48 Best Donuts near Lake Forest

“Great donuts at understandable prices. We went on a busy Friday morning, and the person behind the counter was fast, friendly, and efficient. I did have to go back inside because I didn't get any napkins, and they aren't out on the counter to just grab, but she handed me a nice handful. The donuts look and taste amazing. And they have a decent selection of beverages available. In my pictures, you can see the current menu prices (as of February 2022).“

“Donuts are good. The staff is super friendly and nice. They have tamales and champurrado which I have tried and must say is pretty good. Have been here several times and will keep coming as long as the service stays the same. Happy customer.“

“Absolutely love Royal Pastries & Doughnuts! Every item I’ve tried has been fresh, delicious, and beautifully made. The doughnuts are perfectly soft and not overly sweet, and the pastries taste like they’re straight out of a European bakery. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a charming, cozy vibe. This has quickly become my go-to spot for a sweet treat and coffee. Highly recommended!“

“A great place with amazing food that never disappoints! Their service is outstanding, they do whatever it takes to make sure me and my guests get the best breakfast burritos in town. It is the unofficial Sunday burrito provider for our Angels entertainment team!“

“The best breakfast burrito and sandwich of my life. Linda’s knows how to be generous with their portions and make a hearty breakfast. I love this place, ever since I discovered it I’ve been telling all my friends and family. Their doughnuts are always so fresh and taste better than anywhere else and they have cute designs and variety of flavors. Their orange juice is actually hand squeezed unlike other places that say it is but really isn’t. I couldn’t rave about this place more really.“

“I got a 3 leches cake this past Saturday (9/13) and let me tell you the flavor was amazing. I haven’t had a delicious and moist 3 leches cake in a long time. We would usually buy it from el Molino across the street but the past years their cakes have been super dry! It has nothing of 3 leches,
I was at the plaza where Efren’s bakery is and saw on a facebook group recommending this bakery so decided to try it out, didn’t disappoint! Our guests loved the cake as well! We devoured it!
Will definitely be coming back for more cake and try also their pan dulce!!“

“This Dunkin location is amazing!! Their weekday morning crew is so friendly when taking drive-thru orders, and the food/drinks always come our really fast.Side note: their fall seasonal Apple Crisp refresher with green tea was the most amazing drink of all time, I hope they make it a regular refresher flavor.“

“Just visit it friendly donuts. I ordered the crème brûlée donuts. It was fantastic and the chai tea I recommended to anyone who loves good donuts.“

“Oliboli isn’t your typical walk-in, grab-a-donut, and head-out kind of shop. Instead of picking something out of a case, every donut is made fresh to order in the kitchen and handed to you warm within 3–5 minutes. Whatever topping or glaze you choose melts right into the donut and adds to the flavor instead of overpowering it. The donuts come out warm, light, and almost brioche-like, with just enough crispy edge to make each bite feel special. Plan on paying around $5-6 dollars per donut.

I ordered the Maple and the Autumn Sprinkle, and both were great for different reasons:

• Maple Glazed: Warm, soft, and perfectly glazed. The outside has a gentle crisp from the fryer, and the maple flavor isn’t overly sweet — super balanced. It reminds me of a really good old-fashioned but with more lift and a cleaner finish.
• Autumn Sprinkle: Fun, seasonal, and surprisingly flavorful. The glaze has a hint of vanilla, and the sprinkles add great texture without being overly crunchy or artificial. If you’re in a fall mood, this one nails it.

Overall, Oliboli is one of the few donut shops where you can tell every donut is made with intention. If you appreciate quality over quantity, this place is a must-visit in OC.“

“Great customer service! Great location! Yummy donuts!“

“Went looking for a great donut spot and this is by far the best one I’ve found. Definitely recommend and not too expensive.“

“This is one of the few places open early enough for me to be able to grab donuts before work. Everytime I go the lady is so sweet. The jalapeño ham and cheese croissant literally came out while I was there so I had to have one. It was so good and the donuts are delish as well. Will keep coming back as long as she’s open!“

“best maple bars anywhere! try the one with bacon😋“

“Wonderfully delicious and giant donuts for a cheap price. Nice employees. BUT, I don't like that they at least once went with the trend of more expensive and smaller. For example, there was an absolutely amazing cinnamon roll for $1, and it was literally the size of my head, but they made it half the size and 2-3x more expensive... This is the biggest example of what I said. Also, the shop closes way before 3:00 and you have to wake up really early or you can't make it before it closes...“

“Good, simple pastries and drinks. Open early, respectful service. The place reminds me of the kind of doughnut shop I have fond childhood memories of. No frills, clean, and consistent. The kind of shop that makes a community feel personal. No superficial smiles or trend pandering, just good business.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kid-oriented doughnut options“

“Absolutky hands down without a doubt the VERY BEST donut shop in Orange County.. possibly the world! Always fresh, prices are fair, and the service is top notch! This place is a Tustin icon i've been getting myself and my family donuts here for over 30 yrs and ive never had an experience anything short of perfect! A+++

Oh and if your in a hurry or dont want to get out of your warm car on a cold morning they have a drive through window.“

“Whoever the young man is with curly hair and wears a hat is….. he made my visit special. His customer service is the best in the area hands down. He is so young but his passion towards a customer at a simple donut shop is insane. I’ll come back here just because of the service he gave me and thats it. I make my own coffee at home and dont care to come out and eat a donut probably once every 3 months but because of him I wont feel bad to stop by. Great employees the owner should be proud!“

“Great donuts and kind employees. When I go here, it's usually at 5am right when they open and I pick up a dozen donuts, some muffins, and often a ham and cheese croissant. The donuts are always fresh and still coming out, and the croissants are fresh and hot. Their old fashion glaze, old fashion maple, and powdered cake donuts are my favorites 👍. Also really like the fat free bran muffin😄!“

“Pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. The owner was kind enough to come outside and take a photo for me and a business associate. I would go there again and highly recommend it.“

“Excellent service, very personable and sweet young lady at the counter! Everything is delicious! My orange smoothie with the added Boba was so tasty! I'll definitely be back and recommend to stop by for a yummy bagel and donut a drink.“

“IF YOURE CRAVING DONUTS COME HERE!!

Classic donut shop like what I grew up with in LA, but sooo much better because they’re open until 7 and have a drive through. I’ve been earlier in the day and right before close and some how the donuts still taste fluffy and delicious!

The owners are so nice and you can tell they truly care about the quality for their customers!! The glaze is consistent and creamy on all the donuts! The donuts them selves are moist and soft and never dry!

We love coming here and highly recommend! Best maple bar and old fashioned.“

“Omg! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. Came to kaiser for a doc app and was looking for donuts. Well, I now found my new breakfast burrito place. First bite melted in my mouth. The eggs are fluffy and have a great flavor. The tortilla is soft. Im not one for cheese on my food. But the cheese they use is also soft and melts right into the burrito. The salsa is a must to add onto before a bit. My new spot when I’m in the area 😍“

“The best thing about this place is that it opens super early before anything else is available, before 7am. There is a big donut selection, and also a decent selection of savory breakfast items. Food was fine. Service was fine. There is plenty of parking in the morning.“

“The Lox bagel sandwich is so good 😋💕 and the blueberry donuts are amazing! Also service is always 102038829191% amazing.“

“I just stopped to get some fresh donuts freshly squeezed orange juice and a cup of coffee to go and I can’t believe how beautiful the place looked inside it looks like they just remodeled everything if you want the best donuts in town this is a must stop place to eat“

“Update: Yep the pupusas still rock here! Had to stop in for a quick fix.

Hidden gem! This is a great place to grab donuts or papusas. Absolutely fantastic. I can get my fill of authentic pupusas while the kids can get really good donuts. Plus the service here is really good. Always so nice and friendly. Oh and if haven't tried pupusas you should. Personally I like the queso y revueltas. Cover them with cortido (it's not coleslaw) and salsa.“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“Stopped in to this shop and everything was delicious! Great variety of donuts, burritos were delicious! Staff was kind and helpful. 5 Stars definitely recommend this place.“

“I work walking distance and I have been waiting to check this place out. Thought the price was a bit pricey but the burrito was delicious! I didn't know it came with the tomato breakfast salsa (idk what you call it). I usually hate it but this was the best ine I have ever had. #17 no hash browns****“

“I love this donut store!!! The owner is sooo nice and it's never crowded in there. The donuts are reasonably priced and DELICIOUS. So fluffy and warm so unlike the crappy hard donuts that are so often made now. 10/10 stars! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“So this doughnut shop is inside the grocery / general store in the plaza. They offer so many unique doughnuts like various candy bar and cereal flavors, as well as some more traditional flavors. The doughnuts were delicious and a great find. It's definitely worth a trip to try some unique and tasty doughnuts.“

“Was visiting from out of town .always stop here for fresh coffee,and the breakfast burrito.grilled fresh.to order. happy to spend my money here .greeted respectfully here .descent salsa . Thank you

Kid-friendliness: Kids inside doing homework and eating .a safe place .

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking posted brightly .front. Door not heavy“

“That one piece of donut I bought tasted amazing. However, there were two workers that got into a heated argument. I overheard the bigger guy joking about how the smaller guy’s dad left him. He didn’t like that so he attacked him but the big dude accidentally punched him hard in the chest and he passed out after a while. I am a bit concerned…“

“BEST DONUTS EVER! SO SATISFYING“

“The Viejo bagel is one of my favorites! Good donuts! The blended mocha is excellent!“

“Love their donuts, I usually eat one or two at the store and take some to go. Can't wait until my next visit!“

“This is DEFINITELY the hidden South Orange County gem that the true locals around here know all about! Very friendly service. Donuts are great but their sandwiches are EXCELLENT. My tip: Always go with their longest length sandwich. I go with either pastrami, egg, or veggie sandwich -depending on the mood and always with everything on it. You get to choose a donut -I always go with plain, maple bar, chocolate cake, or chocolate frosted donut. Lastly you get a drink -I recommend the unsweetened ice tea. Why? Bc the dessert was the donut... No need to sugar your way up with anything moreGo here: Trust me you won't be disappointed“

“Absolutely love this place! Been going here for over 20 years and it's amazing how this place has stayed the same. Great quality, great staff and fair prices! If there's one certainty in this crazy, ever changing world, it's that K's donuts will always be delicious!“

“It’s my daughter’s birthday today. Thank you for the birthday treat - free dozen of donuts. She is super excited! She loves Krispy Kreme!“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“Literally reviewing as I’m still eating my donut (apple fritter, really) because it’s that good. I’m usually quite picky with donuts so I knew when I took my first bite I’d have to share a review. I also sampled the apple bear claw which was probably equally good but I’m—personally, anyway—in favor of the fritter. The woman that helped us was very nice and super generous. I was waffling over adding on a blueberry cake donut and boy was she right about trying it! Ok, I’m finished with the review, but not the fritter. It was huge and will still be enjoyed a second time later tonight.“

“I recently signed up for a coffee subscription with BHB Coffee, and I couldn’t be happier!

Their beans are top-notch, and they grind them perfectly for my Aeropress—makes every cup a dream.

Huge shoutout to their manager, El, for being super helpful, and to Aditi at the Alton Park location—she’s so polite and sincere, it’s always a pleasure interacting with her.

Amazing coffee and stellar customer service. Big fan here 👏“

“Tasty donuts and wonderful customer service! I brought some guests from Italy into this location because they wanted to try the best American donuts. Bayan was very kind and friendly to us and and she helped us choose a dozen donuts of assorted types and customer favorites. The KK donuts are always awesome and the great customer service made my mission to have my Italian colleagues experience KK donuts successful.“

“Great time.......especially for 5:00 am. I couldn't miss your Grand Opening! Amazing Pumpkin Swirl Coffee & Lattes too! Pumpkin Muffins, Donuts & Carmel Apple Croissant Donuts were a big hit at home!! See you soon!“

“5 stars service from Hailey! I stopped by Dunkin’ planning to just grab a coffee, but when I opened the mobile app, I noticed a $3 medium refresher offer. I wasn’t sure how to use the coupon on the app, but Hailey was so kind and patient in explaining the app interface and even helped me complete the order at the counter. Such warm and helpful service really made my day—thank you, Hailey!“

“We loved it here.. the service was great! Fuzz and Edward, y'all are awesome!!!“
