I’m so in love with this donut shop. The vibes and atmosphere was amazing. I loved the donuts and the service were amazing! The lady was so sweet. The entire concept is amazing. They have good seating and it’s such a great place to study, date, and hang out with friends. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to support a local shop and have a great time.I order a match latte and rose latte loved both. :)

My wife and I tried this place for the first time, and we absolutely love it.First off the location is great. Nice and safe, and a free parking lot.The donuts were affordable and very tasty.Soft, and lasts a day or two extra and still tastes great.The guy working that day was friendly and nice and gave us free apple fritters for being first time customers.We thought that was so nice, and we will definitely be back.We are new to the area, and scouting out great donut places.Surprised this rating isnt higher.Those high rated places beware, because some of the places have dry, unimpressive donuts, and high prices, and not very nice to customers.My wife is obsessed with Maple Donut Bars she enjoyed hers so much.I am more classic Glaze fan and had aBlueberry Jelly Glazed Donut.Both were very good, and we both enjoyed the apple fritter so good.I recommend this donut spot indeed. :)

Staff at this location is by far the best hands down!! Donuts from here and inexpensive but taste very high quality.

Donuts were good, somewhat expensive so not sure worth it in the end. Everyone has different tastes though.

My kids love Sesame Donuts, but we have skipped them many times over the years because of the $5 minimum to use a credit/debit card.Most people do not carry cash, so if you only want to buy one or two donuts you can’t at Sesame. Fortunately more donut shops are opening in the area and don’t impose this silly restriction.

We have loved this place for years. But the donuts we got this morning were bad. The apple fritter had no apple, it was hard and tasted old. It had too much glaze and was like orange on the inside. The bars were sticky like they were under cooked. I hope the owners see this and can bring the standards back up.

Delicious! They have some amazing specialty donuts (cheesecake filled, apple cider cake donut). Staff is fast and friendly.

The French crueller was the most delicious donut Ive had there so far. Loved the maple bar too.

Huge selection of donuts and they taste like most other donut places. We’ve been a few times and the staff is just not very friendly. Maybe it’s just my experience taking small children that take 15 seconds to decide what they want but it seems to be a bother that I don’t just come and complete my transaction immediately.

Sitting in front of store waiting for it to open at 5 am. Its now 5:05 and a woman comes strolling along like a Sunday afternoon.. Im a bit confused as to the quality of their donuts.. I thought the donuts are fresh as in made today. It appears that is not the case here. There are no early workers preparing donuts for the Customer.. I will go in and see if the donuts are today fresh..So the answer is No! They do not have any fresh donuts made today... Then why they charge an over priced fee for day old donuts?Im going to Tigard donuts on 99 and get me some fresh hot donuts.. dont waste your money here... Follow me to Tigard donuts and get a fresh donut not a day old wanna be!!

They Keep getting my coffee order wrong. Simple black iced coffee. Multiple times I was given with cream. This last time I ordered 2 and only was delivered 1. Total waste of money. The Sesame Donuts in Sherwood is always perfect. I dont know why I keep giving this one chances. Two black iced coffees is not a difficult order. This kind of oversight this often is ridiculous.

Not sure why people like this place. The staff is usually rude and seems disinterested like Im wasting their time and theres nothing special about their donuts. Also, this might be obvious but dont buy ice cream here as its not fresh at all.

The girl was there and the busy. I watched listen and ring up just as fast. I may have had to wait but I understood it was busy. Finally my turn i told har my order she had it together with a blink of an I. I told her she was good. She said her 3rd day on the job. I said this place should be very grateful for having you. She said thankyou and we said bye. Just as good as the doughnuts. Excellent service.

This place is hands down better than any other donut place around. Krispy Kream, Blue Star and Voodoo Donuts all pale in comparison. Friendly staff, great food and awesome prices. Try this place out and they also have rotating seasonal items.

I went later in the afternoon, so the selection was not varied, but the donuts were delicious. Been here before, so go early for more variety.

Review №37

The staff was friendly and the service was quick, but the donuts were some of the worst Ive ever had. The maple frosting fell off the maple bar, most of the donuts felt like they hadnt had enough time to to rise/had been over proved. Drove 20 minutes to get there, wont do that again.

Great Service and the best fritters and buttermilk bars in town (the Oregonian said so too).

Br
Review №39

Staff is nice and friendly. Always good donuts. This store is a bit larger than the one over by Joann Fabric, I assume sometimes the selection is low depending on the time of day but this store does seem to have room for more stock so if you NEED a specific donut you might have to check other locations. Kid-friendly with windows to see them making/frosting things.

I go here and tip well because if you read the rest of these reviews, you will see a whole bunch of hints at racism. The donuts have never been bad for me (I went in on Christmas Eve once and they had a huge selection and everything was fresh) and the staff has always been kind, though a little standoffish, but reading the reviews, that doesn’t surprise me. The Boston cream is good and my mom loves the apple fritters.

I love sesame doughnuts and always have and always will. I was served by I believe her name was Megan, and I think I will no longer be going to this location. I am overall unhappy with the service provided and I am a little bummed that I requested a larger box for my dozen doughnuts and she shoved them all into a small box. The gentleman who was working has worked with me many times and has been wonderful everytime.

If you are open 5am to 8:40pm then list that as your hours of operation. I show up at 8:45 assuming they are open to 9pm like their site says and they are closed already. They just lost my business and I hope they lose yours too. Krispy Kreme wouldnt close at 8:40 when they are supposed to be open until 9, neither would Voodoo. Thanks for wasting my time. I would give you zero stars if I could.

First visit to Sesame Donuts. They have a good selection of donuts. However, no added value over supermarket donuts. Several donuts seemed a little dry and lacking flavor. A good donut place but definitely better choices out there.

I ordered 5 dozen donuts and 180 donut holes and needed to pick them up at 8:00 in the morning. It was right in the middle of their rush, and when i walked in they were ready for me. I had my daughter with me and the cashier helped me walk the donuts to my car so i could carry my 18 month old. Great Customer service. Ive loved this donut shop for years and will continue to give them my business because of how well they treat everyone!

BEST donuts, no matter what time of day you come! This is a family-owned local small business that is well-worth its weight in gold. This is a family favorite! If you ever want a midnight treat, just stop by and order whatever just popped out of the kitchen. Pure heaven!!

Marginal donuts at best. They were beautiful and had a nice assortment to choose from, but the flavor was lacking. Their coffee was good, so I was pleasantly surprised, but they were almost out of lids. Not a huge deal, just something I noticed. They also had milk for sale, which is nice when you eat donuts. But their water dispenser was empty and we had trouble getting anything out of it, but no one seemed to notice or care. They did see us trying but didnt help us, nor did they fill it.

If I could give it more stars I would. This is the best donut place in town. Fluffy pastries and delectable desserts, Im always trying to find an excuse to come here. Love their donut holes and their scones that they sometimes have. Just great vibes in general and good treats. Wish I could get free donuts more often! 😁

We didnt expect this place to have ice cream but it does. And tasty donuts of course. And couple breakfast options which I believe are served all day. I suggest stopping by to check it out if your looking to satisfy your sweet tooth.They have a wide variety of Tillamook ice cream. They have another Oregon brand but I cant remember the name right now. Its a little more expensive than say dairy queen but its the real deal. No fancy toppings like the yogurt places but this stuff has it inside the tasty ice cream.
