Amazing vegan donut choices and not to mention the coffee Service was fast and they brightened the customers morning Lots of space to sit and enjoy your donut and coffee. Totally recommend it!

Matcha Latte
Sara G.

I'm a happy regular. I work in the area Tuesdays and Thursdays and this is my afternoon pick me up. Mimi has got my drink order down, blueberry almond milk matcha latte iced. Starbucks can't compare! I originally came in because they have mochi donuts on their menu. I went through all the flavors and taste tested them with the boyfriend since they were his current favorite treat. When the kick moved on, I started trying the matcha lattes. Gotta say the blueberry is the best, it's like fruity pebbles. They have much more in store in drinks and treats. I've come in and a man was sharing his guilty pleasure with coworkers and had ordered a mixed box of donuts. Oh the choices! Beautifully made with great pricing. Definitely a gem to local business and the community.

Friendly Donuts is some of the best! We have been here only a few times, but I have always left happy! They are open 24 hours and they are known to offer many VEGAN options. This is great for those with food allergies. The location is well lit and has a decent size parking. The inside has bench seating and nice decor for photo ops. The staff here were efficient and hospitable. On a recent late night visit we scooped up a few vegan donuts and pastries for my wife and I saw a Dubai Chocolate I could not pass up! The vegan donuts all tasted great and that Dubai one was amazing. I love coming out here to Friendly Donuts for a delicious treat and because my wife can enjoy an array of vegan donut selections. Thanks, Friendly Donuts! ( ^_^)b

Mochi Dozen

Orange County, meet your new local donut dealer. Friendly is not the only good thing about this donut joint. What's also excellent is the variety of delicious donuts they have to offer. Donuts, cronuts, and mochi donuts .. Friendly Donuts has got them all. And the best part? They are very affordable compared to other fancy donut shops around. I came to pick up a dozen donuts to take to a friend's house this morning. I decided to upgrade to a dozen mochi donuts when I found out a dozen was only $32. I've tried donuts here in the past to know that they are tasty as well. In a time when most prices are inflated, I appreciate that Friendly Donuts has kept their prices fair. That mixed with a variety of scrumptious donuts and friendly service, you have found your new local donut dealer!

The Rizz approves! Donuts are fun and lots of different options. Staff is also very friendly.

Over a decade ago I went to Friendly Donuts in Orange and I was so underwhelmed. Recently when my boyfriend mentioned seeing Friendly Donuts from a YouTuber he follows, I was open to trying it again. It's been so long. I was rooting for them to improve. I was optimistic as we pulled up into their little parking lot. There was a lot of improvements to the donut shop. Definitely new paint, new fun back drop, a wide selection when we came during the weekend. We ordered a Canadian Favorite ($4.50), a Pistachio Donut ($3.25), a Maple Cruller (Promo $1), and a Dozen Donut Holes ($4). We were full from lunch but we wanted to try the donut holes right away.. .. .. ugh... disappointment... so dense. Not a fan. My boyfriend ate the pistachio donut said it was not bad, better than the donut holes. His theory is maybe they do better cake donuts than yeast donuts. I microwaved the Canadian favorite which is the maple with the bacon and it wasn't hard since it was warm, flavor was good but just about as good as all the other donut shops. Oh the seating the did have along the side of the little shop was a bit tight and the surface could use some cleaning. It had a lot of donut crumbles from previous patrons. I feel like the latest visit is a smidge better than my last visit. I do see improvements but I wouldn't go out of my way for this place. It's probably an okay option for locals. And I still don't feel like they're friendly... sorry when you name your place friendly donuts, you set up expectations for your staff to be friendly.

Another stop before returning to San Diego. What a great selection!

Stopped by Friendly Donuts on my way back home from a road trip. I'm so glad we stopped, because they had a nice selection of vegan donuts for my son and regular donuts for myself. Every donut we tried was delicious. I like that the donuts do not taste artificial and the flavors really come through! My favorite donut flavor as the Ube! Very clean inside and staff were helpful plus friendly!

bThey have so many unique , regular and vegan, donuts, + friendly staff. Good matcha, too! I'll be back soon to see what they've come up with.

Glazed, blueberry fritter, animal cookie, Nutella dossant
Elizabeth C.

This place is amazing! Steven answered so many questions about all the different donuts and helped direct our choices. My daughter loved her animal cookie donut and the Nutella strawberry dossant was bomb!

Tiramisu donut
S D.

Delish donuts & very creative flavors. Some of our favs are their French cream, tiramisu, flan donuts, Boston cream, and the mochi donuts! And so many more- chef creations & classic donuts- something for everyone. Love our local donut shop! Definitely worth a visit.

The dough isn't too sweet, but isn't as airy as some of the other donuts I've had in OC. I can see why it's rated higher than Oliboli donuts. The maple donut frosting is out of this world good. Long John's were more airy than the main circular donuts . Cake donuts dry

Such a cute spot!
Rebecca G.

Awesome donut shop! The cutest yummiest donuts! And everyone is so friendly! My kids and I love this place for a special treat. They also have gluten free donuts and mochi donuts.
