Cute little mom and pop donut shop right next to the 22 freeway (Magnolia exit) - shares the decent sized parking lot with a Chevron, phone repair spot, and a liquor store. I stopped by to check out their treats - they were already out of their famous cronchas, so I opted for a sausage, egg and cheese croissant sandwich instead. They must've been out of sausage, since I had just bacon in my croissantwich instead. Oh well. It was still a decent croissant. The guy was nice enough to fill my sandwich bag with some donut holes on the house. The wait can get long - especially if you've got picky people in front of you - but it's worth the wait. Prices are fair for what you're getting - depending on when you get here, the donuts can be fresh - but they do sell out as the day passes. Employees are friendly and quick - the wait is usually because of the indecisive people in front of you. Opens early at 5:00am, closes at 12:30pm. Cash preferred, card accepted with 50 cent charge. read more

GET THERE EARLY FOR THE CRONCHAS!! :) Stopped by Donut Maker finally to try their famous Cronchas (croissant +concha). I arrive around 7:15am and there were only 6 left-lucky me, I snagged them all! When I asked if they would be making more, the staff member was super friendly and explained that they only bake a limited batch each morning. She even took the time to recommend calling ahead the day before or early in the morning next time, since they tend to sell out quickly. I really appreciate how helpful and kind she was. The Cronchas were amazing---- flaky, buttery, and topped with that perfect concha sweetness. Totally worth the early stop. read more

The Donut Makers is conveniently located by a gas station, in a little mini mart with ample parking. I arrived about 7:30am on a Friday & the case was already about 1/2 empty. Construction workers & students were leaving as I entered. The place looked clean, bright, & open. I was greeted with a smile right away & the lady behind the counter was eager to help. I got a dozen donuts, including 2 cronchas (croissant+concha), twists, an apple fritter, etc. If you want their specialty - a croncha - get there early or order ahead; I got the last 2! It was $18.50 for the dozen... does that sound like a lot? I don't buy them every week, so it was worth the splurge. The lady even surprised me by throwing in a handful of donut holes. read more

The Donut Makers - The apple fritter was as big as a face - enough for sharing! $18.50 for a dozen 2/14/25 - Donuts Near Me - Garden Grove, California

They never fail to be so iconic and kind and sweet! Everything tastes delicious and is made to perfection each time. I come here every time I'm in Orange County. They also served at my birthday so might I add that. Literally the best donuts and best iced coffee too. Like you can't go wrong. It looks like a hole in the wall but that's what makes it great. read more

One of my friends introduced me to this donut shop years ago. It's just a mom and pop shop, but their donuts are really good. I normally drop in for their glazed donuts. Never disappoints. Looking forward to trying other items here. They are conveniently located next to the Chevron gas station by the 22 fwy. The gas prices there are decent, so come grab a donut next door while you're there. Happy eating! read more

1. The croncha is a delicious fusion of croissant and concha! Also, this Vietnamese Iced Coffee was only $3, and that was the cheapest price for this coffee in the area! 2. The spot has fast-paced vibes as it is simply an order-and-go process! There are no seatings! 3. The staff were friendly and quick with my coffee! Took less than 5 mins! Note: They take cards but there is a 50 cent additional card charge! Photo: Croncha and Vietnamese Iced Coffee read more

The owner always recognizes me and remembers my order even though I only go once a week. Today I paid and I was already leaving when I noticed my card declined so I called them and informed them that I will come back to pay in cash and she was totally nice and said don't worry about that I can take care of it next time. I truly appreciated it since she didn't have to trust me and could have been rude about it. By the way their donuts are amazing! read more

They have dairy free donuts! So fluffy & delicious without the hefty price my go to donut spot

Donuts are one of favorite things and i decided to look for a relatively closer donut shop than my super favorite one in Fountain Valley. I found The Donut Makers and they make it to my list of faves. Unfortunately for me, they sold out of sugar raised one so I opted to get one each of their regular glazed and chocolate glazed. Both were fluffy and tasted fresh. Their donuts are a notch better than the store in Seal Beach and right below my top go-to spot in FV (why does it have to be so far!?!). This place is also known for their concha's. Since no fresh ones were available, I decided to get a bag of their day-old ones. I don't think it would be fair for me to give a review for it since it wasn't freshly made. I tasted it and it was alright. Would I get one again? Well, if I only had to choose between a concha and donut, then I shall always opt for the donut. Prices for the regular donuts were $1.35 and I think bars and twists were pricier. I forgot to take pics of their menu but will try to do that next time I go. The store worker was nice and friendly so complaints there. She mentioned that their known for their concha's and I should preorder if I want some since they don't have them later in the day. I think this place is a solid 4.5. I can't give that score so I'll bump them up to 5 just coz I'm feeling generous. read more

The donut croissants (glazed, cinnamon, concha) are delicious and the owners are attentive. If you want a deal, go for the glazed and cinnamon! The concha croissants are pricey but still worth experiencing once :) read more

A concha and croissant together? Genius. I came to Donut Makers specifically to try their Croncha, which is a crossover between a croissant and a concha (Mexican sweet bread). They come in a variety of fun colors, but there is no flavor to the sugary crust on top - just a sweet taste. I warmed it in the toaster oven and I think that is the best way to enjoy this lovely treat because it was crispy on the outside and fluffy soft on the inside. Cronchas are a great alternative to donuts to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea. Donuts are sweeter compared to Cronchas. If you're looking for a new twist to the croissant mix, give the Croncha from The Donut Makers a try! read more

I absolutely love this place. Always clean. Always helpful no matter what day I go and no matter what employee helps. From donuts, to breakfast sandwiches, to cronchas...all delicious and fresh. The cronchas are a hit every where I take them. read more

Croncha=Mexican Concha and Croissant. Wow what an amazing combo! Softness and croissant flakes mixed with the topping of a concha is amazing and smart! To my surprise, it's not overpowering sweet. I highly recommend it. read more

Beer, claw and cinnamon sugar doughnut was excellent. Prices are also very reasonable especially considering other local donut shops. Come early because they sell out of many varieties by 10 AM. read more

At the top of my list of pan dulce that I love is the Chocolate Concha, so why did I start off this review talking about Mexican Pan Dulce when this is a Donut shop you ask? Not all pan dulce is created equal, while I always like to try new places for food, some simple things like pan dulce I find it difficult to find to my liking, there are only a handful of places around Los Angeles that I've found Conchas or Puerquitos to my liking. So why am I here at "The Donut Makers?" https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-donut-makers-garden-grove?select=eYBDbDnzK8KHMEpW3Bl6aA because "Cindy S" told me about the Croncha! Say what?.... Croncha https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-donut-makers-garden-grove?select=8wreNP9vFHTsmuyhaYTFtA 50% Croissant, 50% Concha, 100% DELICIOUS!!! OK, so it's a hybrid Concha, https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-donut-makers-garden-grove?select=noWYXKn2Y6F7T0VxorNwoQ yes, but this small independent Asian owned Donut shop is doing the Concha BETTER than the majority of the Panaderia's in Los Angeles! I've been there twice and only able to get a few Croncha's on one occasion, they do sell out fast, not sure why they don't make more? But my advise if you're going to go.....go early! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-donut-makers-garden-grove?select=nCJSsOXaN4L6Xj9VEuc5HA https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-donut-makers-garden-grove?select=G6w-caQqvP8GRmNA0OeHFw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-donut-makers-garden-grove?select=EEEAWRyJBraLJ3Ht_80ImQ read more

I've tried the donuts here a few times and they're delicious! Today I decided to try to the bagel with cream cheese and i was disappointed with the amount of cream cheese it had. The bread was tasty and crispy, which I loved! The service was quick and spot on. read more

Great donuts, my favorite is one of their sandwiches with the bolillo bread. But honestly speaking, service is butter, especially the young lady. Anyways, i tried not to talk much, just give me my order and lets keep it going. Very disappointing they also charge for creamers for your coffee LOL. That's very selfish to your clients, the least you could do is to give them for free just like other coffee shops. Not coming back here, i am a coffee lover. read more

Love this place! Moved away recently and no longer had easy access to a local donut spot. Luckily, The Donut Makers were right down the street from my new place - and they're amazing! The owners are lovely people and recognize you if you've come in previously. They have a wide selection of options for breakfast, Vietnamese iced coffee, and of course, cronchas (croissant and concha hybrid)! I make sure to stop in at least once a week. Support your local businesses! read more

I ordered the cronchas and they were amazing. Service is great very kind and friendly

I was craving donuts and noticed that The Donut Makers have something called Cronchas (a mix between a concha and a croissant). I knew I had to try it because I am a big fan of both, but to breed them together!?!? Who knew!?! Sadly, I came later on in the day and they were all sold out. Instead, I ordered a fruity pebbles twist donut and a Fruit Loop round donut. They are both great ideas; the flavors were definitely there and brought me back to my childhood. However, the cereals on the donuts did indeed taste stale. Decent though, nonetheless. I will try again another day to arrive early for those cronchas! read more

The Donut Makers - Croncha - Donuts Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This mom and pop donut shop is one of those gems in all of Garden Grove. Upon entering The Donut Makers, you get hit with a decadent aroma of donuts, freshly brewed coffee, and freshly baked croissants. I found this establishment on Facebook page, when a student posted about it. She stated that donuts were baked every morning and everything is made to order. She also stated that everything was affordable and made with quality ingredients. My personal favorite is the Pandan donut. I have had to Pandan before but never as a donut. Upon taking my first bite, you can taste the classic donut but also with that nice, lovely, flavor of Pandan seeping through within the icing. Their sandwiches are amazing as well. I inform them that I'm vegetarian and they were willing to modify it without an extra charge!!! If you are within the Garden Grove/ Westminister area, please visit The Donut Makers! Their affordable donut do not only feed up to the hype, but also fill you up with guilt free pleasure!!! read more

In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. This morning, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from an unexpected source. The unexpected source being the artists that lay behind The Donut Makers. A true master craftsman of the delectable art of pastry composition. The Donut Makers not only make donuts, they make dreams. With their soft, pillow-like buns, they have undoubtably perfected their craft. Every morsel gives you a small vision of what it means to be taken to cloud 9. Bravo to the talented creators of this excellent establishment. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. read more

I stumbled upon the Cronchas on Instagram and knew I had to try them out! A Croncha is a cross between a Concha (Mexican sweet bread roll with a sweet & crunchy outer shell) x Croissant. They are crispy, buttery, & sweet! I also have to mention that they're colorful & fun to bring parties! Aside from the Cronchas, their donuts are incredibly fluffy! Some places make their donuts too heavy or oily, but this place makes it just right. Typically, a bite or two of a donut is all I can handle, but I can eat a whole one from here...maybe 2. This place is dangerous!...or just dangerously good. ;) The employees here are just the absolute sweetest. All the more reason to come back to support their business. read more

My new favorite donut shop. They have the most kind and patient staff. I came in and was immediately greeted and presented with the most colorful and interesting donuts! Move over cronuts, cronchas are here for the highlight today! They are such a wonderful creation. They also have filled cronchas as well. The fruity pebbles tastes as good as it looks too. The donut holes are light and fluffy!!! I hate dense donuts holes and they really nailed a good one here. Their ham and cheeses are so gooey good and try their sausage blankets!!!! The prices are very reasonable, and it was an office hit! I will surely commit to coming every Friday :) I didn't get to try the pandan donut but I will definitely come back to try it. read more

The lady helping us today was absolutely amazing. My husband and I stopped by early in the morning to buy cronchas but ended up coming back a few hours later because we wanted to buy more, this time the specialty ones. We arrived and we noticed that they no longer had to those so him and I were going to take off but the sweet lady at the counter offered to make some for us on the spot. It was only going to be a few minutes so we decided why not? In a matter of 10 mins we were out the door with our donuts in hand. Not once did the lady seem hesitant to help us and we really felt like we were no bother to her at all. I REALLY REALLY appreciate the friendliness of that lady. Instead of giving a 10/10 I'd give them a 50/10! read more

The Donut Makers - Cronchas! - Donuts Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Fun fact: they make the donuts for "Afters Ice cream" Friendly service and was pretty busy on a Sunday morning. Apparently known for their Croncha. There are a few flavors to pick from so I'll be back to try a few more, including their cronut and ham & cheese croissant. Due to covid, you can ask for individual creamers instead of the half and half sitting out for everyone to use. 50 cent fee if you use a credit card I think they need to update their prices online and on the board because they're different and when I was in the store, one of the customers was asking about his total as well. read more

The Donut Makers - Croncha - Donuts Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This place doesn't have enough reviews! It's definitely a little mom and pop shop but it deserves so much more recognition. Screw all these new hipster fancy donut shops, can they even make a regular donut? Anyway, I'm here almost every morning to get coffee . Which, by the way, is so good. It's just black coffee with a couple spoons of condensed milk but I don't know, it's fantastic. Occasionally I'll get a little something to much on. They're the only place I've seen that does a "croncha," -- a concha/croissant hybrid. You have to try it, I'm sure warmed up it's super bomb. Drop your local donut ship and check out this place. Totally totally worth it. read more

Came by for an apple fritter. Shop was nearly empty. Apple fritter was just fine. I like my fritter to be crispy on the outside but this one was mostly soft.
