Gladstone Donuts

This has become my go to donut shop 3 to 4 times a week. A little distance from home but well it. A great selection of donuts and a great family staff affording friendly service.

This seller doesn’t know the combo. I have just ordered crossaint combo with donut and coffee but he charged m additional $ for the donut. Its confusing because you should tell the consumer what specific donut are you going to take.

It’s becoming tradition that when I’m out on Saturday mornings on a garage sale my stomach grumbles for that sweet fried dough that is donuts! This past weekend the stomach grumbles occurred in the neighborhood of Oak Park (essentially Agoura Hills).
My overall impression of Gladstones is that «looks can be deceiving». The donuts in the case look quite appetizing. The issue is that the donuts lacked any satisfying flavors. The chocolate bar and the maple donuts were dry and bland. I do appreciate a light tasting donut but I almost felt cheated after consuming the 2 donuts. The best way to describe it, I was unsatisfied…
With calories being so precious, donuts are typically a special treat for me. It’s unfortunate that the donuts at Gladstone’s were disappointing. Maybe I got a bad batch or I was given a day-​old donut. With that, a 1 star review didn’t seem appropriate. Because I’m willing to give Gladstone’s a 2^nd chance I’ll give it 2 stars.

CASH ONLY. Didn’t realize stores still operate that way. Kinda shocking. Thankfully I had enough change in the bottom of my purse to come up with the $ 7.49 for the dozen. I understand not wanting to pay debit/​cc fees on little transactions like .85 cents for a single donut. Most places charge ³⁵⁄₅₀ cents for purchases under ⁵⁄₁₀ $
Not the best/​not the worst donuts we have ever had.

great donuts. good boba. great prices.
the boba balls were a little soft but my honeydew slush was still delicious

We used to love to drop by here after school and grab a doughnut or some boba (although to be honest the boba was really gross. Don’t get it… standards were a bit lower in high school). The doughnuts are super cheap and usually made fresh in the store at least the morning of. It used to be very popular for birthday parties at the elementary schools before the schools decided it wasn’t very healthy :(
Nice large selection of doughnuts — I love their apple culler roll thing — it’s seriously amazing, with cinnamon and some apple pieces mixed in. droooool
I remember back in the day when it was still owned by the very nice Asian family — the dad would be at the counter doing sales while the daughter and mom would be making doughnuts in the back. They used to throw in a free one for me whenever my parents bought a large order of doughnuts for events. I think they got bought out by a larger company — now the quality of the doughnuts is still the same, but somehow it doesn’t have that mom-​n-​pop vibe anymore.
Very cheap and very delicious. Cash only!

A donut shop… next to my gym… (sigh)… son of a bitch…
Star 1 — How was the service and atmosphere?
Comfortable and full of the most amazing scents you can imagine, Gladstone’s atmosphere is complemented by friendly and knowledgeable service. While their «cash only» policy is a bit annoying, you can easily be in and out in under a minute, which makes for a great pit stop before work (or in my case… before what became an extended visit to the gym). Star Granted.
Star 2 — How were the portions relative to the cost?
See this picture? This glorious, beautiful, mouth-​watering picture?
That right there? That cost me $ 1.35 after tax… that’s it, and you’d better believe that baby weighed in at well over 100g. Outside of a beautiful selection of donuts, Gladstone’s is the definition of affordable. Want your friends or co-​workers to like you more? Drop no more than $ 5 at Gladstone’s and you’ll be king of the workplace having brought in a mountain of donuts. Star Granted.
Stars ¾ — How was the food?
As if that picture isn’t evident enough, my donut was good, and I may have even wept a bit upon leaving knowing that I’d only been able to try one of the many donut options. Yes, they’ve got other things on the menu, and I having 8 flavors of Dryer’s ice cream available is a definite perk, but as is often the case, when a place is called «Gladstone’s Donuts», it’s pretty much code for «don’t get anything except the donuts». The only thing that’s hindering two stars here is the fact that even though their donuts are good, Best Donuts is so close:
. Yes, you’ll get a good donut at Gladstone, but with the best donuts I’ve ever had being served within a few minute’s drive, I can’t grant two stars here. Single Star Granted.
Star 5 — Would you eat it every day if you could?
Gladstone dishes up good donuts at great prices, but unless you work in the area, much like Stan’s, Gladstone is a bit out of the way, and their donuts aren’t as good as Best Donuts just off of Thousand Oaks up the road. For that reason, I can’t say I’d come here on the daily. No Star Granted.

Any Place where you can get a doughnut the size of your head is a place I want to eat at again. Having come here twice now, I feel, as Unilocaler, it is my duty to give you the low down on Gladstones.
This place has great doughnuts, im talking big and tasty. Their old fashion doughnuts are amazing and the ultra big glazed are a force to be reckoned with. I just had one and split it 4 ways and we still had some left over. Mind you it was right after we ate breakfast. I will also be winning the mega lottery from the ticket I purchased here.

A classic neighborhood donut shop. Small, family-​run, and fresh made donuts. We just discovered this place when we moved to town. The donuts are better than Yum-​Yum and the staff is very friendly. The only downside is it gets a bit hot in there and there is very limited indoor seating. But it’s a great place to pick up soem donuts and take them home.

The donuts are good. The boba though is kind of hit and miss
Sometimes the boba is actually pretty decent, but other times it feels really mushy and gross. It is the only boba place for miles, so if you want some boba without having to go far, this is a place to try your luck.

Gladstone Donuts, formally Donut Inn for you Oak Park purists, is a donut lovers dream.
Whether you need coffee, a soda, breakfast, or just a sweet treat, head to Gladstone’s. You may have heard of Gladstone’s in Malibu, a seafood restaurant. Well, it’s $ 40 for a plate of mussels there… and only .75 cents at the similarly named donut shop. I choose .75, and I choose donut.
Need a suggestion? Try the old fashioned. Last time I was in Oak Park I bought every old fashioned donut they had, then I made them bake as many as they could by that evening so I was able to consume as many as possible in the weekend I was there.
Check it out on your way to work, grab a dozen for the office staff… they might like you a little more after you do that.

The Fresh & Easy that just opened up in this shopping center, seems to have plumped up this shopping center with more folks. Although I feel like the locals already knew of Tony’s Pizza, and others located here, including Gladstone’s.
When in need of a donut, I can count on Gladstone’s to deliver. 75cents per regular donut. And they have quite a selection of not just donuts, but other things like chips, bagels, plus a bunch of smoothies type drinks. (Which I have not tried).
I’ve had better donuts in my lifetime, in fact I wasn’t too happy with Gladston’es version of a Buttermillk donut. But that’s because I’ve been spoiled by Don’s Donuts in Arcata.
