Linda's Donuts Riverside Reviews
Linda’s is AMAZING!!!!! The best (and biggest) breakfast croissant sandwich I’ve ever had. Fresh, flaky croissant and the egg was just as fluffy and fresh. The only way it could have been better was with turkey. Donut and coffee was equally good.

From the crack of dawn, they're already churning out freshly baked donuts and mouthwatering breakfast croissant sandwiches.Walking into this establishment, you're greeted with a clean and inviting atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for your morning pick-me-up. But it's not just the ambiance that's inviting; the staff here are always warm, welcoming, and ready to brighten your day with their friendly smiles.Whether you're in need of a caffeine boost or craving something sweet to kickstart your morning, this place has got you covered. I highly recommend stopping by for a cup of their early morning coffee paired with one (or more!) of their delectable donuts. Trust me, it's the ultimate recipe for a great start to your day!

Incredibly underrated and overlooked! Amazing donuts, always so fresh and soft… love the glazed twist here, it’s one of the best I’ve ever eaten. And their jalapeño ham and cheese croissant is packed and huge and wayyy better than any other donut shop. The staff/owners are always very friendly and serve you with a smile. My dad used to live Nextdoor in The Meadows senior mobile home park and he would walk to Linda’s Donuts almost daily for his donut and muffin fix. Highly recommend this awesome little Donut Shop. They open early in the AM and close in the early afrernoon. I’ve eaten at basically every donut shop in Southern California and Linda’s donuts rivals the best out there.
We love Lindas Donuts. Just about weekly we pick up donuts for our staff, and the donuts are always fresh and tasty. We are local and always try to patron the small, local businesses. As long as Linda’s stays in business, we will continue to come.
Why are these doughnuts so good? I don’t understand. If I lived close to this shop and wasn’t visiting from the other side of the country, I’d have to get this place shut down just to stop me coming in every day and getting fat. Never tasted a better doughnut in my life. Great job
The best doughnut I’ve ever had.
This is by far the best donut spot in this area! And the breakfast bagels and croissants are delicious!!!
BEST DONUTS IN RIVERSIDE. PERIOD. Bagels are 🔥 COFFEE is 🔥 🔥 🔥 forget Starbucks… this is your one stop shop!
Best croissant and apple fritter coffee is excellent too!
Great donuts!
Best donut spot to grab a donut. It has been my go to spot to get donuts for the house and donuts to take at work. My coworkers are always asking for these donuts
Donuts are so tasty and soft but my favorite is thier savory food. Bagels, ham and jalapeno rolls. I love those Thai tea too! I always try to support local business so going here instead of Starbucks is great. The staff is always super friendly and always appreciates your business.
i was a little skeptical cus of the mixed reviews but yall the donuts were BOMB and the croissants are a MUST TRY! theyre huge and delicious and you can customize them however you’d like. the bagels were good i mean its hard to mess up a bagel. the taro was good a bit sweet but good but the cookies and cream drink is d e l i c i o u s. good vibes overall, TRUST THE DONUTS AND CROISSANTS ARE A MUST TRY!!🫶🏼
Don't assume this is jsut another boring donut spot. These are donuts are far superior to others!!!! I don't know how they are so soft and fresh, even when cold. The glazed twist are fantastic, as are the cream filled. I warm mine up in the microwave for about 5 seconds and they are just perfect. Owners are extermely nice as well Highly recommended!!!!
Don't let the small amount of reviews throw you off. This place is legit. The box of a dozen was noticeably heavier than most others, in a good way. Apple fritter was cooked all the way through and had a beautiful dark color you wouldn't see from a more timid baker. If you love donuts, you owe it to yourself to check this place out
Best donuts I’ve ever had in my life. I went to culinary school and I’m from the east coast. Wow wow wow they are so soft, fluffy and perfectly sweet. I enjoyed the classic glazed and the coconut was great. If you want donuts this is the place the be

Walked in and the girl was super friendly and kind. The donut selection was lacking a little bit. They had no sprinkle donuts at all. Maple donuts were pretty good and their coffee was just plain black coffee. Good donuts but not something I would go out of my way for.

We went here based on ratings. Spent 10.50 on 5 stale day old donuts. Go somewhere else. Yuck.
