Walking into Marge’s Donut Shop in Grand Rapids is like stepping into a local treasure that understands one thing perfectly: how a donut should taste. From the very first bite, it’s an explosion of flavor—rich, balanced, and unmistakably fresh.
The donuts are light, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth good, never greasy, never heavy. Each one feels thoughtfully made, with that rare combination of nostalgic comfort and top-tier quality.
And then there are the fritters—the undeniable standout. Golden on the outside, soft and pillowy inside, packed with flavor in every bite. They’re the kind of treat you think about long after you’ve finished and will absolutely come back for. Highly recommend—do not skip them.
The experience is elevated even further by the excellent service—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to serve. It’s clear this shop takes pride not just in their donuts, but in their customers.
Marge’s Donut Shop is a must-visit in Grand Rapids. Whether you’re a donut connoisseur or just looking for something truly delicious, this place delivers every single time.

Stopped in for Pączki Day and Marge’s did not disappoint as usual!
The line moved pretty quickly, the staff was friendly, and everything was well organized considering how busy it gets today. The pączkis were fresh, soft, and filled generously without being overly sweet. You can tell they know what they’re doing!
Always nice to support a local place that consistently puts out good quality and handles the rush without it feeling chaotic.
Solid experience all around.

Not even being facetious, these are the BEST donuts my husband and I have ever had! We just moved to the area and wanted to find a new donut shop. Marge’s is definitely it. The prices are so very affordable, the donuts are huge, and the variety is massive. We got 3 donuts between the two of us and all 3 of them were moist, extremely tasty, fluffy, and the frosting glaze gave just enough crunch that complimented the fluffiness without being overbearing. Marge’s is definitely a go to spot!

A classic donut shop that always aims to please. Needed a maple glazed donut. No problem! A quick trip to the back and that classic glazed donut was transformed. Quote from the recipient? “This is the best donut I ever had!”

Delicious donuts and fritters. Forgot to call a head to pick up 12 dozen donuts and was given some coffee and given great service for my large order. They are a community treasure and lovely folks, who happen to make delightful donuts and pastries.

Marge’s Donut Den has been a family favorite since I’ve been born. Not just for the food and atmosphere but for Marge herself. She is an angel with the most generous heart. Who stays open on Christmas so lonely people have a place to go for the holiday? Marge’s. Who puts wells in 3rd world countries? Marge’s. And most recently my experience with her is incredible. Yes, she is a family friend but I know she would do this for anyone because she loves everyone the same. We ordered 60 sugar cookies for our son’s first grade Christmas party so they could have a cookie decorating station. We didn’t realize that what we were thinking of and what we ordered were 2 different things. When I went to pick up the cookies a day before the party I saw they were all circles and was surprised. I expressed that I thought they were going to be in shapes. They told me that what I was thinking of were butter cookies and that sugar cookies always come in circles. Even though it was my mistake they offered to help me get what I truly wished for. It was a Christmas miracle. One of Marge’s girls came in after hours, outside of working hours to work all night to make 60 butter cookies in 3 different shapes for me so they’d be ready by 9am the next day for a 10:15am party. Now THAT’s not just excellent service but a lot of love. You are THE BEST Marge! We adore you and your bakery!
…oh, and all the kids and teachers raved about how yummy the cookies were!

I’ve been in the area for four years now and I refuse to go anywhere other than Marge’s for baked goods. Not only do they make the best donuts, cookies and cakes but the service is incredibly friendly and feels like home. I have a hard time not raving about the cream filled donuts anytime the topic is brought up… Upon my last visit I accidentally locked my keys in my car, when I went inside to call a tow truck Marge offered to personally drive me 15 minutes home to grab my spare. Saving me a good amount of money. I can’t thank her enough, Marge is a blessing!

Oh, Marge’s! I wish the folks who run Marge’s ran every food establishment. Aside from the fact that their donuts are AMAZING, the place is quaint, cozy, and clean. Not just clean, SPOTLESS. The staff are dressed all in white, they are constantly wiping everything down. Go there and make sure this place lives on forever.

Marge’s seems like a GR institution, and it’s easy to see why. They have a wide assortment of donuts and pastries for sale at decent prices, and the staff is friendly. The donuts are fluffy and sweet, and there’s nothing to complain about. I really liked the chocolate old fashioned donut with its bit of crunch. Buying the donuts was as easy as I could hope, and I appreciate the warm attitude of the employees. I hope they continue to serve GR for many more years to come.
