California Donuts is the quiet local favorite that every city needs. Being open 24 hours a day in K-Town helps as customers tend to queue up after the bar for a last bit of carbs and sugar before bed. Read more

#6 in LA seriously? It's all about presentation. The panda donut is actually better than the other two I got, and delicious with a good balance of the sweetness.

Open 24hrs . Earlier, the better, when they're freshest! Good donuts & cronuts . DK's Donuts in SAnta MOnica (1614 Santa Monica Blvd) is Better! Sketchy area but, always stoners/hipsters here! CHEAP !????

Mohammed Abu Hajar

Line looks long but the line goes fast. 1st timer, loved it. Love the variety!!! Not your typical boring donuts .I drove an 1hr just to pick up this sucker right here so worth the drive!!! ????❤️????????????????

Caitlin Taylor

For birthdays I do custom letter donuts - whatever phrase/sentence/word you want, any donut flavor. My favorite flavors are green tea , chocolate covered strawberry and fruit pebble ????????

LAist

The green tea glaze has a shade of green that makes you think of pastures on a hillside in Scotland. The taste is aromatic but not overbearing, and the dough is delightfully airy and substantial. Read more

Chocolate glazed strawberry a purple one I forgot what it's called were delicious. Green tea wasn't good. Maple bacon cronut was a hit with everyone but I didn't try it myself.

Ashley Dando

Delicious and donuts start at $1.50 going up to $4.50 for the specials. The peanut butter and Horchata were good

Michelle Arnaiz-Dela Rosa

They have some really awesome flavors. The line is always long no matter what time you go but it's worth the wait.

Mimi

Very good. Seen this concept/flavours in Asia before, so I'm very happy to see it implemented in the west coast. Hopefully it picks up in North America.

Starry Kitchen

#protip: avoid this place at all costs on Christmas Day. If your life depends on it, then disregard. If your life doesn't, come ANY OTHER TIME (and watch some netflix.. you're welcome!)

LA Weekly

There are so many classics to choose from, and at 95 cents each, there's no need to hold back. Read more

The cronut with nuttella and banana is the great one. Another cronut with peanut butter is yummy too.

Heather Knox

So busy but super good! Quick line , its inexpensive , and the service is good. win-win situation.

Bayan Bamukhayyar

The sugar donut is nice. The rest of the flavors are just ok honestly. It’s more about the texture of the dough here than the actual flavors.

Sarahh Kelsey

Maple bacon doughnuts . That should be all I have to say really. But all of their doughnuts are amazing!

It looks delicious, but not until you give it a bite, I think S&K donuts is better.

Monica Trajano

Great variety of choices, with themed donuts to fit your special occasions . Efficient order-taking system and fast service . Coffee is good too.

Daniella Cortez Alvarez

Probably the most perfect Boston cream donut I've ever had.

Their donuts are bad. It seems like this is just one of those places for the 'gram ????. It's not worth it for that either folks
