Donuts matter to me. I mean, like, a lot. Maybe too much. They're pretty much on my mind all the time. I don't really care about Politics. I care even less about Sports. What I care about is Donuts. And I'm here to tell you, these are the Best Donuts in Ventura. I've been a customer here for 24 years now. In that time I've sampled donuts from more than a dozen other places around town and I've never found any better than the donuts from KD Donuts. The donuts here are far superior to Rolling Pin. I'll die on that hill. And don't come at me with Krispy Kreme or any other corporate junk, because hell nah. This is a local, family owned and run business.. You can read all about it in my previous review. It's an interesting backstory. As to why I say these are the Best Donuts in Ventura: The benchmark I use for comparing donuts is a white cake donut with chocolate icing, topped with sprinkles. Whenever I hit up a new donut shop, that's the first thing I try. The one they sell here reigns Supreme! Other highly recommended donuts here are the Apple Fritters, the Buttermilk Bars and the Old Fashioned (Chocolate, Glazed or Plain). I like that the donuts here are traditional donuts. The kind you can take a dozen of to work with you and you can be sure everyone will love. None of that $5/donut ridiculousness over here. Most here are $1.75, including Small Apple Fritters and Small Cinnamon Rolls. The large size of the fritters and cinnamon rolls, along with the Blueberry Fritter, Bear Claws and Filled Donuts will set you back $2.75 each. That's fair! So, if you are looking for some really great donuts and love to support a great little local owned business, I highly recommend you hit up KD Donuts! Mikey C says: Best Donuts in Ventura! read more

GETTING HERE: Located on Telegraph Road, next door to DV's Mexican Grill. REVIEW: If you know, you know. Am I right? I am hit and miss with donuts, but since I am a frequent customer of the business located next door, I knew that on my most recent trip I had to stock up on some yummy donuts from KD's. Unfortunately, I don't have a comparison visit prior to c 1 9. Presently, there is a small area inside if you wanted to stay to snack, but for myself I placed my order to-go. Also, they have a drive-up! For donuts! Can you imagine? Next time I will do a drive-through to get my fresh donuts. I got a variety of items because donuts. They were so fresh and light some of them broke apart on the way home (oops!). I love that KD's has a bulletin board of biz cards of small businesses. What a way to give back! Bravo! Such kind and polite service. Much appreciated and highly recommended. :) Thank you! read more

My children and I swung by KD Donuts around 3 o'clock for an afternoon snack. There was a full selection and the quality of the donuts remained outstanding. The service was quick and efficient, and although the shop is small, there's a cozy dining area available. Situated centrally in Ventura, KD Donuts offers no-frills goodness at a reasonable price. A dozen mixed donuts for $16 is a steal considering their consistently delicious taste. Overall, KD Donuts is our go-to spot for delectable treats and prompt service. read more

Spell delicious when walking up to the door as expected. Cute local shop, lots of nice donut options for great prices. Only sad thing was at least the time that I went. They did not have multiple different kinds of donut holes. They also have a drive-through which is pretty cool. Donuts were tasty. read more

Delicious! Opened a little for us (night shift). Was our first time and didn't disappoint. Thank you for the yummy donuts, night snack and morning fuel! read more

I pre ordered glazed donuts for my daughters classroom to celebrate her birthday. This couple is so kind I love supporting local business! The donuts were delicious as always! They have the best glazed donut holes!!The drive thru is so convenient! read more

We had absolutely no idea that KD Donuts would totally ruin us for other donuts... forever. We had one of those crazy moves, and needed a whole bunch of donuts for the whole bunch of people who helped us. KD was near our new place, so we bought about five dozen assorted. We never even had to get out of the car which was great because at 7am, we were already exhausted. The box they came in wasn't printed with a name, but all the local movers knew they were KD just from the insanely fresh delicousness. One bite and we were instant believers, too. Listen, I don't care which one you pick, what flavor, which filling - these babies are always soft, warm and comforting - anytime of day or night. Boy, now I'm really, really craving an old-fashioned. See ya there! read more

Sweetest staff ever. They will go above and beyond to make sure your taste buds are satisfied. Love the 24 hour drive thru along with the home like interior. Prices are just as amazing as the employees I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

Best Donut shop I've ever been to. Not only are the donuts always delicious and better than any chain or any trendy donut shop, They have a vibe that is unmatched. Open 24/7, they always hook up extra donuts if you go late in the evening and reasonably priced. This Mom and Pop has been my go to since I was a kid going to elementary school. read more

The perfect spot for those late night donut cravings. They actually have the fluffiest glazed donuts I've ever had. And their prices are great! I think it's just awesome to have a drive-through. Talk about giving people what they need! So you are in and out with the goods. read more

First I'll start by saying the place was clean and at 3 pm on a Saturday they had customers driving through their drive thru. My friend and I decided to do a taste comparison of maple bars and glazed donuts of two local donut spots. We randomly chose KD Village Donuts and Sun Village Donuts. The difference: APPEARANCE: SV- fresher looking & perky, maple was not as thick as KD. Normal size KD - droopy (could be because of the weight/size), maple was thicker on donut, very big TASTE: SV: buttery, maple tasted the same on both KD: you can taste the oils aftertaste, and it was a little crispy outside because of the oil FLUFFLINESS/DENSITY: SV: lighter and less dense KD: slightly dense SWEETNESS: SV: Less sweet than KD, still sweet. KD: very sweet, especially the glaze. SIZE: SV: Normal size KD: very large donuts WINNER OF MAPLE BARS: Sun Village Donut WINNER OF GLAZED: Sun Village Donut Side note, my friend also got the very large cinnamon twist from KD and it had minimal cinnamon. read more

Very good service, fast yummy fresh donuts, croissant, bagels, other pastry and coffee! Croissant ham n cheese, other breakfast items too..juices etc. Try it if you live in ojai valley... no other place like it in the area read more

Donuts were under cooked. Not to my liking. Wouldn't go back. Ohhh but very inexpensive so there's that!

The donuts are really good and very affordable. I would even be happy to pay more if I could sit and enjoy them instead of having to go into my car five years after Covid. But as the sign says inside, no seating due to Covid, so unfortunately, it's a grab and go. read more

A new experience, drive through donuts at night. Nice, friendly people. The chocolate chip roll was delicious at a fair price. Two thumbs up! read more

Best donuts! Dough is lovely!! The chocolate icing is perfect!! Still good days later! Friendly service! read more

KD Donuts has tasty donuts at reasonable prices. Every restaurant and eatery I know of has experienced a big increase in prices over the last five years, but KD's prices are not as shocking as many places, and their donuts are awesome! Their raised donuts have a light, pillowy texture that keeps people coming back for more. They didn't have a huge selection when I went there around noon, but that's to be expected. The choices they had were delicious, even if I would like them a little less sweet. When in Ventura, check them out. read more

Updating my review because the owners couldn't be nicer. I don't know if it's the same family as it was 8 years ago but something has changed. So kind. So delicious. Don't forget about KD! read more

KD Donuts - the front of the store - Donuts Near Me - Ventura, California

Was in town for vacation and came in to get a doughnut after hearing the raving reviews. Witnessed the proprietor berate and treat a customer poorly simply because of how they looked. Completely ruined my mood and the doughnuts themselves looked to be caked in frying oil from what I witnessed. If you can't even treat people decently why bother being in the service industry at all. read more

Perfect in every way! Moist as a cupcake, thin crispy finish. GO. THERE. NOW. 24 hours a day, tiny drive up window.

Tasty and fresh donuts. Nice variety of donuts. We enjoyed the bear claw, apple fritter and jelly donuts.

I've always liked this donut place. I noticed how hard the owners work and they always throw in free donuts to try to be nice. They have drive thru and its easily walkable. The chocolate bar donut with the chocolate chips and chocolate inside is the best. They have a good variety, and all the donuts are good. read more

My donuts were cold, and they were definitely not fresh. I threw them away. Yuck. I'd recommend Thompson Donuts by Vons better. They're much nicer there, too. Also, if you have a service animal, don't come here. I heard the lady tell someone, "don't bring your animal here.... Go, go, go!" Just an FYI unless you can do the drive thru to avoid this. But I'd recommend to not come at all. Not worth it. Waste of money for garbage donuts. read more

My Go-to donut shop for like 25 years. Great folks, great donuts. Raised glaze are fluffy and light. Buttermilk bars have the right crunch outside and fluffy inside. Old fashioned, Cinnamon rolls, and Blueberry cake are other favs, but you can't go wrong whatever you choose. Truly finger lickin' good! read more

Their doughnuts are so good and I always get boxes of them for the office. There service is good u can always walk in or go through the drive threw read more

The BEST donuts by far!! Every experience has over delivered in both donut quality and service. Highly recommend you check them out. Plus, there's a drive-thru! read more

The minute you walk in you know the doughnuts are fresh. The shop is very clean. We tried the raised frosted and an apple fritter. Delicious. They taste extremely fresh and I could tell they change the fry oil because it didn't taste like stale oil which is an issue with some shops. Prices are reasonable. Great job KD! I will return. read more

Down in Ventura for a morning event and decided to go with a local business instead of going to something like Starbucks. Maybe I have had bad luck but I feel that the large raised donuts were way underdone read more

Excellent donuts.... Love their custard filled, my husband the ham & cheese croissants, and old-fashioned donuts. Great customer service. We used to live in Ventura then moved to Bullhead City Arizona where there are no good donut shops. Every time we come to visit the grandkids we always take home donuts with us. read more
