Customer Reviews

Amazing place! Owner is very friendly and puts love into all his donuts. The apple fritter and donut holes are the absolute best. Sometimes he?ll have giant apple fritters that are as big as a dinner plate. Love going here on my way to Ventura and back.

Had a caramel mocha ?? it was actually pretty good and the donuts ?? were also pretty

Best Glaze donut ever. My husband and I were driving through Filmore and wanted a sweet treat. I got the Glaze, he got the apple fritter. Hands down the best Glaze donut I have ever had, flaky outside, soft inside. I will say the customer service wasn't the best, however I was there for the Donut and it was great.

Best donuts ever!! These donuts in the evening are better than others in the early morning. I?ve read the negative reviews here ? who cares if the service isn?t what you think it should be? I don?t go for someone to be nice to me, I go because the donuts are melt in your mouth amazing! The guy has it completely figured out. Get over your over-sensitivity and experience best ever donuts!

We had the best donuts tonight! We even got extra donut holes as a gift. Man at the counter was so knowledgeable and had the best of many conversations. He did not know we had a bad day, lost my phone, missed time to see my brother in the hospital and we just needed a place to get something hot chocolate and a yummy doughnut. He put smiles on mine and my elderly mothers face. ?? thank you

Best donut place ever, very good food and atmosphere also great energy. It?s always clean and very organized. ALSO BEST BOBA

$7 for 2 regular donuts and a small milk is just crazy to me. Yum Yum donuts has that same stuff for $4 total

The most unpleasant and unnecessary experience my husband and I have had over a doughnut. The owner was incredibly rude. We went in there for a late snack. We were met with most nasty demeanor by the man behind the counter. I asked for a specific doughnut, didn't know that particular doughnut had filling. He proceeded to tell me that he knows what he's doing and knows which doughnut he would be giving me. Then accused me of somehow portraying me as somebody who came in there to make him fight with us. I fe

The BEST donuts. They are really worth the trip. Very delightful man working there. He talked with me and my children for an hour.

My wife had stopped by Moonlight Donuts a few months ago while traveling from Santa Maria to Victorville and raved about the donuts from this place. Last week we were traveling together through Fillmore and she suggested I try one. We entered the place and the owner was friendly and engaging. I selected the Apple Fritter and the Blueberry cake donuts. Both were insanely tasty. My eyes rolled into the back of my head when I tried the Blueberry cake donut right there in the store. The combination of cris

The food was stale and nasty/old. Atmosphere was dirty, store is in terrible condition. The owner was very rude all the times I went, started yelling and being disrespectful. Very unprofessional, I?ll never go here again. Do not recommend!

After having lunch at the BBQ place next door, I decided to stop by Moonlight Donuts in Fillmore for a sweet treat. I got myself a crumble donut and an apple fritter for my wife. They offer two sizes of apple fritters, and even the small one was a generous portion. The donuts were good, though not the best I?ve ever had. The service was typical of a donut shop?efficient but nothing extraordinary. One downside is that they only accept cash, Venmo, or Zelle, so no cards are accepted, which can be a bit incon

Lady not very polite. Tolerable but ... definitely could use improvement. Pastries are way too sweet. The donut melts like cotton candy in your mouth. Not good. If you want it to taste like cotton candy, just sell COTTON CANDY!

Moonlight donuts are by far and away the best donuts sold in Santa Paula. I don't know what it is they do to make them better than the competition but there's no doubt that they are. Just imagine the best doughnut that you have had. That's what you will get at Moonlight donuts.

Has been around since I was a kid, still as great as ever

My son and I drive from LA to Fillmore every weekend to volunteer at Doberman Rescue and stop at Moonlight Donuts. Quite simply, these are the best donuts on the planet. Fresh, light and delicious. We always bring back donuts for the rest of the family, refrigerate them, and the donuts are even good days later. The owner is friendly and helpful. An amazingly great place!

I am a full time RVer, I don?t live in California but whenever I am anywhere near I always come here for the friendliness of the owner and the absolute best maple frosted anything that he makes in the entire 50 states. All of his donuts are great. Do yourself a favor and stop in to see for yourself, you won?t be disappointed

Always a great experience. Best donuts ever! We visit on our way home from the beach; maybe once or twice a year.

Very friendly and delicious donuts ??

What business accepts CASH ONLY !? Wife is rude and not very friendly. Don't start a conversation with him, he lost me when the subject got to politics. They also have another business in Santa Paula ( not donut shop ).

One of the main reasons we live in Fillmore!! Best donuts EVER!! Not to mention that the customer service is top notch!! Two thumbs up!????

My favorite doughnut shop. I always stop by either the one in fillmore or the one in Santa Paula. They have a huge selection and they are always fresh. The store is open late which is really cool

Great I wanted to stop by and forgot to get one of their huge apple fritters I tried to smaller blueberry apple fritter it was the best lady was so nice I will definitely stop back by when I visit family in the area

Stopped in one morning, met the owner, very nice man. Best long john donut I?ve had in years, crispy outside, thin chocolate perfection!

Best donuts in town. Owner/manager is a great guy, loves to talk and be personable with all his customers.

Lots of filling in the cream and jelly filled donuts. The cake part was light and fluffy not greasy.

I love this guy very friendly and knows his stuff and makes a mean donut

I'm from Oregon, these are I think the best donuts I have ever eaten. I'm taking a dozen or two back to Oregon with me.

My favorite donut place ever ??????

I like this place - I usually stop in when passing through Fillmore. The owner is chatty and the doughnuts are excellent!

The man that works here made rude comments about my son (4 years old) for wanting a pink donut! Never again will they receive any service from us!

Moonlight Donuts has the richest coffee ever in Fillmore.

Always fast and friendly service

The best donuts I've ever had

(Translated by Google) The worst donuts smell bad and taste like reused butter, I had to throw the whole dozen in the trash and they only accept cash to avoid taxes. (Original) Las peores donas huelen mal y saben a manteca reusada tuve que tirar toda la docena ala basura y solo cash aceptan para evadir impuestos
