Friendly Donuts: A Vegan-Friendly Dessert Haven in Orange, CA

1/11/25 - This shop sells specialty donuts of a wide variety. I paid about $18-19 for 5 of their specialty donuts. We ordered the French crème donut, Plain dosant (donut made out of croissant layers stacked on top of each other), Cookies and crème donut, Crème brûlée donut, and Devils food donut. My family and I liked them! The interior is cute and brightly colored. There were only 2 workers which made sense as there were not more than 2 customers in the shop at a time while I was there.

They're just the best! They have such a big selection and adorable themed donuts for holidays and special events. You have to stop in if you haven't yet.

THE MOST AMAZING DONUT PLACE EVER! I cannot recommend this place more. The donuts are so pretty and taste even better. They have monthly flavors which I love and are super creative. The presentation on all the donuts is immaculate and the prices are cheap too. The workers are super efficient and welcoming. My favorite donut is probably either the apple or blueberry fritter (they are huge). Every-time I go up to Orange County, I have to stop here. My cousins know the owner and he is the sweetest!

Nice local donut place. Friendly service. They have drink options and t-shirts for sale. Choose a single, dozen, or create your own custom quantity. They have traditional options as well as modern fun ones. Mix and matched a half dozen and it was $20. Pretty standard. Small parking lot - meant to just grab and go. Enjoy!

They have an amazing $2 einspanner, which first got me to go. After the first time, I've gone back just for the einspanner if I'm in the area because it's delicious and such an unbelievable price! Their pastry selection has so much more than just donuts and they have amazing unique flavors. Their jalapeño croissant is huge and my son loved their donut holes. Their service really is friendly, just like their name, and the decor inside lifts your mood and makes you feel happy.

What a cute little place! Quick and friendly service. We got a French cream and a strawberry basil jam. I enjoyed my donut a lot and would love to try others in the future. I do wish there was more seating, but we can make do.

Thank you Kai for helping us tonight to select some of our donuts. Our friend recommended this place and it was a fun place to visit. Unfortunately I truly wouldn't recommend the churro mochi. It was so dry and hard and had a weird taste. I think this place has a huge assortment of unique donut and it was fun to see that but I think they should really take that donut off the menu.

Friendly Donuts is a place that you didn't know you needed in your life. The selection of options and the friendly atmosphere make this a must on any go-to donut/pastry shops you have on your list. I know, we may think of donut shops and say "hey I don't wake up early enough to get there when they have excellent selections" - - if that is you, then look no further! Friendly Donuts has great selections at all times of day. My friends and I stopped at around 8 pm and there were still so many delicious options (mochi donuts, pastries, even gluten free options!!). Check this place out if you're in the neighborhood, and you won't regret it!

Here's an updated review of Friendly Donuts! I still love their Jalapeño Ham and Cheese Croissant ($4.85). It's delicious, huge, and worth it. Donuts here are really good as well. They offer a variety of traditional and special (mochi, croissant, gourmet) types of donuts here. They're yummy and priced well. Workers here are friendly and helpful. This place is also very cute - it gives me Coffee Dose vibes. This is definitely a place to check out if you'd like a variety of traditional and special donuts!
