Crafted Donuts

Overall, a good donut fix. The prices are reasonable for the donuts themselves, but the beverages seemed kind of expensive. My husband got the Homer Simpson and I got the Nutella. Both were delicious: not overly sweet or heavy and airy on the inside. We were immediately greeted when we walked in. The space is cute and clean, and it’s not far from the 405.

First time I came by, I got the salted caramel and pb&j. Salted caramel was pretty good. Ate the whole thing throughout the day. I’m the type that can’t eat a whole donut in one sitting, especially donuts bigger than your hand. The pb&j could of been better. Way too much my jelly in my opinion. Didn’t really taste the pb.
Second time I brought my gf so she can try it. She got the banana crème donut (forgot the name) and I got the salted caramel. This time, I was dissapppointed. The salted caramel was really greasy. Like the donut was just oiled up, inside and out. Could of been just a bad batch… couldn’t even finish it. (Haha love the compliment from below, we ate the donut there just letting you know, haha. Thus, I said it could of been a bad batch).
The banana one was just really gross. I mean if you like banana laffy taffys, then that’s what it’ll taste like. Just melt and glaze and you got that donut. I’ll give it another shot next time around but not anytime soon.

I was in the OC running errands and my foodie/​donut enthusiast of a sister suggested we stop by Crafted Donuts. It was listed in her bookmarks and conveniently located off the 405. Hmm sure, why not? While I used to be the girl in the office that brings donuts into work and can usually resist indulging on one myself, Crafted Donuts has changed that.
Two words: Praline. Donut. For some reason, of the 8 flavors I tried (we never leave a new bakery without making the trip worth it) I absolutely loved the praline donut. I’ve gone back on two separate occasions hoping to sink my teeth into the same fluffy sweetness but sadly my dear praline has not been available. Despite my disappointment, I would still return to Crafted if I was in the area. The décor is cute, the donuts are gigantic and decorated beautifully, the staff has been friendly on all 3 visits, and I was sold on the milk on tap by my 2^nd trip.
Thanks to Crafted I have a re-​found love and appreciation for donuts. Sweet, fried, glazed, doughy goodness. Oh my.

Walked into this place because I was at Panda Express and decided to try it out. The person was very nice and helped me pick between donuts. They all look very delicious you’ve probably never seen anything like this before I know a hadn’t I decided to try the rocky road and also the banana one. Now the downfall is that even though they do look amazing the inside of the donut is a little dry for my liking so definitely something to try but not something to have as a regular.

My friend told me about this place, and I happened to be in the area. Wow! Little did I know, when I was right next door @ CBTL a year or two ago, this place was next door, yet I didn’t want to partake in a sugar overload. Or actually, it was a different donut place before! I had the Reese’s PBC. It was crazy delicious. I do recommend drinking a glass of milk to go with it. The place was clean, the employee working there was helpful in «explaining» the donuts to me. :)

Their regular donuts are great, but I wanted to write this review because I was blown away by the vegan donuts. I tried the chai one. I’m not usually a fan of cake donuts, but this was probably the best one I’ve ever had, vegan or not. The outside was crispy and the inside was cakey, but still had a nice donuty flavor. My only critique is that the chai flavor could have been stronger.
If you’re a vegan or are trying to transition to veganism like me, you gotta check this place out!

Crafted Donuts is seriously a hidden gem! One of the best donut shops in town with such a large variety of aesthetically-​pleasing donuts. This place is one of my top favorite donut places because of the flavors that they have.
I love the size of their donuts as well! Large donuts as big as my head! Service is super friendly and the donuts taste exactly like how they’re taste. My favorite is the cookie butter donut. YUM!

If I had to choose between Crafted Donuts and UJelly, I wouldn’t because as of writing this I haven’t been to UJelly yet.
Crafted Donuts was surprisingly good. I say it’s surprising because most of the time when we get donuts from anywhere it’s usually either «this was totally not worth it» or «that was good, but it’s just a donut». Crafted managed to kick it up a little bit higher (not quite a whole notch though, let’s not get crazy).
First off, bravo on the service. We were greeted and helped the entire way through, and there was no rushing even though we were getting close to closing.
Prices aren’t too bad, all things considered. $ 3 for a donut is, on paper, ridiculous. But for the size of the donuts and the specialty flavors it’s only slightly ridiculous.
Flavor town, USA:
–Red Velvet: Didn’t get to try it, but my little sister devoured it so it must have been good.
–Banana Cream Pie: Not my thing, but it tasted like banana Runts so they got the fake banana flavor down.
–Lemon: So good. It was like a good lemon cake but in donut form (donuts are just fried cake really, I guess)
–Oreo Mint: It tasted like toothpaste. I’m sorry, but it did. Bleagh.
–Donut holes: Cinnamon goodness but nothing special.
–Strawberry milk: Yeah it’s kind of cool that it’s on tap… but it’s just like strawberry Nesquik. Not worth the price on this.
I give 4 stars for the effort and the service, plus the fact that they obviously have some good flavors going on here. The donuts themselves are fluffy and not too dense, so you don’t miss out on goodness if they aren’t super fresh.
Lost star for a couple of dodgy flavors.

Crafted Donuts is located near Euclid and Talbert, near Fry’s electronics, guitar center, etc. From reading the other reviews I guess this was Donut Bar in a previous life, but upon walking in, I was very impressed with the décor, and the organization of the establishment, as you walk in you are literally in the line for a donut.
The staff was very pleasant, the lady behind the counter gave me a free donut for my son, she advised they give kids free donuts on the weekend which I appreciated.
I noticed a lot of unique donuts, and some standard, but was impressed with the presentation-​I noticed all kinds of flavors, and ended up settling on five different flavors —
Red Velvet– 2 stars. While the donut itself was fine, I didn’t like the frosting on the donut, in fact that was the first time I had tried a RV donut that didn’t have a cream frosting (i.e donuttery), so this sweet frosting threw me off.
Strawberry shortcake — 3 stars. By now I have noticed what other Unilocalers have mentioned, the frosting for these donuts are too sweet. By the time I was finished with my portion of this donut, it felt I was eating candy! Good donut, not so good frosting.
Chocolate Bacon– 2 stars. My biggest problem with donuts with bacon on them is that WHO knows when the bacon was placed on the donut. I don’t know about you, I am not a fan of bacon that is cold/​room temperature, while I could tell the bacon wasn’t out for that long, it still wasn’t that good. Friendly’s Donuts in Orange is the ONLY donut shop that I know of that will go in the back and cook the bacon AFTER your order a maple donut, I just wish other places did so as well.
Pop Tart donut– 1 stars. It was so sweet and so greasy I got semi-​nauseated from the richness. There is frosting on the top, with strawberry filling, so it was sweet with more sweet. I understand the concept, and I guess if you like something super-​sweet, this is for you. To me this is more of a pastry, not a donut.
Free M&M donut– 3 stars – the frosting on the donut tasted like cake frosting, again too sweet, my son couldn’t finish it due to the sweetness.
So there is a common theme as you can tell, it seems the donuts with frosting are all too sweet, as other Unilocalers have noticed as well. Another problem is that southern California has some donut places that simply raised the bar (DK, Donuttery, Friendly’s) for the donut game so you need to bring it, especially if you are going to offer gimmicky donuts that are more expensive than the norm.
I gave an extra star due to the pleasant staff and layout, and I will return to try out their tea, and some other donuts WITHOUT frosting. Thanks!

After seeing so many pictures of Crafted Donuts on Instagram and how mouth watering they were, I absolutely had to come and visit this place. This place has gotten so much hype from it’s newly relaunched opening, and I can tell why. The donuts that I purchased were the Mudslide, Strawberry Split, Almond Joy, and Lemon Pepper. These were the front runners of my first taste test of this place.
These donuts were good, but not as satisfying as how much they were hyped. The texture of the donuts weren’t that fluffy, but instead a bit on the stale side. I have to admit that they are better looking than how they taste. They are a little on the pricey side, just like any other specialty donut shop, but I probably wouldn’t come back. However they have a 10 $ box of donuts occasionally, and I would make the trip for that deal (25 $ Value).
Overall, Great place and atmosphere, but the quality of the donuts are alright.

Uh, did I just delight at the pinnacle of deliciousness? Um, perhaps! I had me some crafted donuts one Sunday afternoon on an empty stomach, trekking out to the Valley of Fountains prior to my rendezvous with Slapfish. I was pretty pleased to say the least.
Purchased the cookie butter, maple bacon and salted caramel. The cookie butter was way too attractive not to pay reverence to. One bite and I was elated. The taste was a controlled sweetness, so perfect enough for me. Although, what the heck was in that salted caramel? CRACK?! The salted caramel was a product of genius and I did adore the tiny rock salts on there. They could use a few more salt grains to equate to its sweetness, which wasn’t overwhelming, I’d like to add. Maple bacon wasn’t bad either.
They have a myriad of other delicious nominees that might get your head whirling and taste buds tangoing. The homer donut apparently tastes just like glaze. I still wanna try it, just knowing that I did. There is a peanut butter jelly one and a cookies and cream, all crafted with cookies and sprinkles to add to their complex profile. They are all quite the spectacle.
My biggest concern about crafted donuts and over the top desserts like these is if you’re going to prepare it to look presentable, ridiculously inviting and pretentious, don’t slump on taste and quality. We like substance, and so far with Crafted Donuts they nailed it when it came to presentation and taste… at least for my very first experience.
Service was friendly and warm. Their bathroom is clean and of course, you have Home Simpson as their mural so that will occupy you as you do your business.
Their donuts aren’t great the day after. It’s like a whole different donut from the day before. This might be a good thing. Or not. Not sure, but It reminds me of pizza hut’s pizza the day after… it’s like, who the hell were you yesterday, you know?
I recommend this place if you’re not totally involved with Sidecar and have an open mind.

Definitely five starts from me!
I recommend getting the churro waffle with Horchata Ice Cream.
I have never been to a donut shop where it’s so hard to make a decision on where I want to invest my calories. At the end of the day any donut actually tried there was amazing.
It’s also agree please to go get a tree if you want to bring in the next party you can invited to!

My friend had told me about this place so obviously I needed to try it. It was in a small little center in Fountain Valley. There was plenty of parking and the outside of the store was cute so i was very excited to go in and see what they had to offer. Their interior décor was really fun and hipster like. I enjoyed all the pictures on the wall and the chalkboard with tips and flavors they suggest to try.
Their donut selection was intense. They had so many yummy flavors to choose from, that i wasn’t even sure where to start! I ended up getting the PB&J, Lemon Poppy Seed, and Mint Cookie. It was $ 9 for all three which wasn’t too bad compared to other donut shops. My aunt got the Blood Orange, Maple Bacon, and the Salted Caramel. Everything was so delicious! I will definitely be back and you should go too! stop reading and head out there !!!
(They also have milk on tap! HOW FUN!)

I had my eye on Crafted Donuts for a few months now. I thought I knew where they were located but actually its a bit further from where I had anticipated (past the Hospital). The location is nice and the interior is pretty cool (not too big but not too small). I came through early Saturday morning to get food for my siblings before I headed out to El Segundo. The chick helping me was preparing a box for me already so I felt so obligated to pick up 6 donuts. Who am I kidding, I was gonna pick up 6 anyways.
The Homer– By far my favorite from this Donut shop. It looks exactly like the pink donut Homer Simpson likes to eat. I love the taste of it. The dough is incredible.
The Poppy Seed– Not one of my favorite. It had a weird taste but its design and color was spectacular. Good for a picture though but I probably wouldn’t get it again.
The Maple Bacon– I always gotta get a maple bacon. The maple syrup was very tasty, the bacon was on point and the dough was delicious
The Mint Oreo– First off, I hate mint but the donut looked so nice I had to get it. To my surprise it actually tastes amazing. The second best one I got behind the Homer
The Pecan– I didn’t really get a taste of this one so Imma just say it looked good and the color was on point.
Overall for about 3 bucks a pop this is your best bang for buck in terms of gourmet donuts. I really don’t see better prices anywhere that taste as good as them. This is a solid donut shop and I’m glad I made the stop by.

Pretty good donut place. You get a good value here and unique donuts too! We have tried the Rocky Road and the Cookie Butter ones so far and they are pretty amazing. The texture of the Rocky Road wasn’t anything special but we truly enjoyed the Cookie Butter donut. We love our Speculoos! :) It’s super hyped up on Instagram but I liked this donut shop, and everything here is freshly made. The staff is very friendly and the entire ambiance is very welcoming. We would definitely come back to try more items as well as the coffee!

Donut run 2016 stop #1
I came here to see what it was like after it was Donut Bar. The interior looks nice. Make sure to check out the Homer Simpson themed bathroom! I got the try 3 donuts. All 3 were pretty good. For 3 dollars, it was pretty good considering other gourmet donuts can be 4 – 5 dollars. There is plenty of parking in the plaza!

I was pretty sad when I found out donut bar in the OC closed down, when I didn’t even have an opportunity to stop by. whenever I go to San Diego, this is a must stop for me. BUT. when I found out crafted donuts took over, I knew I had to make my way. I was in the area and found out that they open Friday and Saturday nights! I was a bit overwhelmed at all the options, but didn’t want to over order… for my own good. one thing I love about donut bar and crafted donuts is the HUGE size for the price you pay. I mean I feel guilty because one donut is the equivalent of 2 – 3 haha. but I’m not complaining because it still kind of counts as one right? I ended up getting the lemon blueberry (always got it at donut bar), salted caramel, pb&j, and a crumb cinnamon twist. the lemon blueberry tasted okay, but not as good as donut bar (in my opinion). the salted caramel taste could’ve been a bit stronger, but still delicious. the pb&j was so good! I know it’s fairly simple and basic. but, it definitely has a distinctive flavor and presentation to it that other donut shops don’t. they don’t overwhelm you with the peanut butter topping or the jelly filling. it’s a really good balance with the crushed peanuts on top for a different texture. the crumb cinnamon was huge! I mean, it took up an entire corner of the box. I love anything crumb and anything cinnamon, this did the trick. it was light and fluffy; well packed with flavor. I like extra crumb on my donuts, this had A LOT. but, I’m not complaining, the more the better. haha, in a way I’m glad I don’t live closer. I’d probably have diabetes and always be in a sugar coma.

These donuts are so creative. The mastermind behind these must ride a unicorn to work and take the flying nimbus home after a long day. The most delicious donuts are made here. I would eat here every morning if I could. Did I forget to mention that they also have Stumptown coffee on tap!!! It’s lit!!!

I went here for the first time today and I looooooved it! Interior design is absolutely gorgeous, donuts are delicious… Makes sense why they recently won the best new restaurant award!
The staff was incredibly kind as well, as I inquired about vegan options (of which they have two, birthday cake and salted caramel, both amazing!!!). A must go if you’re in Orange County!
Also, not too pricey (~$ 3-​$ 5). Amazing price for the quality doughnuts.

Giant donuts well worth the $ 3-​$ 4 cost per donut. Very light and doughy all without that nasty greasy gut feeling you get after cheap donuts. Quality ingredients you can taste. I’m glad it’s far enough where I can’t just «drive by» everyday but close enough to me where I can splurge on a Friday.

The best donuts in OC. Love them all specially lemon poppyseed donuts and Homer Simpson.

Total trickery! So, in the year 2016 it’s hard to run and hide away from your mistakes.
It’s the Donut Bar. Same shit. Same shitty Circle K Coffee, same large, retarded donuts that advertise all this «crafted» nonsense, but no specifics on how they truly are different than say, Winchells. Sidecar truly is gourmet, and not out of a paper sack of feces.
I was tricked into trying this crap again. Don’t you fall for it.
Big dumb donuts of varying poopy consistency.
Avoid.

Crafted donuts replaced the old OC Donut Bar. The donuts are almost the same. Almost. They have really upped their donut game though. The presentation of their donuts is good and their donuts taste great. Also, their donuts range from $ 2 — $ 4, so they aren’t too pricey! I visited twice since their grand opening and they donut disappoint!
This trip I went for a recess peanuts butter cup (⁵⁄₅), pb&j (⁵⁄₅), fruity pebbles (⁴⁄₅), smores (4.5÷5), and last but not least, my to go donut, the Boston crème (⁵⁄₅).
If you want something that looks good for the gram and tastes as good as it looks, you got to try crafted donuts!

Love this place! Friendly staff and great selection. I’ll definitely go back. I wish they were open all day. I went at 3pm and they were closed until 6 :(
So hours are a bit odd but great place to take your little ones for a quick treat.

Many locals remember when the San Diego Donut Bar opened a new store in Fountain Valley. Just like the original location, it had a loyal following along with very long lines. Well to my surprise the old shop closed down briefly and reopened under the new name, Crafted Donuts. From what I was told, it still under the same ownership. However, they chose to part ways with Donut Bar and develop products that were unique to their new shop. Yes, their donuts are similar to what was served previously but the new recipes are slightly different.
Crafted Donuts is located just off of the 405 Freeway, on the corner of Newhope Street and Talbert Avenue. Plenty of parking spaces are available and the shop is easy to find. Just look for the large «Crafted» logo above the store and on busy mornings, a line outside the door!
When I walked inside, I didn’t notice many differences between Donut Bar and Crafted Donuts. The chalk board is still there and customers wrote birthday messages and drew pictures before they left. The layout is still the same and so I had to delve a little deeper to find out where the improvements/​changes were made.
We purchased three types of donuts for my family: chocolate bacon, Homer, and a sprinkled donut. I cannot attest to how great the chocolate bacon donut was because I don’t eat mammals. However, my mom thought that it was kind of crazy to add bacon to a donut but she ended up liking it in the end. She said that it was interesting and never thought that the two could be combined to make such a tasty treat. The sprinkled donut is what’s popular with the kids so my niece was happy to receive hers. I sampled a piece of her donut and found that it tasted like any other sprinkled donut that I’ve had before. As for the Homer donut, that was a different story! It looked exactly like the previous version sold by Donut Bar. It’s large and the icing is nice and thick! The donut itself was not very sweet and usually this bothers me. However, this time it was different because the frosting was very sweet and added more flavor to the donut. I didn’t feel like I was biting into something that was full of sugar. I felt like there was a perfect balance of ingredients that resulted in a product in which every bite was delicious.
For your convenience, the menu is posted in the window. Prices range from $ 1 to $ 4 which is a little expensive in comparison with your run of the mill donut shop. But think of it this way, you are paying for a product that is larger than usual, unique to this location, and totally delicious. I would equate this to the price of a cupcake at a trendy bakery!
Crafted Donuts picked up where Donut Bar left off. They seem to have used the foundation that was laid before and made subtle changes to help them move forward. So far, it looks like people are very receptive to the change. Many of their donuts are tempting and it’ll be difficult to narrow your choices down. If you love donuts that are different from the norm, this place is ideal for you. Indulge in one of Crafted Donuts delightful creations and see why they have so many loyal customers.

This place is bomb! My all time favorite donut shop! It used to be Donut Bar and I would go here quite often, but Crafted Donuts is just as great if not better! I love donuts, and if you’re in the area, you should definitely try the Strawberry Split or Red Velvet. Mmm, so sweet and delicious. The Strawberry Split is almost like a Twinkie with whipped cream and strawberries inside, sprinkled with sugar. It’s simple but amazingly delicious. The Red Velvet donut is also mouth watering. It has the perfect texture to it; it’s not dry and it basically melts in your mouth. This donut is topped with a load of cream cheese frosting and more red velvet crumbs to bring the entire flavor together as a whole.
Trust me, you need to try this place or you’re missing out. The service is always beyond friendly and the donuts range from $ 2-​$ 5.

Went here during their secret happy hour and got a dozen donuts for $ 10. I repeat $ 10 for a dozen donuts. If you buy 3 donuts at regular price that’s already $ 10 so what I got was a steal only the luckiest of lucky donut lovers could understand.
That being said I love the interior décor. It has a rustic theme going on and the workers are all super chill and nice.
3.5÷5 because I feel the donuts just aren’t that great. Yes they’ve prob been sitting there for a few hours hence the happy hour but these donuts I ate were absolutely DRY. Tastes were pretty average especially the rocky road, blueberry, and the birthday cake.
Flavors that I thought were decent were the Homer donut and the PBNJ donuts. Will I go back~~Yes, if I’m really craving donuts and if I’m down to try the other flavors.
Is $ 3 worth it for their donuts? Absolutely not. I’m probably spoiled by the quality of Sidecar Doughnuts but these 2 places are not even close in comparison.
If I were you, I’d try coming in either at 11am or 1pm when they’re close to selling out to get a kickass deal.

Went on a donut run last Saturday because my boyfriend and I were in the area. We decided to check out Crafted Donuts and ujelly because why not?
The store has really cute décor and a variety of donuts to choose from. We arrived at around 1pm and the person helping us out let us know that there wasn’t a lot to choose from because they usually have more but we still had around 10+ flavor options! The donuts are really comparable to California Donuts, I’m glad i got to try this place out cause now i don’t have to drive all the way to LA if i want similar donuts!
The donuts are fluffy and soft and not too sweet at all! And they’re huge! We only got to try four flavors because we had stopped at ujelly first and didn’t want to order too many. We tried the mint, red velvet, panda, and rocky road. The red velvet and rocky road were the cake type donuts a little thicker not as airy. They were both really good, i enjoyed the marshmallows on top of the rocky road and the chocolate was not too strong.
We also tried the stumptown nitrogen coffee that they have. It was way to acidic for me but my boyfriend loved it!

I came for the grand opening, getting there a little bit before 8. The line was huge as expected, and I doubted I would get the $ 10 gift certificate but the prospect of a free donut for a donut fanatic like myself was enough to keep me going. The line moved surprisingly quickly, and we were able to get inside in about half an hour or so. Here’s what I tried:
Banana cream pie donut: ¹⁄₅ this was my least favorite donut. It was reminiscent of those banana flavored Runt candies (remember those?) so I was not a big fan. In hindsight, I am not a big fan of anything «banana flavored» (although I LOVE bananas), so I probably shouldn’t have picked it
Reese’s: ⁵⁄₅ Omg, sooooo good! They used a big, soft raised donut and topped it with chocolate, remnants of Reese’s cups, and other pb goodness,
Mudslide: 3.5÷5 This was tasty and a solid donut overall, but the thick chocolate frosting on top was a bit too much.
Rocky road: ⁴⁄₅ Soft and moist! Very well executed.
Fruity pebbles: ⁵⁄₅ Fruity pebbles is my favorite cereal hands down, and Crafted Donut recreated it perfectly into a delicious donut.
Pb&j: ⁵⁄₅ I was a bit skeptical of this donut considering it was vegan and some donut places out way too much jelly as a filling but this was perfect! The jelly to donut ratio was just right and the peanut butter was soft and creamy. The fact that it was vegan made me feel a little better about eating it ;)
I will be back! Here’s to hoping the quality continues even after the grand opening ;)

I didn’t like OC Donut Bar and though it’s essentially the same, I didn’t mind it this time around. Maybe because they tasted fresher on the Sunday I came (after the grand opening). I remember when Donut Bar first opened and I went and tried it because of all the hype surrounding the San Diego location. In any case, Crafter Donuts has a lot of offerings — vegan strawberries and cream and vegan PB&J as well as a Homer Simpson donut and fruity pebbles. The donuts are gigantic, but the texture is fluffy and has a good sweet ratio.
We had the strawberries and cream, which was perfectly sweet — the donut portion was a sugar donut — and the fruity pebbles.

Finally came here for the donuts. I live close by and had been following their IG before the name change. Didn’t make it to the re opening last weekend but I don’t mind because we got our order and walked out in 5 mins.
My order consisted of the red velvet, s’mores, banana crème pie, Reese’s peanut butter, almond joy, the Homer, and pecan praline and my daughters each received a free Star Wars donut!
Donuts are soft and melt in your mouth delicious! And that’s just trying the homer and Star Wars donuts. I’m sure the others will not disappoint and will probably go back to the the strawberry split one.

Previously known as Donut Bar. Drove all the way from SD for their opening day and decided to make it a whole day trip in OC. We made it 5 mins before they closed as well as a couple of other people. They were giving 1 free donut to everyone that came in which was nice. Unfortunately they didn’t have the donuts my friend and I were looking forward to because they sold out. That’s okay though, we saw that coming. I decided to get the lemon poppyseed donut and my friend got the bacon and milk chocolate donut.
Pretty much same concept as Donut Bar, just different name. Other than that, all the employees were super nice and welcoming everyone regardless if they were about to close.

As I stood there in the freezing cold (it’s was only 50° so I was sure that I would’ve lived another day, it’s only Southern California and not Fargo, Minnesota), I realized I had an hour to decide which complimentary donut I was going to devour. It was the GRAND OPENING of the new Crafted Donuts!
Now, 5 minutes prior to the grand opening, Chef Hector gave an explanation to why OC Donut Bar closed down and reopened as Crafted Donuts. He basically said that they cut ties with the donut bar name, got a new brand name, but they still make the same heavenly fresh gourmet donuts with in-​house made ingredients. By the way, that last part is very true. I’ve tasted it, so it’s undoubtedly true!
All I have to say is that the shop’s menu and appearance might have slightly changed, but that #bestdonutsintheworld taste remains perpetual.

Came here on opening day around noon and they were moving quickly so props to them for that specially when they are giving away a free donuts.
I’ve become a huge donut snub since there are so many places to pick from in SoCal. This place is great. Not amazing, but they do a pretty good job.
I ordered the homer, s’mores, red velvet and old fashioned. The homer was by far my favorite and it was pretty much perfect actually. Soft and just right. The other three were great but a little on the dry side. I’ll check them out again, but I’m not dying to drive out here from Long Beach anytime soon.

3.5÷4 stars. Donuts are big and soft. Various flavors from $ 3 – 4 each. They offered tea, coffee and chocolate milk.
Tried 4 of them.
Strawberry split-​surprisingly the softest out of all of threm sprinkled w sugar
Lemon poppy-​slight tangy sprinkled w poppy seed
Mudslide-​pretty decadent
Reese’s– one of the sweetest with peanut butter and chocolate.
Would try it again if I’m in the area, but this time right after I buy them. i had them 12 hours after I bought them for a party and the dough just seemed ok.

I’ve never been to the Donut Bar so my review is solely based on my experience today.
I was lucky enough to attend a preview before their grand opening this weekend.
Service: so incredibly helpful, attentive and nice. I was lucky enough to meet the chef who was extremely personable and engaging.
Food: Wow. These donuts are not only huge (bang for your buck) but there are so many flavors to choose from! Not rich nor too sweet, but the pastry itself is fluffy and light that is a great contrast to the creative flavors and combinations. The PB and jelly one is insane as it oozes out with the first bite. No skimping filling here!
The place itself is very trendy and has a great vibe. A comfortable place offering delicious donuts. Will be back!
