Such a cute do it spot and have been wanting to try it! The lines are out the door in the morning! But it was Memorial Day weekend, So I skipped coming early and decided to go in the late afternoon. They didn't have a huge selection, but I did try the strawberry, blueberry and Crumble donuts. Blueberry was my favorite, OMG sooo yummy! Also tried the Mexican potato salad which tasted like ceviche and was spicy! Service is very friendly and we were there to try the apple fritter. The cashier told us that we can order it and pick it up the next morning and skip the lines. Good to know! Went the next morning and walked right up to the counter and got our fritters. I'll definitely be back to try the coffee and sandwiches.

I've been here twice and I think it's ok. It's a cute building with a good size outdoor patio. Depending on the weekend, lines do get out the door. I've tried a strawberry donut the first time in the fall. Most everything was sold out by the time we went. It was just ok, didn't taste like really strawberry, more artificial. This time in the summer we went since they still have the pineapple fritters. It's huge!! Was not expecting it to be that size so we split it. Again, it was ok. Didn't have a lot of pineapple so just tasted like fried dough. I wish it had more pineapple flavors. So it's ok. Probably won't be back for donuts but may try sandwiches next time. SYOY!

Absolutely insane! I'm more of a cake donut person and this place delivered. I tried the strawberry one and blueberry one. Their apple fritters I swear weigh 5lbs. Fun place and vibes to be in and get donuts! There can be a line tho otherwise it's an in and out place. Outdoor seating available :)

Really bomb breakfast burritos for a great price! Egg, bacon cheese tater tots....yum!!! (And yes Drew is awesome!) Kudos to Amber for yummy donuts

Ale F.

Get there early because they sell out quick! All the donuts are delicious but I very much enjoyed and recommend the apple fritter, pineapple fritter and cinnamon roll! They are enormous and either take days to finish it you can be nice and share. They are fresh and flavor is perfect. The sandwiches are also very good and made fresh. Great to take down to the lake or on the boat. The place itself has tables outside, plenty of parking and a cute mini golf area.

Bailey C.

Wow! There's a reason they call it dank donuts!! Drew took such good care of us this afternoon. I personally got the old fashioned and blueberry donut and omg!!! They were both sooo good. The service is fast, staff is friendly and food is BOMBBB!!! Can't wait to come back

Dank DONUTS oh my gosh I can't even begin to explain how cool and interesting this place is. The staff was super friendly and gave us recommendations on what to try so we decided to go with the Apple critter donut. Hands down the best tasting donut we've had especially since we're from out of town. They also have donuts for dogs which I got my dog one and he loved it. If I could recommend anything I would say forsure the apple critter and the mini donuts as well. I got an iced matcha which I will say is on the sweeter side but still delicious. 5 stars from me !

Donuts were sooooo cute and tasty! Outdoor area was nice. I also liked the merch. The staff was very polite and cool.

Great experience at Dank Donuts. Enjoyed the place's ambiance. Had great Christmas music, hospitable & helpful service and I liked looking at the decorations. The Rueben exceeded expectations. Wanted more with every bite.

Oh Dank Donuts where have you been all my life?This gnarly donut shop boasts the highest elevation in California, creates some of the most delicious and freshest donuts I've ever had the privileged of tasting, and also hosts adult beverages and scrumptious sandwiches. Nestled up high by the slopes of Big Bear is this awesome place that seemingly all the cool kids know about. Luckily my family and I stumbled upon it while out for a walk and just had to stop. Fried dough with sweet glazes make my heart go pitter patter, and Dank did not disappoint. Over the course of 14 days we tried all they had to offer and everything we had was delicious. My favorites were the chocolate long John, giant apple fritter, and veggie sandwich. The service was always friendly and quick, so they do a lot of business with ease. The inside is very small, so it's a squeeze if they are busy, but the outside has plenty of tables to sit and enjoy the gorgeous Big Bear mountains. They have fun coin rides for the kids which kept my little ones busy and happy so we got a few extra minutes to relax. Big Bear has amazing donut game and Dank Donuts does a wonderful job of standing out amidst the crowd to offer unique and fresh tastes and at atmosphere that goes above and beyond your typical donut shop.

I paid $5.45 for 5 donuts. One of which was a cinnamon roll that was bigger than my head. If you have a sweet tooth for donuts, this is your best bet in big bear. Everything was very good and affordable. I believe I was there during happy hour (4-5pm daily). I think the happy hour is $0.50/donuts during happy hour. The staff were also helpful when I had a question about online ordering (you need to call to order ahead).

Such friendly service! Every trip to Big Bear isn't complete without a visit to Dank Donuts!!

We had such a great experience at Dank Donuts! The decor is vibrant, fun, and super colorful--it instantly lifts your mood the moment you walk in. The donuts were absolutely delicious--fresh, soft, and full of flavor. Honestly, we came from LA and don't usually find donuts quite like these! Each one felt special and thoughtfully made. And the hot chocolate... just wow. Rich, warm, and perfect for the Big Bear weather--definitely a must-try. Such a cute spot with great vibes and amazing treats. Highly recommend if you're in Big Bear!

Wanted to love it. The marketing is great, loved everything about the place in regards to their look and atmosphere- definitely a cool spot but the actually donuts were not great. They were cold. The ham & cheeses had cubed ham in it (weird) and given to us cold too.

I've had my fair share of donuts and I'm not even a fan anymore but, how could I say no to a place called Dank Donuts. I asked the cashier what her favorite was and she said the neopalitan was hers. Awesome. Is there only word to describe it. Also I had the ham and cheese croissant and my wife had the turkey and pesto. Both were great. I had the nitro cold Brew and my wife had reg coffee. Really good. If you're near here, stop fucking around and stop on by. You won't be disappointed. Plus they sell beer and wine so Wtf. Come through. Definitely recommended.thumbs up. read more

I was really excited to go here because it's the only place in big bear with VEGAN DONUTS!! So excited that we bought a full dozen (which is quite expensive). We got every type just to see how each one was. I will say that the cinnamon crumb was soft and delicious. However, almost every other donut was completely stale and really hard. I understand that vegan donuts probably don't sell as much, but it's unacceptable to be selling such old, stale donuts. And before you say- "well it's a cake donut of course it's more firm!", yes I know that. The cinnamon crumb was the perfect cakey consistency. The rest were CRUNCHY. Very disappointing and a big waste of money. Not to mention the girl behind the counter didn't bother wearing a mask and had a sour attitude. The whole thing was highly unprofessional. VEGANS DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. read more

History

Established in 2018.

Its been a dream to open Dank Donuts in the mountains for many years now. We spent years traveling to different mountain towns all over the world and delivering Dank Donuts to the dankest people. On November 17, 2018 our dream became a reality. We are so excited to share our Dank creation with you!

Meet the Business Owner: Kara and Robert T.

One day a long time ago, we were on an epic snowboarding trip and decided we needed to live in the mountains. We came up with 'Dank Donuts' and dreamed of opening a shop. We started handing out donuts at the bottom of the chairlift at Bear Mountain. We made stickers, shirts, and traveled to as many mountains as we could spreading 'Dank Donuts' and manifesting the shop. With patience, perseverance, and the support of many, we are now living our dreams and are so happy to share it with you. We love when old friends walk through the door to see what their support created, and its even better to meet new friends. Come visit us! Grab a donut, some good vibes, and let's make the world Dank again.

Staff is friendly and I believe the owner is the one who took care of me last time and he was a super cool & nice guy! This place is definitely the neighborhood hot spot.

When in a sleepy mountain town, you never expect to find a fabulous place like this. Quality, well prepared and properly presented with reasonably priced menu. I have eaten some of the best family run small Italian places throughout Orange county and this one rivals all of those. It is absolutely a go-to destination for a proper meal made with love. All with fresh ingredients and presented properly, generous portions served by a small family oriented staff the owner Allison is charming smart and knows true value of quality food and ingredients. After some fabulous conversation we came to understand that she has a great knowledge of food and preparation don't ask her to speak Italian but she will talk to you in French if you like!

When we stopped in the line was extremely long, which is great for the local businesses. The store has three unique sections. Ice cream, candy, chocolate, gummy, worms, etc., and caramel apples. I'm not sure if the employee was happy with us, but we ordered from every section. It almost seemed like he wanted us to go back and get in line to order from a new section but we didn't. I had peanut butter and chocolate on a cake cone that was outstanding. The wife had chocolate chip on a sugar cone and she also enjoy it. The grandkids had a variety of different flavors and I have to assume they enjoyed it because there was none left. The daughter ordered a caramel apple with some topping on it that she thoroughly enjoyed. She also ordered an extra one that was sliced that she shared with all of us. It had caramel and nuts on it. Very tasty. We also ordered different chili, flavored gummy worms and gummy rings. The grandkids thoroughly enjoyed. In addition, had to try out the chocolates. Had the dark chocolate haystack wasn't too impressed with it. Had a couple of dark chocolate cashew clusters. The wife said they were very good. The three employees that were working behind the counter we're doing a great job keeping the line moving. They also offer a discount if you eat at saucy mamas beforehand and bring your receipt. If you're visiting the village and get a sweet tooth this is a great place to stop.

The line moved quickly, and it was well worth the wait. We ordered a two-scoop waffle cone, which was absolutely humongous and incredibly delicious. The portions were generous, the ice cream was rich and flavorful, and there were so many tempting flavors to choose from that making a decision was the hardest part. The staff was friendly and efficient, the prices were reasonable, and the lively atmosphere added to the fun. It was the perfect way to end a relaxing day in the mountains. We'll definitely be back for another scoop (or two!) the next time we visit Big Bear.

One employee appeared to be focused on tidying and cleaning rather than preparing customer orders, and another was brushing her teeth in the kitchen area, which I found extremely unprofessional and off-putting. The overall experience felt disorganized and inconsiderate of customers' time. Due to the unnecessary delay and the lack of professionalism, I ultimately canceled my order and requested a refund. Very disappointing experience. Edit in response to the owner: I don't believe it's rude to ask about my drink after waiting what felt like an unreasonable amount of time. I think most people would understand feeling frustrated by a long wait. That said, even if the wait time hadn't been an issue, seeing an employee brushing their teeth in the same area where food and drinks are prepared was extremely off-putting. I found it unhygienic and frankly unacceptable. That, combined with the poor service experience, is why I ultimately felt compelled to leave this review.

I can't comprehend any business being allowed to do what I have experienced within the last day. I walked in yesterday with a view to trying their breakfast. before I could even complete my order, a blond female calling herself Kara angrily approaches me, defaming me and trying to hound me out of town saying "Oh my God, you're still here." I was wondering what on earth is this about? She claims to be the owner of the place which Is neither here nor there but I learn a few hours later that she has started emailing other businesses in the area defaming me and telling them not to take my business. One wonder what on earth can make an individual so unhappy that they start some sort of campaign against an individual and the impact for Big Bear as a great place for visitors from all parts of the country. The place should be out of business is their owner conducts it in that way. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem and a must-visit if you're in Big Bear! We stopped by on our way home, and I'm so glad we did. I tried their strawberry and blueberry donuts, and they were absolutely incredible, so flavorful, and perfectly sweet. I loved them so much that I had to go back and grab more... and let's just say they didn't last long on the drive! We also tried a couple of their sandwiches and the potato salad, and everything was just as delicious. The flavors were spot-on, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. I'll definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I'm in the area again. Highly recommend if you're looking for something tasty and satisfying in Big Bear! read more

This owner becoming unhinged in the DMs over an extremely benign 3 star review tells you everything about this place. Say it publicly if you believe it. I have never been here before and I don't return to places that don't put as much respect in their vegan/vegetarian food as they do in their meaty food. I visit Big Bear often from where I live in the DESERT, but good job letting the LA peeps know to avoid here. Hilarious coming from the guy whose location in his profile is Culver City. I dunno, maybe just be happy with your 4.5 stars and not get sour when someone doesn't like every item they tried. read more

Pretty good donuts and croissants. I got the ham and cheese one and it was good, but the dough seemed a little undercooked. My friend liked her Neapolitan donut and we each got a drink. I asked if they had soy milk for my chai tea and the guy said they had almond milk, which is fine but I'm not a fan so I declined. Then he said they had soy, so I was a little confused on why he didn't just say yes when I had asked haha. Would go back when I come back to Big Bear. read more
