What you should know about Donut Tyme.
Donut Tyme is best known for being founded in 1989 by Ali Moghaddam, whose family-owned bakery has operated continuously along East Charleston Boulevard for more than three decades while remaining open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Moghaddam entered the doughnut business after immigrating from Iran, spent years learning commercial baking before opening Donut Tyme, and continues producing doughnuts in-house rather than relying on frozen or factory-made products. The bakery's menu has expanded to include Bavarian Cronuts, Blueberry Cronuts, Oreo doughnuts, chocolate buttermilk doughnuts, blueberry cake doughnuts, apple fritters, bear claws, jumbo glazed doughnuts, jumbo cinnamon rolls, vegan doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, croissants, muffins, bagels, and freshly brewed coffee, with fresh batches prepared throughout both the day and overnight. Continuous family ownership since 1989, round-the-clock production, handmade pastries, vegan offerings, oversized specialty doughnuts, and one of East Las Vegas' broadest traditional doughnut selections have established Donut Tyme as one of Southern Nevada's longest-running independent bakeries.
Fresh yeast dough, rich vanilla glaze, maple icing, cinnamon sugar, buttery pastry, toasted almonds, fruit fillings, and freshly brewed coffee establish a bakery rooted in traditional American doughnut craftsmanship. Crisp old-fashioned doughnuts, airy glazed rings, flaky bear claws, oversized apple fritters, warm cinnamon rolls, cream-filled pastries, and tender cake doughnuts deepen that foundation through contrasting textures, balanced sweetness, and familiar flavors. Precise dough proofing, disciplined frying, attentive glazing, careful pastry preparation, and continuous small-batch production preserve the integrity of every baked good while allowing freshness to remain the defining focus throughout the experience. Together, decades of neighborhood support, classic American baking traditions, generous pastry selections, and disciplined execution create a bakery defined by consistency, craftsmanship, and enduring local appeal.
