Exactly how vegan donuts should be

This place is a gem. The donuts are fantastic and there are lots of vegan flavors to choose from, including both cake & yeasted donuts. The jelly donut and maple bar were my favorites! Worth the drive!!

Stupid good

Delicious donuts and friendly staff. Ridiculously good fritters. Price is somewhat reasonable in today’s economy. Well worth it for donut lovers who miss that junk food-y greasy donut taste (I know I’m not selling it but it just tastes like a good sugary donut) 10/10 wish it was a fully vegan place

Pros: Delicious sugary donuts, Lots of options thatdon’t feel like an afterthough, Friendly staff

Cons: No public restroom , Small parking lot , Non-vegan establishment

Yummy Vegan Donuts

What can I say? I’m a sucker for donuts! Very tasty, in fact better than an average non-vegan donut without the guilt of cruelty.

Amazing vegan options

The vegan donuts here are really good. There is no way they could improve except to make them free.
They have glazed, jelly- and custard-filled, bear claws, cake - any kind you can think of.

Pros: Every vegan donuts option you can imagine, Friendly staff/open 24/7, Great parking

Cons: There are none

Good selection of Vegan doughnuts

I came to Friendly Donuts to see what Vegan doughnuts they had. For a small shop they had quite a selection. I had a Boston cream filled, Chocolate Oreo, chocolate bar, and a coconut. It was late in the day but the doughnuts were still really good. I'm eager to come in the morning when everything should be fresh and a bigger selection.

Surprising selection of vegan donuts


Having lived in Orange for years I got used to not having any vegan donut offerings around. I’m glad that in 2021 they decided to expand their cases to include some good vegan donuts and apple fritters.

They could add vegan savory foods.

Pros: Open 24hrs, Variety of donut options, Dairy free drinks

Cons: No place to sit, No mask enforcement

Good nearby

Closest vegan donuts (that deserve to be called donuts) in Irvine/Tustin/Santa Ana area after vegans drove to proper LA or Huntington Beach for years...these are the real deal, delicious, and not overpriced like other vegan donut imposters

Shockingly good!

Shockingly good vegan donuts!!!! Thank you for having these for us. We bought glazed, maple bar, chocolate bar, Boston Cream, and Apple Fritter.

We are so excited. Service is also friendly such as the name.

Please call first if you are interested to get the vegan ones. Or come after 1pm. They have cake donuts too but generally we like the raised ones.

Pros: Taste, Variety, Close to home
