Monarch Donuts - Arcadia

A friend of mine recommended this Donut place and I'm in love. The owner Jonathan has the best applesitter I've ever tasted. He has a variety of different donuts and they are all delicious. Definitely will return to this Donut Square. It is so unique that it is only open from 5 am to 9 pm and if you want their most famous frit, you better get their early. Easy parking. Place only takes cash no credit cards. Their donuts are full of love for women who cook in the kitchen.

Let's go with the CON first, because by going with the CON, this review will end on a high note!The owner of this establishment is very friendly. But at times friendliness doesn't lead to the best customer experience. Confused? His friendly nature can lead him to chat up a storm with a customer and hampers how quickly you get your hands on some delicious donuts. If you see more than 2 people waiting in line, and you are in a hurry... Might want to consider going to a different location.HOWEVER, if time is no concern, and you want to get to know your local small business AND get your hands on some delicious donuts. Come on over! He makes delicious donuts and is very friendly. Apple fritter is his calling card but all the donuts are pretty good.

This place is a great place to get a great donut with a great person. Jonathan not only makes delicious donuts but sells out fast because that's how delicious they are. If you ever have a craving for donuts this spot is great. I am going to recommend this to everyone I know. He does not know it but he made my birthday very special

My family and I were in the area and my son wanted a donut. Monarch happened to be the closest. Boy were we lucky enough to stumble across Jonathan and his amazing story. The passion he has, and his perspective on life only adds a cherry on top of the delicious and fresh donuts he creates. I wish I lived closer because my goodness, they were beyond great!

We are on holiday and came across this place on an early morning walk. The croissants are huge and perfectly made, not greasy or oil soaked but just perfectly moist. The donuts ? are to die for, again not greasy or oil filled but perfectly cooked and so many different varieties to choose from.The guy running the shop is a real gent, will do anything to help.You have to get there early because this place is so popular it is usually sold out by 8-8.30am.We will be visiting every day we are here, nothing like a fresh donut ? or croissant to start the day.
