This place definitely has the best donuts! If you stop by be sure to try their grilled cheese, it is delicious. I drive an hour every once in a while to pick up donuts from here and it is very well worth it, just try to make here early because they do run out. My kids and I love it 🥰 The staff is super friendly and quick. A must try if you like donuts!!! Don’t forget your merch 😉
We stopped by Donut Bar yesterday and I was so happy because I’ve wanted to check this place out for a while. The donuts look delicious although we came for the local beer. We chilled in the outside seating area and enjoyed our visit. I love the design and lighting on the inside and that they have a donut called the Homer and it looks just like the one in the Simpson’s. I can’t wait to buy a few dozen for my team! Definitely check this place out :)
I was and about and found all this places in one block radius lol the donut Bar has amazing donuts and huge I say, lots of options my favorite the pop tart donut yes you heard it a pop tart inside the donut, I also got the horchata donut, the cinnamon donut which I’m yet to try. They got merge to buy and customer service it’s ok
Hands down. BEST Donut place in Riverside. Everyone is so nice when you walk in, and are so patient as you are trying to decide whether you want to buy all the donuts or not. 😁Their donuts are so good and so fresh. And what makes them even better, they serve booze! Which kind of sounds like a weird combo, but its really not. Especially on a Sunday funday. 😉 I recommend this place to all my friends. If you havent tried this place yet....you gotta!!!
Super fancy donut place! Their donuts are pleasantly larger than expected and very tasty!
We loved It! The donuts were delicious, huge and very reasonably priced! We will be returning for more soon!My Creme Brulee donut was too delicious to waste a minute taking a pic..Ill have to go back and get a 🍺.
Be prepared to stand in line! Also the earlier you arrive the better chance of grabbing great selections of everything. We went in at 9 on a Saturday morning and it was perfect for us, they still had their full selection of donuts. Our first visit and we grabbed 10 different donuts, they gave us a free sponge bob donut for our 3yr old, he loved that!Great customer service, they were quick with each client, making the line move smoothly and quickly. Place was super clean and cute layout. Even their bathroom was entertaining with Homer Simpson artwork on the walls!
Its in a great location in downtown riverside. Theres so much to do and see. Its a very nice setting to enjoy and delicious donut! Their coffees are delicious and they have an amazing donut flavor line. Theres also great merch for customers to purchase, from coffee cups to donut socks 🥰 I have been trying to try this place for a while & trust me, it was definitely worth the wait! Great customer service as well!
The donuts are fine. Don’t come here if your just looking for a simple dozen donut. All the donuts are very unique. They even have vegan donuts. I suppose if you’d like to spend 5 dollars on dough and frosting you can or you could do that for a lot cheaper at a regular donut shop. The cake of the donut is very similar to other donut shops. The donuts are definitely large. Parking here is pretty bad, it’s at least 2 blocks unless your able to snag a spot in front. So parking is terrible. It’s a bar too. I didn’t try any of the drinks so maybe my review would have been different had I had a beer and a donut. The vegan donuts are very good though, it’s very hard to find that combination. It’s definitely expensive. Was about $35 for 6 donuts.
Best donuts in town! Love the beautiful and unique donuts there and the friendly service. We are always greeted with a smile 😃. Definitely worth checking out if you live in or are visiting Riverside.
We heard about this place online and had to come check it out. Fantastic selection, and above and beyond customer service! A girl named Tori helped us pick out some delicious vegan options (we got the strawberry split and the matcha green tea donuts) and we definitely were not disappointed! Well worth the drive and the money! Stay for the mimosas too! We will definitely be returning customers!
Donut Bar is a trendy new donut shop in downtown Riverside. The donuts are humongous! My favorite was the creme brulee donut. It had a crispy caramel topping and creme inside. It also wasnt too huge, so I didnt feel terrible about eating the whole thing. We came with our dogs, so I enjoyed that they had an outdoor patio area. I took off a star because the cinnamon roll was a bit flavor less. I feel like it would have been better with some cream cheese icing. Also, my husbands coffee he got was cold at 9am on a Sunday morning. The bathrooms were impeccibly clean and were blasting fun music. We will definitely go again, and I want to try the strawberry split donut next time.
Wonderful place for a girls night out. The donuts were fluffy and delicious and the Nordic IPA was a great pair. Will definitely be going again soon!
Old fashioned maple glaze... Still taste like maple glaze even with their vanilla bean icing. Just a little dry but they open Early. I was there at 11am
The staff was very nice. They didnt rush you through, and make you feel like your just a number. In fact, it was my first time there and they were great. I had the strawberry split first and omg AWESOME. GREAT JOB! GREAT SERVICE! I hope this doesnt change. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! #donutbar #strawberrysplit
Had some delicious specialty donuts today! My daughter loves the giant pink sprinkle donut every time we go (the Homer) and I enjoy trying the different donuts they have.
A must visit. The most unique donuts Ive ever seen. They are very delicious too.
Best Beer and the freshest Donuts in Southern California. Check them out online you can order them to have them custom made for you the day you come in.
My first time here and I am loved it.The ice coffee caramel is amazing delicious and the donuts are the same .Come and check it out .you will not be dissapointed.The Bar is super clean and the employees are very courteous and friendly.
Was there at 10AM and there were still plenty of donuts left! The donuts are run large and one is enough to feed 2 people. I got a pumpkin spice donut that was pretty good, but lacked the pumpkin spice. The poptart donut actually had a whole poptart in it, it was interesting and one of my favorites. The samoa donut had everything that made it a samoa but it didnt quite taste like one. The cinnamon roll was very interesting! The texture was almost like a scone instead of the traditional bread like roll.Theres a fully functioning bar serving alcoholic drinks too! They have growlers, Im not sure if you can bring your own growler to fill though.Overall, Donut Bar is an interesting place for a once in a while sweet treat.
Delicious donuts, great prices and wonderful service!
Best donuts ever! The donuts are super cute, but even better, there was very yummy! This is a great spot for all ages. You got a love that your kids can get strawberry milk, and a unicorn doughnut... and adults can get a yummy doughnut and coffee or a beer! We love it here! The staffs were nice too!
Great place, great selection, great creations, great drinks... And good live music to boot... Ill definitely be back soon!
Tried a creme brulee donut and a homer donut today. Both were absolutely delicious!! Thank you guys for making such high-quality donuts!!!
Nice variety, exotic ingredients, excellent service. Cant wait to come back and try another.
Solid location. Like other donut bar locations, great donuts, friendly service.
A pretty different take on a Southern California donut shop. From outside its tinted windows, you cant see what an interesting array of donut flavors are available, but once inside you appreciate what a unique donut shop Donut Bar is. Flavors ranging from Cake Frosting (which I tried) to Creme Brule, will likely offer something for everyones palate.
Let me first start with first, I had no idea what this place was going to be like when I saw construction beginning. I figured it would be a donut shop with an overpriced gimmick or something like the other big dessert places (Creamistry, etc). After my first time in, I was hooked!Between the excellent and prompt service, the selection of donuts and coffee that they had, and the general psychedelic aesthetic they have going on inside? Definitely a recipe for success. Let me also say that even though these donuts can be on the pricer side ($3-5 range), theyre absolutely worth it.Im a big fan of the Simpsons, and when I saw they had a Homer donut like the one at Universal Studios (that doesnt cost 14 freaking dollars AND tastes better!) I had to have it and my taste buds were not disappointed. Im writing this review after my 5th visit to this store, and this visit was to grab some of these delectables for my coworkers. They absolutely LOVE them.Donut Bar, I salute you and hope that youre here for a long, long time.My ONE critique that I will leave though is that I wish there were a keto friendly option- but given the nature of the actual product that would be hard to do and maintain flavor and profitability. Maybe another day!
The good thing about this place is having a bar and live music with a really nice patio. As far as the donuts is concerned there is nothing special about them. Yes they are bigger and presentation is ok but taste and quality is same than Dunking donuts. We had the Nutella donuts that tasted like cheap chocolate. No Nutella flavor at all
The donuts were NOT worth the money. Paid 20+ dollars for 5 donuts - all of which were very dry! The creme brûlée donut topping tasted very burnt. Don’t waste your money.
Wont warm up your donuts in a microwave. $3 per donut and no warm up??? Lame.
You have to go early and often. They made different donuts each day. The beer is great too, they tend to run in the sweet side, so its also an excellent dessert. My only disappointed moments are when I show up at noon and theyre closed, knowing full well donuts are a morning activity. But, afternoon beer... Doh!
Awesome donuts, Marshmallow Stout with Marshmallow Rim! (Amazing)
Great service, great coffee & very good donuts 👍👍
It wasnt busy. Limited selection of product. Pleasant server
Waited in line for a bit, but definitely worth the experience. The donuts were pretty good, and definitely more fancy or creatives than youll get at the local donut shop. Youre looking at a out $3-5 for a donut, but the price makes sense given the size, amount of topping/filling, and time needed for the intricate decorations. Coffee was well priced and tasted good, as well. Definitely plan on going back and trying the donut with a poptart inside.
Omg their coffee is bitter af. Got the raspberry cheesecake donut, was just a jelly donut. Looks pretty tastes awful. Lady serving us didnt speak clear enough English to figure out what she said when asked if they have breakfast sandwiches. Management was hosting an interview on the side so ringing out took a second, maybe I complain alot...maybe Im just a plain donut kinda guy.
Staff was friendly and patient while we perused the many varieties available. Donuts were delicious and inspired a return trip. Excited to go back and try more!
Get there when they open if you want the strawberry donut. They always sell out.
Over packaging their items. We bought 2 delicious donuts and they put them in a dozen box....their trash cans outside were overfilled with donut boxes. 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩
This is one of the best yummy unique Donut hangout in town! Great staffs and cheers to the owner!
Really nice clean place! Friendly staff! Big 🍩 but nothing special.
Doughnuts are excellent and the coffees ☕ is great
Beer and donuts in the morning is my thing now cause of this spot 😋👌
Great selection, nice staff, good coffee. University ave is up and coming because of places like this. Parking is a major pain though, and it’s kinda tough to get to so I can’t see myself coming here as often as I’d like. The creme brûlée doughnut was a big hit though along with the bacon maple bar! Made me think of voodoo doughnuts.
Great donuts and great service!
I enjoyed downtowns only donut place. Donuts are a unique blend of oversized and small donuts. Definitely contemporary as to flavors. I had 2 of the small creme filled, raspberry cheesecake and creme brulee. Wife had a large Chocolate thingy. Cant wait to go try other offerings.
Good donuts and coffee
The donuts were just okay, I guess I expected a bit more for a $5 donut, they were very fresh though. Also I ordered 4 donuts, and they put them in a giant box, rather wasteful.
Fantastic customer service! Greeted at the door and by everyone who assisted us. Amazing selection to choose from in-store to add to our online order. Best part, very tasty donuts!!!
Only five donuts left at 11. AM on Sunday morning. Wonder why they dont make a second batch. More donuts equals more profit. The maple bar with candied bacon was nummy. Likewise the chai cake donut, but wanted more.
The donuts are so big I especially love the unicorn.
If you like donuts, this is THE place!! Amazing selection and very creative.
Fantastic experience. The technician was so sweet. It was very gentle and comforting. Cost was perfect. Eyebrows came out perfect. Beautiful. I look so good now! 😁Co.e on down and get tour eyebrows done. Youll thank me. I promise. Job well done.
Kinda dirty inside. And while the donuts looked cool, they were just ok. Not worth the price, the local donut shop is far better.
Fantastic place, my kids loved, price us a little high, customer service is exelent.
The donuts were absolutely amazing and the customer service was amazing. Definitely my favorite donut shop!!!!!
Love the donuts and the prices are excellent! Wish they served alcohol to cant wait till this place is fully opened i recommend this place over any dont place around!
Very nice place. I enjoy it alot.
Great donuts! So tasty!
Delicious donuts in a beautiful part of Riverside. Great variety, and a bad temptation for somebody watching their weight! But so worth a little occasional indulgence
I have not tried any of their donuts yet, but the french toast was good. The prices is a little higher than the traditional donut shops, but their donuts are huge and they look pretty. I will definitely coming back. Great customer service.
Wow! What can I say, amazing donuts. Great flavor, great selection. A must try Grilled Cheese Donut. See you guus again soon. We will be back.
8i love getting donuts there. I especially enjoy the apple fritters
Best donuts around! When we lived in San Diego we frequently visited their location there. Glad to have one in our neck of the woods here in Riverside!
Alright. Ive given then about three different tries. The size is great, the staff are great, and if you choose right, the donuts can be enjoyable. They are very pricey, but their sizes and stuff kind of give that away. To be completely honest though, I dont see what all the hype is about. If you like dense donuts this is your place, if not, youre better off with a regular donut shop.
First time coming here today, and the worker was so nice! And the donuts were so good! We got Homers donut and D.B. Nutella donut!We also got House Speciality coffees, and they were really good as well. Highly recommend this place!
Friendly Staff and delicious donuts!
Yummy Yummy..... Best Donuts by far !!
At night hanging out with the family, this is great spot to grab a delicious donut with coffee or a nice cold beer. The donuts are good. I had the blood orange donut, it had a nice balance of sweetness with a cakey like texture. The prices are not too bad.
Awesome food, beer, management!#louielouie
Expensive. Overrated. Dry donuts.
I was there on Jan 22 at 9:27pm and the cashier decided to close the door early when they close at 10pm. Not very cool, we made a special trip that night
An experience. To see chef Santiago and hear his story from the man himself.The donuts are like flowers and picking them is putting together a bouquet. Cheaper then edible arrangements but the same is impressions as a gift to others.
The donuts are very good and well worth the price. And they have good beer on tap that goes with the donuts.
Okay, so the donuts are good and the girls working there are great.But how about posting some prices? Is that too much to ask? I asked for 2 identical dozens of donuts. One for work and the other for the girls at home. It took a whole lot of explaining for them to figure that out, and they still screwed it up!I was expecting $20, maybe $25 a dozen for gourmet donuts? No! They are rung up a la carte! It cost $111 for 2 dozen donuts! No, sandwiches, no beverages, 24 donuts! Thats almost $5 per donut!! At least put up a sign saying how much they are! Then Id order one for myself and then drive to Krispy Kreme and save $85!
There Donuts were Amazing.♥️ so much favor
Wow, awesome find!! Staff is incredible, and their donuts and beers are AMAZING! In love with this place!
Don’t understand the hype. Fun donuts but hardly worth 4 dollars each. Save your money and get a fresh cupcake down the street by the Mission hotel.
