Sophie’s Donuts

Soft, light, fluffy, and fresh donuts! The donut holes are amazing. Not to mention, it’s only $ 1.50 for a DOZEN donut holes. At Dunkin Donuts, I could get 5 for this price. I’m visiting all the way from VA, and since I’ve stayed here I’ve already visit three times. Also, on Fridays and Saturdays you have to try their blueberry glazed donuts. Delicious! They said they’re going to have pistachio donuts soon so I’ll be on the lookout!

The braided glazed donut was melt in your mouth good! Best donut I’ve had in a while. My sister in law had a mango smoothie which she liked as well. The croissant was OK.

I found this gem while looking for a local doughnut store to bring in a box for a group meeting on campus at CSUF. They are open for longer hours than doughnut stores usually are open for. The owner is really cute and patient. My favorite of theirs is the old fashioned doughnut. SOOOOO GOOD. I love doughnuts but I don’t love super colorful ones that have too much icing or a weird after taste (to me) and the classic doughnuts here hit the spot just right. Very well made doughnuts.

Get the blueberry cake donut or French cruller only available on Fridays and Saturdays. Pretty good prices, I’ll come here again for sure. $ 10 minimum for credits cards. No sales tax charged

Sophies donuts lost my business cause they are too stubborn about debit cards. CASH ONLY. This is usually because of frugal owners penny pinch at the inconvenience of customers.

Maybe it’s because I don’t normally eat donuts. Being diabetic really puts a damper on enjoying desserts, so perhaps it’s not fair for me to review this place. Honestly, all donut shops are the same for me. Basically sweet, glazed breads. They’re all the same to me…
But I can say I really liked the coffee! I’ll go back and try some other stuff when my sugar get’s down to normal, that is.

On our weekend trip to SoCal, we stopped by this place for some donuts. We bought a variety, but our absolute favorites we’re these French cruller donut holes that they called cream puffs. Semantics. But whatever they call them they were awesome and something we’ve never had before.

Quiet little donut shop. I usually stop in here with the bf after I grab some Chinese food to-​go from Twin Dragon a few doors down. Not much of a donut person myself, but he always has a hankering, so why not? They’re cash only (as is the case with most of these joints) and he seems to like their selection. I tried their boba and the tapioca pearls were a little mushy (probably old), but the flavor of the tea wasn’t bad.

Blueberry glazed donut from Sophie’s is so good! Good thing I finally caved in and tried it. I also like their donut holes (10 for a $ 1). Their croissants are really delicious especially when they warm it up for you. I tried the plain and the ham & cheese croissants. Really wish they have the ham & cheese with jalapenos croissant.
I’m happy that this place is so close to my place. I usually stop by in the morning before I go to work whenever I’m having a donut or croissant craving. It’s clean here. Service is quick. Don’t care if they are nice to me or not. As long they give me my donut, I’m a happy customer.

Something really cool about this place is that you can customize your own donuts. I thought that was pretty nifty due to the fact that I always seem to wonder what a certain glaze/​frosting would taste like on another donut… all I need now is an occasion. Then I’m all over it!
Anyway, besides being able to create a Frankenstein doinut this place is just another Saturday morning donut shop. Their apple fritters are in the rankings as above average, but nowhere near the best. I did like that they had larger than usual sized apple pieces inside.
Guess what… another place that offers blueberry donuts. I think every donut shop that was able to make it to Donut Shop Convention 2011 was filled in with the fact that there is a demand for blueberry donuts. These guys got the memo and have definitely nailed the recipe. Good stuff team!
Their chocolate chip cookies were also really good here. I don’t know how I always get lured into buying cookies at donut shops but I think I have figured out how the situation goes: I see them, they tempt me and… it’s history after that.
Go check them out for sure!

I was on a journey to fill my chocolate cravings after I had a whatever chinese meal next door. And then…
*uuaaaahhhhhhhhh* (Sound when the heaven doors open)
Donuts!!! Chocolate donuts!!!
After I purchased my precious donut, I devoured it within 2 minutes. the bread was soft and the chocolate was as sweet as can be. To be honest, it’s not different than any other chocolate donut, but like all chocolate donuts. IT WAS GOOOD!
Service was good as well. He was an older Asian man who greeted me and my brother with a welcoming smile.

It’s a blessing and a curse that I live 1 minute away from this donut shop. Blessing cuz it tastes so YUM, curse because the calories go straight to my gut.
DONUT HOLES!!: THE BEST! I get them at 6 in the morning on my way to work sometimes. They are perfectly glazed so that they are ALMOST crispy to the bite, and then sooooooooooo soft on the inside. They are AMAZING.
BLUEBERRY GLAZED DONUT: For those of you that wait hours to get your blueberry donut fix at M&M’s donuts… after you try the blueberry glazed donut at Sophie’s, you will feel retarded for waiting that long at M&M’s to get virtually the same donut at Sophies with no wait. It is YUM!
CREAM PUFFS: Powdered cream puffs… SUPER GOOD!
GLAZED: The glazed donuts are so perfectly soft and perfectly glazed.
EVERYTHING ELSE: The quality of ingredients they use in all their donuts is great and every donut is made so perfectly.
Dont’ care about the customer service, as long as the donuts stay yummy, but for the record the asian lady there is actually very nice. She just has that asian woman permanent glaring at you face. Don’t take it personal.

After reading Christine C.‘s review, I was dying to pay Sophie a visit and instantly bookmarked it. The opportunity came when I was running some errands and realized that this place was nearby. Although it was during the afternoon and there wasn’t much selection, the donuts was still in fact «soft and just the right sweetness.» It was a yummy afternoon snack. I just wished Sophie wasn’t stingy with the jelly and Bavarian cream inside the donuts.

I LOVE this donut shop! Excellent service! The owner Sophie is a really sweet lady and takes the time to get to know her customers.
Great donuts!!! Soft and just the right sweetness. They also serve boba milk tea and ice cream as well!
If you’re a student at CSUF and need coffee and donuts to study or you’re just craving a donut and live in the area, this is the place to go!
