Friendly Donut House
About This Spot
Stepping into Friendly Donut House feels like slipping into a cherished neighborhood nook where time slows just enough to savor simple pleasures. This modest spot, tucked away along Henderson’s quiet stretch, hums with a gentle rhythm—families and longtime regulars weaving through a steady morning line, their chatter blending into the comforting sounds of fresh coffee brewing and donuts being carefully prepared.
The atmosphere here is unmistakably warm and unpretentious, built on the quiet devotion of a family-owned shop that’s been crafting treats the same way for years. It’s a place where the conversations meander from yesterday’s stories to what’s coming next, while kids’ eyes light up as they deliberate over the tempting array behind the glass. The slower pace invites you to linger, savoring the simple delight of a perfectly fresh donut paired with a straightforward cup of coffee—no frills, just honest flavors and familiar comfort.
What stands out beyond the mouthwatering offerings is the palpable sense of community that fills the room. Friendly Donut House is less about flashy presentation and more about the human moments: neighbors greeting each other with easy smiles, hands wrapping around warm pastries, and regulars returning for that particular treat that feels like a morning ritual. The mix of classic favorites—soft, fluffy doughnuts, gently spiced apple fritters, and fruit-filled cinnamon rolls—serves as a quiet anchor to these everyday connections.
Despite its unassuming exterior and cash-only policy, Friendly Donut House carries the kind of charm that draws people in again and again. It’s less a destination and more a chapter in the day—a comforting pause where the joys of a fresh, thoughtfully made donut stretch just a little longer.

Small hole in the wall, but it has the most delicious and freshly made donuts !! They make the donuts fresh every morning. And the line literally goes almost outside the door! Love the cinnamon buns, cake donuts, glazed donuts, apple fritter, maple donuts and the raspberry filled donut. All their donuts are very good, I must say a hard working family owned store. Prices are good too. Enjoy some donuts if you go there!

Really tasty fluffy doughnuts here at this little spot. It's not in the greatest areas but I've noticed they have alot of regulars that purchase Donuts here. But be warned...is only cash $$ here. No debit cards no ATM inside. Is basically just donuts & cold drinks in cooler (minimal varieties) but Yes, there is Coffee!! Pretty basic options, Coffee black or they offer half & half so that helps'. There are few tables in there, but I noticed most people order to go. My little ones like really these donuts, they refer to this shop as the "fluffy donut" shop. hope this helps!

Small town feel when you walk in. You've got the 3 guys yaking away about the good ole days when they were in whatever branch of the military and then you've got the kids jumping up and down with excitement over which donut they want to get. Once you get to the front of the line, you see the amazing choices, fully stocked and the hard part, you can't have them all.

The donuts here are so good! They are always so fresh! Service was friendly. A good stop for quality donuts! They are open later than most donut shops which is also a big plus! The old fashioned and blueberry cake donuts were our favorite of the three, but the crumble donut was good too.

Apple fritters were really good! And the donut holes too cash only

The donuts here are always fresh and tasty! The size and the price is right! I always recommend them over any chain donut shop. Just a heads up, they are cash only! (There is a Wells Fargo ATM in the same parking lot though.) ***The glazed donuts and donut holes are my favorite!! Fluffy, sweet, & buttery...yum!

Arguably Sin City’s eldest purveyor of Fried Dough Friendly Donut House remains a Henderson staple for good reason, opening hours as early as 4:00am daily finding shelves full of fried Dough paired to pleasant customer service. The sort of place built for Veterans to linger over Coffee, a strip-mall on South Boulder Highway playing host to regulars for decades, fans of classics will find lightly fried Yeast rings beneath Glaze while those who favor Cake can choose Vanilla or Chocolate with Sprinkles, Cinnamon Crumble or plain. Also offering Longjohns and Bismarcks, the later piped with Cream or Custard, Buttermilk Bars are textbook thanks to penetrant Sugar plus Icing in a variety of flavors while the Bear Claw and Apple Fritter are easily Sin City’s best and well-worth the drive, cost and calories thanks to the golden exterior and Cinnamon-spiced Fruit inside.

Been hearing about Friendly's for years and finally made it over to try. Everyone was right! Amazing fresh donuts, all classic like glazed twists, old fashioned, cake style. Simple but perfectly executed. They also have a huge selection of canned sodas. Worth a trip. Cash only, so be prepared (but they do have an ATM on site). Small area for eating in but nothing fancy.
