Customer Reviews

Extremely inviting shop with great vibes. Service was friendly and positive. The donuts were fresh and delicious. A very good first experience at this donut shop.

This was my first time at this bakery but I had tried these delicious and fresh donuts before because when my store has early morning meetings they usually get them from here since there?s such a wide selection to choose from.The girl from the counter I believe her name is Val offered to make me a special donut with just custard and no chocolate which was amazing.The store was clean,neat and Val was friendly and sweet. I would definitely recommend .The pastries have always been delicious and fresh.

My husband and I drove across town just to go to this donut shop. We were regretfully let down. We bought a dozen of what tasted like day old donuts. We threw away both of the chocolate cake donuts. They were very hard. The maple bars and iced donuts tasted stale and thought we could smell old grease. The girl that was behind the counter was nice and friendly. However, if it were me, I would have been honest about when the donuts were made considering we spent $23.99 on a dozen.

Top shelf donuts are on pointe for sure! The traditional donuts ?? were not as soft for it being 8am. A big plus for having A1 organic milk ??. Owner was super nice and explained the variety of top shelf donuts.

These doughnuts are soooo good! We tried a variety from banana, banana stuffed with chocolate, orange, blueberry, matcha, mazapan, oreo, strawberry cheesecake, and coffee! They were super soft and well made. ?????????? Super friendly owner! She gave the kids stickers and we will definitely be back and if you haven't been yet make sure you do because it's worth it! ??????

First time checking this place out. The donuts were good. Nothing extra special about them, but tasty enough to satisfy the donut craving I had. I am looking forward to the evolution of this place. They also carry Cloud Nine Coffee here. Staff was friendly, and the location is clean. I would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely come by again.

First time here and the employee was so gracious and helpful. The place was very clean and simple decor. Their donuts are delicious!

First and foremost the couple that own this company couldn?t be nicer I have made a custom order and was very picky and they went though every step and answered all my questions second yes it is a bit pricy if your getting the boujee donuts or a custom order but hey if your wanting boujee your gotta pay for boujee they have a business and a family and everything is expensive these days. My all time favorite is the ORANGE donut I can?t get enough !!! I take my son her every Friday for our donut Fridays befo

Hands down BEST donuts ever! The Horchata has been my fave so far, but we also loved the Reese?s donut with peanut butter inside. Mmmmmm! Their donuts are so fresh, airy, with just the right amount of sweet, and oh so fancy! The staff provided great service and the owners are amazing people also!

DUUUUUUUDE...... by far THE nicest place... THE fluffiest Donuts ??..... and most of all patient people to deal with. Heard this spot from a Nurse during my ladies visit, I was like whatever about until he said he lives a lil past East Bakersfield and he goes there every other week.... So I'm like damn ok.... went... He said the 2 items he always gets is the PEANUT ?? BUTTER FILLED REESES DONUT ?? and MAZAPAN DONUT ??...... (I'm never gonna be skinny again ?? ????????????????) Since then I went back tw

I?ve been here once and I loved it! Their customer service was great! The ham and cheese croissant with jalape?os is what drew me in initially! I ended up buying a strawberry cheesecake donut as well and my goodness, it was amazing! Yes, there are many donut shops around town but this place has some very unique choices! I will definitely be trying some more donuts soon!

Finally came here after hearing all the buzz. Started off with a jalape?o croissant and an order of a dozen donuts. Came out to about $36, which is about the right price. Not a fan of jalape?os, but I have to say this is one of the better croissants I've had. It was flakey, soft, and tasty. Definitely recommended. As for the donuts, it was a lot of miss than hits. The horchata donut was very soft and tasty, but the rest was ok. The donut I really came for though is the strawberry one that everyone was talki

Their donuts taste off. The bread taste nasty and yiu can taste alot of sugar. White lane donuts beats most of these donuts shops bakersfield just dont know what donuts are and rate high for donuts that taste like garbage. Stick to make churros please.

Wilfredo said there was nothing special about these donuts. This is an outright lie. These donuts are ??! Numerous original recipes, including a banana glaze, and strawberry cheesecake. By far and away much cheaper than similar spots Randy?s and Sugar Twist, cant go to either of those places without taking out a small loan first. If you miss Randy?s maple bacon bar, check their maple bacon pretzel out! Only one complaint, they need to order regular whole milk, this organic stuff aint it.

We were really excited to try out this local donut shop. As we walked into the the donut shop you're greeted by a wall with donut from ceiling to floor and our 2 little kids got curious and excited to see so many donuts on a wall and touched them with their finger tips when from behind the counter the employee started yelling to NOT TOUCH THE DONUTS! If you're so worried about your donuts getting damaged or stolen, a good idea would be to put them behind the counter or place a no children allowed! At this

Wanted to stop by and try this place and was not disappointed. Got a small variety of donuts to try and their jalapeno ham and cheese croissant. Definitely will come back.

Best customer service and super friendly! And the donuts are chef kiss! ??????????? I never was donut person until I tried their donuts and we are obsessed! You must try them!

Maybe need to try their donuts earlier in the day! We tried 4 different flavors and they were pretty average ? the glaze was very sweet and it made it hard to taste the flavor each donut was advertised as. Was especially looking forward to the strawberry cheesecake donut, but it just tasted like a basic glazed. Nice atmosphere and service though!

I?m always giddy about trying new donut shops and this place is it. To quote my 5-year-old daughter, ?It tastes good chocolate? our new favorite spot for fresh delicious donuts.

I Took these to work today. Everyone that tried one including myself all agreed it was the best donut we had ever tried. 15/10 recommend!

This was my first time to Bakersfield Donut Company. I ordered a Bavarian cream, a bear claw and a speciality donut called a cherry butterfly. All were really good. Not too sweet with just a slight chew to them. I will definitely be going back. There were many more specialty donuts I want to try.

My brothers where craving donuts so I want to try the new place. But it was really really disappointed with the customer service more with the employee that was there today. The lady that was there yelled at my brother for going to the donut wall ?DONT TOUCH THE DONUTS WALL!? The was not the ways to talk to a boy there is nice way to ask or said it but yelling at someone else?s kid. We where existed to have a closer donut shop but WE WILL NEVER GO BACK. The employee make the shop look bad.

Okay so if you haven't tried these Donuts !! Do yourself a favor and GO try them! There are so many choices to choose from and they are the softest, fluffiest, most delicious Donuts I have ever tried!!! Seriously and they are still fresh and just as amazing the next day!! What Donuts truly stay just as good as the day prior?!?! BAKERSFIELD DONUT CO!! It is also so cute inside with the Donut Wall!! I got a picture with the wall! It does have signs to not touch but that doesn't mean you cant enjoy the beauty

Was excited to try this place out and was pretty let down. The donuts just were not very good, the ones I got tasted stale and like the oil being used was old. Service was great though and I hope they get the problems fixed, I would love to try again one day and update my review.

Really disappointed with the employee that was there today (tall girl) I go multiple times a week because my son LOVES the donuts from here. The girl that was there (which I had NEVER seen before) yelled at him for going near the donut wall yelling ?DONT TOUCH THE DONUTS!? There is ways to talk to people but yelling at someone else?s child is NEVER OK! My son hadn?t even touched the donuts. It took everything in me to not tell her something right then and there. WILL NEVER GO BACK and it?s a shame because a

Love to visit Christian-owned businesses and as soon as I walked in the door, the vibe was on point. The owner is super nice, and there were so many great looking donuts I could hardly choose. I settled on the blueberry crumb and the peanut butter cup peanut butter filled. Excellent place, will definitely come back!

I am so happy we were finally able to stop by this morning. It is not a stretch to say Bakersfield Donut, Co is the best donut shop in town. The donuts had a wonderful texture. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They have a wide variety of unique flavors like Matcha, Coffee, strawberry cheesecake, etc. The donuts were beautiful; you can tell a lot of care went into making them. The shop is cute and the family that runs it is very sweet. Can't wait for our next visit!

1st time customers, was no line customer in front of us was also a new customer from the questions, once we were ready to order staff member was short in regards to questions about specialty donuts. We purchased a dozen of mixed of regular & "specialty" price seemed fair to modern day cost. Unfortunately the donuts seemed to dense, not risen properly or maybe sat for a while since we visited Sunday afternoon Either way it may be option if you are in area and in need of pastries.

Today 7/11/24 was my first visit to this shop. It looks like a donut shop, clean and friendly employee. Unfortunately the donut I ate , I forced myself to finish eating. Trust me I love donuts but i can't explain the donut looking bread I ate. It's a shame but I'm sorry to say I will be going somewhere else for donuts.

I got word from my brother about this place through a instagram post about the a lady from LA who drove up there to see what it was about. Since I was up there for the Bakersfield marathon weekend I decided on my way home I would stop by and I was very impressed with their selection of donuts. They were well worth the price and visit very friendly staff and Chelsea was very helpful with my experience. I live in Ventura County and glad I stopped by and got more then a dozen for my family definitely will go a

I am a big fan of crumble donuts and this place holds my standards very high. The atmosphere was clean, service was friendly and the variety of other donuts besides crumble were outstanding! I love their donut wall as well since it's very "instaworthy". I found this location through Instagram and had let them know, which they were happy to hear about. It's definitely a recommendation if you're looking for new flavors in donuts or are looking for a local donut shop to support.

Neat shop! Lots of specialty donuts to choose from. However, a bit pricy. Paid $6 for 3 donuts. Strawberry shortcake was good. Chocolate bar and maple bar were dry. Went early enough in the morning where they should have been fresh. Tasted day old. The Foster?s across the street has fresher donuts, for cheaper.

This place is awesome. Donuts are awesome, and the customer service is great. I first had their donuts at Cloud9 Coffee and was super excited when they opened at their location. Now I can get them anytime! The family is very nice, place is kid friendly, and I love supporting local. Go check them out for amazing donuts and people.

I ordered a ham n cheese croissant, it was terrible! Croissant itself was just dry and bland, there was one piece of the thinnest slice of deli ham you can get lol and I couldn?t even see cheese I could taste it but barely. Needless to say I didn?t finish it and wasted $5.00

I don't know why people leave bad reviews like how kids are just kids yes they are but there are two stories and I know these family-owned Business shops, control your kids don't just make a bad review because your kids were bad, The strawberry shortcake is super good, I went through all these bad reviews these are not true they are made on the spot that hits they are freshly made in the mornings and tases the best And maybe yes, the croissants may have jalape?o, but it says it in the names so don?t just sa

We decided to give this new spot a try. We ordered a dozen mixed donuts and were happy with those. We also ordered a turkey and cheese croissant for my 8 years old. We got to the car and my daughter starts eating her croissant. She complains it's spicy. I looked at it and it had jalape?os in it. My husband said he would go back in to get it corrected and replaced. The girl at the front didn't apologize for her mistake and her excuse was that it's hard to tell which is which since they are all put together i

Bought donuts here on 2 separate occasions & were also given a dozen by a friend. Each time no matter the flavor (Banana/Strawberry/Blueberry) they all tasted like plain old donuts cooked in old oil

We recently moved to Bakersfield and have been looking for good restaurants including doughnut shops. We had patronized a few already when we discovered this one. From our very first visit, every single employee as demonstrated excellent customer service skills! The doughnuts are delicious and fresh! The place is clean with a fun atmosphere, having a wall display of doughnuts. We have found our #1 doughnut shop.

We got a dozen and the donuts were good. All pretty standard donuts nothing crazy or weird.

Go support a small businesses! This place is so delicious and Christian based, they have many flavors other dounut shops don?t carry

The donuts are mid they aren?t soft and fluffy the chocolate donut is overly sweet why dip a glazed donut in chocolate The cinnamon roll doesn?t have a cinnamon taste to it. None of the donuts I?ve had here stand out they are bland. The lady is very friendly the man that works there it?s not very friendly

Store is small but nice presentation. No tables for sitting. I arrived shortly after lunch and impressed with the taste. Our last visit only my sons went in and they walked out with a smile. We?ve returned several times, we just can?t get enough!

If you sport local, this is one donut shop that you should add to your list! Everything I?ve tried has been fresh, soft and delicious! I?ve stopped by for a dozen to bring to work and my coworkers are always delighted! Definitely worth a try, or several.

Not kid friendly!!Not family friendly ! First time and last time.NEVER coming here again! Donuts are not any good Not fresh at all. Came in with a big party to try out this place and support but as soon as we came in was not friendly at all . The owners were screaming at the kids not to touch the donuts even dough they are at a kids level they stopped serving just to clean the wall

Happened to be in the shopping center so I grabbed some donuts and I will be coming out of my way to get these again. They were so tasty! I would have to say out of the 4 I got, Nutella and coffee flavor were my favorite

Best Donuts I've tried in Bakersfield, So kind my experience as handicap took my Donuts to my car they are so kind clean place and so delicious!! Thank you ?? I recommend it you'll love it.

Donuts are not good, taste weird and old waste of money. The bacon on the maple is nasty. Even a regular glaze is a no good
