Donut Prince

My boyfriend and I have been to this donut shop 3 times now, and every time we’ve gone it’s been after 10pm. And each visit we’ve walked out with a very sour taste in our mouth. Each time we’ve gone we’ve encountered the same employee, and I can honestly say that he is the worst person I’ve ever encountered in customer service. It blows my mind anyone would even pay this man, because he is losing their business and customers.
The last time we came in– we waited and waited and finally after he came out of the back he told us that they didn’t have any donuts right now. We asked if there would be any made soon, and he just shrugged his shoulders. So we left.
Tonight we walked in around 12am and like last time we waited in front of the counter for about 2 minutes. Nobody had greeted us– nothing. So we called out a «Hello» and got no response. Another minute or so we rang the bell on the counter– annnnddddd still nothing. We rang it again– and heard someone from the back shout something we couldn’t make out. Another half a minute later the exact same employee (who we’ve unfortunately had almost the same experiences with before) walks out of the back and up to the counter. Doesn’t greet us, doesn’t ask what he can help us with, doesn’t say anything– just stares at us. So my boyfriend asks how’s he’s doing, and again he doesn’t say anything– just stares at us. So we just start pointing out the donuts we wanted, he put them in a bag and tells us the price. Then once we pay he goes into the back without another word.
Donut Prince has definitely lost our business after 3 bad experiences. Which is a shame because their donuts are pretty good and they’re close to home. But I’d rather spend my money somewhere I don’t feel like I’m a burden for even walking through the door.

Lol. Where do i even begin.
So i arrive — & NOTE, this is under a span of only 3 minutes — in the shop and this asian lady, looked like the owner, is sweeping without even greeting me.
i decided to try this place and get my favorite: a maple glazed donut. i decided i would get something different because their maple glaze donuts looked sort of bootleg and rancid almost.
i asked a question concerning another donut i was interested in. asian lady replied and went back to sweeping. patiently trying to get her attention again (AKA CUSTOMER SERVICE) and asked my 2^nd question, but she didn’t even look up from sweeping then replied with, «OH MY GOD *under her breathe* IT’S A _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​.» as if i was asking 500 questions. it was 2 questions.
obviously took my business elsewhere.
here’s a tip snobby old asian lady: have some patience and proper respect, especially to those people who are giving you their money. :) see you never!

I went in to buy a donut and decided to get a dozen donuts. Every time I picked a donut it was $.75 extra I was confused I get donuts all the time they’re just one price but they want to charge me the price of the donut and $.75 extra for filled doughnut where I get filled donuts for the same price no extra charge so I just walk out.

Tasty glazed old fashion donuts! I am adding this one to my regular donut spots. The Tallyrand across the way is famous for its sourdough loafs. Make this a «twofer.»

Small but fun place. Not a lot of seating. The menu is great donuts taste amazing. All coffee and hot chocolate were very good.

Picked this place because of the great reviews, and the fact that it is open 24 hours. Came here at 3am on my way to work only to see a hand written sign that says «Cash Only». I didn’t bring cash because I had seen a sign in the photos that mentioned a minimum when using a credit card (this sign IS still currently hanging inside). There’s an ATM inside, but I’m not paying as much in fees as I would be spending on donuts just to pull out cash.

Ok. So my kids and I have been in here 3 times in the last 8 months or so and yesterday was the last time. Just the rudest customer service ever. I don’t treat my kids to donuts often so they take an extra 3 seconds deciding if they want sprinkles or whatever. The lady was so impatient and acted like we were ruining her life! AND WE WERE THE ONLY CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE!!! That was the third time this same lady has treated us this way, so she wasn’t just having a bad day the first time. Plenty of parking though. ;)

Best doughnuts ever! The buttermilk bars are so good, they’re almost creamy delicious.
My favorite are the apple fritters, they are fried to perfection, a little burnt (perfectly burnt) in places and extra crisp all around.
My guilty pleasure!

Stopped in to buy some donuts — our first time in there — and we noticed a big mosquito inside the glass display case, hovering near the donuts. We pointed it out to an employee who casually responded that it would escape by itself at some point.
We decided to escape ourselves and walked straight out without buying anything.
They didn’t just lose a sale; they lost us for life.

One of best apple fritters ever! Loved my pecan cinnamon roll as well, both very fresh, great quality and fried perfectly. Great selection and fair prices, they even have a few booths to dine in at. Seems like this is a celebrity hot spot, tons of pictures of the owner with varies local celebrities, fun to see who all eats the donuts here. Very much worth a spot. While it looks like a very old school run down spot, they have some of the best fritters and cinnamon rolls I have had in awhile and at $ 2 each very much worth the return trip!

I’m a donut aficionado, so when I drove by Donut Prince, I just had to stop. It just looks so dang cool and funky!
It’s a really charming place. There were several senior citizens hangin’ out inside enjoying some coffee and donuts.
The donut’s are $ 1.10 for a regular donut. On the high end; however, a dozen donuts are $ 9.99-not bad, and if you buy 6 donuts, you get one free. They aren’t high-​end fancy donuts, but they are good. They don’t have an oily taste that some sub-​par donut places have. These guys make a good product.
I had a glazed cruller and a chocolate frosted cake donut. Both very fresh and light tasting.
A dozen donuts are $ 9.99-not bad, and if you buy 6 donuts, you get one free.
They have a wide variety of gourmet coffees available, plus Thai iced tea with boba, among other beverage. They also have other food items such as badges and croissants. See my picture of the menu.
It’s really a charming donut place… especially if you like pink!
They are in a shopping center with CVS. Plenty of easy and free parking.
On top of that, it’s a fun place. Lots of pictures of celebrities who have paid homage to the Donut Prince.

Swooped up on 2 donuts & the cashier was like «That’ll be 5 dollars & change.» 5 dollars!?!
Goddam, Donut Prince making me feel like a peasant right about now. On the plus side they are open hella late for when you have a late night donut craving.
Your Homegirl,

Nom nom nom, cinnamon donuts get in my tum!
24 hours and yummy.

I feel like I always stumble upon yummy donut shops. This one was no exception — we were headed towards the McDonald’s next door and saw the sign for this place from the parking lot. Of course we went to check it out after finishing our breakfast sandwiches.
For the past couple of years I’ve heard of the cronut but never was able to try one. I got one here! It was just when I expected, a glazed, croissant-​flakey goodness. I’d say it little bit more harder on the outside than a croissant would be but it’s a donut also. We also got a couple of other donuts and they were delicious as well! What I liked about the donuts here compared to other places I’ve been is that the donuts are soft and airy inside… sort of like Krispy Kremes… not but not quite.
If you look on my page you can see I’ve been to some other donut shops and I’d say this has been my favorite.

Best donuts hands down. They make cream filled powder donuts that are definitely worth the calories. The cronuts are also delish! I am usually a healthy eater but when I have these donuts in front of me I can eat until I’m sick.

Would it kill the owners to once in a while say hello or thanks or at least crack a smile? I realize they work hard and get up early but they always looks so pissed off and I always feel like i am the reason they look so miserable. Good donuts though

This place is great. Awesome fresh donuts every time! The croissants are wicked good. The ham and cheese one when warmed up! Wow just wow I’m a regular here so every other day I’m here. Always consistent! At times there could be a little wait but hey lots of people means they must be doing something right! Lots of coffee options as well something for everybody. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

Great donuts! Probably the best CRONUT IN TOWN! Great and very friendly service. Again, consistently great donuts no matter what time of the day you stop by, but if you are here early in the morning for the Cronuts, make sure younger here VERY EARLY! They are gone by 6:30am…

Their turkey and cheese croissants are deadly good. Its worth getting. Coffee is a little overpriced but good place to go to

I drove by this place all the time and never took the time to sample it until just a couple months ago.
The donuts are surprisingly delicious for being a place that is open 24 – 7 and they have really high-​quality donut making going on. They have a unique and creative selection of out-​of-​the-​box donuts, like chocolate frosted cronuts and chocolate-​covered croissant-​shaped donuts and cinnamon-​chocolate twists; but my ultimate fave for the donuts here is this chocolate cinnamon glazed bar that is literally filled with chocolate, chocolate chips, and get this– peanut butter!!! Yes. Amazeballs.
The ham and cheese-​filled croissant has this amazing croissant dough that reminds me of the doughs I scarfed down in Paris. Truly well-​crafted and delicious. Plus, it’s ginormous.
Service is pretty indifferent and strict $ 10.00 minimum charge to use credit/​debit, but for satisfying a donut craving at such high standards at any hour of the day or night, they definitely get my 5 stars. Plenty of parking and great location because you can approach and depart from various angles, just how I attack the pink donut box when I get home. :)

Overall a very similar donut to dunkin donuts with a dated store front.
On this trip I tried a chocolate ring donut worth chocolate icing and chopped nuts, and a Boston crème.
The chocolate ring was a little too dry but with fresh nuts chopped at a size I think is just right. Overall average.
Boston crème–
I believe you can judge a shop on this donut. It tells you the quality of the dough/​cook, the type of icing, quality of crème, and the care taken to properly fill the doughnut on a larger scale site to it’s popularity, aka attention to detail.
The size was smaller, dough again was on the dry side. The fill was very lopsided and mostly near the fill hole. The crème itself was on the sweet side, a la DD. It held up well to the dunk test.
I would say this shop is essentially a mom and pop version of dunkin, nothing more nothing less.

This is the absolute worst donut shop I’ve ever been to! The employee refused to make more coffee and give utensils. The owner came because I mentioned that the chocolate croissant was hard and he started to yell at me that I was wrong. He yelled at a few customers for agreeing with me. While he was yelling his employee was laughing at me. If it’s a choice between coming to this donut shop and getting a divorce. Go with the divorce!

The one place where you can get ice cold delicious thai iced tea with bubbles and cronuts! The real winner of this place are the buttermilk donuts. Do yourselves a favor and run here to try those. It’s a retro place with cute photographs of the owners and all the celebs… You’ll usually catch Tom Green collecting his audience members free at 3:45pm M-​F.
«Don’t get a divorce, get a donut.»

All I have to say… watch this and get a donut!!!

Great tasting donuts, great selection.
Got the classic donuts/​coffee shop feel, from a small town, but its not!

The service here is horrible being rushed to choose. The place is super old fashioned. Donuts are nothing special barely have anything exciting to choose from hands down horrible experience.

Not my favorite. I guess i’m not a huge fan of hole in the wall donut shops. The service was pretty bad and the egg sandwich I got was average. I haven’t tried the donuts yet so I bet those are great.
Better service would make this place great. I will probably not be going back.

Donuts were ok. Service was a little cold, but hey, it’s a donut shop. I did like the chocolate old fashioned though. *shrug*

I don’t know what it is when I look things up on Unilocal for food in So Cal everything is rated so high which makes me wonder 1. Everything is super good or 2. So Cal people have no taste.
Donut Prince is a small mom and pops place, which I love cause I really like to support small businesses when possible (not a huge fan of chain places). Being from Seattle. being that we’ve got some pretty awesome donut joints in the northwest maybe my expectations are beyond the norm. The donuts were OK to me. Nothing really grabbed my attention or made me feel like damn this is good! Pretty standard. No frills. Although, they did sell cronuts. I have to be honest it was my first time trying a cronut (I’m always 2000 and late when it comes to trying the next best thing ASAP) so I can’t really give a fair assessment. I don’t have anything to compare it to.
Lots of coffee options. I tried some of the flavored ones. It made me realize I like my coffee basic, straight, no frills, no sugar, no cream, no nut flavors, etc. I think all of the extras takes away from being able to taste the actual bean. That’s just me though. It’s cool they have that many options — vanilla, hazelnut, etc.
Plenty of parking and they opened super early… We were there at 5 AM. I don’t actually know what their hours are. One thing I’ll give to them is the donut logo. Hilarious. «Don’t get a divorce, get a donut». How do those two have anything to do with anything? Someone please enlighten me.

A friend had been raving about this place so I had to give it a try.
I got a half dozen donuts to taste and share with friends. My favorite was the chocolate old fashion! So delicious.
Service was great. The man who helped me was very kind and even gave me a free donut. The store was also very clean.
Are the best donuts I’ve ever had? No. Are they really good donuts? Yes.

It’s rare that a donut place have such a great selection of coffee! That’s five stars all by itself. I watched as people come and go all morning, very fast service and the husband n wife owners were nothing but friendly and gracious.
All the donuts look so fresh n good, I had to fill up a box. I saw an Asiany sesame cake and gots to try. Was extremely yummy.
$ 10 minimum for credit card use or .50 charge. There’s a convenient parking lot.

All hail Burbank’s family-​owned Donut Prince, open 24 hours for your donutty pleasure. All donuts are fried and baked right on the premises, and you can taste it. The vanilla crème is my favorite, as it’s the white creamy cream inside and not the yellow Bavarian cream found in some poseur donuts. A dozen gets you one or two freebies. I like asking for a mixed assortment and letting the owner choose, creating a nice surprise when I get to work and open the box. Not ready for a whole donut? The donut holes here are a hit!

Had a buttermilk glazed donut from this place. It was pretty good. Noticed all the signed pictures of celebrities that have been here. Pretty cool.
