    Cream Filled Donut
    Justin T.

    Tried a few donuts here and overall it was a really good experience! The Dubai chocolate donut was one of my favorites (9/10). The filling was great and the ratio of kataifi, pistachio, and chocolate was perfect. The bear claw, lemon glazed old fashioned and cookies & cream mochi donut were decent but nothing too special for me (all 6/10). The crème brûlée cronut was 7.5/10. The custard filling inside was delicious, but the crystallized sugar on the outside was a little too hard and slightly over-bitter for my liking. The cream-filled donut was DELICIOUS (10/10). The cream was not too sweet and the texture was amazing. The employee said it was their best seller and I totally believe it. Would highly recommend this place!

    If you're anywhere near Orange, Friendly Donuts is the kind of spot that goes way beyond your typical donut shop especially when it comes to variety. The range here is honestly what sets it apart. You've got all the classics like glazed, chocolate bars, old-fashioned, and filled donuts, but they take it further with creative options like mochi donuts, "dossants" (a croissant-donut hybrid), and specialty flavors like crème brûlée, tiramisu, and even Dubai chocolate-inspired creations. What really stands out is how inclusive the menu is. They offer a surprisingly large selection of vegan donuts--not just one or two options, but a full lineup that still delivers on flavor and texture. Whether you have dietary restrictions or just want to mix things up, you won't feel limited here. On top of that, they do custom orders, which makes it a great go-to for parties, events, or just building your perfect box. Everything feels fresh, thoughtful, and made with care. Add in friendly, welcoming service and consistently solid quality across the board, and this is one of those places that keeps you coming back--because there's always something new (and really good) to try.

    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.

    Very good donuts, very nicely decorated, it seems like they're on social media a lot lately. Service was nice, but I do want to mention that we purchased five donuts and it seems like he wanted us to buy even more. They were delicious, but A little bit more expensive than the average donut place. I try to visit there, as I'm driving down Santiago Canyon Road. I may go back next time and give feedback on their coffee.

    I absolutely love friendly donuts! They are delicious and the staff is always so nice. I especially love that they carry gluten friendly donuts because my dear sister is severely allergic to gluten and when she comes to visit, we always make it a point to stop by! Thank you for being so amazing!

    This place is home. Alan, Mimi, bless you both. Came here after 48 hours in hospital while my wife was in labor -- came to give the nurses some mochi donuts. 12 hours later, my daughter was born. Some credited the doctors, most credited my wife, but i credit friendlys!!! Came back the next day and got the nurses even more donuts.. This place is just the best - vegan friendly and truly next level Alan i appreciate you brother!!

    Friendly Donuts never disappoints! Fresh donuts, friendly service, and a classic neighborhood spot vibe. Great place to grab a quick treat and coffee. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area! I've been coming here for 10years and met my husband here 2016

    I love friendly doughnuts! Always has a great selection and yummy coffee.

    I love friendly doughnuts! Great selection of vegan and regular doughnuts and yummy coffee too!

    AMAZED AND AMAZING!!! First Timer (03.23.2026) at this place and I was very IMPRESSED!!! Of course, twas via social media that we heard of this place. Trying it out was right out of the park and I am glad we did. Location on Chapman has a uniqueness to it. Building has a happy feel to it, very well maintained and has ample parking. Walking into a field of donuts that looked all delicious was pretty awesome. This place has a huge selection of donuts and they were so colorful. In addition to this, there's a drink (coffee and blended) and food (breakfast croissants, bagels and sandwiches). selection. Super fast and friendly service from Aryll (I believe that was his name) which I appreciate. I loved loved loved the Sausage, Egg and Cheese Bagel. It was so good. I also had the Vietnamese coffee, which I honestly thought was just ok but that's cool (now I know). Of course, had to get a few donuts for later. Thank you so much Friendly Donuts, the experience was a pleasant one and I intend to be a returning guest. Keep up the great work with this place. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place if you are in the area. I have no doubt it WILL NOT disappoint.

    Amazing donuts, amazing staff (shout out to Alex) and unlike any other donut shop you will ever visit.

    Ube is a purple yam -- It has a smooth texture and a mild, sweet flavor that has been compared to white chocolate or a cross between vanilla and pistachio. That beautiful purple color is its natural color.

Came here on a weeknight for dinner and it was not busy. There are a lot of tables inside with a stage towards the front for live music. The space is light on decor with exception of the walls which had images of lion dancers and other things. Food is ordered at the front and brought to the table when ready. We got the Crispy Oyster Mushrooms and the Eggplant Tofu. The Crispy Oyster Mushrooms came in a portion size that was larger than we expected. They tasted like the Salt and Pepper Squid dish that my family gets from Chinese restaurants which we really like. However, the breading was heavy and a lot of the pieces at the bottom were oily. The Eggplant Tofu was solid. Both the Eggplant and tofu were cooked well and had a nice savory sauce. This dish came with rice on the side. Overall, giving Vegan District Asian Eatery a 4/5. The space is clean and spacious and the staff are nice. The flavors of the food are good. Would recommend to anyone looking for vegan Asian food and would come back to try other things on the menu.

I actually moved to the City of Orange in my early 20s during MY college days and IMO at that time, it was truly a retirement town. It was always peaceful where traffic was at a minimal and everyone's bedtime was by 10pm. I recalled being a typical Asian woman driver and always went the wrong direction at the roundabout. Things have changed so much since then. My own son has already graduated from college and now accompanies me going to that same roundabout, except now there's a lot more nicer restaurants and bars. We made our way to Urth Cafe and it wasn't as busy as I had expected, especially when compared to the locations in L.A. and Pasadena. I personally think this is my favorite location so far because it actually feels cozier (my son said the same about the cozy vibe). We both ordered an Omelette - mine was a Pesto Chicken with cheese. I actually requested to not have Goat cheese on mine but it came with it - so that was as why I had to remove 1 star out of 5 :( My Chicken soup tasted marvelous and my Latte was beautifully crafted. It was a great Sunday and I was so glad my son also had a great time!
