Tried a few donuts here and overall it was a really good experience! The Dubai chocolate donut was one of my favorites (9/10). The filling was great and the ratio of kataifi, pistachio, and chocolate was perfect. The bear claw, lemon glazed old fashioned and cookies & cream mochi donut were decent but nothing too special for me (all 6/10). The crème brûlée cronut was 7.5/10. The custard filling inside was delicious, but the crystallized sugar on the outside was a little too hard and slightly over-bitter for my liking. The cream-filled donut was DELICIOUS (10/10). The cream was not too sweet and the texture was amazing. The employee said it was their best seller and I totally believe it. Would highly recommend this place!
If you're anywhere near Orange, Friendly Donuts is the kind of spot that goes way beyond your typical donut shop especially when it comes to variety. The range here is honestly what sets it apart. You've got all the classics like glazed, chocolate bars, old-fashioned, and filled donuts, but they take it further with creative options like mochi donuts, "dossants" (a croissant-donut hybrid), and specialty flavors like crème brûlée, tiramisu, and even Dubai chocolate-inspired creations. What really stands out is how inclusive the menu is. They offer a surprisingly large selection of vegan donuts--not just one or two options, but a full lineup that still delivers on flavor and texture. Whether you have dietary restrictions or just want to mix things up, you won't feel limited here. On top of that, they do custom orders, which makes it a great go-to for parties, events, or just building your perfect box. Everything feels fresh, thoughtful, and made with care. Add in friendly, welcoming service and consistently solid quality across the board, and this is one of those places that keeps you coming back--because there's always something new (and really good) to try.
An excellent little donut shop in OC. I've been here a few times already, and it's always a pleasant experience. The many and unique donuts to choose from, breakfast croissants and sandwiches, coffees, a variety of beverages, and more! They offer some great seasonal and monthly special items. Always looking forward to what they create. They also have some classic donuts as well if that's your thing. One of my recent orders was the turkey cold croissant sandwich with avocado, cheese, and the works. It was tasty and filling. A few more recent favorites are the glazed ube and blueberry donuts, breakfast and cold croissant sandwiches, Green Thai Tea, and many more I can't remember. Browsing the tasty-looking treats is also an enjoyment. They also offer a variety of gluten-friendly and vegan donuts. Nice to know they are aware of dietary needs. The prices reflect some of the premium offerings, but it's definitely a nice treat once in a while. The staff and service have been friendly and efficient, getting customers through quickly. Once inside, the fun decor and the mouthwatering display of goodies enhance the experience. I'm looking forward to visiting again when the sweet cravings hit.
Very good donuts, very nicely decorated, it seems like they're on social media a lot lately. Service was nice, but I do want to mention that we purchased five donuts and it seems like he wanted us to buy even more. They were delicious, but A little bit more expensive than the average donut place. I try to visit there, as I'm driving down Santiago Canyon Road. I may go back next time and give feedback on their coffee.
This place is home. Alan, Mimi, bless you both. Came here after 48 hours in hospital while my wife was in labor -- came to give the nurses some mochi donuts. 12 hours later, my daughter was born. Some credited the doctors, most credited my wife, but i credit friendlys!!! Came back the next day and got the nurses even more donuts.. This place is just the best - vegan friendly and truly next level Alan i appreciate you brother!!
AMAZED AND AMAZING!!! First Timer (03.23.2026) at this place and I was very IMPRESSED!!! Of course, twas via social media that we heard of this place. Trying it out was right out of the park and I am glad we did. Location on Chapman has a uniqueness to it. Building has a happy feel to it, very well maintained and has ample parking. Walking into a field of donuts that looked all delicious was pretty awesome. This place has a huge selection of donuts and they were so colorful. In addition to this, there's a drink (coffee and blended) and food (breakfast croissants, bagels and sandwiches). selection. Super fast and friendly service from Aryll (I believe that was his name) which I appreciate. I loved loved loved the Sausage, Egg and Cheese Bagel. It was so good. I also had the Vietnamese coffee, which I honestly thought was just ok but that's cool (now I know). Of course, had to get a few donuts for later. Thank you so much Friendly Donuts, the experience was a pleasant one and I intend to be a returning guest. Keep up the great work with this place. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place if you are in the area. I have no doubt it WILL NOT disappoint.
I mean I get it. It's trendy. The quality of the bacon is not great. Referring to the maple bacon donut. Bacon is of the cheapest quality. The white chocolate guava is too sweet with little to no flavor of guava in their mochi donut. I went with expectations of better flavors and quality but came back home with 2 out of five selections that I didn't eat or enjoy. Service is good plenty of help at 7am
Friday night got a whole lot friendlier after stopping by Friendly Donuts for a box of goodies. Got excited pulling into the parking lot because how else are you supposed to feel when about to indulge in some donuts. Storefront is super cute with fun art and color schemes. Immediately ate with my eyes when I saw the variety of sweet treats hosted across the shelves. Went for a glazed old fashioned and glazed cruller. Loved both. Pricing is all reasonable considering the quality and freshness. Caleb was amazing and made an already enjoyable experience even better. Pro tip: come towards the end of the day and they may throw in a few extra goodies on the house. Really happy Friendly Donuts is only 13 mins from home but that can also be dangerous. Will absolutely be back.
I absolutely love friendly donuts! They are delicious and the staff is always so nice. I especially love that they carry gluten friendly donuts because my dear sister is severely allergic to gluten and when she comes to visit, we always make it a point to stop by! Thank you for being so amazing!

Honestly, I love this place! My absolute favorite is the Flan Donut and their custard-filled donuts -- they're delicious. The staff was super nice and welcoming. The employee kept checking in and reminding me that if I needed anything, just let her know. That kind of kindness really makes a difference! The shop itself is really cute and cozy -- honestly a great spot to take your S/O on a little date. The ambience is bright, inviting, and feels so welcoming. Also, big bonus: they stay open until 12:00 AM, which is perfect for late-night cravings! read more

Visited Friendly Donuts for the first time a couple weekends ago and so glad I did! This is the cutest shop and they really have quite the assortment of donuts. Grabbed my go-to (maple bar), tiger tail for my husband (huge donut btw), and we asked the gentleman helping us what other donuts he recommends and he recommended the French creme donut. Definitely would not have been my first choice since the amount of creme in that bad boy was intimidating, but it ended up being delightful! Also, since it was our first time he threw in a glazed donut for free! Such a nice gesture! I can't wait to go back and try their dossants and coffee! See ya soon Friendly Donuts! read more

Love this spot! The donuts at Friendly Donuts are super tasty, and massive! They have seasonal donuts, they come up with fun new flavors, and everything I've tried so far has been amazing. Just make sure to go early because the seasonal ones are limited each day and only around for a short time. Their drink menu is solid too. I'm a big fan of the einspänner, it's the first time I ever tried one and i'm hooked. The inside is really cute too, lots of d donut merch and there's plenty of seating, and parking is super easy. read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally got to try it after hiking in the area on Saturday. This place has a small private lot which Is a plus. There was also a photo ops area on the left side of the store when you walk in. There was a good selection of donuts and some seasonal flavors as well. Service was good as I was acknowledged as soon as I walked in. My friend wanted to try an apricot donut but that wasn't in season. I ended up trying the earl grey milk tea donut. To my surprise it wasn't too sweet or overwhelming which I liked! Wanted to try others but nothing really stood out or they all looked super sweet. I'd probably not go out of my way to come here unless there was a specific flavor that I really want to try or get. read more

I've been here a few times now. I like the variety of donuts they carry and the rotations they do every month. Donut quality is good and the staff is friendly. I like the aesthetic of the business as well. I decided to try their strawberry matcha and sadly it's not a drink I'd recommend. Way way too sweet and the matcha got lost by all the milk and strawberry flavoring. Do try the donuts though! read more

Ask the Community - Friendly Donuts
Any seed oils used?
Sorry I didn't ask. I don't know but they're really good. It's vegan
Do the vegan donuts have soy in them?
Hi Mary, we do have soy in our products. Let us know if any other allergies we should be aware of ! Thanks !
Do they have the viral spiral crossiants here?
They did when I went in May, but they sell out quickly. I think you can always call and ask when the next batch will be ready.
What's the best time of day to come to get the freshest donuts?
What kind of sugar & salt is used in the vegan donuts?
Are the mochi donuts gluten free & vegan?
Vegan, but contain wheat. So not gluten-free
Gluten free donuts?
Do you guys have donuts that are both gluten and vegan?
they said they have them on the weekends!!
Do they have a nutrition chart?
I don't believe I have seen one. I'm going to say no but you could always call and ask. They are very very friendly there!
Are there any vegan donuts that also have no vanilla. I'm also allergic to vanilla 😩?
I'm not sure but they're super nice, they could maybe accommodate that for you. Worth a shot to call and ask.
How much are the mochi donuts? I am looking for a few dozen for a drive thru bday party.
About $28.
Are you guys open on Christmas?
We are open 24 hours Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we are open till 3PM.
Have they added any vegan donuts to the menu?
They just recently put up a sign saying "Vegan donuts". So yes, I believe they do.
Do you carry any gluten free donuts?
I called them and they said they don't at the moment. But they are working on a recipe!
What is ube?
Ube is a purple yam -- It has a smooth texture and a mild, sweet flavor that has been compared to white chocolate or a cross between vanilla and pistachio. That beautiful purple color is its natural color.
