I really like their blueberry donuts here. The lady who works behind the counter is SUPER sweet and nice. When my niece had to use the restroom, she let her use the restroom, even though they usually don't let customers use the bathroom. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is in the area. Open 24 hours. read more

French Cruller donuts are one of my favorites and this places carries them. This place has been bookmarked! This place has a nice selection of donuts. Since they have French Crullers, this place has the usual variety of donuts that one would seek out. The woman behind the counter was helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend this donut place when you're in the area. I enjoyed my French Crullers on this visit and hope to be in the area in the near future. read more

Rainbow Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

4 stars! In the interest of full disclosure, I am totally sober, it's 3:10AM as I write this and once again, totally sober. The only substances I am currently high on are sugar, dough and blueberries. I came down here on a recommendation of another Yelper while contemplating a late night run to M+M Donuts in Anaheim. Well, not really wanting to wait 2 hours in line, I checked out this small Cerritos location. They are within 2 miles from home, and I hear there are no obscene waits to be had. Plus, they are 24 hours! If I had a craving for donuts during normal business hours (why would that happen?) then I actually can GO. I rolled in here just before 3AM and ordered a dozen of blueberry donuts and asked about the tiger tails. I was informed that they were currently out of tiger tails. D'oh! As a consolation, the man at the counter threw in an extra blueberry donut. SCORE! I get home, taking care to dodge the surprising number of skaters, fellow motorists and neighbor kids making out in the condo complex along the way and open the box of donuts. I notice they look shockingly similar to the ones from M+M. They however aren't hot and fresh as the ones from M+M. I suppose that would just be chance. The Rainbow Blueberries however are still crispy on the outside and soft and cake-y in the middle. They taste great and slightly glazier than the M+M ones (from what I remember anyway). I really, really enjoyed these ones and I am GLAD that YELP was able to help me find a local place that is ABSOLUTELY comparable to M+M every way and superior in terms of wait time. There are no kids hanging around outside either talking about how high school is so important either. Another plus. I'll be back for tiger tails! read more

Looks like I'm going to be the dissenting voice here. I've stopped by a couple of times to get my post lunch sugar fix and have been completely disappointed each time. Rainbow Donuts is located in a small strip mall on South Street and Pioneer Blvd with lots of parking in front. At around 2 p.m. the place has always been empty save the old gentleman behind the counter. I've tried their regular, glazed, chocolate iced, cream filled and cake based donuts along with their chocolate bars over a period of time. Price wise these are pretty cheap at 85c a pop. The reason for the one star is that all the donuts that I have got have been stale. Over five visits not once did I get produce that was even remotely fresh. I'm not sure if this is related to the timing of my visit, but there is nothing fresh available in the afternoons. Some donuts like the cream filled ones seemed to have been a couple of days old as the cream filling had started to turn sour. The cake based ones seemed to be weeks old as they had the dry crumbly texture that you get when cake dries out. The regular, glazed and chocolate iced donuts were simply one of the worst donuts that I've had. My recommendation for donuts around Cerritos would be B&B Donuts on Artesia and Norwalk in the same plaza that houses Cho Dang Tofu house which I would recommend over Rainbow donuts any day. read more

I was on the search for French Crullers a couple of weekends ago. Happily, I found a Chocolate French Cruller at this little donut shop. Purchased one of them plus a Green Tea donut. Also, bought a Lotto ticket as well. Chocolate French Cruller was average. Tasted almost a day old. Did not satisfy my craving at all. (2.5 stars) Green Tea Donut was mediocre. I had the cake donut version. I probably would not order it again. (2.5 stars) On a more positive note, the service was good and friendly. Prices were affordable as well. Because of those reasons, I may return from time to time. read more

So I love apple fritters, my all time favorite. They make some of the best apple fritters I've had. I love the crispy edges with the soft middles. So when I had a special event I requested a special order of a couple XL fritters. They obliged with with two monster fritters (4XL) that were absolutely perfect (See posted photo). The crispy outsides were even better than the normal sized ones and had just the right amount of icing. Their other donuts are delicious as well and not too heavy or too light. Just right. The blueberry donuts are unique and tasty. Definitely better than any other shops in the area. read more

Rainbow Donuts - The 4X Fritter! Custom made for my event. Even more delicious than the normal sized one because it has more crispy parts! - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Blueberry Cake Donuts - ZOMG so yummy. The perfect love child between a blueberry muffin and a glazed donut. You really get a lot of blueberries in each bite and the cake is moist with just the right amount of glaze. Jalapeno Ham & Cheese Croissant - flakey croissant dough filled with the right amount of swiss cheese and ham. The jalapeno gives this croissant a some nice heat, and I love heat. Overall the donuts are fresh and the glaze sets perfectly, you don't go home with a box of donuts and find all the glaze has come off your donuts and melded together into one giant blob. PLUS - open 24hs which is RARE in the ultra conservative suburb of Cerritos. Yay, diabetes whenever I want it. read more

Finally, I can get blueberry donuts nearby without having to wait for an hour, deal with annoying crowds, or unfriendly owners. Yes, I'm giving the middle finger to M&M. This place isn't anything fancy, but then again, most donut shops aren't. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between this place and M&M. The latter was maybe slightly better only because I happen to get them fresh. I will be back here in the morning to see how they taste when they're fresh. The lady at the shop told me they make fresh donuts three times a day - 7am, 11pm, and the other I forget. I also tried the tiger tails. They were still very soft even though they weren't fresh at the time I got them. I'm just not a big fan of tiger tails so I can't really say much. I think for someone that likes these, they are probably pretty damn good. This place is open 24 hours so you never have to wait in long lines for blueberry donuts. It's $8/dozen and $0.80 each. read more

This place is consistent!! Delicious donuts for a decent price. I love ordering a dozen from them to bring to the office (pre-covid). Traditional cake donuts are my favorite! read more

Rainbow Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Small donut shop, saw their matcha promotion so I ended up stopping by! It is easy to miss! The "Rainbow" is kind of small compared to the rest so look for donut deli! It is in the middle of the building of shops and such. The workers are REALLY nice. very friendly, which i really appreciate. oddly enough, especially in donut shops like these because it makes you wanna actually have a nice day after getting a morning (or afternoon, or evening) donut! I ended up getting the Matcha donut with oreos on top. Me personally, I liked the parts of the donuts that had simple oreo crumbs and not the huge chunks better. You can actually taste the matcha and its delicious! But yeah, they are generous with the topping for it so its a good thing! Next time I might try their coconut one. In general it was pretty good, nice sweet and fluffy. The other one I got was the blueberry. I can't really comment on it because I sort of forgot I had it and didnt eat it till the next day. The taste was still good though! I like this place. If I am in the area I think i would stop by again just for their matcha donut (don't really see that anywhere else) read more

Rainbow Donuts - Matcha donut with Oreos (blueberry in the background) - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

My one of my local donut shops that I love to visit when I want a sweet late night treat. The lady that runs it during the evening is really nice and sweet. The donuts there are solid normal donuts that you can find anywhere. So the customer service is what stands out. There are lots of choices of drinks and snacks to choose from. Along with the baked goods, I'm sure you'll find what you need to get you moving through the morning or to satisfy you late night craving. I believe she even does lotto. There are a coupe of tables to sit and enjoy your snack. Although I rarely see anyone there sitting. Lots of people and even happen in this plaza so you see some people hanging outside talking or smoking/vaping. Pretty safe area. Haven't heard of anything dangerous in a very long time here so it's settled down quite a lot. Share parking with other businesses so there should be plenty of space to park. This is basically a 3 star place, nothing out of the ordinary. I just really like the lady/owner that I always see. Very nice a helpful. I usually visit at night, so I'm not sure of how busy it get through the day. read more

Rainbow donuts lives up to the rainbow name as the place has an assortment of color ful donuts. However, customer service was mediocre as I felt very rushed on a Wednesday morning by the server while I was trying to pick my dozen and there was only one other person there being served besides me. It was my first time there and I couldn't decide between which matcha donut I wanted to complete my dozen so i can bring it in to work. I don't usually like donuts, but since this place had matcha I thought I would try it and it was ok not too sweet jus right. People at the office loved it! If you like Matcha this is the place to try it out! I jus wished the person be hind the counter was a bit livelier and i can understand its early as I went at 6am, but a good morning wouldn't hurt. I would have given this place four stars if it wasn't the customer service. read more

My wife and I were craving donuts after our dinner and we didn't want to drive far. At first we were skeptical because usually donut shops that are 24 hours have low stock of what we want and have less variety. This place was no exception but we decided to stay and order donuts anyways. When we first entered, the first thing I noticed was how dirty the floors were. There was only one guy manning the shop and he was rude. He kept rushing us to pick donuts and that was annoying my wife. We took our time to pick because we were the only ones at the donut shop and was confused on why he was rushing us. All of the donuts were over glazed and sugary. A dozen cost $9 and he threw in an extra one for free. Overall, if you are craving donuts and don't care where you get it go here. Otherwise go take the time to drive to a good donut place. read more

Rainbow Donuts - Wife and donuts. Poor arrangement. - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Went there twice in the last week. I did not try the blueberry donuts since I'm not much for donuts (Parents had a donut shop for 23 years. I practically lived there as a kid) but I needed breakfast on the go. I tried the ham & cheese croissant, the jalapeno ham & cheese croissant, and the egg croissant (on a tray atop the donut display), a regular coffee, and a "gourmet" hazelnut coffee. Aside from the coffees, all of the above items contained a white liquid "cheese" I really wish wasn't there. However, the 2 types of ham & cheese croissants were fine. They were what you'd expect at a mom & pop's shop. The coffees were fine but I preferred the gourmet coffee (located on the service counter) over the regular brewed coffee. The breakfast egg croissant was decent and I'd go back for it if I were in a bind for a quick morning bite. The actual place looks like it has an interior created circa 1970's and it has a modest ATM machine and a wall of lottery fame, on which the winning lottery tickets sold there have been posted. The latter is a pretty interesting add. According to the owner's brother, who was working behind the counter during both of my visits, the shop is open 24 hours a day and the owner has run the place for over 20 years. read more

From the outside it looks like a standard donut shop, ok also when you walk in. But take a closer look - this place has some fun flavors! They do a few variations of green tea donuts. They also have the popular blueberry donut, but also a few they've added blueberry frosting to. read more

I was picking up boba next door and my little one wanted a donut. So, I walked in. I didn't have cash on me and was going to use my credit card. My family had a small business and I know CC is not preferred especially for small sums. I felt really bad so I picked up extra donuts and asked for some scratchers (which I NEVER buy). The lady gave me my total and when I was was trying to pay she said it's CASH ONLY for the scratchers. I told her I was sorry I didn't have cash and I'd only take the donuts then. She straight up got mad at me and started giving me attitude. Terrible customer service.. This was my 1st time here and it'll also be my LAST time . read more

I've bought donuts from here at various times of the day and I always get fresh tasting ones. Oreos are my favorite!

The person was rude as soon as I tried to order, when my brother came here he was also treated poorly. Not saying it's because of our color but I've seen them treat other customers much better. read more

We built a donut wall for a birthday party and bought several types of donuts from Rainbow Donuts. The absolute hit was the maple bacon. It was SO yummy and gone super fast, as well as the unicorn donut. The green tea was a little bitter by itself so we asked for crushed Oreos on top. The flavor combo was great! Our donut wall was a hit and people were raving about the donuts and kept asking where we bought them. read more

One word: fluff-daddy! These donuts are so fluffy, like biting into a cloud or perhaps a rainbow. These are exquisitely freshly hand made donuts. Not made in a central location then delivered nor made by robots. Not too sweet not too greasy, just perfect. read more

been going to the donut spot since I was a kid very nice owners and fresh donuts also a good place to buy lotto and scratches

Had a horrible experience here this morning with my family. It was our first donut outing in a long while and our first time visiting this shop. We were generally confused about pricing because we wanted to try the specialty donuts and also the regular donuts which were part of the dozen special. I am sure there was miscommunication and misunderstanding abput pricing on both our ends. But, what was beyond irking was the older lady (probably owner?) basically yelling at me, that I am asking the same question three times. Really? I can't ask how I am being charged? I can't ask for clarification when the explanation doesn't make sense? Ultimately, a different person working there helped us and we found out the lady overcharged us by "accidentally" pressing some lottery button on the cash register. While they refunded that money back to us, it was a distasteful experience. I note that I did not receive a single apology from anyone working there; not even a sorry for the "accidental" overcharge. I didn't come here looking for top notch customer service but it would be nice to afford your customers a basic level of respect. read more

alright so i LOVED their blueberry donuts. But just recently, btw this is NO joke. One of my coworkers came by here for a Ham and Cheese Croissant. And holy moly, im warning you this is a TRUE STORY. So while eating his croissant, he thought it tasted a little wierd, but too hungry to care, and after taking another three more bites, he looked down and saw MAGGOTS INSIDE his ham and cheese!!! I pass by this place all the time. in love with their blueberry donuts, but this really threw me over the edge. I will not be coming here for awhile. Problem with this place is being open 24 hours, not all the items are fresh. So most likely this ham&cheese has been there for quite sometime. If you ever come by here youve been warned, only trust their fresh blueberry donuts or whatever they say just came out of the oven. Otherwise, come at your own risk. read more

Me and the nice Asian man who runs this establishment have something of an understanding. When I walk in, the little door bell chimes, which prompts him to emerge from the back. I say: "One blueberry donut"--"ONLY WUN?" he asks/shouts. I think about about it for a second. Then another second. Then I just sigh and say, "Alright, give me half a dozen." Sometimes, he'll throw in an extra for free, which makes seven donuts. And I will eat them ALL. And then cry--mixed tears of joy/self-hate. Curse you, donut man. How do you see through my pretenses? How do you know me so well!!!???? To be honest, I haven't really bothered with any other item, because the blueberry donut is just that good. There's nothing particularly special about it, except it's just a darn good, tasty donut: not too sweet, nice chewy, cakey texture, and a slight crisp from the glaze. Yes, the blueberries are of the artificial sort, but strangely enough, I LIKE that artificial blueberry taste. Huh. Open 24 hours; yummy blueberry donuts; less than a buck. Do it. read more

I visited Rainbow Donuts earlier this week for the first time because I had a case of insomnia and figured I might as well go to work early. I did a quick Yelp search and found that Rainbow Donuts was open at 4am, so I figured I swing by on the way to work and grab a blueberry donut and a coffee. According to the receipt that I received, I was only customer #2 for the day--customer #1 was still seated in the shop and looked a bit of a weirdo. Nonetheless, I wasn't deterred and the owner yelled a greeting to me as he was re-racking a fresh batch of donuts in the back. I went ahead and ordered a blueberry donut hot off the fryer along with a medium coffee. I glanced over to the left of the register, and noticed a big laughing golden Buddha statue. I couldn't help but think that many people who come to donut shops may, over time, take on the shape of that laughing Buddha. The owner first served up the coffee. The regular coffee, unfortunately was standard and looked like the same crappy coffee I get at work. The blueberry donut, however, was really good. The texture was soft and pretty much melts as you bite into it. The owner didn't overdo it with the glazing, so it provided enough sweetness, but relied mainly on the blueberries themselves to provide most of the sugariness. If you alternate bites of blueberry donut with the standard Farmer Brothers coffee, then it elevates the standard coffee by having it serve as a direct contract to the sugary blueberry flavor. I had to take the donut and coffee back into my car in the parking lot and enjoy them there, since I didn't want to be in the shop with Customer #1 there quietly talking to himself and for some unexplained reason eating KFC leftovers at 4am at a non-KFC establishment. Now, I'm a lifelong fan of the hallowed Goody's Donut in Cerritos, but even my go-to donut shop doesn't make a mean blueberry donut like Rainbow does. And, though it may not have originated it or started the blueberry donut craze (I would attribute that to M&M Donuts in Anaheim), for the convenience of being in Cerritos and close to the 605 freeway, Rainbow is a great value for people in the area. My only suggestion is that they consider removing the credit card surcharge here. It's the one deterrent that prevents me from visiting this, and many other privately owned, donut shops, as more and more people carry less and less cash. read more

Not a HUGE fan of the blueberry doughnut, but I decided to try em here after having them fresh at M&M This place, like many others pretty much use the same doughnut mix. The only reason why people lean towards M&M more is because they are 'fresh out the fryer' making them warm and bursting with oil the minute you sink your teeth into one. Like enjoy the blueberry doughnuts here better for the reason that they have had time to sit and set after being fried and all the excess oil and drip and dry leaving a cake doughnut CAKEY (as a cake doughnut should be) and not mushy with oil. Unfortunately the blueberries in these doughnuts aren't fresh blueberries, but instead packed with artificial blueberry flavor. OVERALL: This would probably be my place to go if I ever decided to have one of these again. Like I always say, YOU WON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!! read more
