Winchells Donuts

They have really good donuts here and bagels and sandwiches as well !! Very fresh stuff here !! I highly recommend them

Something about their donuts are different than most places, and I dont like it that much. It’s the texture I believe. I go once in a while if my family wants donuts late at night, but that’s it. Also, they raised their prices. Almost $ 10 for a dozen. Overall they aren’t bad, just not my liking.

Ive been coming to this donut shop since i was a little girl and now that ive moved away from the city of orange every so often i drive back just to get my dozen of donuts for my family and my yummy bagel! This winchel is the best by far! Ive been to other locations but nothing can compare. I have a winchels donut shop only 10 mins away from me but i drive 20 mins just to come back to this location. Their donuts always look fresh and taste the best!!!

This place drives me nuts. They always run low or are out of chocolate donuts. DK’s is so much better.

Always crowded with at least four people ahead of me.
I love that they have bagel sandwiches and fresh fruit juices too, like beets with carrots. The staff is nice and friendly.

This is the OC. The vegans and glutenites are at war. Mothers Market and Sprouts shine a warm condescending glow of righteousness on my bag o’ Winchells. The Whole Foods mothership presses its smug advance, and I’m reminded to consume a $ 12 green drink or die a toxic death.
Like Sprouts, like the NSA, they see all. (I envision Whole Foods board of directors are hot soccer moms who just purchased a sleek eco-​friendly stroller, and they watch me from their space satellite spy stations as I load up my Target brand stroller with swap meet goods, and they judge me. None really mind, because the women leaving their Whole Foods are fit and something wonderful encourages them to continue wearing yoga pants. But this is not about the NSA or moms. This is much bigger. This is about the war on gluten.)
So I strap on compression shorts and overdose on protein shakes. But when the dust settles. I mean, what it all comes down to, is 11 pm, and… the war is lost. I will shun the green drink. I will drive all the way down Tustin Avenue for an apple fritter. And Winchells serves em up. Delish. Two more comments: 80-​cent large coke. yes. And mini donuts. yes indeed. You have to buy 6, but its super healthier than eating big donuts.
Criticizing a Winchells cashier is like criticizing a duck. But even a duck wouldn’t let my daughter stand at the counter for five minutes wanting a straw, seeing her but ignoring her until she cried. No, the duck would swim on over and be like
«How may I help you princess? Would you like to pet my feathers?»
«No thank you, duck, I would just like a straw and some napkins because I’m not tall enough to reach them.»
«Sure thing lovely child. Here is a straw and napkin stack. Quack!»
You see, Winchells cashier? Lessons from a friggin duck.

$ 8.99 for a dozen… plus two more! Found this little donut shop while on vacation & there was a line… that’s how the hubby knew it was good! Great variety of donuts & also bagels. We got the dozen & I had a Bacon & Avocado Xtreme Melt. Delicious! Would recommend to all of our friends!

No sugar doughnuts and their donuts always taste stale. I avoid this Winchells because I don’t think it stacks up to other Winchells I’ve been to.

I’ve been coming to this donut shop since I was a little girl! They’ve always had fresh donuts and delicious bagels. The great thing about this place is that it is open ²⁴⁄₇. I myself have a sweet tooth and this place definitely satisfies. Try the Jelly Donuts, Apple Fritters, and Hot Chocolate!

What a joke. I stood in a huge line for 20 minutes without being helped and then they told me I was in the wrong line. Funny thing is they helped the Spanish speaking people behind me. I will NEVER return here.

24-​hour doughnut shop with coffee, smoothies, and more. It wasn’t too busy when we went at 8:00pm. I wish they had cream filled doughnuts though.

One of maybe the last remaining businesses of my childhood. I’m so glad to see this location still open and thriving. I waited for 7 minutes for a Winchell’s Dozen (14 donuts) and would do it again without thinking twice.
It’s on my list of things to do when I go back home. I had friends here in AZ place orders for my next trip. They haven’t seen or heard of a Winchell’s in years and loved the cake donut I brought back. Really they loved all the donuts, even after 5 days the donuts were still good.
Clean interior and it looked like a great place to sit and enjoy the treats they serve.
~& Yes I did order in ENGLISH~ & they understood everybit of it.

One of the best donut shops out there… this one has modern chairs & tables, it’s well kept & doesn’t just serve donuts but is part Deli too w/​a toaster oven for those who like things toasted. There’s also a nice big screen on the back wall.
I tried the dusted Oreo donut & it was pretty good… the Oreo flavor wasn’t very pronounced… I think it would be cool to have an Oreo filled donut… then you’d for sure be able to taste the Oreo.
The apple filled was just right… they didn’t have my usual so I also got the apple filled & it was just right. If I lived nearly, I’d go here for all my donut cravings.

I LOVE WINCHELL’S COFFEE!!! However, the service at this location is seriously lacking. The way they handle the flow of business is archaic. If you want a cup of coffee and a donut it shouldn’t take 10 minutes. I like the idea of fresh items at breakfast, but I have left this store several times because if you order behind someone that ordes a ham and cheese croissant, you are going to wait for them to get their ham and cheese croissant made fresh.
Donut shops are something you stop into on the run, not a breakfast destination.

Really strong coffee and fresh donuts

3 AM and me and the crew (the work crew, that is) need a sugar fried food fix to last the next 4 hours before we can go home. This is primo destination.
Pluses
1) At around this time, the donuts are fresh and some are still warm. Best time to do it.
2) All the best donuts you can shake a stick at. Bars, crullers, cream-​filled, jelly-​filled, glazed, choco-​glazed etc. etc. etc. It’s enough to choke you senseless and knock you into a sugar-​dazed coma.
3) They make bagel breakfast sandwiches! Check it out!
4) They make coffee, and for the fraction of the price compared to the Naked Mermaid with two tails. What were they smoking when they made that corporate logo?
5) The dangerous donut holes. It’s easy to eat 8 and not know you ate 8. Get it? Seriously though, 8 donut holes is… I dunno how many, but that’s a donut or so. Never drive while you have an open bag of donut holes. You will EAT them when you hit every red light. I warned you!
6) Get those buy 6, get 6 free or buy one dozen, get another one free coupons from your local mailers. Keep an eye out for them!
Minuses
1) The neighborhood. Spooky at 3 AM. Bring a bodyguard, or a thugish co-​worker, which I do.
2) I don’t know when they make fresh ones, so someone needs to ask when those are. Donuts are NOT good when they’re OLD and STALE. Keep that in mind. If you come in at an odd hour, any donut will be OLD and STALE.
One more thing: There is another donut store nearby. I won’t mention the name, but, and this is a big but, they don’t take plastic. I made the mistake of going there one time and left empty-​handed. I don’t normally take cash. Keep that in mind.
Go Donut Holes! (giggle)

Came here at 1030 at night craving something sweet. First time I’ve ever been to a Winchell’s and I’m sure I’ll come back. I like the fact that this place is open 24 hours and serves some mildly healthy food like sandwiches. Most places open 24 hour are just fast food places.
I had a couple mini donuts. They weren’t the freshest donuts, but I expected that being 1030 at night. But they weren’t as stale as the other Unilocaler claims.

Their donuts are always fresh and good.
I tried their Ice Hazelnut Coffee, it was VERY good.

Not Stale Not Stale NOT STALE!!!
Im sorry the first reviewer, had a bad experience, but I just came here today around 5oclock (not typical donut eating hours) and they were super fresh! The lady was nice. My crossiant was yummy and buttery. I got so greedy, I ate 2 spiral doughnuts and now im sick from the sugar intake LOL. But it was worth it!!!
I’ll come back to try their sandwiches and breakfast sammies too mmmmmmmm.

STALE Donuts!!! THIS SUCKS!!! Want some STALE donuts in the evening? Come here!
~~Good Fresh Juice
This is a Winchell’s Deli. Yup, they have fresh orange juice. The freshly squeezed OJ will run you about 3 bucks for a nice helping. This product is 5 stars all the way. I don’t think it’s offered at other Winchell’s. They have other fresh juices also, including carrot. I came around 730 PM. I was assured the donuts were good, even though they were made that morning.
~~Why would they sell stale donuts?
My issue is that they should not sell stale donuts. It used to be some donut places baked two batches a day, especially on the weekends. Not this place. They were the most stale donuts I have ever had. How can they charge full price? I took a bite of each one and trashed them. The most stale were the donut holes with custard. They are advertised as «Puffs» and «6 for 1.69.» They left out the word STALE!
I spent 14 bucks here. Drove home. Tried them. STALE STALE STALE. How do I get my money back? Drive and waste 8 bucks in gas? This sucks. I bet these donuts were good when they were made. Why would they sell these in the evening and their worker say they were good?
Even though the OJ was sweet, the stale donuts left a very sour taste in my mouth. This sucks. 10 bucks in donuts down the drain. THIS SUCKS, SUCKS, SUCKS, and SUCKS!
