I was looking for a donut shop where I could get a ham and cheese croissant while in the Cerritos area and stumbled upon Rainbow Donut. They have a huge selection of donuts, including specialty items like cronuts and mochi donuts. Everything looked so fresh and fluffy. I really wanted to try some, but I'm trying to cut back on sugar and was already drinking a latte, so I resisted. It took a lot of self-control not to get any! I ended up getting what I came for, a jalapeño ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was huge and kept me full for hours. It tasted freshly made and was soft yet still flaky, just how a croissant should be. Most donut shops nowadays don't seem to make their croissants as flaky. It was also generously filled with ham. Again, a lot of places I've been to lately are pretty stingy with the filling. The croissant was delicious, and I would definitely order it again. One day I'll have to come back and try the donuts. They also have tables inside if you'd like to dine in. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the customer service was good. read more

I came in later in the day but there were lots of options still available. I ended up getting a few donuts but the tiramisu donut was honestly my favorite! Service was fast and he had my donuts packed up quickly. There's also a lot of parking. read more

Rainbow Donuts - Tiramisu Donut - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

A hidden gem in Cerritos for donuts and drinks. They have a wide selection of donuts, as well as mochi donuts and other pastries. They also sell juices and canned drinks in the fridge. I typically get their honeydew slush and mango slush. I love the icy texture which adds a nice crunch. The mochi donuts have a chewy texture and prominent flavors. Service is nice and they have both indoor and outdoor seating (shared with Gong Cha next door). Plenty of parking in the plaza as well. read more

I stopped by to pick up half a dozen donuts and almost had a hard time choosing what to get. There were so many cute designs and flavors to choose from! There's a mix of your classic donuts, and creative ones such as different cereal flavors. I also picked up a mochi donut and I enjoyed how soft it was. I ordered the Jalapeño Ham and Cheese Croissant to have for lunch the following day and it was delicious. I appreciate how late Rainbow Donuts closes at midnight and that was the main reason why I stopped by! I will definitely be coming back again. read more

My family loves their yellow cake, in the self-serve pastry case on the side wall. But why does their menu say sandwiches served all day until 10:30, but "we already closed" when I ask for one at 10:15? (Store doesn't close until midnight.) (One of my pet peeves, when workers clean up early before the advertised last call, especially if we drove across town to get there.) read more

This place opens early so its perfect for anyone with an earl work shift or road trip and would like to donuts for the road. They had cute little donuts that had Christmas designs on it. Their coffee tasted okay as well. Great service, friendly and quick read more

Rainbow Donuts Assemble (ish) This barely made my Avengers assemble theme of yelp reviews...barely...bare-ly Okay so... the hype for this place is basically Avengers-level. people talk about it like it's the Infinity Gauntlet of donuts. But honestly? It's more like... Ant-Man. It's fun, it's solid, but it's not exactly changing the timeline. And falls a bit short (bad pun) The creativity is def there. They have a ton of different options and flares - kinda like the Multiverse of Madness, just lots of variety. Visually they look awesome. But here is the thing. * The Icing: It felt a little thin to me. I was expecting a Hulk smash of flavor, but it was a bit weak. * The Dough: Good, but I've had better. * The Vibe: creative twists are cool but the execution is just... okay. On the bright side, the location is great and parking was actually easy (which is a superpower in itself). Overall - it's a solid spot. 3.5 stars, but not Starlord stars. Just lower your expectations a tiny bit so you aren't disappointed it's not Endgame. Still worth a stop though. read more

Since the the change under new ownership, I haven't been in. Only at the time it was still being switched over. I came in this morning after my 5am kickboxing class. Decided to go pick up a dozen for the house. The place has since changed inside I like it. New tables and chairs, other pastry options along the wall, annnd they have cute milk tea in bear bottles. I love the new *pink box*. It's very kawaii. I gotta come back when when the display is filled with more donuts. read more

Love this place!! They have incredible service, always very friendly and patient (I'm indecisive). Excellent variety of donuts, from more basic glazed or twists to very extravagant and novelty selections. I personally am a huge fan of their mochi donuts! The inside is welcoming and pretty roomy with plenty of seating as well. I like that they have vibrant branding on their packaging and the boxes are durable. Highly recommend you check them out, they won't disappoint. read more

Today is a very special day!! The most special day of the year to celebrate a joyous occasion!! So naturally, I had to go to a really, really good donut shop.

Came here randomly with my BFF because she was craving donuts. She ordered a blueberry and jelly donut. She said that the donuts were good. The jelly donut was not too sweet and fulfilled her sweet tooth for the day. For the blueberry donut, although slightly sweeter, the cake donut was not dry but moist. They also sold scratchers . I tried my luck and won back more than half my money back. My BFF did buy some but unfortunately didn't win anything. There are seats inside for you to enjoy your snacks and/or drink. They had a wide variety of snacks such as unique donuts, regular donuts, croissants, bagels, and muffins. Drinks they had fresh pressed juices, smoothies, coffee, lattes, teas, and espressos (coming soon). The employee there was nice. It was quiet in there but one other customer probably because it was a Sunday night. They're located in a plaza. No restrooms. They have parking spaces specifically for the donut shop. read more

We were drawn for the scratchers not the donut although the donut looks good... but this young lady behind the counter didn't seem to happy with her job, not cordial, not smiling and when I had my scratchers checked for any winning, told me, "next time ,separate it". She wasn't busy and there were four of us doing the scratcher versus one customer who bought donuts. Lol . Please make this lady happy and give her a reason to smile ( not grumpy behind the counter)... btw no more next time, we were just passing by ! Cheers! read more

Full 5 STARS This used to be a different owner I believed I used to come to this place and the donuts weren't really that great This time this place is fully upgraded new owner,baker and interior revamped. So many selections of donut place in Cerritos but this place has now became my Favorite. Their donuts and breads are amazing very good quality and properly baked to perfection. Very reasonable prices I believed cheaper than you would get from expensive branded Donuts. Coffee and Matchas are very good too. If I can try all of it in one day I would. You wouldn't be disappointed with the quality of food they offer. The workers are very nice and friendly also. read more

Love this place the food is always delicious and fresh and the staff are always very helpful and friendly and smiling.

Posting this after eating my other half. We have been looking for a yummy place with croissants or bagels for breakfast and this is the best one we've ever had! Just found our saturday morning spot :) And everyone is so sweet read more

Rainbow Donuts - #7. Bacon Egg Cheese Avocado - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Love everything about this place! Donuts - perfectly soft and chewy. Bagels - SO GOOD!!! If you're used to very dense bagels, this isn't the place for you. The bagels are soft and more lightly doughy- can't explain it. But it's freshly baked in the morning and delicious. The asiago and jalapeño are my favorites. The mochi donuts are also really good too. Nothing is overly sweet and it's just nicely balanced. Everyone is also really nice everytime I've gone. I love going there for my weekend cravings. read more

Wish I got more! Their mochi donuts are some of the best I've ever had. Chewy, springy, not at all oily, and appropriately sweet. My favorite was the crème brûlée mochi donuts (not pictured because I ate it before the camera had a chance) that had the perfect crispy/crunchy glaze to donut ratio. Another worthy mention is their blueberry donut which is where the best blueberry muffin meets the best donut. Overall, I love this place! The staff is sweet and the shop is homey. Every time I'm in town, I always stop by for my fix. read more

Rainbow Donuts continues to create new and better tasting pastries. It's now more than just a donut shop because of all their new creations. The girl behind the counter is always so polite and courteous. Today I decided to try one of their Cronuts. Rainbow Donuts is definitely worth the trip, wherever you're coming from. read more

I s seen many a people enjoying the warmth and reading material they have too. read more

Great doughnuts and the service was fast and efficient and all around a good experience for Sunday morning doughnuts with my boys.

Wanted to try a different spot and ended up here. Plenty choices, original and special donuts on display. I thoroughly enjoyed the green tea donut while family and friends tried the rest. Very soft and fluffy on the inside and just the right amount of flavor on the glazed part. We came in the morning so aside from donuts, parking was also easily accessible. read more

Decided to take my grandchild on a late donut date. Rainbow Donuts was the only place open at the time. They have a variety of donut flavors as well as some specialty donuts, like cereal flavors. I ordered a dozen, but only had the glaze. I thought it was a good delicious donut. I enjoyed it. I'll definitely come back. read more

Customer Service - 0 Stars. It is just awful. Cleanliness - 0 Stars. Very dirty on the outside, and too many homeless people made their home around the building. Food- 3 Stars. Food is decent, but they don't take any phone orders or any premade orders. It's a business that needs new employees, cleaning, a new look, and upgraded technology. read more

Best donut shop in the area ! Donuts are so yummy and fresh all day and they have the best sandwiches. They also just added mochi donuts which is amazing read more

Amazing donuts, and fun environment! The owner is very kind and helpful! Great service I highly recommend!

Donuts here are very good and affordable. This place is under new ownership and they have new items on the menu such as mochi donuts! Super yummy. Their donuts are bigger than mochinuts, not as soft but I still enjoy them very very much. I go here once a week for these mochi donuts read more

I'm a fan of Rainbow Donuts. Not only do they have a wide-variety of options, they have a good amount of specialty flavors (green tea, blueberry, cereal toppings, etc.) in addition to the classic cake, glazed, risen, and more. The case is a little more robust with offerings if you go earlier in the day, but even mid-week at night, there's still a good amount to choose from. Faves for me were the maple bar and chocolate cake with sprinkles. The maple was light and airy while still giving me that dose of sugar I was needing in my life, while the chocolate was super moist and rich in flavor until the very end. They sell a variety of other things and lotto tickets seem to be popular here. The guy helping me was nice and straight to the point. It's a great local spot and I'll continue to come back and support when I'm needing a donut fix. Note: They charge $1 if you're using a credit card and your total is less than $10. read more

I have the sweetest tooth that hits every once in a while. I must have passed this little shop thousands of times on my way to work, I've never stopped before because I would be super late for work. Since I've been working from home this past year, I also didn't get many chances to pop by. But with more salons and grooming services reopening, this was the logical next stop. There were a lot of delectable donuts and I got only 4: 1. my all time favorite is an apple fritter - a lot of cinnamon and allspice in the fritter and it kept its crunchy texture overnight 2. Simple is best : a glazed donut -tasted fresh and still soft like freshly made, even the morning after 3. Tiger tail : a cinnamon twist donut 4. Old fashioned glazed - I do like being able to break off pieces without too many crumbs all over And since they can : I saw matcha glazed and maple bacon glazed ones. read more

The employee assisting us was not very friendly and the donut was not good. It tasted stale and I won't ever go there again.

Since I moved to the area 2 years ago, this has been my go-to donut shop. It was pretty good, but now under new ownership it has gotten better. The new owner is nice and the donuts are excellent... I'd even go as far as saying 2x better than previous. I think the prices may have gone up just a little, but it appears the quality has also gone up. Despite these points, there is one huge glaring (or should I say glazing) issue! Now I'm never going to lose weight read more

I thought I had seen every kind of doughnut before, but this place had several that I hadn't seen so we tried them and oh my gosh so amazing so fresh so delicious. read more

Super tiny local Donut shop on South street with a super big lotto selection. That is what brought me in. Donuts are good, just not fancy. Years ago they were known for their Blueberry donuts during that blueberry Craze. But now, The Tiger Tails are the winning ticket here. At night there is not a huge selection, but there are enough to make you smile. Service is awesome. The lady here is very nice. Thumbs up to her. read more
