Upland Donuts

My family loves them! Line out the door. Get there early if you don’t want to wait in line. It’s crazy busy, and that’s always a sign a place is legit. check it out if you’re in the area and thank me later.

Will forever be the best donuts around. If I ever move out of Upland, I would drive all the way back for these donuts. 10x better than all those more known chains.

Best donuts hands down, fresh, moist and delicious. You can usually get them hot out the fryer. The hot glaze donuts just melt in your mouth, yum!

They have such dense and fluffy donuts! Their icing is so decadent and overpoweringly rich and sweet, but I love it! Perfect consistency all around. Giving 4 stars because they always run out of the croissants. Love this place, but would love it even more if they accepted credit cards.

The Best donut place around. The owners are the nicest people and very accommodating. They do take special orders just give 24hr notice

These are the best donuts ever! They are so fresh and they are never too greasy. My favorite thing about them is their French crullers. They have homemade cherry glaze and vanilla. It’s difficult to find the French crullers because donut shops don’t want to make them anymore. They also have great jalapeño and ham croissants! I have been here so many times and have never been let down.

Love the donuts here, always seem to be fresh when I come in and never a bad experience. Friendly staff and good donuts !

Wanted to get my son his first donut and I’ve gone to this donut shop when I was younger I always remembered it being good. The place is small but located conveniently by my house. We got a chocolate twist which was all deformed but fluffy and delicious. The donuts looked sloppy but tasted great and the custard filled was not skimped had plenty of custard and was again fluffy and fresh tasting. Overall I was really happy with the taste of the donuts unfortunately unhappy with the service. The lady at the front counter was not helpful and rude .She did not look happy to be helping anyone.

Service was amazing. Donuts were INCREDIBLE. Get there early though the line was already out the door when I went at 6am.

Hands down the best donuts in the IE! Soft, freshly made daily, and absolutely delicious.
Cash only!!! And they often sell out of certain things, so hit this place up early.
Nice family run establishment and they have been in Upland for many years.

I have an unhealthy relationship with donuts. And nothing is better than a good donut after a bike race up mount baldy in 100* heat.
But I’m also a donut snob and relative to my gold standard (DKs) other options (Yum Yums) don’t often cut it. This place had some strong endorsement and the most reviews so I gave it a shot and wasn’t disappointed. Selection was surprisingly small particularly for a Saturday morning but the maple glazed buttermilk donut was actually better than DKs. It hit the spot and while I can’t speak to their other donuts they won me over. Kudos, Upland donuts.

I have been going here at least once a week for about three years now and I still crave it. If you’re looking for a plain no gimmicks perfect every time donut. This is your place. Their donuts are perfection. I have had everything they have to offer and I love it all.
I get on kicks with this place and my latest obsession is their apple turnover. Flaky light airy and jammed full of Apple goodness.
If you are with in 5 miles of this place and are thinking about getting donuts this is the place you need to be. Upland Donuts is the Mecca of donuts.
The line is usually 10 to 15 people deep so get there early.

BEST donuts around! The maple bars just melt in your mouth. All donuts are fresh and yummy.
My boss asks me to bring donuts down when I make my trek to the office in the OC.

OMG! This was the best Chocolate bar donut I have ever had! I’ve been a loyal donut man customer but the regular non-​fancy Classic donuts are way better here at upland donuts! The lady working the counter was so sweet! They were out of cronuts unfortunately, I really wanted to try one!

Such an unassuming little shop, in an unassuming shopping center. We popped in because we *needed* a donut, and the supermarket next door, weirdly, doesn’t have a bakery.
Fortunately, this place is right door, and makes the most amazing, light as air donuts. There aren’t any artisan varieties here — just iced cake donuts with sprinkles, and simple glazed bars and donuts. (I did spy a sign for a cronut, but not the cronut itself.) All of them — even the cake donuts — are supremely fresh and light.
The store is just a donut case and a counter — no place to sit — and it’s cash only.

I was in Upland with an hour to kill on a saturday morning, I took my boys and said let’s Unilocal the best doughnut around. Unilocal didn’t disappoint. We find in a grocery store plaza this tiny hole in the wall with a line out to the parking lot. These aren’t the Silverlake hipster nutella/​bacon/​mandarin creation kind of doughnuts — just traditional flavors done right and rolling out hot and fresh.
One of the best doughnuts I’ve ever had.

Every time I bring my beagles to the vet in this shopping center, I see this donut shop out of the corner of my eye. «Don’t stop!“says the angel on my right shoulder. «Go ahead, STOP!» says the devil on my left shoulder. I usually listen to the angel, but a couple of weeks ago, I told her to shut up and locked her in the trunk. Then I stopped the car, and me and the other guy went into the shop. We had cream puffs and this large delicious cinnamon twist – reminded me of a churro. Absolutely delicious!

If «Krispy Kreme» style doughnuts are your style of doughnuts, then this place if for you. The doughnuts here all have that «fresh out of the hot oil» taste to them and are soft, sweet and (if you’re getting a non-​cake doughnut) slightly chewy.
I ordered the following: Glaze doughnut, apple fritter, ham and cheese croissant and sprinkled cake doughnut.
The apple fritter was very oily around the edges. All the edge tasted like was oil, and when I crushed a bit of it between my fingers there was more oil than glaze left on them. So I’m not a fan of their apple fritter.
The ham and cheese croissant wasn’t fluffy and flaky (like I like ‘em). It was a good value (at $ 2.50) but I’d rather pay an addition $ 1.00 or so to get more than two thin slices of ham in it. The taste of the croissant was yummy, but I wish it was more filling.
My niece didn’t like the glaze doughnut, but I thought it was BETTER than a Krispy Kreme (because it was bigger and fluffier). But, like I said, you’ve gotta be a fan of the «Krispy Kreme» style doughnut. When I asked my niece why she didn’t like it, she replied that she likes the «big fluffy» (doughy) doughnuts better. She also said it was too sweet (which shocked the heck outta me to hear that coming from her or any kid for that matter). Lol.
The sprinkled cake doughnut was perhaps the best thing I ate. It was beautifully crisp on the outside but soft and moist on the inside. It had plenty of frosting and plenty of sprinkles.
Averaging out the items I tasted (and shared) I can’t rate this doughnut shop higher. As Unilocal!indicates, this place is «A-​OK» for me, but nothing I’d drive across town for.

I was in the area Friday 11÷28÷14 and craving a good donut. Unilocal reviews brought me to Upland Donuts.
With the popularity of this place, it appears they sell out fast. Coming in shy of 9:30am on a Friday choices were limited, but was able to snag the last maple old fashioned along with a glazed old fashioned. Donuts were very good, but IMHO were just like any other «good» donut shop. Both old fashioned donuts were good with ample coverage of maple and sugar glaze. I did get some glazed donut holes and enjoyed them. Many here on Unilocal refer them to Krispy Kreme like. I did not find that to be the case, but they were out of the regular glazed donuts so judging by the donut holes would not be a fair comparison.
If craving a donut and in the area, I would stop by here, but would not make a special trip as again; I would say this place is like many other good donut places I’ve been to all over Southern California. As for the Upland area, a solid donut shop. Service was great and those behind the counter were very friendly!

Let me start off by saying, «I love donuts!» My family and I are the type that will drive an hour to get a good donut. No joke. That said, we love this place and we don’t have to drive an hour!
Ambiance: It’s a donut shop! Buy your donuts and go.
Food: While most donut spots cook their donuts in the early morning hours and that’s it, this place seems to cook throughout the morning. We have purchased donuts here around 9 or so and I saw the baker making a fresh batch of maple bars. Speaking fresh, that’s the best way I can describe their donuts. They have all the regular donut flavors plus a few others (i.e. cream puffs). They do have cronuts here, but not what you would expect. It’s basically just layered dough deep fried (no hole). It’s not bad, but I prefer the simplicity of their other selections. Oh, and did I mention they have fresh cake donut holes! *drool*
Price: On par with all other donut shops.
Customer Service: Awesome! Every time we come here, they are always so nice. It appears to be a mom and pop shop (What donut shop isn’t?) with two asian girls (daughters, nieces, etc.) running the front.
Overall, I would say this is the best donut shop in the Upland/​Rancho Cucamonga area. Quality product, great prices, good customer service… Everything I could ask for from my donut dealer. Needless to say, this is now our go to, local, donut spot.
That’s all for now. Until next time… happy Unilocaling!
