    Vegan Apple Fritters, Blueberry Cake, Cinnamon Rolls. Dubai Chocolate Donut! ( ^_^)b
    Kevin M.

    Friendly Donuts is some of the best! We have been here only a few times, but I have always left happy! They are open 24 hours and they are known to offer many VEGAN options. This is great for those with food allergies. The location is well lit and has a decent size parking. The inside has bench seating and nice decor for photo ops. The staff here were efficient and hospitable. On a recent late night visit we scooped up a few vegan donuts and pastries for my wife and I saw a Dubai Chocolate I could not pass up! The vegan donuts all tasted great and that Dubai one was amazing. I love coming out here to Friendly Donuts for a delicious treat and because my wife can enjoy an array of vegan donut selections. Thanks, Friendly Donuts! ( ^_^)b

    Over a decade ago I went to Friendly Donuts in Orange and I was so underwhelmed. Recently when my boyfriend mentioned seeing Friendly Donuts from a YouTuber he follows, I was open to trying it again. It's been so long. I was rooting for them to improve. I was optimistic as we pulled up into their little parking lot. There was a lot of improvements to the donut shop. Definitely new paint, new fun back drop, a wide selection when we came during the weekend. We ordered a Canadian Favorite ($4.50), a Pistachio Donut ($3.25), a Maple Cruller (Promo $1), and a Dozen Donut Holes ($4). We were full from lunch but we wanted to try the donut holes right away.. .. .. ugh... disappointment... so dense. Not a fan. My boyfriend ate the pistachio donut said it was not bad, better than the donut holes. His theory is maybe they do better cake donuts than yeast donuts. I microwaved the Canadian favorite which is the maple with the bacon and it wasn't hard since it was warm, flavor was good but just about as good as all the other donut shops. Oh the seating the did have along the side of the little shop was a bit tight and the surface could use some cleaning. It had a lot of donut crumbles from previous patrons. I feel like the latest visit is a smidge better than my last visit. I do see improvements but I wouldn't go out of my way for this place. It's probably an okay option for locals. And I still don't feel like they're friendly... sorry when you name your place friendly donuts, you set up expectations for your staff to be friendly.

    Orange County, meet your new local donut dealer. Friendly is not the only good thing about this donut joint. What's also excellent is the variety of delicious donuts they have to offer. Donuts, cronuts, and mochi donuts .. Friendly Donuts has got them all. And the best part? They are very affordable compared to other fancy donut shops around. I came to pick up a dozen donuts to take to a friend's house this morning. I decided to upgrade to a dozen mochi donuts when I found out a dozen was only $32. I've tried donuts here in the past to know that they are tasty as well. In a time when most prices are inflated, I appreciate that Friendly Donuts has kept their prices fair. That mixed with a variety of scrumptious donuts and friendly service, you have found your new local donut dealer!

    Another stop before returning to San Diego. What a great selection!

    Stopped by Friendly Donuts on my way back home from a road trip. I'm so glad we stopped, because they had a nice selection of vegan donuts for my son and regular donuts for myself. Every donut we tried was delicious. I like that the donuts do not taste artificial and the flavors really come through! My favorite donut flavor as the Ube! Very clean inside and staff were helpful plus friendly!

    The blueberry fritter is the bomb! Very friendly crew. Definitely will go back to try more flavors
    Joyce L.

    Super friendly crew. Tons of real good flavors but for me blueberry fritter is the most outstanding Will definitely go back to try more other flavors

    So yummy!

    Great service and yummy donuts Unique flavors. Dubai donut is a fave. Check them out!

    The place lives up to its name. The people are always friendly and patient with my spaced-out ness. The donuts are amazing. Mochis are my general faves but the seasonal are a delight too. Current fave is the crème brulee... holy crap. It even has the crust.

    The dough isn't too sweet, but isn't as airy as some of the other donuts I've had in OC. I can see why it's rated higher than Oliboli donuts. The maple donut frosting is out of this world good. Long John's were more airy than the main circular donuts . Cake donuts dry

    Glazed, blueberry fritter, animal cookie, Nutella dossant
    Elizabeth C.

    This place is amazing! Steven answered so many questions about all the different donuts and helped direct our choices. My daughter loved her animal cookie donut and the Nutella strawberry dossant was bomb!

    I dropped by around 9 pm and got the buttermilk glazed, peach cobbler, guava apple fritter, red velvet, and french cream. The donuts were excellent. Guava apple fritter was delicious, crispy on the edges and had really good texture. The only small suggestion I would point out is that the glazed buttermilk was a little dry. I highly recommend this donut shop. I appreciate the variety of donuts offered while maintaining really good quality.

    You guys did it again!!!! I love the variety and fun environment of the shop! Thanks for the fun donuts!

    An excellent little donut shop in OC. I've been here a few times already, and it's always a pleasant experience. The many and unique donuts to choose from, breakfast croissants and sandwiches, coffees, a variety of beverages, and more! They offer some great seasonal and monthly special items. Always looking forward to what they create. They also have some classic donuts as well if that's your thing. One of my recent orders was the turkey cold croissant sandwich with avocado, cheese, and the works. It was tasty and filling. A few more recent favorites are the glazed ube and blueberry donuts, breakfast and cold croissant sandwiches, Green Thai Tea, and many more I can't remember. Browsing the tasty-looking treats is also an enjoyment. They also offer a variety of gluten-friendly and vegan donuts. Nice to know they are aware of dietary needs. The prices reflect some of the premium offerings, but it's definitely a nice treat once in a while. The staff and service have been friendly and efficient, getting customers through quickly. Once inside, the fun decor and the mouthwatering display of goodies enhance the experience. I'm looking forward to visiting again when the sweet cravings hit.

    The apple fritter is massive and delicious here!
    Phil M.

    We love friendly! The staff is always very welcoming and nice, the donuts are fresh and there is an huge variety of donuts, drinks and food to choose from. Our first choice for donuts is always friendly!

    Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

The chocolate ganache cake was not really my cup of tea, but I think that's my own personal preference. It was bitter, which I know ganache can be sometimes. I also tried their cookie croissant, which was decent, but the croissant was pretty hard. The bakery is super cute though. I do want to try their pastries, but was disappointed with the few items I got sadly.

We ordered the Fugazzeta and a pepperoni pizza--both were delicious, especially the Fugazzeta. We also tried the gnocchi and milanesa napolitana with Russian salad, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Before leaving, we grabbed desserts: bread pudding with dulce de leche, a dulce de leche cannoli, and alfajores--all really good. Only downside: I later noticed the receipt showed two chocolate volcano desserts instead of the alfajores I actually got. Not sure if it was a mistake or mix-up, but worth double-checking your receipt. Overall, great food, great vibes, and I'd definitely come back.

We had some of their beef empanadas $3.90 each, and a gnocchi de la casa (House gnocchi) with chicken $17. The beef empanada was filled with beef, eggs, and olives and had a nice sweet and savory balance. The gnocchi was good although the chicken was a bit tough. We also ordered a side of their French bread, which was warm and soft. I dunked the bread into the creamy tomato sauce in the gnocchi dish. The restaurant offers inside and patio seating, and it has a casual yet cozy ambience. I would come back to try their other empanadas and maybe their pizza. They also have beef and chicken milanesa, breakfast items, salads, sandwiches, pasta, and even a case of pastries and dessert! I need to come back and try their baked goods and fruit tarts.
