Welcome to the delightful world of Friendly Donut House, located at 856 S Boulder Hwy, Henderson, NV 89015. This charming establishment has earned its stripes as a treasured local gem, renowned for serving up some of the best donuts in not only Henderson but perhaps all of Southern Nevada.
As a food reviewer at Foodjoyy, I had the pleasure of experiencing the magic that happens behind the counter at Friendly Donut House. From the moment you step in, the warm aroma of freshly crafted donuts envelops you, promising a unique taste adventure. Customers rave about the light and fluffy original glazed donuts and the perfectly crispy apple fritters, both of which are not overly sweet yet bursting with flavor. The reviews from loyal patrons speak volumes, as families make it a tradition to visit every Saturday morning, relishing in the delicious offerings and quality service.
One standout feature of Friendly Donut House is the variety of options available. From nostalgic cake donuts to classic butter crumbs, there's something for everyone. Take note, however, that this beloved donut shop is cash-only, a small quirk that adds character to the establishment. Many customers appreciate the generosity of the owner, who shows trust by allowing patrons to return and pay later if they forget their cash.

As I sat down with a cup of coffee alongside some donut holes and that famous apple fritter — which was, I must say, heavenly — I understood why people rave about this place. The donuts were fresh, and each bite was a step back into a simpler, delightful time. If you find yourself in Henderson or nearby, make sure to treat yourself to the blissful experience that is Friendly Donut House.

“ Hands down the best donuts in Henderson--maybe all of Southern Nevada. We go every Saturday morning without fail. The chocolate bars and apple fritters are our go-to. My husband and I have been bringing our kids here for years. Just a solid, local spot we love. ”
“ I had no idea that there was an amazing donut place close to my house! Be warned it is cash only -I had to pay in coins :))) These donuts were the bomb ! I got two cake donuts -one glazed and one chocolate and one butter crumb. I'm not sure what the name of it was, but that was the best. They are on the sugary side, but aren't donuts supposed to be ? 'I'll be back!' ”
“ My husband and I don't even have that big of a sweet tooth, but we both agree these are the best donuts...ever. Anywhere! I will travel across the valley, outside of my 10 minute bubble to obtain these delicious little fried pieces of dough. The owner is SO sweet, so generous, and trusts their customers. When we forgot cash, they allowed us to come back another time and pay Who does that?? We LOVE this place! #1 Donuts to ever exist!! ”
“ It's been several years since I'd been do Friendly Donut House. The service is still top notch, the donuts are sooo fresh and good, I love treating myself to them. If there is one guilty thing I allow myself to gorge on is that I love me some donuts and coffee. Just kidding I'll gorge on anything lol. This time we tried the donut holes, an apple fritter that was fresh out of the fryer/oven, and got a couple to bring home with us. The coffee was good this the me around- I'm not sure how bad it was when I cane here last time but it was great with my donut holes. The apple fritter is a must try! Cash only still, so make sure you bring enough for a tip also, the apple fritter was amazing. The donut holes reminded me of home, and their options are pretty simple, old donut house options. Love me some Friendly Donut House, if you're in the area stop by! ”
“ If you like donuts you simply need to come here! So delicious & probably one of the best donuts I've ever had! I loved the original glazed & apple fritter, the original glazed was light and fluffy, the apple fritter had a perfect crisp/chew to it, both were not too sweet, just perfect! Can't wait to be a weekly customer! Be advised they're cash only. ”
“ Best Donuts in Vegas. I've lived in Chicago and California... I never thought that they could get any better than that I was wrong.... Friendly : First Place ”
“ Wow it's been awhile since I had some amazing donuts and theeeeesd donuts DID NOT disappoint . You can taste the freshness !! Made daily ! So soft and doughy ! I love any of the yeast donuts here and the cruellers (prob spelled it wrong lol ) they are cash only and family ran . Support your local small business . ”
“ Found this place on accident but so glad we did. I needed coffee badly and we were on a tight schedule between games for my nephews baseball tournament. While the kids were eating lunch at the Hawaiian Spot next-door ( Wills Hawaiian BBQ...excellent btw) I snuck over to this donut shop and oh my goodness. The smells that hit my nose were level 10 incredible! There was a line almost out the door on a Sunday and I can see why because I picked up two of their donuts and shared them with my husband and they were soft, sweet fresh and everything else that you want in a doughnut! not to mention the woman behind the counter was kind enough to make a fresh pot of coffee for me and the coffee was spot delish. Not a ton of options to dress it up, but that's not their gig you go for the donuts it's not a Starbucks people The woman behind the counter was also so incredibly sweet and even though she was super busy she was extremely friendly and professional. Definitely a go to spot for donuts if we are ever back on this side of town again.. ”
“ Growing up in Southern California, I would often frequent mom and pop owned donut shops. I actually prefer these hole in the wall places over large corporations. You can definitely taste the quality and the pride going into the donuts. I was here every Saturday morning for over two months because my son had a soccer game nearby at Heritage park. We would always stop by around 11 am and there were still a good amount of donuts left! There was always a line but it moved pretty quickly. I'm definitely a purist when it comes to donuts so I will always choose a regular glazed donut. And theirs did not disappoint. So fluffy!!!!!! And not overly sweet, which I like. My kids love the donut holes. Way easier to eat on the go!!!! I'm also a sucker for apple fritters. It's huge!!!!!! I've seen apple fritters at other places that are half the size. Here's my only downside, it's so far!!!!! If you're in the area, this is definitely a must stop!! ”
