Best mom n pop donut shop . Open 24 hours and basically they got everything here! Donuts , bagels , breakfast burritos and sandwiches . Many choices on drinks too! From coffee to smoothies with boba ! Yum!

LAist

The WOW-nuts, a waffle-and-donut hybrid, are their signature. There are some great combinations like the Red Velvet Lust made with a red velvet waffle and cream cheese frosting . Read more

Veronica Chavira

Donut heaven! Try the Samoa Girl Scout cookie donut , red velvet bacon bits donut or the sprinkle cake donut . Every type of donut you can think of! Open 24 hours ! In business for 35 years!

Cronuts ! Red Velvet , DK's Original Glazed, Maple Bacon & much, much more! ???? ☕ Great Customer Service! Parking gets packed & a bit tight but, manageable- also, on street! 24 hours ! 7-eleven next door????

Eater

The chocolate twists, rainbow sprinkle cake doughnuts , and the long maple bacon bar are quite tasty at DK's Read more

Chris Cookson

Really fun donut shop with tons of varieties to choose from, all at affordable prices . Was predominantly featured in the Hulu documentary The Donut King and is a fascinating AAPI watch.

Robin Sanders

Gotta go for what they're known for. Waffle donuts ! I also had the red velvet waffle donut . That was good because I love red velvet ❤️❤️

Justin Ordoveza

Love their selection of donuts . Very inventive and unique creations with a large variety. The maple bar with bacon is a great choice.

Jason B

Quite the selection of donuts ! Bring cash, though! They don’t take cards, which is funny, because their booth at last year’s #EatPlayMove Filipino Foodie Fest accepted cards .

Paige C

What a selection! A little overwhelming and some were definitely more desirable than others. Cronut was great!

????

their specialty donuts are okay in terms of taste. presentation is fun. i've had better donuts =\. currently obsessed with their sprinkled donut holes or anything with sprinkles

Ryan Welch

Try the donuts . Seriously, you can't go wrong with any of their selections. I wouldn't run out for their O-Nut or waffle donut but their glazed is to kill for.

Chad

Soooo many great donut and cronut choices! The best spot we've come across in the Los Angeles area. Forget waiting in line in that other spot near Downtown.

Reina Salas

If you get a cronut , be sure to ask them to heat it up. That's the best way to have them!!! (Unless you are getting one with filling-then I'm not sure)

Mayly

We're open 24 hours & we're known for our maple bacon bars , our breakfast burritos and croissants , &our strawberry banana smoothies topped off with homemade whipped cream . Come in and meet the family!

gina mom

They have cronuts ! And a HUGE selection of basically everything: croissants , coffee , hot dogs , sandwiches , juices , fresh fruit ... You name it!

Yousif D

Best donuts ever!! They are so Fresh!! Get the original glazed with coconut , and you will never regret it!! ????????????

Jessie R

Donuts are really unique and delicious! The apple fritter is the best I've had.

BaltimoreGal

Older than I expected it to be but also pretty wild, the sheer number of donuts , plus the wild colors/flavors/decorations. Yum.

Connie Chiu

UBE DONUTS AND CRONUTS!! The donuts look beautiful sitting behind glass ???? and the guy who helped us was the best.

Moe Shehata

My friends and I loved it. We grubbed on donuts like there is no tomorrow. Try ordering ones with ice cream in the middle. #heaven #BMQ

Nate Tinner

They seem to always have some experimental item on the menu, usually tasty and a cholesterol nightmare.

Matt Lew

Part donut , part waffle , 100% fried and covered in sugar . Stop by DK’s for this delicious treat at 1614 Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica.

Jamie Hoang

Honey maple bacon donut . Yum. And the Nutella cronut !

Rob Harol

They are some of the fastest, nicest people you will ever meet. Oh, and the donuts are bomb.com!

Dianna K

Chris Donnelly

Great selection and 24 hours . They get regular business from me.

Jeff Solomon

Try the maple glazed cronut with bacon

Justin McCammon

They call Cronuts Onuts so they don't get sued. Taste great under any name. Follow them on instagram to gain 20 pounds instantly.

Thrillist

Pro-tip: They now have cronuts . Read more

Christian John Volz

Everything been here too delicious been here too many times????????j#@co my new runner.

Line-da Noche

It's usually a clusterfuck, with no clear organization , resulting in a lot of people waiting around the counter, with a long line and people feeling rushed to order without a chance to look at options

Lisa Sosa

I really loved the red velvet donut with cream cheese icing .

Deemah????

Best donuts ever ???????? ????

Maaham Aziz

Wownut was slightly disappointing. Ube Donut is a MUST!

Offbeat L.A.

Opened in 1980 by by Lee & Kong, two Khmer refugees who immigrated to America.

Tom McKeever

Amazing. Don't be afraid to buy a dozen and save some for later

Brad

Get the Cronut hole instead of the Cronut . They are both awesome but the whole is the best!

Winnie Khoo

Fave: pistachio ube

Garrick

I've driven past many Dunkin' Donuts to come here. Why suffer corporate blandness when you can get a tasty variety of pastries and support a classic local business?

Yarissa Martinez

just wanted cash (the have a private atm inside) no bathrooms and $5 per o-nut!

Erin

Go for the original glazed Cronut , can't go wrong!

Ernesto De La O

Best donuts in the Westside. Good deal on donut holes, 1 dozen for a dollar...I mean $1.75

Chris L

Wownuts - Part donut , part waffle , 100% fried and covered in sugar .

Graceface

Cronut was OK. Tasted more like a deep fried croissant with sugar and fillings. I guess the deep fried part makes it part donut ? AND it was $5!!!!

Buford Barnes

Wownuts . Part donut , part waffle , 100% fried and covered in sugar .

Jason Johnson

The blueberry apple fritters are amazing

Pamela Morin webbe
