Enjoying my favorite doughnut, which is a chocolate chip bar with water and passing time with lottery scratchers.
Arturo M.

Please support local businesses! The food service and ambience is amazing and I wanna make them very clear before I dive into the details. Rainbow Donuts in West Covina is the kind of place that makes you feel like home the second you walk in. The donuts are always fresh, no matter the hour, which is why this shop has become a true local favorite. I've been coming here my whole life and it never disappoints. One of my favorite details is that I can still find my grandparents here every single week. They're proof that Rainbow Donuts isn't just a donut shop, it's a family tradition and a part of our community. It's rare to see a business that connects generations like this. The vibe inside gives off a comforting old school feel, the kind that makes you feel like you're stepping into a piece of history. No frills, no gimmicks, just the smell of fresh donuts and coffee and the sight of locals coming through the door at all hours of the day. Of course, Dunkin' Donuts set up nearby, but Rainbow has something no chain can copy. It has that small mom and pop heart, that smile from the owner who remembers you after a few visits, that special feeling you only get from a neighborhood spot that's been loved for decades. Parking right in front is limited, only a couple of spots, but that doesn't bother me one bit. There's a lot across the street and if I have to cross for a fresh glazed or a chocolate bar, I'll happily do it. Plus, they recently added a Tesla charger nearby so it's the perfect excuse to plug in and pick up a dozen. Rainbow Donuts isn't just donuts either. They sell lottery tickets, snacks, and other food, making it a little one stop shop when you need a quick bite or just want to test your luck while sipping coffee. It's the kind of variety that keeps people coming back. Another thing I appreciate is how safe it feels. The shop sits on a busy street, but the entrance to the lot is simple and secure. You don't see people loitering or any uncomfortable crowds, which makes those late night donut runs feel easy and relaxed. As for the donuts themselves, the pricing is more than fair. In a time where everything seems to get more expensive, it feels good to walk out with a full box without spending a fortune. You get that unbeatable combination of quality and value. For me, this place is wrapped up in memories. I've been here more than fifty times, growing up in West Covina, and every visit feels like a little piece of my story. Whether it's late night snacks with friends or Saturday mornings with family, Rainbow has always been there. So if you're in West Covina and debating between a chain or something real, do yourself a favor and stop here. Rainbow Donuts is fresh, consistent, welcoming, and absolutely a gem in this city. Try it once and you'll understand why people like me and my grandparents keep coming back.

Regular Tiger Tail
Victoria C.

Stopped by here on Friday morning as I was craving donuts and also heard that the owner is going to retire soon. Got one blueberry glazed cake donut and a tiger tail. The donuts are huge and most importantly it's fresh. I like the blueberry glazed cake donut more than the tiger tail. The blueberry glazed cake donut was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside .. it had the perfect crunch to it. The tiger tail was soft as well and there were also some crunchy bits in the chocolate parts.. not sure what it is but I feel like the other ones I've had didn't have the crunch bits in it so maybe this one is a special variety. Inside there are a few tables where you can sit and enjoy your food. This place also serves coffee and drinks and Sing is very nice and polite. I can tell there are some regulars here as I saw them just spending time there :)

Coconut Glaze
Chelsea B.

Wow best blue berry donut I've ever had! This place exceeded my expectations. You can see the fluffiness and gluten development in the coconut donut. Plus I was given an extra glaze donut for free. Super great service. It's open 24/7 and I would definitely come here again. You can tell there's a good following because there's a lot of pictures of happy customers all over the restaurant. I also like how there's several lottery winners at this location. I'll go here when I want to play the lottery. This donut shop is clean and has plenty of parking. With several chairs and tables inside.

Great selection, even after 1pm
Therese F.

The folks behind the counter were very sweet and easily talked us into getting an extra donut or two. These donuts were so big and tasted fresh, even the next day. I'm honestly glad I do not live nearby, because eating here all the time would be a real problem for my waistline.

Rainbow donuts has been a West Covina staple for over 20 years! My mom used to bring me here when I was a kid when we first moved to the area. I'm 35 now and continue to visit Rainbow donuts for their Chocolate chip rolls. I'm also a huge fan of their ham, cheese and jalapeño croissants. They are the best! The service here is always great! Sing is always so nice. She treat everyone like a friend, and neighbor. The donuts are huge, cakey and full of chewy goodness. You get your money's worth here. Whenever they've added something new, she always let's us know and encourages us to try it. On some occasions has even slipped an extra donut for us when she really wants us to taste it. She is really so kind and generous. Their latest addition is the cronut, and my goodness it was heavenly. I truly believe their donuts are 2nd to none. I've purchased them for some of my clients and everyone has agreed that they're delicious. I am and will be a lifelong customer of Sing. I absolutely will not get donuts from anywhere else. They are worth it, and I encourage everyone to try them and support Sing and Rainbow Donuts!

I support small businesses as often as possible and this donut shop is no exception. This shop has been around for many, many years. That is why it was not cool when the, "other donut shop/chain" opened up one business away. I am and many others do not want to see this place fail so we support it by buying our donuts and coffee here several times per week. Donuts are always fresh and very tasting, owner is so friendly and appreciative of each customer and prices are very affordable. I'll keep coming here for my cinnamon donuts and egg salad sandwiches.

Rainbow Donuts in West Covina is a fine donut shop. Dropped in for some dessert after having dinner at the Taco Bell nearby. I was greeted by the nice young woman who was working that evening. They still had a nice selection of donuts that evening I visited. Don't know if they bake throughout the day or not. Was kind of worried that the donuts would be stale. No need to worry because the donut I ate tasted fresh and delicious. I bought myself one of those large bear claws with apple filling. Unfortunately, my "go to" donut was already sold out. I usually tend to purchase a Boston Crème donut whenever I patronize a donut shop for the very first time. I ate my apple bear claw at one of their available tables. As I sat enjoying my yummy treat a couple of other groups of folks came in. They all seemed to be regulars, and the young lady assisting them treated them great also. Overall, it was an A+ experience! Excellent customer service, yummy donut, clean establishment, and fair prices. Nothing to complain about here.

They sell hats.

Munchkins Donuts Shop is most famous for their croissants and they are so popular that there can…read moresometimes be a line to get them. If you want the best selection get there early, like around 9 am, or they will run out. They have great plain one and ones filled with meats and peppers and all sorts of stuff. They all are great. And you can carefully freeze them, so get a bunch and take them home. Parking is easy and the prices are quite fair. They also have super coffee. The service is very nice and they are fast and if there is a line, it moves fast. The place is older, but well kept up and clean inside. It is very comfortable. They have a counter with so many donuts, you will find several you want. We love the regular glazed. Their cake donuts are so good and they have a great selection. They have every donut you can think of. You can't go wrong here.

I'm surprised that I might be the only one who experienced or noticed this but their croissants…read morewere undercooked. When my kid said it tasted funny, I split the ham and cheese croissant in half and noticed the dough was still raw in the center. I bought 4 ham and cheese and they were all undercooked. I devoured the jalapeño ham and cheese croissant, which I only got one. It was delicious but I did think the "cheese" (most likely raw dough) was a little weird. Regardless, it was yummy. If you must try them, check the inside and just reheat it in the oven. And just get the jalapeño ham and cheese.

Since I don't learn my lesson and decide to drive to work on a Monday morning in heavy traffic,…read morethat drive is a 2.5 hour drive to Pasadena. Anyhow, it gives me a reason to stop at... (you guessed it) a donut shop!!! I stopped at Pronto Donuts in Azusa to take a driving break. The donut shop was full and there was a line inside. I got my usual, 3 chocolate donuts. They were good and fresh. I did like that each donut was only $1.50 which is a really, really good price for donuts!! I think this is the most cost efficient donut I've seen in the last couple of months. The donuts made me happy very happy!! Service could have been more friendly, but I suppose they were in a hurry since they were busy. Plenty of parking in this plaza.

My favorite mom and pop donut shop in SoCal. Fast service, delicious donuts, and amazing staff…read more If you want fresh donuts anywhere in the area of Azusa, Covina, or Glendora - this locals spot is my go-to. Pronto is right across the street from the In-n-Out and has the best Old Fashioned donuts, amazing Buttermilk bars, Chocolate and Vanilla donuts, Bear Claws, Powdered donuts filled with cream, lemon, or raspberry, and so many more styles of donuts and pastries. On Saturday and Sunday they serve up the biggest Tiger Tails I've ever seen. You will not find a Tiger tail donut as huge, crispy, and delicious anywhere else... not even on Route 66. And they certainly beat the prices of any local Route 66 donut shop. You will fall in love with the hardworking woman at the counter, who is almost always there taking care of this small, but perfect doughnut shop. She has a few seats for patrons to sit and enjoy their coffee and donuts, sandwiches, or just to watch the live Hot Spot Lottery Keno on their TV. (And did I mention they sell the lottery tickets here, too!) The parking lot is definitely tight in this plaza, but I always find at least one spot in the lot or you can park on the side street.
