Rainbow Donuts

I am not a resident of Bakersfield, but work in town every week. I recently had to work a Saturday and wanted a special treat to share with my staff. I UnilocalED donut shops in the Bakersfield area, and found Rainbow! It had really good reviews, was close to my hotel and seemed easy to access. I was pleasantly surprised by the young man at the counter. He was helpful, and friendly… at it was barely 8 a. m! The donuts were really tasty, too! My staff seemed really appreciative… and I have resolved to make Rainbow a more frequent stop when I am in the area!

These donuts are simply the best I’ve had so far in my 25 years of life. They come in different kinds to suit different tastes, and my personal favorite are the dense, cake-​like donuts (not the light and airy kind like Krispy Kreme, although they do sell glazed ones like that here and they’re great too). The frosting is really flavorful as well. My family has been coming here since I was a child and we are always very satisfied with the continued great quality. And to top it all off, they’re inexpensive and make a wonderful treat for any office meeting!

Before Sugar Twist Bakery opened for business, Rainbow Donuts was my favorite spot to eat donuts in Bakersfield. I would drive 30 minutes to their place on the corner of Brundage Lane and Chester Ave. to eat their extremely delicious donuts! Their Custard filled Chocolate donut and their apple fritters are my favorite items. All the other donuts are yummy as well. They use the highest quality ingredients in their goodies, and you can really taste the difference! So much better than other mom and pop shops.
Staff is friendly, and they do a great job of keeping the dining area clean. I may not come here too often anymore, but anytime I am in the neighborhood I will continue to drop by. Just have to remember to come here early. They tend to close early because once they sell out of their donuts it is time to call it a day!

I came this morning to buy a donut and a coffee, as soon as I was going to pay, they said they are not taking debit cards because the machine is not working. No sign outside the store, or inside stating no cards excepted. I won’t be coming back. Waste of time

I stop about once a week to grab some coffee and a donut. Donuts are good, as well as the other items I’ve tried, but I mainly go there because the convince of the drive thru. I ordered my usual, and then asked for French vanilla creamer. After getting my order the sweet girl taking my order informed me that the owners started charging .50 per flavored creamer. My mouth dropped! So your telling me it’s going to cost more for the creamer than the actual coffee??? I declined the coffee. Being a restaurant manager I understand the cost of flavored creamer, but raise your coffee prices to off set the price of the flavored creamers– don’t charge .50, and if you do feel the need to charge, charge .10, something reasonable! I will not be returning.

I often stop here on my way to work. The staff is very courteous and professional. They are also very accomodating. Personally, I dislike doughnuts but I have tried the croissants and they’re delicious. So are their freshly-​made bagels.

The donuts here are always so delish. They are exactly the way donuts should be-​fresh, gooey, and so good that you hardly feel any guilt. Afterall, nothing is worse than a stale piece of fried bread with crumbly icing. I’ve never experienced that disappointment at Rainbow. They use Farmer Bros coffee, which is pretty delicious as well and pairs perfectly with the sweet sin of the donuts.
This morning I ordered a #2 breakfast bagel sandwich on a jalapeño cheese bagel with no bacon. The sausage patty on this thing puts fast food breakfast sandwiches to shame. The eggs are also fluffy and don’t give off that generic egg patty taste. Service is attentive and friendly. All in all, I’m as happy as can be with this place. It’s everything a donut /​breakfast shop should be.

I love their dounts they have that home made feel the staff is also always on point. I highly recommend the crumb tiger tail

In from out of town, didn’t want name brand donuts. This place has light and fluffy donuts, the menu includes bagels, hot sandwiches and everything is good! Highly recommend!

Rainbow donuts is a cute little mom and pop donut shop which carries so much more than just donuts. Mom and I stopped in last week and had trouble deciding what to get. Bagels? Donuts? Croissants? Breakfast burritos in ham, bacon, or sausage? Maybe the best of all worlds — a breakfast sandwich made with eggs and bacon on a maple frosted donut bar?
Mom finally settled on a cream cheese croissant that was all at the same time both creamy and flaky — four stars. I ordered an old fashioned donut, usually one of my favorites. It wasn’t bad, just nothing special — three stars.
The interior of the store is clean and attractively decorated with five bright yellow booths with contoured plastic seats and two tall café tables with padded stools.
It took me forever to get around to reviewing this little donut shop because it was always closed whenever I drove by. I’m not sure if the problem was their operating hours or my crazy schedule. I don’t usually get down to this part of town, but if I’m here when they’re open I’d certainly stop in to try that glorious breakfast sandwich donut combination that has it’s large glossy picture displayed prominently on the wall.

Rainbow is hands down the best! Great fresh products and Very friendly people! Yummy!

These doughnuts are absolutely delicious. I always stop here for a doughnut and coffee every chance i get.
