    Half a dozen plus one donuts
    Rexie S.

    My friends and I came from out of town and they never had Winchell's before. I love their donuts. Their dozen was 12 donuts plus 2. The lady was kind enough to half the boxes as they were going 2 different locations. Donut shop ambiance. I'm a plain Jane and like the regular glaze donuts or the Boston crème ones. Can you tell which box was mine ?

    Half a dozen donuts

    Was a little doubtful in coming here due to some of the reviews but was craving donuts and wanted to try it out for myself. Didn't know this place was 24 hours (apparently only I didn't know this info) had called to make sure and worker answered and was very polite. Was attended right away when I got to the place. Ordered half a dozen donuts and worker was very nice even gave me an extra one for free. Should give this place a try. Super clean and outstanding customer service!

    For being open 24 hours we expected stale or a poor selection of donuts. We were stoked at how fresh everything was. Great donuts :)

    If you pay by credit card/debt ask for a printout of the credit card transaction along with the register receipt to make sure they match.

    Doughnuts used to be good and fresh but sadly now they taste stale as if they're left out for days until they're all sold.

    Amelia's Donuts is one of those rare spots that overdelivers on every level. The donuts are hands…read moredown some of the best I've ever had, perfectly balanced, fresh, and clearly made with a lot of care. But what really surprised me was the burger. It's honestly one of the best around. Juicy, flavorful, and done right with no shortcuts. What makes this place even more special is Amelia herself. Her story, her hustle, and the passion she puts into everything you see and taste is inspiring. You can feel that this isn't just a business, it's something she truly built and believes in. Places like this are what make the food scene so great. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out.

    WARNING: Will ruin all other apple fritters for you and you'll be coming back for more!…read more I average about 3 or 4 apple fritters a month (with my doctor's approval, of course!), so I consider myself something of an expert. But I have a major problem now: Amelia's has officially ruined all other donuts for me. While I know many locals come here for the cinnamon rolls or burritos, the Apple Fritter is the real hidden gem. The husband (Jim) has a well-guarded secret recipe, and it shows. Unlike the mass-produced stuff I get back home, Jim and Amelia (the nicest couple you'll want to meet to start your day) use real apples and they are incredibly fresh. The fritter is soft, the topping delightfully sweet (I'm sure my doctor would approve) but not overpowering, and baked with a perfectly tender interior. It left me with the feeling I had the sweet taste of kindness to start my day. Why go to Starbucks to order a Grande from a snarky barista, when you can get coffee here that complements the fritter, warms the morning, and leaves you with a residual happiness-buzz for a great day of adventure? It's the best way to begin the day after enjoying the early morning stars and nature's goodness. I'll never have another apple fritter back home again. If you are in Idyllwild, do not skip this experience and brighten your morning (I'm sure your doctor will approve). :)

I want to eat their dessert but always get too full from the sandwiches to try it. If you are ever in the area, must try sandwich shop. The accolades in the back with their story is pretty sweet. Also the service and ambiance is excellent as well. Of course the cost is a bit much but what isn't expensive these days!

    The sandwiches were tasty with LOTS of meat. TKB does NOT skimp. Today we arrived and were seated…read moreoutside because we had our dogs. It was well after the lunch rush but it was pleasantly busy. Employees were friendly and checking on patrons, serving food and tending to empty tables. We had been waiting awhile, so I carried our number in with me and made note of the numbers they were delivering... which were higher numbers than ours, but also very random. I went to the cash register and asked the employee if they called the numbers in order. She answered politely that no they didn't. I then mentioned we were sitting outside and asked if I should wait inside for my order so they wouldn't have trouble finding us. We were not in a hurry and were trying to make it easy on the hardworking employees....and bonus that it was cool inside *At that point, a man who I perceived was a manager or maybe even the owner , turned to me from behind the counter, handed me a bag and said " Here Ma'am , GO!" Then turned back around to what he was doing. What? GO? I don't know what his intent was because I'm not a mind reader, but it felt rude and dismissive. His facial expression was as though he was busy and or annoyed. I was so surprised at his response in such an otherwise pleasant environment. I'm pretty tolerant of grumpy people (you know, sometimes there's a reason) but this just felt really icky -it was our intended destination after a hot drive from Phoenix and it did not sit well with us. We won't be returning. Food =10 Customer service = so disappointing 3

There were a few samples. All were delightful. But this one felt special. It seemed denser than the others, resisting the spoon before finally landing on my tongue. As the cream yielded, it dissolved into a thick, satin wave, coating my palate. The velvety base melted, and the rich ribbon of Medjool date caramel bloomed across my taste buds, releasing a deep, sun-baked sweetness with dark molasses undertones that lingered long after the scoop was gone. I knew one scoop was enough, but I wished it wasn't. The scooper was one with their environment and sympatico with the customers. I could tell they enjoyed their gig, and it showed.

There are no seating inside with a limited number of bistro tables in front. But there are benches along the street so we used one of those. Everyone working there was so patient with every customer. We were offered samples before deciding what to order. All the flavors look so tasty. Their single scoop was huge! So even though it sounds expensive at first, the large servings made it reasonable. It's large enough to share.
