47 Best Donuts near Lake Forest

“Love these Donuts. Open at 430am. Hard working family owned and operated. Great on price. I get to spoil my family once a week and give to the kids at our elementary school as well. Made fresh daily. Service is very good. You should for sure help keep the DK Donuts open as long as possible. Great family who pulls it together for us regulars.“

“Called in a takeout brunch/lunch order, and it was ready in less than 20 mins. Lovely service on the phone and in person. I had the huevos rancheros (no chorizo), and my mom had the shrimp enchiladas. The food was fantastic—hearty, flavorful, and good portions. We also got a box of donuts that were very tasty.

This is the kind of mom and pop place I love supporting, and it baffles me that we have a chipotle in the same shopping center when we have an independent business of this caliber just across the lot. I will definitely be back!“

“I went there to get a donut for my son's bday. The lady over there gave me hole donuts free. I didn't expect that but just doing little thing makes you feel more welcoming and comfortable. I love their donuts and the warm atmosphere that they have. Highly recommended“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this Dunkin' location! Picked up coffee and munchkins for the office this morning and the $8 meal deal for me. Everything was delicious and my coffee was filled right to the top. The gentleman working the walk-up window was very kind and put a smile on my face!“

“Hands down BEST donuts ever! Great family story, best ingredients, homemade syrups, homemade glazes, made fresh to order. We will be back when visiting again from Pennsylvania!“

“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.“

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

“I think that this DONUT STAR has literally the best donuts that I’ve had in Orange County!

I don’t know what it is about other donut stores, but their donuts are very greasy, even have a different type of dough, this particular donut store has light fluffy donuts, and they’re frosting is second to none very fresh

I recommend this store to everyone that enjoys quality donuts! Very friendly staff!!!
I come here all the time now to show my support and get some great donuts! Thank you, Tustin donuts star✅❤️🙏 you’re the best!“

“A very interesting combination of doughnuts and burgers, but it works.

The burgers and fries are delicious.

If there is a compliant it's that the fries don't come salt-free.

But otherwise, it was a great meal that I would highly recommend.“

“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.“

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

“We dropped by KD's donuts after a run around the lake, and it was the perfect sweet treat! I got the original glazed, which was easily the best original glazed donut I've ever had. Super fresh, fluffy, soft, and perfectly glazed. They are masters of their craft!“

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

“
A must-visit spot with a great variety of donuts and croissants. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The Ham and cheese croissant reminds me of seaside’s version without the crazy wait!

Customer
The staff was friendly, welcoming, and quick with orders, making the experience easy and pleasant.


Relaxing and comfortable for a quick sit-down, whether you’re grabbing a treat or taking a short break.“

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

“Please come here and try the Salvadoran food. Service was great and the donuts were good but the real reason to come here is the other food items available.
We tried the jalapeno and cheese and the mixed meat pupusa's and they were fantastic. We also had the fried plantains with beans and sour cream which was delicious. Had fries and a Salvadoran pork tamale as well.
Highly recommend this gem.“

“excellent boston crème and hojicha donut. best in OC and maybe in all of California. Every time I stop by this plaza I will make sure to stop by and support this locally owned business. The cashier was a sweet lady who needs our support!!!“

“In town visiting my mom and stopped here since it's the closest donut shop. I was pleasantly surprised! The donut selection was great, the staff was supper friendly, their fresh squeezed OJ and the donuts 🍩 were very delicious! We'll likely stop here again on our way back to Vegas.“

“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.“

“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 😍“

“I went in this morning and ordered the signature burrito with no ham, cashier was friendly. It was ready quickly and tasted fresh and delicious with a side of green salsa I will return here soon, for another breakfast burrito. They have a very wide selection of donuts and drinks to choose from.“

“Absolutely the best donuts in the area! Best apple fritter!! I love how they recently came up with a smaller version of the apple fritter (they still have the original size, which is almost big as a volleyball!). I always ate the outside and threw away the doughy middle part of the apple fritter, so this smaller version is perfect! Not too much dough. Crispy and sweet all around!“

“I've never written a review for Donuts before but I have to say, this place consistently has the best donuts I've ever had... They are always fresh and delicious. Very friendly, clean and welcoming. Can't say enough if you are looking for a good quality - freshly baked donuts, this is the place!“

“Workers (owners?) are so sweet and i’ve never had any issues with anything i’ve gotten here. Baked goods always taste good and the fresh orange juice is soooo good definitely a great local place especially after the bakery by the winery and deli closed a while back“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“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.“

“waited about 10 mins for a donut which felt a bit long but the moment I bit into the glazed one I knew it was worth it. its light and airy and not too sweet, just perfect. teh maple bacon one is also really good if you like that salty sweet combo. definately going back next weekend“

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

“BEST DONUTS EVER! SO SATISFYING“

“So sad today was their last day, the owners retired and I'm not sure if there will be new management or not, but ever since moving into a home nearby in 2023, my daughter and I have have become a big fan!

Their donuts have the best soft texture, their vietnamese coffee is Lee's sandwiches concentrate which is my favorite as well, and their brewed drip hot coffee is always fresh. The owners are very nice and always greet you when you walk in. I've visited them at least once a week every other week. Wishing them the best in their retirement!(:“

“Some of the best donuts in OC! I’m very particular about the dough used in donuts and personally their donuts are delicious and have an indescribable and unique texture! You definitely get your $ worth with the size of the donuts. The atmosphere is great if you want to chill and relax, and the staff are all attentive and friendly.“

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

“Everything about this shop is delightful. The donuts I got tasted so fresh and warm even at almost 8pm! She was so sweet to throw a handful of extra donuts in to the bag - can’t wait to share with my friends.
The sandwiches looked incredible too and she was really attentive asking the people in front of me with their order. This was a really pleasant experience and I’ll definitely be back.“

“I would argue these are the best donuts in the world. I'm a fitness girl and donuts are my planned treat so I'm very picky about them. I've tried artisan donuts, grocery store donuts , vegan donuts, I tried all of the donuts. She got the whole thing right from texture to flavor to moisture in both the bread and the icing. 10/10. So far I've tried both her apple fritter and her maple buttermilk. Perfect.“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“Just wanted to show my appreciation to the staff at CUP! I frequent here pretty often when I have time in between my classes and they’re always so sweet. Plus they make the best drinks! Special shoutout to Marionette and Tiffany for handling a difficult customer as well. These ladies showed kindness and rationality when someone is being aggressive, and that is a great strength. I will always come back here!“

“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!“

“This place is all about getting your dopamine going. Bright colors, lots of sugar. Service is quick, and the $6 meal deal includes a small breakfast taco, some hash brown nuggets, and a coffee. Portions are small and left me a bit unsatisfied. Wifi and outlets at every table is a bonus.“

“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!“

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

“Stopped by for a mid-afternoon rescue. The shop itself is immaculately neat. The iced coffee was actually ice-cold and strong enough. As for the staff? They’re perfectly okay, just delightfully grumpy. Will absolutely return. The caffeine hits hard, and the side-eye keeps me grounded.“
