Karen's Donuts - Redlands

This has got to be my favorite local donut spot. They sell out all the time, and it took me a few times to try various donuts since they were just out of some. Well at first, the ones I tried kept me coming back! Now I know to show up early, and get my dozen. There is something that sets this place apart. It's not just an apple fritter...it's the best apple fritter I've ever had. It's simple enough-the dough is soft and moist while the sugar is crisp with an almost buttery like melt in your mouth feel. Karen even though I have to run extra miles because of your donuts...I'm still gonna indulge-then run :

I actually love this place the donuts are great except the raspberry filled they have only one bite of raspberry jelly in them....No joke we have went at different times thinking it was just a fluke but no we realized they are skimping on purpose

Some of the best donuts I've ever had! Karen's Donuts was recommend to us for our Donut Wall at our wedding and the donuts were a huge hit! People loved them and they even stayed extremely fresh for the next 2 days after. Best local donut place in Redlands! Just be aware that they are cash only and often times close early as soon as they run out for the day.

Karen 's Donuts like the inside picture depicts is a pretty straight forward donut shop. It has relatively easy access and there is ample parking. This is a cash only business. I had my Apple Fritter and coffee. The coffee was on the milder side, but it wasn 't watered down. The Apple Fritter, see pic, was about the same diameter as others but was about half as thick as others. This fritter was crunchier, but not over cooked. It had the expected apple filling and sweet glaze. While we enjoyed our Apple Fritter there, it seemed to us that several regulars came in and we saw several Maple Bars (as well as Apple Fritters) being sold FYI.

The donuts are delicious and very affordable. I got one maple donut this morning and the glaze was good. The donut was a little too greasy for me. Service was fast and the staff are always friendly. It is a cash only place so be aware of that. The seating is limited and the place is clean. It's mostly a take and go place. Would recommend and go again.
