special delight! Their cake donuts are unbelievably delicious (and I don't even like cake donuts that much, generally speaking).
Jacob Vandermeide
Great service, the old fashioned donut is very good. I wasn't a huge fan of the regular donut with sprinkles. Lots of options to go back and try though!
Savannah O'Sickey
Just okay, in my opinion. Not far from here is Fresh Donut & Deli which I believe is way tastier.
Kim Welliver
Plenty of fresh made donuts, even at 11 a.m. Tha apple fritters are filled with chunks of cinnamon apples, and the chocolate iced chocolate cake was perfection: delicately crispy on the huge outside, fluffy and soft on the inside. Wonderful bear claws, and good coffee.
Jana Schwarz
The donuts were phenomenal and I regretted that I only got 3 (easily the best ones I ever had). However, the place was very busy and ordering was stressful. I would recommend to pre-order and just pick up.
Andrew H
Donuts here are nice and fluffy with a great flavor for the basic ones and some of the special ones. The fritters are OK with the apple one being the best and the cherry one is different. The cake donuts are average with other places being better. The chocolate bar is good if you like dark chocolate but I feel it does not go well with the donut base. Glazed and jelly filled are my favorite ones to eat here. If you like cake donuts other places are better.
Rach B
Anyone else notice that most of the negative reviews regarding the sign are from people who have only written reviews in other states? They obviously don’t live in Utah. Have they ever even been to Utah?
They are also clueless about the whole situation and clearly are not currently in any position related to the service industry. Quit saying it’s because they aren’t willing to pay enough. I have job ads out paying $30 an hour for a job that paid $15 an hour two years ago. I am not exaggerating. Still can’t get any reliable help.
Regardless, let’s keep the reviews about the actual product.
Banbury, your donuts have been the best in the state for decades. I actually thought I didn’t even like donuts until eating yours. Now, I’m a donut connoisseur! I haven’t lived in Utah for a while, but we always make a trip to your store when we’re in town. I’m excited to bring my kids here now and share your donuts with a new generation. Yum!
P.S. I think you should quadruple the price of your donuts.
Jake
Some of the best donut shops around SLC Utah. They have a cinnamon one that is to die for. And with seasonal and Holliday treats they always have something for just about everyone. At times their drive through gets really packed/crowded. If you see it backed up park on the street and walk in to order you’ll save yourself a headache.
P Springs
I drive from Utah County to this location to spread some cheer through the neighborhood! Great donuts! These are spudnuts, so they have a slightly different taste. The cinnamon are my faves!
Forget the reviews that wax political. The sign on the door is NOT political, it's reality. Ask any small business owner in the service industry and they will tell you the same thing. Hiring is a major struggle right now and there's nothing indicating a change to that situation in the near future. Point? Be patient with the lines and the staff (which was the entire point of the sign).
Wendy Beagley
Omg. Stay away I don't want to wait in line. These are too good to pass by. Addicted!!
ty the pie
Best doughnuts I have ever had by far! I have never had doughnuts like them anywhere else!
Sara Archambault
I love getting donuts here! It’s hard to get them fresh which is why I rated 4 stars because once you get them fresh and warm anything else is a let down, they’re so good!
Bryan Mildenhall (PDub's unkie, aka Unk)
They have the most amazing donuts and always have. I have frequented them for many years. This particular day they had just closed and were beginning their production for the next day's business, but the gentleman at the drive-thru window was so accommodating and so pleasant he allowed me and my guest to purchase donuts after the usual business hours, which was very much appreciated. I will continue to purchase sweets from them because they are outstanding and some of the best anyone could ever taste or ask for. I am a hopeless donut fanatic.
Wendy Pettit
By far the BEST donuts in the USA. Their Maple Bars are incredible! Excellent service and donuts that rock a party! Thanks and Happy Valentines day to you and your awesome team!
Veronica Sivo
I come here way more often than I should haha. My favorite donuts in all of Utah! Strawberry and chocolate glazed are my favorite, but they’re all good! I love their drive through for convenience.
Stephen Cohen
So happy they opened near me. Best donuts in the valley
Yaser Rahimi
Love the Fluffyness but overly sweet. It's like eating frosted flakes but not wanting the milk cause it taste like pure sugar
Catherine Barajas
I usually love your donuts. The plain glazed are my favorite and I've had them many times. Today, I was disappointed. I'm positive that they were day old donuts. They were cold and not as soft and fluffy as usual. Your donuts are the only ones that are still good the next day and I usually do buy extras for the next morning but to sell day old donuts without telling your customers is not right. I'm sure I'll go back again but today I was very disappointed.
Channing McCabe
Pretty decent donuts. We were able to come in and grab a quick dozen. It was super weird, tho. The drive in sign was still there but the employees just looked at us blankly when we pulled up. Not sure if it's open. Good for a last min morning donut spot
Cathy Archibald
Parking is awful in the morning due to the drive thru line going through it. However They have the best donuts! Be sure to go in the morning as some of their more popular donuts are sold out before ten.
Jeff Calton
Easily the best bakery in Utah! I know that's a bold statement but I stand by it. I bought 3 dozen donuts for my office and the staff was extremely friendly when I called to see about placing an order. They said I didn't need to, but when I got there they had everything ready with my name on it. I'm excited to continue giving them my business.
Julia “Jules” W
Their donuts are truly authentic. Fresh, perfectly balanced frosting, topping to donut ratio. They have all my favorite California childhood donuts, buttermilk bars, old fashioned, cinnamon twists, fritters & holes. Definitely not a chain shop & I love it. Nice friendly staff, with good pricing. Even has a drive-thru. No wonder they have been around for decades.
Mario Kato
As a visitor from Texas, this place is amazing. bigger than your average sized donuts. A must stop. Friendly staff and fast service. Did not take pictures, because they were so good and were gone before I could.
Kozmo Kramer
Friend brought these by the house. Excellent! Especially the blueberry.
Brent Tate
One of the best single bites of food Utah has to offer. I wished a location was closer to where I live, but worth the 20 min drive regularly. Peanut covered cake donut to die for. Love the donut holes too. The smell as you walk in will probably be the same kind of smell when you walk into heaven someday. Blueberry are amazing too.... just almost always gone when I come in.
David A Kingston
I love their donuts. I would rate them as one of utahs best donut shops. My favorite donut is their blue berry. It's really good, but they run out of them quick. Strongly recommend. Still taste amazing
ROBERT HUNTER
Not only the best donuts in Utah...but a contender for the best in the country!! No lie.
Their cinnamon donut is particularly amazing!
Delicious every single time I go here. Never disappoints. Just be careful, their donuts are addicting. Ha!

My wife and I were up in Sugar House and she wanted donuts but the Dunkin' had closed down since the last time we had been up that way. Decided to do a search and found Banbury Cross Donuts so I decided "Screw it, let's give a local joint a shot." Got a Maple bar, 2 maple donuts and an apple fritter and it was only $6.05 so price is definitely a 5 star aspect.
When I pulled in, there was a sign saying "Award Winning Donuts" to which I'm skeptical because some awards can be handed out all willy nilly. Let me just say, these are some of the best donuts I've ever had and very much deserving of ANY award they have received there. Honestly, if I could choose a place for donuts in Wendover (since we don't have one other than Smith's) it would be these guys (business opportunity?). We were very pleased with our donuts, and fritter which managed to be dense but still fluffy. We will definitely be back for more.

The best dang doughnuts in the SLC Valley. A huge selection, excellent location, drive-thru option, and the most delicious doughnuts this side of Winchells. This is honestly the only place I buy doughnuts from.
Ray Lin
Wonderful local Utah donuts! Cachiers were friendly and made my day.
Jenna Dewey
I received a gift certificate here and have been enjoying these ever since! Best yeast donuts in the valley. Cinnamon is my favorite.
Renaissance Man Reviews
They don't have bags, only cardboard boxes. This makes it almost impossible to pick up donuts if you're biking.
dahliarei13
Some of the best doughnuts hands down in the valley. Great service and always a can do attitude. I've never come to Banbury and had a bad time or dealt with upset or angry workers.
Sachi Honjo Thornley
We got a dozen assorted doughnuts. I was too overwhelmed with all the options and just had them pick for me haha good price and soooo yummy especially when warm.
Christopher Rogers
Very possibly the best doughnuts in the western United States. We have been frequenting this shop for decades and have never been disappointed.
Brinn H
Delicious! We bought a half dozen and our favorites were the maple bar and chocolate cake doughnut. The plain glazed is good too--like a sugar-coated cloud. The apple fritter was a little too sweet and heavy for my preference--I couldn't really taste the apple--but I know many people love this one, so maybe it's just me.
Mishelle Martin
I love the doughnuts at Banbury. They are ight and fluffy. Most of the times, they are super fresh
Kyle Dunlap
These are simply the best donuts I've ever had. The apple fritter and blueberry cake donut were incredible. The prices were surprisingly low for the quality. I would highly recommend this to anybody who enjoys a good donut.
Eric Forbush
I love this place. Donuts are best hot so eat them as quick as you can. They are consistently cooking donuts so they are fresh all day. I love the blueberry donuts. I think cake donuts are the way to go just because the normal glazed is a tad greasy. Super friendly staff. Make sure to hit it up for National Donut Day 🍩 …
Emmanuel Doelue
Donuts themselves were great. The lady taking our order was not too friendly
Grant Baron
Best donuts around SLC. They do the classics. Nothing over the top or crazy but very very good. Their apple fritters are the best I've had.
Kristin Hessick
Good donuts. I love the Boston creme donut holes! If the line of cars goes out to 700 e, it's a 15 minute wait, and you are better off parking and going inside.

I have been here a few times in my life, and I have to say that these donuts are by far the best! Their glaze donuts honestly melt in your mouth. They are like a soft fluffy pillow and they are worth eating 2 of them. I do have to say that it's kind of sad that I now live 45 minutes away for this delicious piece of heaven, but I'm thinking that it's probably a good thing or else I would be weighing 8000 pounds😄😄. I highly recommend going here if you get the chance😁👍
jorge salazar
The donuts were delicious
We got a different variety they were well priced
When we got our order they looked hard but they were so soft and good
Debi Pratt
Very good maple bars. Their fritters are also wonderful- crispy and sweet edges and doughy and soft middle with hints of apples inside. The rest of their selection is pretty basic but well done and always presented nicely. Always fresh and always a line. One of the best in Salt Lake City.
Carla Wright
I kept reading this place has “award winning donuts.” Naturally, I need them.
That was 3 years ago 🙈
They are so award winning that the native Utahns and senior locals know enough to show up as close to opening as possible. Any other time and you risk long lines and sad dreams of sold-out products.
So, last week, my friend and I set our alarm for Sunday at 6:10am, to throw shoes on and drive down 700 E to get there within opening hour.
There were already people coming and going but no line.
Excited, we walked in there overwhelmed at the choices laid before us.
They have white cake and chocolate cake donuts that come with a variety of toppings.
They have traditional donuts and filled donuts.
They have their own version of donut holes.
Muffins, bear claws, and rosettes.
... they have apple fritters.
Needless to say my friend and I obviously ordered almost all the above mentioned and threw ourselves into a sugar coma— but i digress.
These donuts are worth getting up early for.
Healey Patrick
Okay I get arguments on this all the time but I think it's the best donut made in Utah.
I really love their Rosetta or butterfly glazed donuts they have just a touch of cinnamon that's perfect. Their twists are big. My wife and I both love their chocolate covered donuts, she prefers the bars over the regular donuts. They do the same thing with their maple and my kids love those. My daughter-in-law loves their blueberry cake. I like their cake with chocolate frosting a lot also. if you're going on Saturday do it early. And if you show up in the afternoon you can count on half the donuts being gone.
Shara Hansen
Seriously amazing. A coworker brought in donuts and I tried a simple glazed with white frosting. 😊 My most fave part about the donut was that it was slightly crispy on the outside. Which told me they were all definitely fresh. I can't wait pick out my own donuts! …
Maresa Youngberg
I liked that the donuts weren't overly sweet. Most of the time when I try to eat a donut I'm "sugared out" before finishing. The chocolate cake donuts were very good. They were fluffier than I'm used to, but we loved them. We went at the end of the day when they were out of almost everything, so we were just taking what they had but it was very good. We will go back. Maybe a little earlier next time for more selection. When it gets close to closing time they close the lobby but you can still go through the drive through up until closing. Highly recommend.
My new favorite thing to do right before closing is to ask for assorted dozen of whatever they have left. Always a fun and delicious surprise.
Nathan Kirk
The best donuts you'll get anywhere in the state, maybe the country. The drive thru makes it so convenient & they're open early. A must have if you like donuts. I haven't seen any police cars there tho....lol
Stefanie Herrnberger
Wonderful donuts, soft, smooth, delicious, various donuts, drive through window, nice staff, good prices, but tables not very clean.
Doug Quist
Best donuts in town. Had great timing -- right in between two rushes, so no wait nor parking issues. Still not as good as Stan's in Santa Clara, CA, but MUCH more convenient, now. Will definitely return!
Christina Dimaggio
Nothing better than a local mainstay!
From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the delicious smell of donuts and warm smiles (though right now they are behind masks)
I got a plain donut with sprinkles this time, but I was very impressed by the variety available! Next time, I’ll spring for the apple fritters. They’re at least the size of your head.
Prices are also extremely reasonable!
JD Caldwell
A local favorite for years, Banbury cross hosts what I would freely say are the best cake donuts I have ever had the distinct pleasure of stuffing myself with. Honestly, I can never have only one. The outside has a perfect crisp to it, and a lusciously moist and soft spongy inside, and the icing is never overdone or overpowering, even on more standout flavors like maple. At a FANTASTIC price no less, Banbury offers a great selection of donuts and attentive staff, though it is worth noting that the shop will close in the afternoon so make sure to get your fix in the morning. When I leave SLC, Banbury Cross will be one of the things I will miss the most!
Vetricia Jones
The donuts were scrumptious! Staff could be a little nicer. But it was still a good experience. After three other donut shops trying to find the perfect donuts. Thanks Banbury!
Jacob Ritter
An amazing donut shop that is very underrated. The best donut shop in Salt Lake City for the price. Very fresh, the customer service is amazing, and just an overall great little spot. I don’t write reviews often, but they were really great to me and even with the long line got me in and out and went above and beyond. Thanks guys!
Carlie Mack Lund
I've never had a cake donut like these! My family has been telling me for years about this place, so when I came to town I had to go. They were out of most of my family's favorites, so we went with the strawberry cake donuts, chocolate coconut, and apple fritter. The cake donuts were AMAZING. They were delicately crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I'm sad I don't live closer to this place, but I can't wait to go back! I'll definitely be visiting this every time I'm in town!
Kerry Moore
Seriously - the donuts at Banbury Cross have to be the best in the world! I'm not much of a donut consumer, but occasionally I do like a good sugar donut and these are absolutely the very best I have ever tasted! Light, fluffy, and not overly sugared (it's not the typical large granule sugar that most places use - but rather a lighter sugar). It's hard not to eat three of them in one sitting! They have many different kinds of donuts and they all seem just as good as the sugar donut. They're made right there on site. I love the drive-up window!
James Ehlers
This place is amazing. Delicious doughnuts and great people. We stopped by craving doughnuts and the owner opened the window and took great care of us with a dozen cake doughnuts. We were confused they only had cake doughnuts until we realized they'd been closed for 45 minutes! We apologized profusely but he said he didn't want anyone to go hungry. Great guy, great doughnuts, worth the price.
Kaitlin Herrington
If you get the maple bar, you won’t be disappointed. Unfortunately we ventured away from the classic donuts though. We got an orange roll, a sticky bun, and an apple fritter. The apple fritter was pretty good, but the orange roll and sticky bun were pretty dry and didn’t taste fresh. We also had to wait an extra 5 minutes to pay after getting our donuts, which isn’t a deal breaker, but it could be run a lot more efficiently with the amount of workers. All in all, I liked this place, but there are plenty of good options around here so I probably won’t go back.
Kaymarie Ybarra
They have the best donuts!! I only know 1 other place they are equal to and that place is in Michigan! They are so soft and so delicious. They are larger than others too! I just had a donut that I bought yesterday and it was kept in the sack and still was delicious!! Worth the trip for sure.
Alkamatus
Nothing like fresh delicious donuts on the cheap. I was shocked how little i paid for three bags stuffed full of all manner of diabetes and they were delicious to the last, definitely spend your money here.
Tim Drake
Delicious, fresh, soft donuts of all varieties. Highly recommended if you like longjohns, glazed, and other classic yeast or cake donuts.
Natalie G
This place has such fresh and delicious doughnuts. If you like doughnuts, then go here. They're great!
Erica Trittschuh Armitage
These donuts are amazing, especially the glazed. Love that there's a drive-thru. Inside is no frills, which is good as they clearly focus on the donuts. Can get busy in the mornings, but the staff gets orders taken quickly. Best part, the prices are totally reasonable. I do wish that they'd offer a paper bag with handles for their large boxes (even at an additional charge) as it can be cumbersome to carry a few boxes.
Felipe “Philipe” Lorenzo
What can I say, the best donuts I ever have (IMO). A small but very popular sweet to locals. I was introduced into this sweet at work from University of Utah on several occasions like meeting, party and gathering and become a staple sweet for an event, my kids go crazy about it, yes be careful they will have sugar rush so limit to one donut only. not sure if its family own or business venture but this business is a plus for the salt lake community of Utah. Just have to try it to believe it.
matt m
Great service, great donuts, great shop. Can’t really go wrong with it. They are fresh and taste like they got good ingredients. It’s a nice environment in the shop too. I enjoyed every donut I have got here for a few years so why not go here they won’t disappoint
Andrew Washburn
These donuts are best as soon as you get your hands on them. While they aren’t the best donuts I’ve ever had, they are some of the better donuts in the SLC area. Just know if you got at peak hours, the line can be upwards of an hour.
Kelly Gee
So so good! Maple long and apple fritter were good. Plain glazed good and chocolate iced seemed to be more of a dark chocolate. Lots of variety. Super soft and fresh!
Nina Estevez
We bought a dozen donuts and they were all DELICIOUS! Light and melt-in-your-mouth in the middle, with a slight crispy crust. All of the frosting and toppings were good too. We are new to the area and this is definitely our new fav.
Elizabeth Clive
Their donuts are amazing. Seriously so freaking good. The only downside is they never make enough of their most popular donut flavors so you have to get there pretty early in the morning if you want to get them, but it's totally worth it. I can't wait to go again.
cam Sherm
Best donuts ever. Maple bars that come straight from heaven made by angels.
Peter Harrison
The donuts are really good. From the old fashioned, to the double blueberry they have mastered the flavor, consistency and texture of the donut. The customer service and cleanliness leave a little bit to be desired. I live just a few blocks away and frequent this place often with my daughters (daddy daughter outings), but I'm never greeted with a smile. I get it you guys are busy. You have a great product but could treat your loyal customers a little better.
Mark Heisel
Great selection of donuts! The smells should be bottled up and sold! I had a maple bar. Very good!
Amanda Widing
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We moved to Utah in 2019 and I continue to bring all of our visiting family to Banbury. We used to live closer but we moved and the 40 minutes it now takes to get there and back is 100% worth the effort.
Sariah Porter
The cinnamon donut and blueberry cake donut are to die for! Go early because they sell out fast. They do continue to bake some flavors throughout the day but you might not get the particular donut you want. The staff are so friendly even when they are busy!
Laura Bloomfield
This is THE best donut shop I have ever been to. You NEED to go here if you enjoy deliciousness!
The parking lot is tiny, and the drive thru wraps around the building, so you might be afraid to compete for a spot, but it would be worth parking down the street if you have to. And don't be afraid of the line that is usually to the door... I have yet to have a slow employee, they get you through quickly and with a good attitude.
There are some chairs and tables in the store, and you will not be disappointed to stay there and eat your donut as fresh as you can, but they will make it home or to the office and still be good. Even the next day, if you have any left, they will be okay, but the fresher the better, for sure.
I haven't had a flavor I didn't like, but just a heads up: the maple is pretty mild, not like a grocery store's super fake flavored dark maple bar. And on the other end of the spectrum, the chocolate is super dark chocolate. The cinnamon is my favorite, and the sprinkle donut holes are amazing, too.
Any time I'm in SLC this is a mandatory stop... If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and grab a dozen!
Deborah DeKoff
A must for doughnut fans everywhere!
Lines are long to get into the hard to get out of lot. Suggestion: Park on the road, or on the side street. Walk in. Quicker and faster. Best doughnut? The cinnamon one! It just MELTS in your mouth...
Joshua Robbins
Best donuts I've ever had! Inner-fluff perfection!!
John Byers
Banbury Cross Donuts are very good. I think they are a bit over-hyped, but definitely good. Their service is excellent. I had a huge order for Halloween, and so did a bunch of other people. The store was packed, but they did a great job getting people in and out quickly, despite a stressful atmosphere.
Ruth Wolfe
Get there early for best selection, but overall excellent! Blueberry cake donuts and plain glazed are our favorites. It's impressive how such a small building can churn out so many tasty treats!
Viki Rivera
I lived in SLC for 9 years and Banbury Cross Donuts were my go to Donuts. Cinnamon Crunch being my favorite. When ever the subject of Donuts comes up I tell people Banbury Cross are the best hands down.
Clayton Barlow
These donuts are delicious and they have a lot of varieties. From a simple chocolate glazed to an apple fritter. My favorites are the blueberry donut and the cinnamon donut.
Liz Jentzsch
THE BEST DONUTS. EVER! I Crave these donuts when I'm away, and always make sure to grab one or two when I'm in town. Their texture is So fluffy, they taste slightly buttery, and they have an amazing selection of shapes and flavors. (Maple and Strawberry are my favorite) Not gonna lie though, their chocolate icing isn't great, so choose a different donut flavor. Still though, would give more stars if I could.
McKenzie Godwin
I really like donuts. Some might even call me a connoisseur. I've tried many donut shops throughout the U.S., and Banbury is one of my favorite. The cake donuts are my go to, but all I have tried are very good. They are crunchy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and simply delicious. The drive up window is also super convenient and appeals to the millennial in me. :)
LeeAnna Guyett
Came into Salt Lake City from Wyoming and wanted to stop by a donut shop while I was in town. This donut shop was so highly rated that it was the obvious choice.
My family and I arrived just after eleven. I was pleased to see so many types of donuts still available. We loaded up with many different types bear claws, apple fritters, old fashion, and cake donuts.
The donuts tasted good, they were not warm which is to be expected at eleven, but they were just good. Nothing exceptional.
The workers were very nice and even offered my daughters donuts free of charge that had been a little squished from earlier in the morning.
Overall it was a good donut shop, but not one I would go out of my way to return to.
Saxby Chambliss
Gosh Damn, this donuts are going to build up my cholesterol. But They are so delicious so not complaints from me here
D3adsk011 YT
Matthew is such a good worker he should be able to work in a wife beater
Lacreaa Johnson
Ohhh my goodness!!! DELICIOUS!!! I love how rich and crisp, yet soft and sweet these doughnuts are!! Hands down the best doughnuts I've had since making them with my grandma 25years ago. Thank you Banbury for such quality treats!!! Great prices too!!
Lauren Skufca
This place was kind of a let down. Supposedly the best donuts in Utah but they hardly had any selection and most of them were pretty oily. I also didn't care for their chocolate icing- it had a weird taste. I did get 2 twists that were good. I suggest visiting them before 8 am and maybe they have more selection then.
Ofelia Lopez
Always has fresh dounts and even gave a sample dount to my daughter . They provide fast service always in and out. They even have a drive thur if you don't want to go inside.
Debi Heyn
Today it was not crowded! I lived here in 1977 and they just were opening and I never tried it but everyone else seemed to. Then I moved never having the chance! It was worth the wait for now I and husband are on a mission here. I just wish they did a Bavarian cram filled with maple frosting OR maple cream filled with maple frosting.
Gabi Pensari-McQuay
Always smells amazing! Best dounuts around town! Highly reccomend the blueberry old fashion.
Britt
Not my family's favorite. They enjoy more mellow donut flavors. These were quite sugary. Not bad donuts, just not for us with such sweet icing.
James Turnbull
The previous reviewer said these donuts have to be the best in the world. I have actually eaten donuts in many places both domestically and internationally, and, while I might not technically agree with that review, the donuts at Banbury Cross are so good as to make the difference between them and the world's best moot. If you're looking for donuts in the Salt Lake Valley, go to Banbury Cross. Anything else pales in comparison.
Chad Nicol
PRO TIP: If you want a random assortment, don't leave it up to the employees. Better to pick them out yourself. We ordered 36 random donuts and got only a few different donuts over and over again, instead of random donuts from the many they offer. So annoying. I wish we would have checked the boxes before driving away. -- with that said, the donuts ARE good. Some of my favorite in Utah.
Austin Jones
Branbury Cross Donuts are a must try if you are visiting or living in Salt Lake. They're the best baked donuts. They have many original flavors and types of donuts.
One tip is to go earlier in the morning when the donuts are fresh. Although, be mindful of the drive thru. It can quickly get crowded and long. The parking lot isn't very big, so if there's a line, you're going to be idling out on the busy street.
Anna Conrado
My favorite donut shop EVER!! 🍩
My boss brought some to a work meeting over 12 years ago and the rest is history.
My absolute favorite is the sticky bun... OMGosh HEAVEN!!
But every pastry I've tried has been delicious, mouth watering fluff. The staff is always kind and great at helping me chose the perfect pastry for my day. 😋 Keep up the great work.
Scott Hess (GrimRubix)
There's not much to say, really. They're the best Donut shop in the Utah Valley. Large, soft donuts in a good variety. The variety doesn't expand very far, but what they do make is top tier. Simple bottled drinks. This is the perfect place to ask for a "Dozen mixed". Gives you a good spread of what they make in one box.
Natasha Asmus
We love these local donuts. For $9 a dozen it's easy to get carried away! Get there early for the best selections, they sell out quick. We have ordered dozens of donuts for weddings and parties and have always been impressed with the service. They are very busy!
Jordan Luu
Amazing !! Josh is incredible and the donuts in this city are the best !! Plz visit !
Kelsey Berteaux
Amazing doughnuts; even the plain ones are great! I love the yeasty flavor of it (just tastes fresh and delicious--I promise).
This is a very popular donut place downtown, so it can be very busy, especially in the mornings. There is a drive-thru option if you don't have time to go inside that helps cut time down a little.
Benjamin I Meszaros (Ben Meszaros)
Giving 5 stars because they have really great, classic donuts and it's a Salt Lake staple. I hope they never remodel, because it feels like a 30 yr old donut shop should.
My only complaint is the customer service. I've had some of the worst service here- standing around for way too long for someone to pay attention to me and feels like I was putting them out by asking for service. It's not always this way, but I hope the owners notice the problem and take steps to hire the right people and train them appropriately.
Still, even with this, I'm still giving five stars. Life is too short and their donuts are too delicious.
Kath Alvarado
Is a beautiful place, a good taste, the people is very nice and the donuts is a very good taste 🙃🙃🙃 …
Taylor Gowan
Delicious donuts! They were a hit at work and sold at a super reasonable price.
Jaida
Very delicious donuts! I honestly am not a donut person, I just love to taste and support local places that I hear about a lot and Banbury is a name I hear on a daily here. If I ever crave a donut though, this is the place I'll come to! :)
Amy Hanson
This place has the BEST doughnuts!!! We love getting these for all our work occasions! They are perfectly cooked, great flavor choices and always quick!
John Ivester
They’re really good and really fresh (duh) but the only issue is I can’t eat only one. I eat 2/3 and then need a nap. Plus the drive thru makes it quick. I think it’s less than $12 for a dozen so... try a bunch of em!
Hatuletoh
If Banbury Cross only served their cinnamon donut, that would be enough for me to patronize the place (I call that variety "spice donuts" because that's how the donut shop in my old home town labeled them; pardon me if I slip back and forth between the two). It is without question the best cinnamon donut I have ever eaten, and I've eaten quite a few, from quite a few places because I love anything flavored with cinnamon. I even like the fake cinnamon flavor of those kind of disgusting, big, red gummy bears. So on the one hand, I'm not very discriminating when comes to cinnamon; on the other, I've had many spice donuts, pastries, etc. I am an expert amateur when it comes to assessing a good cinnamon cake dessert, and again with no qualifiers: Banbury Cross cinnamon is the best donut I have ever tasted. They always have a thick layer of cinnamon and sugar caked on the outside, but never so much that it overwhelms the soft, doughy donut flavor beneath it. Those donuts are truly one of the few perfectly made dishes I've ever eaten, and as I said, if the place was just "Banbury Cross Cinnamon Donuts", I'd be all over it.
But that is not the case. BC has a variety of donut types, more or less the usual spread one would expect from a donut shop. I have to admit, however, I've only tried (besides the spice) the sprinkled cake donuts, glazed donuts, and the chocolate bars and rounds. I'd like to try other kinds, but those four are so good that I can't bring myself to waste time with others. I don't really care for maple donuts, or orange sweet rolls, so why order them when I could get a couple cinnamon donuts, and a dozen rainbow sprinkle donut holes? Or a chocolate sprinkle donut, a glazed twist, and a half-dozen cinnamon donut holes? Come to think of it, I rarely even order chocolate for myself because it's good, but there are other places that have pretty good chocolate donuts. Heck, 7-11 chocolate donuts are pretty decent when fresh. But BC's glazed, sprinkled, and esp cinnamon, of course, are on an entirely different level of delicious than any other donut in the SL Valley, so that's what I order and probably will continue to do so. Catching their second batch still warm from the oven in the early afternoon is like winning the damn lottery...
Dan Gibbs
Was a very cute place...the clerk's was very helpful very professional knowledgeable 😊😊😊😊😊 …
Alicia
I originally went here back in 2015 and wasn’t impressed. Drove by here on a Sunday as bought why not let’s give it another try. Only ordered an original glazed and Chocolate glazed. Both were very soft, fresh, and tasty. Prices were cheap. Took the drive through - doesn’t fit many cars so go at an odd time. I will try it once more before it gets a full 5 stars.
David Bobrowsky
Coming from California originally these donuts are some of the best that I have ever had. The staff was very friendly and the premises are very clean. For the person who left a one star review saying that the donuts were too sweet, they sell donuts, they consist of sugar and dough, and that is why we buy them! And the the person saying that they are only open in the morning, this is a donut shop and most are only open in the morning. I am sorry that they are not Krispy Kreme and open all night, but the fact is that the donuts here are far superior than those from a donut shop open all night.
Will come back again and again....
MejiCast
The best, the softest, and the freshest donuts you'll ever have in utah. Hands down. 😋 🤤 …
Winnie Day
Amazingly delicious donuts! The price is right, too. The drive-thru situation often stresses me out, but it's worth it, I can't stop coming back.
Cindy Garcia
Usually there isn't a long wait for someone to come to the window. This morning I waited 5 to 10 minutes and even though there were people making donuts and some made eye contact with me, nobody came to take my order. It was 5:00 am when I pulled up and 5:08 am when I finally left. Nobody came to the window. I finally left.
kendra
Service was incredibly fast, there was a line out the door when I went and I was waiting for less than 5 minutes! the donuts are also AMAZING, I've never had a particular affection for strawberry donuts but the one I had from Banbury Cross was quite possibly the best donut I've ever eaten. The donuts are light, tender, and taste like a heavenly angel chorus. I'm not kidding.
Kenneth Butler
Just here to give 5 stars to the place that holds sweet memories for me. Often I would go there with my mom before she dropped me off to school and she went off to work. They are a fixture in my memory and a beautiful part of Salt Lake City.
Dwight
Donut selection is not as big as larger chains, which might upset you if you want a French cruller, but the taste is great. I recommend trying Banbury whenever you're in town for the taste and quality alone. However, donuts go fast and it's hit or miss if you'll be charged extra for hand picking or getting filled donuts: I've had one good experience and another where it cost an extra five dollars for a dozen before I headed to work.
Brett Skinner
So today was the first ever time visiting this establishment. I ordered a glaze donut Cost is 1.14 after tax and sadly it did not blow me away. Reminded me of scone dough in both taste and texture. A very dense dough. Me personally have to say your just as well off with a grocerie store doughnut. However it was very busy while I was there so some people like it more than me.
Ben Helstad
I have always loved their donuts here. They have a great selection and are well known in the salt lake valley for having amazing donuts!
The service is great and quick, but one thing I have noticed is that if you show up a little later (10 or 11), they are running low on certain types of donuts. If you want the best they have, go early!
Daniel Skidmore
Maybe the best donuts on the planet. Try the strawberry or cinnamon ones. They will change your life.
John Allison
My first experience with their donuts was when they catered a morning meeting for us and they were delicious! Unfortunately, my first experience in the store was not as great. I do have to caveat it with the fact that I came in the afternoon so the donuts were not fresh but that's OK. My biggest small complaint was that the cashier and help seemed like they could have cared less to help my wife and I and were just trying to rush us out of there. To top it off they gave us the wrong bag of donuts. Luckily, we were able to figure it out before we gobbled down the sweet, rich, and gooey goodness.
Sheena Cram
We got there and the line was long so I thought it was going to take forever. But it went really quickly. They came out and took my order and then we went around the corner and paid. The donuts were fresh and delicious. Lots of different flavors and options.
Meg Reppart
THE Fluffiest donuts ever!! I love it. I travel quite a bit and eat at different places often. Banbury is the best! Not stopping for donuts there will not complete the trip to Salt Lake!
Jen Bird
THE place to get donuts. They blow away the competition like Krispy Kreme easily. Their donuts have such a superior flavor and quality they really are a delight. You can enjoy one or even two without being overwhelmed by sweetness and sugar. They've nailed the perfect sweetness and flavor. A family owned and operated business that has remained successful for so long because of their superior donuts and bakery. They really are all that...go in and check them out and see for yourself. You'll be glad you did!!
Kelly W
These are great traditional donuts. So many donuts these days taste like cupcakes baked in a donut mold, but these gems are the real deal: deep fried donut batter. Yum. Get some.
Dalton Earl
The donuts are actually fantastic when they are fresh. When I went on a Thursday at 3:00 the donuts were just alright, I'm really not sure when they are baked. I guess try to call ahead to see when they are the freshest
Barry Shutt
This place is a shrine. Killer donuts especially if your lucky enough to get a warm one.I promise you they won't allake it to your destination. The yet in your mouth like cotton candy. The staff are very user friendly, always with smiles on their faces and this is at 5 am. So if you haven't been here I urge you to give them a go. You won't be disappointed.
Bryce Thorup
Hands down some of the best soft and crispy donuts I've ever had. Vehicle traffic is a serious problem here. Drive through traffic was backed up into the road, causing slow downs for the regular road traffic. We were able to find a parking spot and walk in to get it donuts pretty easily though. We even sat down inside to enjoy them. If they can figure out their vehicle traffic issue this would be 5 stars for sure. Maybe a second location? They certainly seem to have the demand.
Dan Anthony
I have started to not eat donuts from most other bakeries because I compare them to Banbury Cross.
Sad, really. I love donuts. That mixture of sugar glaze and fried dough? Fantastic. The cinnamon crumb is nearly life-changing (if it's not available in the afterlife, I'll know that I didn't make it to Heaven). I should say: I love amazing donuts.
There are other donuts to be had outside Banbury Cross: they are inevitably disappointing.
chelsea williams
This is hands down the best donut shop in SLC. FRESH Delicous donuts at a fair price. The cream cheese fruit filled danishes are my personal favorite but I also love their glazed donuts and even tho it sounds crazy their bran muffins. Our family has been going here for over 20 years. Above all I really love patronizing this business because The owners genuinely care about our community.
Suzanne Paylor
These are the best donuts in Salt Lake City. Of course they are best fresh in the mornings. My one complaint would be the long line of cars idling for a long time waiting for donuts in the drive through. I would recommend parking, turning your car off and going in to order - people... 🤦🏼♀️ It’s hard to watch especially when there is already a pollution advisory
Hector Tovar
The cinnamon donuts are the best! Everything is so good! There can be a line at times there’s also usually a race for donuts for charity check that out! Make sure you get in early once they are done with donuts they don’t make more! Get them early or preorder!
Devin Christensen
A great selection of donuts in a quaint little donut shop. They had lots of young employees helping customers. Even though they had a great selection of donuts, it seemed chaotic inside. They weren't overly busy, but they didn't have a lot of donuts on the shelf. They just told customers that they had donuts in the back and on a few carts that were brought in. Parking was scarce, but the store does have a drive thru, that was busy the entire time we were there.
michael brooks
Classic!
Super friendly fun folks here just sling'n old school donuts! I love a classic donut shop. They do a handful of really great recipes and do them well. Small shop, clean and cozy. Fast service and fresh good always ready to go at very good prices. They'll mix and match how ever you like. Just GO.
Carmin Beck
Delicious donuts! There are many options and I have yet to find one that I don't like. My favorite is the cinnamon donut, I think. The maple glazed one is a close second and the chocolate cake donut with coconut is right up there among my favorites too!
Christopher Williams
Not bad, not amazing. I've heard a lot of hype about these donuts but for me a donut is a donut. They weren't bad by any means I did quite enjoy them. Maybe my mind would be changed if I had gone in the morning when they were fresh
One Simura
My workplace colleagues bring donuts from here all the time, and I liked them, so I decided to go there. I bought a dozen donuts, and the menu said it was $9.98 or something for a dozen. Their clerk initially typed in $9.98 or something, and the machine said $1 something for tax. So, my total should've been around $11. But, after the machine displayed tax, the guy typed added $4.XX to my charge, making the total over $15. It was very crowded, and I didn't want to cause people to wait, so I paid and left. Then, I called them to ask about this surcharge. A guy answered the phone, and after I asked the question, no response. I could hear the background noise and people talking, so I know the call was still connected. I kept saying, "hello. are you still there? hello?" No answer, so I gave up. Their donuts are good compared to other joints, but I must say their customer service and the weird extra charge I received make them less than ideal.
Barnabus83
Some of the best donuts in SLC! Plus great service. This place is a landmark for a reason.

My coworker brought these donuts into this morning. I have never had a better donut in my life. The dough was perfect, slightly crunchy on the outside, perfectly soft middle. The appropriate amount of chocolate ganache topped off this wonderful twist. Great job Banbury Cross.
Ron
The donuts were amazing. They were a hit for staff at training. The Chocolate Bismark was tasty and delicious. The apple fritters were a trip down memory lane. They were just as good as Grandma's. Stop in if your in the area and get a donut that Homer would die for.
Angela Gray
High quality and delicious doughnuts. Always fun seasonal shaped donuts. Super fast and easy. They sell out fast because they're good so be sure to go early if you want all the options!
Denisse Haider
I like this donut shop and the proximity they are too my place. How ever the parking is a bit of a nightmare no matter time whatever time I go. The selection is great by far (when they have donuts usually they have cake ones and we don't care for those), my favorite is the twist donut!! It's so wickedly soft and so tasty,my son loves them. We do wish they had soft donut holes and not the cake like ones on hand. We have driven back when they didn't have the ones we like on hand. #🍩
Scott Haroldsen
Most delicious and largest donuts in the best non-donut squishing box ever!!!!
m j
My husband loves this place. I pretend not to love it, but I do. He loves the fritters, I like whatever has lemon. The truth is, all of the donuts are good. Great family business & they take pride.
Pete Peperakis
Best donuts in salt lake? I'm not sure.. best donuts at 7am on Sunday? No doubt!
Jilian Tester
Best place in Utah for fresh handmade donuts. Of you get there early enough they're still warm and just melt in your mouth. Cross out of your bucket list. Original glazed is what I recommend.
Bryan Uhri
This place has the best donuts in the state. Every time we visit Salt Lake City, we have to stop in and get some. They like to help out the community and my only complaint would be the parking lot. It could be a bit tricky comma but it's definitely worth the fan angling of your vehicle to get a taste of these delicious pastries.
Michael Badger
Hands down Salt Lake's best donut shop. Tucked away just outside of downtown, this shop is a not-so-secret gem. Portland has the famous Voodoo Donut shop and they got nothing on this place.
The old fashion doughnuts are dense and delectable. The standout for me though is the Cinnamon Crumb donut. Let's be honest, 🍩 = indulgence. Banbury Cross donuts are worth it.
Lilly Di
This are the most delicious donuts you ever have.
Kimberly Gutierrez
I drive from Davis County to get these donuts! There really just isn't anything like them! They are big and very delicious! I have never been treated with anything but respect by the workers there, They are just always so nice. Best donuts anywhere! I would love it if they had a second location in Davis county!
Victoria Alvarez
HONESTLY! Before these donuts, I was not a donut person. Now, I dream about these and have cravings all too frequently. I take every single person visiting from out of town here. They are never disappointed. Hands down. Unless its a Banbury donut, I won't eat it. The donuts are sweet enough but not like Krispy Kreme where you feel like you've been overloaded with sugar. The donuts are the perfect fluffy but crispy. Its like eating a fried cloud. The end.
Peter Hillyard
A good selection of the delicious fried treat. $10 per dozen is a great price for the quality. Most of the employees are friendly and most provide great customer service. You are free to stay and eat your donut at the small tables, or take them away to devour later.
Elvin Heiberg IV
Best donuts I have ever had! At times they are nice and warm, but always super fresh!!! YUM!
Leslee Rojas
How best to describe their donuts🍩:
delicious
Highly pleasing, especially to the sense of taste:
ambrosial, appetizing, delectable, heavenly, luscious, savory, scrumptious, tasteful, tasty, toothsome. (Slang) yummy.
If you have not been to Banbury Cross run as fast as you can. If you can't make it early in the day, and want a specific donut, you can call the night before to place an order. Warning highly addictive. 😍🤤🍩
Kyle Daley
Delicious donuts but they may run out of your favorite Bavarian cream filled or fruit filled options so the trip over may not be as worth it. I think the price of 1$ per donut is reasonable. The parking lot is small and the drive through can get crazy in the mornings. The service could be just a little more friendly.
Dan Clark
I love the donuts. They're the best in the valley. Kinda out of the way, wish they could be closer the the freeway so I could get them more often on my way to work. Definitely a must try if you're looking for a good donut in SLC
Lauren Accurso
Pretty good, we went towards the end of their day so maybe we didn’t have the best experience. The twist was great, warm and fresh!
Ted Dorff
Totally old school and delicious. I went there 3 times in one day. By mid morning most of the popular ones were gone, so I had an orange swirl muffin thing (that was awesome, but not a doughnut), an apple cinnamon sugar muffin and chocolate sprinkle hole. All were awesome. The staff was pretty un invested. When we went back in the afternoon for our third visit of the day, they didn’t know answers to questions about the place or history and didn’t care; just wanted to take the order and get us out before closing the inside. The drive through is old school.
James Macari
The good: their yeast doughnuts are great. Huge variety to choose from. By far the best in state.
The bad: they can't keep up with demand, they typically run out of yeast doughnuts by 10am. Then they just don't make any more and continue to stay open until, 5 I think? They've long since grown out of their kitchen. Poor business practice. Blatantly ignoring potential sales growth.
Ashley Leete
Best fresh donuts in the city! At least one a week my daughter has started asking when we can go to the donut house. I love the chocolate cake donut with chocolate topping and sprinkles, the double blueberry donuts are amazing as well.
Sarah-Elizabeth Walker
We've recently discovered this cute doughnut shop. Allegedly, Michael Jordan loves this place too. The doughnuts are pretty good and come in all the classic flavors. I think it costs around $10 for a dozen which is a pretty good price. I recently ordered 12 dozen for an activity we were helping with and they had my order ready to go and perfect.
Corey Harville
Great donuts! Get there early, as all the good ones go fast - cinnamon, fritters, butterflies, roses!! The cinnamon is my absolute favorite but they are almost always gone by the time I get there! Go early and go often!!
Michael Evans
Some of the best donuts in SLC. Drive-thru can be long at times but just find a spot to park on the side street and go inside as its usually faster. Plus you can see the actual large assortment of donuts.
Andrew G.
By far the best donuts that I've found so far in the valley. Always tastes really fresh (because it is) and pricing on everything is excellent. The service I've had every time has been fantastic, and I try to go here at least once a week. I recommend their maple bars and donuts!
Jenny Brown
These are the best donuts in the valley. Coffee is pretty good too! My only complaint would be the long wait times for the drive thru (be prepared to wait longer than 10 minutes in the morning)and the tight parking lot.
L Fikstad
One of the best!
Wish I knew what kind of oil they fry in. I know, it's odd to be eating a sugar laden donut and wonder about the health of the oil used. Probably best to assume the worst, some cheap vegetable oil that's unfortunately not canola oil and definitely not palm oil.
Robert B
Banbury Cross Donuts, a long held FAVORITE variety DONUT fix. High quailty & some good variety though sales out by noon it seems. ONLY 1 LOCATION - ?
Sean Brant
Quick Service, and everybody that was working there was awesome. I have had these donuts a few times before, they have always been awesome. The only negative thing I can say is that the parking lot is not always the easiest to navigate, but that really has nothing to do with the business itself.
Karen Roberts
Miss this place best doughnuts ever! They donate to primary children's hospital and if your kid is there better order the night before! I have tried to find a doughnut like theirs in our travels and hasn’t happened even with cowboy doughnuts which was on DDD with Guy Feri not even close to these doughnuts! If you haven’t tried and you love doughnuts like me you will not be disappointed they are one of a kind for sure!
Leslie Trujillo
My company received 2 dozens of donuts today as a Thank you from another company and let me tell you. I already have a top secret location for thee best donuts in West Valley but this is place just won my 2nd favorite donuts place!! They were so fresh and soft and even still warm. I had 4 in total today lol they were just that good!
Caitlyn Tubbs
These donuts are absolutely incredible. Being so close to the University they make one of the best breakfasts in Salt Lake. The glazed twists and cinnamon donuts are to die for! The only downside is the unfriendliness of the teenaged staff. There is a night shift who are absolutely awesome to talk to, but the morning staff could use some work on the customer service side.
Cat Jay
It's a good donut, a solid cake donut if you're craving one, but it's not GREAT. The prices are reasonable, but make sure to get there early if you want a better selection.
McCabe Fisher
Matthew Stevens helped me be the best by giving me bulking donuts.
Mark McCormack
This is a great donut place and they were completely sold out when I first walked in. I waited maybe 10 minutes and then the workers filled me 2 dozen for my office. I ate 2-3 on the way to the office and they were really good. A lot of that had to do with they were warm and gooey (the way a donut should be). Great place to grab some donuts.
Rose R
The location is quiet and frank. Inside has an awesome welcoming feeling. Donuts, I had a twist, and I've had better. The cake donut with chocolate seemed very sweet.
Staff are super nice and professional!
Mariah Bivens
Okay, so I dropped my box of donuts while trying to put them in my car right as one of the associates was coming out the back door. He came running over and insisted they replace the donuts! As I was trying to say no, he picked up my box and took them inside and had them replaced. Aside from providing amazing donuts, Branbury Cross Donuts provides a team of amazing, kind people that offer excellent customer service :)
Sharon Lloyd
Went today around 9, the day before Halloween, my 2.5 year LOVES your donuts and requested we do so. Any way, when we got there all you had was cake and sprinkles, which he always gets, I never tried (been going for YEARS) but did today and I must say AMAZING! So glad you were out of every thing else It my new favorite! But let's be honest now I'll just get two instead of one.
Leslie Nakaya
Favorite donut for my family and staff is the blueberry cake, however, you can never get any! I have come at all hours of the day, and they are sold out by 9 AM very often. If this particular variety is so popular, why don’t they make more? The last time I came they told me they had one and substituted a strawberry cake donut instead.
Betty Burton
All the donuts here are amazing but their blueberry donuts really set them apart. Best donuts in the city, no one can convince me otherwise!
Melissa Alvarado
The staff is so friendly and can talk to each product so well! They were so patient whole I asked about the different donuts and picked my half dozen. I recommend trying a variety to find your favorite!
Mike Thomas
I always loved this place when I lived in Logan and I'd always get a few when I'd drive down. Now I live two blocks away and go there almost every morning. The best thing they have is the cinnamon bear claw and I don't even like cinnamon. There are two other donut shops in salt lake that I love but Banbury Cross is best.
Lindsey Sovine
My husband and I LOVE this place! Friendly, efficient, organized, and fast customer service. Any time my husband has to take something into work, this is where he goes. I myself love maple doughnuts, and this place has the best PERIOD. The shop is quaint and really a delight. Thank you for being amazing, Branbury!
Lyle Measom
THESE DONUTS ARE AMAZING! I read about them being the best donuts in Utah and they are. I have tried tons of donut places and these are the ones that I keep craving. We LOVE the old fashioned donuts! We tried the maple and the blueberry and holy yum. I have been dying to try the cinnamon but since we drive up from Springville they always run out of them, so get there early! Or convince them a Banbury Cross needs to go up in the Provo area! I will singlehandedly keep them in business. -Lyles Wife (but he agrees!)
Justine Chester
This is my husband's favorite donut shop in Utah. They are anyways so friendly and the donuts are always fresh. Yesterday we were on our way home and he wanted to stop and get a treat. We pulled up to the window and realized they were closed but they helped him anyway. They Rock!
John Kirkham
I took my little boys here the other day, wanting to see if it still as good as I remember and wanting to see what they thought of it. In full disclosure, my boys are donut experts, having sampled various types throughout the West. They unanimously gave this place, and the glazed donuts in particular, two very sticky thumbs up. I, on the other hand prefer the chocolate cake donuts, which are my favorite in the Salt Lake valley. Like my boys, I give the chocolate cake donuts two thumbs up.
Rachel Q
Once, I was craving donuts big time, and we rolled up to the drive through. They had actually just barely closed, but they still sold us a few donuts and even gave us some for free. I am a loyal customer for life. Thank you!!!
Christian Merrill
I love the donuts, but I'm utterly confused on when to order or attempt to get any. If I show up at 8:00am, most donut varieties are gone, businesses are picking up boxes and boxes. If I show up at lunch, most donuts in general are gone. If I show up an hour or two before they close, there is usually only a few types left.
Evidently, I need to be ordering days in advance. Not great if you just happen to be in the mood for one of their tasty donuts.
Mary Catherine Perry
I love Banbury Cross Donuts. They make delicious donuts and they give back to the community as well. Recently they helped me out by donating donuts to a student event at East High School. The students were thrilled to find out the donuts were from Banbury Cross. Everyone knows they're the best around. Thank you!
jupiter pheonix
Warning: these donuts are addictive. I don't eat other donuts, but still have to get myself a hit of Banbury on the regular . . . and the staff is even sweeter than the donuts, seriously they are lovely.
Nicki N
Not exaggerating, these are the best doughnuts I have ever had, anywhere (move over Portland, Cali, Denver, London, to name a few). It has gotten to the point now where if they aren't Banbury, they aren't worth it to me. Yum.
Grant Anderson
The best doughnuts I've ever had. I go every time I come home from college! My wife loves the raised cinnamon and I love the maple bars and glazed twists! The price is great too! I try different doughnuts every time I go and they are all delicious even the cake doughnuts are spectacular, which I normally abhor.
Julie Sandoval
If you're going to have a donut, you may as well have the best Utah has to offer. You can see them making the donuts when you are selecting yours. They are the best texture and flavor. I choose none other.
Elizabeth Solley
Amazing donuts! I am not really a donut person, but this place has changed my mind! Sweet dough that is soft and cooked to perfection. You must stop here!
Bob Childers
The counter guy is the best. Best time to go? Early in the morning. So fresh. But somehow, if you happen to have any left, these donuts are still good in the afternoon. For a second go around
jean
Loving Banbury for 30 years. The best glazed donuts ever, for real. Great service with friendly helpful people, eat in or drive thru. The filled donut holes are heaven. What's not to love?
Rob Johnson
STILL the best donuts in ALL the valley!
Have Some Common Spence
The donuts here are the best donuts I've ever had. I've had alot of donuts from different places throughout my life, and none can beat here. They have the best Maple I've ever had and the Blueberry is out of this world
Richard Bangerter
These donuts are so good!! I took a dozen to my wonderful dentist and his staff. They loved them and hated me at the same time. Then I got half a dozen for me and my son. Yummy
Joe Treviño
Best donuts to make the office happy!
KP Brown
The donuts here are great. The only two problems we have are: we live to far away and sometimes when we travel up we get there late enough that there is a slim selection because they are sold out. Of course if they had a Utah county location I may be there too often.
terri benavides
Wow! Stopped in here on our visit to SLC. Yummy donuts are hard to find in Vegas. My family prefers independent donut shops over the blah run of the mill, no love put into them chain store type donuts. These were so good and tasty, I want more already.
Lorin Warner
The earlier you get there the more likely you are to get your hands on one of the tastier options like the blueberry cake donut or the cinnamon cake donut. I really wish they made more of those on a daily basis.
This place is a Salt Lake institution and I know several people who make this an obligatory stop whenever they come to town. Lines out the door on Saturday mornings because it is so popular. I'm glad the owner has made it a point to keep this to one location, makes it have that much more of a mystique!
L. Carvel Wilson
If you like great donuts, that will leave you dreaming of your return visit, then these donuts are for you. Their cinnamon donuts are amazing and I have never had a bad donut here.
Sam Nance
Love these, but the last two times I was disappointed,
I called ahead on Sunday asked how late they were open,
She said 1P so about 10:30 we arrived, the only donuts left were cake and a couple cinnamon twist,
The there were quite a few people there and about ten minutes later the lady behind the counter asked if she could help
We scavenged what we could.
I really would have appreciated if the lady would have told me hey were open but all sold out before I drove in just to get stupid donuts
Mike C
Their maple bars are great, and the cinnamon crumb are unique.
kevin brown
Best donuts in utah no doubt in my mind!!!
Amee Miner
I just have to say how impressed I was with this establishment! My husband and I had just taken my son to Primary Children's hospital and a good friend of mine had suggested we take our son, who loves donuts, to Banbury Cross. So for a pick me up, we headed there right after our appointment. As my husband went to pay, we had some problems with our credit card, which never happens but a gentleman that worked there came up and said for us just to take the donuts and come back and pay the IOU later. It was the kindest gesture and I didn't even get his name! Little did he know that we were trying to lift my sons spirits after a heart breaking diagnosis! To top it all off, the donuts were amazing!!!! Thank you for your kindness and for not just making my sons day but mine as well!!
Michael Elifritz
I like your donuts. I would eat them every day if it weren't for the health concerns. Anyway, positive feedback is great but occasional negative/neutral feedback gives you more actionable information.
So my criticism is about the giant cinnamon donuts. We get a couple dozen BB+ donuts every Friday and the giant wagon wheel sized cinnamon donut is always the last one to go. Often time it goes uneaten. I have tried to eat it and it creates a terrible mess. Its too large to get in my mouth without having cinnamon crumbles go everywhere. I had to stand over a trash can while I ate it.
Perhaps other people like it and would revolt if it were excluded from the standard mixed dozen. But I say take it out unless specifically requested. Are you sure people like it?
Thanks,
Mike
Ben Sunderland
Simply the best donut I ever had in my life, I have only ever written two reviews, so for this place to impact me enough to write one says it all. Everything from sweetness, doneness, and price make this the only place I will get donuts.
Other thoughts: I wish the coffee selection was bigger, but for a drip pot of coffee I was darned impressed.
Logan Flynn
5 stars. Best donuts around. Cheap price too
A. Gibbon
Oh the donuts here!! Fresh Banbury donuts are just the most amazing things in the world! And even when they aren't as fresh....still amazing! When someone says, shall we go to Banbury....we just about shove each other out of the way to get there! So good!!
Robert Lake
After seeing this place on Instagram it was on my radar I had placed it on Google maps as a want to go location. Was driving around on the weekend trying to find a place to feed the family while also needing to be timely I’m getting to where we were trying to go in so I was nearby. My wife and I decided that if this place is that good we would ignore our keto stance for a meal and try some fritters. The whole family was very happy with what we got here and will gladly go back the next time we are in the area without a reservation for breakfast.
Andrew Miller
The BEST donuts in Utah, by far! Maple bars are outstanding and the Double Blueberry is awesome. Buy some for your team and they will love you forever.
Ivana Holiday
Amazing tasting donuts. It was my first time here and I asked the employee to choose your best tasting donuts. I was not disappointed in his selection, all four donuts were delicious.
Molly Kohrman
Love these donuts! Great price, great assortment - personal faves are apple fritters and sprinkled cake donuts. There's always a line here but it gives pretty quickly and the staff are friendly.
Lexi Webb
I really enjoy the donuts, great quality and great price! However the staff isn’t great, it was after opening and I was outside with another customer while one lady looked at us but continued to work behind the counter as we waited a few min for someone else to come out. After I had ordered and paid the employee handed me a receipt, just looked at me, and walked away without giving me my change or saying anything.
Camille Smith
Best donuts around. They are usually busy but they are fast. Large variety and all delicious. You can eat there or take them to go. They also have a drive thru if you don't want to get out of your car.
Joseph Ochocki
Some of the best donuts and other sweet treats around. I can't say enough good things about Banbury Cross. I always leave feeling warm and happy.
Jordan Welch
egh. Can that be a review? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and honestly not a huge fan of their donuts but to be fair the only donuts are like are Krispie Kream soo.. But i'm going to give them 4/5 because staff is amazing and honestly they do make a pretty good donut just not my type.
Jack Lennon
I love doughnuts and Banbury Cross Donuts are as good or better than any I have ever had. And the gals at the counter are kind, courteous and smiling.
What more could a guy ask for.
You make my day.
Sohil Khoja
Love their glazed donuts. Will definitely visit again the next time we are in Salt Lake City.
D Buck
Fresh daily, these light and delicious donuts are the best I have ever had. The raised donuts are warm in the mornings, cake donuts in the afternoons. Fast service and decent price.
Ivan Donkey (HoofnDonkey)
There are plenty of doughnut shops to choose from in the downtown area but Banbury has really figured out how to bring flavor, flare and even brilliance to their donuts. I grew up in NY where the morning doughnut with coffee rains supreme, well this place outshines even the posh donuts from the "Big Apple". I have actually stood in line with friends at the drive thru window just to order and I have never been turned away. Their business model and employees are so friendly and wiling to satisfy that they have even put together a unique doughnut that I enjoyed back east but was not able to find out west here. If you happen to be downtown and nearby go have a taste and see for yourself.
Caroline Coats
I consider myself a donut connoisseur and Banbury is my favorite donut shop I have ever been to. Even in big cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, I haven't found anything that compares to an old fashioned blueberry or a maple bar from Banbury. I miss you Banbury and I keep begging my mom to mail me a box while I'm at college.
Derek Damien Darcy
Long lines which moved very quickly. Even had boxes of asstd dozen prepped and ready. Very small parking lot so be prepared.donuts are cooked fresh through out the day. You can choose which donuts you would like or choose a random assortment.
Julie Beckmann Veltman
These cinnamon doughnuts are the absolute best! More spice than sugar, with great texture.
Wendy Dalzin
Went in this morning to pick up donuts for my husband and people at work. I was very impressed with the manager! He was singing.I could tell he LOVES his JOB. I will go back for more donuts!
Jimi Lee
First of all, the only reason this isn't 5 stars, is because of the customer service/lack of personality in the place. Their donuts are absolutely amazing...best in Salt Lake City. They're all good, but my favorites are the vanilla cake, the chocolate raised and ny whole family love love love the jelly donut holes. But, again mist of the people who work there (high school kids) suck at their job. Smile kids, its free. Although there is one girl there who is awesome and is the one who told me about the jelly holes. She's always nice, and a pleasure to talk to. Not sure her name.
John
Really the best donuts I have tried, we got 2 dozens for a family party they loved them the kids were enjoying them so much they weren’t even listening to me haha! really one of those hidden gems although I don’t thinks it’s that much of a “hidden gem”
Sean Yin
It's like taking a bite out of a Krispy Kreme donuts except instead of air you're getting dough. These donuts are huge, but still light and airy and melts in my mouth. I'd have diabetes right now if I came daily. It's a good thing I live too far to want to commute here more than once a month.
lori james
It would be a crime to get donuts anywhere else in Salt Lake. This place has everything your favorite donut place requires: simple storefront, early morning hours, those nostalgic cardboard boxes, even a drive-through. Fast, friendly service. Forget all those fancy flavors that have popped up to try to trendify something that's already a good thing - these are classic, simple, fresh, sugary donuts.
But lest you think they are boring or limited - they have tons of flavors so you can get whatever classic you used to secretly pick up with your favorite grandparent or aunt or uncle who promised they wouldn't tell your parents. Maple bars, rosettes, bismarks, Bavarian cream, cinnamon crumb, old-fashioned glazed. Blueberry is one of their secret fan favorites and always sells out early.
Hannah Blamires
Need to arrive early in the morning for the good donuts but worth it!
Stephanie Johnson
You haven't had a donut until you've had Banbury Cross. My dad used to take me to Banbury when I was a little girl to get raspberry fitters. And my husband won't eat any other donut. It HAS to be a chocolate cake donut with sprinkles from Banbury Cross. Anything else doesn't compare. We love Banbury!
Maddy Upchurch
I wanted to try this place because of the reviews but the donuts didn’t really taste any more unique than normal donuts. I do have to say the buttermilk was the best one!
Jeff Troxell
Easily one of, if not the best apple fritters I've ever had. Prices are fair for handmade donuts. Have drive thru sevice which is pretty cool. Deduct one star for confusing entrance (enter from side not the front) and small dining room. Would easily go back again!
Christopher Carroll
On behalf of my wife and her friends - I'm not a huge donut person - this place has extremely tasty donuts. It can get pretty packed in the morning, but the staff is very quick and get the line moving pretty quickly. There's also a drive-thru.

Tried an apple fritter and a cinnamon roll. They were both okay, but not great. Apple fritter lacked enough apple, and the cinnamon roll tasted like it had a bit of citrus in it, which as a personal preference for me is not enjoyable.
I wish I'd read the reviews in advance and tried the glazed. Will be back to give it another shot.

This is my favorite donut shop in Salt lake. I have been going to this donut shop since i was a kid. Go early when they are fresh and you will easily fall in love and get fat but it's worth it. Super awesome staff and amazing donuts.

So fantastic! Lots to choose from and fresh! We ate so many! 😋 staff was great and we will be back …
Adam Blair
I love every donut that I've ever had from here. Their cake and yeasted donuts are exceptional.
Brittany Coats
Always crowded, but always worth it. It's a bit faster to park and go inside rather than use the drive thru. You can park on the street for n easier get away. Best donuts in town.

Pretty good donuts, pretty cheap. The cinnamon is a little heavy on the cinnamon, and the chocolate glaze is alarmingly black. Like, tar black. Still tastes good. I’m still a Krispy Kream guy at heart

Really fantastic donuts, especially when they're fresh early in the morning. Good coffee too!
Chris Roberts
Best donuts in the Salt Lake Valley. Takes a lot of self control to drive by and not stop in for a fritter!!

They are soo good!! They make the best U donuts out there. Their glaze is so good!They are a staple in Utah!
John Acquisto
Banbury Cross has great donuts and Utah is not known for donuts. People go to the grocery store for donuts. You got to try the cinnamon crumb donut and expect to get lots of cinnamon crumbs on you but definitely worth it!

When you want donuts in Salt Lake City there is literally only one place to go. This place is so awesome and the staff is incredible.
David Short
Some of the most awesomest doughnuts in the whole valley. I don't think I found a donut shop that makes them better than Banbury Cross Donuts. I would suggest that if you're in the area of 700 East and about 700 South that you stop and get some Banbury Cross Donuts. They are the bee's Kane's..

Big doughy Dounuts. Delicious and in many varieties and reasonably priced. This is not a boutique dounut shop like some of the other places around so I wouldn't say they are especially gourmet, but they are certainly a few steps above Dunkin'.
Amanda Simon
The best donuts in the SLC region! Always fresh. Try the old fashioned blueberry and strawberry cake donuts, you won’t be sorry

The donuts are always good, but everytime I come in here there is a short woman who I assume is the manager and she is always telling off one of the guys in the front right in front of customers. Today it was because someone didn't go get something out of the shed and she had to do it herself. This is extremely unprofessional and it was very awkward to stand there and listen to her scold the guy who was trying to ring my donuts up on the register. It took way longer than it needed to and my family had to stand and listen to her repeat herself over and over. The girl behind her was even making an awkward face about it when she made eye contact with me. Someone needs management training.

Always great, some of the best donuts around. Classic, fresh, lovely donuts. The last time I went, my sugar donut was still warm. Awesome!

Best Donuts in town but be careful make sure to bee the early bird cause they sell out fast!

The cinnamon donut is decadent! I had a boss who would bring these in often. I did not get these often at all, but I love these when I get them. I hope to go there more because they are so good. If you get the chance to stop by and get these, please do!

During a girls weekend we went looking for something to crash our diets. We were not disappointed. Melt in your mouth maple bars. I brought some home to my husband and he has fallen in love. We'll be coming back whenever we're in salt lake city. The price is the same if not cheaper than your everyday grocery store. 0.99 for a single donut and a little over $9.00 for a dozen. I'm going to be dreaming about these till next time.
Leland Lambert
Their donuts are always amazing! I would recommend going there anytime your in salt lake. I first went there a couple years ago because I'd heard reviews that they were the best in the area, and those reviews were true.
Dr. Stud
The doughnuts were unbelievable. Delicious flavors. VERY busy store. Customer service was a little lacking but worth traversing for those doughnuts.
Matthew Buccilli
You want doughnuts? They got em. Blueberry, maple, chocolate, sprinkles. I bought a dozen and then ate doughnuts for breakfast and lunch for like 3 days because everyone else in the office was "on a diet" or "gluten intolerant". Donuts, great treats, as long as the treatees are chunky like myself.
Ben Vayo
Some of the best donuts in the valley. The service has always been great and the prices are very reasonable. Being able to call in orders ahead and drive-thru to pick them up is incredibly convenient.
G. GIBBS
We really need to get more good donut places like this and get rid of nasty ones like Daylight donuts. Seriously, how does that place stay in business... This place is great though! Always fresh. Big donuts!

Best donuts in Salt Lake city
Sarah Roberts
These are hands down the best donuts I have ever had and will ever have. They have a simple selection but the dough is so soft and just amazing.
J Makoto Smith
Best donuts for miles. Cheap but delicious. I can name many places in the local vicinity that order these specific donuts, both for price and taste; these were the donuts I, and other locals, grew up on.
Rachel Taylor
Best donut place in Utah that I've found! I always make a point to stop in and get my donuts when I'm in the area and haven't been disappointed yet!
Tamekia Bolden
Best donuts I've ever had in my life, I wish I could order these and have them when I get back home
Yolanda “Yoyo” O.
I went in around 2 and every doughnut was pretty much gone, not even doughnut holes remained. Disappointing really, if you know your customers cone in all hours of the day rhen y9u should be better prepared.
