34 Best Donuts in Santa Ana

“Dey’s Donut and Croissant Shop is such a unique and refreshing spot! What makes it stand out is that it’s not just a bakery it feels almost like a gym café with an impressively large variety of food and drinks to choose from. Whether you’re craving something light after a workout or treating yourself to a fresh pastry, they’ve got you covered.

The drinks are definitely a highlight here. They use fresh fruit in their blends, and you can taste the quality in every sip. Smoothies, juices, and specialty drinks are made with care and never feel watered down or artificial.

On the food side, the donuts and croissants are perfectly balanced flaky, fresh, and flavorful. Pairing them with one of their fresh fruit drinks makes for a satisfying combo whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, a midday snack, or a post gym pick-me-up.

Overall, Dey’s offers the best of both worlds: a wide range of tasty, high quality options in a setting that feels energizing and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!“

“Was in the air I was looking for a donut spot. When I got to this spot in particular, I came in and I saw they were selling burritos. For under $10 you could get the best breakfast burrito you could find. This burrito is so good. The customer service was amazing. The lady and the man in the front were super cool and nice. 10 out of 10 would come back for another breakfast burrito. And if you’re wondering what it was, it was the sausage.“

“Stopped at this donut shop for a cup of Joe and no not the guy named Joe, anyways got a ham and cheese croissant with jalapeños of course and my coffee for $8.00 best price in town for coffee and croissant if your in Santa Ana must stop and try it is delicious, service wonderful always greeted with a Good Morning and how are you...“

“Oh man, this donut shop is an absolute gem! Stopped by this morning and was blown away by the fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth donuts--every bite was pure bliss. I've had every donut and let me tell you, nostalgic and brings you back to childhood memory lane that just hit all the right spots. The staff was super friendly, hooked me up with a fresh batch, and the vibe in there is so cozy and welcoming. The smoothies are on point too! Honestly, I'm already craving my next visit. Five stars, hands down!
Easy to find easy to order and always done to the customers request. One of the best hole in the wall donut shops that's still around

You gotta check it out! You won't be disappointed“

“Came in around midnight. Not busy at all and plenty of parking. Had been to another Yum Yum with no French crullers, but they had them at this location! Yum yum makes the absolute best crullers. This location was no exception. So light and fluffy, just delicious. Highly recommended. Will be returningApril 2023“

“Delicious always, friendly staff“

“the staff is always friendly the donuts is always fresh the coffee always fresh ly made I would highly recommend to any one go there and get the best donuts they are extremely good every body treat you so nice they give you 100& satisfaction it very nice place to eat“

“Today I went to Friend's Donuts at about 05:24 A.M. because this place is open 24/7. I like going here, though as far as I know coming here at about 5am in the morning is the guaranteed time to come here to freshly stocked up options. Great place to go to!

🍲 Food: I ordered a box of doughnuts of my choosing that were good.

🥤 Drinks: I ordered the Taro smoothie drink, that's one of my most favourite drinks to choose from in my opinion.

🏡 Atmosphere: The atmosphere is nice, simple and clean.

🛎️ Service: The service is very nice and can accommodate for Spanish and English. I think someone here might also speak Vietnamese as well but I can't confirm that entirely since I've only heard Spanish and English conversations so far from my past visits here. The staff here is friendly, especially if you're the only one there they may even chat up a nice conversation with you if you're a frequent customer here when it's not too busy.

💰 Price: The price is pretty decent and fair, a nice location to stop by for small orders if you're looking to get in and out. The service is quick here, not much of a waiting time.“

“Definitely the best donuts I’ve tried in the U.S.! I would come back without thinking twice the next time I’m visiting Disneyland since it’s only about 15 minutes away.
And the drinks are amazing too — absolutely delicious. The service is great, and the staff clearly know what they’re doing. They seem very well trained and super friendly.
My favorites were the Strawberry Cheesecake 🍓 and the Apple Filled, although honestly all of them were really good, haha. We ended up taking two dozen!
The best part is that when you buy a mixed dozen, you can choose any donuts you want, which is awesome.“

“The only reason the atmosphere got 4/5, was bc it is not big enough, lol. I wish there was more room, I would have invited my entire cohort of colleagues from work. 1.) Cold brew - super yummy, not bitter at all, which is a plus. 2.) Watermelon donut w/ sprinkles - I got this for my kiddo, and she is quite picky at times, but she adored this.“

“Their Jalapeño Ham & Cheese Was So Good!?? Their Hazelnut Coffee Was Really Good Too! Usually w/ Donut Shops Their Coffee Is Watered Down So I Was Hesitant To Get A Coffee But So Glad I Did It Was Strong & Hot! Plus Has So Many Types Of Creamers Available, Definitely Recommend If You’re In The Area.“

“AMAZING donuts, service, and drinks. If you skip out on the glazed donuts and fresh orange juice you are missing out, there’s nothing basic about those classic staples here. We had multiple others that were amazing I just didn’t expect to be so surprised by a glazed donut!“

“Love getting my donuts from here! It's close to home and feels like it's always open. The donuts hit the morning after a night out. The staff is always kind! I love supporting family owned businesses, this is one of my favorites to support! 👍“

“I stopped by here just expecting "another donut shop." I was greeted by friendly staff (owners, perhaps). They were very helpful. I was able to purchase a dozen donuts that were assorted. They have a great variety of donuts. Their other menu items were good, too. Croissants and croissant sandwiches were very good. It was also very clean inside.“

“These are our favorite donuts! They make them right on the spot for you. It’s so cool watching them get fried and then dipped, glazed, and sprinkled right in front of you. Flavors are always light and delicious. They were very helpful in guiding us what to get.

We got a free scoop of decadently rich chocolate ice cream. They have some really cute rubber duckies as well and some Duck Donut’s gear.“

“Its amazing! Owner is supper sweet. I love this place!! Ill be coming almost everyday for there food! The donuts have an unbelievable taste its the best there is! Ive tried there donuts and the ham and cheese jalapeño! Its amazing ive got nothing bad to say abt this place! I love everything abt it“

“Randy’s donuts shop has amazing food. Donuts are amazing and the breakfast burritos are delicious. The thing that sets them apart is the friendly service. Everyone in there is nice smiling and very friendly. I would recommend this to anyone.“

“Love this place! No mater where I move to I always come back for an ice mocha � and the costumer service is great.“

“Great 👍 placed for every donuts 🍩 and breakfast, smoothies blended and iced coffee love 💕 it.“

“Tried this for the fist time definitely a must try had donuts and the hot dog with mozzarella and included potato on the outside highly recommend“

“For my family and I. These are the best donuts in the city of Santa Ana CA. Always fresh and don't taste like they were made with reusable burned oil. Great customer service and plenty of parking. I have been going there for over 10 years and the great taste has never changed.“

“Probably the best Chinese food I've had; food tastes great and STILL tastes good after reheating!! I'm hard to impress and this place blew it out of the water.
I had the chow mein, beef broccoli, mushroom chicken, and wontons. The wontons were really good too. And it was all actually affordable too!! Better prices than other places I've seen. Will come back if I'm in the area. ❤️✨“

“I ordered the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Croissant with Avocado, a blended Coffee (great size), and a Glazed donut; everything was tasty and reasonably priced. I’d much rather come here and support a local shop than the other chain spots nearby. I had a great experience all around and appreciated the kind, quick service.“

“Esta super bien tanto como el café y los panes, y más la amabilidad del personal“

“ordered a chocolate twist doughnut. It was a little bit super sweet for me tasted like they took a chocolate donut and added a glaze on top of it. If you like Krispy Kreme you’d probably like this place but I’m probably gonna go back to Dunkin.“

“I love going here for breakfast, sweet treats, lunch, or an afternoon coffee or late night craving - they are open 24 hours and always have fresh donuts and coffee stocked. Service is always pleasant, the ladies in the morning are super helpful and friendly. Some of my favorites are their chorizo breakfast bagel, for lunch a turkey cold deli sandwich on croissant with a GREEN juice, and donuts you can’t go wrong, always fresh. My little girls love the donuts here and the variety they can pick from. It’s always busy but that’s to be expected when the product and service is great.“
