11 Best Donuts in Pasadena

“Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the charming, highly-rated Hello You're Welcome café. They make and bake everything in house- you can even see the ovens. Really friendly staff with a slight hippie vibe. Some items were made with almond flour, like their giant chocolate chip cookie, so I had to skip them (allergic). I was pleasantly overwhelmed by a delicious gigantic frittata slice with bacon, onions, and tater tots inside. Togadachi coffee is really interesting: the beans were fermented with lavender. Extra sugar helped me adjust to the unique flavor. The wall full of retail items features coffee beans in VHS boxes, which is a first! I love their mugs and bought one to take home.“

“Best doughnuts in Pasadena and everything tastes fresh“

“Brought me and my friend to get 2⃣ breakfast Burrito. 2 coffees. And the food is real good. My wife mona always got our Breakfast and lunch. And she will bring it home for us. But my wife passed away o. September 14 2024 from cancer. My wife love there food. I will miss my wife always. But I still go here And get.
My breakfast and lunch. You will love the food. Great place and a lot of love there.“

“Love this place! :)“

“Fresh donuts and hot coffee, really big space to relax and lots of parking on a busy street.
Standard family run donut shop, the matriarch doesn’t need to say anything and you know who’s the boss. If you’re getting your tire changed or repaired, nice place to have a snack.“

“When I first moved to SGV three years ago, I went on a quest to find my goto donut shop. I tried many in the area, but was fortunate to find this one in my backyard, but not originally on my radar because it’s on the other side of the 210 freeway. It’s a traditional donut shop, but their donuts, jalapeño croissant sandwiches, and apple fritters are done just right. Not all shops are created equal!“

“Great service and amazing breakfast sandwiches with excellent quality. I also love there coffee and lattes. A former coworker of mine recommended this place to me in early 2021 and I've loved it ever since. Friendly staff great environment and I highly recommend it.“

“Earlier today, I stopped by Pronto Donuts in Pasadena and decided to try their large coffee and huge cinnamon donut. Honestly, it turned out to be a great choice. The coffee was rich, aromatic, and pleasantly smooth. The donut was absolutely fantastic — fresh, warm, soft, and full of that rich cinnamon aroma that makes it really special.

One important thing to keep in mind — they accept cash only, so it’s better to bring some with you.

A place I’d gladly visit again.“

“I got a banana matcha drink and one of their cream doughnuts today and both items were absolutely fantastic! The drink especially, really great, and the people working there absolutely rock—super friendly and helpful! Definitely recommend, whether you’re looking for a drink or a doughnut!“

“Decided to come here after dinner because our son had been telling us we needed to try it out. Even though there was a long line out the door, it actually moved pretty fast! There was only one person working the counter and serving the whole crowd, but they were definitely hustling.

They have a lot of really funky and unique flavors to choose from. We ended up trying the Cookie Monster (served in a donut!) and the Ube. Both were really solid—the ice cream is high quality and definitely explains why this place is so popular.

The process is simple: you just pay on the iPad and then grab your ice cream. Definitely a cool spot to check out if you're in Pasadena and looking for a sweet treat!“

“Decided to randomly stop in while waiting for a friend - the place is nice and quiet. I got a medium mocha cappuccino and a single glazed donut. Everything tasted delicious. I could totally see myself visiting more often to get a coffee and study in here with the peace and quiet.“
