Mitchell’s Donuts

I decided to get a dozen doughnuts for my work and remembered this place had a drive thru on the way to my moms dropping my daughter off. 1^st I found out you couldn’t get eclairs in a dozen since they’re $ 1.75 each so I asked to get 1 separately for my self and was told «it takes too long to make» this was 6 am on Wednesday morning the busiest hrs for doughnuts and no éclairs. Find so I asked for reg dozen and was told $ 10 I thought to myself that’s expensive for dozen, well maybe prices gone up since I last bought. I listen to myself cancelled and went somewhere else drove down the block to Olympic doughnuts off temple city and lower azusa, got a dozen with éclairs for only $ 7.95 and got my daughter what she wanted for under $ 10.

Came late at night, the worst time for donuts unless they’re cooking them around the clock so the donuts I got were just ok. They weren’t terrible so that’s a good sign but they had been sitting around all day. Open late so that’s gtg. Think they told me they closed at 2300.

I’ve passed by Mitchell’s Donuts all the time but I have never went until recently when I bought a dozen donuts for my department at work as well as a few ham and cheese croissants. Yum! Though I got here around 7am and still was about the 3^rd car for the drive-​thru, I still waited about 10 mins until I finally got my order in. Some people who went up to order instead of using the drive-​thru got their order before some of us who were waiting at the drive-​thru. So next time you see a line at the drive-​thru, probably should walk up to the window because you might get your order faster and before the drivers.
I ordered their dozen assortment donuts. You can tell they were fresh though I’m not sure about what happens towards the day. She got the donuts from the rack and they came out hot ready to go. Since I ordered the donuts for the department, I wasn’t able to get a taste of their chocolate or glazed donuts. I did however take a bite into a pink frosting donut and it was good. However, if you’re not a donut person, I suggest you order their ham and cheese croissant or their jalapeño ham and cheese croissant. Definitely one of the best places I’ve gone to for those. Plenty of ham/​cheese but the jalapeño gives your ham and cheese croissant a kick if you love spice. I’ve never had a jalapeño ham and cheese croissant anywhere else so I can’t really compare but this croissant had plenty of jalapenos to it. $ 12.xx for a box of dozen assorted donuts and 3 ham and cheese croissants? Good deal!

Best ham and cheese croissant. Very large donut sizes compared to other places and super fresh. Love the drive thru service provided and have never waited in line for service. Super friendly and great prices. My go to place for donuts!

I was in need of picking up some type of indulgent quick dessert tonight and I thought Donut… while heading up Baldwin Ave off the 10 fwy I had remembered from high school the drive thru donut shop right on Valley Blvd off of Baldwin Ave. It was still there and looked the same!
It was cool because I was on a business call and couldn’t hang up and this is one of the few donuts shops that I know has a drive thru! Sweet! At 6pm at night I was surprised of the selection of fresh donuts on their shelves as usually after 6pm is DO NOT DONUTS… as most are made in the morning and it means they have been sitting most of the day.
But these were good — to keep it simple I asked the friendly owner who realized I was on the phone in the car and whispered what I would like — I ordered a dozen twists and bars. When I got home everyone was really happy how fresh they were! I am definitely going back one morning to get my morning donut fix and coffee. The other donuts in the case looked great too and the prices are still reasonable!
Only prob is the limited size of the parking lot but the drive thru well makes up for it by adding convenience to getting your donut fix. Tough to make the left turn off of Valley though so you might need to U-​turn it up the street but lots of cool hole in the wall asian and mexican joints around. The neighborhood might be a little shifty at night because of the motels, etc. but go early and it is fine.

Dinosaur donuts! Gigantic… Bear Claws the size of real bears.
Coffee is not at the level of Peets, but consider this a real find…
Makes Dunkin Donuts look like a ripoff.
Don’t be put off by the location on E Valley Road, as this one is a local favorite.

This place has the best chocolate old fashioned donuts on the planet! You have to come about midnight to get them hot… mmmmmmmmm! Guaranteed! Also the buttermilk donuts, chocolate cakes, etc. get them fresh though or its not the same.

The worse experience at a donut shop ever! i went thru the drive thru one morning and ordered $ 1 of donut holes because I like holes better than a whole. They must have though I was cheap or something because they gave me leftover unfresh donuts. Beware!

This place deserves two doughy nuts … ok maybe three. Their glazed donuts are the perfect sweetness, fluffy and only cost 70 cents each … it may break your wallet for the maple bar (80 cents,) but well worth it for an extra long donut twist to let the highlight of your work day last a little longer. Come on, spill the 10 cents for 10 minutes more of ultimate sugary pleasure.
There’s a drive thru window and there’s always a line of cars in the morning. Only complaint is that it’s off a busy street and there’s a super small lot. Wait, did I just describe every other donut shop? Probably.
