Luv this place. I personally am not a big fan of donuts because of their oily taste. BUT I definitely love donuts here. They dont have unpleasant taste of oil but they are very fresh and pure. I recommend the yeast donuts with simple flavor such as lemon, plain, or maple. For me, simple ones were the best.
Ridiculously amazing!!!! First, family owned and operated. Owner takes pride in his store and it shows from the awards. He met me outside and immediately built rapport. They have a lot of unique, fresh made donuts to choose from and they both offered their personal choices. As you can see, I chose a variety. All were warm, gooey and delicious!! Definitely a must and I will be back!!
Everyone can enjoy a good donut and these are absolutely wonderful donut creations. They have a menu that is permanent and a menu that gets updated seasonally. I stopped by the other week and picked up a chocolate, a peach and a peach melba. Fresh fried donuts, fresh peaches and beautiful presentation! Will definitely be going back to try more!
Fluffiest fresh donuts I have ever had and they are made to order so recommend eating the donut as soon as its ready. My favorite is the burnt butter bourbon bacon...savory and sweet in one package.I appreciate that their icing is not overly sweet and each donut has its own personality. Staff is very friendly and great customer service. Overall a great place and I am so happy I found this hidden gem.
Recent day trip to Laguna put us in range to stop in this wonderful place. I rarely will write about a donut shop but this is so very next level. Yes a little spendy but my goodness put these on your list. The Meyer lemon was so good so fresh. So tear apart perfect and balanced sweet sour. The Banoffee is a meal for two if you love banana pudding this will make you weep. And the Olies are best hot. Thats what we tried and I’m looking for a plus to put on the end of this. Go and enjoy without hesitation.
I have been craving a good donut since the start of the pandemic lockdown, but not just any donut, something really delicious and satisfying. I thought about making them at home and pinned many lovely recipes, but i just knew Id end up eating a dozen by myself. So I waited, and waited...Today I ventured into Oliboli for the first time. OMG can you say, totally worth it? Donuts made to order? WW! I chose the cream filled and the meyer lemon glazed. The crumb on both was tender and delicate. Not greasy. Not heavy. The meyer lemon tasted just like a fresh lemon, and the cream filled obviously had freshly made pastry cream inside. Not overly sweet. Not gooey like commercially made fillings. Not a hint of cornstarch or powdered sugar in the texture. Perfection. Loved them both so much!Seth, at the counter was personable and friendly. Loved his energy.
Everything was super tasty. Fun flavors. The executive chef came from sidecar donuts which is another amazing donut place. Also got a bourbon maple iced latte.The only reason I took off a star is because the place is still pretty basic...Im not sure if its because they are new... or because some of the furniture was outside...I guess the ambience just isnt quite there... the place looks unfinished...But donuts are amazing and Im already planning to go back to try some of their savory breakfast donuts
Let me start off by saying this is the best donut spot in America! Why? Because its made fresh to every order! All fresh ingredients! Thank you Victor & Thanks to your hard working caring Son & Daughter
So..... writing this review is making me want to go back here. Let’s just say I’m not supposed to eat donuts due to some dietary restraints and issues, but I don’t care when it comes to these. Hands down the best donuts I’ve had in the OC, and my wife and I are currently on the hunt for the best donut shop. These guys are in the lead.
If you are looking for a better and flavorful donut... This is the spot!! Every donut brings a different experience and every flavor will bring joy & bliss. From the Meyer Lemon to the Monday special of Cardamom bun (my two favorites by the way) each have a well balance of flavor and texture. So, if you are in Tustin for the day or just passing through stop by my favorite treat spot and it may just become yours.
This place is delicious! Coffee is great and they have donuts made to order! Had the bourbon bacon and rainbow sprinkles. All fantastic! One of my new favorite spots!
Gourmet not gimmicky donuts. Sophisticated flavors that elevate donuts to pastry level. A truly unique sweet treat experience.
Wow...I cant believe I havent been here sooner. I love donuts and they have some of the best in town. Donuts are chewy and moist and not tooth hurting sweet.
From the moment I walked in I was greeted by smiling staff. A young guy in particular left a very lasting impression with his kindness and enthusiasm! But forget the top notch staff- these donuts are the BEST I’ve ever had. The texture is unique- I can only describe it as a mix between a pate choux dough and a regular yeasted dough. The donuts are light and airy but substantial at the same time and decadent. Amazing! We ordered peach (seasonal), maple glazed, regular glazed, Bavarian cream, jam filled. Can’t wait to go back.
Meyer lemon and their namesake donuts are my favorite. Their lattes are great too. Really I don’t think you can go wrong buying anything here! :)
I’ve been following oliboli donuts on Instagram for months, and finally made time to visit. Maybe I built it up too much, but it just wasn’t as good compared to other donut shops in the area. We tried the Meyer lemon, strawberry, chocolate Boston cream, and chocolate sprinkles cake donut. They are known for their freshly made donuts that come out hot, but we actually liked the cake donut the best. These donuts were okay, but I wouldn’t go back when there are better options around. Sorry oliboli, I love the name and really wanted to love the products!
Unique and special place! Donuts were amazing and staff felt like family.
This is my favorite donut place ever anywhere. I continue to look for a better donut but I havent found one yet.
Owned by Victor and Brooke DesPrez, Oliboli Donuts is self-described as a “business built on family values and simple Ingredients,” but for those lucky enough to visit these Orange County natives the fact is that there is nothing simple about fried-to-order 40-hour fermented Dough and artisan housemade Toppings.Serving Tustin since October of 2018, a complex on 1st Street no different than any other on the outside, guests entering Oliboli Donuts will immediately notice a lengthy countertop decorated in Fried Dough, some twenty-six choices on this particular Friday, though what is visible serves for display purposes only.Home to both Yeast and Cake rings, not to mention Bismarcks and savory selections intended to eat like a meal, it is with wide eyes that one surveys the scene as they are greeted by staff members, all exceedingly pleasant and educated about both products and process.Later learning that one crew member was Mr. DesPrez, his passion for Doughnuts readily evident during a five-minute conversation while each choice was made-to-order, it was to a party of six that eight warm rings were delivered, an additional three Oliebollen starting things off with bright aromatics amidst stone-milled Flour and subtle Fruit sweetness.Creatively decorated with a mural plus children’s drawings, next bites took a look at Brooke’s spin on Croque Madame, every penny of its $8.50 cost more than justified by good Prosciutto and Cheese plus housemade Mornay Sauce and a bright yellow Egg finished with Black Lava Salt.Able to watch the kitchen work though a window, each Donut carefully maneuvered in boiling oil with a pair of metal rods, even-frying is best noticed by way of Plain Glaze, fermentation yielding large air pockets also noteworthy within a Strawberry circle shellacked in reduced Harry’s Berries from the market.Looking seasonally with Semla, a bit of Cardamom in the Batter recreating a Swedish classic topped in Almond Paste plus two types of Cream, Native Americans also get a nod through thinner “Fry Bread,” its crispness more prominent than the rest of Oliboli’s offerings and a competent delivery mechanism for Homemade Ricotta Cheese and fresh Raspberry Jam.Happy to find two more jammy-options, the alternative choice of Passion Fruit leading to all three being topped with Raspberry, suffice it to say that Oliboli’s Peanut Butter doesn’t come in a thick glob but instead reduced with Sugar and surprisingly potent while seasonal-special Banoffee gives credit to England with Homemade Banana Whipped Cream, Fresh Banana, Toffee Sauce and Streusel atop the pillow-soft base.
I am generally not a fan of donuts - I just dont feel that fried dough is worth the calories. That is, until I found this place. Worth it. SO worth it. Every donut Ive tried here was delicious. These donuts are made to order, which is the only way you should eat them. They are airy and have a slight yet pleasant crust on the outside that youll appreciate as you bite into them. The toppings are unique and flavorful, yet they dont go too overboard which is great. As far as I could tell they are also using high quality ingredients.Donuts are now officially back on my menu, unfortunately :)
I casually lurk oliboli’s Instagram to see their donuts for the week or whatever’s in season. I tell myself each week I’ll be good and lay off, but then they keep tempting me with delicious hooped concoctions. I hate them. Why they do to me?
Fresh and hot! Loved how they were able to accommodate my daughters request!
I love this place. Good donuts good vibe.
Good drinks but donuts were little too sweet for me.(good price for xake donuts tho)
Holy moly Oliboli, these donuts are delicious! I still need to try their savory ones. I like to order an espresso while I’m waiting for them to make them; they’re very proper with it and make each one fresh to order.I love that they’re Wild yeast/leavened donuts... that means they’re healthy and you shouldn’t feel guilt for ordering several more than you’re currently planning to.Share these donuts & you will have great fortune in 2021; be the super one!
The fluff in their donut is fantastic! It was my first time trying this place, and I tried the meyer lemon donut. I had no idea they made fresh at order! Warm, so inviting. That was really the best part knowing that this is the service youre getting. Very big plus. Gives it a dine in feel. Something you dont see all that often.The donut had a great lemon flavor, a zing and not overly sweet. Plus lemon zest in the icing, score! Yummy!Little more info, the place itself has a very nice bright modern feel, with a touch of we care Vibe. Probably the positive of going to a family own place rather than chains. I mean no offense to any place, I eat anywhere haha.It is located in a small center so there is parking available.Will definitely be coming back to try their other flavor options.Tip: it seems like they offer phone order which would save you time on big orders BUT if you are only getting a few things, go and order it there, it comes out piping fresh. So good!!
Beautiful artisan doughnuts and coffee and tea drinks. A must when in the area.
These are by far the best doughnuts I’ve ever had in my life. My mom and I stopped in after we saw some of their signs and got curious. My mom and I decided to get a half dozen so we could try a few different ones, and after receiving our warm box of heaven we figured we’d try one bite of one in the parking lot. Suddenly almost our whole box was gone and we were running back in to shamelessly get a second box. Every single one that we tried was by far the best doughnuts I’ve ever had. The banana one was my absolute favorite with the spice cake coming in as a close second. The family who owns this place is lovely and I will definitely be seeing them again soon and frequently 😋
The variety of donuts was worth the 35 mile drive. I love that there wasnt the same options as most donut shops. The staff was patient, eager to serve and accommodating. Perfect donut shop!
OMG this is the ultimate in donuts! So good! So creative! Now heres the deal. Oliboli has been open for about a year but this was my first time. They have the usual sweet donuts and they were good, but donuts. Expensive donuts. BUT, and heres the super creative part Oliboli has Savory Donuts too. These are to die for. Have you ever had Eggs Benedict Donuts? No? You dont know what you have been missing!! Imagine a raised donut with Eggs Benedict on top with ricotta cheese and yummy sauce and such. Total Delight! You gotta try! Now how about chorizo and eggs on a savory donut, or Croque Madame on a savory donut? You now get the idea. Total Delish 😋!
Great donuts unlike any others you would find. I really love the savory donuts they have like the croque maddam or the ham and cheese. The hot sauce they give you is fantastic.
Amazing donuts! The staff is very friendly. Dont miss this place!
These donuts are legit. They are too legit to quit. Such selection, such variety. Staff is very friendly. The donuts fed a bunch of hungover guests at our house, for which everyone was most grateful.
Donuts here are always amazing. Delicious!
Staff is always very courteous. Delicious, fresh donuts. Usually get a latte, coffee is good too.
This place has the best donuts in California! We love this place so much and would drive hours just to get them. They have yeast and cake donuts. My favorite is the chocolate coconibs (top left), the Meyers Lemon donut (top right) and the Guava custard filling Donut (bottom right). They are freshly made and the flavors taste delicious! Their flavors are seasonal so they might change when you visit them.
Best in town I drive from San Bernardino just for it!
Ordered the spice, maple and strawberry glaze donuts and all of them were very tasty! The strawberry glaze did win by a landslide in my opinion, though. All very fluffy and flavorful and not as heavy as a typical donut. Didn’t try the coffee but plan to be back soon and give it a try as well. Great place!
Outstanding, excellent, great choices and each one outstanding...highly recommended.
Lemon - their best seller and the lemon fits in really well with the rest of the donut. Not overpowering at allBumbleberry (?) - mix of berry flavours, blue, black, And I think boisson berry. This was my favourite oneCream filling- similar to a Boston cream pie, the chocolate is not super sweet you get a more refined tasteDonut holes - light and powdery but had a good amount of crunch to them
Love this place with all my heart. The best donuts in all the land 😍
Stunning! Each donut is made to order, fresh, warm, and just delicious! The Banoffee donut should be the gold standard of donuts. You will regret not paying them a visit.
Holy moly these might be the best donuts in OC. Theyre made fresh when you order them. Ive never been to a donut shop that takes the time to do that. This means itll take a few minutes until you get your donuts but its so worth it because theyre warm and fluffy when you receive them. Theyre not only freshly fried, but the ingredients taste really fresh as well. I had the meyer lemon cheesecake donut and it was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. The carrot cake donut also tasted really authentic and full of natural ingredients. Customer service was also top notch
Ohhhh soooo yummy !Hot, fresh, made to order donuts !!!
The staff was super nice and welcoming I tried a sweet donut and a savory donut and they blew my mind soft but also crispy and having them freshly made to order was a game changer I cant express how much I highly suggest a visit to Oliboli
The server Susie was absolutely amazing❣
So fresh. So light. Absolutely worth the adventure
Best donuts around
The bumble berry 🍩 is legendary. Also the rose petals latte is fragrant and creamy. Love this place!
Pricey, but delicious! The browned butter bourbon bacon donut is crazy good.
Its always nice to have an artisanal donut shop near by when you have an itch to scratch...by way of DONUTS!Bavarian, cranberry orange, maple, donut holes, & almond something
Slow service, high prices, much ado about nothing
Donuts made fresh to order. Unique combinations, great ambience, owner is super friendly. Coffees yummy too!
THESE DONUTS ARE INSANE! They will blow your mind! cooked to perfection, incredible variety of flavors, and absolutely beautiful! The cake donuts are my favorite, with the perfect crispy outside. The coffee is delicious and unique, I had the best oat milk, rosemary, honey latte! The staff are so friendly and hospitable, the space is beautiful, light and airy and Oliboli gives off all the vibes you want. I want to have these donuts and coffee every. day. of. my. life. The perfect addition to Tustin!! We love Oliboli!!
A Haiku to Oliboli DonutsSoft and fluffy doughSavory and saccharineFive more donuts please!This place is awesome. Their maple donut is like a stack of the fluffiest pancakes with the perfect amount of syrup. So good I wrote a darn haiku. Stop reading this and go get one.
Staff is friendly. Donuts are super delicious specially the Meyer lemon 🍋
Very clean establishment. Workers friendly. The donuts are fresh and hot. Different flavors. I recommend everyone to stop by and get yourself a delicious breakfast.
The best family owned donut business in the OC! Wish I could eat 12 more of these burnt butter bourbon bacon donuts❤🥓❤🥓
