Golden Donut

There #1 .you must go every morning. For the fresh donut hot coffee milk tea and it feels like home. They're welcome With a smile and good service and then the background you hear good music. They care for there customers. Ask you how's your day? And have a conversation like a good donut shop should

Popular spot to get coffee and donuts. Enjoyed by young and old, and all ages in between. Good donuts.

If it was a bar it would be a hole in the wall. Nothing fancy. But the donuts are first rate. If you are in the area, you must stop for a great donut of the 2-dozen or so varieties they make.

Best donut shop in town and best fritter ANYWHERE. No matter how many fancy, specialty, craft donut type stores I've been to, golden donut still reigns Supreme in my book. The staff are all nice and there's always old locals in there reading the paper and enjoying their coffee. Just a good old town vibe that you don't see a lot. It deserves all the stars, not just 5!

I love getting the Croissant Sandwich there. It’s delicious. * Revised July 6th 2025: The Chocolate Glazed Old Fashioned type of donuts there, are amazing.

Absolute gem. I grew up down the street, been going for about 20 years - BEST DONUTS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Awesome employees.

Great donut shop. I tried the apple fritter and the cinnamon roll - my go to choice to see if a donut shop is good. They were both excellent.

I buy 24 donuts every week for church. $10 less than Krispy guys and way better, plus supporting a local business! 🍩♥️

Place has been around forever in town and is always good. Definitely a must try especially the chocolate bar

Tasty donuts. No donut holes the day I visited. $1.75 for the large sugar/cinnamon covered donut every bit as good as a bakery pastry for a lot more $.

It’s the spot for the best donuts. Owners are amazing people. Only takes cash. One time gave them to me for free and said just pay it forward.

I love golden donut. Donuts are always fresh and tasty. I gave service only four stars because there's a employee ⁸is always on her cell phone when she's trying to help me. But overall I recommend this donut shop to others.

I miss this place so much. Almost every morning I visited before work and got my maple bar with bacon. I hope that young lady is still there

We've been going there for years. 22 years to be exact. Have always supported them. They are a local and orchid favorite. The owner and staff are wonderful. The donuts and fritters are excellent. The fritters are my favorite. They are wonderful

Golden Donuts has been a family tradition for decades and today was our last order. The last family member is moving out of the area. To appease the moving gods, I ordered two dozen donuts over the phone and the staff were able to accommodate me quickly and professionally. They are better than the chain competitors and they will be missed!

Been coming here for Donuts since the late 90's! Great experience every time with old owners and new. Everyone is really friendly and always remember names. Several times a month I do a large order for work and it is always ready for pick up when I get there, on these days I bring my wife and kid a donut as well and they know exactly what to give me every time. Thank you to the whole team there! I appreciate you!

Was so sorry that "HO" and her family retired!! New owners. Service was good. Donuts have gone up. Don't go often , but my first was ok.

Owner and staff are always friendly. Donuts are always fresh and really good. This has been a Sunday morning treat for us for a long time. Please help support our local shop.

It’s sad to see good things come to an end. We all knew the previous owners that made Golden Donut a staple in the Orcutt community. Friendly, sassy, always smiling even at 5:30am! I wish them all the best in their new endeavors. With that said, my go to donut shop is no longer. If anyone can suggest another one please do so. The plain old fashion didn’t have the same look, texture or flavor. There is a slightly bitter aftertaste instead of that sugary sensation. The chocolate bar as well has shrunk about a 1/2 inch or so and not as dense. I’m sure even the old timers and loyal customers have noticed the absence of the owners. The new owners just want to churn out their donuts without considering what made Golden Donut a nice, friendly and welcoming place to visit: their customers.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s an amazing place to come to you. Owner is amazing and the other girls are amazing. Who work there but there’s this lady named Vantana. I don’t know if it’s the owner‘s daughter or who she is but I am the worst service I’ve ever had with her. She’s rude and I come here all the time and then she wants to start charging two dollars extra for the smallest amount of cream cheese when I could’ve gone to Starbucks and paid less for the little cup that they gave you of cream cheese I come here all the time almost every other day and I’ve never ever had them do that to me
