Colonial Bakery

Would give 1 or 2 for location and look. It’s sort of in the middle of nowhere, and it looks quite dirty inside. However the donuts were very good and the price was great (80 cents) !

I have been coming here for years. I live in the neighborhood and this is a great place to stop on your way to work. They serve fresh donuts made that morning, and great breakfast’s at a cheap price. Their breakfast sandwiches are fat and tasty. The owners are husband and wife, and have owned this donut shop more then 35 years. Its not much to look at, but its clean and across the street from the Metro Blue Line Pacific Station. You cant go wrong here!

First time here. The place is not so atteactive but they have the beat donuts I have try and also mocha was good! And really cheap! I Will come again for sure

This place is pretty popular. For a good reason too. I eat the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant. They actually cook a fresh egg, it isn’t a pre-​made fast food style egg. I lovveee it. They also sell pretty cheap coffee and donuts.

I’ve been coming to this little donut shop for about 3 years now… I work just a few block away. Their donuts never disappoint. They’re always fresh and really soft, which I love. Today, I had one of their breakfast sandwiches for the first time… just a regular bacon and egg sandwich, and I have to say it was very good. The bacon had the perfect crisp to it and they weren’t stingy with the bacon, the portion was perfect. Besides their yummy treats, I have to add that their customer service is always great. The two ladies are so kind and friendly and they always, I mean always greet you with a smile. :)

Friendly service, awesome donuts, and tasty sandwiches. This place is great, the food is always fresh, and it’s conveniently located downtown.
Love this donut spot.

Every time I come into this place, they never have any fresh donuts… it’s like they stop baking donuts after 6a… what about the people that don’t wake up at 5a? I go in at 9a on a Sunday and expect there to be a great selection of donuts. NOT THE CASE! I went in this morning and there were a bunch of old stale donuts sitting behind the glass. I walked right out of the place and went back home. Very disappointed that this place calls themselves a donut shop.

Great donuts and breakfast too!

Ok, I love it!!! Coming back again and again.

Well I’m finally getting around to leaving a review for Colonial, and I have to say, I enjoyed it. It’s not some fancy-​pants gourmet doughnut shop, it’s a mom and pop donut joint. As such, they have all of your usual suspects. Glazed, chocolate covered, apple fritters, jelly and cream filled, maple something. No, you probably won’t find some seasonal «pumpkin spice doughnut with caramel glaze», but if you just have an itch for a nice donut to go with your morning coffee and a book, drop on by.
Today I had a cinnamon crumb cake type donut, I picked it because of it’s crumbly outer texture. Great choice! Think coffee cake, but round. Heated it up for 20 seconds in the microwave and it was grade A fantastic! :)
Another review mentioned a mixed crowd in here and it’s true, you see everything from families to yardbirds to some that I suspect might be homeless. That being said, I’ve never been hassled or had any sort of problem when coming here.

I live about two blocks away from Colonial. The reason why I give them 5 stars is because they truly have great doughnuts. There sandwiches are also excellent for the price.
This place is NOT vegan, yes it serves unhealthy foods and since it’s located in downtown, the people are not your yuppie type.
I realize that we are free to express our thoughts, but try to understand that this is an OLD café in downtown… yes it needs paint and it can use a lot of upgrades, but with upgrades come higher prices.
I used to patronize them almost everyday for a Cinnamon roll and coffee… sometimes there egg sandwich that was always awesome. Now that I’m Vegan for almost two years I’ve not been there since May of 2012. I no longer eat meat of any kind or dairy and I may have a doughnut once a year, but it won’t be because I bought it.
In conclusion, some of the best cafes and restaurants are hole in the walls. They may not be the best looking and the clientele may not ever be your type to become your best friends, but they are a piece of history. I would have never thought to even imagine there food to be healthy and vegan… really! How about a piece of beach front property in Texas.

Tasty croissants, good maple bars. My favorite thing from here is the cinnamon roll. The custard filled leaves a little to be desired, but still better then no donut. The people behind the counter are friendly and there are always people eating and hanging around the place, so that’s good. Give it a try, even a bad donut is still a donut…

Okay donut shop. Donuts are okay, can’t really mess them up. This place is crowded with a bunch of f*ck ups talking about how their life sucks all nice and loud so everyone in the donut shop can here. This place desperately needs some fresh paint, new flooring and pretty much new everything. Everything looks old and dirty and really could use some remodeling.

We stopped by on a Sunday morning for a quick donut and coffee. Service was quick and priced right ($ 2.50 for 2 donuts and a coffee). The interior is aged and seating is limited so it’s probably better suited for grab and go. Both donuts were fresh and tasty and the coffee was straightforward. Don’t expect fancy creamers and gourmet treats! Ha! Colonial– simple, quick, and bang for your buck.

Donuts are great, for about the price you’d expect. Their breakfast sandwiches are also great, and pretty cheap… though… *amazingly* unhealthy. I can just *feel* the oil dripping out every time I pick one up. Probably why they taste so good.
Fun fact: they filmed one scene in Dexter here!
If they really did mislead people into thinking nonvegan donuts were vegan, that’s pretty lame of them, but I hadn’t heard anything about it until just now, have no idea of the accuracy of that claim, and anyway, that doesn’t change my opinion of the quality of the food or service, even if it is pretty lame of them.

Colonial Bakery is a Mom & Pop store that sells average food for a low price. But with a donut and a hamburger for less than $ 3, I’m not complaining (that much, anyway). I got a chocolate raised donut and I’ve had better (go to Broadway Donuts). The hamburger had onions, pickles, mayo, and tomatoes, and it’s probably more of a snack than a meal for most people due to the size.
This isn’t a place I would sit down and eat. It’s walking distance for me so I would be back only if I was looking for a really quick bite and was low on cash. It’s not a horrible place but it’s not on the top of my list either.

GREATEST DONUTS IN TOWN SINCE I WAS VERY YOUNG.
I grew up around this donut shop, i’ve never had trouble and lets face it, this donuts are the fucking greatest, never had any that taste any better.
Their chocolate twist donuts are a favorite and also that heated ham and cheese croissant. Take those and a Knudsen Chocolate milk and you are good to go!
If you ate one of these thinking they were vegan or not YOU KNOW IT WAS THE GREATEST DONUTS YOU HAVE EVER HAD!

I drove past 3 donut shops on my way to work this morning debating if I wanted donuts or some French toast sticks from one of those chain fast food places. My last chance for a stop for breakfast and those sugar energy balls was Colonial Bakery.
I was able to turn into a parking lot next to Colonial’s and the Mexican restaurant and find parking no problem.
Colonial was pretty busy this morning but service was quick and easy with 2 Asian ladies behind the counter. I hit them up for 3 apple fritters for my BFFs at work and I and the cost was only $ 3.70. Not bad for 3 pretty good size individually bagged fritters. I’ve had bigger and more tastier apple fritters elsewhere and closer to home, but the fritters here weren’t too bad and hit the spot.
They had plenty of other donuts in the display and seems like they sell regular burgers for lunch and also bagels. Another donut shop in the not so great area on LB with some pretty good eats. I don’t know about all that VEGAN talk from the others… but if you’re consuming VEGAN DONUTS… I think you better go to a vegetarian restaurant or bakery.
DONUTS FTW!!!

Do NOT go here if you’re vegan! They intentionally misled members of the community and even a local vegan restaurant owner into believing many of their donuts were vegan. They only showed partial ingredients lists when asked. Turns out, the donuts contain milk products.
Unfortunately I ate donuts from Colonial — THINKING they were vegan — several times before I found out. They even sold dozens of donuts to local vegan events. I’m just thankful I am vegan for ethical reasons and not someone with a severe food allergy.
Shady business practices, do not want.

Turns out this bakery’s «vegan» donuts are not vegan after all and contain milk products. Inquiring businesses and people were only shown partial ingredient lists.
This is blatent lying and misrepresentation and for those of us who are vegan, it’s downright sickening.
Peace out, Colonial. You’ll never get my business again, and I will make sure everyone I talk to knows you’re dishonest. You should be ashamed of yourselves and thankful that your lying didn’t kill anyone with an allergy.
