One of my favorite donut shops. My family has been coming to this donut shop for longer than I can remember. It's one of the most affordable options for breakfast sandwiches and coffee. I usually get 4 breakfast sandwiches, 1/2 dozen donuts, and 1-2 ice coffees and the total is around $50. The donuts are delicious and they have a wide variety of options. They always have exceptional service and try to get your food out to you as quickly as they can. They also have created a very friendly environment and as you order there is always regulars coming in an out and having conversations with the staff. It really is a small business I'm happy to continually support. read more

I'm from Chicago and they no longer sell buttermilk donuts in my city (as far as I can tell). I thought I could only find my favorite donuts at Poster's Donuts in Pasadena, CA. But, then I found Gladstone Donut House when Poster's was closed. Not only was Gladstone's open past 2pm (Poster's), it was open all day and evening! Plus, my fav donuts were there! The lady behind the counter was very sweet and generously when I told her I came all the way to Pasadena to find my fav donuts. She gave me two bonus donuts after I bought her remaining 4 glazed buttermilk donuts and 4 apple fritters. I'll definitely go back! read more

You wanted a great donut and this is the place. One of the best in SGV, if not LA. The apple fritter is exceptional - lots of apple chunks, not too sweet, crispy outside and edges and tender moist on the inside. *chefs kiss* More than the donuts, the service is incredibly exceptional. Friendly, kind, patient, thoughtful. AND, they survived pandemic and have been wonderful community supporters in the post-Eaton fire period. They are only 2 blocks away from burned down homes and buildings. Help them and help Altadena/Pasadena restore and revive.. come to Gladstones Donuts and your heart and your stomach will be glad you did!! read more

I think the donuts here are comparable to most of the mom and shop places, you can get the classic donuts here, nothing different or special, but good old fashion donut. I think for a dozen plain donuts, for 14 dollars, is a but pricey. Cash only, and the staff can hurry you. I asked for a chocolate donut glazed donut, and she kept saying the maple, was chocolate... I have been eating donuts for a long time, and i know the difference between a chocolate donut and a glazed one. Im also bias, because i have been to a lot of donut shops, where the staff is super nice, like you buy a dozen, and they give you one extra or a couple donut holes, and this is not one of those shops..... I know they are family shop, but i think Pronto Donuts, or B&C Donuts in Pasadena, or Randys give you a better experience. But if you next to Gladstones and want a classic Donut, Go for it! read more

They have a great variety of pastries and donuts. They were out of blueberry donuts so i tried the crumb donut. It was so fresh and delicious! I also got a cappuccino - they offer vanilla or mocha. I tried vanilla but was a bit too sweet for my taste.i don't regret stumbling across here for their donut tho. It was great!! And the staff was so friendly. read more

I came here for the blueberry glazed donuts, and I was not disappointed. Never tried or even seen blueberry glaze at a mom & pop donut shop before, so I was super excited about that. They have multiple flavors of glaze that are less frequently offered, one that I saw that day was strawberry. I only tried the blueberry, though. My date just grabbed a donut that was eclair-shaped with chocolate frosting and no filling and a coffee. He noted that the chocolate glaze here is milkier than chocolate glazes elsewhere. As in not as dark, not in reference to the consistency. The coffee was good, I guess, as I didn't drink it and he finished it without commenting on it. Just remember to bring cash because it's cash only and I didn't check that before...thankfully I had just enough to cover it but I was about to be super disappointed. read more

Omg these donuts are seriously bomb.... if you like soft, chewy donuts.... which I do! We had a fire safety workshop at my office a few months back and our building manager bought like 6 dozen donuts for everybody. My husband and I thought maybe they came from Winchell's and tried some donuts from there but nope, not the same. I emailed management asking where they got their donuts and she told me they came from Gladstone :) We went in yesterday morning and bought half a dozen to try some different flavors. The cinnamon roll bun thing is not included in the price of 1/2 dozen, but at $6.90 after tax for 7 BIG donuts, it's a steal. The two ladies working there were so friendly! Go early if you don't want to miss out on certain flavors as they do sell out by 11am. read more

Clean neighborhood donut shop with a great selection. I was mostly here in a quest to satisfy my strange craving for an apple fritter, but once I was here picked up a several extra to bring to work as well. Thankfully my apple fritter pilgrimage was successful, and it was one of the most massive, juiciest, and perfectly glazed apple fritters I could've imagined. Generous glaze, succulent little apple pieces and nice crispy edges. Easily worth the short jaunt into north Pasadena, the apple fritter was everything my taste buds had ever wanted. The other donuts were solid - I'm sure some people would prefer this but I thought they were quite cakey and a bit scant on the icing. Still very fresh however and thankfully without that overly deep-fried nasty flavor. We cut them into small quarters so we could sample several, and my colleagues had no issues gobbling everything up. read more

Best donuts in Pasadena. This is a quintessential Los Angeles donut shop. Biting into their donuts is like biting into a fluffy cloud of sweetness. They taste so delicious. My absolute favorite is the glaze twist, then the chocolate glazed, but they have plenty of options, and also breakfast sandwiches. The service is so kind and pleasant. The ambiance is an old school donut shop from the early 2000s and the experience to having a donut as a kid. I've never been able to find a donut shop that tasted like they did from my childhood until coming here. If you like krispy kreme melt-in-your-mouth donuts, this place is even better because they're more airy and not overpoweringly sugary. I love this place! read more

Yes, the apple fritter is good. Real good, but not the best. The rest of the donuts are what you will find in any donut shops, none looked enticing enough, so i just went with the fritter. Prices well for the size at $1.30 it was huge, fresh, crunchy and filled with real apple chunks, nice.

Welcome to Gladstone, the neighborhood Donut House. How many I Yelp you? Open the door at the corner and walk in. Before you are the large glass cases of what could be considered health food if you stretch the definition. Donuts of many varieties call out to you. Very affordable, so your wallet can handle several, even if your stomach can't. And on your right: apple fritters and cinnamon rolls as large as a 45rpm record. Both are thick and look juicy. This author left with a cinnamon roll. Or maybe you don't want to leave right away. Plenty of tables to sit at and newspapers to peruse. The cinnamon roll was moist, good texture, with a strong cinnamon flavor to it. Something that you want to take your time to eat. As large as it is, you don't have a choice: you must take your time. Then you do something that this author cannot do, seeing that I live 375 miles to the north: go to Gladstone Donut House again. And again. And again. And again . . . read more
