    Strawberry cake & blueberry cake donuts
    Lucy N.

    Absolutely insane! I'm more of a cake donut person and this place delivered. I tried the strawberry one and blueberry one. Their apple fritters I swear weigh 5lbs. Fun place and vibes to be in and get donuts! There can be a line tho otherwise it's an in and out place. Outdoor seating available :)

    We came at 11 on a Sunday and there weren't many donuts left...totally understandable why!! Got the blueberry and cinnamon crumb and they were the most delicious donuts I've ever had! Super fluffy and light and flavorful. The ham cheese egg and jalapeño croissant sandwich was yummy too. Definitely coming early tomorrow so I can try one of those huge fritters!

    Wow! There's a reason they call it dank donuts!! Drew took such good care of us this afternoon. I personally got the old fashioned and blueberry donut and omg!!! They were both sooo good. The service is fast, staff is friendly and food is BOMBBB!!! Can't wait to come back

    Get there early because they sell out quick! All the donuts are delicious but I very much enjoyed and recommend the apple fritter, pineapple fritter and cinnamon roll! They are enormous and either take days to finish it you can be nice and share. They are fresh and flavor is perfect. The sandwiches are also very good and made fresh. Great to take down to the lake or on the boat. The place itself has tables outside, plenty of parking and a cute mini golf area.

    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.

    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.

    First time visiting Dank Donuts! We came later in the day so options were limited, but the blueberry donuts were hot and fresh and oh so delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly and gave extra attention to our pup! We will definitely we back!

    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).

    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 !

    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!

I returned this summer and let me say that they make a fantastic cup of coffee! This is a very cool, independent coffee shop where locals and tourists like me congregate. From the friendly folks behind the counter to the variety of comfortable seating options, this spot is a welcoming place to sip, eat, hang, play a game, or watch a Bob Ross episode. I'm kind of a coffee purist and really enjoyed their dark roast drip which was rich, dark, and smooth. The do have a full menu of hot and cold drink options which all looked just a tasty. On one of my visits, I ordered their Moonridge Breakfast Sandwich, without cheese. It was delicious and well constructed, with toasted sourdough, thick bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato, some red onion, and a very yummy garlic aoli. They offer packets of hot sauce and other condiments for folks like me who want a bit of heat. I'm not a big pastry person, but their pasty case look really good with a wide variety of options. There are lots of coffee options in Big Bear and I've tried a few. I'll stick with Moonridge Coffee Company for a great cup of coffee and meal. I highly recommend this location and will return.

The shop is veteran owned with lots of coffee enthusiasm marketed. The classic coffees are available, nothing out of the ordinary. They have matcha, teas, and beers as well. I got the caramel machiatto which was very milky IMO but decent. I ordered the avocado toast and moonridge club sandwich because some items weren't available after 11 am. The avocado toast was elevated with tomato and arugula (I think) and a citrus hint. The sandwich was probably the most enticing to me on their, what seems like, summer menu. It came with options between potato salad or chips.

They were simply sitting on a table next to the pickup window, and apparently I was expected to finish the job myself. The lids were stuck together, and when I finally managed to separate one and tried to put it on the cup, the cheap plastic cup crushed under the pressure, spilling my drink everywhere. The most frustrating part? When I asked for the drink to be replaced, they didn't want to replace it. So I'm paying around $8 for a mediocre coffee, and somehow I'm also responsible for fighting with defective lids and a flimsy cup--and then expected to just accept the loss when it spills? This is basic customer service. Put a lid on the drink. Use cups that don't collapse when someone tries to put a lid on them. And if your own setup causes a customer's drink to spill, replace it. For what they charge, the quality and service should be much better. I left feeling like I had paid premium prices to do the staff's job myself. Definitely not the experience I expected.

The fact that it's all the way in Big Bear makes it even more surprising because the fish is always so fresh and the flavors are, of course, amazing. This is genuinely one of the highlights of every trip when I get the chance to come here. I've tried a few of the bowls and they've all been solid, but the Kraken is definitely my go-to. The fish, flavors, and toppings all work so well together. I love everything about this bowl and find myself thinking about it even when I'm nowhere near Big Bear. I'm also glad they were able to move into a bigger location because the old one was much smaller. It can still get PACKED though. On our most recent visit, we came around 3:30 pm on a Monday during the last week of December and waited about 45 minutes to order, then another 20 minutes for our food. They have a self-order kiosk now, which helps keep things moving, but I'd still be prepared for a wait when it's busy.

Her attitude was honestly some of the worst customer service I've experienced. We weren't being rude or difficult we were simply trying to order hot chocolate. For an employee to make customers feel uncomfortable and like a disturbance for placing a normal order is crazy. What made it even worse was that another group after us was also complaining about her attitude, so it clearly wasn't just us taking it the wrong way. And honestly, the hot chocolate itself was pretty mid. Once you get through all the toppings, it basically just tastes like 7-Eleven hot chocolate. For how hyped up this place is online, I was expecting way more. Between the rude service and an underwhelming drink, the whole experience was disappointing and definitely not worth the hype.
