Friendly Doughnuts is an absolute gem of a spot! From the moment you pull up to the classic storefront, you know you're in for a treat. Walking inside, the interior has such a cool, retro-modern vibe, complete with a unique geometric waffle-patterned ceiling design and vibrant pink accents. But the real star of the show is the display case—it is packed to absolute perfection with the most incredible assortment of pastries and artisanal sweets you will ever see.
The selection is simply mind-blowing. Whether you are craving classic glazed rings, decadent cronuts and dossants loaded with toppings like fresh strawberries and cream, or specialty treats like mochi donuts, ube rings, and flan donuts, they have it all. They also boast an impressive variety of vegan options, ensuring everyone in your group can find something delicious to enjoy.
I picked up a box featuring their fun playful slogan—"The secret to my diet"—and filled it with a gorgeous mix of treats, including a decadent French cream-filled pastry and a stunning strawberry shortcake specialty piece. Everything tasted just as fresh, fluffy, and heavenly as it looked. The service is welcoming, the energy is bright, and the quality is completely unmatched. If you are anywhere near Orange, California, stopping by Friendly Doughnuts is an absolute must-do. Easily a five-star experience across the board for food, service, and atmosphere!

I love this donut shop! These folks put love and attention into every single one! The variety is phenomenal! The taste is beyond my dreams! And the service was top-notch! Heads up, though, in order to leave a tip if you’re using your credit card take cash!

We found this place on Google and have seen them before with their large sign on the window that they served vegan donuts, so we decided to try them.
The gentleman that helped us was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the donuts. We Googled baked donuts for a "healthier" alternative and this place popped up. I called ahead of time to verify if they served baked donuts. The lady said yes and that they were vegan. However, when we came in, the gentleman said the only baked ones were the gluten free donuts with 4 icing flavors. Even though we were slightly disappointed with the misinformation given over the phone, the gentleman and the display of donuts made up for it all. 😂
They have a larger selection of different flavored donuts compared to the traditional mom and pop. We decided to try their cookies & creme mochi donut, Ube topped donut, their flan donut, and their baked gluten free donuts. All of them were delicious! The Ube donut tasted more like the flan with ube flavor (if that made sense) 😂 Ube is a vibrant, naturally violet-purple yam native to the Philippines and is used in a lot of their desserts. Their baked gluten free donuts tasted like cake. All were delicious. My personal favorite was the mochi and their French creme donut.
I noticed they have a machine that squeezes out fresh orange juice from the fruit itself.
They have an outdoor seating area and has wide metal bars in between to give space from other people-- which is nice.
They have their own private parking lot and a lot of spaces available.
There was a lot they had to offer compared to other donut shops. We noticed there were some breakfast, slider sandwiches, and specialty beverages on their menus. We'll definitely be back to try more!
