This place is cute and yummy, very simply setup.

Great little shop to get your morning donuts or breakfast. They have lotto tickets here as well, so make sure to walk in feeling lucky! They do not offer cups of water, so be prepared to leave thirsty or to dish out a couple bucks for one of their drinks. The croissants are delicious and donuts are super fluffy and fresh! Location is great and they don't seem to be crazy busy all the time. They are also open 24 hours so they are always there! Just a regular donut shop, nothing really special but nothing horrible either. read more

These are the BEST donuts in orange county! They are ALWAYS so fresh in the morning. My co workers love their donuts too! So convenient because its across the street from the hospital. Sophia and Margaret are super nice. They have a variety of smoothie drinks and breakfast sandwiches. They also have lottery scratcher machine and hot spot for those who like that keno game! read more

This is no knock on the donuts, they are delicious. But their customer service is very inconsistent. A friend of mine grabbed a quick donut and they included free donut holes so we thought they were included in every order! When I walked in not two minutes later and ordered a donut, no donut holes were added. After I exited a bit disappointed, a different friend went in to purchase a donut and came out with donut holes too. All three of us were extremely friendly and cordial with them yet they showed favoritism in two cases. To add to this speculation, I am Hispanic and my two friends who also went in were Asian. I do not support businesses that do not treat all customers equally. 0/10. read more

I go almost EVERY MORNING to the point where Sophia knows my order already lol. The shop is always clean and organized. Prices are AMAZING! And to top it all off the conversations you have with the other regulars are really nice. It's a hidden gem for sure!! Make sure to pick up a iced coffee next time you go!! read more

This place is absolutely amazing! The definition of comfort food and the environment of a mom and pop shop, Dolly's Donuts (and Cookies Too) satisfies my incredulous sweet tooth. Furthermore, this place is open 24 hours and I can go and satisfy my cravings at any time! They're ALWAYS baking a fresh batch, and it may not be my favorite kind of donut, but I will always enjoy the warm, freshly cooked and glazed donut. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I'm not sure how long the cookies had been sitting there, but 70 cents per cookie was a small price to pay to perhaps discover a fabulous cookie. With "cookies" being included in the name of the store, I was very hopeful, even when I saw their small selection sitting on a covered tray on the end of the counter. The chocolate chip cookie was an average, crispy chocolate chip cookie. The peanut cookie (not peanut butter, like I had hoped) was just a crispy cookie with peanuts on top. I took only a few bites of this tasteless cookie. Cookies are definitely an afterthought at Dolly's. The highlight of this experience was biting into the donut hole included with every purchase. If they put half as much effort into their cookies as their donuts, they would have some seriously good cookies. For more recipes and reviews, visit http://www.cookiesleuth.com. read more

Dolly's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Orange, California

I ordered 6 dozen from this shop for work and not only were they done on time, they were all so delicious and I received great customer service. I love this place! read more

This review is for the donuts. Haven't tried anything else there, but the donuts are AMAZING!!! If you like doughy chewy old fashion style homemade donuts this is the place for you. Staff is super friendly. Stop by and show this mom and pop shop some love, you won't regret it! read more

Great hidden gem! Thank you for welcoming our family along with such a beautiful smile! Yummmm! Now that's a donut!

After a less than filling meal at Hollingshead, I decided to get dessert in the form of a deep fried round thing with a hole in the middle. It was around noon on a Friday and the selection was limited. I decided to grab a raspberry jelly glazed donut and a chocolate donut speckled with colored sprinkles (not to be confused with chocolate sprinkles). Talk about an unimpressive donut experience. Both donuts were on the dry side, booo. read more

My favorite little corner doughnut shop! A very sweet older woman greeted me while I was making my selection. The donut holes were spot on! She even gave me a free donut on the side just out of kindness. Support your small businesses especially during this time. I would definitely come back. read more

My daughter likes coming here, cuz they always have lots of plain cake donuts, the only kind she will eat. It's in a strip mall across from CHOC Hospital and the original Aneplaco's and in the same parking lot as Hollinghead's and Euopean Cleaners, so lots of reasons to be here! As they are open 24 hours, the donuts are abundant and fresh. Two sizes of apple fritters are available, a first in my experience. Lots of specialty donuts, too. I like that there is no Gatorade in front of kids' faces to tempt them. That way my daughter always gets milk. Me, too. The area outside is a little filthy, but all donut shops seem to share this fault. I wish, though, that a weekly power wash could be performed around the tables. It's a bit icky out there at times. read more

This is definitely not the best donut shop around. Unfortunately, it is the only place in the vicinity of where I work so it leaves us very little choice in the matter. While the prices are reasonable, the quality just isn't there. There is a decent selection but from what I've had, they all taste basically the same. Not that I am a donut connoisseur by any means but I believe if you order a cinnamon roll or a chocolate covered cake, there should be a different flavor between the two. I am a little concerned in the fact that their products don't taste really fresh either. I am expecting a glazed donut to be light and flaky but unfortunately these were dried out on the inside and tasted a little old. If you're in a pinch for something sweet, Dolly's isn't a terrible choice but believe you / me, there are better options out there. read more

Loved the donuts fresh out the oven really soft first time here with my son he liked his choco donut i got a huge yummy croissant.. nice asain Lady too :) read more

Dolly's Donuts - Yummm - Donuts Near Me - Orange, California

See all

It's 7:19 pm and they were close. Please update your hours. I drove to your shop for nothing.

My daughter and I stopped by Dolly's a couple of weeks ago. This is a pleasant little shop and the women behind the counter were very nice. The donuts looked good, we ordered and left. Then we had our first taste. Now, I'm no donut expert but these little treats were light and airy. I had a chocolate bar and my daughter had a chocolate cake donut. Both were so tasty. I guess we had grown use to the heavy, kinda greasy donuts so were pleasantly surprised by these. I took my husband there yesterday and the donuts were just as light and flavorful. If you're looking for a tasty treat I would highly recommend Dolly's! read more

This place has hands down the best donuts in the area. They fry them perfectly! I hate to say I do eat a lot of donuts... and this place just makes the best ones I have ever had. The staff is great too, little mom and pop donut shop. I recommend you come by first thing in the morning! read more

i find $12 for a dozen donuts quite high and the explanation that the cost to do business where the location is unacceptable. i had 3 "fancy" donuts and nowhere did I see this posted nor the person who took my order stated such. While the taste of the donuts is very good, the price isnt going to bring me back anytime soon. read more

Dolly's is not the best donut shop. Their donuts are OK, nothing special that you'd go out of your way for. The store itself is run down. I have often found many homeless people hanging around. It's really not great...I only end up coming here because it is a convenient location near where my father lives. The employees are nice though AND they are currently in the middle of renovations. So I may have a positive update in the future! Another plus is that if you're a lottery player they do sell lottery tickets and scratchers. I rarely ever partake, but the occasional time I'm feeling lucky, I have gotten my ticket here. read more

Always a friendly place! While waiting do get my drinks the staff gave me a donut on the side of kindness! I always love their delicious handmade donuts. Please support this small business! read more

Omg omg! The cutest little donut shop! I know 2 of the ladies that work there and they know me. They are always so sweet and make my mornings great before work. I highly suggest trying their yellow cake! That is the read more

I always come in right before closing. Even then, the donuts are fresh and absolutely delicious. By far my favorite donut place in the Chapman/Orange area. The people who work there are very kind as well. I always leave with a smile and a couple donut holes :) read more

These days, it seems as though hipsters have taken over the donut industry...it's fancy maple bars with bacon or blueberry donuts, cronuts, or God knows what else. Every once in a while though, it's nice to have a donut or two at a reasonable price that are just good donuts. Open 24 hours, I went to this donuts shop while my father was in the hospital at St. Joes, and they were quick and tasted pretty good. I had a cinnamon roll that tasted with a touch of apple cinnamon. The chocolate twists here were good, and with nice service. Solid spot. read more

Really nice ladies. Always have a smile on their face. They also are open 24 hours, which is great for a midnight snack. Great location near hospital. read more

It's delicious!!!! I got an old fashion glazed donut and a sugar sprinkled donut. The lady was very nice and she gave me few pieces of donut holes for free. The donuts are very fresh and soft. It's exactly what I've been looking for. It's open for 24 hours by the way, so it's a good late night comfort food just around the corner of my apartment. Definitely go give it a try!! read more

Great donut shop!fresh everyday and I love there ham and cheese croissants.the ladies here are great and they accept debt/visa payment.not like other shops. read more

We have been going to Dollys for quite a while. I really miss the old owner. The new owner is rude and pushy. She used to be the old owners employee. I went in to get a dozen donuts. The prices have gone up! I spent 12.75 for a dozen donuts and $1 of donut holes. Not even specialty donuts. I got the basic donuts and was surprised of how much the price went up. I also asked for $1 worth of donut holes which is 12 donut holes and they only put 7! ImSo disappointed that this place has changed this was our favorite donut shop and truly have good donuts. However, we may have to start going to Jax donut on the corner of flower and chapman to see if they have better service. read more

Fresh donuts, good selection, not too much oil and not overly sweet. Ordered a dozen. Stayed with the basics and was very happy with my selection. Good to know they're open 24hrs read more

Just got bobas drinks here today. I was with young friend when she ordered her drink. She asked to get lemon Thai tea with bobas, but woman who works here said to my friend that is not gonna be good taste, you should try it with Thai tea instead! So my friend said ok. So she paid her $4. Well after tasting her drink she didn't like it so she asked to give her the drink that she originally ordered, but woman said, NO! Can't do that!! We lose money if I do that. So I asked her look she is a miner, you suggested to order what you thought was better and so you should let her have the one she wanted. She said No, No can't do that!! Wow, how can you do that to young person I'm just shocked. read more

As I was waiting for Hollingshead's Deli to open the other day, I decided to stop by Dolly's for a donut or two (or seven). This is a quaint little donut shop down near downtown Orange, right in the same shopping center as Hollingshead's, Duke's Charbroiler, and Staples. What's nice is that it's pretty close to the Main Place Mall in Santa Ana, St. Joseph Hospital, and the 22 freeway. Although there's nothing that truly sets this donut shop apart from other donut shops in the area, I did find a donut that looked really interesting here: a butterfly-shaped raspberry donut. Of course, I ordered one and split it with the wifey (but I ate most of it). Other than that, Dolly's also sells lotto tickets and calling cards, if you're not in the mood for donuts or cookies. read more

Don't know about other stuff but the bagel size is small and not the specialty type such as a "Cheese Everything" my fav! Also very minimal on the cream cheese. Otherwise, place is as other reviewers have said. There is a Dukes burger and some other eateries close by. read more

(Disclaimer: I am using my dad's account to send this review) My dad and I were going all across the city to find Orange doughnuts as they had been on my mind constantly for a few days, Dolly's must have been the 7th place that we had tried, and let me tell you, the doughnuts and the experience we had there was definitely worth the wait. The staff member that helped us was very kind, and appreciated my enthusiasm towards receiving the doughnuts that they had made. They gave me three doughnut holes on the house and totally made my day. I definitely recommend supporting this sweet shop. read more

Although I love hole-in-the-wall type donut shops...since they usually have the cutest old ladies who've been baking donuts the good ol artery clogging way for 30 years, I was pretty disappointed when I took a bite of the chocolate "cake" donut I got from Dolly's. I use the word cake lightly because it tasted more like dried brownie crust minus the sugar. Although the donut was topped with a chocolate sauce and nuts, it still wasn't enough to make me take a third bite (the first bite was "hmm is this really this bad?" and the second bite is "yes, it really is.") I'm giving this place two stars because my bf said that the jelly filled donut was good, but this is coming from a guy who can eat kiwi fruit with the fuzzy crap still on it. So make of that what you will..... read more

Great service and delicious pastries. My favorite is the ham and cheese croissant, baked to absolute perfection and filled with warm melted cheese and hot ham. If you're in the city of Orange try Dolly's doughnuts, you won't be disappointed. read more

The guy working there was supper nice and helpful. I LOVED the old fashioned, nice and fresh (80¢). I'm definitely coming back!

A unique combination of a donut place and gambling hall. Whenever I have an itch to squander my hard earned money on a lotto ticket, I wander over to Dolly's. The wall behind the cashier is speckled with past winning tickets, fueling my dreams of hitting it big. But seriously, the donuts here are pretty good, and the coffee is delicious! And I don't even like coffee.. read more

About 2 weeks ago, I went to purchase some donuts. I got there 42 mins before closing and they were on closing mode already. I ended up buying an energy drink instead of food, since there were more flies then donuts! Not coming back here again. read more

I had to chime in. I have been going to this gem of a donut shop for years. It is run by the nicest couple. Real small business folks that care about their customers and products. They have the absolute best donuts. They are made fresh every morning. I know this for a fact because I am usually there when they are making them. I work the early shift at the Children's hospital across the street. They are not in a shady location. That's kind of rediculous for one of the reviewers to say that. If you're looking for generic tasting donuts from a big overpriced franchise served up in a cookie cutter environment by a high school kid that doesn't care about you or your business, this place is not for you. This place is different and better. Give this small business a try. It doesn't hurt that they are open 24 hours. read more

So we ran across this shop by chance, pulled up the reviews and I was convinced we shouldn't stop.... I'm glad we did. Very friendly woman behind the counter and very good donuts. Great cinnamon twist and maple donuts. read more
