Annoyed by the crazy lines, weird hours, and aloof attitudes of the owners of M&M Donuts, I started looking around Yelp! for suggestions on a good Lakewood/Cerritos area substitute for blueberry donuts; I was led to Rainbow Donuts on more than one review. Alas, I was led astray... I came by on a random Friday afternoon. There was no chime at the door so I stood trying to get the attention of an employee (she didn't hear me because the radio was on full blast) for a full 5 minutes. I bought several of the glazed blueberry donuts, an apple crumb donut, a ham and cheese croissant, and a strawberry cream cheese croissant. (This totaled something around $8!) I was slightly skeptical of the donuts as they looks sort of dry, but I decided to give it two tries - 1) right away upon buying, 2) slightly heated up like on Yelp! reviewer suggested. Both times yielded in fails. The donut was dry (and that made it very difficult to swallow the rich dough) and had an overwhelming burnt taste and smell to it. Heating the donuts up made the glaze melt, which made the donut a little more moist, but definitely didn't improve the burnt taste/smell. The apple crumb was dry and pretty unremarkable. Both the croissants were good. The outside was flaky and buttery. The fillings were delicious. However, I wouldn't go out of my way just to have these croissants as similar may be found in donut shops all about. Sadly, there was no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. read more

I only come here when I want blue berry donuts......which is basically every day of my life but given that donuts are "el diablo" (the devil) when you are striving to loose weight ...I ever so sadly stay away. But the minute I fit into my skinny jeans I will be back. I am not a fan of the blueberry donuts with the frosting (or whatever it is) because they are too sweet for me. But if you are into sweet then you should try it. If not then just stick the glazed blueberry donuts they are delicious! *Note CASH ONLY. Also KNOW that other people are also aware of the deliciousness of blueberry donuts so I would advise to call in advance to see if they still have some. read more

Apparently I missed out on the blueberry donut craze of 2010? Such a random yelp find! I typed in the words "blueberry" one day (I love blueberry anything) and the first thing that popped up was blueberry donuts. I didn't get a chance to try them till I stopped by Rainbow donuts on the way to dinner. I'm getting my dessert a little early. =) Blueberry donuts are 85 cents each, $4.50 for half a dozen and $8 for a dozen. It seems really popular here, since two racks were loaded with them. I didn't have the opportunity to ask the lady if they can be made fresh while I waited, or when their next baking times were. And...they were delicious! I ate one a few hours after I bought them and another one the morning after and it still tastes pretty fresh. Oh and they taste DIVINE when you warm them up in the toaster oven. The glaze is light, not too sugary. The outside is crispy and the inside is soft like moist cake. Blueberries fill your every bite. Oh me like. It is definitely a bad thing for my waistline that this place is open 24 hours. =P read more

Being a fatty that I am, I went to Rainbow Donuts to get some dessert after having dinner in the area. I picked up 3 blueberry donuts after hearing from a friend that they were damn good. It was sooooo fresh! The outside was nice and crisp with a soft cakey inside. Yes I came here for dessert, but I don't really like super sweet things. I usually only take a few bites of sweet stuff. But I downed that whole donut!!! It was so good! Not too sweet but juuuuuust right! Thanks for satisfying my dessert craving! read more

I will definitely be coming back here for these reasons: 1.) the polite old man working behind the counter just was so friendly, and nice to everyone that walked in. (It was 12 midnight, and he was very cheery) 2.) OPEN 24 HOURS! 'Nuff said about that. Late night cravings will be satisfied. 3.) there's plenty of donuts freshly made on display. You know how you can tell when they've been sitting for a while. (Especially at 24/7 spots) but that were very glossy looking, like they just got a fresh glaze or chocolate coating 4.) they have an A rating- this ain't no holly Molly donut shop from "Friday after the next" lol 5.) FINALEMENT THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE BLUEBERRIES BLUEBERRIES BLUUUUUUUBERRIES! The Blueberry Donut is freaking amazing!!!!!!!!! NOMNOMNOM I went in for a dozen, and I said I'll take one blueberry just to try it. The little old man I was telling you about earlier smiles and says "just one"? He knew I'd want more! I said "ok I'll take two then" (the one with the blueberry frosting on top is the one I got) I wish I got a whole dozen of blueberries darn it! And of course the donut the kids are forbidden from, they want it the most! Next time I'll be smart and just get all blueberries. If you are reading this review, be smart and get ALL BLUEBERRY DONUTS. You're welcome. read more

Eh.... we saw this place on the way home, after dinner and decided to give it a try. We ordered a mactha donut, 2 glaze, 1 crumb and 1 sprinkle. The Matcha donut was very disappointing, it doesn't stand a chance when compared to Seaside Bakery in Newport Beach. The glaze donut had a weird citrusy flavor, not sure why. The sprinkle donut was average and we didnt bother to try the crumb. This place is just ok. read more

I stopped by to get a treat for my employees for Administrative Professionals Day. I purchased a ton of donuts and the service and selection was awesome. I will definitely be back! read more

Two words, BLUEBERRY DONUTS. I recently discovered Rainbow Donuts's blueberry donuts. They are amazing! They are soft and cakey with a little tiny bit of crunch from being fried. The donuts are glazed two different ways: regular glaze (like a glazed donut) and blueberry glaze (my favorite!). I've bought half a dozen on two occasions at a very good price. The best thing is that my supply of donuts lasted my about three days, and after microwaving them for 10 seconds, they taste like they were just made. I enjoy my blueberry donuts with a cup of milk and dunk them into the milk like an oreo cookie... so delicious! I am definitely coming back here again for multiple reasons: 1) It's near my house 2) Service is GREAT! (An asian lady owns the shop and is always super nice!) 3) Cheap 4) I don't have to wait two hours in line (like M&M donuts in Anaheim... and the donuts taste just as good!). Writing this review makes me hungry... I think I'll grab some yummy blueberry donuts on my way home ;) read more

Best donut place in cerritos. -Location is great -Donuts idc as long as theyre good and edible and they follow the rules & regulations in the food industry, they have an A+ rating. I worked at fast food as my first job and to get an A+ rating means a lot. -service never had a problem with that 4/5 because i wish everyone would just use natural/non gmo/organic ingredients. Im sure theyll catch on :) read more

If you want blueberry donuts (or lotto scratchers) 24 hours a day I recommend Rainbow Donuts. YES they are OPEN every hour on the hour. Ah, the infamous blueberry donut. It's cake-y with a bit of a crunch all thanks to a glaze that envelopes fruity goodness. Not too sweet which makes it perfect. I prefer it fresh but a day later and a zap in the microwave does make it a tad tastier... if that is even possible. Every time I go there I see the same lady who I have to admit is ridiculously nice. Having her serve us is seriously icing on the sweet sweet cake. Ordered a dozen donuts and she gave a complimentary chocolate glazed. Score. read more

I've tried three donut spots in the Cerritos area in a month and this spot has all kinds of donuts my family crave. The blueberry donuts and tiger tail donuts are a plus! The fellow manning the register was friendly and the prices are affordable. It's my go to donut place. read more

Been coming here since I was a little kid! Love this place and the fam who owns it is awesome -- the mom is sweet. Especially love the new flavors/creations they've been introducing recently blueberry cake, matcha green tea, tiger tails etc. Keep them coming! read more

Fresh donuts even in the early evening with friendly service. My bf and I went with his daughter to another donut shop down the street which he stated had the best donuts when he was growing up prior to our visit here, and we both almost spit out our donuts. They were old and had a funky taste... nuff said. Came here and loved the blueberry donut (like a fried blueberry muffin)and the chocolate twisty, sugar and cake donuts. Much better... aww.. my bf was floored because this location was much better than the other. I guess it is hard when things change... read more

For those who hate waiting in the ridiculous line @ M&M donuts for the blueberry donuts, just COME HERE. It absolutely tastes the same, and you wait around 3 seconds for the man to put some in a bag, and 6 seconds to pay. So you're waiting 10 seconds for blueberry donuts. The sprinkled frosted donut is also pretty good, just noting! Went there around 1am and there's no one there except the man that works there. And some random people getting donuts late at night. The inside looks 'blah' but it's a freaking donut store...what do you expect right? This is my stop for donuts, esp for blueberry ones. No more M&M donuts for me, unless I want to spend 2-3 hours of my precious time doing absolutely nothing! read more

I was craving a breakfast burrito so I figured, why not stop here? It was my first time trying the burrito and it one of the tastiest breakfast burritos I've ever had. All of the ingredients were perfectly balanced. It's not like all of the other places where they fill the whole burrito up with just eggs and hash browns with a smudge of sausage. This place has the perfect balance of eggs, hash browns, sausage, ham, cheese, and they top it off with their own secret sauce ! Put a little bit of fresh salsa on it and you got yourself the perfect burrito ! read more

Rainbow Donuts - Perfection. - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

if you want blueberry donuts without waiting 2 hours come here!!! If you're reading this review then you've probably at least contemplated going to M+M. Just nuke the blueberry donuts, it's the same thing! open 24/7, plenty of parking read more

This is the place to go for a donut run. Even in the middle of the night- open 24 hours. Outside: The sign doesn't really say 'Rainbow Donuts'. There is a picture of a rainbow, and underneath, the word 'rainbow'. So I always knew it as 'Donut Deli', which is essentially the signage out front. Parking is a breeze. Service: - Great service. I always call in to see what's fresh, & the workers are nice enough to give info on what's coming out & what is fresh. - I've spoken to 3 different people: a lady, an older man, & a younger worker. All have been great about suggestions & giving me more than what I paid for. - Older man is funnier than I thought he'd be. Joking around, even in the middle of the night when some people would be bored or tired. Talked me into buying an extra donut, but really gave it to me for a quarter. - I was called back by the younger worker so he could give me a blueberry donut to try (said I wouldn't have room for the blueberry one and declined to buy it, & I guess as a 2nd thought, he decided just to give me one). - The lady gave me a sample of the cruller, which tasted kind of like those long Chinese breakfast 'donuts', but kind of soggy on the inside. It was dusted w/sugar, crunchy on the outside, and soft, almost soggy on the inside. It was really nice of them to be personable and willing to give samples. Donuts: - That blueberry one was great. I'm really happy the worker chased me w/a sample since now, I'm sure to get one every time I go. - Other donuts: solid. Nothing bad to say. My friends and I actually did a taste test of glazed, buttermilk, and old fashioned for 4 different places (B&B, Granny's, Rainbow, & US). Rainbow won ever test. read more

The best donuts I've ever had! The dough they use here is very high quality, cooked to perfection and fresh tasting with just right amount of oil and sugar. My go-to's are the apple fritters, chocolate bars, glazed twists and...oh heck! They're all good to me! Coffee too! Only giving 4 stars because they refuse to fix their soda machine :( Update: One day I went in the owner was their and I asked her why their donuts were so dang good. She told me they are the only place in the area that changes out the oil they cook their donuts in daily which creates a fresh taste. I told her she won my default donut choice! read more

So... i am currently craving their Blueberry Donuts!!! i went there for the first time and was amazed by how amazing they are! No rude lady taking your order from a small window and taking forever to get you your orders... no long ass line!!! What made me so addicted to this place is that... when i bought the donuts... the next morning... it was still crispy and yummy! You should put this on your to try list for sure! read more

Rainbow Donuts - Amazing and no bad service/crazy lines!! :) - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Finally, a 24-hour place to study. Owners are friendly & the donuts are delicious. The maple donuts almost have a hint of ginger to them.

The 5 stars is for the Blueberry Donuts. It is a MUST TRY! Still tastes good even when it's not hot off the oven. The outside is slightly cripsy, but the inside is soft and fluffy. The ham & cheese croissant is good, but not different from other places, except maybe for the added jalepenos. There is no ridiculous line like M&M Donuts. read more

See all

I only go here for the blueberry donuts and they're great! I decided to write them a review because I went last night at around 10 pm and the man working behind the corner told me to give him a minute because he was making some fresh blueberry donuts. When they finally came out they were delicious! They were so warm and soft that the donut would almost crumble in my hand. Great place for blueberry donuts and you can also pick up your lotteries here. read more

Well, I always thought Krispy Kreme has the best tasting donut. I was wrong. Try the blueberry donut here. Is amazingly good. Crunchy outer crust, not too sweet and you can taste the blueberry every bite. Although is probably every bit as unhealthy as any other donuts. At least this one you'll get a little bit of fruit in your system. Wishful thinking maybe? On a side note, the tiger tails is good too but nowhere near the blueberry donut good. read more

I must say this place has the best cruelers I've ever had. At midnight they're hot and fresh and crispy on the outside and perfectly moist in the middle. read more

Came In Here early the other morning to grab 5 dozen donuts for different jobsites. The sweet lady at the counter was so nice and quick. I will definitely be back read more

I love their blueberry donuts when fresh. It's still yummy regardless but when it's fresh it's yummier.

The apple donut was better than the blueberry, but you still have to try it for yourself. I never knew Cerritos had anything open 24 hours other than 7-eleven! Good to know for a random, late night donut craving. read more

Rainbow Donuts - I like this dutch apple pie donut better than blueberry. Sorry! - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Blueberry donuts. Once you get it, you'll see why they get five stars. Oh and their service is very friendly!

During blueberry season, my girlfriend really wanted to try blueberry donuts. She had looked up a place in Anaheim, M&Ms. However, we couldn't find a two hour gap(waiting time) in our schedule and hoped to find some place closer that offered blueberry donuts in less amount of time. We found out that Rainbow Donuts on South St. carried them. Exterior - Located in the shopping center shared with Guppy's and other small businesses. There is ample parking. Neon and lottery signs covers the front window. Interior - Small, but decent size if you're comparing to some Winchell's and Yum Yum Donuts. Upon entering, you will notice the menu in front of you, the beverage selections to your left, and chairs to the right. Customer Service - They are very friendly here. It's usual a variety of people working here, I guess because the shop is open 24 hours and they take shifts?. They always greet me upon entering. The last time I've came here, they gave me free donut holes with my order. :) Food - I've yet to try their donuts when they are fresh from the oven. But reheating some donuts in the microwave is not bad. I've tried their blueberry donuts and it was delicious. Also, I recommend their tiger tail, it is a long dough of sugary goodness. Overall - I'd recommend giving this place a shot. Not every donut shop offer blueberry donuts, so try it out here if you happen to be in the area. read more

So yummy and fresh! Allen has amazing customer service! Get the Cinnamon Twist (Tiger Tail) ! Or Cinnamon donut holes! Clean!

Ordered pink & chocolate sprinkle glaze donuts for my daughters donut themed birthday party and they were a big hit! Thanks Rainbow Donuts!

Very disappointed in the ham & cheese croissant. Just a rolled up slice of ham stuffed in a croissant with little to no cheese. The donuts are good. read more

Rainbow Donuts - All that croissant and only 1 rolled up slice or salty ham. Maybe a teaspoon of cheese. - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Does anyone have a bad experience in Rainbow donuts, we went there today and the lady gave us a very rude experience. First when we are at the store she seems mad, while picking our donuts she keep giving us a rude vibes, the worst part is, as we paying I've counted the donuts and she forgot the cinnamon roll, we already paid the donuts with credit card and charged us 1$ extra, and I told my husband that hey she forgot the cinnamon roll, and she keep saying that no you didn't tell me cinnamon roll, and I said we do in nice way, but she becoming more rude to us, and said ok I give the cinnamon roll I'll charge you again another $1 for the transaction, I know it's only $1 but it's not our fault, and the way she tell that to us is very unapologetic, like it's our fault, so I stand up and answer her back no never mind and tell her she's very rude. Not because you forgot it's our fault. About the taste of the donuts it's very hard like it's been days old. read more
