Love Happy Donuts! And so do my students! Quick friendly service and I love the variety, freshness, and size of the donuts that I get for my students as a treat. I order ahead for bigger amounts and just swing by to pick up. Quaint little shop that's clean, airy and bright. Parking is tricky when it gets busy but street parking is readily available. Definitely recommend getting your donuts here! read more

Donuts sizes have declined with the new owners. The donuts have shrunk in size by an estimated 20%. Previously cinnamon rolls, apple fritters were large. Now they are the size of what the donuts used to be. In addition their selection has decreased significantly in the later morning suggesting they are not making enough donuts. The stock on hand before would last until mid-afternoon. I'm searching for a new donut place. I've found one but it's in Pasadena so I only go there occasionally. Happy Donut is walking distance but I'd rather drive than get disappointed. read more

I love how they have holiday donuts! Perfect for parties! I can't say how it tastes like but the prices are decent, the service and parking are great, and the workers are so nice! read more

Stop to buy 2 dozen donuts for a local rehab center. Service was great. Very good assortment of all donuts. I will go backnext week.

My dentist suggested that I should try Happy Donut. She said it's been here for many years and it's yummy. I stopped by the other day and I found parking right in front of the shop. When I stopped by later in the day, there isn't a large selection of donuts to choose from. I bought chocolate, maple bar and lemon filled donut. They are all good. Reminds me of donut shops back in the day. I saw photos online that they sell holiday donuts. Halloween is coming up and I can't wait to stop by to see if they have any. Might be a good idea to bring a box to work! read more

Open super early and they do serve some of the best donuts I've ever had. I've been eating donuts all my life and this place has the supreme quality and it's like so low key. The dough is soft and stretchy on the yeast donuts and not too sweet on the cake donuts. If you wanna impress your coworkers or something, I recommend this place. Been a regular for many years. read more

Stopped in while we were waiting for nearby boba to be made. My husband ordered crumb bear claw, glazed buttermilk and blueberry cake. He really enjoyed the donuts. I had a bite and thought it was pretty good too. We spoke with the person helping us and he mentioned they'd been in business since 1989 I believe he said. read more

On a Wednesday morning in February, I was craving for a donut at 7am. As I walked inside, I see array of donuts and croissants looking at me. The counter lady was nice and placed my fresh donuts in the bag. At the counter they now accept credit cards which is new. Sometimes it's hard to carry cash so I am glad for new addition. The donut was fresh and yummy. read more

Happy Donut - Ham, turkey and cheese - Donuts Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Such a great little mom-and-pop donut shop that serves some pretty rocking donuts! They always have a large variety of donuts that come in all shapes, sizes, colors and flavors. Everything is always fresh and does not taste like leftover donuts. I always go for a dozen of their donuts, and sometimes feel adventurous enough to let them pick out what they'd like for me! It never disappoints, and I know that what they give each time will be super delicious. I've tried their blueberry donuts, regular glazed donuts, red velvet donuts, maple bars and bear claws. Each one is a tasty journey through donut heaven, and will satisfy your sweet tooth cravings just perfectly. The owner, Vanessa, is such a sweet person who has always made me feel welcomed at her shop and I can taste the love and hard work she pours into her donuts! Go and support this shop,it's so worth it and will be worth coming back more than once! read more

There's been several occasions where staff or family members have brought several donuts from Happy Donut to our facility, allowing me to be able to try an assortment of their donuts. The sugar donut and cinnamon crumb are both always very good, but they have a wide assortment of other donuts that I didn't know they had! Happy Donut is inside the Tea Maru plaza. Parking was super hard to find back when Tea Maru was Sharetea, but now there's a good amount of parking spots due to the stay at home orders. There's also a ton of street parking if the plaza does get too busy. I stopped by before heading into work to grab some donuts for my coworkers and luckily there was a good assortment available despite the many customers. Ended up ordering an assorted dozen and half a dozen where I was able to pick from the more generic donuts. Price was around $11-12 for a dozen and maybe a little more than $5 for six donuts. I was pleasantly surprised they had a blueberry and strawberry glazed donut that tasted pretty delicious. As for the other ones - strawberry, coconut, glazed, etc. everybody liked them. The woman helping me (I believe the owner) was friendly and quick - felt like she was rushing just a tad as she didn't hear my specific requests for certain donuts. But no matter because everything was tasty. tl;dr - A great place to stop by for all your donut needs. They also serve croissants, sandwiches, fruit, and coffee. read more

OMG donuts amazing. I'll admit the donuts look a little messy, smaller, and not very neat, but oh my goodness they are so tasty. Just the right sweetness, light not heavy, but they have this incredible flavor. They are doing everything right. I've been eating donuts for 55 years and these donuts are at a whole other level. Going back ASAP!!!!!!! read more

This place has definitely improved over the last few years and now, it's one of my favorite go to places for Mom and Pop donut shops around my area. I'm a fan of the $1.25 Chocolate Twist! Fluffy on the outside, sometimes a little crispy around the edges and topped with a good amount of chocolate glaze, yes!!! Even my Supervisor brings donuts from here, and it's pretty good, but generally, my eyes zero in on either the twist or maple bars (gotta be quick in getting those, lol!). The Owner Rose is a sweet lady. I've interacted with her a couple of times for my morning donut runs. Her other Staffers are nice too (but they usually take over the afternoon shifts). Definitely a fan and looking forward to many more donuts here! read more

Kind, friendly, family owned donut shop. As our local go-to for donuts, we've tried every single one of their donut offerings. Always fresh and delicious! They have other breakfast offerings there worth checking out as well. I highly recommend! read more

I pick up donuts and croissants from here before heading into work. I always make sure to call in ahead my order so it's ready to go when I get there. I love the ham and cheese croissants here. They're huge! They're a big hit with people at work as well. Very flakey and delicious. One time, over the phone, I asked if they can make a medium coffee with extra cream for me, when I got there, I saw a cup with cream sitting there and the owner (I'm assuming) made sure to not pour the coffee until I was there - because she wanted it to be hot. That special care was appreciated. I can definitely see myself as a regular read more

One of my favorite things to eat are donuts. Happy Donuts has some of the freshest donuts around! This donut shop is one of my favorites! They make delicious donuts that taste amazing! I love to eat their maple bars. They are a little bigger than your average maple bars. Plus, they are reasonably priced. When you make good donuts you don't need to do anything special. read more

Happy Donut - Maple bacon bar... delicious! - Donuts Near Me - San Gabriel, California

This is strictly a review their cinnamon roll. At $2.95, it is pricier than others in the area. The taste is good though. Not as robust as other places but it avoids tasting too greasy, and the cinnamon comes through well. read more

Happy Donuts, Grumpy Employees. Big fan of the doughnuts, not a big fan of the customer service. Not once did I feel welcome once my daughter and I walked in. The young lady behind the counter was impatient as my daughter and I were trying to make our selections, which made us feel rushed. After I paid I don't even know where she placed our bag because I accidentally grabbed someone else's order. In other reviews folks have mentioned the owners were very friendly, but that was not the case for us. read more

This place has the best Boba experience in the area. Super friendly staff. Made me feel right at home. The Boba is fresh and chewy. So many options... The Crussants and sandwiches are my favorite. Very fun to sit around and talk. read more

The Halloween themed donuts were fun. Definitely somewhere I'd like to go when I'm around the area craving desert.

I traveled across country by road and stopped by plenty of well known or hidden local hole in the wall spots. It's funny that when I finally found a place to settle down I was blessed to live walking distance from the WORLDS GREATEST DONUTS. This little husband and wife owned business has changed my opinion on what a donut should taste like. Fresh, airy, crunch, rich in flavors. There hasn't been 1 I've yet not to like. My favorite is the bear claw and if your a maple lover the maple donut stick is superb. The owners are always delightful and are so grateful of any customers business. 10s. Also their always made fresh to order homemade sandwiches are great. read more

Good donuts made by nice people. Nice neighborhood spot, small shopping center but there was plenty of parking. Can get pretty busy!

Always has been the best donuts. I use them often for events at school. The donuts are always fresh and very tasty. The owners are very friendly and always are welcoming! Much better than those fancy chain donut places. Plus they make great breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches! Try them out. read more

I was craving donuts so I went in around 7:30pm not expecting the donuts to be fresh cuz its kinda late, but boy was I wrong! I got the chocolate glazed, original glazed, and a crueller and it was so fluffy and soft and delicious! I'll definitely come back when Im in the area/craving donuts. Also I was surprised at the price lol not expensive at all! read more

On busy Las Tunas Blvd., it's easy to watch the storefronts flanking each side of the ride blend together as one motors down the road past mini-shopping centers, restaurants, and businesses... which is to say, if you blink, you may miss Happy Donut if you aren't paying attention. For the donut-phile, this would be unfortunate, as Happy Donut's name is twice-correct: Fresh, sweet offerings, delicious sandwiches, and hot coffee, all served with a smile by the proprietors. While the donut case is not as large as some shops, the selection is varied enough for most everyone to find their sugary jam. As is my diet self-sabotage routine, I opted for a chocolate old fashioned and an apple fritter, with a big coffee... like Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction: "lotsa cream, lotsa sugah." Everything was the right amount of great. The old fashioned was still a little warm inside, and the fritter was generously poured. Plenty of parking in the smallish lot, and a steady flow of customers, served expeditiously by the kind-hearted gals behind the counter. Nota bene: proximity to a couple of schools makes this a place with students at the usual times before and after classes some days. Plan your sweet-tooth schedule accordingly. I like donuts...maybe too much? Happy Donut facilitates my occasional need to tempt fate with a chocolate smear on my tie as I walk into the office, balancing a coffee between my knees in the truck. Definitely stop by and support this local business, that has been doing just fine in the shadow of a 7-Eleven just a few doors down for a while now. read more

This is my go to donut shop. Donuts always taste great and fresh and service is always great!

I'd just finished dinner at the Golden Deli and saw the Happy Donut sign in the next parking lot. I thought I'd check it out and was really glad I did. First of all, I was happy they were still open. It was 8:30pm and they were still open and still had fresh donuts, and a pretty good selection for that late in the day. The donuts are delicious. I highly recommend the glaze twist donut. The bread has a really nice flavor, and it not overly sweet. Very nice texture. If you want to go cake donut, definitely go for the blueberry. It was a cake donut with blueberry frosting. I could eat a dozen of those!! They have seating if you want to eat your delicious donuts on the premises. A half dozen donuts were $4.75. Great deal for great donutes. The owner, Vanessa is really nice. She told me it's been family owned for over 30 years. If you have a hankerin' for a good donut, Happy Donut will make you happy! read more

I came across this donut shop during my commutes to work. This review is solely for the donuts. Super friendly and fast service. They always have a line but it moves quickly.
