Pam's Donuts & Ice Cream - Front signage - Donuts Near Me - Saugus, California

I just love their donuts! Always fresh and fluffy. I have been taking my kids there since they were in pre-school for a sweet treat to celebrate an occasion. They're in their early 20s now and it's still the spot we go to for a sweet treat. read more

I LOVE this place. They have the best donuts by far in town. Very reasonably priced and the service is great they are so kind. The vibe of the place is very homey and just makes you want to keep coming back. She also every once in a while gives extra free donut holes. read more

I've been coming here for almost 40 years. I lived on Evergreen around the corner growing up and would always get Pam's French crulers for breakfast. I would go get scoops of ice cream there in the summers and when I got into high school I would get my morning, hot chocolate and doughnut before I went to wait for the bus. I have so many memories With Pam's donuts and I will always support this business. Anita is the heart and soul of Pams and it's always so great to see her. Everything is made fresh daily so make sure you get there early and definitely try all the different selections. read more

Always a joy to come here. Smiles and tasty treats abound. Some of the best donuts you'll find in SCV and definitely the best service. The taro smoothie is especially tasty and apple fritters are our favorite. Also some of the best Thai tea you'll find in the area. read more

We've been coming to Pam's for almost 20 years when our kids were in preschool. The donuts are heavenly, fluffy and yummy. We've tried donuts elsewhere and they don't compared. They leave us craving for Pam's. read more

am's Donut Shop is fantastic! The donuts are fresh, delicious, and come in a great variety. I especially loved the classic glazed and the chocolate old-fashioned - both were perfectly made. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the prices are very reasonable. The shop has a cozy, welcoming vibe, making it a great spot to grab a treat. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Best donuts in town! Great service, super friendly owners, the apple fritters are amazing

The cake donuts are to die for. Tim Horton who?? Special agent dale cooper himself would be singing a tune for these.

The donuts here are very pricey for a mom and pop shop, and they weren't as airy and fluffy to what I'm used to. I'm still in search of the best glazed donuts in town! read more

You know, we've got to stop reading Facebook posts about Donut Shops! Just Kidding. We've heard about Pam's and how good the donuts are, so we had to come see for ourselves. We were not disappointed. We will be back. There were a few donuts we wanted to try, but they were already out. That just means we will be back! read more

On a quest for glazed buttermilk donuts today. After my wife mentioned her failed attempt at Spudnuts for buttermilk yesterday (door locked and out of donuts), l went on the lookout, a bit later then I had planned, hopefully with better results today. Of course Spudnuts was my first stop, always great donuts but by late morning usually not much available. I had planned to get out earlier but sometimes retired life makes you bed hug well into the morning. But they did have 2 buttermilk, one even glazed with maple. I also ordered 4 regular glazed donuts and a hot chocolate; but my quest continued. But I also remembered Pam's Donuts just down the street. Next door to Thai Chefs, one of my favorite area Thai spots but strangely, I hadn't been to Pam's for donuts other than once shortly after moving to the area which was back in 2006. So making my way the short distance down Seco Canyon, I pulled into the lot and stepping into Pam's, BAM! A veritable smorgasbord of donuts in large quantities and every variety anyone could ever hope for. But on first scanning I didn't see the buttermilks. So I asked the proprietor who had been in the back but was now offering to help. And low and behold, a full tray of glazed buttermilks I somehow overlooked. And we're talking right around the noon hour when many other donut shops are displaying near empty glass cases. Requesting 4 and getting them back home...fresh and delicious! I'll definitely be heading to Pam's Donuts again. read more

Best go to donut place. I have been waiting for the owner to get better so I can come and support. Really missed this place.

By far, the freshest donut I've ever had in my life. Soft, sweet, tasty. Cash only. And the register looks like it's been here since they opened. But it adds character. Give them a try! read more

I've been a customer of Pam's for years. Like many businesses, they are struggling through this pandemic, but Anita still has a smile in her eyes and a friendly greeting every time I go there. Many shops are cutting down selection or quantity of product, but they always have full cases and a full assortment of flavors. My personal recommendation is their apple fritter and the buttermilk bars. Family operations always preferred by me over chains or franchises. Give them a try! read more

Donuts are great but the ham and cheese croissants are outta this world. I order them every time I go camping and take them with me for a quick and easy delicious breakfast for the family. I have had family in from out of town and they specifically request that we go to Pam's donuts. Love Anita she is one of a kind. read more

YUM. That's all you need to know. Yum. Clean. Friendly. Donuts on point. Obsessed with apple fritters like me? You'll be a happy camper if you go to Pams. read more

Pam's Donuts & Ice Cream - Apple Fritter - Donuts Near Me - Saugus, California

Donuts are always fresh! Service is always great! Such a community staple. So glad it's back and running.

Disappointed to say the least. Bring cash or use their ATM and get overcharged for using it. The service is subpar. And most importantly, the donuts are awful, but be prepared to pay premium price for old donuts. 18 bucks for a dozen. Be better Pam! read more

Pretty good donuts here..they're fresh, big and fluffy. I like how the donuts are not too sweet like other donut shops. We went on a Sunday morning around 9am. We got a dozen donuts for $15. One time they gave us a baker's dozen with 13. I guess it depends on who is behind the counter. This place is also cash only, but there is an ATM inside. read more

Ok here's the situation... It's getting late (for bakeries) on a Friday night.. about 7pm and I need some donuts ASAP! I hit up my Yelp app for guidance to double check business times of my go to donut joint. It appeared I am in luck and some spots are open. Well not so fast. Yeap apparently some of the donut shops in my area need some updating, luckily Pam's in fact open as listed. I follow my fellow Yelper's advice and head over to Pam's Donuts & Ice Cream to grab my needed dozen. Selection at night wasn't bad and donuts looked good. A dozen was only $10 so that was nice. The woman behind the counter [Pam?] was nice and eager to get my dozen filled, she even threw in some specialty (larger) donuts and muffins in for the same price - sweet!. I hit a bit of a speed bump when I went to pay. Whoops - CASH ONLY. Only a speed bump tho, she pointed me to the ATM inside. It had to be booted up from being turned off so I waited about 5 minutes. Funny thing though, as I waited in the corner she hollered at me "I'm giving you two more" and placed two more donuts in my box. It was taking a little longer than I think she anticipated so she once again announced "ok, I give you two more" (and they were specialty ones!!). Welll thank you very much! Either she felt bad for me having to wait, or she was dumping the late in the day surplus of donuts on me to make way for the morning replenish. Either way I was winning. Got my cash money and finished the transaction. Donuts here were fairly good. Not overly greasy like some chain places around here. I appreciate the friendly and generous customer service so I will be back. Oh and I happen to have a slight fixation for donut / ice cream in one shops. There's just all kinds of fun happening in there. Parking is a bit sketchy. The strip mall is very busy with a popular restaurant, so be warned. read more

Pam's Donuts & Ice Cream - Came for 12 she gave me 16! Nice. - Donuts Near Me - Saugus, California

Greatest service every time. We love coming here donuts are always delicious, love the taro smoothie too.

We've lived in SCV since 1998, and Pam's is our favorite donut place. The same nice family has owned it the whole time, the donuts are fresh, and their apple fritters can't be beat! read more

I was craving a glazed donut and decides to try this place out. It was one of the best donuts I've ever had! They are a little pricer than other but honestly kind of worth it. read more

Okay, so i realized my other review was rather simplified. i wanted to update cause i fell in love with another one of their items!! HAM and cheese croissants! Cream cheese croissants! French cruller's Apple Fritter's Hot chocolate with extra Whip! -are ALL SO Delicious!! mMm usually come here mornings when i can, but afternoon's are good too! best to come earlier for better selection since they get rather crowded and their more popular doughnuts sell out more quickly! Family owned establishment, all friendly. even the kid, some ppl may say he's rude but he's just naturally mellow. a friend of mine went to school with him and he;s always mellow. lol so that explains it! hes not rude just mellow. read more

This shop is on the opposite side of this valley from my home, but I was on that side and we decided to try it even though it was late in the day. Pretty good selection and friendly service. Prices seemed right where they should be. I would definitely come in for a visit again if close by. read more

Best Donuts in SCV hands down. Sweetest owners, this amazing Asian family, so warm and welcoming, this place is the best for donuts. It looks like a hole in the wall but worth every penny, I'm here almost daily. Cash only FYI. read more

Not only are the donuts yummy, but the thai tea is the best! I don't like thai tea at other places because it's too sweet. Pam is a joy and puts a smile on everyone's faces. Make sure to get a boston cream before they run out--they go fast. :( I love this place! read more

I would say this is your average joe donut shop. Donuts are good but not amazing. One thing though. Cash only? Business is lost in the past with cash only. Not even cards are improvement. Everything is digital. Need to get with the times. read more

At first the guy told me 8.75 for a dozen doughnuts and I had no cash on hand so I pulled out a 20 dollar bill and all of a sudden the price rose to 18.75! Such a rip off! Confronted the guy and he played dumb like he couldn't speak English! Even tho it was fluent during my purchase read more

Firstly, I actually like Pams donuts, when they are available, I will get to that later. The lady is friendly and the donuts are tasty when i m off my diet and in the mood for one. My kids love the milkshakes and the other day I had a Mango Boba, it was pretty good. It wasn't the best I've had but it sure wasn't the worst. First; cash only....In this era that's just dumb. We all know why they do it...hellooooooo IRS. Second; this place could use a good cleaning ...broken tiles, dust on counter and clutter everywhere. Third; this is my biggest pet peeve with this place. I get up at zero dark thirty. If I stop by Pams at 5 am or 5:30 am..the selection is sparse. Want a maple bar...oh they dont have them yet...hmmmm bear claw..nope....when will they be ready at 10? because its morning and its time to sell some donuts. When I grew up my neighbors owned 2 donut shops. They started making donuts at 3 or 3:30 am....you know why? In order to fill that case when people started coming in at 5am. That's just good business. Let's fill that case give our customers a good selection and move some donuts people. Each time I stop by early to grab a dozen for work I always wonder why the donuts are not ready yet. Good donuts but the selection will be limited if its early. read more

My wife was craving an old fashioned maple donut. Upon calling around, Pam answered and said she would make on for us. I was ecstatic & my wife loved every bite! I'm impressed that Pam went the extra mile for the sale & I will continue to support this donut shop. Thank you Pam read more

Best Thai tea & boba in SCV! Donuts are so fresh & delicious. The tea is long brewed & the boba has great texture. Great filling ratio on filled donuts. Old fashioned is perfected! Love supporting local family-owned and operated business! read more

Typical mom and pop selection of doughnuts with a few extra items (scones, muffins, croissants, ice cream and lotto tickets) but with great service. My go to place whenever I am craving a doughnut. Place gets packed on the weekend so you gotta get there a little early if you want your pick of the litter. read more

Came back in early on a Saturday morning after dropping my dad off at the airport. It was just before 8am and the placed was packed. I got worried because there weren't many donuts in the case and I only saw 2 chocolate donuts left and there were 6 people in front of me. The line continued to grow behind me and my only complaint is that I actually had to ask the people in front of me to move forward so the line didn't have to go out the door. Why people feel the need to stand 5 feet away from each other in a line is incomprehensible to me anyhow. People of Saugus: get a clue. Just before it was my turn to order a new tray of donuts was carried out with chocolate and sugar donuts on it. I misspoke in my last review - today's donuts were the freshest I have ever had. They literally melted in my mouth! Pam's is THE place for donuts. They also serve Thrifty Ice Cream which is my personal favorite. I'm not sure why you're still reading this and not heading directly to Pam's for a sugar fix. And you thought Krispy Kreme was good... read more

I love coming here. I've never once had a bad experience. This place has been here for MANY years now, and my go-to used to be their cinnamon roll with a chocolate milk. Now, I get their twisted one with chocolate chips on it - with an apple juice or something. They're very nice and patient here. This place is great for when you need to buy a dozen, etc. and I hope this place is here for many more years to come. read more

Num. Num. Num! Super delish donuts and pastries! Pam's Donuts has been around for years! They sell LOTTO, ice cream, coffee and nummy donuts. My husband loves the ham and cheese croissant and Martinelli's apple juice in the glass jar. Pricing is good! Staff is nice and friendly! If you are ever near the corner of Seco and Copperhill, I highly recommend! read more

I've been to many donut shops and their donuts all seem to be just okay. After seeing 5 stars on Yelp for Pam's Donuts we had to try them out. They are the BEST donuts by far!! Next time we are in town, we are heading to Pam's Donuts...5 stars. Yum!! read more
