This is the best donut shop ever! I grew up eating these donuts and they are as good today as they were back then! Thanks Fails ?

We've been coming here for donuts for many years and they never disappoint. Today we went to celebrate and they didn't have jam filled left around 4 pm so they filled one for me! My favorite are their cinnamon twists but my son had a fancy strawberry and cream filled one and it looked delicious. The donuts still tasted great at end of the day. Always super friendly.

The ambiance within the walls holding this place up, is calming and I enjoyed that. I live with ADHD amongst a few other mental-health conditions so I switched to a low-carb sugar-free eating plan way back in 2001 I believe it was. Recently I began to crave sugar which isn't my usual motive operandi so I went with it and discovered two individual donut storefront's some distance apart from each other. Today, it's Fails Donut Factory. I uploaded, for your viewing pleasure, greater than 25 photos "today" if my count is accurate. Thus far, I've dined on the bear-claw, filled generously with the most delicious Apple Compote; the amount of Cinnamon is perfect; not too much; not too little. So far it's my favorite donut from them. I should mention though, this is my first time shopping here. I've taken the guess-work out of the ~Cost~ by snapping some real-time photos of their out-in-the open and hanging behind the counter, pricing sheets for items for sale. Another favorite I dined on today is their Croissant glazed donut. It was out of this world!!! No exaggeration; truly. The helpful nicely dressed & clean looking in appearance woman behind the counter told me she was putting one of these beauties in with my order so I could try them. Wondering if I'm not the only Consumer looking puzzled when trying to wrap my mind around a croissant (butter, salty goodness) donut (sweet). It was beyond satisfying. No need for improvement either, on any of the donuts I purchased like their full of apples; Apple Fritter. Again a winner!!! No need to describe just crispy chewy crunchy edges and outter layer sweet as are the diced apples inside of this creation. Can't tell if it's fresh apple or canned but it tastes like "fresh". If you have a look, at the just taken today photos I uploaded here on Yelp's business listing, I think you may find some of your questions to yourself, answered. That's my hope & intention. HOURS: I Verified the hours of operation with the woman and she agreed; up to date and working 7 days per week. There's a photo I took listing the hours of operation. They are clearly posted on the front entrance. Great! I also noted a "YELP"!!! (So awesome to see their participation!) Sticker on the front glass of their front door opening and snapped a picture of it. Not sure what happened to it but it appears to be in need of retirement; very soon, and replaced with fresh, in-new-condition "Supportive material from Yelp to the willing public consumer." It looks cracked & crackled maybe from years of wear or cleaning the glass; its just tired now, its done its duty & we need to get you some replacements. What I can do, is Reach-Out to my Community Yelp! Manager, Rachel I believe her name is, and inform her of the "need". If Yelp! agrees I may be able to assist this classy storefront, in installing the new Yelp! product(s) for consumer-awareness which is another way of saying "Complimentary Advertising by Yelp!". I'll ask Rachel if I'm in the right lane or not either way I'll keep this review up-to-date. I think that about wraps up this supportive review of this consumer-orientated business. I say supportive as, this shop just displaying our "Yelp" banner-like Sticker and the sticker needing to be freshened up; speaks VOLUMES of this businesses desire to THRIVE and make a positive+ impact in this world. Thank you, ~ Jana Leigh Thomas, Sr. Yelper :)

Very pleased with my custom order! The donuts were fresh and super cute. $3.75 per letter as of January 2024.

Amazing donuts and really cool styles. I love the Pikachu one. It is really Oakley and it's really fun and it is really cool. It is the best thing in the world. I love going on Saturdays because it's the only day I love except I love soccer too.

I remember the first time I tried Fails in 2017. I did not like the frosting on their donuts because it was a thick, hardened mess, and unappetizing. Now, I guess the recipe changed and the frosting and donuts are absolutely delicious! Whenever I visit, they always have an abundant selection and everything in the display case is beautifully arranged. I also appreciate how they don't run out early and make enough donuts and pastries that are available even after 11am EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. Thank you, Fails!! You never disappoint.

Delicious donuts. I was able to pick up some really great character specialty donuts for my kids.

Caleb Lyftogt

Great place to grab donuts....and they have a few different specialty ones the kids really enjoy. They've had Spiderman themed and several others like it. Today they had an oreo one, mini m&ms and 2 others.
