Dog donut peanut butter deliciousness

Dank DONUTS oh my gosh I can't even begin to explain how cool and interesting this place is. The staff was super friendly and gave us recommendations on what to try so we decided to go with the Apple critter donut. Hands down the best tasting donut we've had especially since we're from out of town. They also have donuts for dogs which I got my dog one and he loved it. If I could recommend anything I would say forsure the apple critter and the mini donuts as well. I got an iced matcha which I will say is on the sweeter side but still delicious. 5 stars from me !

Great experience at Dank Donuts. Enjoyed the place's ambiance. Had great Christmas music, hospitable & helpful service and I liked looking at the decorations. The Rueben exceeded expectations. Wanted more with every bite.

Such friendly service! Every trip to Big Bear isn't complete without a visit to Dank Donuts!!

GIANT fritter!

Oh Dank Donuts where have you been all my life?This gnarly donut shop boasts the highest elevation in California, creates some of the most delicious and freshest donuts I've ever had the privileged of tasting, and also hosts adult beverages and scrumptious sandwiches. Nestled up high by the slopes of Big Bear is this awesome place that seemingly all the cool kids know about. Luckily my family and I stumbled upon it while out for a walk and just had to stop. Fried dough with sweet glazes make my heart go pitter patter, and Dank did not disappoint. Over the course of 14 days we tried all they had to offer and everything we had was delicious. My favorites were the chocolate long John, giant apple fritter, and veggie sandwich. The service was always friendly and quick, so they do a lot of business with ease. The inside is very small, so it's a squeeze if they are busy, but the outside has plenty of tables to sit and enjoy the gorgeous Big Bear mountains. They have fun coin rides for the kids which kept my little ones busy and happy so we got a few extra minutes to relax. Big Bear has amazing donut game and Dank Donuts does a wonderful job of standing out amidst the crowd to offer unique and fresh tastes and at atmosphere that goes above and beyond your typical donut shop.

I paid $5.45 for 5 donuts. One of which was a cinnamon roll that was bigger than my head. If you have a sweet tooth for donuts, this is your best bet in big bear. Everything was very good and affordable. I believe I was there during happy hour (4-5pm daily). I think the happy hour is $0.50/donuts during happy hour. The staff were also helpful when I had a question about online ordering (you need to call to order ahead).

Vegan sprinkle donut and dirty ish chai

Dog donut

We spent the weekend in big bear just to get away for a few days with our dogs. We decided to get dank donuts, we got a donut for the pups to share and a few for ourselves. We ordered off door dash so I had no idea how big the apple fritter was! HUGE! so good. I love a blueberry donut and this is by far the best blueberry donut I have ever had! It was so soft. So many places say they make their donuts fresh. And I'm sure they do but Dank donuts really taste and FEEL fresh. Even having the chocolate bar a day later it was still amazing! Whatever their recipe for dough is DONT CHANGE IT! love this place. We'll be coming back any time we're in big bear !

Blueberry Cake
Nayomi C.

Tried this donut spot today, it was delicious! Hot chocolate was hot but not extremely hot that it burned my tongue. The service was quick, employees were very friendly. The ambiance was nice and welcoming, even though it was really cold, I wanted to sit down outside to eat my donuts. The blueberry cake is a popular one and now I know why, it's super delicious, a bit crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I paid $20 in total for two hot chocolates, one blueberry cake donut, one long John, and 6 donut holes (these are about $2.60 ish for 6). Overall really good, I will be coming back!

Boston cream donut
Maegan L.

Solid donut, tried the Boston cream one and it was not too sweet! Good balance of fluffy donut and filling. Dark chocolate glaze was yummy!

This was my first time here. This is a great local spot to get your morning and noon fix. When you come in, you feel a chill vibe to it. The music's is chill and the employees are very nice, and fast at what they do. The decor reminds me of a chill 90's vibe. Now the donuts are outstanding. I definitely recommend the little gluten free donuts. They come 3 per purchase. These donuts do not have that heavy chewiness that you get from other donut shops. My kids loved the chocolate milk. It's chocolate syrup shot around a cup, and filled with milk. Now there regular donuts, are fresh and fluffy. I recommend the coconut donut. The hibiscus tea is very refreshing. They is great to have on a warm, and hot day. I will definitely come back.

Victoria G.

Fresh delicious donuts. Allergy friendly with a good selection of vegan and gluten free donuts as well. The vegan breakfast burrito is life changing! Highly recommend. Cute little store with lots of great outdoor seating.

Are the gluten free donuts vegan?

Anything vegans and gluten free?

Yes!! A few vegan options when we were last there. Not sure about GF though! And the vegan donuts are very reasonably priced, less than $5 each.

Hi! Do your gluten free vegan donuts have soy in them? I have a soy allergy :)

Yes I'm sorry. They do contain soy.

Is the free wifi reliable for getting work done on the patio?

Yes! We have wifi for customers... It's sort of like if you were in an airport or hotel... You type in your email address in the browser and have free Wi-Fi when you are at Dank Donuts!

Any gluten free?

Yes! They are baked and mini, but still great!

When this place already looked like it's been here for ages. A staple to the Village, the only thing that's different is the menu; now it's all accessible via QR code rather than menus that's passed through hands from everywhere. If you need glasses to read, bring them. My parents were having trouble navigating the menu without their glasses through the phone. Even with the biggest font it still is not the same scanning with your eyes rather than our fingers. Plenty of breakfast items to choose from, the blueberry pancakes seem to be where it's at. Tons of blueberries and a stack is more than most places give. The waffles were not as good as their pancakes. And the hashbrowns outshined the omelette but it's such a cozy restaurant you would eat the warm orange slice on your plate and smile as if grandma is still around and sane. Coffee was blander than brownish dishwater though but the service felt like the friendly sun on your face.

I had an old fashioned, it was decent... my girl ordered a happy hour mimosa and here is where the experience crashes... there was only one extra large bottle of cooks champagne left that had been opened and then recorked with a wine stopper. They couldn't get the bottle open so they took the bottle to the kitchen and the server came back out with the bottle broken just above the neck and proceeded to pour champagne from a broken bottle with her back turned to us, thinking we wouldn't notice. That was a first, big red flag. We had a caeser salad added a piece of fried chicken, we also had the Stromboli. The fried chicken tasted old and microwaved making the texture very tough and arid dry. The Stromboli was not as stale, but still had a spot that hadn't been fully heated so it was lukewarm to cold. We won't be coming back, it's a shame because the place is cute. The service wasn't bad if you're oblivious, and it wasn't intentionally bad either, maybe they were just working with what they got, I can respect that. But then I can't justify the price we paid for 2 drinks a salad and an appetizer. The serving cheap champagne from a broken bottle was something I can't overlook either.

I ordered a Nutella espresso martini mocktail and my man ordered an allagash beer (not on the menu, but on tap) - NEW beer for them, which was a great bonus! There were several people working as wait staff and one bartender, who was the manager that day onsite. Seemed like he was making tons of drinks for several tables - because, sitting at the bar right in front of him- took maybe 5+ minutes to even acknowledge that we were sitting in front of him in the middle of the bar- then it took 15 + minutes to get the two drinks and an order of fries. That was the only downpoint- but everything else was fine. Fries were great with a nice homemade ranch dressing. My mocktail martini was good - quite a lot of foam on top- but pretty and tasted kinda like a fancy chocolate milk. I never usually like wasting money on a mocktail $8 for it- but was yummie. Might come back next time and try some of the food. Great ambience - clean and nice location and size - especially compared to some other places in the village.

We came on a very snowy day and there weren't a lot of people in the restaurant so we had our choice of seats. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful in choosing our dishes. We've been to many Mexican restaurants so we are pretty sure what we wanted, but had a few questions as some of the items seemed a little different than expected. She got the enchiladas with bean sauce on top which we're pretty darn good. I got a chicken mole dish that was good, but not quite what I was hoping for. We both came to the conclusion that this restaurant represents a regional area of Mexico that is not necessarily the same as your standard Mexican food lineup. While the food was tasty, we didn't absolutely love it and probably won't choose this place for our next Mexican meal.

I've also tried the blueberry pancakes, which are delicious and not overwhelmed by blueberries. My boyfriend had the chorizo and eggs and really liked them. They also offer menudo, though I haven't had the chance to try it yet. If you're looking for a solid breakfast spot with little to no wait--and somewhere your dog is welcome--I definitely recommend this place!
