Friendly Donuts

The prices are outrageous. 1 cronut 4.75!, 1 maple bar, 2 cake donuts and a tigers tail for 11.15? I was shocked and should have left. The quality, taste is no better than a donut from Vons.
My advise go to DK’s Donuts. More inexpensive and much better tasting.

Not Unilocaling for the free donut. Not even going to redeem it.
I just got a glazed bacon donut and it had a good amount of bacon for 2.95 $ i would so definitely come back again since they’re 24 hours and on the way to and from campus to home. Guy at the counter is nice. They have a unique selection. I’m going to have to dry the ice blended drinks next time.

Damn when did all the donut shops become so fancy?! Was passing by, stopped at a red light in front of this shop, and saw a sign in the window for Ube donuts. Decided to step in and was surprised by the large selection of «craft» donuts. Left with some ube donuts, peanut butter oreo donut, and a freshly baked jalapeño ham and cheese croissant. Everything was pretty good. There were donuts that had various cereal toppings that looked good too, but I was on a diet (?). Pricey for some of the fancier donuts in the $ 2-​$ 3 range, but hey price is where the supply line crosses the demand line, right?

ok taste.
quite pricey for the ube ice cream donut sandwich for $ 3.90
ok to try once.

For Valentines Day, one of my coworkers brought everyone Valentines Day donuts! I’m a big fan of doughnuts, especially Krispy Kreme glazed donuts because they taste like little heavens of air when you pop them into your mouth.
I wasn’t expecting much out of a regular sprinkle donut… but OH MAN, it was delicious! The glaze and sprinkles on the top of the donut were crunchy and stuck perfectly to the doughnut as I took each bite (don’t you hate it when a donut falls apart when you are trying to eat it?) The cake part of the donut was soft and perfectly moist. It was a delicious pairing; crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.
It looks like they have some interesting donuts from looking at Unilocal pictures. I’ll definitely have to stop by here myself to try some of their other donuts :)

The dossants here are sooooo bomb. The regular glazed ones are probably my favorite. Super crispy and flakey and uncontrollable binge eating goodness.
Although their donuts are extravagant in flavor assortment already, I still get a couple, half them and then combine them and it’s just an amazing matrimony of sweet tooth satisfying perfection.
Friendly Donuts certainly live up to their name. The employees are the most welcoming and genuine people ever.
The menus and tables with seating have been recently updated so the atmosphere looks amazing as the donuts.
Some people say the sweetness factor is a little too overbearing, but it’s a donut shop… Like what’s the problem?

Wow i forgot review this place last year,
Best place in the county hands down. Love the pride that was devoted to this shop, wish there were more locations great establishment no other donut shop could fulfill
The amount of craftsmanship & pride with these donuts,
Deactived my Facebook, i have pics of what i had.
This place is a MUST believe me.

I just had the ube donut ice cream sandwich
for the first time, recommended to me by a friend,
It is delicious! The ube on ube action is heaven.
Youll love it.

Patch P. was craving for some pastries and I decided to surprise him with some donuts as he wasn’t able to pick up some in the morning before work. There were mixed reviews on this place, but I was enticed by their ube flavored donuts, so I made my way other there. They have a huge selection of doughssants that looked quite tiny, but pleasing to the eye. I opted for the ube flavored doughnut with blueberry glaze and received almond spinkled chocolate cake donut as a complimentary for checking in. For $ 1.65 for both donuts, it doesn’t break the bank and totally satisfied our sweet tooth! Nothing too crazy that I’d go out of my way for since I live near a bunch of other donut shops. However, I’m willing to stop by on a future visit to try their ice cream donut sandwich when time allows!

The other night I was feeling like a fatty wanting all sweets so what do I do? I show up here and spend over $ 30 on donuts to stuff my face with delicious sweetness! I must say that when you walk into a donut shop that has variety of specialty donuts it’s hard to walk out with one or two! I definitely fill up a box!
I saw lots of reviews about the ube donut so I had to try. Ube is a purple Asian yam. I didn’t know this beforehand so I thought that was pretty cool. I got an ube cake donut which I loved. I liked that it wasn’t overly sweet and had the right glaze. We got a mix of different donuts and cronuts! Some of my fave were the s’mores and Nutella cronuts! The s’mores had toasted marshmallows on top and the Nutella was stuffed with fresh strawberries!!! So delicious!!! Another fave was the jelly filled pop-​tart donut which had some delicious strawberry jam inside! Oh yes, and I can’t forget the peanut butter cup donut filled with delicious creamy peanut butter.
We tried others too but they didn’t stand out like the ones I noted above!!! As for service the man helping us was awesome! He was very nice and patient while we selected. He gave us three donuts for free. You get one with check in so he added two more for us. Thy are open 24hrs which doesn’t help with late might munchies like the one that drove me here to start! I’ll definitely be back:-))

I had seen this place through a couple of my frienda ig post and it looked awesome. Man had I not bought their poptart donut I probably would have given this place a 4 star but that donut was absolutely terrible. It was super sweet to the point of unbearable. My sweet tooth is ok I guess but this was just too much. Still there were some definite highlights about this place. For starters the ube donut and ube ice cream combination was absolutely remarkable. The donut itself had great texture and when combined with the ice cream just creates heaven for the taste buds. Good call Van D. for the ube ice cream donut which was the ultimate highlight here. Lowlight… poptart donut (good to look at but not to eat).
The rest of the donuts I bought were easily forgettable. Come to think of it I can’t even remember half of them. The maple bacon was one of the few I did remember. I did like the bacon at first but after a while it was getting tedious. Right!!! tedious of bacon (who am I). The dosant itself was just ok. It was too spectacular either.
I’m so use to the dozen deals I donut places that every time I’m at a donut shop I feel obligated to get about a dozen. Next thing you know I’m racking up 27 bucks worth of donuts. Ah wells thug life. The service was average. The dude wasn’t really enthusiastic but it was pretty late and I guess he was getting aggravated with all the donuts I was picking up loll. The place was a typical donut shop. There’s plenty of seats available and also an ATM machine in the far left corner. I didn’t see a restroom though which I found strange.
PS small parking complex
PPS didn’t finish the donut box, yeah it wasn’t all that good

I have had this place bookmarked since I saw the glorious Ube donut with the huge scoop of Ube ice cream on my Unilocal feed. I was honestly ready to give this place five stars but the delivery fell short of my expectations.
Of course I didn’t expect amazingly friendly service, just because they are called «Friendly Donuts,» but the guy who helped us was probably the most grumpy slooooowwwwww unhappy guy ever. I came here with my Unilocal-​migo Truong T. and he bought about $ 30 in donuts but the guy who was helping us acted somewhat annoyed when we were not done with our order yet. And even though I showed him my check-​in from the start, he had forgotten to calculate that into our order and instead he made us choose one more donut even though we didn’t want anymore.
I tried the Maple Bacon Dosant. I was told that their special bacon here was soaked in maple. I was just a bit disappointed by the dosant itself. It was not light and flakey at all. I started just eating the bacon off the top.
The Red Velvet Cheesecake was okay, a bit on the dense side. It could have used a little more cheesecake frosting on top. I much prefer the Red Velvet Cheesecake I’ve had previously from The Donuttery in Huntington Beach.
That Ube donut with the scoop of Ube ice cream is definitely the only thing that would bring me back here. The Ube donut was cut in half and a huge scoop of Ube ice cream was inside. The donut was a bit hard, but that was to be expected since we came so late. A part of my felt like I only liked it because of the ice cream. Oh well…
I might have still given them a 4 star if it wasn’t for the incredibly grumpy service, not only to us but to their other customers as well. I know that they are open ²⁴⁄₇ but I heard him tell another customer that another guy was coming at 10pm. If I was almost off my shift I would be so excited!

Ube sandwich– Ube donut split in half with Ube ice cream in between. The ube ice cream was really good. I love how purple it was too. The ube donut was okay, not too sweet probably because of the ice cream
Blueberry donut– AMAZING! there was so much flavor to it. Totally recommend it!
The store is clean and open ²⁴⁄₇. Service was a bit slow though.

I came here on the busiest day of the year: National Donut Day! I came at the tail end of the evening, almost midnight. They had been up and working since 4 am and they already had lines that wrapped around the building! Despite their long day, the service was amazing! They were all super friendly. They offered to give us free donuts since we checked in on Unilocal!
They still had fresh donuts rolling out of the oven! We bought 2 boxes worth of donuts and cronuts. I am a fan of the Ube glazed donut and the blueberry glazed donut! These are probably two of the better tasting donuts I’ve had to date. I ate them for the entire weekend! I even managed to save a couple to bring back to my fiancé and he swears the Ube donuts are the best ever! I looked over and he was done with both of them in seconds! He wished I had brought more back with me.
I love the unique flavors they carry. They also have exceptional customer service. Definitely a fan of this place! It was worth the drive from Cerritos just for donuts!

I seldom will drive the distance unless it’s like the extreme craving Chel gets. I’ve been fighting this URI the entire week and was on zpack and all. So the moment I was able to have my essential senses back –smell and taste — I knew I was headed to OC to try their all time popular ube donut with ube ice cream, together!
The gentleman behind the glass cases was so sweet and nice telling me all their popular items. But I pretty much said to him that anything ube he has I need to try! Hahaha
I mentioned to him VooDoo in Portland and maple in Vancouver BC from my recent vacay, and that quickly got his attention. He gave me that l o o k…
So, I had to fill up the little box with other assortments from the glass case. Strawberry sprinkles-​eh… OG glaze-​yum… a dozen cake donut hole-​ok… ube glaze donut-​gtfo… maple bacon dossant-​bacon was warm and crispy and maple was not overly sweet… ube donut with ube ice cream — kill me now… and a taro ice smoothie –f the calories, bring it! … i needed it to wash all the goodness and yummyness down!
I will soooooooooo come back!!!

I keep discovering a bunch of different donut places on Instagram, including this one, and none of them have been very great except that they are only visually appealing.
The dossants are difficult to eat by hand or with a fork. They break apart and aren’t soft and flaky like a croissant should be, not to mention that the tops sometimes separate from the bottom. I didn’t find anything special about the M&M’s donut either; it’s like the toppings are trying to compensate for the mediocre doughy bottoms.
The red velvet and ube donuts were probably my favorite, I would recommend getting a donut of that texture if you go. They have plenty of parking spaces and the tables inside are nicely lighted and clean. Credit/​debit cards have a 75 cent service fee which I learned the hard way r.i.p.

This place was next off my donut checklist and I’m glad I came here because I mainly wanted to come here for their poptart donut and they had only one left! I have to say it was da bomb diggity and worth this trip! So unique and I have found a new love for jelly donuts!
He has lots of basic donuts at this shop… «Dossants» aka cronuts, regular cake donuts, tiger tails, apple fritters, and a variety of his special ube donuts (which I have not tried yet). Beware of the cereal donuts might be stale. And cake donuts were real soft. I like the slight crisp on the outside of basic donuts. But I still ate it and it was guuuud
The worker was super «FRIENDLY» (haaha, get it?!) and gave us two free donuts! I’m not too sure if he was the owner but he did move kinda slow. We got 6 donuts for $ 15 plus the two free ones. Pretty pricey to me.
What I like about this place is that they accept card, unlike most donut places who only take cash. There is a 75 cent transaction fee which might be even cheaper than the fee for taking out cash at the atm they have in there.

This place has a great selection of donuts and donut/​croissant hybrids. They can execute their version of the cronut pretty well but I came here for the ube ice cream donut sandwich.
The ube donut itself does not have that much of an ube flavor. Really the only ube I tasted was because of the ice cream sandwiched between.
I also got to try the Samoa doussant, which was satisfying but not jaw dropping.
I’ll come back for round 2 and an update, hopefully with a better review of something that stands out. However, the place has friendly staff and is open 24/​7, both pluses. I shall return!

I came here to try the Ube Ice cream sandwich and was not disappointed — in fact, this was probably one of the best ice cream/​donut sandwiches I’ve ever had. That being said, the other donuts I’ve tried have ranged from mediocre to decent.
The first time I tried an ice cream donut sandwich was at the much raved about After’s, which in my opinion is just okay. The donut there is really soft, so there really is no textural contrast between the donut and the ice cream… leading to a very messy, one-​textured, overly sweet calorie bomb.
The one served here, on the other hand, was a lot better. The donut itself is sliced in half and a generous scoop of bright purple, ube ice cream is sandwiched in between the halves. The donut itself is delightfully light and slightly crumbly, which when paired with the creamy texture of the ice cream, is really delicious. Reasonable price, good flavors without being overly sweet, and nice textures. Yum!
It should be noted, however, (as other reviewers have mentioned) that the ube flavor is not super prominent, so if that’s what you’re looking for, then you might be disappointed.
I also tried a couple of their cronuts, their red velvet (free with check in), and their maple old fashioned. The cronuts were decent, but would not go out of my way to get again. Their red velvet was really mediocre and bland. So much so that I didn’t even bother getting a free one the second time I checked in here. The maple old fashioned was just okay as well — I think the ones at donuttery are much better, as the maple glaze had an off-​putting, almost plasticky artificial aroma.
Again, would be back for their ube ice cream sandwich for sure, and that’s probably what I’ll stick with.

The selection here is AMAZING!!!
By far one of my favorite places to grab donuts/​cronuts!
The service is exceptional, the prices are fair and the variety…
I seriously wanted one of everything BAD.
Having several stops planned that day I went with the samoas cronut and it was everything!
Crisp, soft, sugary, chocolatey, coconut, caramel, everything I love was present.
My husband got himself a plain coconut and loved it as well.
A fried peanut butter pocket, as decadent as it sounds.
Easy parking, great hours, THIS is where to go for something unique, super tasty and if you want some of the best cronuts around!
