I love their croissant egg,cheese,bacon & ham for only $6.50 AMAZING!!!!! I am hooked THANKS RENE

The lady behind the counter was very nice. I ordered a chocolate bar donut and it was really yummy, she also gave me an extra half a donut. I sat inside to eat and multiple times I saw people walk in who were very obviously regulars, she said their order asking if that's what they wanted, she also gave them extra donuts as well.

Great place come and check it out.

First I?d like to say I?ve known the owner and their family of this donut shop for 25 years now. And the quality of their donuts, bagels,drinks, and fruit is excellent and 100% fresh. It?s a family business that they?ve had for decades now & this is their original location. If you want good donuts, bagels, or fruit for your breakfast any day of the week, then you should stop by Renee?s donut shop on Lakeview in Anaheim by the 91 freeway. I promise you it is worth your money, and you will be coming back for

Really great donuts and conveniently placed right off the 91 freeway. I always receive excellent service when I go there and everything is reasonably priced. Definitely one of my favorite donut places!

Great tasting donuts and excellent service! Super cheap too for what you get. Definitely making this place a regular stop for me.

Used to be good but now they don't change their frying oils frequently so the donuts are super oily and taste like oil. Sad because I used to love this place.

Family owned and sell dohnuts and other breakfast type items. Coffee and tons of drinks from sodas to water to milk. Quick and easy, but only take cash so make sure you have some.

Really wish it wasn't cash only and the ATM inside will obviously charge.

Donuts here are amazing! The shop is close to my work and has always been a great place to grab a bite.

I love their jalape?o ham and cheese croissants and their double chocolate cake with peanuts on top is always delicious!

Donuts are really oily, you can taste the oil

Usually not a big fan of donut, but when I crave for some donuts, I always go here to eat. Friendly staff and great donut

It's a little store in a cozy neighborhood. Shops like these are going extinct nowadays.

They have great coffee and the donuts are really good too.

I come to this shop every day to eat! I love their ham and cheese

Donuts are ok, actually it was kinda stale. I'll still give them another chance and let you know.

One thing I like about this place is how friendly the staff is. I always feel like coming here whenever I visit home.

The lady behind the counter is soooooo not friendly. The donuts are okay.

Clerk had attitude. Doughnuts like store brands.
