Citrus Donuts Ventura Reviews
I’ve been coming to this neighborhood donut shop since I was a lad and when they changed owners I was a little hesitant because I don’t like change(due to an OCD diagnosis about the same age) but they have managed to keep the original charm while updating the menu and atmosphere. I believe the owners now are two sisters. The youngest, Torie, is very sweet and and her helper Rasha have been very welcomed in the community as they are always a delight. I have only seen the oldest sister there once and she seems a little grumpy but she’s never there so don’t let that stop you. Lots of donut to choose from and everything has been satisfactory. I always look forward to going in here now. Highly recommend.
Great donuts! Fluffy, chewy and not too sweet. $1.50 for the sugar and glazed ones, 30 cents per donut hole, a dozen is $16 or $18, depending on variety.
The 3 new owners behind this soon to put Ventura and Saticoy on the map Citrus donut shop are the sweetest and most attentive new business owners locally. They have the best coffee locally and have just begun creating some, out of the world drool-worthy donuts. While having a few growing pains and some finding employee issues, this place is awesome. The should be banned Tiger Tails are my favorite and I also love the look over your back, cream puff donut holes. Not to mention the girls behind the counter have the most infectious smiles but, sadly with the new mask mandate you going to have a tough contracting their sparkling attitudes. Support this awesome local business…
This shop has been my favorite place to get donuts. I've been coming almost every week since I moved to the area 8 months ago.
I've been here a few times now. Every time i go here the donuts are BOMB so i don't understand some of these bad reviews. If you go too late to any donut shop the options are limited so I'm assuming that happened or maybe it was an off day for shop. Otherwise I definitely recommend this place and it's worth trying.

We are a construction company and have used Citrus Donuts several times for breakfast, donuts, and coffee to feed our staff during meetings and trainings. They have been flexible to meet our early morning requests, and the food was an added bonus to a group of construction managers and support staff. Much appreciated and look forward to the next gathering.
This place is really good. The donuts have the yellow ring that occurs when a donut rises/ inflates. Pretty good sign of great cooking methods. The flavor is on par with the frying. In my personal opinion they are favorite donut. When I read through the lower rating reviews I realized the current star rating doesn't really reflect the quality of donuts this place offers. Hopefully my review helps improve it.
This place sells out of donuts early! There's a reason for that. It's an incredible donut at an incredible price that you simply won't find elsewhere. Finally managed to wake up early and get my favorite kind. Some days are better than others, but on a good day it's hands-down one of the best donuts I've ever had. The twists are a personal fave.
I had noticed this place on social media and have been wanting to try it for quite some time. It did not disappoint. I went there around 7am on a Saturday morning and the place was hopping with older guys holding court at the outdoor tables and people in line being served be a friendly and efficient person behind the counter. I picked out a variety of donuts all of which were fresh and perfectly made. The glazes and fillings were generous and a pleasure to eat along with a very solid cup of hot coffee to boot. There’s definitely pride and passion in this place I highly recommend it.
All the donuts and pastries are not only larger than average, but also FULL of flavor... even the next day, unlike some chain donuts. I don't get there enough, but EVERY time the people are kind and helpful... oh, and surprisingly good coffee!
The staff is very nice and always remembers my son when he walks in. The donuts are delicious but I wish they offered more raised donuts rather than cake donuts. They do sell out quickly so you have to go early but that’s just shows how good they are
This business is woman -owned. They are working hard to establish themselves and make a.contribution to the community. They are pleasant and the donuts are fabulous.
The best donuts in all of Ventura.
This Donut shop has the most delicious Donuts !! Please try it out. :-))

Stopped in for a breakfast sandwich and some donut holes. The ham and cheese breakfast croissant was a a decent tasty sandwich. The eggs and ham were generously applied and it made a much thicker sandwich than I expected. The donut holes were fresh and fluffy, probably some of the more addictive donut holes I've had. Service was friendly enough, nothing over the top but they make sure to give you the attention you need. While I went, there was a constant stream of customers, so they stay busy.

Very tasty donuts! Small, family owned, great service, and possibly the best apple fritter I've ever had. Decent coffee too.

Went by on my way to work to get a few donuts. They didn't have very many, I got 2 raspberry filled 1 lemon, 2/3 more. when I go to eat a raspberry cut it in 1/2 there's still uncooked dough in the middle. they were friendly and all that but ALL 3 of my filled donuts were raw in the middle. Hopefully it was something that doesn't happen all the time, but if they want to stay in business they best make sure they're cooked all the way thru. I was going to call and tell them but couldn't find a number so had to post. hope they see this and fix it.. 11.00 DOLLARS for 3 cake donuts that could be eaten 3 raised went in the trash.

My kids won’t finish the donuts. I think they just sold me a bad batch of donuts. They were crunchy on the bottom and didn’t taste right. I’m sad. I used to really like their donuts.

If you support racism then go here. My work crew and I stopped here to get a donut before going to work and the older lady here was so rude and racist we went in speaking Spanish and her exact words and I quote were “We don’t speak Spanish here. We only speak English here.” Not knowing most of us there spoke English. Thank you to the lady that stepped up and tried to tanslate for us as soon as she heard that, we really appreciated it. The one star is a gift.
This place is TRASH. They only had cake donuts, no raised and I dont mean sold out, I mean an entire display full of cake donuts. I got a ham and cheese croissant instead and I wish I hadn't. It was literally a costco croissant with one slice of thin, cheap lunch meat and a slice of processed cheese. They couldn't even tuck the meat and cheese inside. They cut the whole croissant in half and then microwaved it to death. Awful.
