If you want to play cards at a table in a donut shop, don't come here. That activity is strictly prohibited according to a sign posted on the wall. Otherwise if you promise to be good, the Prince makes awesome donuts. The glazed twist was as soft as a nursing baby's source of nourishment. The powdered donut filled with lemon was as comforting as a kitten's purr. We didn't stop at that! We plowed through an apple fritter that was nice and crisp with a gooey center. They have the most excellent coffee bar too. They hand you a cup and then help yourself to one of about a dozen varieties. Old photos of famous people that greeted the Prince back in the day still adorn the walls. read more

Vegetarian review: - cheese croissant: warm, is good. It's filled with... a white cheese of some sort. - donut holes: just ok. They don't really taste like a standard donut hole and I don't have the verbiage to explain it, but it's not the texture. Texture is ok. Taste is... not as great. Crumb is a cinnamon sort. This was backwards from above. Taste was ok, texture was not as great. - service was good - parking was easy Not my cup of tea, but it might be yours. Give it a try read more

I grew up seeing the 'don't get a divorce, get a donut' commercial so when I was driving through Burbank with my kids & saw Donut Prince with my kids, I knew I had to stop so I turned around and drove in to the parking lot. I will say, right off the bat, that the parking lot for this & the other few businesses is very small. The lot is big, but most of it is designated just for the pharmacy so be ready to have to either park on the street, or circle around a few times until a spot opens up. The interior of the shop is very narrow and long. There is minimal eating space, but that's fine because most people are going to be getting food to go anyway. I was instantly surprised with now extensive their menu is. From doughnuts to sandwiches and one of the widest selection of teas I have ever seen in a restaurant, they have it all. Luckily for my we came in to get doughnuts so I didn't have to ponder which of the great looking sandwiches I wanted to get. My kids appreciated all of the specialty donuts they had with colors and shapes while I went with just a classic sugar glazed. Everything tasted fresh and warm despite it being around 2pm on a weekday. This isn't a shop where they just cook everything in the morning and then things last as long as they do. Prices are a tad high, but unfortunately gone are the days of doughnuts for under $1. It just is what it is. I'm sure there's also a bit of an inflation going on because they know they're a well known local icon & can get away with charging a bit more. The woman working the counter was friendly but was keeping herself busy until we verbally said we were ready to order. I'm assuming she's used to people needing time so she just keeps herself busy until then. But she was friendly and helpful. I have absolutely no complaints. Doughnut shops are a dime a dozen in Los Angeles. Donut Prince knows their niece but they're definitely not letting their commercial fame run the show. They're still providing fresh, tasty breakfast snacks and are for sure worth a quick pitstop if you are in the area. read more

Tourist trap in a non touristy area. Boba gets stuck inside the straw, causing my kid to take the straw out and proceed to spill the tea all over his shirt. Great. The donut itself was nothing to write home about either. Glad George Lopez likes it enough to shoot a commercial for them read more

Have you seen the cheesy viral commercial for this place? "Don't get a divorce, get a donut!". This place has good donuts but it is expensive! You are paying for that commercial! I paid for $18.99 for 6 donuts. 2 crullers, 2 glazed buttermilk, 1 apple fritter (it needs more apple) and 1 Boston crème. She added a free plain donut. The service is good-they are friendly. read more

Happy 4th of July. We just finished having a delicious breakfast across the street at Tallyrand. We decided on trying out a couple of donuts despite being full from eating breakfast. They had a nice selection to choose from and the great part was that they weren't overly sweetened. read more

Donut Prince - Happy 4th of July 2025 - Donuts Near Me - Burbank, California

Just stopped on a quick break from worked and was excited that I pulled up to the Donut Prince spot in Burbank by chance. I recognized it was the iconic spot with the hilarious commercial on instagram. Well, sadly the experience was not a good one. I received a hard/burnt apple fritter that the cashier refused to exchange or just give me a different donut of the same value. I told her to touch it cause it was has hard as a brick, she said she would give me a regular donut to replace it of lesser value and thru it in trash. I sad nope just give me another one or a donut of same cost. She tried to convince me the apple fritter was fine & fresh. May have been made today, but it was burnt & hard as a brick. The raspberry filled I purchased was excellent, night & day. She finally just gave me my $ back for the fritter. But all that back an forth and gaslighting was uncalled for. Still love the commercial, but definitley never returning or recommending this spot to anyone. Lol.... read more

I've has been in Burbank resident for such a long time. on my way home from school back in the day. I have my favorite donuts at Donut Prince. The one with lots of chocolate chips on top. I love supporting small business. The staff is super friendly. I keep going back because one day I forgot my wallet and he just told me pay me later so that was a great marketing tool because I went back the next day and got more donuts. So I continue to support this business. Give this place a try you'll love it. Plenty of parking on the street and they have a parking lot. No parking on the street 8-10 on Fridays. read more

Stopped here for a donut after picking up my mom at the Burbank airport. This place is LA iconic given some really fun silly marketing that eating donuts together will save you from divorce. This couple is so earnest and endearing that it works if you watch the ad on YouTube. Solid donuts with good prices. Place feels a little dingy on the inside, but service was kind and quick. I would come back! read more

Donut Prince has been serving the Burbank community for as long as I can remember. This donut shop has so many super fresh options. Besides donuts they sell croissants, sandwiches, and pastries. On this last visit, I just picked up a couple donuts and they were great as always. The workers are super friendly and work hard keeping the place running smoothly. The quality, variety, tastiness and prices will have you come back. It was also fun looking at the wall of stars that have been here. The owners even have a videos on YouTube. Just type in Donut Prince Commercial. Plenty of parking Plenty of fresh coffee options read more

For the last few months I've been a regular patron at Donut Prince. The decor is nothing special, but they have a nice vibe and celebrity pics on the wall from when celebrities used to go there when the parents use to run the shop. The two Hispanic ladies (one with a short bob and the other who wears glasses) who usually run the place are friendly, professional and hard-working. No complaints there. However, today, in addition to a doughnut and my usual sandwich, I asked for my usual Frapp (sugary flavored coffee) and with "half ice." The reason I ask for half ice is that the workers are trained to fill the cup with ice so they can give you less coffee. You wind up getting a lot less coffee that way. Well, I'm not paying the high price for a cup of ice. I'm paying for the coffee. So half ice please. Today, they tell me the owner wants to charge an additional dollar if someone asks for half ice. Oh really? So I'm already paying the high price for coffee, but to actually get a cup of mostly coffee (and not so much ice), I have to pay a dollar more? That's petty and greedy. No thanks. I'm not paying for a cup of ice. They just lost a regular customer. That's bad business. I hope it was worth it. There are dozens of doughnut shops. This is just one. In this climate where businesses are trying to find every way to overcharge you already, find one that doesn't price gouge you further for trying to get what you already paid too much for. read more

This is to the owners i was here in Sunday at 1215 in afternoon I am always buying donuts here this girl is so rude shes on the heavier side instead of helping me and another customer shes too busy getting her ice in her tumbler which is germs because your putting ice in other cups to other customers. Lucy is the only one with extremely best customer service. How dare that girl be rude to your customers. read more

Do I yelp much anymore, no--would I had ever thought I'd yelp about a local donut joint, never--until today. $6 dollars for a illegitimate "cronut" is crazy, especially at a local neighborhood donut shop that doesn't list their prices (that's more expensive than sidecar and voodoo) and especially if it's just a small, regular donut, with the flavor, texture and greasiness of a microwaved store bought croissant, molded into a circle and glazed (which honestly, if they're not already doing, they might as well do that). The sticker shock I had was crazy because it's just 6 bucks but honestly it's the principle of it--the real cronut in NYC is 10 bucks and pretty much needs to be shared. It's so crispy, flakey and perfect. This morning, I wanted to treat myself to something bad for me and it was the McDonalds next door that I was heading to until I saw this donut shop. Had no idea they are overpriced as F and mid as heck. Calling that a cronut is a travesty to all bakeries, fancy or not. Shouldn't be more than 4 and that is honestly giving you some grace. read more

never thought I'd be writing a review about a donut shop. I ordered a croissant sandwich just egg cheese and ham. A classic right? ehhh wrong! As I'm getting ready to pay the lady asks if I would like mayo I said yes? I never thought she'd just give me a mayo sandwich. The mayo was dripping out of the croissant. If I knew she gonna serve me an insane amount of mayo I would have never said yes in the first place. I call them hoping I could get a remake. for my luck the lady that did my sandwich answers and I ask her if I could possibly get a remake she says no and goes to tell me if I would to go to McDonalds I'd get it handed it the same way? I got my sandwich done by them not McDonald's? As I'm on the phone with her she goes to tell me she has a costumer and hangs up on me? I didn't want my money back I just wanted it remade and couldn't get that unfortunately. read more

This review is for the commercial with Jorge Lopez.... How am I just seeing this in 2025!!! Support small businesses!

Can't complain Donuts were taste. Famous people have been here. Woman working there waslacking personality. They sell almond cookies for Chinese New Year read more

Went here around 7:30 pm, good amount of donuts left but not much variety of choices (not an issue with me, im basic). But if you're look for like the "cute" ones with like designs & stuff they don't got that, I don't know if they do that for holidays though. Service she's really nice :) super sweet! The place has parking & it just gives me nostalgia. Also the donuts may be too sweet for some people! read more

I went in a donut hole crawl around Burbank, lol. And this was the winner!!! Service was great. Def your mom and pop donut shop ambiance! But go for the holes!!! read more

There were ants in the tray where the glazed croissant doughnut were!!! That is gross and totally disappointing.

Neighborhood donut shop that has excited for many decades. This shop is open 24/7 with fresh daily donuts and pastries. I always love coming here to enjoy fluffy donut holes and a glaze donut. The staff seems like family and just by sitting in my booth a young lady (maybe owner or associated ownership) talked story with the people. It felt like a cozy place with pride in their relationship with the community. People who come here all seem familiar with the shop and come and go with a smile. Support local especially this donut shop in Burbank. read more

My kids go to this place everyday after school. They are awesome and the service is amazing. They know their regular customers by name.

Best donuts in Burbank, bar none. Lot's of variety and holiday styles too! The next time I'm in LA County I'm running from the Airport to this place. Also just a nice cozy vibe inside and the coffee is great too. Very nice people just eager to get you a sweet treat. read more

There donuts taste fresh and soft. I love their Crumb Glazed and their glazed donut holes. They have the best collection of self served drip coffees. They have decaf hazelnut which I love. Their service is warm and friendly. Many celebrities have gone to this donut shop. The ambiance is like the 70s era which I love. Love their logo. You have to go to see yourself about their logo. read more

I live in Studio City and saw a facebook ad for this place and went today. I have a Cambodian friend who said that Cambodians make the best donuts (her parents had a very successful donut shop near the airport but that is too far for me to drive). I purchased the crumb donut because getting a cake donut really tells me whether the donuts are properly made. These are absolutely perfect in crumb, moist, and delicious. I also purchased the apple fritter. Also perfectly done. That's when I spied the almond cookies. Yes, the almond cookies of lore that used to be served in Chinese restaurants, now long gone. If they're not the doppelganger of those those bygone days, they are as close as you're ever going to get. Don't miss this rare treasure If you get a chance. Take them home to enjoy with hot tea. read more

Have you had just the worst day ever and need some sweet treats? Don't get candy, don't get a McFlurry, get Donut Prince. Not only are you supporting a small business but you're having the best donuts in Burbank. They aren't processed plastic tasty garbage like Krispy Kreme. They're the real deal. This place is truly the best example of a mom and pop LA joint. It's filled with headshots of actors who were popular 20 years ago. It's sun faded. It's old. It's wasting a ton of space both with its booths and antiquated kitchen. Everyone you know loves this place despite not having five stars. Honestly if this place took some design cues from similar spots in Silver Lake, Austin or Portland I could see this place getting even more business than it does right now. I always see people there, whether it's 12AM or 12PM. Change the awning and paint, update the interior just a bit. Replace the booths with some cute lounge furniture and relaxed lighting to make this what Starbucks used to be. A cute little place to sip coffee, get a donut and write. I do think maybe they should only do donuts and coffee, I know they also do sandwiches/breakfast but I wonder how much business that actually brings in. Idk, this place has such potential and I could see it really thriving with some minor tweaks and some paint. Of course none of that matters, you just want donuts. Well, they're fresh and delicious and better than Krispy Kreme. read more

Absolutely my favorite donut place. This is the spot my coworkers always get excited about when I bring donuts to the office.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! They are not following Covid Mandates when numbers are doubling every day! The owners and employees are not wearing masks and they are allowing unmasked people in. I asked the owner why he wasn't following mask mandates and he replied, " oh, it's not necessary now." WOW! I left and will never go back. Putting so many people at risk. Very selfish. Fyi Covid testing centers are overwhelmed and pharmacies are sold out of "at home tests!" Just saying DONUT PRINCE! read more

Have gone here for close to 30 years but no more. Way down hill. Horrible customer service now. $3 for donut and an eff you level of care. I asked for a cup of water with my over priced stale donut not for a kidney! Used to be great. Day crew should be replaced. Go to Doughnut Hut instead. read more

I believe she is the owner .. she is so rude! I will no longer go to this place! She was yelling that I need to pay before she gets my donut, I was at the counter with my card, other people were inside it was very rude and embarrassing the old owners were great! read more

A good place to stop in and have a donut. It is always warm and inviting, and the coffee is of good quality.

On the urge of divorce, but got a donut instead and we're back thanks donut prince ur awesome sauce

I've been to a good amount of mom and pop donut shops however the prices here are on the steeper side. We got the chocolate cruller, glaze cronut, and the glaze donut with the black/raspberries totalling over $13. While they're tasty, it doesn't really taste good when it's almost the same price as a decent meal. Other shops offering the same menu around the SGV charge me $13-$15 for a dozen donuts. I guess the shop is popular among celebrities since there are photos plastered around the wall. Probably explains the markup on their menu. Staff was friendly and it's nice they're open late night. They have a variety of items on their menu such as juices and sandwiches. read more

Great especially the cinnamon cake! Now if they would only make breakfast sandwiches before 630

This place has the best donuts I've ever tasted. Best Cinnamon Rolls too. We stumbled on it by accident while staying in Burbank for a horse show. read more

From out of town. Saw the old school commercial and went there last night (9:30) for Sh&Gig. Chocolate Old Fashioned didn't disappoint. Shop is like walking into a the 70s/80s. Pink Formica and plenty of parking. Definitely would recommend. read more

Ordered a muffin and it was so stiff and hard.Driest thing I ever ate like it was sitting there for days nasty.

My favorite donuts in the valley! so soft and delightfully sweet but not overpowering

This used to be one of my favorite spots to go to when I was in high school! The donuts taste amazing and so do their breakfast sandwiches. Sadly, they are only getting 2 stars as I went in today and one of the workers who was serving people, was not wearing a mask. And by the looks of the rest of the reviews, it seems it has been this way for a couple of months now. This is not the right way to be serving people. I understand some people may not agree with wearing masks, but now it looks like you don't even care about your customers. Because of this, I cannot support this business anymore which is truly sad. I hope this business takes COVID and the health and safety of their works and customers seriously moving forward. read more

Pretty sad and disappointed that my Apple fritter was burned. The taste was burnt the look was darker than usually. I wish I took a photo of it.'I should have known looking at it through display case it look darker than normal. Normal from all donut places. I also got the buttermilk glazed. It was good but not their usually great yum amazing. Prince use to be my go to buttermilk when in Burbank. But after today it may change. Unless I go during the day with a new baker. I went after the movies it was around 10:30-11pm. My buttermilk glazed was warm like it was freshly made but the glaze did not have that crunch. Slight hard shell. Ugh that one of the things I love about buttermilk glazed. The baker was nice but had a weird feel. He would be nice and then have a mean feel but then nice again. read more
