Decently priced donuts and they don't feel too oily and nor are they sickeningly sweet. Honestly ignore the ignorant comments of "rude owners," got a feeling some phrases don't get translated well to English and people exaggerate their tone. They get your stuff fast and their stuff tastes great! No longer buying from Krispy Kreme. read more

Great doughnuts and they accept Apple Pay and card but prefer cash. Prices fluctuate.

Donuts are actually SO good here (think pink box style donuts). Not too sweet. Cozy place too. The lady taking our payment was so sweet and friendly. The only reason I'm rating this so low is one of the workers gathering the donuts treated us as if we were inconveniencing her buying their donuts?! The donuts were all stacked on a rack. We came in around 1:30-2pm. It was already hard to see the donuts without pressing your face into the glass cover. There were no other customers in the store but she kept rushing us to pick stuff. As we were about to pay, she wanted me to check the small bag of 3 donuts to make sure it was correct. I was trying to but she had her index finger tightly gripping the bag. I couldn't see the donuts due to the way it was stacked. I asked her a few times to let go of the bag so I could see but she wouldn't. It's less than $5 worth of donuts I'm buying, I have no plans of taking off with the goods without paying. While the donuts are so delicious, that was such a strange interaction. Lastly, the place had their doors open but it smelled like wet, old towels. read more

Fresh donuts, not greasy, and good size. Friendly service at the counter. There are some seats inside, but not a hangout place. Giving a 5 star for the taste, and value. Will buy again for takeout! read more

The lady working there is nice and friendly. There is always people sitting inside eating, so it makes for a nice atmosphere.

They came in clutch when we needed donuts for our son's bday party donut wall. His bday landed in the Saturday after thanksgiving, and the owner allowed us to place an order right after thanksgiving! Their timing was great and they have good, reliable, classic donuts, read more

Yelp, I won't be going there again. Although the donuts were delicious, they charge a 'non cash' fee if you pay with a card. I'll go elsewhere next time I have a craving. read more

This place is slightly tucked away from the naked eye so you'll have to keep your eyes peeled. I came in here to treat some of my staff with donuts over the weekend. The prices were good here as well with the variety they had from glazed donuts to cake donuts and filled donuts. A dozen does for $20 here. They seem to run out quick so it's best to go here early in order to have more variety. My favorite is always the glazed donut and it was lucky to find some left when I got here in the afternoon. Everything was just good here and I definitely recommend DKs Donuts for getting a box of donuts for any event. read more

We went looking for some special Halloween donuts, they were very few unfortunately. And we went there at 7 o'clock in the morning approximately early enough for them to have some on hand. Their donuts are good, they don't freshly fry their donuts there from what I understand. read more

The service and ambiance is typical of a donut shop and the donuts are of an excellent selection. Also served are ham & cheese croissants and these are truly outstanding in both jalapeno and plain versions. read more

We went in and the lady was nice unfortunately Yelp is wrong and they don't accept credit cards. They have an ATM. But I didn't have my debit card. So we had to leave. Might go back once I have cash in hand. read more

CASH ONLY!!! They recently went cash only and although they have an ATM on site, it with with a heavy fee. The sign needs to be on the window or something. The donuts are nice and fluffy and the recently increased price is $16 a dozen for regular donuts. The Vietnamese ladies behind the counter are a bit rough around the edges with their customer service but I don't believe they're mean spirited but more of a cultural thing. The younger lady of the two was pretty rude and the older one noticed and came over to redeem her but I'm not really looking for warm and fuzzy anyways. Convenient parking and fresh donuts. CASH ONLY is a thing tho since many don't carry cash anymore. read more

There's only one thing that I can say about DK donuts they are by far the best donut house in town in Lake Forest and Mission Viejo and Laguna and Irvine and Foot Hill Ranch it's worth the drive I've been a resident for 40 years I have been patronizing that donut shop and I have tried them all and the new ones but Dks Donuts is my go to shop I know the owner she does an excellent job it's a private owned one place she will custom make donuts for you they are fresh every day and they are huge you cannot go wrong MALENA is the owner and she does a great job BEST IN TOWN Ps if you think your donut shop is better and you haven't been to d k s read more

3.5????? Are you people nuts? I've traveled a lot over the years and wherever I go the first thing I do is look for the best doughnut shop in the area. This doughnut shop is better than any I have EVER been to......BY FAR!!. I hesitate to let you in on a little secret but here goes...their maple bars are AWESOME! And, if you get there between 4:30AM and 5:00AM they are warm. Save one for me! read more

DK's Donuts - Best maple bar in the world!!!!!!!! - Donuts Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Jalepeno Ham and Cheese is to die for and they open at 3am!!! Fresh coffee and donut holes to start the day!

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! I did not have any cash so I went to the ATM 3 feet from the desk, while the woman who worked there basically watched over my shoulder as I was withdrawing money from the ATM. I didn't have any money in my checking account so I needed to transfer money via phone. I told her this, as she said "I'll show you how to do it." I told her I knew how to work the ATM and that my phone was transferring my money to the ATM as we speak. Doing this took a little bit of time and the transaction on the ATM was canceled. She then proceeded to walk in my direction and try and help me with the ATM like I was stupid. Excuse my language, but I know how to fucking work the goddamn ATM, and I didn't need her help. I am the stereo-typical ditzy dumb blonde and I'm young. I may be putting this stereotype on myself but I'm pretty sure that she stereotyped me into this too. It made me feel very stupid. And when I got back my change, it was incorrect. She counted it out in front of me and gave me the wrong change. How are you going to look in my face and give me an incorrect amount of money while saying the amount of my change right in front of my face? All of this had already made me insanely furious but I decided not to say anything about the change because I didn't want to ruin my own day by carrying this stupidity on any longer. I haven't eaten my donuts yet but I know for sure that the service is unbelievably terrible and that I'm not stupid. read more

Two things that bugged me. 1: I slowly and specifically said which donuts I wanted, and saw the woman pull them from the display and set aside. She counted 8 donuts and charged me for 8 donuts..... I get in my car, drive away and 20 min later open the box to see only 6 donuts.... She pulled 8 aside but only put in 6? How? So that made me mad to pay for two donuts that I WANTED for my family, and didn't get. 2: upon paying, I pulled out my card and she told me "cash only" and pointed to an ATM machine... which charges 3:00 to take out money. I said "no pay pal or anything?" She said "no, small business". That's okay, just would be nice to have that somewhere on a window so I don't go through the whole order, knowing I don't have cash on me. So ON TOP of not getting 2 donuts I paid for, I also paid a fee to get cash to buy them. That was an annoying experience and I won't be coming back. read more

****NOT COVID COMPLIANT**** I work late and have stopped in the late evening hours 3 times in the last month. ALL 3 times the asian man behind the counter who is making the doughnuts is not wearing a mask. he puts it on when come through the door. takes off as soon as you leave. *****COVID is not over, I wear a mask 60 hours a week. This guy has no excuse. he is just arrogant and is risking the lives of every single customer that he is making doughnuts for. sent email tp DK corporate . read more

The donuts here are phenomenal. I've been to, pretty much, every donut shop in the area, and DK has the fluffiest donuts around. They are light, airy, and the perfect texture. read more

Great service and friendly owner and donuts the best

FLAME. I got a ham and cheese croissant and a maple bar and not only was it cheap, it was SO good.

Excellent and fresh donuts. Bought a raspberry filling and twisted donut. Much better than the ones I buy from the grocery stores. read more

Walked in to multiple maskless people hanging out, including the people behind the counter. They put on masks to interact with me, which I appreciated, but would have appreciated it more if it was on the whole time. None of the stuff you can usually get at DKs was there. No bacon, no eggs, if you want a sandwich you can get ham & cheese and that's it. They advertise smoothies with a sign but there's no menu for them. She asked what kind of smoothie I wanted and I asked what the options were. They didn't have any options she just said I have the powders. So I threw out Strawberry and Orange I guess? She mixed the powders with MILK and ice so now I have a "fruit smoothie" that tastes like protein powder. Overall, I walked in really excited for my usual bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and smoothie from DKs and left with a ham and cheese that I'm not excited about and a disgusting smoothie that I'll probably take two more sips of and toss. Plus it's cash only which I didn't notice until I had already ordered so then I got charged an extra $2.50 fee at the ATM for the pleasure of this terrible meal. read more

Mithona helped me At 2:30 pick the freshest donuts and was so patient and sweet! I'll be back just for him, he's a keeper

The selections here are your average, boring donuts. Not bad, but just a cut above grocery chain offerings. Ive never seen tbe lady there ring the order up so I assume all or most transactions are tax cheats. read more

Great service...best donuts in El Toro area. Marlena was so kind and gave me extra donut holes with my order.

Not sure why the reviews are so bad. This is a mom and pop donut shop run by a nice family. Got my $1 donut, pretty good. They threw in several donut holes for me to take away too. read more

Stopped by to get donuts just now. Had to leave after a minute because they had MULTIPLE flies on their donuts. Didn't wan to risk getting sick. I don't recommend coming here for donuts. read more

People expect too much from this place. Its great for what it is. Owners are nice and gave us some extra donuts holes. Tasted great. Get over yourselves and stop expecting so much from a donut shop. read more

DISGUSTING! I've gone here for awhile, but I won't be going back after walking into their bathroom! I grew up on a farm so I'm used to gross things, but this bathroom was the worst I've ever seen! Even worse than some pretty bad gas stations. I can only imagine how they take care of what they serve people if they can't even keep up the restroom. All I wanted to do was wash my son's hands. And this made the sticky floor seem that much worse. I excused it initially since they serve juice and coffee but after seeing how bad it was I realized they just don't clean up...at least not often enough for me. read more
