I was an elementary school student when my dad would take me here every other Sunday for donuts after church school. It was always so delicious! My favorites were the maple bars. I use to imagine they were little gold bars before I inevitably devoured them. I'm 28 years old now. I recently came back to this location and the donuts are still reliably delicious and nostalgic for me! They are still the best. The inside may have updated but it still has that same lovable ambiance I remember. The staff has always been friendly throughout the many years too. Even in today's visit, I was gifted a free donut out of the blue. That's awesome! I still like getting the maple bars and pairing it with coffee but I've been slowly experimenting their other items. Keep up the amazing work! These businesses are what makes me proud to have been raised in Pasadena. read more

Great little Dough shop selling all types of donuts from classics to modern versions. Super friendly service with coffee and espresso drinks as well. Still good pricing as well. Keep the independent doughnut hole shops in business! Support your local doughnut hole! read more

I was blown away by the quality of these donuts! I sampled these at a local tasting event; and I loved their yeast donuts! Very fluffy, great taste, and for the most part, not overly sweet. I had the chance to try four flavors of donut holes: the creme brûlée, fruity pebble, green tea, and regular glazed. The creme brûlée flavor blew me away- the top had a crunchy caramelized shell, and there was a delicious custard inside- not overly sweet either. Such an awesome bite that I am still reminiscing about it now as I write this review late at night. This is definitely my favorite donut flavor from this place. The fruity pebbles donut was my second favorite. I'm not one for cereal on donuts or desserts- just seems a bit overrated- but this donut hole proved me wrong! The crunch from the cereal went really well with the soft, doughy yeast donut. The green tea was great- but the icing was a bit overly sweet; not a really strong green tea flavor. The basic glazed was also good. If you're looking for a unique donut flavor, definitely pay a visit if you're in the area. The creme brûlée donut is worth it, and this place is reasonably priced from what I've read compared to the upscale donut shops. read more

B.C's Donuts - BC Donut Holes at a local coffee tasting! - Donuts Near Me - Pasadena, California

Found BC Donuts on Yelp when I was searching for places in the area that offer custom donuts. The ordering and pick up process was easy and seamless! I coordinated with them on Instagram (their handle is @bcdonuts_pasadena) and told them the letters I wanted as well as the color combination. I placed my order on Tuesday for pick up on Saturday, and they were able to accommodate the short notice! I would recommend placing your order earlier if possible :) The custom donuts that I ordered were a hit! I shared a picture on social media and many of my friends asked where I got them from. They're great for birthdays and other special occasions! I'll definitely be back for more in the future :) read more

1st time visiting this spot -- and off of appearance of the donuts alone, I was hopefully. We ordered 3 donuts and 6 donut holes. Well since we always break our donut holes in halves (for our toddler to eat slower) we were surprised to discover hair baked into one of the pieces. As you can imagine, I was both disgusted and disappointed. I understand some things happen but when it comes to hair, hygiene and customer consideration should be factored; it's a wondering if nets are still being used to cover hair? For me, with price point of $1.65 per donut, I expect a better experience than this one. read more

Great hole in the wall. We tried the sausage and egg croissant and the bacon and egg croissants and they were so fresh and tasty. Got a mix of the donuts too and some of the most fluffy ones I have ever tried read more

I was on my way back home, and I wanted to grab some coffee, I stopped by this coffee shop randomly, and tried paying for a coffee with my credit card, because they do accept credit cards, and the machine kept telling it that it was fraudulent credit cards. The owner at the timesaid that the machine kept doing this to other customers as well, but it eventually ended up working, unfortunately not for me. But this guy was so cool, he gave me the iced coffee for free. Now I'm not telling you guys to go get free coffee. But I am telling you guys to pay attention to the act of gesture here. He was super helpful. Gave me the coffee which was 10 out read more

Called looking for unicorn donuts really last minute and unfortunately they no longer make them. However, they saved my daughters birthday. They made strawberry glazed and cake donuts some with sprinkles. Everyone loved the donuts. They were amazing and when my sister picked up the donuts the owner even gave her unicorn stickers for my daughters birthday. This is a special place, their love and kindness made my daughters birthday. We will be returning again a and again! read more

Awesome mom and pop store in Pasadena/Alta Dena area. During covid, they have less of their fancy options. Their donuts were very chewy, fluffy and light. The glazed donut wasn't as sweet as the Krispy Kreme donuts. I got 7 donuts for $8 bucks, so it's reasonably priced! Johnny was super nice and patient with taking my list of orders! Make sure to ask for the matcha donut, it's not on the menu! read more

Ran an errand and thought I'd stop here instead of going out of my way to my usual haunt. The coffee was burnt and doughnuts not very flavorful compared to my usual place. And much pricier. In fact, had the price registered in my sleepy little brain before I paid, I would have said thanks but no thanks. Needless to say I won't be back. Lower quality and sticker shock. read more

As one of what may as well be a thousand Donut shops in Southern California it would be a difficult task to describe anything that makes B.C. Donuts "different," but since 1987 the family owned shop at 2525 East Foothill Boulevard has been serving the residents of Pasadena fried Dough at a fair price starting at 5am daily. No-frills in a good way, cleanly but not "fancy" and cash-only for orders under $10, it was in a white bag that six Donuts were deposited on Thursday, first bites of Blueberry Cake warm and moist while the Buttermilk Bar found Glaze penetrating a few Centimeters beneath the exterior that fries up crisp and oilless. Serving a good variety, Yeast Rings topped with buttery Crumble light and sweet, B.C.'s Cruller unfortunately trends a bit too greasy while Devil's Food and a Sour Cream Old Fashioned are equal to or better than other mom n' pop shops. read more

Completely disgusted! This is not about the taste or quality of food at this establishment (which isn't too good either). This donut joint happens to be on my route to work so I patronize out of convenience. Not anymore! It will never be convenient for me to be overcharged and disrespected as a customer, especially over donuts. The owners have established a policy of a .75 cent charge for using cards rather than cash for orders under $10. The menu items are already overpriced, then if you don't pay with cash, they make you pay for not having cash...in a 75% cashless society. I imagine that most donut shops have an average charge per customer around $5-$7. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that businesses can also be charged for using payment machines however, charging almost a dollar more on a $5 purchase with no transparency for how it's based on cost of goods or it helps to keep their business going or whatever... just a "take it or leave it" approach? That is unreasonable and it's giving scam. Obviously, not enough people know about their poor business practices. It's not even about if you can afford the cost, it's just wrong. Nobody wants to be overcharged or scammed, regardless. This is the 2nd time, I gave in and accepted their way of overpricing their items because I didn't want to be that annoying customer complaining with a cramped line behind me. The first time I paid $13 for a breakfast sandwich because I requested turkey. I won't even enter the parking lot anymore. read more

I have tried a large variety of their donuts and enjoy their French Crullers, Apple Fritter and Blueberry donuts the most. What I like is that they have large variety and have unique flavors, such as taro, black sesame and matcha. You do taste the flavors within the frosting. I tried some other speciality donuts and thought was alright, such as their creme brûlée donut. I think they also do customized donuts. The workers there are super nice and they look family owned. They care about their customers and will let you enjoy choosing your donuts through their window. They also seem to follow the pandemic safety guidelines, wearing masks and gloves and only let customers order outside- which I prefer! They share a small parking lots in the plaza. Since it is bright and pink, you should be able to see it when your driving. read more

Simply gosh darn good donuts! That's what I generally come for but do nit sleep in the fact that there are a plethora of breakfast items and what is most important to me. Friendly and pleasant staff. I'm sweats in the go so this is my stop by for a quick tasty grab and go read more

wowwwwwww. I love this donut shop. stopped by because i was hungry in the area and saw this place. didnt look pleasing from the outside, in a small parking lot near sushi ya. Turkey crossiant sandwich - yum, cheese is perfect. not salty and how I like it . Turkey slices were really salt . but overall sandwich is good . I would order again without Turkey, since I'm sensitive to high sodium food donut was all amazing! freshly made in the morning and unicorn is really cute . I bought couple for a office . customer service was great!! employees were all friendly and nice. helped me figure what sandwiches were good. they made a warm welcome and goodbye . I love to come back often. (usually donut shop arent friendly and dont have young crowds working ) most of all , prices are good! for what I'm paying for. 4$ for a breakfast sandwich that I enjoyed. (unlike ptjrr doughnut shops , theres always something wrong with it ) read more

B.C's Donuts - half dozen for 8$ unicorn is cute - Donuts Near Me - Pasadena, California

Donuts are fresh and delicious. My favorite is the glazed twist. Recently tried the croissant breakfast sandwiches - sausage and egg, and ham, egg and cheese. Both were also delicious! I live close and usually get my order to go, but there are a few outdoor tables where you can sit and enjoy your food. The staff are always pleasant which rounds out a five-star experience. Be warned: the good stuff runs out early, so don't sleep (in) on this place! read more

This place is an absolute gem. The customer service is amazing-- kind and attentive staff.... Always smiling. The breakfast food is so good. My favorite is the Ham and Cheese croissant. Beats any fast food chain by a million points. The mornings are always busy with regulars but they get through the order really fast and so there isn't too much of a wait read more

First time here. Cute spot inside. But I noticed I didn't tip for asking for donuts and a sandwich and I was left waiting for 15 min for a sandwich that was cold and waiting in the back. I was waiting with my daughter for 15 min and I had to ask for it for them to go in the back and get it. I felt like cause I didn't tip they purposely waited and didn't tell me it was waiting. We never left the shop so it's not like they didn't see us. I don't think I'd be back off my experience for having a cold over priced sandwich read more

The cinnamon roll tastes greasy, is smaller than other places, and is the most expensive in the area among independent donut shops.

My coworkers and I absolutely love the donuts here. Everytime I bring donuts for our staff, they're always asking where this donut place is. Everything I've tried is really good here, but I love their glazed with coconut. What I love about this place is that everyone who works here is so nice. I've been coming here for years they've always been so nice and friendly with all their customers. read more

If your in Pasadena you have to stop. Great people here plus winderful products! Go go go.

Best donuts I've ever had!!! Unbelievably amazing. I can't stop thinking about the strawberry cruller and the raspberry glaze and I need to come back to try the buttermilk and classic!!!!!!!! I wish I lived in Pasadena so I could come here all the time read more

Stopped by twice, never left disappointed. Don't let the exterior fool you, this place has a lot of unique donuts in addition to the staples. Their regular menu is expansive and solid, with A LOT of cake options that will please people like me who prefer cake over raised style! They offer some pricier specials on the weekends, and I got to try some of those too. Really cute! And the ones I ate (saved some for others) were delicious and lived up to social media hype, particularly the ube cake donut. I'll delve into a few of the more social media famous items... Picked up some celebratory donuts from BC Donuts, in Pasadena. Most of these are their pricier specials but the regular menu is still excellent. I took a couple of close-up pictures of the ube/taro cake donut and s'mores raised donut, because I think those are the ones most people see on social. The crème brûlée donut is often advertised, and while plain looking, it really does taste exactly like a crème brûlée... I preferred it with a burnt (dark) sugary crust, but that's just luck of the draw. It tastes good less burnt too. The ube one lives up to the hype. It is light and cakey, not as dense as traditional buttermilk or old-fashioned cake donuts. The ube cake isn't too sweet either, so the layer of frosting and Oreos add nice flavor. Their black sesame cruller and matcha raised donuts are also worth trying. read more

They have the best sandwiches! The breakfast croissants are so good and the Turkey Club is next level!

Love this place. Family owned and delicious donuts and sandwiches at a good price. Super friendly service.

I've been here a couple times now and think their doughnuts are solid, not too dough-y and have decent longevity when you can't eat them the same day. Their apple fritter is better than average. They also have tasty croissant sandwiches. Custom orders with characters or letters are also possible. COVID-19 notes: order at window only read more

Heard so many good things about this place, but was seriously disappointed. Picked up a dozen various today (December 27) and took them to my parents. It was like biting into bread filled with oil. Old oil at that. None of us could take a second bite. I hope this was a rare occurrence and that someone new was baking? Will look to give them another chance because they have so many reviews and I know they've been there for a number of years, but they should know. read more

First time to get donuts and bagels and croissants at BC Donuts and definitely not the last one. All my little family enjoyed everything we got there for breakfast. The people who welcomed us and served us were the nicest and we got our hot stuff in a heartbeat. Because all tables were taken, we went to Victoria Park, 5 min drive to enjoy our delicious treats read more

I was a bit slow to try BC. I had driven by it a few times, and not stopped in. I really don't think that there are that many good donut shops in LA or Pasadena. But I am the guy who brings donuts into the office on Fridays, so I know where to go for donuts. After trying BC, I have to admit this has to be one of the top 5 donut places in LA. But if you also judge it by price to quality, it's one of the best in LA. You can get a great donut at Donut Friend, if you want to spend $4 on a donut. BC is still very reasonably priced for an excellent donut. They are as good or better than Donut Man, without the overflowing fruit option. The cinnamon swirl donut is reminiscent of a Krispy Kreme, but so much more enjoyable. I know I am going to face a day when this place goes full hipster and there is a 15 minute line out the door, but until then, this is my favorite donut shop in town. read more

After watching the Donut King documentary, i realized this donut shop is one of the stores named in the movie, and it's just a few miles away from me! Since my first visit, I've made a few repeat stops here. For donuts, I typically teach for glazed, and they're solid here. When I want a hearty breakfast though, I love their croissant breakfast sandwiches!! Highly recommend these! read more

Stumbled upon this spot and so glad I did! First impression I thought the donut shop was so cute loved all the pink seating and how clean it looked inside. All donuts looked so pretty and fluffy. Definitely give their breakfast items a try, so delicious. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese bagel and it was definitely the best I had. Also got an iced coffee strong and flavorful! Employees we're extremely kind and friendly. Service was fast and efficient. Will definitely come back! Worth the drive read more

Delicious donuts, great breakfast sandwiches!!!! We order all the time. Kids are always happy as well

No tricks, no gimmicks. This is a solid basic donut spot. I was lucky enough to arrive when donuts were coming hot from the fryer so my sample was at peak freshness. My reference donut, glazed, was great. I also got a huge breakfast sandwich bagel and a few other donuts (French Cruller FTW!). All were what you'd expect from your corner donut shop--fresh, cheap, and tasty! read more
