We rolled into Rainbow Donuts looking for a little snack and left questioning why we didn't show up earlier today (more choices in the morning). Our 3rd time here. The selection was slim (hey, it was late!), but what they lacked in variety they made up for in donut real estate!! These things were the size of your regrets after skipping breakfast!! My daughter went rogue w a raspberry twist, and I dove into a maple glazed masterpiece. Sweet, glorious donut bliss!! These donuts were still fresh & delish!! Would we go back? We always do!! But next time, I'm setting an alarm... those beauties probably fly off the shelves faster than I can ask for extra napkins.

Enjoying my favorite doughnut, which is a chocolate chip bar with water and passing time with lottery scratchers.

Please support local businesses! The food service and ambience is amazing and I wanna make them very clear before I dive into the details. Rainbow Donuts in West Covina is the kind of place that makes you feel like home the second you walk in. The donuts are always fresh, no matter the hour, which is why this shop has become a true local favorite. I've been coming here my whole life and it never disappoints. One of my favorite details is that I can still find my grandparents here every single week. They're proof that Rainbow Donuts isn't just a donut shop, it's a family tradition and a part of our community. It's rare to see a business that connects generations like this. The vibe inside gives off a comforting old school feel, the kind that makes you feel like you're stepping into a piece of history. No frills, no gimmicks, just the smell of fresh donuts and coffee and the sight of locals coming through the door at all hours of the day. Of course, Dunkin' Donuts set up nearby, but Rainbow has something no chain can copy. It has that small mom and pop heart, that smile from the owner who remembers you after a few visits, that special feeling you only get from a neighborhood spot that's been loved for decades. Parking right in front is limited, only a couple of spots, but that doesn't bother me one bit. There's a lot across the street and if I have to cross for a fresh glazed or a chocolate bar, I'll happily do it. Plus, they recently added a Tesla charger nearby so it's the perfect excuse to plug in and pick up a dozen. Rainbow Donuts isn't just donuts either. They sell lottery tickets, snacks, and other food, making it a little one stop shop when you need a quick bite or just want to test your luck while sipping coffee. It's the kind of variety that keeps people coming back. Another thing I appreciate is how safe it feels. The shop sits on a busy street, but the entrance to the lot is simple and secure. You don't see people loitering or any uncomfortable crowds, which makes those late night donut runs feel easy and relaxed. As for the donuts themselves, the pricing is more than fair. In a time where everything seems to get more expensive, it feels good to walk out with a full box without spending a fortune. You get that unbeatable combination of quality and value. For me, this place is wrapped up in memories. I've been here more than fifty times, growing up in West Covina, and every visit feels like a little piece of my story. Whether it's late night snacks with friends or Saturday mornings with family, Rainbow has always been there. So if you're in West Covina and debating between a chain or something real, do yourself a favor and stop here. Rainbow Donuts is fresh, consistent, welcoming, and absolutely a gem in this city. Try it once and you'll understand why people like me and my grandparents keep coming back.

Regular Tiger Tail
Victoria C.

Stopped by here on Friday morning as I was craving donuts and also heard that the owner is going to retire soon. Got one blueberry glazed cake donut and a tiger tail. The donuts are huge and most importantly it's fresh. I like the blueberry glazed cake donut more than the tiger tail. The blueberry glazed cake donut was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside .. it had the perfect crunch to it. The tiger tail was soft as well and there were also some crunchy bits in the chocolate parts.. not sure what it is but I feel like the other ones I've had didn't have the crunch bits in it so maybe this one is a special variety. Inside there are a few tables where you can sit and enjoy your food. This place also serves coffee and drinks and Sing is very nice and polite. I can tell there are some regulars here as I saw them just spending time there :)

Environment was good. Service was good. Food was good. Pretty cool spot here nice cool place

Coconut Glaze
Chelsea B.

Wow best blue berry donut I've ever had! This place exceeded my expectations. You can see the fluffiness and gluten development in the coconut donut. Plus I was given an extra glaze donut for free. Super great service. It's open 24/7 and I would definitely come here again. You can tell there's a good following because there's a lot of pictures of happy customers all over the restaurant. I also like how there's several lottery winners at this location. I'll go here when I want to play the lottery. This donut shop is clean and has plenty of parking. With several chairs and tables inside.

Great selection, even after 1pm
Therese F.

The folks behind the counter were very sweet and easily talked us into getting an extra donut or two. These donuts were so big and tasted fresh, even the next day. I'm honestly glad I do not live nearby, because eating here all the time would be a real problem for my waistline.

Rainbow donuts has been a West Covina staple for over 20 years! My mom used to bring me here when I was a kid when we first moved to the area. I'm 35 now and continue to visit Rainbow donuts for their Chocolate chip rolls. I'm also a huge fan of their ham, cheese and jalapeño croissants. They are the best! The service here is always great! Sing is always so nice. She treat everyone like a friend, and neighbor. The donuts are huge, cakey and full of chewy goodness. You get your money's worth here. Whenever they've added something new, she always let's us know and encourages us to try it. On some occasions has even slipped an extra donut for us when she really wants us to taste it. She is really so kind and generous. Their latest addition is the cronut, and my goodness it was heavenly. I truly believe their donuts are 2nd to none. I've purchased them for some of my clients and everyone has agreed that they're delicious. I am and will be a lifelong customer of Sing. I absolutely will not get donuts from anywhere else. They are worth it, and I encourage everyone to try them and support Sing and Rainbow Donuts!

I support small businesses as often as possible and this donut shop is no exception. This shop has been around for many, many years. That is why it was not cool when the, "other donut shop/chain" opened up one business away. I am and many others do not want to see this place fail so we support it by buying our donuts and coffee here several times per week. Donuts are always fresh and very tasting, owner is so friendly and appreciative of each customer and prices are very affordable. I'll keep coming here for my cinnamon donuts and egg salad sandwiches.

Rainbow Donuts in West Covina is a fine donut shop. Dropped in for some dessert after having dinner at the Taco Bell nearby. I was greeted by the nice young woman who was working that evening. They still had a nice selection of donuts that evening I visited. Don't know if they bake throughout the day or not. Was kind of worried that the donuts would be stale. No need to worry because the donut I ate tasted fresh and delicious. I bought myself one of those large bear claws with apple filling. Unfortunately, my "go to" donut was already sold out. I usually tend to purchase a Boston Crème donut whenever I patronize a donut shop for the very first time. I ate my apple bear claw at one of their available tables. As I sat enjoying my yummy treat a couple of other groups of folks came in. They all seemed to be regulars, and the young lady assisting them treated them great also. Overall, it was an A+ experience! Excellent customer service, yummy donut, clean establishment, and fair prices. Nothing to complain about here.

They sell hats.

Ample parking which is a plus…read more However the negative review pertains to the ineffective management and poor customer service. It's better to come in during the morning because by afternoon, there is a good chance you will see a fly in the glass casing touching all the pastries. Yikes! It's happened on multiple instances. Also, employees do not use gloves when handling pastries whether that be from putting your pastries in bags at checkout, warming it up for you, or bagging individual pastries to be put on shelves. No gloves used. Now for the poor customer service and management.. I believe the unprofessional customer service stems from untrained management as employees are often frazzled and seem clueless on effective time management. If there's more than 2 customers in line, employees suddenly don't know what to do. They go from taking an order to ignoring the next customer in line to go make drinks for 5 minutes then come back. Then while waiting for drinks, people who ordered drinks after me got theirs first. I want to call out two specific employees (1 male with ear piercings and 1 female) on Sunday morning 04/26/26. There was no one else behind me as I ordered 2 drinks one being a frappe. They were conversing the whole time which I don't mind but it hindered and slowed down the timing in making my drinks. While the girl was making my frappe and pouring it in the cup, she STOPPED AND PAUSED TO CONTINUE HER CONVERSATION. while we were standing there just waiting. It's just extremely unprofessional. Also might be a management issue to have poorly trained team members as employees don't seem to stay for long.

These are why it gets 2 stars. Now for the disappointing. While the pastries look great, they have that La Croix feel. The ones that say chocolate have the faintest aftertaste of once being near a cocoa bean. The texture of most of those are perfectly fine, with the rare exception of the partially cooked muffin I just had. Thus is the main gripe I have with this place, the pastries.

This is now called " Flora Bakery & Tea"…read more This placed was called "Lucky Sakura" before when it was first opened in 2021-2022. It is located in the Tokyo Central plaza near the Dunkin donut stores. Plenty of parking because it shared with a whole bunch of stores in the strip mall. Regardless of change of owner or the change of name, this place is always known for its mochi with stuffings and cute design. You can always customize your preference or have to custom make for you. The difference is probably they have less variety of food now, just mochi and cakes. Flora Bakery & Tea has been in business for almost a year. The quality of mochi is still great, size is still big and cost is still kind of pricey. You get 3 for $20. The exterior & interior design of this store is pretty with flowers and cherry blossoms ( like a garden ) feeling. It has an area where you can sit outside or inside to chitchat and eat your dessert. They have many kind of options. Different cartoon and different stuffings in there for example, strawberry, green apple, peach, Oreo, mango. Each one has a very good taste to it. Highly recommended for dessert place and there isn't many if any of these kind if store around in LA / Orange county.

He saved Mother's Day !!! I must also mention Danny and Lissette are amazing every time we order cakes for family events. It's always a great experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back for their goodies.
