We stopped by late in the afternoon to see what sweet goodies they still had available, I was surprised to see a 24 hours sign. They didn't have what we were looking for but I ended up with a bear claw. The pastry was fresh and it wasn't overly sweetened which is a plus. read more

Crest Donuts brings back my earliest memories from childhood up through to me studying all night here in here school before heading off to find my path. Almost 20 years later, nothing has changed. It's still the cash only 24/7 donut shop that I remember. The donut racks are always stocked, and there's a variety of muffins, sandwiches, smoothies, coffee and cold drinks to serve the community's cravings. When you need something different, you can also get some Siapo! (a steamed bun with your choice of sweet and sticky filling). Crest donuts is a staple of Ridgecrest, CA serving everybody from Early morning truckers to late night students. read more

Eek. I don't know about this place. They do not keep it clean and tidy, they have a sign up in Jan/Feb 2024 that says "happy Halloween", and they didn't have any boba the day we visited. A doughnut shop that leaves crumby, empty doughnut trays in the display case is showcasing their lack of awareness of cleanliness and quality. When a food place shows you they do not care, I don't have any trust in their health code compliance. I will say, the place has all the old school charm I like, with brightly colored booths, and a cool old sign on the building. I like places that don't try to look modern. I hope the owners can do better, otherwise I'll have no choice but to open my own donut/boba spot here in Ridgecrest. read more

Blueberry Donut is one of the best donuts I've ever had and i travel a lot and have had a ton of donuts. Perfectly cooked and a fresh donut bought at 1am. Couldn't ask for more. read more

Crest Donuts - Blueberry Donut - Donuts Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

The facility is unkept and not very clean. The donuts are not the best quality. The glaze on their donuts is very thin so it's basically eating flour dough fried in stagnant oil and shortening. The outside of their facility could also use some maintenance. Save your money and make your own doughnuts. read more

This is a joke of a ham and cheese croissant first off this is French bread and not a croissant at all...over priced at $3.50 for this measly amount of ham and cheese...it's All bread. Never again, they look so full and nope...pretty much empty. read more

Crest Donuts - This is a sorry excuse of a ham and cheese croissant! - Donuts Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

Do yourself a favor and find another place. Many times I've asked for NO jalapeños in my ham and cheese and multiple times they get it wrong. When I've come back to fix my order the Lady with glasses just ignores me and the man which I think is the owner says we're all out of regular then refuses to give refund saying that's what I ordered. Try the other donut shop on China Lake 1/2 mile away read more

It all depends on what you're looking for in a donut shop but because I travel all over the place one of the most important things to me is service because with few exceptions I have found that most donut shops make pretty decent Donuts but it's the service you receive when you there it is like the icing on the cake and I just realized his donut shop is called Crest Crest Donuts which means it's probably at the top or the crest of treatment. And that I can I testify to they made me feel more than comfortable and got me helped in on the road quickly read more

Crest Donuts - The front of the store - Donuts Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

I've been going to this donut shop for over a decade. Their service and quality is top notch! They are always friendly and always remember my favorites. They know I like their bao and donut holes with sprinkles. I definitely recommend the ham and cheese with jalapeno, or the tiger tails. There's a chocolate "bar" with chocolate inside and chocolate chips on top that is always sure to please. And their muffins are always so moist and delicious! You will definitely make friends ordering a dozen to go, and the price is just as sweet as the icing! Jeremie B is another reviewer here and I had the opportunity to see his interaction with the staff. He was rude, ill mannered, and can't count to $7. Him and his entitled group showed some bigoted actions that day and they should be ashamed. read more

Almost choked on a piece of plastic that was baked into their donut. Will not eat here again!! read more

Crest Donuts - Plastic that was baked into the donut, extreme choking hazard! Don't recommend - Donuts Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

I stopped by CD's to pick up a dozen donuts for a morning meeting. For a dozen, it was less than $9. They had run out of a couple types of donuts but definitely had enough options to choose from. I love old fashion donuts and thought the one from here was ok. The other glazed and long johns were definitely better. Light and fluffy. read more

Crest Donuts - A dozen for $8.45...not bad! - Donuts Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

the service is so bad. i ordered a vanilla shake with boba and the took 15 minutes. and every time the lady goes and she takes a cup of water a d drinking it, while that's not the issue it's just it looks like she puts the boba in the same cup. it's disgusting! never coming back. read more

The staff can be rude, but it's a place to get a donut 24/7. Cash only, that's a down side these days read more

The best place to special order glazed and maple donuts!! SO yummy!! Do it, 24 hours in advance, you won't regret it! Tammy B. read more

Historically, these are the best-glazed donuts in Ridgecrest. Fond memories of late nights here during my junior and senior years in high school. My friend's family owned it back then, and most of us would come here donuts after grabbing a few videos from Hollywood Video or pizza from Nickoletti's. Anytime that I eat glazed donuts, I compare them to Crest Donuts. read more

Fresh baked donuts daily! I absolutely love this donut shop! The staff are incredibly friendly, the prices are low, & the donuts are perfect. Also the best croissants in town! read more

The freshest, tastiest "sinkers" in town, with an incredible variety and nice staff who remember your favorites.

Delicious donuts within walking distance of our hotel! Upon entry, one is overcome by an intoxicating aroma of fresh, sweet donuts. The union of sugar and dough is holy here. The selection is varied, but old standbys will not disappoint. Prices are low, and the donuts are most enjoyable. This place will be a definite stop for me should I have to pass through Ridgecrest again on business. read more

I've been a regular for almost 5 years. Their selection is best in the morning - Beautiful and tasty donuts, muffins are always in point, and their large chocolate chip with chocolate filling is always a amazing. I have a special place in my heart for their hot ham 'n cheese with jalapenos (warmed, of course!), and their hot steam buns with sausage and egg are lovely too. They always knows what I want, remember my coffee all filled up with no space for cream because that's how I like it. Thank you guys for all your hard work and great customer service. Donut ever change! read more

Their crumb donuts are so good! I bring back a dozen of them when ever I'm in Ridgecrest. AND theyre open 24/7!!

Even though they have a B rating by the Heath department I'm over it because the donuts are good. They only take cash but unlike the other donut shop in town they actually have an atm inside. I've had the French crueler and the sugar twist donuts which were both great. Their croissant sandwiches are good. If this was LA this would be out of business in a second but as far as ridgecrest goes they are probably going to do well. The place is packed read more

Crest Donuts - #1 no veggies - Donuts Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

I can't help but keep coming back here. It's a nice place to study in the evenings, on the rare occasion I motivate myself to. Haven't had a bad tasting donut yet, although the baklava was like baked leather once, but who cares, it's not a baklava shop. Ham and cheese croissant really hits the spot on those redeye mornings. Nice staff, and I like seeing Asian faces for some reason, it comforts me. read more

One of the best things about Crest Donuts is that it is open 24 hours. I keep odd waking hours so having a place to pop into for a snack is fantastic. We were greeted warmly, and then with all I can describe as great excitement, first by an employee and then by the man I think is the owner. He explained the different fillings as we browsed and was quick to bag up whatever we wanted. The donuts are amazingly fresh as well as beautiful in a way that can only be done by someone who loves what they do. The prices are amazing = .95 a single, $5 half a dozen. There was no upcharge for one of the larger donuts I got with my half dozen and this was a very pleasant surprise. Crest Donuts also has signs posted for breakfast sandwiches and a display of different flavoured drinks (possibly smoothies?). I'll be going back to explore the other food options as well as to try more donuts. read more

Definitely the best donuts in town! The place looks a little sketchy, but it's worth taking the time to get some Crest Donuts :)

I was looking for a place to grab a dozen donuts for the folks at work. Saw good reviews for this place and decided to give it a try. The staff was friendly and the donuts were great. They didn't last long when I got them to the office! read more

The doughnuts are good WHEN they actually have some. They only make doughnuts for the morning rush and then that's it. If you go after lunch time chances are they will be clean out or very close to it and still will not make more until the next morning. Why are they even a 24 hour shop anymore? They NEVER have doughnuts after dinner time so why not just close until the next day? What's the point? read more

I had fond memories of Crest Donuts when I lived in town as a kid. My first memory of ever eating a donut was at this place, and I remembered their maple bars in particular were quite good. So when I was back in town visiting relatives, we decided to make a quick stop here for a small bite that was hard to pass off as breakfast. I don't remember who was behind the counter in the past, but the kid who was working the counter has to be the most annoying salesperson I can remember in recent memory. It's one thing to jokingly ask us if we want a dozen, but to do so repeatedly when I'm with my elderly grandmother when all we want are a few donuts in peace gets incredibly irritating after a short period of time. That docks a good number of points right off the bat, as does the relatively poor condition of the outdoor seating - the building is solely occupied by Crest, but the outdoor picnic tables were pretty filthy, and the trash was overflowing to the point that crows were actively paying a visit while we ate outside. As for the donuts themselves - not expecting world-beating quality at 75-85 cents a pop, but I came away a bit disappointed. The maple bars were already gone, so I went with a maple French crueller instead - good flavoring (and a much better glaze than the glazed donut), but it was a bit too moist. As for the glazed donut - one of the plainest glazed donuts I can remember eating. The donut itself was in the no-man's land of not being dense enough yet not being too airy, and the glaze itself was barely there. It was like eating a plain donut, which is just not that inspiring to do. While it was a cheap pit stop, the poor service and conditions, as well as what turned out to be a bit lackluster quality, means that the first time I've been to Crest in well over 20 years is likely going to be the last time I show up again in the foreseeable future. read more

Great donuts and some of the nicest business owners in town. Grateful for their hard work!

This was the place to hang out all night when I was 14-15. Open 24 hours....the kids were bored. :D

I have been here twice. The first time was around 11:00, so they did not have much selection, and the second time was today. Great and friendly service, but definitely not the best donuts in town. I will return to the other donut place in town in the future. Donuts are very bland. read more

I tried this place twice now, and their donuts are not the freshest in the world probably because they are open 24 hours. They also only accept cash, which sucks. I feel that the prices could be better too, at least offer a variety of prices instead of just 8-9$ for 12 donuts. Maybe they should box up the stale ones and reduce the price on them. read more

I used to work here! Best donuts and ham & cheese croissants EVER! Nice location too =) Still a social place for the highschool kids.

The donuts are pretty good but the muffins are very dry. The server conducted our entire transaction without breaking from her personal phone call. Cash only. read more

Good fluffy donuts...open 24 hours!!!! 75 cents for most of donuts... Trying chocolate cake with choco frosting. Very yum. I will definitely go back. read more

I have been going here since I was little. They have the best donuts in town. The best donuts to get are the maple and chocolate bar. Tiny place but people eat outside or go somewhere else, read more

This place is AWFUL. Donuts were stale and the ones that were supposed to have the sprinkles had about 10 sprinkles on them. This place has a "B" rating and when I asked why it didn't have an "A" rating they said it was because a light was out! Hardly. Go to Krispy instead - much higher quality and honest people. read more
