Upland Donuts

For over thirty years.... BEST. DONUTS. EVER. Fresh every day. Local small business. Humble and gracious owners. Cant go wrong. Just get here early to avoid the line and the running out of your favorite donuts. They sell out everyday so you know it's right.

Hands down the best donut shop in town! Their cream puffs are delicious and my personal favorite! They have excellent staff and every donut looks fabulous. They have great selection! The only bummer is that they only take cash. But there is a staterbros in the same parking lot and you can get cash back from there. Don't miss out on the cream puffs if you go!

This is one of the absolute best donut spots I've ever been. I got 5 different donuts for my family to sample and none disappointed. You can taste the buttery goodness in every bite. And best of all they were fresh.

Best doughnuts I have ever had. There's places with a lot of hype, but this place is the best. Fresh, soft, and perfect. The humble owners have worked hard for at least 3 decades that I know of and are still humble, hard workers. My two favorites are the maple bar and the custard filled chocolate! Mmmm. Amazing.

These donuts are INSANE. The dough is incredibly soft and moist. Perfectly light and airy, i haven’t had anything like these in a very long time. Your classic neighborhood donut, but much much better.

I’ve never experienced donuts so fresh. Donuts so fluffy. I never knew donuts could be so delicious and soft and warm. Absolutely incredible worth every single penny. I would let this place take all of my money

The donuts are delicious moist the best donuts in town I’ve ever had. That’s my spot. excellent customer service All the time🙏

What a yummy hidden gem… ordered twice from here and my family enjoyed these delicious fresh donuts. Plan to pick up a dozen this weekend for our visitors. The only accept cash and prepare to see a line on weekend mornings. They also close at noon on the weekends so go bright and early. I am not sure about week days.

Hands down the best donuts around if you know you know. I've been going to this place since I was a kid I am in my 40's now. However go early they sell out quick. Every donut is absolutely delicious, however the apple fritter is next level. Truly a hidden gem.

Donuts are not an overly complicated food right? Well, maybe, but this place still does it better than anyone else! There is no fancy fruity pebbles or bacon toppings if that is what you are looking for, but they do the classics to perfection, and make cream puffs that will alter the course of your life. Their donuts are way less greasy than anyone else's... Don't know if it is the temp they cook them at, or what, but they don't hold the grease like a lot of other donuts places, and that is def a good thing! Bonus - their donuts are almost as good the next morning if you have left overs!

Been eating here for over 30 years this is the same family that started this location. We have traveled all over the world and have NEVER found any donuts better than what Upland Donuts provides. Very fair pricing and the best cinnamon rolls I have ever found!

The best dang donuts you'll find. This place is small but bursting with quality. I don't know what's in their dough, but these donuts are noticeably superior to any other donut shop we've been to. By far the best donut we've had!

By far, THE BEST donuts I've had in CA! The Glaze twists are so fluffy I couldn't leave without grabbing another one!

The best doughnut shop ever!! I haven't had the honor of coming in when they open but I've enjoyed their doughnuts at around 8-12 & 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Once you try these doughnuts out you won't want to go anywhere else. 20🌟 EDIT- PLEASE OPEN EARLIER SO I CAN GET SOME OMW TO WORK 😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤤🤤🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️ I go in at 5am & I'm always up around 330-4am. If y'all open up earlier I would come by so much more often!!! Not just the weekend

My family has been going here for years and the donuts are still the best ever! I have traveled to many places for work and often get donuts for meetings and Upland Donuts beats all the others. Give them a try and you will be hooked for life! Best treat.

The only great donuts I’ve had growing up are at Uncle Joe’s in San Gabriel. I was visiting California this past week and staying in Glendora. I asked around about great, local donuts. I was told to go to Donut Man. I got a glazed, round, chocolate and cinnamon, glazed twist. Neither had much flavor. I then did a Google search and from all the great reviews, decided to try them. I ordered a buttermilk glazed, a glazed, round chocolate and an apple fritter. These donuts were delicious! Every time I’m in town, I will visit Upland Donuts. Thank you so much for feeding my craving for great donuts!

I was craving something sweet and looked up donuts. I read the reviews on this Ma&Pa shop, and MAN!! It was TRUE! The Donuts was Fresh! Soft and moist! Frosting was just enough, for the amount of dough on the donut!! Upland Donuts, thank you for fresh donuts with reasonable prices!! You can't really find that anywhere anymore. The wait is worth every minute. This will be my #1 Donut shop from now on💯 Thank you Upland Donuts!!

Omg! I never thought I would find the best donut shop! And I'm a donut connoisseur too. A hidden gem located in north Upland in the Stater Brothers shopping plaza on 16th st and Mountain Ave. It's the only donut shop where you can get warm donuts regularly and that's because there's so many customers, they have to keep making them throughout the morning! In fact, when I made it inside the donut shop, I saw the guys in the back off to the side steadily making new batches. One person was layering the chocolate glaze ever so smoothly. Like watching a real life documentary. Yes, there was a line when I arrived wrapped around the store's corner, but it moved fast. Most people are ordering an assorted dozen (including me - and a dozen variety donut holes) when I was there so donuts go very quick! The staff was very helpful and nice with a smile. Kids, young adults, grandma-grandpa, everyone was there. They're super puffy, the glaze are spread perfectly and evenly. The powdered sugar donut holes are amazing! They remind me of those Hostess powdered mini donuts, but so soft, still warm, and freshly made!!! That's childhood memories right there for me. Don't even get me started about their jelly filled ones. When you break them open, it's like watching an Italian pizza cheese pull! The custard or raspberry oozes out ever so evenly. I wish I could've had someone film me while I pulled them apart to show you guys. The best I can do are pictures. Look at them, look at them, look at it.......now respect them! They are the most beautiful donuts I've ever seen. And they're just the regular ones too. Not the fancy design ones you see at some specialty donut shops. They're good enough to be in commercials or in ads! Taste? What do you think? Heavenly!!! When it's warm, omg, it's very similar to Krispy Kreme but thicker and fluffier donuts. Now I don't live in Upland. It's out of the way for me but with donuts this good and such awesome presentation, I will go out of the way 10x more to come here. This is my new go-to spot for donuts now. Highly recommended. Their cream and jelly filled are the best tasting I've ever had in my life. The texture is so smooth and it's flavor odds what you expect out of a Michelin star dessert. Next time, I will order more cream and raspberry filled, now that I've tasted them. Don't take my word for it. If you want really good donuts, you need to check this place out and try it yourself. You are your own critic. Oh forgot to add, it's cash only so be prepared.

The service here was amazing. The worker at the register was very patient while my boyfriend and I were indecisive. She was a gem! It was our first time coming here and would definitely come back in the future. They have fun cute donuts too lol. I definitely recommend this local spot.

I’ve been coming here since my youngest was one she is 10 now! And I have 2 more since then, we come here every Sunday. They are always fresh! So neat, and they are so sweet. The people who work here are clean, nice, and there is always a line to get in. This place is a part of Upland! My work( school) also gets Upland Donuts for their events. And people always enjoy! Definitely swing by!

It’s always the small mom-and-pop donut shops that have the best tasting and highest quality donuts. Upland Donuts is no exception! The shop is small, but the donuts themselves are one of the best donuts I’ve ever tasted. Period. (And I’ve tried a lot of donuts). The litmus test of a donut shop is its glazed donut. Upland Donuts’ glazed donut far surpasses any other glazed I’ve tried. They’re open from 5 am to noon everyday and in the mornings it can get a bid crowded. Nothing beats a warm donut with a steaming cup of coffee!

Great upland doughnuts mmmm.

The best donuts in Upland. Reasonably priced for what you get. Delicious, big, savory. Located by Stater Brothers Market.

They have the BEST donuts which I never had. Especially when they serve warm. OMG! I probably can eat a dozen.

They have the BEST donuts which I never had. Especially when they serve warm. OMG! I probably can eat a dozen.

My graduate professor recommended this place. He emphasized how he found their business model to be brilliant. I decide to hop in my car and take a trip over there. From the employees to the customers in line, everyone was extremely friendly, especially the employees, who were incredibly sweet. I told them it was my first time, and they were super helpful and welcoming. One customer behind me told me they have an excellent reputation. I noticed that many loyal customers go there as if it's their second home. And unexpectedly, it was a bummer that they only accepted cash, as I had to leave the premises to go to the ATM and back (I’m aware now), but in the end, the experience and donuts were 10/10. I know because I brought those donuts to my class, and my professor was a bit surprised; however, my classmates enjoyed the freshly made donuts.

The inside is small and looks like any other donut shop. The donuts are always fresh and I like that. But the customer service is superb. I stopped here because I seen a line so I figured they must be good. They exceeded my expectations.

Great donut place. We were told about it by our friend who grew up in Upland. There's a line in the morning when the fresh donuts come out. They close at noon.

Been going to upland donuts since I was in high school. The donuts are really good and fresh. They also sell croissants mine favorite is the ham cheese jalapeño. It’s a family owned business and It is a cash only business that opens early around 5 am and close around 1pm. The line is usually a nice wait. The line is really long in the mornings and on the weekend. Be ready to wait if you get there before 10 am. You can pre order the day before if you want to get donuts for a special event or party or you just want a dozen just because. Highly recommend!!

Upland Donuts offer a wide variety of donuts that are simply very delicious!! The employees are kind, gracious, and will serve you willingly! The hours are good and each donut is too good to be true!!

The husband and wife are very easy to meet, both of them ask light answered questions to answer. If you ask, they will always answer to there capabilities. They are both respectful and careful around ur surroundings and others, the best and most recommended order is to order a “dozen”, I have been going to this same donut place ever since I arrived and bought a house in 2016 here.

Best donuts ever! was in a rush this morning, but thankfully found this donut place near my work.

Was in the area yesterday and stopped by to try their donuts. Line went out the door but was fast! Donuts were warm and fresh and sooooo good! They accept cash only!

The best donuts i've ever had in my life. Doughnuts are always fresh and soft.

Upland Donuts is unbeatable! Their donuts are always fresh, and there’s a reason people line up as early as 5 a.m. – they’re that good! The dough is soft and perfectly sweet, and each donut has that melt-in-your-mouth quality that keeps you coming back. There’s always a variety to choose from, and every one of them tastes incredible. The staff is friendly and efficient, handling the early morning rush with ease. If you’re looking for the best donuts around, Upland Donuts is it. Nothing better to start the day!

Glazed donuts are the best I’ve ever had. Warm, literally melts in your mouth. You cannot just have one.

Upland Donuts has been my go-to spot for years, and it's easy to see why. The donuts here are consistently fresh, delicious, and made with care. Whether you're in the mood for a classic glazed or something a little more adventurous, Upland Donuts delivers every time. But let's be honest—nobody, and I mean nobody, beats their Apple Fritters! These fritters are the perfect blend of crispy edges and soft, flavorful centers, packed with just the right amount of apple goodness. If you're looking for a treat that hits all the right notes, the Apple Fritters at Upland Donuts are an absolute must-try. This place is the perfect morning stop.....!

The doughnuts are fresh. I've never compared a donut to Krispy Kreme, but they are that fresh and fluffy nelt in your mouth. I am glad I don't like closer, or I would be in so much trouble, I would gain a ton of weight. There was a line out the door and around the corner. That's what made me stop and try the place. It was the best decision I've made. LOL

Cream Puffs!! Small little place makes the best little donuts called cream puffs. But you got to get there early by 10 AM they are gone!! When I am in Upland I like to get me a few, the other donuts are yummy too. This place gets busy for a donut shop. Sweet owner. Cash only so come prepared. I gave 4 stars for the inconvenience of cash only.

A long-standing history of making and selling very good donuts 🍩 at about half the price of Crispy Creams. Quick in and out from Mountain Blvd. There can be a waiting line in the first couple hours if only one person behind the counter.

These are, by far, the best donuts I've ever had!! Also, the employees/owners are very friendly! I'm a good believer on giving a food business a good and honest rating based on food, service, and other factors. So even though their donuts are dangerously delicious, I am giving them a 4 star rating because they ONLY accept cash and that's a big issue for me because, as a delivery driver, I dont like carrying cash with me. Coffee is average. :-)
