50 Best Donuts near East Los Angeles

“I have never been more impressed with a donut shop in my life! So first off the gentleman behind the counter calls everyone "My friend" and has the most energetic and welcoming demeanour, the woman behind the counter is just as sweet. This is more than just a donut shop, they have an extensive menu with burgers, sandwiches, chilli cheese fries, Boba tea, Ice cream, and one of the biggest donuts I've ever seen. It's only $11!!!! It could seriously feed a family of 4. I saw a "Grand Re-opening" sign so I'm assuming the place has been renovated recently, and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! Everything is so clean and modern. The foot traffic is pretty decent, It's no surprise since this is gonna be my new go-to donut shop. So excited to taste the menu some more!“

“I love the moist juicy meaty b7 it's Han bacon egg and cheese also the prices are cheap the quality and quantity is amazing the people are very nice and also cooperative to help foreigners understand you should show some support Ti this small business also the amazing ice coffee they say it is the most popular thing that they sell the smoothies are really good to they add boba whipped cream and cocoa powder ten out of ten delicious“

“Every time I’m in LA/Eagle Rock, I have to stop by here. The donuts are sooo good, creative flavors, and fresh. I buy a dozen or 2 and trail my butt back to OC and my family is so excited. The vegan donuts are sooo good!! Don’t let that ube cake donuts fool you, it’s so soft and airy. My favorite along with vegan ube glaze. Yum!“

“I must have died and gone to doughnut heaven. The donut texture is fluffy with a pleasant slight chew, and not oily or too sweet for the most part. Most were priced $4-5 each but I find it worth it for the quality of the ingredients.Our favorites are the misugaru (roasted soybean) because it's mild and nutty and has a chewy filled mochi inside. The black sesame is also intensely nutty with a chewy mochi inside too. My wife loves the sweet potato cream the most because it has fresh sweet potato puree along with milk cream, and it's the Korean/Japanese sweet potato that's delightfully sweet and nutty.Tiramisu had plenty of rich cocoa powder accompanying the tangy cream (probably cream cheese mixed in it?). The bitterness of the cocoa was the best together with the cream.The strawberry milk cream had a small amount of strawberry pieces but the cream was so milky rich yet light at the same time. The blueberry one is the exact same except with a few blueberries so I slightly prefer the strawberry one.Matcha creme brulee had strongly flavored matcha cream but I'm not too much of a fan of the sugar crust top. I might still try the regular creme brulee next time to compare the regular custard.Our least favorite was the apple cinnamon because the icing was too sweet but the presentation was beautiful with the pieces of apple inside.We saw quite a line build up after us at 10am so I'd come early since they open at 9am until they sell out! The parking lot is nice and big so it wasn't any trouble finding parking. The mall also has other interesting stalls like a kimbap and udon one if you need some savory to offset the sweet.“

“Jenny and Julian are so nice they were closing up and i just missed them and Julian went back in and gave me these delicious cinnamon twist . Thanks Julian . You and Jenny are amazing the food is always top tier . Next time I’ll have to come get your famous breakfast sandwich and vanilla ice “

“I'm not from here but this morning I had a really yummy omelet and the donuts are so good the people that work there are very hospitable and friendly thank you“

“Let the reader know that I have no dietary restrictions and am an aggressive card carrying gluten lover. In spite of my ignorance and need to consume wheat proteins, Hello You're Welcome has quickly become my wife and I's FAVORITE coffee spot. The frittata's dominance of the egg scene is truly spectacular. I keep eating it before I remember to take a picture.“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“Very happy with what I bought today, the donuts were amazing and the person who helped me was very happy and had a smile on his face I was very content with the glazed donuts because they werent dry and they werent small either and i think this donut shop lives up to its rating, the ambience is very welcoming for a donut shop. Awsome 10/10 better than yum yum and winchells donuts.“

“Virtu has been a much-needed addition to the neighborhood. They make excellent drinks with the utmost attention to detail. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and work quickly (I usually grab coffee before the train so speed is important). They’ve got a range of food options and seating inside and out with good music/vibes. Highly recommend.“

“Best donuts this side of the Mississippi! Returning early 2019. YAY!!!“

“Donuts are and come with a beautiful story. Johnathon, the owner and baker, works super hard to deliver a quality product and you can taste it! The apple fritter, cinnamon crunch, and glazed old fashioned were our faves but they were all delicious! For walk up they take cash, but if you preorder, you can Zelle and pickup which is super convenient. The letter donuts are super creative and made in whatever delicious flavors you prefer. It's a small place but has a ton of heart and donuts are delicious!“

“This is my alternate option during my lunch time. It’s a small shop run by wonderful ladies. They’re always welcoming & friendlyMy typical order is a Roast Beef sandwich with everything - lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and avocadoI usually follow this with their Vietnamese iced coffee. This is an extra boost of power halfway through my day.“

“I stop here sometimes in the morning before work to get donuts for everyone. They're so good. It's just a woman and her husband and both of them are super nice and super helpful. I went in today with a friend of mine to get lunch and it was really good, really filling and affordable. The woman working seems to really care about the customers and will talk to them and remember little bits about them. If you're ever in Silverlake you have to stop here. Q“

“This is a very nice family ran business. This business is one of my family's go to spots on our on the go or running too late to cook breakfast, but really need to eat something mornings. Our favorite is the number five croissant sandwich for breakfast. I get mine without mayonnaise, I order it that way, but they'll sometimes forget. Their kindness and hospitality makes up for it. Their doughnuts are super fresh and yummy too.“

“Their donuts are freaking amazing. I bought it at 11am on Sunday morning (No Doubt or Maroon 5?), kept it in the box until Monday morning, in which we ate it at 7:30am. It was still so yummy as if we just bought it. The Old Fashion was still crispy. The glazed donut wasn't as glazey but still yummy. Chocolate frosting was definitely chocolatey.Get your donuts here guys. I drove from Tarzana to Glendale for these donuts. Worth it.“

“BEST CLASSIC DONUTS IN LA HANDS DOWN.Lived in LA for over 5 years now and will go out of my way to drive here. Beats the bougie hipster donuts and viral spots. Always tastes so fresh and not dry and hits the spot. Also supporting a local family owned spot!“

“Great place and delicious protein donuts!“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“Donuts are so fresh and delish. Been going there since they opened. Lunch is also good and freash.“

“I have been going to Rose’s since the early 90’s, I even met my husband there while in high school. Rose’s is a staple of our community, always a kind face, a kind welcome and conversation to be had. Wonderful people, delicious food! Unlike any other!“

“great donuts! great service!“

“This review is long overdue! I had such a great experience at this location. I have been to the Brea location as well and this one is my favorite. The customer service is great and the food is delicious. I like to eat there because it's better fresh and it was nice and clean inside.“

“Ice cream + donuts is always a hit! Service here is always fast and friendly! I love their Paramoreo donut with Paramoreo ice cream! (Think Cookie Monster Oreo ice cream) My only complaint is that they don't have as much donut options as their sister shop, Donut Friend. Parking can be kind of tricky as it does get busy on sunset and it's street parking only.“

“Excellent service, sweet ladies, great prices & a humble atmosphere�“

“My family and I have gone here for years! The owners are super sweet and the donuts and drinks are amazing.“

“Yum! Yum! Yum! I could eat here everyday. Wait, don't tell me they're plant-based!?! These tasty, melt-in-your-mouth delights are the best donuts I have ever had. They rival my favorite donut shop back home, but being healthier kinda wins my vote for being the best. The gals working today in the shop were just the nicest folks we met out here in LA. Recommend taking a box of these decadent treats home for later!“

“Creative and cute donuts that taste so good! Wonderful family business“

“A humble, unassuming, little donut shop run by the sweetest people. We've come here fairly often for the massive hot breakfast sandwiches that come with a free coffee. (Great prices compared to Starbucks down the street btw). There's a lot of options and I've enjoyed everything I've had here so far. The coffee can be caffeinated or decaf. The creamers are stored to the side with ice packs. There are other drinks in a fridge and snack options to the side of the register. The blueberry donut is really good. I've also enjoyed their custard filled donut which was full of custard. If you order a ham and cheese croissant, they cut it in half and heat it up for you, which is a nice service. The cheese inside is really good. The interior is pretty small, but there's some seats if you want to sit down and have your breakfast. We always get ours to go. On our most recent visit they were having a fundraiser for their friend that perished in the Monterey Park shooting. So glad to have this staple in the neighborhood and to have a small business to support! Highly recommended little breakfast spot :)“

“First prices are (great) we had 2 maple bars, one ham and cheese croissant, a sugar twist for about $8 and they threw in some donut holes too! The donuts were so good and soft just perfect. Nice place to pick up donut and affordable. Highly recommend.“

“The iced coffee is soo good! I come here to get donuts for work and they're always fresh and soft. Customer service is always on point. Parking in the mornings can be a bit tricky bc of the traffic around the schools but definitely worth it.“

“We have passed this donut shop for well over 20 plus years....out and about. Boston I decided to drop in and give it a shot coffee is better than Starbucks and their Maple covered donut outstanding. Young lady behind the counter extremely joyful.“

“Usually I don't like writing reviews but I bought glazed donuts for all my coworkers and the donuts were so fluffy, fresh from the oven and delicious. I'm so happy they really loved it. Specially the owner they are so nice and friendly. I will order again, I highly recommend this restaurant and Thank you សូមអរគុណ“

“These are the Best Donuts ? in Compton, Hands down!! Perfect Sweetness, Nice and Fluffy. The staff is Professional, and polite. They smelled so good I had to eat one before I took a picture. I highly recommend for anyone in search of great quality donuts.“

“I always go to the donut shop for its house made sodas or a nice breakfast sandwich but I went with something different and got the sundae and the owners are always nice no matter what the time and always show respect, they always make good food and can make you feel at home and have great service. The environment feels so friendly and nice you can never feel separated or disrespected as they always show respect. Overall a great place“

“Cinnamon roll here is quite good. It is located in a strip plaza that's not super convenient to turn into but it's a solid option. That said, if you are near the shop you might as well drive down a bit more to Rose Donuts where they have a better cinnamon roll and generally more options, donuts and sandwiches.“

“Really decently priced. I got 2 dozen donuts this morning and it was $15.50 per dozen. The person who helped me was very kind and helpful, even made sure to bring out a batch of maple bars as an option. The place is clean and the environment is much of what you expect of a donut shop. Would definitely go again for the prices and the service!“

“Excellent, delicious croissants!“

“Was randomly craving donuts and this spot showed up on my google search with a high rating, definitely did not disappoint. They have soooo many options to choose from when it comes down to drinks and food (sandwiches, boba, fresh squeezed juices…) and if you’re feeling lucky, they also have lottery tickets and scratchers. Bought half a dozen donuts which were delicious and 2 drinks. I really enjoyed my green tea lemonade and the raspberry one was also good. The customer service was great. The gentleman who served us our drinks was so nice and welcoming with a great smile. Will definitely be going back.“

“Excellent donuts here! Just stopped by on a whim and we were very impressed! I had a chocolate twist and my husband got the glazed twist. Both were so excellent that we wouldn't share with each other because we couldn't bear not finishing what we started.... Both donuts were warm and extremely fresh!! The chocolate icing was perfect; not overpowering but very complimentary to the donut that was so flavorful, I could have eaten it plain and still enjoyed it just as much! This place is a gem and we will definitely be back!“

“Prices have gone up from when I 1st started going with my GF. I remember my GF and I would go specifically for her bobas but they are now 6$ I remember literally a year ago they were 4.75$ the doughnuts are just ok. You can tell when they are yesterdays or even the day before. They crumble apart. Besides that we did find that going to winchells Doughnuts was much less expensive and better.“

“You will not be disappointed getting coffee here! The coffee is delicious and not to mention the amazing atmosphere here. The minute you walk in you are greeted with a smile from the owners! I can’t get over how CONSISTENT their coffee is. You know sometimes you go places and get a bad cup/ shots are brewed wrong or it’s just overly sweet but every single time I stop the coffee has been nothing but perfect! I enjoy stopping here and wish I could every single day for my coffee!“

“the owner is a fantastic guy who supports first responders and has met this pandemic with a smile and hard work“

“Free parking. Old fashioned mom and pop donut shop. Glad they still exist. Everything looked so yummy, so many great choices. Like a kid in a candy store (donut store). Chose these this visit: bear claws, apple fritters, chocolate donut, cream filled donuts. Everything tasted fresh and superb. They even threw in two free donut holes in our order. $.50 to use credit card.“

“The owners of this donut store are great people and they will do whatever they need to do to make sure you're taking care of. On the other hand, this place is swarming with lottery ticket people that take up the tables all day long and end up getting in your way and almost ignoring anyone else that's there just to get donuts or coffee.“

“Mr. Good's makes some delicious donuts. They really take pride in producing these delectable treats, and you can taste it. mmm“

“2 sandwiches & 1 coffee for only $13. You can't find a better price for this deal in LA, except for at this neighborhood local bakery! My boyfriend took me here on a sunny Sunday morning for a quick bite before a Clippers game. I was so shocked at the prices, as I'm so used to blown up prices in DTLA. I usually restrain myself from eating a Bagel because I usually can't stop, but I thought, what the hey, the price is so good, why not? The bakery owner will make the sandwich fresh and hot for you if you're willing to wait a quick 5 minutes. I finished the whole thing in one sitting (which I usually don't) because it was just so good. They also have an awesome Vietanmese coffee that will authentically smack you in the face, like it's supposed to. I had such a wonderful experience, I'll definitely be back for the awesome prices and delicious sandwiches.“

“On Christmas morning, we woke up with bad colds and decided to order donuts. We chose Angel Food Donuts and when they arrived, there was a hand written note on the box apologizing for not having one of the donuts we'd requested and about twice as many donuts as we'd ordered in other flavours in its place. AND NOT ONLY THAT! The donuts were just delicious. We couldn't find their phone number to call and than them in person but hopefully someone there will see this. Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!!“

“Great customer service, friendly and clean. I have been buying Dodger Donuts for a few years for my coworkers. Cost is $30 for special decorated dozen donuts with no filling inside. Always fresh and tasty. I recommend this shop for all donut lovers.“

“I come here to buy Lotto tickets but do love their bakery good as well. I've had their ham and cheese croissants, so good. Their donuts are amazing and smoothies delicious! When I'm in the mood for a good donut of croissant, this is my go to spot!!“
