Mr. Blue's Donuts

I highly recommend for breakfast. Wowzie the #6 sandwich for $9 is very large and filling. It's got very large bun and very generous egg. Drink is separate.

At first, the back prep came out (with no gloves on) handing me the food to go. I opened to inspect it. The sandwich was cut in half. But one half had half of the top bread missing (I've never seen this before).

I showed it to the man. He wanted to take it back to fix it, but I said no thank you. I only need the bread (I did not trust because no gloves on). There was a language barrier, but a lady in line helped to explain to them.

He brought out a whole new bun. I was very pleased. I used this whole bun for the rest of the food since the inside of the bun already had a lot of food in it.

The atmosphere was very friendly, and sociable. I believe this is because the lady at the register is also very friendly. I like her beautiful smile. It signals it's going to be a good day.

Recently it was packed. Then everyone left and it was peaceful.

To the store manager, here are areas that could improve customer experience:

The bathroom was super dirty (like it hasn't been *deep cleaned* in a really long time). The atm is out of order.

Randomly, when you are handling personal businesses by phone, or talking to one another in person, in another language, it sounds like you're angry or very upset with one another.

It can make customers feel maybe you're upset at them, or want them to go away, even if it's something else. Or feel unsafe like there is some kind of danger going to happen.

Maybe you can add options like Avocado and Cream Cheese. Definitely, I really recommend you add calm, relaxing music, especially, please add English 60's-70's love songs.

It was really delicious (thank you that it was not too salty!) :)... I highly recommend this place to everybody! It was peaceful...

This Donut Shop has regular larger sized donuts! Super fresh and delicious. I always have to get my favorite old fashioned buttermilk donuts here. Highly recommend this place. Prices are reasonable. Get your lucky lottery while there as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you’re anywhere near Van Buren Blvd in Riverside and don’t stop at Mr. Blue’s Donuts, you’re missing out—plain and simple. These are the kind of donuts that remind you why donut shops still matter. Fresh, soft, perfectly balanced sweetness, and not overloaded with gimmicks. Just done right.

The selection is solid, the shop is clean, and the service is genuinely friendly—the kind where you can tell they care about what they’re putting out. You can taste the consistency and pride in every bite, whether you’re grabbing a classic glazed or something a little more indulgent.

This is a local gem that deserves support. Mr. Blue’s Donuts has officially earned a spot in my regular rotation. Highly recommended. 🍩👏

Not sure what happened to this place over the years but now they will sell you day old donuts with a smile. Ignore the 4+ star rating it has is my honest advice

I just ordered from here this morning and I was very impressed with them. They wrote on the box there wasn't a lot of variety so they have us extra but when I opened it I was very happy with the selection. The iced coffees were delicious too! I will be ordering again! Ty for the great customer service!
