Tried this shop from 2G2G and was hoping to get a better variety of what their hype is all about. The picture speaks for itself. I think the most specialty item was the chocolate chip donut. I don't know why there's a plain cake donut...kind of defeats the purpose of this place and they seem to want to get rid of them all the time, based on other 2G2G pics. The counter attendant mentioned to me there's a HH special to fill their large box of whatever's left....he probably knew it wasn't a great selection he put in my box and ordered that option. At least it was cheap. read more

A coworker brought this in and I kid you all not, it was gone within the hour! Even cut up into portions, everyone would keep coming back for seconds! We got the Assorted Donuts - Vanilla Crumb Twist, Strawberry Pop Tart, Blueberry Cream Cheese, Banana Cream Pie, and Apple Fritters. My favorite would have to the the strawberry pop tart and the banana cream pie. It hit the right spot of my sweet tooth where I wasn't sick of the sweetness after! Definitely bold flavors that you're not used to seeing at a regular donut shop, but they are worth their value. I'd have to come back to try out their other interesting flavors!! read more

Staff: The two guys here were very nice. They knew it was my first time visiting so they provided additional information about the donuts to help me make a decision. Quality/Quantity: These donuts are the real deal. They have three different sizes which means a dozen can be one of three different prices. Value: They are pricey at $33 for a dozen when compared with say a standard place that is around $20. However, for the quality bit is worth it. Overall: I was really impressed by the variety of options here. Many different fancy choices to choose from. I'll be back for sure. read more

5 Stars! Crafted Donuts in Fountain Valley is hands down one of the best donut shops around. The two gentlemen who I believe own the place are always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely make you feel like a valued guest every time you walk in. Their service and hospitality are truly top-notch. Yes, the donuts are a bit pricier than your average shop--but you're absolutely getting what you pay for: upscale, artisan-style donuts that not only look amazing but taste even better. Every flavor I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Even their bagel sandwiches are fantastic--there's a real homemade quality to them that sets them apart. If they ever decide to expand their menu with different types of bagels or maybe even breakfast burritos, I honestly think it would take their already stellar shop to an entirely new level. All in all, Crafted Donuts is an A+ spot. Delicious food, excellent service, and good vibes every time. Highly recommend! read more

This is hands down my favorite donut shop--maybe even my favorite place, period. The donuts are out-of-this-world delicious--so fresh, so fluffy, and just absolute perfection every time. You can really taste the love and care that goes into making them. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I go there way too often... but honestly, not often enough. It brings me so much joy, and it's one of the few spots that can brighten even the most stressful day. Also, their Vietnamese iced coffee? Life-changing. It powers me through my workday and is the perfect companion to their amazing donuts. This place is a total gem. If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and go. You'll thank me later! read more

If you know me, you know I am obsess with donuts. I have been wanting to try this place for so long- ever since I moved away for college last August!! I am so happy I stopped in today cause I have found my top fav donut place in the OC area. I came in around 2:10pm on a Friday evening (they close at 5pm on Fridays) and was greeted by the sweetest man (I didn't catch his name). Even though there were fewer donut options left (as it was near closing time) they still had most of all their most popular donuts!! The donuts are HUGE. I hate when you buy a pastry/donut and it's small, this is perfect size lol. I got a mix of flavors and I was indecisive about what my 3rd donut should be. The man asked what I liked and I told him- "anything with chocolate and/or cookie butter." So I got one cookie butter, and he added in the chocolate one for FREE. Service is top notch and donuts even higher. The donut shop was also very cute on the inside, with kids' drawings hung up on the walls- it made the entire place feel very welcoming. Please visit and support local owned businesses!! read more

I'm forever thankful for Michelle L For telling me about the app- too good to go I was in the area and needed some donuts for a family get together and saw this place. They are featured on the app and sell surprise boxes that they didn't sell at the end of the day for a discounted price. Otherwise they would be thrown out. So the app helps cut down on food waste I got each box for around 5-6 dollars and they were all really good high quality and not just your run of the mill glazed donuts. I highly recommend this place, the donuts are amazing and they offer such great flavors. The staff is friendly as well and they have up close parking read more

Cute and modern donut shop that welcomes you in and has high top seating to enjoy your gourmet donuts. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, I didn't get his name but he had a beautiful smile, was super welcoming, and very encouraging. Like my personal cheerleader while making big decisions choosing donuts. LOL! I enjoyed the pb&j and huge tigers tail covered in sugar. The pop tart donut was also pretty good, we didn't finish it. It was too big. Apple fritter is a classic, especially warmed up for a few seconds, and the banana cream pie was hands down my favorite! I'm sad they are far but if I am back in the area I will make sure to drop by and grab a few. There's "happy hour" on Tuesdays and Thursdays! read more

Wow! It's been almost 7 years since my last review of this spot - stopped by on a whim since I was going to visit the coffee shop next door - Crafted Donuts still offers a nice selection of gourmet donuts. Despite the wide variety, I settled on the Cookie Butter donut, and the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup donut. The friendly clerk helping me threw in a few donut holes on the house - which made my box complete. Prices are decent - considering the size of the donut, the toppings, the specialty. About $3 to $4 per donut. They offer coffee here too, but I didn't get any since I was going to stop by and get a little work done at the cafe next door while 405 traffic settled down. They close at 4:30pm on the weekdays, but are open a bit later - until 8pm on Fridays/Saturdays. read more

Crafted doughnuts is not your average doughnut shop ! It's located in a large shopping center so parking is not a problem! From the outside it has some good decor and looks very welcoming ! When you go inside the overall location looks pretty small. However you are greeted by some friendly people. When looking at their doughnuts you can tell right away they are very high quality. The price point is medium to high but you're definitely paying for the quality and you can taste the quality as well! All in all I recommend you check them out read more

I've been here once before, but it's been awhile, so when I was passing by, thought I'd give it another try. Did a quick Yelp review of the current photos, then actually made a U-turn to grab one. They had one raised left with the Biscotti cookie on top and he told me it was a cookie butter flavor. It was larger than most and reasonable at around $3. Not overly sweet, which was good and I took a few bites and saved the rest for later. Comes in a nice box, so I'm sure you're paying a bit more for the box. I prefer raised over cake and when I'm not sure it's always my "go to" because I feel if you can make a good raised, you're on the right track. Ran into a friend here, so it was a win-win. read more

Crafted Doughnuts -- Pure Perfection in Every Bite Crafted Doughnuts is hands down one of the best doughnut shops I've ever visited. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked dough and creative toppings instantly draws you in.

Every doughnut here is a work of art -- light, fluffy, and full of flavor. You can tell they're made with care and quality ingredients. The variety is incredible too, from classic glazed to gourmet flavors like maple bacon, crème brûlée, and seasonal creations that taste even better than they look. The staff is friendly, upbeat, and always happy to make recommendations. Service is quick and personable, and you can feel the pride they take in what they do. It's refreshing to see a local business that puts so much love into every single detail. Whether you're stopping by for your morning coffee and a treat, or picking up a box to share with friends or coworkers, Crafted Doughnuts never disappoints. Every visit feels like a small celebration.

Service is AMAZING here - Like Ahmazing. They have twice now brought my order outside to me as I waited for it briefly. Did you know they serve delicious breakfast sandwiches? I either get the croissant egg & cheese or my favorite, the sausage, egg and cheese on plain bagel. The egg is light and folded and so hot and fresh and the surprise is that they use Kielbasa sausage vs the patty stuff. I tried to recreate the exact one at home and it was ok but nothing beats theirs. We also have tried several of their donuts and they are exceptional. I didn't love their cold brew on tap but I am particular about my coffee. So if you're ever in the area, this is a great stop over or inside the restaurant there is plenty of high and low seating. So check them out for their sandwiches soon! read more

Got these delicious donuts for Father's Day tradition of coffee and donuts. It was a variety of six donuts that I actually picked up Saturday night. Placed them in the fridge and when I arrived to my dad's we simply placed them in the microwave for 15 seconds and we had delicious, warm and soft donuts (We usually warm them up no matter where we get them from). Anyways, would highly recommend these. The blueberry donut (purple) was my favorite. Dad loved the giant cinnamon one and later snacked on the strawberry one.

Legit some of my fav Donuts. Donuts dont taste "manufactured", they taste fresh and super creative with their presentation. My go-to's are the Creme Brulee, Matcha and Butter Cookie. The Maple Bacon is so yummy, hits you with the sweet & savory umami like feels. Staff has always been cool and patient. Sometimes people take a while choosing flavors. Its a small donut shop close to an industrial area off the 405, but not hard to find. Pro-Tip: Order a dozen to share so you can sample the different flavors and not have a Fat Boy moment like me.

Inside is a café inspired by natural accents with an industrial flair giving a rustic character with modern style. The vibe inside is chill with plenty of seating for groups or singles. They also have an outdoor area with covered seating surrounded by plants. The menu delivers just as much appeal as the setting. They have an expansive list of coffee, tea, and lattes with several modifiers to choose from. To accompany your drink the menu provides options of sandwiches, bagels, and a variety of pastries. I had the smoked salmon bagel, featuring delicate slices of salmon layered over cream cheese spread, topped with capers and fresh chives. This is my go to for coffee houses that offer it. The bagel exceeded my expectations and I believe the chive's subtle flavor complemented the smoked salmon really well. For drinks we tried the chai and hot chocolate. The iced chai latte was smooth and not too sweet with a dusting of cinnamon on top, but I would rate it average in taste. The hot chocolate was deliciously velvety and detailed beautifully. I would rate it a five out of five! The difference at this coffee shop is that you can choose from a range of seating arrangements and have an opportunity to support the business by picking up clothing, a bag of coffee or other merchandise. The con for this coffee shop is that the beverages are somewhat undersized relative to the price point. In addition, the customer service experience fell short. We were greeted upon entering, but it was unclear where customers should retrieve their order or whether orders numbers were called out. With that said, those looking for a quiet morning coffee or a cozy place to catch up with friends, this spot can accommodate.

I got the Earl Grey Matcha since I hadn't seen many places with that mix of flavors so got curious how it would taste. I would probably get it less sweet next time, but the flavors worked well together with the earl grey aftertaste from each sip. Also tried their einspanner, and that cream is thiiiick. After stirring it up, the drink did get more balanced, but also leaned towards the sweet end. We also got two pastries: spinach, bacon and cheese croissant and a guava mascarpone bun. Both were tasty, but the croissant was perfectly crispy/flaky and good flavors from all the ingredients. Overall, a cute shop with ample seating and friendly service. Easy parking as well in the plaza's shared lot.

Cold brew. Great taste and vibe.

They offer a few seasonal items and a standard menu of lattes, teas, etc. Today I ordered the morning melt and the coconut latte. The coconut latte is delish and tastes like summer. The morning melt is also really good. So many flavors from the egg, turkey, and arugula. Next time I'll opt for the sauce on the side and put a little less so it's not so drippy. Still super tasty! Thanks for providing a relaxing vibe :)

Checked this spot out since I was staying at the hotel nearby…read more.. What a neat little spot! Can almost call it a hidden gem! Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.

This year specifically, I've noticed a couple of things that have made my experience go severely downhill. I've visited about five times, expecting to grab my favorite toast of theirs that I've had for years (Pan Con Tomate) and they have been out consistently back to back of that item. I've literally tried 3 separate times and been told they simply ran out of tomatoes. If it's that inconsistent, I'd hope they'd take it off their menu and post it as a special. But what bothers me the most is that the service is so nonchalant that it comes off as rude. No greeting, smile, positive energy.. giving off a vibe that they'd rather be anywhere else than behind the coffee bar. Sad to see the experience decline as it's been a favorite of mine and somewhere i always have hyped up to friends. Hopefully things pick up.
