Ordered an advertised Donut Bag on 9/13/25 ; Poster's Donuts cancelled my order on 9/14/25. No apologies, no consolation offer - just wait time before funds come back to my original charged account. They should have provided a consolation discount to keep customers engaged. Lame not coming back Moving on to more considerate/friendly businesses. read more

Poster's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Pasadena, California

The best donuts in SoCal. I've been going there since I was in my early 20's and they've not fallen off at all.

let me say, posture's donuts is by far the best donuts in Pasadena! I've tried all the donut shops in my area, including Sidecar Doughnuts that are way overpriced and not nearly as tasty as the donuts that I get at Posters!!! I stop in there every day first thing in the morning to pick up my doughnut and coffee. You cannot beat the price of the donuts and coffee. There also reasonably priced they don't overcharge like some of these other places and once again I have to say they are the freshest and tastiest donuts I've had! If you're looking for a good basic doughnut, you can't go wrong at posters!!! read more

I love Poster's buttermilk donuts and apple fritters! The one downside is that they close by 2pm. But, it does guarantee that I go early in the morning and get fresh donuts! The lady behind the counter is always friendly and smiles when I buy a dozen to take back home! read more

We are beyond grateful to Poster's Donuts for their generous donation of fresh, delicious donuts to the World Central Kitchen team and Maravilla Latin Cuisine during our wildfire response efforts. As we served meals to the Altadena community, their thoughtful gesture brought so much joy and warmth to everyone involved. The donuts were incredibly fresh, soft, and full of flavor--every bite was a sweet moment of comfort in the midst of long, emotional days. As the owner of the food truck supporting World Central Kitchen's mission, it meant so much to be on the receiving end of such kindness. Thank you, Poster's Donuts, for fueling the hearts of those who were out there serving. Your generosity made a real difference and reminded us of the beautiful power of community. read more

Poster's Donuts - Donuts!!! - Donuts Near Me - Pasadena, California

Donuts are so good but my favorite is the #11 which is a ham croissant with veggies, mayo, and jalapeño. Always hits the spot

I was feeling a little bummed after seeing that someone had decided to hit and run with my car in the morning. So I thought what better way to restart the day with some yummy donuts. Donuts is key to happiness. I work next to this place and never really thought anything of it because it's a small little hole in the wall. As soon I as I walked in I was greeted by both of the women there and they were so nice and friendly. I ordered a dozen donuts and a ham and cheese croissant sandwich) The donuts were nice and fresh and fluffy. The sandwich was your typical ham and cheese croissant sandwich but that shit was stacked. It was absolutely delicious. The perfect ratio of meat and veggies. This sandwich definitely has my heart. read more

Their breakfast croissants here are so good! The staff is also ALWAYS so friendly! It makes for a sweet start to the busy weekday mornings.

I ordered a bacon and egg breakfast croissant. It was very tasty. It also came with two donut holes. Very filling!

This place was perfect! I have all the amazing donuts, all the amazing drinks, wonderful prices, and the lady who runs it is absolutely a sweetheart! read more

First off I am handicapped with a cane. My 4YO son and I go in and ask if they accept EBT because they have a big red sign out front that says "EBT OK." My son really wants a donut and juice. I proceed to be screamed at by the Asian lady in the store. She was screaming "NO EBT! NO EBT!" I told her nicely that she should take the sign down. If she does not accept EBT then it is false advertising and against the law! She screamed and cursed me and my 4YO son only wanting to buy an apple juice. What kind of person works/owns/runs a store this way?! I had enough to pay cash but refuse to spend money with anyone who mistreats me this way, acting discriminatory against disabled people. read more

Great place and prices good breakfast sandwiches good services. Very fast .............. but the restaurant has no staff there is not even close and they don't know read more

My hairdresser was running late so I decided to grab a donut. I am sorry that I missed out on such moist donuts all these years. I never went here because it just did not look all that inviting. This is definitely a reason why I should not judge a book by its cover. I forgot how I usually get awesome food at numerous hole in the walls. This is not a hole in the wall. I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice assortment of beverages, sandwiches, smoothies and donuts. Since I purchased a chocolate cruller donut at 4 pm, I was not expecting a donut that was like it was freshly made. I was very HAPPY to devour my moist chocolate cruller while drinking my Kern's Guava Nectar. There was a regular customer that came in asking if it was donut day. I guess they have specials on certain days? After my pedicure and haircut, I plan to purchase donuts before I go home. read more

Gas there croissants with bacon egg and jalapeños is bomb as heck with the driftwood orange juice and the donut holes they give you along with your meal very tasteful read more

Stopped in for a standard yeast raised donut this morning, and I'm glad I did! This shop has the typical fare, and not the crazy concoctions you'll find elsewhere. That's a good thing though, because sometimes those shops suck at the basics lol. The prices are a drop in the bucket, so anyone can afford these; which is fantastic! The yeast raised donut was nearly perfect. It was the right amount of soft/pillowy on the inside, with an ever so slight crisp to the outside. The glaze didn't crack and crumble, and added the right amount of sweetness. It is definitely worth stopping by if you're a local or passing through. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I'm a maple bacon head, and was sad I didn't see anything with that savory goodness we call... B-A-C-O-N. Did I mention I like bacon? read more

very kind lady working there! prices were great and the donuts were super fluffy! I bought a dozen for my coworkers and they LOVED them

Best breakfast croissant sandwich ever . Add jalapeños and eggs and ham cheese so good

I've been on an independent donut bing. I was in the area and stopped to get two donuts a glazed and an old fashioned. I shared them with a coworker and he loved them and so did I, donuts these days aren't too sweet like they used to be. I can tell they are using less sugar and that makes for a better donut. read more

Poster's Donuts - Donuts Huhuhuhu! - Donuts Near Me - Pasadena, California

Those who are comparing this place to Krispy Kreme do not know what good donuts are. While it may not look very elegant from the outside, the product is grade A. The donuts are big, fresh, and have a great texture. The inside is soft and the glaze is never over powering. You have to get the crumb donut!!! Best crumb around. Seriously. I've also tried a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant (big!) and it was pretty good. Real egg and bacon! No nasty microwave crap. This place has been around forever and the workers are always very nice. They really know what they're doing with these donuts. And they have a great selection! I've tried other donuts in the area but it's just not the same. The texture is too dense, or it's too sweet, or the crumb on the crumb donuts is too coarse. They're alright, but just don't compare to Poster's. I recommend bringing cash. Avoid the credit card fee. It's only a few bucks anyways! read more

Poster's Donuts - Mmm crumb, glazed, sugar, cake.... - Donuts Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place has some pretty good reviews, a decent selection of the BASIC DONUTS, unfortunately for them this review is based off the one Apple Fritter I purchased. Apple Fritter - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/posters-donuts-pasadena-2#ot4zwww7z46GmqYyhDe5vg A bit sweet as it lacks in cinnamon and spice, it was also lacking apples which were limited to a few on top http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/posters-donuts-pasadena-2#x013HoR9TXUbkA1PUiiORA sorry NOT a good fritter at all. read more

Called the night before and placed a large order for 4 dozen mixed. They were ready for me in the morning and they threw in a bag full of donut holes. read more

Should've read the reviews before I came in to get my fix--halfway through the ham & cheese croissant I questioned whether I got the right one, which I did, but there was just almost no ham and cheese in it. I was also not told about the 75 cent charge for using a card and didn't realize it until I calculated my expenses as I was driving away. +1 star for the decent selection for an early morning and + 1 star for the friendly smile and hello from one of the employees. read more

I had to get three dozen donuts for our office to give the employees a little something-something to tie them down until we had a catered lunch later in the day. Before I showed up to Poster's I called them the day before to ask about pricing, as I had a budget to adhere to. We showed up the next morning and the lady behind the counter sounded like the same women I spoke to the day before (she works a lot of hours!). She helped us pick assorted donuts and it was priced at $8/Dozen. We bought three dozen and took them to our office. As I opened up the boxes in our lunchroom I could smell the freshness of the assorted flavors. I personally tried a Chocolate Bar Donut and I have to say, the flavor was on point and the moisture level was pretty much perfect. I'm glad that this place is close by my work because it's pretty nice to find a donut place that can satisfy that not-so-good fatty food craving we all love to munch on. I hate myself for not taking any pictures. You live and Yelp, I suppose! read more

I came here a week ago for the first time for donuts. The gentlemen behind the counter was very helpful and offered to try the bagel with cream cheese for $1.50. I did & it was great. I came back the following week to enjoy another bagel when it was a woman behind the counter this time. She came off rude grabbing a bag and waiting for me to order donits, when i said id like to have a bagel, she flipped grabbed the bagel, put in toaster and rang me me up at $4.75. When i asked her if she was ok, she repeated the price over and over again. She scared me and i immidiately walked away. No bagel. She was on a good one. read more

Maybe its just that I live closer to downtown L.A. or maybe I just haven't been lucky, but I was surprised to read that Poster's is considered expensive. They are pretty standardly priced compared to the places in K-Town that I frequent. I was actually extremely pleased with the selection and the taste here. They had a whole shelf of round cake donuts including chocolate with rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, plain, frosted, coconut etc. I didn't go in that early either. Around noon actually. Their other selections were also fully stocked and included bear claws, fritters, bars, twists, old fashioned, buttermilks, etc. All the usual suspects. The most important part was their taste. They were extremely fresh. It was later in their morning, they had been open for hours and usually donuts just sit there and get stale pretty fast. These were still VERY moist. If you like cake donuts like me, their orange frosted donut is killer. The orange ones, not the pink ones, are actually becoming rather rare. They are my favorite so now I know where to find them! The service was friendly and polite, the store was impeccably clean, the donuts were fresh and sooooooo tasty and really made me happy. read more

Donuts. Being born in Atlanta, Krispy Kreme is just as much a part of my blood as the plasma and hemoglobin and all that other junk in there. My first school field trip was to a Krispy Kreme! All that being said, Poster's Donuts is about the best donut shop I've ever been to. First and foremost, this donut place is in walking distance of our home. Many a times have we walked over there to justify having the fat and sugar content of these wonderful puffy fluffy doughballs. They have the softest, most fresh donuts ALWAYS. They open at 4 am (I think...well, at least that's the earliest we've moseyed on over there) and they're open well into the evening judging by the lights on after dark. Farmer's Brothers coffee (which is only the best coffee to ever grace this earth) is the brand that they serve here (complete with cold milk out of the fridge or Altadena non-dairy LIQUID creamer for all you lactose-intolerant folks like myself). Finally...the owners/operators of this business have always been very courteous and kind. I think they're a married couple and couldn't be sweeter. **CASH-ONLY (ATM on site)** read more

3.5 Stars. Prettay prettay solid place for getting fueled on donuts and coffee. Classic Farmer Bros. donut shop coffee - those Keurig brand k-cups claiming to be "donut shop coffee" are nowhere near the donut shop coffee real deal. They still make old fashioned and french cruller. If you heat up glazed donuts in the microwave it's pretty much Krispy Kreme and practically melts on your fingers when you tear it apart. The one item I don't recommend that I've had is the ham and cheese croissant which is more like a croissant sandwich not a ham and cheese croissant. Compared to the donut shop further West on Foothill (don't remember the name) and really most others, I have never come across such a ham and cheese croissant. The other review with photo of the h and c croissant is accurate; took long but the croissant was ready and they just cut it and filled it with one slice of each if that and heat it up in the microwave. Most other places who sell more ham and cheese croissants (probably because they're actually good) bake the croissant with the ham and cheese filled but always depends on the hour you go. Maybe they're not like this in the early AM idk. Might as well just buy your own ham and cheese and croissants/dough at that point. I understand profits need to be made but they also need to actually be earned - you're not selling any more croissants if they're not good so why bother compromising your product to the point no one wants to buy it because it's not made well? I feel like they don't worry about improving their croissant because it's not selling but that's backward thinking since they're not selling because it's obvious they give little care to improving it. They also leave a little bit too much room in your coffee like 70% coffee 30% room too much. Which to me was yet another attempt to save money at the customer/product's expense and made me not want to come back. read more

The donuts are pretty good here I like the french crueller. They don't have them at very many donut shops. Also they had a million dollar winner her for lotto. read more

Delish! My staff always love it when I come in with their donuts. Good service and coffee

The donuts here were a little stale, but I suppose that's what you get for going to a donut shop at 6 pm. Taste was... meh. This is no Krispy Kreme. On my way home from work, my wife asked me to pick up a few donuts for our son who was sick. I knew this shop was close to our house, so I stopped in for the first time. It was around 6 pm. The hours on the door noted they were open until 9 pm. When I entered, the salesgirl was talking on her mobile phone. She greeted me still wearing her bluetooth headset. The donut selection was limited and they didn't really look that fresh, but because it was late in the day, I settled. I chose enough donuts for my order to total $5.00. To pay, I offered my debit/credit card and was informed that there would be an additional $.75 charge to use my card. That's a hefty fee for a $5.00 order. I refused and asked the cashier to show me a sign anywhere in the store that announced this policy. There wasn't one. I had three dollars in my wallet. I went back to my car and scraped up the remaining $2.00. I won't be going back there. read more

Very nice lady helped me. Donuts are good :) They are also open very early in the morning.

This place is an absolute joke. Yes, they were nice, but they move like a snail. Spent 10 mins in here waiting for a ham n cheese croissant, small coffee, and maple bar (and there was no line). I should have went to Del Taco instead! Check out the pic of the ham n cheese croissant. The ham was the biggest joke. Some businesses only care about money and this place seems to be one of them. Unfortunately, can't recommend this place and will not be giving them a second chance. read more

Poster's Donuts - Never been to a place that has been this stingy with the ham. It's pretty much nonexistent!! Don't recommend. - Donuts Near Me - Pasadena, California

The best glazed donuts I've ever had. As soft and chewy as Krispy Kreme's but bigger and less greasy.

Donuts were nothing to write home about. Cake donuts barely had any frosting on them at all, just a small ring around the top. It did not cover the top at all. Woman behind counter was void of any personality and price seemed expensive to me. 5 basic donuts like glaze, maple and cake donuts came out to more then $7. I did not get a receipt or I could have checked the bill. I just paid and I will not be back. read more
