Foster’s Donuts

Surly counter person on a Saturday morning. ½ doz at $ 5.75 high by comparison to other local places. Presented cc to pay and with a grunt «not want pay cash, 75 cents use credit card». 6 donuts had already been crammed into a too small bag… With her 75 cent charge I told her «keep the donuts».

I dont come here as often as I used to for health reasons, but I cruised in here at 4am the other day on my way to La Quinta for a quick coffee and doughnut. The Carls Jr. across the street has a big enough parking lot to park my Tanker Truck n Trailer.
The donuts have always been great here, and I was reminded of that coming in. I got a Peanut-​Butter filled Chocolate doughnut, as that has always been my default doughnut. It is big and thick enough to fill you up by itself. (Dont be nasty) Maple and Chocolate bars receive honorable mention here, as do the old fashioned glazed.
The Coffee is OK. A tad watered down, but it does the trick.
I have never received great service here before. Most of the time they are indifferent, a few times they have been a bit rude. IDGAF, I came here for doughnuts and coffee, not to make friends with anybody.

Yummy! Owner isn’t all that nice, but the donuts r scrumptious.

I love this place. Especially their chocolate chip and their peanut butter donuts. The always have fresh stuff for me at 6 in the morning. And the staff is always friendly

We were on our way to drop our lil boy off at school when we stopped in for doughnuts. I paid for the doughnuts and drink and did not get change back witch is really not a big deal so i did not mention it .on my way out i requested a paper bag so my boy could take his sack to class. I see many sizes of the white paper bag on top of the counter. The asian lady pulled out a plastic food for less bag. I tell the lady I’m sorry a paper bag. She says i don’t have any and you don’t need it. I was so amazed on how cheap she was that i just walked out. I wouldn’t go back if it was the last place on earth. Never !

Don’t go there just because they have an offer or deal they will not honor it. Donuts were good but the lady was rude when I let her know I checked in

I would not recommend this place at all and I’ve been going there for years. The donuts themselves are ok, unless you get them in the afternoon, then they are a bit stale.
It’s the service that’s awful. It’s a couple that owns and works the counter. The older man is really nice! Always has a smile and really cool. But his wife is not nice at all, she is downright rude. I get sugar donuts and ask that they be put in a separate bags so that the sugar doesn’t get all over the other donuts. Most places they are really cool about giving me a different bag, but when I asked her for the same courtesy I got a NO! Not just a no, sorry we don’t do that, its a NO I WILL NOT DO THAT. Last time I said forget it and just left. I went in this time to get cream puffs because those are really good. But when I asked to have them put in boxes I was charged for boxes as if it wasn’t already included in the price. Granted it was .35 cents a box, I wouldn’t have had such a problem paying that but the way she acted was juvenile.
Up until now I have been able to look past her rudeness but not anymore. I’ll go to jenny’s donuts which is down the street! Sorry to the older man. I really do enjoy supporting the Redlands mom and pop shops, but as a customer I don’t think people deserve the kind of service this lady provides.

Used to frequent Fosters for donuts because it was really the only place in Redlands for donuts. In the last few years the quality of donuts have dropped significantly, and the older Asian lady is very rude and short with customers. She reminds me of the soup nazi off of Seinfeld. In the last 3 visits I have yet to receive fresh donuts. NOT going back.

These donuts are the perfect donuts for those groggy mornings. I love them like a fat kid loves cake! I have been coming here with Grampapi ever since I was young. Good price and great donuts YUM!

I found this place, and wanted to try it out, and man im so glad i did! I love their coffee and donuts. They’re always fresh. The people here are friendly and cordial. If you’re in the area, please do yourself a favor and stop by. Just met «Pop» Warener’s dad too, who also stops in occasionally.

Stopped by Foster’s Donuts for a quick donut pick-​me-​up. The interior was fine, your typical mom-​and-​pops shop. They didn’t have as much donut variety as I had hoped. Your typical glazed, sugar, crème puffs, french crullers and bear claws. I got a glaze and french cruller, which came out to ~ $ 0.90 per donut. Not bad. The donuts were decent as well, nothing mind-​blowing. I would say that Foster’s is a fine donut spot if you’re craving sweets.

I haven’t tried their donuts, so why write a review? Well, because their Thai iced tea with boba is delicious! I’ve had Thai iced tea at other places and it doesn’t come close. I don’t indulge very often, it’s considered a treat :) I come here maybe once a month, or twice ;) I recommend you give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

It’s been my weekly routine to come here for the past two years, and for good reason. Great staff, great food, great service and very friendly atmosphere. Much better service compared to other donut places around the area. If you’re looking for a good donut shop experience, Fosters is the best place to go!

I’ve come to this donut shop for 7 years and every time I am revisited with the same kindness and hospitality. I am a customer for life because of not only the amazing donuts, but the extraordinary service! A+

This use to be my favorite doughnut place until my husband and I saw the grossest thing at this shop. We saw a worker take out the trash. We came into the shop right after him, and he asked «what can I get you?» We asked him if he could wash his hands before he served us. He said «Oh no, I can’t» My husband asked him «you can’t wash your hands after you took out the trash?» He said «Oh no». We walked out and will never be back.

First thing’s first: TRY THE COFFEE. I’ve been going to this place ever since I can remember! So much that seeing Lisa every morning on my way to school became a regular thing for me. The donuts here are amazing and inexpensive compared to any of the other donut shops in town. Add all this to the fact that they’re open ²⁴⁄₇ and you have everything you need. The coffee is to die for– literally. It’s roasted perfectly. Foster’s is far more superior than Yum Yum. There’s no denying it.

This is the first donut shop we stopped in because of its distance to our home. However, there are plenty other donut shops around and we have yet to try them all.
So, this place was good because it satisfied our donut craving at the time. The gentleman that was there was very friendly and kind. He spoke about the business belonging to his wife and how he was her employee. Also spoke about his family in Texas and throughout the US. There was another older gentleman there who stared at me for a long period of time, which I found to be funny instead of rude. I made no mention of this to my husband, but I figured he couldn’t help facing my direction as we were sitting across from him, lol.
This establishment is rather small at the front with two-​three tables available. There is a coffee stand where you can get napkins, mixing straws, add sugar, creamer and chocolate to your drink. It was a little dirty but nothing that would make me thing I was going to get infected. Just your regular donut shop. The tables and chairs are a bit outdated and well used so they look a bit dirty and had some random sugar spills and random stains here and there. The windows are covered in promotional ads, which I’m guessing is to prevent some of the harsh sunlight that comes from that direction.
The selection of donuts was fair. As it was later in the day when we arrived so I’m assuming that a lot of the donuts that were made earlier were already purchased (thus the messy tables and such).
There is a $ 0.75 surcharge for using your credit card here, so if you value that amount, I suggest you pay in cash.
Overall this place was very enjoyable and welcoming. Being that it was our first time here I can’t really say of there are recurring negatives here.
We will more likely return again, because the customer service and conversation made our stay that much better.

This is hands down the best donut shop in the world. The donuts are always fresh and tasty. Dare I say addicting and the employees are a delight.

You’ve got to love a donut shop that is open around the clock, 24 hours a day. I’d give a bonus star just for that. The interior is not fancy — super basic, bare bones, mom and pop looking, but the workers (owners?) are super friendly.
A friend and I came by to pick up a couple of dozen donuts to take to the dance studio with us, so even though the seating was limited (only two-​four seater tables) it wasn’t an issue. The prices are super reasonable, only $.85 each for plain cake donuts; I don’t remember the price for a dozen.
The donuts were fresh and light (I hate heavy cake-​like donuts) and very tasty. Everybody at the dance studio was pleased with them. I had a glazed donut and it was super fluffy and had just the right amount of glaze on it. The glaze had a nice texture and was not overly sweet.
The parking lot was tiny (I mean REALLY cramped) but it wasn’t hard to find a space on a Saturday morning.
Great donuts…
Nice people running the store…
Reasonable prices.
Where could you possibly go wrong?

Great service and great donuts/​coffee! Employees always outgoing and talkative. They have everything from croissants to bagels and have so many selections from donuts. I’ve tried most if not all their donuts and come here everyday.
