    World's Best Glaze Donut from Upland Donuts! Go get yourself some...
    Linh Y.

    Upland Donuts is still my favorite donut shop. I was here again yesterday. I was lucky to get 6 hot and fresh glazed twists (my favorite donut!) off the rack from the back and 6 other good ones from the front. You can't go wrong with any of their donuts even the cake donuts. They are all super light, fluffy (raised ones), soft (cake ones), and delicious! Their donuts don't stay displayed behind the clear glass case for too long because they'll get sold in a jiffy. They literally fly off the rack! LOL Yes, they are that busy! It appears their donut size has slightly shrunk a bit and price has gone up again. It's now $19.95 for a dozen of assorted donuts either build your own or let them pick. Still worth every penny! Every time I have been here, the owner lady is here. Sometimes, she may have one other staff member to help her at the front. Owner and staff are always nice and friendly. Service is usually very quick. It's just the long line that you have to wait for most of the time unless it's at opening time or near closing time. What I noticed is that they may not have all the donuts out if it's too early in the day unless you pre-order them. They close on Mondays. They open on the other 6 days from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM. How nice to work early in the morning and have the rest of the day to do whatever they want. But then again, they probably have to go to bed early in order to wake up really really early in the morning to get the donut dough batches ready for each day. For those who has been to Upland Donuts, you know it's the real deal. For those who haven't, come on by to check them out. Their amazing donuts and creme puffs are waiting for you! Happy You with Upland Donuts! Btw, it's CASH only!

    Closed on Mondays now

    Literally the best donut place in the area hands down. They have been at this location, family owned for decades! Their donuts are soft and delicious. The croissants are the best you can find. The owners are there everyday making these tasty breakfast snacks. Remember this place is old school. Cash only! There may be a line but it moves quick. A must go to if tor in the area. Tip: They sell out quick!!!!

    Chocolate glaze!!!

    I was shopping at Whole Foods and decided to yelp something good around the area. Upland donuts came up and I was cravings a donut so I headed over. Upland donuts was located in a big plaza. This place had a line out the door. I got in line and it more pretty fast. I ordered four chocolate glaze donuts and one apple fritters. The chocolate glaze donut was all out so I had to wait for them to make a fresh one. This was amazing fresh! It was so good! The glaze and the donut dough were perfect together. I had the same donut about a couple of hours later it was just a regular donut. You have to eat it fresh! The service was super nice! Everything was working with a smile and was so helpful. Overall, come try this place for their fresh chocolate glazed donut! You won't be disappointed.

    I came here on a Sunday about an hour before closing. Parking was easy because they share a private lot with many other businesses. I wasn't sure if they would have many donuts when I arrived, but they had a few varieties left. I ordered chocolate glazed and regular glazed donuts. These donuts were absolutely amazing! The balance of sweetness was perfect and the donut was so soft it melted in my mouth. This place is a must if you enjoy donuts.

    Love Ms.Youngs classic donuts! Fluffy, not greasy, you know it s a good spot when the dough itself tastes good. Staff and ms.young are incredibly kind and quick with their service, it's the kind of place you jump in and out of to get your donut and sweet treat fix. 5/5 highly recommend.

    Freshly baked donuts! Waited in line for these and I do think it was worth it. Their chocolate and Carmel donuts were so good and fresh! The apple strudel was delicious and tasted fresh. Cute small little donut shop that felt mom and pop owned.

    A must stop when in the Upland area!! I live out of state now, and always stop here for breakfast when visiting. The donuts are fresh, soft, and delicious, and the service is always top notch. Make sure you bring cash and come early, I did wait in a bit of a line but that was to be expected at 9am on a Saturday.

    This place is cash only so make sure you bring some cash with you! Otherwise there is an atm machine inside or a stater bros in the same plaza for cash back. Their donuts are so fresh! It literally melts in your mouth. Their jalapeño ham and cheese croissant is also very good. It's just fluffy, light, and delicious. The pastry basically melts in your mouth Friendly staff as well they're also known for their apple fritter It is a bit more expensive compare to other donut shops but honestly it's worth it for the quality

    And best tasting Bavarian cream ever too!!!

    Omg! I never thought I would find the best donut shop! And I'm a donut connoisseur too. A hidden gem located in north Upland in the Stater Brothers shopping plaza on 16th st and Mountain Ave. It's the only donut shop where you can get warm donuts regularly and that's because there's so many customers, they have to keep making them throughout the morning! In fact, when I made it inside the donut shop, I saw the guys in the back off to the side steadily making new batches. One person was layering the chocolate glaze ever so smoothly. Like watching a real life documentary. Yes, there was a line when I arrived wrapped around the store's corner, but it moved fast. Most people are ordering an assorted dozen (including me - and a dozen variety donut holes) when I was there so donuts go very quick! The staff was very helpful and nice with a smile. Kids, young adults, grandma-grandpa, everyone was there. They're super puffy, the glaze are spread perfectly and evenly. The powdered sugar donut holes are amazing! They remind me of those Hostess powdered mini donuts, but so soft, still warm, and freshly made!!! That's childhood memories right there for me. Don't even get me started about their jelly filled ones. When you break them open, it's like watching an Italian pizza cheese pull! The custard or raspberry oozes out ever so evenly. I wish I could've had someone film me while I pulled them apart to show you guys. The best I can do are pictures. Look at them, look at them, look at it.......now respect them! They are the most beautiful donuts I've ever seen. And they're just the regular ones too. Not the fancy design ones you see at some specialty donut shops. They're good enough to be in commercials or in ads! Taste? What do you think? Heavenly!!! When it's warm, omg, it's very similar to Krispy Kreme but thicker and fluffier donuts. Now I don't live in Upland. It's out of the way for me but with donuts this good and such awesome presentation, I will go out of the way 10x more to come here. This is my new go-to spot for donuts now. Highly recommended. Their cream and jelly filled are the best tasting I've ever had in my life. The texture is so smooth and it's flavor odds what you expect out of a Michelin star dessert. Next time, I will order more cream and raspberry filled, now that I've tasted them. Don't take my word for it. If you want really good donuts, you need to check this place out and try it yourself. You are your own critic. Oh forgot to add, it's cash only so be prepared.

    Those croissants! Bombdiggity

    Do I recommend this business? Depends. Do you like hot, fresh, sweet, fluffy treats and/or delicious, savory, flavorful breakfast sandwiches? Do you support family owned and operated small businesses? If you answered "yes" to either or both, than I recommend this business for you. If you answered no to either or both, I will pray for you. The Upland faithful have been lining up on weekend mornings for good reason! I came by at 8:30 on a Saturday morning and the cruellers were almost sold out. They open at 5 so the earlier the better. Make haste!

    Cash only! The owners are very sweet. Little hole in the wall place but their donuts are so fluffy and fresh. Their chocolate glaze is one of the best.

    See all

    Be prepared to wait in line, but it is 100% worth it. And you won't be able to choose just one. Get there early!

    They were ok, just alittle dry for our tastes. Not to much to choose from. Maybe go earlier in the day. When they are more fresh.

    I loved the donuts form here. Only thing is that it is cash only. Donuts are not sweet and not airy. Hidden gem for sure.
