The Donuttery

When lucifer’s lettuce has me munching hard, two thoughts pop into my head: «In N Out, or The Donuttery?». That’s all you need to know.
⁴²⁰⁄₅ stars

OH THE DONUTTERY! Best place for donuts and am a firm believer that this place should become a chain and open in every major city. Including not so major cities. Anywhere with a population this place would succeed.
My second suggestion would be for them to start making gluten free donuts and options. They already have vegan options which is amazing and that is one preference of us with annoying food allergies or specific things they normally have to miss out on amazing food places because of. The gluten free thing though is super common for people to have as an allergy and I know that if they made them/​carried them this place would blow up more than it already has.
There are a ton of good donut places in Orange County but if you are anywhere near here whether visiting from out of town, have family visiting, or live here you won’t regret giving this place a try. The best part is that they are ²⁴⁄₇!

I had a few donuts here. Haha! This place is great! Many options to choose from. I had the apple cinnamon donut. It was so delicious. They also have coffee (duh) and milk to purchase. They could have more seating in here, though. Parking could be better too. The employees were very nice too, answering any questions I had about the donuts. Yes, I’m the weird type that asks questions about donuts.

They’re cool. Yummy, closeby … Great assortment of donuts, cronuts, sandwiches, etc. Mid-​Level donuts, not gourmet, like Blue Star or Side Car, but a step above your cheap mom n pop donut shops.
Service is always friendly and helpful.
Rundown plaza though, needs a makeover, badly!

I love the Donuttery. It’s everything you want a donut place to be… fresh, tasty, great selection, cheap, no frills location/​décor.
My favorite is the apple fritter… I choose the smaller size cause I like all the crunchy nooks and crannys and chunks of apples. Only place that has comparable apple fritters is VG’s in Cardiff by the Sea (you should go there too).
I like all the new fangled donuts but somehow they don’t satisfy me like the old school types…
The Donuttery has everything you want and some extras that you didn’t know you wanted. Don’t miss anything with the maple glaze, it is the best.

Ever since I moved to SoCal I’ve become a huge donut snub (my Unilocal username is literally «donuts and gym») and I am now very picky and particular about the donuts I get.
I’ve actually been coming to the Donuttery for about a year and after visiting over 50 donut shops all over SoCal (ok maybe not that many, but it sure feels like it) I haven’t found anything that comes close to them.
The Donuttery get its right. Their donuts are amazingly delicious, fresh, soft, perfectly made… I could on. I’ve never been disappointed with their cake, old fashion and buttermilk donuts which are tricky because they can get hard quick and they usually suck at most donut shops, but not here! Not only that, but you can get a dozen of high quality donuts for $ 10 including red velvet, Oreo, Devils food, carrot cake, vegan and that list goes on…
Please, do yourself and favor and give them a try. You will be shaking and crying after your first bite. Guaranteed!!!

They have a wide selection of donuts here and they’re open 24hrs for your late night cravings! They also have vegan donuts here! Donuts are good, but are on the sweeter side.
I like the red velvet with cream cheese — the frosting is so gooooddd but I’m a sucker for cream cheese frosting. I also like the blueberry donuts here. I’ve also tried the strawberry but I prefer the blueberry!
The nutella strawberry donut was whatever; not my favorite. It was exactly as it sounds — nutella with strawberry jelly but I don’t think the flavors worked well together. It was also pretty sweet too.
The crème brûlée was interesting because it had the hard caramelized sugar on top! It was crispy and had a nice crunch to it – adding a nice texture, but it got way too sweet way too fast and the hard pieces of sugar kept getting stuck in my teeth too. They have two options for this donut — custard or dulce de leche filled.
Overall good donut spot and it’s 24hrs so that’s always a plus.

This place is not messing around. It’s an unassuming donut joint in a strip mall, with a line out the door (IN THE RAIN) on a Saturday morning. Then there are the pile of vegan donuts they have to offer. I knew they had a bunch (which is why I made it a point to swing by on my way to San Diego), but it was amazing to see so many options. They have both raised and cake, with multiple flavors of each. I knew I was going to do a raised glaze, my absolute favorite, and I was also suckered in by the raised glazed with chocolate icing, the donut of my dreams. The cake offerings weren’t clearly labeled, so I asked the nice guy helping me to suggest his favorite. «Blueberry,» he said with authority. «Definitely blueberry.» To shake it up a little, I also got a jelly filled donut. 4 donuts were less than $ 5, which is amazing, though you’ll have to throw in another donut if you want to use your credit card. Thankfully (or sadly, depending on your point of view), I had enough cash to cover the damages.
I immediately ate the glazed donut, and it was great. Maybe not better than Donut Farm’s raised glazed, but definitely on par, and waaaay cheaper. A little later, while sitting in traffic on the I-​5, I could hear the blueberry calling me. It blew me away! I’m a little jaded because most vegan donuts tend to be cake donuts, but this one was really, really special. You could actually taste the fresh blueberries, nothing felt artificial about it.
The jelly and the glazed with chocolate icing were a little too sweet for me. I also waited until the next day to eat them, and they staled pretty quickly, sooner than I’m used to. Maybe because they’re raised, and I’m not used to being flush with raised donuts? I’d probably pass on the jelly, as I found the raspberry filling to be overwhelming, but I’d give the chocolate another chance.
It was totally worth making a pit stop here, and when I’m back in the area, I’ll definitely return! And try more cake donuts.

I’m glad I live pretty far from here because if I didn’t I would probably gain a billion pounds and lose all my money. This place is definitely somewhere I make sure to go to whenever I’m near the area. Vegan donuts are done right here! And the prices are so unbelievably affordable I can’t help but order way more than I need.
Three words: **VEGAN BLUEBERRY DONUTS** Absolute best donuts ever! Vegan or not! The texture, taste, sweetness, everything! The way it crumbles right into your mouth when you take that first bite and then melts perfectly as you chew into that delicious goodness oh my gosh… not even exaggerating. There’s a reason why this place is so popular. Well deserved five stars donuttery… well deserved.

I LOVE the Donuttery. Since my mom moved down to Orange County last year, I have gotten my doughnut fix here every single time I visit her. My son asks me to bring doughnuts home when I go to So Cal without him.
What makes this place different than other doughnut shops? They always have fresh doughnuts in all kinds of varieties ready any time of day I’ve stopped by. Their cake doughnuts — especially my favorite Devils Food Cake — are so moist and dense. Their raised doughnuts melt in your mouth. They have a lot of great flavors like S’Mores, peanut butter and jelly, red velvet, nutella and strawberry, maple bacon and many more. Even their vegan doughnuts are tasty! They also do hearty breakfast sandwiches, deli sandwiches and salads.
I highly recommended this place any time day or night.

Donut hesitate to be a lil baddie when you’re at Donuttery! I know I didn’t! It was the best way to end my cheat day. Head over right after hanging out at Snow Monster! Yup, it’s a must every time now.
The moment I stepped in here, there was definitely no turning back when it was time to choose for my dozen box. If I could, I would want to try one of each. I must’ve taken 5 – 10 minutes choosing. They all looked and sounded so darn good! Was I glad Chris was very patient with me. Take note that it does get a bit loud with multiple guests trying to order all at once.
I did get flavors that I’ve liked from other popular donut shops so I can compare. A few were new flavors I’ve never heard of and then the rest was kindly recommended by Chris. I have to give their vegan donuts two thumbs up! Seriously, I couldn’t tell the difference. My dad and I loved the sugar covered vegan raised donut and vegan blueberry donut the most. I’d also recommend the vegan raspberry filled donut and the vegan maple brick donut as well. I can see how most people like the red velvet cream cheese and the s’more. They were very sweet for my liking but I’d recommend it for those with super sweet tooth: P The carrot cake donut was interesting to say the least.
Everyone talks about this place so it was now or later. My buddy Craig Y. & I thought now was a better idea after SM like I said. We had a great time and I can’t wait to go back for more of their vegan donuts!
Tips
– Come between 8pm-​10pm for fresh vegan donuts.
– $ 5 card minimum.
– Parking is a lot easier during late nights since other businesses in the plaza are closed except SM. Although it is tight.
– Ask for Amy, she gives the best customer service! And she’s very knowledgeable of their products.
– Buy a dozen and you get one free!
– Cream puffs are 25 cents each! Thanks for my free sample, Chris! You’re awesome (:

The Donuttery is like the Disneyland of donut shops, they have any type of donut you could possibly want or think of. I’ve had my eye on this place for about 6 months and when I’m in the OC I never had the chance to check them out until my most recent visit. Mind you they are open ²⁴⁄₇ but I happened to go on a Saturday morning (and then again on a Monday morning) and both days the line was out the door. I don’t think I have ever waited in line at a donut shop lol. Once I saw the line and saw all the selection of donuts before tasting anything I just knew the hype was real and let me tell you it really was!
I knew off top that I was going to try the strawberry cake donut, red velvet cake donut and the red velvet cake donut w/​cream cheese frosting but then my eyes began to just overpower my stomach and I started ordering other donuts I knew I didn’t need and probably wouldn’t have room to eat. Among those other flavors was the Crème Brûlée donut filled with Dulce de Leche as well as the Dulce de Leche Apple Cinnamon cake donut. I really enjoyed all of the donuts, some more than others. Both the Crème Brûlée and the Dulce de Leche Apple Cinnamon cake donut were very good and well executed, also very sweet maybe even too sweet lol. The regular red velvet cake donut was ok, it was moist and that’s about it but it’s counterpart with the cream cheese frosting had a little more flavor and that frosting gave it a better taste and flavor. But my all time favorite donut and the sole reason why I came in the first place was the strawberry cake donut! They were so moist and full of strawberries and had a strong strawberry flavor, I was in heaven eating this donut. I could probably eat one of those everyday for the rest of my life. Best donut I have ever had hands down!
I highly recommend this place, it really doesn’t matter when you come since it’s open 24 hours but if you are concerned with the freshness of the donut than I suggest coming in the mornings but do be prepared to wait in line. I will definitely be coming back every trip I take to the OC and I will make sure to transport these goodies back home with me as well.

My family now refers to this place as the «place with all the flies.» There is a nice selection of donuts here. I appreciate their effort to introduce different flavors and varieties. I am not the biggest donut fan, so having lot of different items to choose from is helpful for me. We did come on a Saturday afternoon. There was no wait and everything wasn’t sold out. I would recommend keeping the doors closed to keep out the flies maybe. That would also make it less stuffy inside since the air seemed stagnant. The was seating, but it was too warm inside so we took our party to a coffee place a little drive away so we could sit and enjoy each other’s company with our donut treats.
I prefer Friendly’s cronut, but I did like the blueberry donut. I am in love with all things lemon, so I liked the ones with lemon flavors or frosting. The crème brûlée was just terrible. The layer of caramelized sugar was so hard we could hardly cut into it. Maybe that one was sitting out too long before they served it. The variety of other donuts were okay. Nothing to write home about. It’s a good place with a nice variety. Bonus points for being open ²⁴⁄₇.

The best vegan donuts EVER. No one else can compete with Donuttery when it comes to raised vegan donuts, and they offer a large selection of flavors daily. I once drove all the way from LA at 3am just to eat these donuts. My favorite flavors are the jelly filled, blueberry (cake), maple bar, and strawberry frosted.
Additional bonus: they’re open ²⁴⁄₇.

Ehhhhh I was actually expecting a little bit more out of this place since soooo many people rant and rave about it. It’s good but not the greatest donut ever. The blueberry was good, the chocolate and the cream puffs. The ones I didn’t like at all were the strawberry and the strawberry glazed.
When we got here the line was empty but within 3 minutes there were about 10 people behind us while I was just yapping my mouth away asking the guy about the different donuts.
Overall a nice donut shop located on Beach Blvd, reasonably priced and nice employees. But not the best donuts ever let’s just be real here!!!

The Donuttery is amazing! :)
They have so many different doughnut options as well as breakfast food items like breakfast burritos, bagels, etc. I’d recommend to order a dozen of doughnuts (they give you 13 instead of 12), it will be worth it! I was able to try to blueberry glazed, smores, and strawberry nutella doughnuts. I regret not ordering a dozen! I’ve never so many options anywhere else before.
The shops is relatively large with a lot of seating room. Servers super nice and informative staff. If you are ever in OC, this is definitely a must-​go to spot.

Not all donuts are created equally and The Donuttery is a great example of this!
I first came here years ago because of their red velvet donut. I remember leaving with them and some blueberry donuts as well. The Donuttery was much simpler back then with only the front case display. I’ve passed this location several times in the last few years and I finally stopped by again. Their donut shop has grown in size (just slightly) and definitely in variety!
I really shouldn’t have these delicacies but as the current saying goes, «treat yo self!!», so I did.
The front case to the right currently has vegan options. I love that there so many vegan donuts! They also had bear claws and croissant donuts in their front display. When I was informed that the front display was vegan donuts I looked up and see the plethora of other donuts available (insert heart eyes galore). I was overwhelmed by so many choices, I settled on getting the S’mores Devils Food and a Salted Caramel Apple. The S’mores had two varieties, the raised donut and the Devils food. I think the Devils food cake donut wasn’t the best choice, it gave the donut less of a sweet test. The salted caramel apple donut was delicious !!! Unilocaler Emil let me know that a Crème Brûlée donut is also available. I hadn’t seen it otherwise I would have tried it!
Now that there are so many more varieties of donuts, I will definitely be back at The Donuttery to sample more flavors!

Great Donut Shop in Huntington Beach! They have a wide selection of donuts, croissants, and drinks! They have Vegan Donuts! How cool is that! The atmosphere is just like your typical donut shop, they have a few tables and comfy chairs. The staff is fast and the prices are very reasonable for a donut shop.
Ordered Items: Maple Bar Donut, Cream Cheese croissant and Strawberry cheese croissant.
I waked in last night around 8:30pm. My boo was feeling sick and was craving donuts, so stopped by and got her maple bar donut. Everything looked absolutely delicious, so I had to get something else. I saw the croissants through the glass with the cream cheese stuffed inside. I knew I had to get more than just donuts. So I did, I also ordered 2 croissants. Great decision by my part. My GF loved the maple bar and the cheese croissant.
Overall, the selection of donuts is great. Everything from red velvet to chocolate vegan. The location is well maintained and the staff is friendly. The only reason why I’m giving them 4 and not 5 stars is because the donuts were cold.

With nearly 2000 reviews and still averaging 4.5 stars, I’m probably preaching to the choir at this point. Well let it be heard, Huntington Beach is another city that has real old school style donuts that just so happen to be Vegan. Along the likes of Vegas (Ronald’s) Sacramento (Family Donuts) and of course the famous Voodoo micro-​chain in Portland and Denver. The Bay Area is sorely lacking in good Vegan donuts.
The prices are great too. My 5 donuts came out to only $ 5.95. A dozen of «fancy» style donuts will only set you back $ 14 or so. That will only get you a few donuts at the hipster Vegan donut shops that serve far inferior ‘nuts.
They have bars, cinnamon swirls, fritters, cake donuts, and the best part, yeasty raised glazed donuts in several varieties. The only thing that was missing was cream filled Long John’s!
Every single one was so damn good too! Almost to the point it feels we’re being trolled. How can these be Vegan and why can’t other donut shops reproduce these deep fried marvels?
Even though HB is pretty much out of the way for us whenever we visit down south, it’s worth a special trip just to get something that is only available in a few lucky cities. A dozen will be coming home with us before we leave town!

This is a popular doughnut spot out in Huntington Beach and the place is very nondescript and it really just looks like a plain bakery but don’t let the looks of the place dissuade you from their awesome donuts. Also, they are ²⁴⁄₇.
The food:
Glazed Raised– OMG, it was freaking excellent, the doughnut had the perfect chew, it was on the sweet side but still amazing. It really reminded me of a Krispy Kreme doughnut but better. The yeast doughnuts are great.
Blueberry Glazed– Freaking excellent as well, this was my favorite cake doughnut. The blueberry flavor was nice, and the glaze on the outside had a good mouth feel. This was my second fav doughnut.
Crème Brûlée Custard– I though the yeast dough was excellent, the custard was great but the hard sugar sticks to your teeth like in a bad way. It’s still worth getting.
Apple Crisp Cinnamon Sugar– I thought this was a safe doughnut but it didn’t pack as much flavor as I was expecting.
S’more– The texture of the doughnut was nice but it was on the sweet side. My cousin really enjoyed this one, though.
Red Velvet Cream Cheese– This was the first doughnut I had and I thought it was just good, the other doughnuts were just better.
Red Velvet Glazed– It was OK, it was kinda plain tasting.
