Baker’s Dozen Donuts - Riverside
6100 Magnolia Ave, Riverside, CA
Crema's Take
“This Riverside institution pairs exceptional handcrafted donuts—from classic glazed to inventive specialty varieties like strawberry-filled—with a genuinely warm staff that makes every visit feel personal. The retro-charm aesthetic and unhurried vibe create the perfect spot to linger with your coffee and pastry, whether you're catching up with friends or claiming a quiet corner for yourself. With both early and late hours and consistently fresh pastries throughout the day, Baker's Dozen has earned its reputation as a top-tier donut destination that feels less like a quick grab and more like a genuine neighborhood gathering place.”

Always the best! Went after 4pm and was worried the donuts would be stale, but they were super soft and fresh like always. Top 5 if not the best in the 37+ states I’ve been in.
The lady behind the counter was incredibly nice and the atmosphere is very calm. They have lots of good options, 100% recommend
First time trying them so yummy! I got a egg, cheese and bacon croissant with an old fashioned donut.
Cute throw back styling, nice staff, quick service, plenty of parking and an extensive selection. There are a lot of specialty donuts, croissants, and sweets as well as all the usual donuts like glazed, twist, chocolate dipped; both yeast and cake-style. I had the “cinnamon crumb coffee roll” - I don’t know if that’s its official name but that’s how it tasted and looked - and it was a tiny bit dry. But good! And my partner got a ham n cheese croissant but didn’t end up eating it because it had jalapeños and he didn’t know that plus he doesn’t like them. Still, I’d stop by again to try more and see if it was better or same next time for sure. Pricing is pretty standard for California. I think $7 and some change for one donut and the croissant.
I started going here recently. The customer service is top notch and always with a friendly smile. The strawberry filled donuts are so yummy too eat and the presentation of them is just as good. I bypass star donuts & yum yum donuts now to go to bakers dozen. To the staff: keep up the great work!!
