Dolly’s Donuts and Cookies Too

Had a hairy experience… my box of donuts had what seemed to be rodent hair?? eyebrow hair??? Cockaroach legs??? Dollys donuts and cookies and rats too… oh and when i bit into my donut a long hair came out of mouth from the donut… not joking people i still get disgusted when i see donuts

This place has the best donuts and the best variety for the most amazing price and it’s open 24 hours a day how great is that!

Oh dolly… ur donuts and pastries are very good… too bad ur coffee isn’t very good…

ok so my preggo butt was craving an apple fritter and strawberry milk so as I exited the freeway on my way to work, I Unilocaled «donuts» and this was the closest shop. I was really excited after reading the reviews! I pulled in and waited in my car for about 15min because there were 2 homeless men lingering around my car, which made me feel very uncomfortable leaving it. I almost chose to skip it, but pregnancy cravings are no joke. I finally got the nerve to go out and walked in. I was greeted, but not as friendly as I expecting. the lady was civil at best, nothing like how she was described in reviews, unless it was someone else they were talking about. I ordered my apple fritter, but they didn’t have milk AT ALL and they charge 50 cents to use a card, fyi. when I was walking back to my car, the homeless guys asked for money. then I tried to fritter and it was burned. I don’t think I’ll return unless they can get the solicitors under control and if/​when that happens, it will only be an emergency situation. I’ll drive a little further to get better service and quality.

Loved the donuts fresh out the oven really soft first time here with my son he liked his choco donut i got a huge yummy croissant. nice asain Lady too :)

These days, it seems as though hipsters have taken over the donut industry… it’s fancy maple bars with bacon or blueberry donuts, cronuts, or God knows what else. Every once in a while though, it’s nice to have a donut or two at a reasonable price that are just good donuts.
Open 24 hours, I went to this donuts shop while my father was in the hospital at St. Joes, and they were quick and tasted pretty good. I had a cinnamon roll that tasted with a touch of apple cinnamon. The chocolate twists here were good, and with nice service.
Solid spot.

My daughter likes coming here, cuz they always have lots of plain cake donuts, the only kind she will eat. It’s in a strip mall across from CHOC Hospital and the original Aneplaco’s and in the same parking lot as Hollinghead’s and Euopean Cleaners, so lots of reasons to be here!
As they are open 24 hours, the donuts are abundant and fresh. Two sizes of apple fritters are available, a first in my experience. Lots of specialty donuts, too.
I like that there is no Gatorade in front of kids’ faces to tempt them. That way my daughter always gets milk. Me, too.
The area outside is a little filthy, but all donut shops seem to share this fault. I wish, though, that a weekly power wash could be performed around the tables. It’s a bit icky out there at times.

A unique combination of a donut place and gambling hall. Whenever I have an itch to squander my hard earned money on a lotto ticket, I wander over to Dolly’s. The wall behind the cashier is speckled with past winning tickets, fueling my dreams of hitting it big. But seriously, the donuts here are pretty good, and the coffee is delicious! And I don’t even like coffee.

Don’t know about other stuff but the bagel size is small and not the specialty type such as a «Cheese Everything» my fav! Also very minimal on the cream cheese. Otherwise, place is as other reviewers have said. There is a Dukes burger and some other eateries close by.

So we ran across this shop by chance, pulled up the reviews and I was convinced we shouldn’t stop… I’m glad we did. Very friendly woman behind the counter and very good donuts. Great cinnamon twist and maple donuts.

love there bagel breakfast sandwich’s there fresh and home made at the time you order them. there donuts are fresh.

This is definitely not the best donut shop around. Unfortunately, it is the only place in the vicinity of where I work so it leaves us very little choice in the matter.
While the prices are reasonable, the quality just isn’t there. There is a decent selection but from what I’ve had, they all taste basically the same. Not that I am a donut connoisseur by any means but I believe if you order a cinnamon roll or a chocolate covered cake, there should be a different flavor between the two. I am a little concerned in the fact that their products don’t taste really fresh either. I am expecting a glazed donut to be light and flaky but unfortunately these were dried out on the inside and tasted a little old.
If you’re in a pinch for something sweet, Dolly’s isn’t a terrible choice but believe you /​me, there are better options out there.

In the mood for love, I head over to Dolly’s Donuts to grab a couple donuts and with all that is within me, hopefully I will abstain from purchasing any additional donuts… What…in case there is a natural disaster.
The location is shady, shady, shady. So, you have got to man-​up when you are in this area.
Needless to mention there were a couple questionable and morally impaired individuals. As I take some deep breaths, I pray this inner monologue, «please don’t hurt me because it will hurt me more to have to inflict detrimental injury, irreversible wounds and more physical pain than you will ever know; and furthermore I would have to explain this to your mother. I’d rather not meet your mother. So, refrain from morally remiss actions and be along your way.
I digress, the buttermilk donuts are consistently good, but the glazed donuts do not fair as kindly. They were dry today. The cake donuts are not generated well. They lack flavor, but the texture is okay.
The two ladies behind the counter are always very hospitable. Total cost for two donuts $ 1.60.
Cheers!

$ 1.75 for a bagel and cream cheese is a-​ok with me!

Dolly’s is not the best donut shop. Their donuts are OK, nothing special that you’d go out of your way for. The store itself is run down. I have often found many homeless people hanging around. It’s really not great… I only end up coming here because it is a convenient location near where my father lives.
The employees are nice though AND they are currently in the middle of renovations. So I may have a positive update in the future!
Another plus is that if you’re a lottery player they do sell lottery tickets and scratchers. I rarely ever partake, but the occasional time I’m feeling lucky, I have gotten my ticket here.

I’m not sure how long the cookies had been sitting there, but 70 cents per cookie was a small price to pay to perhaps discover a fabulous cookie. With «cookies» being included in the name of the store, I was very hopeful, even when I saw their small selection sitting on a covered tray on the end of the counter.
The chocolate chip cookie was an average, crispy chocolate chip cookie. The peanut cookie (not peanut butter, like I had hoped) was just a crispy cookie with peanuts on top. I took only a few bites of this tasteless cookie.
Cookies are definitely an afterthought at Dolly’s. The highlight of this experience was biting into the donut hole included with every purchase. If they put half as much effort into their cookies as their donuts, they would have some seriously good cookies.

After a less than filling meal at Hollingshead, I decided to get dessert in the form of a deep fried round thing with a hole in the middle. It was around noon on a Friday and the selection was limited. I decided to grab a raspberry jelly glazed donut and a chocolate donut speckled with colored sprinkles (not to be confused with chocolate sprinkles). Talk about an unimpressive donut experience. Both donuts were on the dry side, booo.

Although I love hole-​in-​the-​wall type donut shops… since they usually have the cutest old ladies who’ve been baking donuts the good ol artery clogging way for 30 years, I was pretty disappointed when I took a bite of the chocolate «cake» donut I got from Dolly’s. I use the word cake lightly because it tasted more like dried brownie crust minus the sugar. Although the donut was topped with a chocolate sauce and nuts, it still wasn’t enough to make me take a third bite (the first bite was «hmm is this really this bad?» and the second bite is «yes, it really is.»)
I’m giving this place two stars because my bf said that the jelly filled donut was good, but this is coming from a guy who can eat kiwi fruit with the fuzzy crap still on it. So make of that what you will…

My daughter and I stopped by Dolly’s a couple of weeks ago. This is a pleasant little shop and the women behind the counter were very nice.
The donuts looked good, we ordered and left. Then we had our first taste. Now, I’m no donut expert but these little treats were light and airy. I had a chocolate bar and my daughter had a chocolate cake donut. Both were so tasty. I guess we had grown use to the heavy, kinda greasy donuts so were pleasantly surprised by these. I took my husband there yesterday and the donuts were just as light and flavorful.
If you’re looking for a tasty treat I would highly recommend Dolly’s!

As I was waiting for Hollingshead’s Deli to open the other day, I decided to stop by Dolly’s for a donut or two (or seven). This is a quaint little donut shop down near downtown Orange, right in the same shopping center as Hollingshead’s, Duke’s Charbroiler, and Staples. What’s nice is that it’s pretty close to the Main Place Mall in Santa Ana, St. Joseph Hospital, and the 22 freeway. Although there’s nothing that truly sets this donut shop apart from other donut shops in the area, I did find a donut that looked really interesting here: a butterfly-​shaped raspberry donut. Of course, I ordered one and split it with the wifey (but I ate most of it). Other than that, Dolly’s also sells lotto tickets and calling cards, if you’re not in the mood for donuts or cookies.
