Absolutely love Foster's Donuts. They have been here for a long time. Unfortunately due to the area there are bars over all of the windows and doors due to break-in's. The City needs to start moving all of the homeless out of the area. The donuts are always super fresh and tasty and the owners are the best!!!!! read more

We stopped by Foster's Donuts a couple hours before closing, and at first, the doors were locked. But as soon as the lady saw we were trying to come in, she came over and opened the door for us. Inside, everything was clean and well-kept, which I really appreciated. The woman who helped us was very polite and even tossed in an extra donut! We picked up a half dozen for around $10. Our box included a couple long johns, a classic old fashioned, a sprinkled donut, a cinnamon roll (that didn't have a cinnamon flavor more like a large glazed donut), and one filled with peanut butter. Even though it was toward the end of the day, all the donuts were soft, fresh, and tasted really good! I also like that they offer more than just donuts -- they have blended coffees, smoothies, slushies (or icees), and hot sandwiches too. There's definitely more we want to come back and try. One last thing -- they have an A grade, which always gives me peace of mind when trying a new place. Overall, it was a quick and pleasant visit, and we're looking forward to stopping by again soon! read more

The donuts are good and they try new items. Biscuit and gravy was decent but I won't order again. The sausage roll is a favorite (i dont want to know the calories). I like all the donuts but the prices! Whew they are getting higher. Monthly i grab a dozen and last time it was $45 because I did several special ones. I will have to get small amounts in the future i like my office staff but not that much! There is always an interesting contingent of individuals in the parking lot and at 6am you just have to be aware. I worry about the owners since nothing else is open in this abandoned strip mall. read more

I so looked forward to going to Foster's Donuts. What a disappointment. The employees were nice. That is the only good thing about it. I purchased three donuts. A Old Fashioned Glazed, Apple Fritter and a Cream Filled Chocolate Donut. The Old Fashioned tasted like pure sugar. There was absolutely no 'Old Fashioned' in it. The Cream Filled Chocolate Donut tasted funny. It was like the cream was on the verge of spoiling. Finally the Apple Fritter was so hard it was nearly crunchy. Furthermore, the center was raw. I DO NOT recommend Foster's Donuts. read more

Best donuts in town IMO. Very nice guy at the counter too! Clean little place . Apple fritters ar3 the best !

Years ago I came in every Friday to buy two dozen donuts to take to work. Today, I noticed a sign saying they had deli sandwiches, wraps, smoothies. I purchased a ham sandwich which wasn't huge but was very good. This is one of the ONLY places to buy a sandwich in this neighborhood unless you opt for fast food. read more

Great donuts n ham/cheese croissants is delicious especially with jalapeños, wondering staff very attentive n kind ., location is bad cuz of all the homeless people but worth checking out one of the best donuts in town read more

This has been my go to place for years. A better part of the decade. After today - no more. Ordered a croissant sandwich with egg and sausage. It's a totally different thing now as compared to a month or two ago. The sandwiches appear to be pre-made and use different ingredients. There was basically a thin egg in there when it used to be thick. It just didn't look right, but I gave it a shot. I took a bite and almost spit it out - it was gross. It had no flavor to it. It also costs $8! I'd pay $8 for what they used to provide, but not this. I can get a better tasting sandwich at McDonalds. Unsure if they had a change in ownership or management, but I can't trust their donuts or sandwiches again. So this will be my last trip to a place I enjoyed for a long time. The staff are usually nice and friendly, so it's no their fault. Someone probably decided to cut costs. I get that, but they lost a lot of flavor doing it. read more

The donuts are one of the best in Bakersfield and the service is amazing so very nice.

I really like this place. I have been there twice and served by two different people. Both were warm and friendly to me and I appreciate friendly people behind the counter. The donuts I've tried were fresh and good the first time. The second time a bit under done. I've tried apple fritters, and filled donuts. The apple fritter needs more that just apple. I suggest some apple pie seasonings would take to the next level. Also the 2nd time the filled donut had the fill only in one spot. There was a different person there, not sure if a different person made the donuts but it tasted like it. read more

This is a small donut shop located almost right across from Sam Lynn Ballpark. The donuts here are fresh and always delicious. Love their cake donuts! Oooooo them cake donuts. Oh so cakey and oh so yummy! Smoothies, coffee, milks and teas are also available here. One thing I really like is that they make holiday cookies (like the competition does, minus the lines out the door.) ;) Fosters Donuts, 4 stars. read more

Great service and donuts and other pastries are awesome. A bit pricey, environment inside great, outside the business a bit of homeless

Mom and I discovered this little donut shop on the Southeast corner of N. Chester and W. Columbus as we were driving home from the Maya around 6:30 in the evening. We decided to stop in for a little something sweet to counteract the saltiness of the movie theater popcorn. Fosters Donuts carries all the donut varieties you'd expect: glazed, cake, old fashioned, and maple and chocolat bars. They also offer croissants, bagels, flaky turnovers, and even happy face cookies ( $1.45 each or 1 dozen for $14.50). Donut prices are about what you'd expect, not cheap but not expensive with glazed donuts for .95, bar-twist type donuts at .99. The donut was very fresh, even at that late hour, and the frosting was sweet and chocolatey. There is a refrigerated case with drinks including Capri Sun bags. It doesn't look very classy, but as a kindergarten teacher I can attest to the fact that if they're trying to please the kids they're doing it right. Capri Sun juice bags are quite popular with young kids. This store is not located in the best of neighborhoods, but the donuts are good. read more

Can I just say LOVE ! . Their donuts are leaps and bounds over any competitors. We go at least once a week and have to stop ourselves from going all of the time! They have crushed ice so it is a challenge for me to stay away! The maple bars, chocolate bars, cake donuts and the occasional chocolate chip roll are our favorites. We definitely love it all! A grocery store pastry does not even compare! read more

Went there at 1pm. Some donuts tasted day old while others tasted fresh and delicious. Crushed ice Pepsi! Also make sandwiches though I didn't try one. Believe they had boba as well as smoothies. read more

This is one of my go to places, good donuts and nice people. The place is quick and easy. The donuts are always fresh.

Not the best donut shop in town but I can still appreciate them for what they are. I just wish they I could get some fresh donuts from this place because the few times I've come here I've got stale ones. Maybe I need to come first thing in the morning? read more

Not a bad donut shop. I stopped in here for a quick snack before heading to jury duty. I walked in, and I was greeted right away by a nice lady. They have a large selection of donuts, pastries, and other goodies to choose from. I decided to try one of their bavarian creme filled chocolate donuts and a original glazed donut. I sat down at one of their tables to enjoy my snack. When I'm going to a donut shop for the first time, I usually order an apple fritter and the bavarian creme filled chocolate donut. Those two are what I choose to judge a shop for the first time. I did not choose their apple fritter, though, because I did not want to be too full before jury duty. The creme filled chocolate donut tasted okay. It was large, but the taste did not impress. It did not taste bad. It was better than grocery bought donuts. Same for the glazed donut. It tasted ordinary. With that being said, I'd stop here again if I was in the area craving donuts. I just would not go out of my way to visit the place. They are not overpriced, and the service is fast, friendly, and efficient. Next time I drop by, I'll try something different or ask them what they recommend. read more

My fave place for Deli samiches!! The lady always makes it consistently puuurfect!! Very nice staff and clean place! Best donut shop in town! read more

This one keeps their donuts super fresh. Loved their maple bars and sugar twist donuts.

This place is filthy and always full with transients in and around..literally sugar dispenser for coffee was disgusting

Best donut shop in Bakersfield. They're always busy, but always nice. One day, they were out of Bavarian Cream, and I really wanted one, so they made one out of a chocolate glaze for me. Their donuts are always fresh, too. The location is not the greatest, but it's worth the drive and wait for the quality and cleanliness and service! read more

Fresh donuts!! My favorite. Clean and great staff. My go to donut place. Yayyy

The BEST donuts I have ever had in my life. Might I add, I make homemade desserts regularly. No joke, these donuts melt in your mouth and are huge! I vacationed in sequoia national park this weekend. I stopped in on my way home to San Diego. Bought a dozen to go. I should have bought 2 dozen. They are almost gone..... read more

Ordered 4 dozen donuts for my daughters donut themed birthday party. They were so kind and got the order exactly right. Then to top it off surprised us and included a huge specially made "Happy Birthday" Donut for my daughter! read more

Omg! This place is amazing. I went for the first time and was a little scared because it is not in the best location off Chester in a pretty bad shopping center. But when I walked in and see the donuts I was sold with out even tasting them yet. They have specialty donuts such as donuts with bacon, fruit loops, peanut butter filling, m&m Candy's, danishes and other pastries wow! Don't get discouraged about the line and you will see a line, it moves really fast the staff is great! The donuts are the freshest I have tasted, moist and yummy this is my new place!!!! read more

Very friendly, good donuts. Twice we asked for a donut that they'd run out of. Each time they made the requested donut immediately, and made it a bakers dozen to boot. read more

Ever since moving here 12 years ago my family has always come here, their ice blended mochas are the best!

Love the donuts here the pink ones with sprinkles are amaze balls! Staff was friendly I like this place better than airport donuts

I've been here a number of times and have always found it average. Last time I was in the oil in the donuts tasted old. When the oil in my cupboard smells like that I throw it out. It made my stomach upset and I didn't finish. Usually the donuts are acceptable and cure my craving. read more

I've gotten donuts from here a couple times and they are always good and the customer service is great. Goods prices and the food fresh.

For being a donut shop the sandwiches are amazing, I had been here before and have the turkey sandwich. I had a chicken salad croissant and the bread was toasted perfectly. The servers where at best polite which I mean in no negative way. I can add for being 3.99 plus taxes is a perfect price for such an amazing lunch. I can in all honesty say I am returning for sure. read more

Great donuts. The bacon and maple bar is to die for. The staff is super friendly. When we were there, we were given 13 donuts for the price of 12. read more

I don't eat donuts very much but when I do I have Foster's Donut's. So I was working near by and decided to have a cream filled glade donut w/ coffeeBest dang donut seriously read more

Bought donuts at this shop for over 22 years. Then, some new owner took over and the service went way down. After I paid of course, the girl behind the counter started an argument and her brother or boyfriend followed in. I couldn't believe they criticize my new clothes and how I look. Donuts were not fresh that day either, flies everywhere, located in a crap part of town. I dont' go there anymore, but when I drive by it looks different inside. Will never eat their again because there's trash blowing around out back and onto the walkway that they never clean up. No public restroom, , they were out of napkins when I was there, and it smells like trash outside all the time. read more
