I was walking home from CVS on Baker and Fairview in the morning, and decided to stop in DK's Donuts to inquire if they made ham & cheese croissants. From past experience, the best ham & cheese croissants came from good ol' mom-&-pop donut shops and it had been quite a long time since I'd had one. To my surprise and excitement I realized this place is not just a donut shop but a hidden gem for savory breakfast "pastries" and sandwiches as well. Their ham and cheese croissants are quite large pillows-of-buttery heavy (yet delicate if that makes sense) dough soft on the inside, and beautifully crisp on the outside. It has that unmistakable, old-school donut shop magic--warmed gooey melted cheese, savory deli ham in a buttery & flaky croissant that sheds flakes into the bottom of the old school bag, and satisfying enough to carry you for hours. I ate half on the way home and was excited to eat the 2nd half the next morning. My advice...SKIP THE COMMERCIAL CHAINS AND SUPPORT THIS LOCAL SPOT if you desire a nostalgic legendary ham & cheese croissant - Perfection! read more

$5 min for card. Fine. Was in the drive thru and handed the cashier my card. She takes it out of my sight to the card reader, comes back to the window and asks me to give her my pin. I ask her to run it as credit, she says 'lot of customer trust me' I give her back my order and cancel. Shady. No reason they can't run as credit or bring the card reader over to the window. I'm not giving you my PIN number when you've taken my debit card out of my sight. STAY AWAY read more

Throwback music! Basically feels like a mom and pop donut shop. Kind of feels like stepping back in time by 20 years (in a good way; please give me my bottled nostalgia). Donuts are exceptionally crisp without being oily. I've tried the chocolate old fashion fresh with soft ganache spilling off of it. If you can get it then it's worth all the calories for sure! My normal order is a maple bar or glaze twist with a large coffee (comes out for less than $6 and it's cheaper if you pay in cash). It's basically cheaper or as cheap than Starbucks but you get to support a local business, the ladies who run the store are very kind and sweet, and the quality absolutely dunks on any other donut shop or Starbucks that I've tried. read more

I've been to A LOT of donut shops in my day and can confidently say DK's is better than most! Especially in the area. The donuts are consistently great each visit. Their yeast donuts stand out amongst competitors for me. They're fluffy but crispy on the outside and evenly coated with icing. The owners are friendly and even give me a few donut holes on the house. Stop by for a sweet treat you won't regret it. read more

Giant apple fritters and bear claws. Great value. Nice lady added a couple of donut holes. Ample parking. Love that they're open till late. Right next to wadaya so you can come over after dessert. Will definitely be back! read more

Had the fritter. It's ok. Even brought half home and threw it in the air fryer. Still was just ok.

Their ham and cheese croissant are delicious. Have been coming here for more than 10 years now. My kids are grown and out of the area but when they come visit, would always ask to get their ham and cheese croissants. read more

THE best Apple Fritters. I try apple fritters everywhere I go and these are still the best ones. I lived in Costa Mesa for most of my life. Now when we visit from Utah it's one of the first places we stop. read more

1. The donuts were fluffy! The iced mocha coffee was a lot and refreshing! The bagel sandwich had good thick bacon with a good amount of mayo! 2. The spot has fun fast vibes with lots of seatings! 3. The staff were friendly and timely with the breakfast sandwich! 4. Parking can be found in the back and front! There is a lot of sign that parking is reserved for customers and tenants! Note: There is a drive-thru at this donut shop! Photo: Breakfast Bagel Sandwich, Iced Mocha Coffee, and Donuts read more

Guaranteed always good! They have a drive thru, which is convenient. Prices are good. They always give me a couple of glazed donut holes whenever I order from them. Friendly staff and open late! read more

This place is so good! It's next to MoguMogu and is open 24/7. The woman is very friendly and gave us free donut holes too. We came during dinner time and there were still many donuts fresh and available. We got the maple buttermilk and cronut which were both incredible. The maple buttermilk has a frosting that's crisp and not too sweet. The cronut is crispy on the outside and doughy in the inside. It's a small shop with no seating but perfect for a quick takeout. Highly recommend! read more

So I read the reviews where everyone complains about the two ladies. Maybe those people caught them on a bad day. To me, they were extremely nice. What did I like about this review, the service. I was not a fan of the donuts or the breakfast sandwich. The donuts were very doughy. They are not what I was used to. The breakfast sandwich has 2 scoops of butter on it. Not sure why they put it on top. For me, this was not one of my favorite donut shops that I have been to. Then again, I probably was not in love with their style of donut. read more

This is my favorite stop before work on Sundays. The donuts are delicious and there are a variety of other options like croissants with fillings and drinks. The ladies at the counter are always very friendly and helpful. read more

Went here because I couldn't find curlers (French) anywhere. Found them here with different toppings. Ladies are always nice and helpful.

Was excited to check out another local 24 hour donut shop! The donuts were mostly sold out since we came in pretty late, but we got a try a selection of yeast donuts. The ring donuts are far superior to their bar counterparts. Somehow the rings were even more fluffy than the bars! Even though they had definitely been sitting around for awhile, the doughnuts were still not oily at all! The maple glazed bar was my favorite, but closely tied with the cinnamon sugar ring. Both were light as clouds! Bonus, she threw in a couple of free doughnut holes and treats :) read more

Finally got to try DK's and I loved it. There were a variety of simple & delicious donuts to choose from like glazed, coconut, cinnamon crumb, blueberry, maple bars, chocolate bars, old fashioneds, cinnamon rolls etc. My boyfriend got a ham & cheese croissant that was HUGE compared to the ones that we're used to. The older woman working the counter was the sweetest, I can't wait to come back. Also this is a *CASH ONLY* spot. read more

This donut shop is it. We came upon this place because one night I had a sudden intense craving for banana bread, so my husband called around and found the next best thing which was banana muffins. They were the only place that had any left. Kind of on the sweeter side, but very good nonetheless! We've gone back a few more times since and are so happy we stumbled upon this place. They have a drive thru manned by friendly, hardworking owners who hook you up with extra donuts. My favorites are the regular glazed donuts and the chocolate bar. Their donuts are always fresh and perfect, never dry and overly oily. read more

The 5 star is for the glazed donut. It has the perfect softness, chew, and sweetness. The blueberry donut was great too -- had a good flavor and seemed very fresh, and not too dense or sweet. The maple bar was fine but just average. It didn't have the same chew as the glazed and the maple glaze/frosting was a a little too sweet and crumbly. read more

Cozy, cute little donut spot. Love the blueberry donuts best. The lady Maroeun was very sweet and helpful. Loved her! Make sure to tip her she deserves it. read more

Love this place. Have been coming here for over a decade. They are reliably delicious. Their Apple fritters are the best I've ever had, the apple pieces still juicy and the donut soft, not a solid congealed greasy mess like even the best donut places often make it. They often give you free donut holes. Their old fashioned buttermilk donuts are also spectacularly rich and dense. read more

Came here after eating next door at Mogumogu. Looks like a normal hole in the wall donut joint. First time I had a flat Apple fritter, which was really good. Also had the old fashioned which was even better. But the star of the place had to have been the little old lady (most likely the owner) who was just so pleasantly nice! She even threw in some extra donut holes that I noticed when I came home! Her alone bumped up my review from a 4 to 5 star! read more
