    The only Karen I love!
    Sandra S.

    This has got to be my favorite local donut spot. They sell out all the time, and it took me a few times to try various donuts since they were just out of some. Well at first, the ones I tried kept me coming back! Now I know to show up early, and get my dozen. There is something that sets this place apart. It's not just an apple fritter...it's the best apple fritter I've ever had. It's simple enough-the dough is soft and moist while the sugar is crisp with an almost buttery like melt in your mouth feel. Karen even though I have to run extra miles because of your donuts...I'm still gonna indulge-then run :))

    Karen's Donuts like the inside picture depicts is a pretty straight-forward donut shop. It has relatively easy access and there is ample parking. This is a cash only business. I had my Apple Fritter and coffee. The coffee was on the milder side, but it wasn't watered down. The Apple Fritter, see pic, was about the same diameter as others but was about half as thick as others. This fritter was crunchier, but not over cooked. It had the expected apple filling and sweet glaze. While we enjoyed our Apple Fritter there, it seemed to us that several "regulars" came in and we saw several Maple Bars (as well as Apple Fritters) being sold - FYI.

    Good dense donut! Will come here again when near by! Couldn't take a picture of the other donut cause I already ate it lol

    The donuts are delicious and very affordable. I got one maple donut this morning and the glaze was good. The donut was a little too greasy for me. Service was fast and the staff are always friendly. It is a cash only place so be aware of that. The seating is limited and the place is clean. It's mostly a take and go place. Would recommend and go again.

    The donut still tasted good just wish they had a normal amount of jelly in it

The vibes are top tier & thanks Nas to you and the rest of the staff for being so great all of the time. This establishment has some truly amazing souls that work there. Every time I've been and it's a lot, the service has been wonderful. I used to be a baker for many years and I'm hardly impressed with places because I either taste the cheap lack of quality ingredients or the lack of fresh ones. This place has neither. I taste all the flavors, quality ingredients and fresh ones too. I look forward to all the new things that'll come out and the summer Friday nights for "Deaux after dark" I've been to a few and have never been disappointed. 100/10 Mint matcha is my current favorite drink that you can get to go. Honestly, it's the best matcha I've ever had! 100/10 Ube seasonal was amazing. Breakfast savory and the pastrami are Epic! Tres leches is also one of my favorites. They offer apocalyptic teamster discount. They host community engagement events and have always been this way since day 1. Check them out on social media if you want to keep up with all they have going on.

    I'm a self-proclaimed Pecan Pie Princess and Fritter Fanatic, so when Deux released their Fall menu…read moreI immediately had to stop in. The staff is friendly and there wasn't too bad of a line on a rainy morning. For paying nearly $17 for 2 donuts I'd expect to at least want to finish them, but I was completely disappointed with these. Chocolate Pecan Pie: 2.75/5 The vanilla bean whip topping is some of the best whipped cream I have ever had. The pecan pie filling is a bit too liquidy for my liking and doesn't give you the richness that I'm looking for from a pecan pie filling. The chocolate ganache tastes almost exactly like Pillsbury chocolate frosting, just with a smoother texture. The donut itself was spongy and chewy. I felt like i was chewing the dough for ages. A very chocolate forward donut. Plum Fritter: 1.5/5 I don't know if it's the ingredients, the temperature of the fryer, or what, but whenever I see a fritter out they consistently look burnt. This fritter in particular was completely lackluster. I was expecting crispy, crunchy edges with a soft and spongy center but the entire fritter was soft and mushy, and did not at all have the bite that a fritter should. The texture is more like a concha, if I'm completely honest. There was no sign of plum, aside from the ribbons of the pink throughout the dough. I don't know if they use actually plum chunks the way a typical apple fritter uses apple chunks, or if they use a plum jam ribboned through the dough, but either way I was entirely disappointed by this fritter.

Donut dough felt a day or two old across the board, the dozen costed me close to $30 so I expected freshness at the least. Will try other places but won't come here until freshness gets better. I ordered through Door Dash so maybe they get rid of all the 2 day old donuts that way but the worst donuts I've had in a while. Stale, dry, clearly not fresh. Please raise your standards.

The dough was oily and dense. Rather than a fluffy bite, each chew fought back. The maple bar was the least offensive and had the most distinct flavor. The plain glaze was strangely bland and dense. The chocolate glaze was similarly boring and tasteless. The donut holes were some of the toughest pieces of fried dough. The shop looked clean but the donuts did not taste fresh. The icing and toppings need to pack a stronger punch and the dough recipe should be revised to incorporate an airier element.

I googled and yelped where to get jalapeño bagels and it was either driving out to Loma Linda for potentially overpriced, East coast bagels or stay local. Yum Yum Donuts has always been a regular in downtown Redlands, and it was time to pay a long, overdue visit. At 6 AM, patrons were already lining up. In front of me was a dad and son ordering donuts and coffee for home. It is a nice little corner shop with bright signs and display cases, albeit a little run down on the outside. I prepared a day prior by looking at the menu and knew that I was going to get cream cheese and a dozen bagels-- four jalapeños, four everything, two blueberry, two onion. Buttt, the display case flaunted a scorched garlic and spinach parmesan bagels! My mind glitched and I decided on getting two scorched garlic, two spinach parmesan, four jalapeño, four everything, and two blueberry bagels...Two extra than intended. The lady was very nice about it and laughed when I said I miscounted. Unfortunately, two 8 Oz tub of cream cheese costs almost the same as a dozen bagels ($17 versus $19). What I found endearing was that the box was overstuffed and the nice lady cutting my bagels told me to wait. She grabbed a few pieces of tape to seal the box shut. I couldn't wait to dig in at work. The bagels were huge and would have tasted stellar if I wasn't lazy enough to toast them. The jalapeño with had a nice spice and the blueberry with a sweet, blueberry flavor. I think I'll try their sandwich bagels next.

I was craving some sweets for myself so I decided that a rainy Thursday evening at 6 PM would be a great idea to get a chocolate doughnut lol. I pulled up Yelp and saw the Foster's Donuts was just a block away. As I was pulling up to the donut shop I wasn't expecting much of a selection at this time of day. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was still a great selection of donuts and probably at least 10 to 15 chocolate bars or twists. We were both ecstatic to see that they had our favorite donuts and we picked up two of them. I believe the lady who helped us is one of the owners and she was very sweet and even offered my son a little extra treat! I must admit that when I took a bite of the chocolate bar, I was shocked at how soft and fluffy the donut was. I was fully expecting a dry end of the day donut! If the donuts in the evening are this good, we'll have to come back when they are fresh in the morning!!!

So I decided to go and check out Foster's Donuts. They are located on Tennessee and Colton, at the shopping center on the corner. When we get there, we were welcomed and ordered 2 dozen donut holes, chocolate w/peanuts and chocolate w/sprinkles. As we were waiting for our order, I didn't catch the name of the person that assisted me but she was really nice and gave us extra donuts holes as a thank you. That is really kind of her and very generous; great customer service. When we arrived at home, the donuts weee fresh enjoyable and did not disappoint. My overall experience was great and the customer service we received was welcomed. Next time, we will go back and try their other donut options they have.
