WOW! WOW! WOW! Yum-0!! The smell hits you before you even open the door!! Once inside it's a totally cool little donut shop with a laid back skater attitude! The fritters are bigger than my husband's head! He had the pineapple fritter and was too busy eating and smiling to have anything negative to say. I had the strawberry cake that was delicious. Both donuts were as fresh as the snow on the mountain!

Not a coffee shop! They only have regular coffee, nothing else (in case you were looking here for lattes, macchiatos...etc). Service was quick and the cashier was efficient. There were only two guys working (that I saw) but their synergy was spot on and made a fantastic work flow of efficiency. Ham+Egg+Cheese+Jalapeño croissant sandwiches were super good! A little smashed but it didn't bother us one bit bc they tasted great. We even went back day 2 for the sandwiches again. According to our 10 year old, the Dank Nugs were great and the chocolate milk (he usually never finishes any place else) was gone before we left. This place has a lot of outdoor seating and is dog friendly, with water bowls for our fur friends.

This place not only has delicious donuts but also a deli that is exceptionally delicious! Came in here for a late breakfast one day and the glazed donuts were sold out, so I decided to opt for the samiches since I heard good things about them too. It did not disappoint! They were made fresh and because we were at the front of the line our wait was minimal. We were able to take some cute photos outside in the snow and were able to eat in the tables outside. The staff was extremely helpful and recommended their fave donuts that were still available. We will definitely be coming back.

If you are in Big Bear, a stop at Dank Donuts is a must! The Apple fritter is HUGE with chunks of apples. The blueberry, maple long John (bar) and cronut were scrumptious! They have covered seating outdoors and are pet friendly, Street parking is available. There was no line when we arrived, but they are a busy place. Will definitely stop here again!

Charming little shop with some really nice folks operating the day to day. The line moved quick because they keep a simple and streamlined menu and the folks working make their customers feel very welcomed. The breakfast burrito and donuts were delicious. 10/10 would come back again!

This is close to the Big Bear Mountain Resort and a great spot to pick up a sweet treat before or after snowboarding or skiing. The shop inside is small but there's a lot of seating outside to enjoy. They have a limited assortment of donuts, I got some of them to try. My favorites are the Blueberry Cake Donut and Cronut. Both were the right amount of sweetness. The soft and slightly dense of the blueberry cake donut was just right. The Cronut had a couple layers with a sugar glaze on top. I thought the Strawberry Donut Holes were too sweet. We were served pretty quickly. They also have donuts for dogs that they make fresh everyday!

The need to sample all the donuts compelled us to drive out of our way to Dank. We arrived around lunch time, not really sure what to expect from parking, donut availability, flavor options or anything else. Parking was a breeze - lots of street spots available just a short walk from the shop (not in front, though, because a FedEx truck had chosen to park *across* all the spots in front of the shop, effectively blocking the street.) The donut availability was a bit lacking, but we expected that, since we didn't go in the morning. They still had a decent amount of donuts - enough to offer a variety - for us to choose from. The flavor options, though, is where we took the hit. There were only a few flavors, most of them "normal", with a handful of seasonal offerings. Again, not so big a deal, but I am curious what their fully-stocked cases look like. I sent my husband in to buy some sweets for us to try, while I waited out on the covered patio with the pups. Fair warning for those with dogs coming after: the patio is not really maintained, so be prepared to wrangle your dogs, especially if their favorite pastime is scrounging the pavement for others' scraps. My husband ended up getting four donuts, two each of their Cronuts ($2.85) and two each of their Halloween-themed cake donuts ($2.10). He also got a couple iced chai drinks for us to wash down the sweet. The donuts were good, they tasted fresh, were dense and flavorful. I did prefer the cronut to the cake donut - the cronut was flaky and sweet, crispy and soft. The themed cake donut was a spiced concoction, with candied jimmies on top. It had good flavor as well, but was a bit too dense, a bit too holiday spiced for my liking. We had planned on going back before leaving the area - we wanted to try some of their savory food options, which seemed crazy and off-brand for a donut shop, but intriguing nonetheless - but we just ran out of time. And stomach space.

This place fills up it was bad fast so we hit it early and had all the options available. We wanted a hot coffee on a cold day and they serve hot, local coffees. They sell the beans too. We went with a couple of pumpkin donuts options. We got the cream filled and the cake. The cream filled was so good. The filling wasn't overly sweet. It was perfect compliment to the donut cake. We also picked up a dog donut at check out. The service was quick and they got us in and out. We saw the line forming as we left around 8 so get there early! On the next days visit I got the ham, cheese, and jalapeno breakfast sandwich that was tasty and a steal at $7!

It's hard to rate a donut shop when you show up about a half hour before they close. They had only a couple cronuts and a huge cinnamon roll left. But that was okay. I ordered a regular coffee and my wife got whatever fancy coffee vanilla thing. The cronut was super good and flaky. Honestly the best cronut I've ever had. That mega cinnamon roll was damn good. Not as cinnamon as I'd expect but it was still a good bite. One roll took up an entire pink box. Yeah. One big pink box. That coffee though. I don't know how to say this without it sounding like an insult, because it's not. That was the most basic coffee tasting coffee I've ever had, and it was wonderful. It didn't have any hint of burnt flavor, it wasn't too strong, but it wasn't too weak. It was the perfect flavor and it was... dank, dawg. Hopefully I can make it back here at a reasonable time when they have some fresh stuff (because again, my bad for expecting a large selection at 4PM). Like Agent Cooper says "Damn good coffee".
