Best Apple Fritters in HB hands down! Their quality has always been excellent ever since I was a child, and their donuts always remind me of spending time with my family. Every donut feels like a warm hug, and I hope that never changes! Thanks Adams Ave Team! :) read more

I consider donuts to be one of my many specialty subjects. I have enjoyed a LOT of donuts in my years of driving around this country. This shop shines brightly in a world of dim sameness. This is not your average donut shop. The service is as fast as you could hope for in the best donut shop in the region. The cinnamon roll is my personal favorite. They cook it a bit longer to a " crispness" you never get anywhere else, with a deep cinnamon flavor. It is special, just like the chocolate frosting they use. Deep chocolate flavor there! The ambiance is of course, donut shop. What else? How about the vintage and Slavic cars on Saturday morning? Soooo cool! read more

Nice people, old school donut shop vibe, good prices. However - the Sunday donuts were far from fresh , with the apple fritter being hard enough to be used as Kevlar armor. Maple donut texture was good , frosting was lacking maple flavor. Bummer read more

My family and I love Adams Ave donuts! Every donut we've had is delicious, but my favorite is the crumb donut, and my daughter loves the sprinkle donuts. We've also tried the glaze, chocolate bar, Apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, muffins. You seriously can't go wrong with anything you order. The customer service was so great and friendly the last time we went! We'll definitely continue to be repeat customers!! read more

Woah, this place is absolutely worth a stop if you're looking for some tasty donuts, filled croissants, and cronuts. I've driven by a bunch when dropping off stuff at Goodwill and am so glad I stopped. I got a raspberry croissant and it was fantastic. Raspberry filling throughout and a light layer of vanilla icing on top. All of the donuts had a solid amount of sprinkles and icing, which made my heart happy. There's tables inside and chairs outside to sit and eat your treats with your kids and friends. read more

Best donuts I have had in California!! They are very fresh have a great variety some you cannot get anywhere else. They also have other delicious treats. read more

Average quality. It's a popular place with the locals, probably due to proximity and no other options close by. It's a very busy place and everybody knows everybody. I was confused by mention of the Donut Derelicts, and realized it's a car club that frequents the place. They have a variety of donuts and a large variety of stuffed croissants, including breakfast croissants. I got the crumb glazed donut and the chocolate glazed donut. They were kind of dry and seemed like they were made days ago. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and also the ham and cheese croissant. They were fresh but not as good as I've had at other places. The croissant dough was a bit dense. The coffee was decent. read more

This place was awesome!! I kinda got carried away ordering 2 dozen donuts! Lol. Each donut was so delicious and soft and fluffy. The apple ones are great! I believe you can get a dozen with a "hole" for about $14. We also got specialty donuts and those were anywhere between $2-$4 I think. We ended up spending around $40 for 2 dozen but we also got a lot of specialty donuts shown in the picture. There were a lot of people getting donuts, and they were selling fast! My wife came here by herself the first time and they were out of apple donuts. I was glad we got a few. The inside is small but you can sit of you want. They even have seating outside if you want to enjoy your donuts outside. All the donuts were great and I'll definitely be coming back to try more! read more

If a negative number was allowed that's what this review would be based on the taste of the donuts. EVERYTHING was stale. One person who tried a donut said they tasted like they were 6 weeks old. We ordered through doordash and were given a refund- Adams Ave donuts is local to us and usually they are okay. Today was full on crap!! Not sure if it was because it was dash order or what but won't do that again. read more

I have lived in HB for over 30 years & traveled around the country & found this donut shop to have the best/most delicious donuts & croissants around! read more

To the heavy set lady who was working today 9/24/25 at 3pm...shame on you. if I made $1.00 for every time you rolled your eyes at me and my 5 year old, my $8.00 donuts would have been free. I'm sorry he wanted two different color sprinkles even though you told me they are the same 3 times with an awful attitude. They are not the same if they have different color sprinkles to a 5 year old. After thanking you repeatedly you left my bags on the counter and walked to the back and ignored me. I sincerely hope you are not the owner and just a bad employee. I have been coming here for decades and you left a sour taste in my mouth. read more

Been coming here for 10 years. Friday through Monday their donuts are amazing. But middle of the week you run the chance of buying something stale and old. Throughout the years I have gone here during the week and it always sucks., like I did today (Wed Jan 21st 26) STOP SELLING DAYS OLD DONUTS. OR, AT LEAST WARN THE CUSTOMER. GROSS, AND PURPOSEFUL. SHAME ON YOU. Makes me never want to come back. read more

1. This spot has so many different types of croissants and donuts! The Apricot Walnut Croissant was amazingly delicious with the right sweetness and texture, and the coffee was comforting! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with lots of people actually staying-in with their treats! 3. The staff was friendly and made it easy for my first-time at this spot! Note: They do accept card payments!

The croissants are delicious and fresh! Will definitely come again. The staff are friendly as well .

The tiger tail is our favorite! Fresh and delicious! Get there early before they sell out!

Try the French cruller donuts. All donuts are good. Plus there always open. Employees are always friendly

One of the best donut shops around. Nice folks, fair prices, clean store. Good service. When we want a "superdonut," we ALWAYS get a "porcupine!" Gotta be early , though . . . Usually run out by mid morning! Definitely worth a try! read more

First, if you are there early, you'll see some of the nicest gentlemen in HB solving the problems of the world. Be sure to pay your respects with a smile! The variety of donuts and pastries is beyond your average donut shop. When I was here they had Guava Cream Cheese, Pineapple Coconut, Blueberry Cream Cheese, Nutella, Almond, and plain Croissants. They also had several flavors of Cronuts (fried croissant donuts), cookies, and the classic selection of cake and yeast donuts. Kudos to the manager who insisted on carrying out my 5 huge croissants and tiger tail donut to my car upon seeing my cane. The friendly atmosphere cranks up a few notches on Saturdays when #DonutDerelicts have an informal weekly car show that has been going since 1986. read more

Adams Ave Donuts - The executives meeting. - Donuts Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Adams Ave Donuts offers a large variety of high quality croissants, donuts and so much more. I brought some to my 94 year old mother and unlike the donuts my brother brings from other places, she said she lifted the box to put a paper towel down so as to capture the grease. Later when she removed the towel, she was surprised to find no grease. Ingredients and oil used is always fresh. The taste is never compromised. On Saturdays there are a slew of classic car owners in the parking lot, so you can grab a cup of Joe, a donut and walk to see the wonderful view. read more

Classic, delicious, no-nonsense hometown donut shop! Along with the yummy donuts, they have great cookies and croissants. All baked fresh daily. Friendly service too. We're local regulars! read more

This is the best donut shop in California. Yelp's 50 best in the US cannot be taken seriously without this shop on its list. If you haven't been here then you haven't truly been to a donut shop have you? read more

Not the friendliest staff. Have picked up dozens of donuts for the office, today was my third time. Never met with a smile. The donuts are good, no complaints. There are always the same older men sitting outside of the store. A few of them 3 times out of 3 visits have asked "why the hell" I am wearing a mask. This is a global pandemic last I checked. Not sure if the owners know or care enough to change this behavior. Not a good reflection on their business. I don't think I'll be back. There are other donut places in the area. read more

This is a great place to get a good tasting classic donut. Their baked goods are huge and they have a wide selection. You can tell it's a local staple & definitely has the mom & pops feel to it. The almond croissant was one of the best I've ever had! read more

Great consistent donuts. Car show on Saturday mornings is cute but loud (I feel bad for the neighbors). Many different types of donuts. Employees vary (some super friendly others indifferent). They do cute window designs for the different seasons. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but this is the best little donut shop in town. I don't know what they do to the batter, but their donuts taste so much better than any donuts I've had. Small inside so it's best to just grab some to go. They have a great selection of donuts as well as a small drink selection. There were 3 people working when I went and even though there was a line, they got to us quickly. Best donuts in Huntington Beach! Go grab a dozen! read more

I've been avoiding Adams Donuts and Zubie's the whole pandemic because no one wears masks there, but after being double vaccinated for a few months and my mom being double vaccinated, I felt okay going in to my childhood donut shop. I still wore a mask and I was the only person there with one on. I felt like a few customers were staring at me, but the lady behind the counter was wonderful and pleasant and helped me out. And the donuts are even better than I remember, although selection is scarce at 10am. I just inhaled a maple bar with bacon on it and will likely come back for more later. Note: $0.50 charge for credit cards; Half dozen was $11, but if that sounds steep, the donuts are big. read more

Adams Ave Donuts - Um, yes, I did take a bite before taking a photo. - Donuts Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Actually 4.5, but I gave the lean to 5 because they made my day today. I originally came by yesterday around 10 am because I heard they had a chocolate peanut butter donut. Unfortunately, that donut and a lemon filled donut were not available. They make them but they didn't have any at the time. Just my luck that my first and second choice donuts were not available. The guy behind the counter said I could order them for tomorrow which I did. I left bummed but optimistic for my visit tomorrow. Came back the following day (today) around 11 am to find my 2 requested donuts bagged and ready to go but with a mistake on the lemon filled. Instead of a regular lemon filled donut, a regular glazed filled with lemon in the hole part of the donut was provided. The guy apologized for the mistake and ended up giving me the donuts for free because of the mistake. Wow, what a gesture of customer satisfaction. Came home and tried both donuts after having some lunch. I have to say the donuts were EXCELLENT. Since it has been about a year since I had the original version in Westwood last year and they have since closed due to COVID, I can't say for sure if this version is better. This is definitely the best version I've had so far. A shop in San Luis Obispo is close but this one is better. In regards to the makeshift lemon filled, it was actually better than a standard lemon filled. This was a great experience. Staff was friendly and appeared genuinely interested in my satisfaction. The only hiccup is that they don't offer a discount on fancy donuts if you buy a dozen like most shops I've visited. Donuts: 5 Service: 5 Value: 3.5 read more

The food is delicious and always fresh. This is a go to place for my entire family when they visit from New York.

This really is an outstanding donut shop. Honestly, some of the best donuts I've had. Really local and unassuming. No crazy donuts, mostly classics but everything I had here, was super, super, solid. Def my #1 rec for a donut place in SoCal that I've found. read more

Our favorite!! Porcupine can't be beat!!! Can't wait for our next visit!! Great customer service!!

I've been to many donut places in the Orange County area but this one has got to be my favorite. Adams ave donuts doesn't serve anything fancy, but has all your basic donut flavors with the most amazing quality. The prices are cheap, and the donuts are awesome. Additionally I couldn't say enough about their croissant sandwiches. The ham and cheese is my favorite, and I have yet to try them all. But when you order them they are served hot, and the cheese is melted to perfection. read more

One of the best doughnut shops around. Come here often and love the original creations.
