Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable spots selling those treats in Santa Ana, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to satisfy your appetite?
1. Luv 'N Donuts
Topping the list is Luv 'N Donuts. Located at 1421 W. MacArthur Blvd., Suite D, it's the highest-rated low-priced doughnut spot in Santa Ana, boasting 4.5 stars out of 216 reviews on Yelp.
Yelper Evelyn N., who recently reviewed Luv 'N Donuts, wrote, "I am a doughnut fanatic, and I have been looking for a good doughnut place since moving back to Santa Ana. This place hit the spot. The dough is chewy, yet still moist so it is basically perfect. They offer a large variety of options."
Ralph S. added, "A neighborhood style with some good choices, both fancy and regular."
2. Sam's Donuts
Next up is Sam's Donuts, at 2641 N. Grand Ave. With five stars out of 50 reviews on Yelp, the breakfast and brunch spot, which offers doughnuts, juices and smoothies, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a low-priced option.
Yelper Michael M. wrote, "Sam's has a variety of items available. I got two doughnuts and the turkey, ham and egg croissant with cheese and jalapeños. All of it was less than $8, for great-sized portions. The sandwich was delicious. The egg looked fairly thick, and the cheese was deliciously melted and gooey. The doughnuts were above average. The vibe, atmosphere and food are definitely worth five stars."
3. Duck's Donuts
Sunwood Central's Duck's Donuts, at 2307 S. Bristol St., Suite A, is another top choice. Yelpers give the affordable spot to score doughnuts, coffee, tea, juices and smoothies 4.5 stars out of 80 reviews.
Yelper Tye H., who recently reviewed Duck's Donuts, wrote, "Their donuts are like crack and I just cannot get enough. Always fresh, light, fluffy, the perfect amount of sweetness, no matter what time and day you come."
Yelper Sean A. wrote, "This place was easy to find, plenty of parking... Many different non-traditional doughnut flavors, as well (s'mores, French toast, Heath bar, maple bacon, etc.)."
4. D.K.'s Donuts
Last but not least is D.K.'s Donuts. It's another inexpensive go-to, with four stars out of 67 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1816 N. Tustin Ave. to see for yourself.
Yelper Katie B., who reviewed D.K.'s Donuts on March 3, wrote, "This spot is convenient, with a driveway to enter the lot from two different streets. Also, there are three outside ordering windows, and one is a drive-thru. The doughnuts are fantastic!"
Dan C. noted, "Excellent doughnuts—both delicious and on a budget. My favorite is definitely the stacked doughnut (alternate layers of chocolate and glaze)."
