Fresh Donuts & Deli sits quietly on South State Street in South Salt Lake, delivering straightforward, no-fuss donuts and deli staples that locals have come to depend on. This spot is best thought of as a reliable morning or mid-morning stop for those in the know—folks grabbing a classic glazed or an apple fritter on their way to work or school. The atmosphere here isn’t about lingering; it’s a grab-and-go kind of place where the emphasis is on quick service and consistently good doughnuts rather than a café vibe or a sit-down experience.

What sets Fresh Donuts & Deli apart in Salt Lake Valley is how it sticks to the basics, avoiding overly trendy or overly sweet varieties in favor of traditional, fluffy, and approachable donuts. Think old-fashioned doughnuts, raspberry-filled, donut holes, and simple twists—perfect for those who appreciate classic flavors without fuss. The small deli section, featuring options like pastrami sandwiches alongside their donut lineup, adds a savory option for anyone wanting a light lunch or a heartier snack in the midday.

The clientele tends to be locals who appreciate efficiency and consistency. Service moves quickly, so even during busy times—when lines do form, especially on weekend mornings—customers rarely have to wait long. It’s an easy stop for families, commuters, and anyone who just wants a solid donut experience without any complexities. Coffee options include a straightforward Colombian roast and typical accompaniments like hot chocolate and cappuccino, catering well to those pairing pastry with a simple cup of joe.

Given its nature, the spot is not suited for anyone looking to hang out or work with a laptop, but it’s ideal for those craving a fresh donut and a quick bite before the day gets going. A visit earlier in the morning ensures the widest selection and freshest picks. In a city where donut trends often veer towards the extravagant, Fresh Donuts & Deli quietly maintains the classic recipe, satisfying Salt Lake locals who just want their familiar favorites made well.

Simple, affordable, and above all delicious! This is our go-to for donuts in the Salt Lake valley. I love their raspberry filled and old fashioned ones the best. Very quick service so didn't be daunted by the line.

This donut place is just a normal donut spot in other states. They’ve already perfected the art of the donut and Utah has all these places trying to make fancy cupcake style donuts. Solid fluffy donut and not too sweet. They’ve already figured it out but of course we get one spot in Utah that understands and of course tik tok had to ruin it. There’s lines around the corner. 4 stars until they open some more.

I love a good classic glazed donut. Soft, fluffy, and fresh. They are consistently delicious. All the standard favorites, not trendy, just the classics like bars, twist, and raised done to perfection. This is a grab and go place so no atmosphere to speak of. You won't care as you snarf down the donut in your car on your way to work.

Holy crap these tasty donuts. It’s a hole in the wall place that makes an excellent donut. Guy Fieri should go there. It’s run by a Cambodian family. Their glazed donut with blueberry icing is kind of what they are known for. The apple fritter is yummy, could use a bit more apple. And the glazed donut is like an angle poopin on your tongue it’s so good.

Wow!! I went last week for the first time ever and apparently it’s a very popular place. I got there around 9:30 am on a Saturday, and there were at least 10 people in front of me. When I left, there were literally 35+ people in line! Donuts were very tasty!! Also reasonably priced! Extremely delicious donuts. We’ll definitely be returning again. They are hot and fresh!! They are greasier than other donuts I’ve tried, so that was a bummer but also I’m sure a contributing factor to the flavor ;)

I like cream filled donuts and this place had the best I’ve ever had. The dough was soft, its texture satisfying, and all of it melted in my mouth. The cream was cool and not overly sweet. My kids devoured their donuts and donut holes. Thirty dollars for a family of seven. Well priced in my opinion.
