    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!!

    First time stopping by and it was delicious. Chase was a great helper and welcoming. My favorite was banana pudding. I'll definitely be coming back.

    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.

    Cute place and clean. They have a lot of selection of donut they're really yummy . I'm eating one right now with raspberry on top. Service I forgot that nice friendly girl that helped she have a positive vibe I told her to keep it up.

    Amazing donuts, amazing staff (shout out to Alex) and unlike any other donut shop you will ever visit.

    Love coming here for their monthly specials. The customer service is also always friendly and amazing. Their donuts are soft fluffy and so creative! I also tried their new drinks - favorite was the coco puffs coffee

    Victor R.

    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

    Amazing place, and ACTUALLY friendly :) Thank you for the delicious donuts! :) Cheburashkas enjoyed it very muchhhhhh!

    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!

    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.

Overall, they were tasty and were just as good as any other dessert places. It's a small place as any bakery normally is. You're in and out. Staff were welcoming, helpful, and friendly. For 4 cheesecakes and 2 cream pies, I was $50 out the door. Safe to say, this is a bit of a splurge. For a "healthier" alternative, I may end up here again. But to just be craving sweets, you'll find me somewhere else.

I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.
