Customer Reviews

It's been a while since I've had them and they truly never have disappointed. ?? my family and I love their donuts. Strawberry Pop tart and the Banana Cream Pie are two favorites for them. I personally also love the PB&J donut.

Great friendly customer service! Today was my first time here and I tried the Apple Fritters with sugar dusted on top (they also had one drizzled with caramel). They were behind the counter and not in the display case so you have to ask for it. It was a good portion for $3.75. I liked the texture and quality of it. I?ll definitely be back to try other donuts. Update: I came back here again the next day and got the lemon blueberry and red velvet. They were both PERFECT! It was not too sweet! I think I found

What I got vs what I ordered (2nd and 3rd picture). Very disappointed on what we received as it doesn?t look anything like what we ordered. The paint looks like they just did a quick job on it and I almost didn?t want to serve these donuts to my guest because I was so embarrassed. The communication with them was horrible too. I ordered 1 months ahead of time and they said they will send me a sample pic right away but they didn?t send it to me less than a week away from the event. I kept asking them the stat

Really great place. Was picking up my grandson and needed some coffee... glad I found this place. Great doughnuts, grandson and grandpa approved, one of the best apple fritters I've ever had. If I had to nit pick my cappuccino was on the sweet side...

Orang County Crafted Donuts is the quintessential, elevated doughnut shop offering decadent and fancy doughnuts that are sure to impress.There is so much to choose from and the doughnuts are dense and full of flavor without being too sweet. It is the perfect amount of sweetness, so you don't feel like you're cheating too badly, haha! I plan to order a dozen for some very special clients of mine. They are located next to Qargo Coffee, so you can also get a nice cup of coffee, too!

BEST DONUTS I HAVE HAD!!! I am not even a donut person, and these are amazing!!! You can taste the love in each bite - DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!! Even brought some to the amazing Talent Acquisition Team of #Memorialcare and they are also in love!!! ????

I wish I could give them more stars. This place is absolutely phenomenal. That is one of the best donuts I?ve ever had in my life. So soft, not overly sweet it was outstanding, better than Krispy Kreme.

Really bummed by the taste and it was way overpriced. They looked beautiful so the presentation was excellent but the taste was from decent for a couple to horrible for the rest. For instance the caramelized sugar on the cr?me br?l?e donut tasted like some kind of chemical even though it appears to be perfectly done. The dough seems to be nice and fluffy but is pretty bland. Definitely not overly coated with a high fructose glaze like a chain donut but not the flavor you would expect for a premium donut.

Best egg sandwiches! Outstanding, delicious, scrumptious donuts! Apple fritters are perfect! Excellent customer service. Definitely recommend them.

we went here after going to a different donut shop that ended up being closed. were so glad that we found this place, their flavors were awesome, everything looked so delicious and the people were nice. we got banana cream pie and cookie butter and they were both delish

Mmm! Delicious doughnuts and the blended coffee is tasty too! It was hard to choose between so many tempting choices ?? Definitely a good place to get your sugar fix! I liked them because their doughnuts are sweet but no too sweet. Price is worth it

I love their Donuts!!!! Not just the pretty decorations, but the yummy taste. They also gave our kids donuts for free. They do that every weekend, free donuts for kids. It?s a hidden gem

Love Crafted, my fav donut place for real. POC owned, LGBTQ friendly so far. They?re always so nice asking how my day is and sometimes will add in an extra one. Only complaint is their Vanilla Bean glazed donut is so good it runs out so fast I try to come and support 1x a month and have bought them in bulk for my bday

The banana cream pie donut is to die for! So good that is my new favorite donut I have ever had! Great flavorful banana taste and the drizzled caramel just makes it even better. The donuts are nice and fluffy and not to heavy. Can?t wait to come back and try some others from here.

If your looking for custom theme donuts this is the place. The donuts are light and fluffy. Not your typical heavy doughnut dough feeling. You will be blown away by her doughnuts. They are to beautiful to eat. You will not be disappointed. All her employees are super nice.

These donuts were delicious with lots of varieties. The staff here was very friendly. This place does not offer any breakfast sandwiches, just donuts. The seating here is very very limited. I wasn't too impressed by their coffee. If you are interested in donuts and donuts only, then this place is good. The prices can be a bit pricey on specialty donuts.

Premium donuts but not over the top Hate it when you go in and it's all vegan or a little too fancy to be just simply edible They're basic line of donuts with more than adequate for a fancy dozen for my work event Also, stumptown coffee on tap? Gold mine!

Always a pleasure to buy from here everything is so good and fresh donuts do sell out fast so be early but the breakfast sandwich is underrated it?s probably one of the best I?ve had in a long while

Has a good selection of flavors, donuts look really nice/nicely glazed, really BIG donuts. However, the flavor wasnt all that great and you can find better vegan donuts elsewhere.

Great Place, local feel. Plenty of fun creations and regular donuts too!

Amazing donuts in a variety of flavors and styles. They really spend time on the design and the taste is spot on.

I never usually do reviews, but Crafted Donuts is genuinely a place I have to leave a review for. I?ve been coming here since they opened and they?re the only place I can get a donut from now. I live up in a different state now but when whenever I swing by my hometown, I always stop by. Their Homer donut is absolutely amazing. Amazing portion for the price and absolutely delicious; cakes and light and not greasy at all. If you?re torn or typically indecisive? absolutely order it. You cannot go wrong and I?

A non-descript parking lot for a small strip of shops cross corner to a local Costco is where you find a non-run of the mill donut shoppe (it?s so out of the ordinary I used the European spelling of shop)! See my pic for the current menu, they lovingly package the circles of bliss in custom boxes so you?ll never forget where you got them when you take your food pic. So tasty and decadent.

Stopped to charge car near by and all I wanted that morning was coffee but saw a big donut ?? sign and guess what I got. Absolutely delicious donuts it was Mother?s Day so I ate one while I was waiting than got home gave my girlfriend two for Mother?s Day and my neighbor two and the rest were in my tummy ?? It?s a bummer this place is so far away from home next time I?m driving to L.A. or beyond I?ll stop by again

Fresh unique pastries like almond joy, mudslide and banana cream pie, to name a few. Very clean and helpful staff.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Even ordering through delivery apps the service is stellar. If we order something that's run out, he always gives us a sweet apology and some extra goodies to make up for it. The donuts are varied and absolutely delicious every time and the breakfast sandwiches are to die for Love love love this place!

I love this place. The first time I ever went they had one called an Elvis and it had peanut butter frosting and banana cream inside but they haven?t had it since! Today we got a Biscoff and the Homer. They were both good but I wish the Biscoff had a stronger flavor.

Another wonderful discovery. We found this place using the TooGoodToGo app. Excellent quality artisan donuts!

My Daughter absolutely loved this place. Fresh Donuts and very Friendly Staff. ?? ??

I'm normally not big on donuts, or pastries in general, but man oh malley are these amazing, gourmet level, stuff outta an anime style, ~good~. A must try if you find yourself in the area and have even a tiny affection for sweets.

First time coming to this donut shop got so many custom made donuts great spot to stop by checkout all the interesting delicious donuts to snack on

Omg they are the best donuts I have ever eaten I recommend them 100% good flavor they made my day ...

These donuts were so large we couldn?t believe it. They were good but I felt like they were all missing something. They were very cheap though so if you?re in the area and craving a donut, it?s a nice place to go based on the price and quantity.

The best donuts in the area, by far. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.

Many vegan donut options! Friendly and inviting service always. Pictured is the Vegan Chocolate Oreo Donut. Vegan donuts change daily!

Excellent donuts! Don't go for the cheap donut here, it is call Crafted Donuts so go for the crafted ones. Don't be cheap, it is actually cheaper than other high end donut shops. Great fluffy raised donuts. I recommend the banana and graham cracker one. See picture.

I downloaded too good to letgo app and this place was my first choice to try a new establishment donuts , it says pick up is between 3-4 pm so I had made plans to make sure i go within the timeframe , this morning without notice it changes and I can't meet the time requirement. too bad I'll stick to crispy cremes donuts even if its more expensive not worth the hassle of saving a few bucks NEVER AGAIN SMALL BUSINESSES.

Excellent donuts! It was still early enough in the morning where there should not have been issues with the Nitro brew coffee, or it may have been the lack of training on using the machine. Either way, donuts were amazing!

Amazing place! The donuts were as creative as they were delicious. We stopped in for a brief break during a road trip and just found Crafted Donuts by chance. Ordered an Apple fritter and a lemon poppy donut. They were FIRE ??! They also have an amazing array of sandwiches and some beautifully prepared fresh fruit bowls and donuts with fresh fruit. We bought to go a strawberry and whipped cream topped, six donut hole dessert dish which we had later with dinner. Everything was amazing. In retrospect I regre

I was dubious after the shop changed hands, but everything is still very fresh and fun. The lines aren't out the door anymore, but I'd give this place a second chance if you ha e been passing it up

There are some really great donuts in OC. I think these are really some of the best. Try them, you'll love em too.

Surprisingly light donuts, not dense at all and not overly sweet with the frostings. Great flavor choices

My go-to donut shop before work. Love this little place and it always makes me so happy every time I walk in. They also offer many style breakfast sandwiches cooked right on the spot and smoothies and juices made to order. All fresh and delicious. Whenever I buy a box for work, I love the variety of flavor donuts they offer, it's always so fun and everyone loves to talk about them, especially during the holidays when they make themed donuts. The sugared cinnamon roll is amazing, the blueberry cake with lemo

Best donuts I've had in OC. I recommend d the lemon poppyseed.

Customer service was great! Spent $11 on these 4 donuts ?? ??

The donuts are unique & tasty but the service is exceptional!! The girl at the counter was incredibly nice! Give her a raise lol

Best donuts ?? Not too sweet, soft and so delicious.

Prices are high but the creativity of those awesome treats is perfect. Staff are friendly, professional and patience as customers try to decide which selection to make. On holidays they give out extra surprises to their customers. On Mother's Day they gave free heart donuts to all the moms. So thoughtful. It is one of my family's favorite places to go for special treats.

Drove all the way from far north county to get these donuts for our daughters bday, they are amazing! Bee helped me out very friendly and curtious

I don't normally do bad review but this experience warrants one. The service was horrendous !! We drove to this place on our way back to LA from San Diego. We chose this place because of the amazing reviews. We arrived at 445pm and as we walked in to the store, we saw a bald headed employee cleaning the case/counter. There was absolutely no greeting instead the first thing he said was " We ran out of donuts" My wife wanted smoothie, then he said " I'm closing this place anyway because we ran out of donuts"

Cold brew fountain was broken. Donuts are OK, mainly just vanity flavors and sizes.

I love these donuts! I might have to get a job here so I can sample them all!

Outrageously soft donuts! Great customer service! Donut we asked about was not available so we chose others that were. After paying we were checking out our picks and were surprised with a freshly dipped donut to try for free! My husband is not easily impressed yet he asked that I write this review. You will not regret coming here! We will be back!

This is literally the best donut and breakfast croissant sandwich shop with amazing customer service.

I couldn't be more happier with this cute delicious place. I think I've tried every vegan flavor even pumpkin pie which is my favorite. The cake is so light and fluffy, not too over whelmingly sweet. My fiance loves there old fashion plain. Perfectly crispy on the edges. The prices are the least of your worries. 1 vegan pumpkin pie donut and 1 plain old fashion $4. We drive from Anaheim garden grove just to get a donut. Thank you for your deliciousness

Phenomenal donuts but I feel the creativity isn?t what it used to be. Sometimes a very friendly cashier and sometimes not so friendly

Great donuts for a great price. Soft and airy dough stuffed to the brim with delicious fillings. Huge donuts with huge flavor, huge fan of the creme brulee donut especially, what a perfect shell!. Staff was super friendly too and happy to make recommendations!

Love this place, much rather come here than Krispy Kreme.

My two sons and I went in the but a Homer Simpson donut and share it. The person working saw my 3 and 2 year old boys and gave them free kids donuts. It was so sweet and kind of him! He was as fabulous and sweet as the Homer Simpson donut we had! Thank you, Crafted Donut! We will be back!

Well, they replaced the Donut Bar that used to be in that location, and mimic most of the donuts that were offered, but they are not the donut bar. They aren't bad though, just not the same. Overall they were good. Still pricey. Beautifully made, and nicely displayed. I was a little underwhelmed by the monte cristo, I expected better. I also didn't care for the jelly inside the peanut butter and jelly donut, it's just a cheap mass produced red goo, if it had been real jelly it would have been an awesome don

Very pleasant place to get when craving something sweet... and this place is great very good selection of donuts and drinks. These are not full of air like others but full.of flavor and what is the most important Not too sweet!. Ask for Destiny she will make sure you get the good stuff. A+++++++++++++++++++++ in quality and service ??

Best donut shop hands down! Love all the amazing kinds of donuts offered here. Wonderful customer service and delicious donuts. Their Simpsons donut was a hit with our granddaughter...it was as big as her face and looked just like the one from The Simpsons. They had a pop tart donut one of the times we ate there. I picked that one and it was so good...had a whole pop tart in the middle of it. Their selection ranges from simple donuts to over the top ones. Give Crafted Donuts a try...you will not be disappo

Delicious donuts. A wonderful mix of donuts, art and flavor!

It?s a really nice and friendly place to go to, I always got here with my kids and gather are always very welcoming! They have the most delicious and beautiful donuts ever and cleanest cafe I have ever been to and has so far been one of the best places I have ever went to with my kids.

I agree with some other patrons...this place is just not the same since the name and owner's changed. The donuts are still decent quality, but the service is severely lacking in comparison to the Donut Bar (previous name). I made a special order for a birthday almost a month in advance and it was confirmed with us two weeks prior. When I arrived for pick up the day of, the order was nowhere to be found. The staff member had no explanation and no knowledge of the situation. I gave her my information and aske

Their donuts are ok. I've definitely had way better ones. Worth a try though if you're into fancy donuts. Haven't really tried anything else on their menu

Absolutely loved it! Amazing donuts and great service! Pretty inexpensive for a gourmet donut. Most donuts are priced $2 to $3 bucks. For those of you complaining about price, you're crazy- this ain't no Daily Donut. All I gotta say is Maple Bacon... Mmmm!!!

Donuts are a bit pricey, but make up for it in sheer decadence. Bought a dozen and came out to 38 bucks. At least a free coffee was included to make me feel better about it. Overall solid spot for donuts and donut related beverages including cold pressed coffee.

I love crafted donuts. The donuts are huge, soft, and super tasty. They have a great variety of designer styles and flavors. If you are in The OC this is a definite must try!

Next Level is all I can say. If you are a donut snob, this is your place. A Absolute must try if you are a donut person, you know who you are ??

This place is amazing! Literally some of the best donuts I've tried. Their banana cream pie donut ?? is delicious! Great customer service ?? Definitely worth a try.

This place in Fountain Valley is right next door to my work. I would give them 4 stars it they hadn't stopped making my favorite donut, Mexican hot Chocolate. The girl told me that they stopped making them and that to request that they make it I would need to buy 6 of them. So frustrating this donut is the reason I come here.

The donuts are, "to die for". I had an awesome breakfast sandwich. Picked up my sandwich & donuts, then got coffee and a seat at the coffee shop next door. Great combination for donuts & coffee.

Great ambience, friendly service? Donuts look amazing

Yummy donuts. A bit expensive but the biscoff donut is worth it.

I absolutely love the donuts here. My favorite is probably the PB&J donut but that can change from day to day. If you can get happy hour bonus it's even better. My favourite go to for craft donuts in the OC.

Amazing donuts! They are big, so I recommend estimating half a donut each person, but they are definitely capable of feeding more than two people each. I got 6 for my department of 8 and we had some peices left over (we cut them up and tried a little of each). I highly recommend the Poptart donut (only served thurs-sun) and the reese's donut.

Unbelievable donuts. This is the best in SoCal. I brought home 6 for my 3 kids and they were gone in 10 minutes. Next door to Coffee Bean & tea. We will be back.

The customer service itself makes me keep wanting to come back! The donuts are so fluffy and so much variety to chose from, and their breakfast croissants are my favorite! I love this place

How do they come up with the ideas for new flavors!?! Donuts are fresh and delicious. Staff is super friendly and courteous. Restaurant is kept extremely clean!

Best Donuts in OC The Breakfast Sandwiches come in clutch every mornings before Work Their Drinks are Delicious! Gotta try the Super Green

This place is just not the same anymore since they changed their name and owners. It's not the "Donut Bar" experience I've been accustomed to, the employees are just sitting around having personal conversations not providing information about the donuts, may be it's the night crew but it's not the same anymore, the donuts were good but the service was not. I'll be looking elsewhere now or just wait until I visit SD or LV for the real Donut Bar experience.

Great fresh juices! 20oz for $8 & large selection for donuts. They have vegan options too

Outstanding. Favorite donut spot

Fun staff, great donuts. I love how unique this place is. The donuts had great flavor and designs. I?d go back if I was in town.

These donuts are very yummy. They must use a quality oil because unlike most donuts these don't have that icky after taste. A treat for sure!

The Best thing about Crafted Doughnuts is their croissant sandwiches.. The ham, bacon, cheese egg with spicy mayonnaise is absolutely FIRE!! SO good!

Excellent Juices and Donuts! Highly reccomended.
