Our Story

Born on North Broadway,
built on patience.

Yes Donuts OC started with a simple conviction: if you're going to make a donut, make it the best one someone has ever bitten into. That means slow fermentation, local ingredients where possible, and glazes that actually taste like what they claim.

We're not a franchise. We're not a chain. We're a small shop on a busy corner in Santa Ana, and every single donut that leaves our kitchen has been touched by the same pair of hands that mixed the dough.

That's why we close when we sell out. That's why we don't do frozen. That's why people drive past three exits to find us.

The Process

From dough to glaze in
four deliberate steps.

01

Mix & Ferment

Our dough is mixed in small batches and left to ferment overnight. This develops flavor that no shortcut can replicate.

02

Shape & Proof

Each donut is hand-cut and shaped. Then it proofs slowly — never rushed. Speed is the enemy of texture.

03

Fry & Drain

Golden fry in clean oil, then drain on rack. No paper towels. We want the crust intact and the interior cloud-soft.

04

Glaze & Serve

Glazed by hand while still warm. Toppings applied with intention. Then they go into the display case — and they won't last long.
