Sweetwater's Story
Delicious homemade goodness
Sweetwater's Donut Mill was founded by the Garner family in 1983. The donut shop chain started with one location on Stadium Drive in Kalamazoo. Our second store was opened in 1986 on Capital Avenue in Battle Creek at the I-94 Exit 97. The third was our Sprinkle Road store in Kalamazoo which opened in 1989.
Since then, Sweetwater's has remained family-owned and managed and has gained national recognition as one of the "Best Donuts in America," by MSN City Guide and AOL. All three Sweetwater's locations are open 5am to 8pm daily.

What Our Customers Say
"We live 300 miles away from the closest Sweetwater's every time we go down to see my daughter's we always stop and get a good supply of our favorite doughnuts which is all of them. Would love to see a Sweetwater's in Alpena I know it would do great up here because there's no competion for doughnut shops."

"The staff is amazing. It is a tradition to take the grandkids there in the morning when they have a sleep over. They wouldn't miss it. Today a staff member gave my grandkids Lenny the leprechaun that they hide on Saint Patrick's day. They said that it was the best day ever!"

"The thing i love about this place is the quality of their doughnuts. You can tell that they really care about their product and customer's. Whenever i am in the area i have to stop here and grab a dozen or 2. The latest great intention was the 'cannoli doughnut' which was awesome!"

"Simpsons donut, giant Apple Fritter, and so many more great items to try. I am not usually a carb or donut eater. However, when you go visit Kalamazoo Michigan you have got to try this place. The donut choices were amazing so many to try, staff were helpful and friendly, and for as busy as the place gets service was excellent!"

"Best donuts ever!! I bought a dozen donuts for about 12.50 with taxes. So much cheaper than Dunkin donuts and so much better. My favorite donut is the peanut butter and jelly. A dozen of these high quality donuts would at minimum be 20 dollars in Chicago."
