Customer Reviews

So fresh and perfectly warm. Best donut shop in town. Each morning donuts are baked fresh daily. Donuts from the previous day are never under the glass to be hopefully slipped in like far too many donut shops are guilty of. I never have to worry or second guess when the donut i purchased was baked.

Kevin did a wonderful custom order job for my daughter?s hello kitty themed birthday! Great service and delicious doughnuts! I highly recommend using his services for your future events! Thank you so much for making my daughter?s day so special and memorable!

They are the best in Brea and Diamond Bar. They also teach you how to speak in their language. As a customer, that's unique. Thank you, you guys are the best.And it's white donuts, fresh made donuts every day and coffee to guarantee you won'regret it.The owner now there is my buddy.God bless your business

Donuts at the office were a big hit! Everyone was asking where the donuts were from! Sweet, fresh dough, no after taste. My new favorite spot in the neighborhood! Friendly owners. I recommend - you wont regret it.

One bonus to my office being around the corner is being able to quickly swing by and get some of the best and freshest donuts around. I will always recommend this 0lace if nothing else just for the donuts. However, the customer service is top notch. You cannot go wrong with Sy Donuts.

We found this donut shop about two years ago when our son started his private tennis lessons in Brea. It was by accident when looking for some coffee and donuts while waiting during the lessons. They by far have the freshest donuts around. When I say ?around?, ?I live in Downey near a Randy's donut and I make the 23 miles trip to Brea for these fresh pieces of goodness at SY donuts. We always get at a minimum one dozen. As you can see this time we got two dozen one for the in-laws, didn't want to share this

I?ve been coming here for years. Bo and Jenny were great, and Kevin, who is running it now. It?s also doing a fantastic job offering new options. They are super generous and friendly!

I Love this place perfect location my stop before going to work. And a BIG THANK YOU for my special order the cream puff ever.

Incredibly nice staff! Great food and quick service

Get in, get out, and get on your way. Great donuts and efficient than friendly customer service. Not much more to say than that

Sy's is a good value old school donut shop. The prices are very reasonable and the selection is good. They also have donut holes with sprinkles, which is great for the little ones. It's got a small seating area, and a good beverage selection as well. Their hours are early riser friendly and I've never had an issue with the freshness of any of their donuts. The proprietor and his wife are attentive if not overly chatty. This is our go-to local donut shop on weekends and will continue to be.

I?ve come here since I was a kid and I didn?t realize until I was older how much I took being walking distance from the best donut store ever for granted. I used to think they were just my local donut store, but they are so much more than that! All their donuts are great, but I am always finding myself comparing the glaze of other donut shops with Sy?s. Nothing had beat or matched their glazed donuts! The donuts here are always fresh and fluffy. You won?t regret going here!

Omg so yummy croissants they are the best

#1 Not friendly #2 Over priced I Googled this place to find another donut shop for a Ham and cheese croissant. The ham and cheese was mediocre. Other shops that I've been going to since I moved into the area,Are the same price But his are lacking The main ingredient which is ham and cheese. It had scraggles of ham meaning it had about half a slice of ham but broken up into little pieces no flavor nothing on this ham and cheese. 2 thumbs down and never coming back again. Hope they learn how to make a bett

This is an honest review. I really want to like this place, it is conveniently close to my job and.. well, they have doughnuts! I have worked in this area for 8 years so I have visited this place on and off for the past 8 years. This is not based on a single visit. First and foremost, every time I walk in here, the couple behind the counter (the owners, I assume) act like they're doing me a favor by selling me their product. No matter how cheerful and polite I am, it is not reciprocated, which makes me

Love the donuts. They are supplied by Bakemark, by far the best ingredients. Does ma & PA have the best customer service... No. But, once you see them consistently, they open up. And their coffee is great!

Rushed in for a coffee and donut. I didn't have cash so I attempted to use my debit only to be denied because my total amount was too low. I would've paid the card fee, but the rude cashier wasn't having it. There are plenty of other donut shops in the area.. Gladly taking my business elsewhere. Don't waste your time here.

Best Donut's in Brea!! Great independently owned donut shop!! They remember your order after you go a few times! And the best is they make a cronut!! And french crullers!! I haven't been able to find another donut shop that does that!! Well worth the drive & stop! But get there early, they sell out of these!

Love love love these donuts! I also recommend trying their iced Banana Coffee

Donuts are very good. Better than most donut shops. Prices have gone up and service is hardly friendly. Luckily, the donuts are good enough to overlook the almost rude owners so I will continue to stop by.

Fresh and delicious! Always nice to have a place with great doughnuts down the street. Would be 5 stars if open a little longer. Still just as good as ever =)..

Let's just say customer service was horrible! I said "hello" as we walked in, no response from the person behind the counter. Very sad it was my first and last time. Also when I asked for box since I was getting a dozen donuts his attitude was very rude. I love to support our local businesses, but respect and common curiosity goes both ways.

Bo and Jenny are so friendly, and their donuts are so fresh! I get my hazelnut coffee there before work. I'm in and out quickly.

Yummy, friendly and affordable, and they do a surprisingly good iced coffee. I don't get the comments about the owners not being nice, i've been eating here for years and they're always pleasant/efficient.

Been here for just about 30 years. Same owner who is often there everyday. Always a pleasure to stop in for a fresh donut and a smile

Good Donut shop, Sorry to part ways after 10 years, but I am not going in to a place of business where no Masks are required. We got to start taking care of each other. One star for the Donut.

This is my new favourite donut stop shop whatever you want to call it friendly staff awesome selection and they make some of the best donuts around You're craving something sweet on the weekends this place has got you covered

This place is just meh. These donuts are the same as any other average donut shop. It's like all these shops are using the recipe.

The worst of the worst. Very bad service, poor customer service, and while I sat there I could hear the guy screaming at an employee in the back. I left, but I tried to see where they were, but couldn't.

Doughnuts are average good very rude staff won't go there again taking my business to 7-11
