Dank Donuts

Overview

Dank Donuts has become a well-known breakfast and snack stop in Big Bear Lake thanks to its combination of fresh donuts, casual food and convenient location near many of the area’s outdoor recreation spots. The atmosphere is relaxed and laid-back with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating that works well for quick breakfasts, coffee stops or grabbing food before spending the day outside. Its location makes it especially popular with skiers, snowboarders, mountain bikers and hikers looking for something fast but more local than a chain coffee shop.

the Food

While the donuts are the main draw for many visitors, the restaurant also serves breakfast sandwiches, casual lunch sandwiches and coffee drinks that make it more than just a dessert stop. Guests often stop in for quick breakfast meals before heading to Snow Summit, the bike park or nearby hiking trails. The menu leans toward easy grab-and-go food that travels well for outdoor adventures while still offering enough seating for casual dine-in meals.

Things to Know

Dank Donuts is especially busy during winter mornings, bike park season and holiday weekends when visitors are heading toward the slopes or trails early in the day. The patio seating makes it a convenient stop for guests traveling with dogs, though seating can fill quickly during peak morning hours. Many visitors choose takeout specifically because of the restaurant’s proximity to outdoor recreation areas around Big Bear Lake.
