Reviews of California Donuts
Clanda Sh
I've gotta say, I really enjoyed the texture of their yeast donuts! They are airy, fluffy, moist, and most importantly, not overly sweet! Not to mention, so many outstanding flavors to choose from. (Yea, I can't get enough of this place!) Bonus points: they open 24/7. Also, they do customized donuts. Good for events, birthdays, and even engagement proposals. The only con is the parking! It's located in a fairly small plaza, and it is always super packed. But still, it's a must in Ktown. One of the best in LA! So good!
Elaine Lieu
I absolutely love donuts and the donuts here do not disappoint! I haven't been here in a while due to the parking situation, but it was not as painful as I had thought. Coming around 6:30, there was a short wait and I was able to get my order quickly! Service was great as well despite to deal with endless customers at this busy location.
The parking lot is a bit small and you’ll have to find street parking instead if you’re not lucky.
Would definitely come back again to try out the other donuts since they look amazing. The panda donut was yummy and the butter pretzel donut was amazing, fluffy and flavorful.
This place is also open 24 hours which is a nice bonus to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings at any time.
Mrs. S
Great place for big, moist (IkIk, people had this word) quality donuts! They aren't fried up to the point you can taste oil. Great donuts but not at a great price. For 1 dozen donuts, cost was 33 or 43 dollars. But let me tell you, when I served these to the friends and family, they were gone and all eaten! OPEN 24HRS! View the type of selection they have in my photos. -1 for the price, but they don't deserve the minus so I didn't. I know the price or food is ever increasing so it's expected. Fast service. The staff could be a little nicer. Perhaps they were having a bad day. I will totally go again! I recommend this place.

If you’re looking for fluffy, sugary goodness then California Donuts is your spot. I tried their original glazed and cookies & cream donuts. You’re not overwhelmed with sweetness, which is a huge plus for me. The texture of the donut itself was smooth to bite off of. Nice doughy/bready smell inside too. Best part is they’re open 24/7!! :)
10/10

First time trying this donut place. It’s located in a small plaza so I advise parking on the street. Like all donut places, it is super sweet but the difference this shop is unique for is its wide selection of different themed donuts. Classic donuts cost $1.75 while the specialty theme donuts are $2.75 per piece.
Sky Thai
Woo! What a fun collection of donuts that are available 24/7!! Such fun creations and classic donuts so you'll find one that resonates with you.
Service was friendly and easy to deal with. The parking lot was small, but was lucky enough to snag a spot. I ended up choosing the Twix Donut and it was just what I needed! Twix pieces on top with some extra caramel and chocolate drizzle! Very cute a delish!
Paul You
Yoo if you like donuts, you know where to go. The sheer number of people that come through at all hours makes sure it keeps the donuts coming out fresh. But I wouldn’t even come for the donuts, I’d come for the croissant sandwiches. Have them warm em up, and you got yourself a solid meal. Their OJ is BOMB.
Kirt Kingzett
This place had the best apple fritter I think I've had in a long time if ever. I stumbled upon this place after spending a few hours at Wii spa. This location is much better than the other one around the corner. The variety of donuts is awesome spend about $4 per donut which isn't too bad for what you get. And I would absolutely go back for that apple fritter!!
Soogi c
Some of donuts were pretty good, not all of them we tried.
I personally don’t like sugary icing, and I liked how they use white chocolates.
Matcha flavor was one of the best I’ve tried for donut topping. (It’s often taste like just sugar with green color at other donut shops.)
We always get maple bacon bar when we go to donut shop, and this one was the least favorite :-( The bacon had off smell, so we had to toss it.
Boston cream was not so good.
But we enjoyed others.
Buttermilk donut, apple fritter, crumble donut, matcha strawberry, butter cookie, etc.
Great price fancy donuts, but not so good for some basic donuts.
Parking is very limited.
Maria Clara Dos Santos E Sousa
I always take friends and family when they come here and it is always a hit. I have been to other locations but they do not compare to this one, FYI! Donuts are always fresh and yummy. Probably not the best donuts in LA but consistent and a fun out of towner experience
Isabelly Oliveira Nascimento
Parking: Pretty tight parking lot with few spots available around 9pm. Past 11pm, the lot begins to free up though. Every car lined up had to wait for spots to open up but this kiosk location is very much in-and-out so we only waited 3 min for the next car to leave.
Food: Love the donuts here, especially the Asian-inspired flavors like matcha and black sesame. But my ultimate favorites had to be the fruity pebbles log and maple bacon log. These donuts are a great snack to bring to a small gathering!
Marie Kristine Co
Wow! Their donuts are fresh everyday with lots of different flavors to choose from! Crunchy on the outside and soft as a pillow on the inside.its a donut heaven for donut lovers!☺
Andrew Espinoza
A large variety of different donuts prices are reasonable. There srinks are good to the match and the vanilla blended latte. The parking is very limited and very small only downside to this place
Stephanie
I tried boba donut from California donuts and I really enjoyed it was better than I expected…. I also was able to order the panda donut which I thought was pretty basic and not worth it… I enjoyed the rest of the donuts they tasted fresh and weren’t too sweet..
Rebecca Armstrong
I don't live in LA, but every time I visit, I make a point of visiting this place. I love that it's open 24 hours, and even so, there always seems to be a line. The donuts are delicious. My faves are the Reese's and chocolate strawberry.
Timothy Obis
Open 24 hours, local favorite, delicious creative donuts, like the horchata, the D’oh nut front the simpsons, cronuts, lucky charm donuts, blueberry lemon crumble, all pillowy, soft, chewy and sweet.
At peak times they can get quite busy and a line can develop throughout the strip mall. Parking may be doable if nobody is there but at peak times parking could be really tough.
They are on postmates. That might be a good option. I love the look of the place it’s a true hole in the wall.
Fernanda Perez
Cali Donuts! Definitely worth their worship, are also a bit too sweet. Although these donuts will not deceive in flavor, some of the glaze can be a bit sweet.
I tried the following:
Green: Matcha Green Tea
Pink: Rosie’s (rose water infused icing)
Old Fashioned Chocolate & Mazapán
Enjoy!
Carmelle T
I am a big fan of this donut shop. They're Blended drinks such as the Taro in the matcha drinks are delicious. I've never tried the coffee. My favorite donut is a panda donut and the blueberry crumble donut. The dough is very soft, it's amazingly soft. Unfortunately the last two or three times that I visited this location was at the early morning time abou 3 to 4 am. And the same worker continues to just display a careless attitude towards any requests that we make. He never wanted to do any Blended drinks, he never had any of our favorite Donuts, such as a specialty Donuts. He only had the basic donuts. And that's fine and all. But what isn't fine is today I went and for the first time ever I noticed there were flies inside of the donut display. This is absolutely foul and disgusting. It's just obvious how much he cares about his job, he seems very impatient and he makes me and my friends not even want to visit this location. We wish that there was another location around Los Angeles.
If you do visit this city and want a delicious donut go during the daytime. The daytime workers are very polite and patient, completely opposite from the early morning worker. They have so many different types of donuts and so many different flavors. They're croissants are also amazingly delicious.
Adan Garcia
So, it's basically normal donuts with a large variety of toppings. I was expecting differences within the flavor of the donuts. Coconut shavings in the batter, or chocolate chips in the batter, etc. The only thing that was different were the lemon filled ones. I've seen other popular places in the southwest, including Texas that incorporates different flavors within the batter, like the cream cheese donuts at Chicago bagels right outside of ft worth.
To be fair, the different toppings were very well done, and very colorful and fun and festive. The donuts were good, like any other fresh donut. Perhaps work on something more idealistic than taking a glazed donut and decorating it with what the name of the donut is.
Donuts were fresh, soft and the employees were fantastic and quick. It was an overall very pleasant experience, I'd return when I eventually fail on my diet.
Daniel Aguilar
It doesn’t matter what time of day I come the donuts are always at their best and always taste fresh. The coffee was just a plain regular coffee nothing spectacular. Great place to stop if you are just passing by.
Elizabeth
This place is better than Voodoo Donuts!! Their decorations are very cute and their donuts taste so yummy! My favorite is the horchata donut! They even had donuts decorated for the 4th of July! The parking isn't very good but there is street parking right next to it. To order you walk up and purchase from the to-go counter.
I Love Food Coma
Their staffs are super efficient! They work so well as a team. They organize the line nicely so they know which customer comes first.
OMG!!! They are super adorable & colorful! I wish I can take one of each~ hahaha!!
They are very creative how they decorate their donuts. They always have special design for special holidays.
Plaza parking lot. Side street residential street parking.
aby valente
There was a line but it’s worth it to get these cute donuts 🍩 and I especially love there ham and cheese croissant 🥐 and I’m a very picky person when it come to donuts since not a lot of ppl know how but here it’s so good I love it 🖤🖤🖤 …
Elizabeth Escalante
All the donuts I've tried have been moist and flavorful the drinks too.
So far the green tea latte & carrot 🥕 crumble donut with cream cheese was my all time favorite 😋💝💞💕💌
I love it when it's April 🛍🍩🧁🍵🧋
Celebrated my son's birthday with some donuts at his party 🥳🎉
K D
Good food I’ve never had any complaints until they started using paper bags for the donuts
This donut was once pretty and is now ruined. I’ll eat it, but damn I was hoping for a good picture to post on social media (free advertising) but nah
Still tasty tho ❤️ Quality ingredients
Alex Cochran
California Donuts have really good donuts, but even better croissants. They're open 24 hours, the donuts/croissants are both made fresh daily, and it's a certified LA staple that you should most definitely check out. You may have to wait in line, but don't stress, it moves fast.
Violeta Leon
The best Donuts in Koreatown
Just love the freshness and how fluffy they are
The most amazing flavors
Sean S.
The plus outweigh the minus! If you like donuts, this is the spoy. The donuts and service are great. I love that they take credit card. You can do half dozen or full dozen each come with a discount. You can choose from the classic style or signature style donuts. I haven't tried the coffee or other drinks, but the quality and taste for your sweet tooth are spot on. The only minus I had was parking. Small lot and street parking is metered on a very busy 3rd Street.
Kata Gn
Really delicious and soo unhealthy in the same time 😁 I love it! …
Binc Ruiz
Best donuts ever!!!! Well made. Not too dry or too sweet. Love the presentation of each donut..also love the simplicity. What i care is the taste..and the taste is awesome! I really recommend this place if you are nearby. You won't regret it
Keiko Davisson
This donut shop is open 24/7! The donuts are so cute and tasted so good! We got 6 different flavors to try and honestly I didn't have a bad one. My favorite was the panda donut which I think was a cookie and cream flavor. It was very doughy/cake battery.
Dying Rose
Aside from the long excruciating line that almost wraps around the building and the long walk due to no available parking. The donuts were presented nicely in displayed cases and offered a large colorful selection. Donuts not seen anywhere else , such as Rose flavored with dried petals, peanut butter and jelly filled donuts and much more. Prices are a little high compared to most, however well worth it.
Pancho Villa
This place has a large variety of custom donuts, most of the time there's a huge line. The donuts are amazing. Highly recommended it
KEVIN LEE
This place is the A-1 Best of Best Donut Shop in K-town. I've been coming to this Donut Shop since 1996 till now. Never ever had disappointed me with quality of their donuts.
Wendy Wakfie
I loved this place, I have heard lines are always long, luckily we didn’t have to make any line. Donuts are fresh and made the same day you can taste its freshness. All the ones we tried were amazing. Prices are a bit high, and they are open 24 hours.
Tami Garcia
Late night craving and just plain wanting to explore the city.....ended up at California Donuts. Please don't let the long line or small parking lot scare you away! Managed to park and the line went seriously fast in part because the staff at California Donuts run it so effectively.
We picked up 6 donuts, an assortment.
All of them such yum!
Fresh, moist and full of flavor!
Personally, I loved the Samoa....saved the lemonade one to enjoy tonight.
My boyfriend picked one and I wish I remembered the name of it, it reminded me of a cronut with blueberry and cream cheese flavors going on.
Absolutely Heavenly!!!
My daughters loved the Panda donuts and how adorable they are!!! 🐼🍩
Definitely will trek out there again!!!
Roger Olguin
The donuts are good, even their basic glazed donuts are good. The prices are cheap, and if you get their premium donuts they’re still a good value. Big downer, parking is horrible, you better park far or be patient to find close by parking. Or come in the middle of the night, yup, they’re open 24 hours a day.
Jenae Lien
Open 24-hours with tons of signature donuts. This place, if it isn’t famous yet, sure feels like it is. Located in a small strip mall of stores, this spot is like a light for those with a sugar craving.
Iconic panda donuts, unicorn donuts (this is the most expensive one, at $4.50) and all sorts of other donuts - matcha green tea, classic glazed, bear claws, apple fritters, and that Homer Simpson pink donut. DOH!
I was thankful they had birthday candles. After grabbing a box of donuts for a friend’s birthday, finding candles here for $1 was the cherry on top.
Get bagels here too if you want something other than a sweet treat. Free parking out front, and in the nearby neighborhood.
Robert Shumway
Parking is hectic on a Friday night but, it looks this way every night! The donuts are really unique in their flavor and presentations!
The wait in line is totally worth it but just make sure to order two of everything...😎😉
Laura Maldonado
This place is amazing! We've never had donuts like this before. And if you love cereal and donuts, this is definitely a place for you! Their iced coffee was also delicious. Fair prices for what you get, quick service and friendly staff. Expect to line up/wait as it's usually very busy. Open 24/7 so it's never a bad time to go! Wish we had a location here in Canada!
Izmoney “Izmoney” Martinez
I was really disappointed when I got their cause they discontinued the mango chamoy donut. I was so looking forward to it darn it. They have such good donuts tho I would go back that rose donut was actually good. That maple bar had a snicker's in it 😀👌I hope they bring that chamoy donut back ! Fresno ca.in the house🏠 …
Lara Star Martini
These donuts are possibly the most adorable things you will ever see- but they are definitely a sugar overload. These are better to bring to a party, to make a statement on a plate, but you will need to cut them in half or smaller and share them so you can taste all the different flavors. You definitely can't house 3-4 of these on your own, like you could with a regular donut. I got a variety- one with fruity pebbles, some bears encrusted with sugar, and a few others. They also served good coffee and thai iced tea (and I even got a tote bag because it was so darn adorable!). Overall, they have the look and make a statement- but the ones that are bears (the sugar ones that are all sparkles) are a bit to sweet for me to house more than one, so if you wan something to eat and enjoy with you coffee- go with ones with less toppings. If it's for a party, grab the cutest things on display and you will be the belle of the ball.
Brandy Parker
Superb service. Even in the wee hours of the morning. The donuts were perfect. And I don't even like donuts.
Accesslife INC
Came here to try their donuts due to good online reviews. I thought I would be disappointed because it is pricey (about $40 for 1dozen) and it is just another donut - right? But to my surprise it is worth the trip and worth the price.
Michelle B.
Hands down. Best donuts I've ever had. I've been following this place on Instagram for years and was so happy I could finally experience it in person. Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. There were so many different flavors to choose from it was hard to decide! My personal favorite was the rose flavored one, perfect to drink with some English tea.
Round Trip Weekend
I am not a donut person, but that changed the day I tried California Donuts! We tried four different flavors, and all of them were delicious - including the unicorn. They are light and just the right amount of sweet.
Great price and we found park right upfront.
Casey Gordon
This is what happiness looks like. Always the best. I don’t think you could find a better raised or cake donut, and the filled croissants are my favorite breakfast.
Stephanie O
This place is awesome. They have fancy donuts! They have old fashioned donuts that you know and love. They have coffee and none donut breakfast items. This place does get busy and parking is limited. So, make sure you give yourself at least 30 minutes during peak time.
The donuts in my picture were for Valentine's Day but the M&Ms are available anytime. Make sure you double check your order when you pay. If you don't tell them know exactly what you want then they may add a donut with nuts!
Joy Wagner
I've been meaning to stop here forever, but the line has always seemed like 20+ people deep whenever I've tried to go. That's a pretty good sign ...
Finally I went, and ordered a few different kinds of donuts in order to evaluate the shop's strengths. If it's important to you too: their old-fashioned style donut texture is somewhere in between a pound cake and a fritter, plus it's sweet with plenty of frosting or glaze. Specialty donuts mostly taste like whatever the toppings are (matcha, peanut butter cup, & Twix in this case). They're pretty uniformly light and fresh. Btw the shop uses a salted creamy peanut butter and I feel like the PB&J variety must be 🔥
Cold brew coffee was good too.
FK B
The hubby and I always buy a Boston cream donut as a frame of reference to rank donut shops. This has got to be my favorite. Also got 5 other flavors and they were all delicious. Couldn't eat them all in one day and even flew home with some. They maintained freshness at room temp
Courtney Holloway
I had the toasted coconut donut and it was really good even though I ate it a day after buying it. The donut reminded me of the Hostess crunch donuts. My husband had the cronut with a strawberry filling. It looked pretty and we thought it would be good. He ate it the next day which may have been a mistake because he didn't get the real experience. It was hard by the time he ate it. Maybe we'll give the cronut another try and that time eat it the same day.
Holly Francis
Cute place for special treats and they always make cute new donuts, if you follow them in the gram, they always post the new stuff there. I think they have another location in Hollywood. My favorite is the peanut butter cup filled donut , the rose donut, the green tea, and the snickers 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
They are open 24 hrs a day too.
Damon Tedford
Delicious donuts. I had a croissant donut. I ate it rather quickly and hence don't have a photo to share.
Alex
24 hour donut service. Parking is limited and can be a pain. Had to park a block away and walk over but was totally worth it. Panda donut and the blueberry crunch were my favorite! The donuts are perfect -- not to doughy but have a good bite to them without being overly sweet. I can't wait to come back here to try the rest of the donuts out! 🍩🍩🍩🍩
Ryan Gray
Stopped by here during our trip to LA and nearby Korea Town and got a variety of donuts one night. We ate them the next morning and they were still tasty. They have something for everyone and we all found something we liked. I tried a bit of them all and they were all solid donuts, would definitely stop by again if we're in the area.
Sam Winchester
When we got here there was a que which is always a good sign, the donut selection was crazy and didn't disappoint! The fact this place is open 24 hours is also mad they must make so much money on these tasty treats! They also do a collection of muffins and drinks.
Patrick M
Delicious, this place is a must visit, the only thing I didn't like was free bag of donut holes. I should have known if they were giving them out for free, they were probably trying to get rid of them. But everything and I mean everything you can purchase is amazing
Vivianne Li
So delicious! Luckily we made it without anyone else in line so we had plenty of time to choose. Our favorite was the lemon curd donut! But I'll definitely be back for the other flavors.
Jasmin Hussain
Super yummy donuts. They always taste fresh and are soft. They have a huge variety of different types of donuts. I had the coconut one and it was truly delicious. Depending on time of the day it might be hard to find a parking spot. The place is open 24 hrs.
meghan green
Very limited parking but a clean cute shop that had many beautiful doughnuts. I wish some of them were labeled more by flavor but I could have asked what a "unicorn" doughnut was supposed to taste like. I think the beauty of the doughnuts was better than the taste but I would return and do it all over again. Prepare for a sugar rush!
Rosa Gonzalez
All their Donuts are freaking delicious!! They always some out with new toppings you have to go back and try them!
Ourperfectlyimperfectlife
This place rocks! The Panda donut was the absolute BEST!. Kids googled "cool donut shop" and this came up. Very cool place with great selection and good prices. Yum! We went to the location in Little Bangladesh. Parking (pay) on the street is necessary because the 3-4 parking spaces in front of shop are usually filled.
Mariah Nicole
The parking lot is tiny so it's a good thing we walked. The doughnuts were very creative and had awesome toppings but the actual doughnut part to me was lacking in flavor/sugar. The customer service was great as well.
Iconic The Alchemist
I don’t usually like doughnuts, however, California doughnuts has high quality bread! The horchata doughnut is my favorite so far after trying just about all of them.
The best time to go is when you don’t see a line which is not very often. No line = Get Doughnuts! 🍩👀👍❤️
Taylor R
Another staple in LA! There are so many donut places but California Donuts stole my heart and I have visited them on every trip to LA. I swear they’re delicious fresh, still just as good a day old. My favorite is the one with M&M mini’s. It’s so airy but then you get the chocolate icing and crunchy chocolate coating.. mmm.. I wish I had some right now!
Susie
Delicious and beautiful donuts. They take good social distancing measures too. Only reason I gave 4 stars is they can get pretty expensive for the specialty donuts. Paid almost $40 for a dozen donuts and they weren't all specialty donuts either. Definitely a once in a blue moon kinda treat for us.
Christopher Bland
Very good experience here at 3am
Don't get the Snickers one, way too sweet. Other than that; the cream pie, buttermilk,blueberry toast crunch and others were really delectable. Be warned, it's so so decadent. Don't overdue it or the food coma will surely follow. Enjoy the goodness.
Mai Thow
These doughnuts aren't like any other I've tasted. They were so soft and airy, but full of favor! I love looking for the best apple fritters, which theirs may just be my favorite; each piece as I pulled it away and tossed in my mouth had a light crunch and good flavor. Mmmhh, smh, mmhh. The matcha one was my husband favorite. So glad we're from out of town, otherwise we'd be in trouble.
Daniel Munguia
Dont stop making the Strawberry Cronut !! You guys are the key to our survival lol jk
Amazing Donuts, if you haven't came here for you, then you my friend have not one clue what your taste buds are missing out on. These are not just ordinary donuts, this is like top of the line. There is always a little wait but I've never waited more than 7 minutes to buy some. Parking is limited, and there is a security there to help organize parking. (Sometimes) they carry from Traditional - Gourmet. It's not too sweet
McKay Zabriskie
This is easily one of the best doughnut shops in LA. It is a must visit! This is the only location though! All other "California Doughnuts" do not relate to this location. There is a huge selection here and it is all great!
They have the option of warm doughnuts that just melt in your mouth. The highest quality doughnuts I have had are from here. Very Impressed and their specialties are great, but the simple regular doughnuts do the job! No need to pay triple to get a panda doughnut unless you need it for selfie purposes.
Cindy T
Great place for fun donuts. My favorites are the cronuts and the cake donuts (the cinnamon sugar and powdered donut)
David Okkief
Their donuts here are pretty creative and tasty too. I recommend trying them out if you a lover of amazing donuts.
JOSE E ROMO
Sweets no doubt and all favors and colors special for the little one who likes Sweets but I think the price it's depending how many doughnuts you going to buy
Gabby
Love this place! Cinnamon toast crunch blueberry, matcha, lemon filled, fruity pebble, fruit loops, just everything is good. Just go no regrets. Fresh ojm..just great.
Chelsea Josette Dy
The blueberry cake donut is the best one out of the selection that I’ve got. I was slightly disappointed with the matcha donuts as the matcha flavor lacked significantly. Other than that, the other donuts were also very delicious but the blueberry cake stood out the most as the blueberry flavor was strong while the donut itself was not overwhelmingly sweet. The texture of their donuts are moist and soft and their service was very fast.
J. BISBAL
Fresh classic raised glazed donuts with colorful, inventive motives and toppings, small parking lot, great friendly service.
Piotr Pawlowicz
I like the baked goods here but I’m having a tough time trying to justify the prices compared to other no-frills donut shops
Ken B
One of the most famous donut stops you can check out in LA. They're open 24 hours a day, and for good reason. A wide selection of donuts and other baked goodies you might crave if you have that late night sweet tooth. Their specialty donuts cost a little more, but, you cant go wrong with their original and no so original. Green tea donuts are my absolute favorite!
Warren J
The spot you go to 24/7 when in LA... always hits the spot. The service is friendly and the donuts are fresh!
Andrea Idrovo
This place is a family business and every donut, croissant, coffee, hot chocolate, you name it, are made with love, you can taste it 💖 Delicious! 😋🍩🥐☕ …

The flavors/ options are amazing, but also the base of the doughnut is perfect on its own (a nice light yeast doughnut). The De La Rosa (peanut marzipan) was so good, it reminded me of Brazilian paçoca crumbled on top. Can’t got wrong with the Samosa with chunks of the cookie on top. And the blueberry toaster cereal was also tasty (the most artificially flavored out of the bunch)
Ken Lee
Thick soft & chewy. Super filling and line wasn’t too long. -1 for parking. There was more cars than people there..
Timur Gapurov
Yum! Tasty and fresh. In front of us in the line there was a lady who bought 2 donuts to try, then came back to buy a box. Enough said!:)
Vivian Dang
There’s typically a long line when you come here, but don’t worry! The line passes by fairly quickly. There’s a ton of donuts to choose from but my favorite one so far is the marble donut. The only thing you might have trouble with is parking, since the lot is usually full.
Melissa Lopez
The donuts are always fresh and so delicious. You have to try their horchata frappe 100%
Lah Carter
if only their bottle of milk wasn’t five dollars… They have all those delicious donuts under flawless display 🤩 super reasonably priced… (you be surprised) when the total comes out less than you’d expect to spend ….instantly willing to spend a lil more to you ask “got milk”?😳 and then (BAM) that’s how they get you! 🫡🫢lol they hit you with that ice cold bottle and say $5 ….LOL I’m not mad at em though. 🤷🏻♀️
Christian Heredia
A little pricy but the donuts are delicious. Very large variety of flavors and some adorable creations.
Calvin Fung
One of LA best donut shops. They have lots of speciality donuts but I still like their classic ones the most .. Regular, Choc bar and Green tea is my personal favorite.
trista
My favorite place I have ever got donuts at!! Great staff and great food! Am from MN and went to LA for a trip. I've seen California donuts on TV so many times though out the years and had to go there! I loved it! Nothing compares to these donuts!
M Khaled
Damn them donuts were decadent! Soft and airy donuts, I don't know how you get them to taste so good.
caishi11
These donuts are reminiscent of the ones I've had back in my homeland. I would definitely drive the 30-45 mins to get my fix. There's definitely a more significant amount of signature donuts instead of the classics. Be prepared to pay more than a standard donut dozen at your local shop.
There may be a wait, but it's not incredibly long. We waited about 10 minutes.
The only thing that took a while was the parking situation. The parking lot is terrible and has about 9 or 10 spots. We went around the block 3 times until we finally landed a spot that no one wanted to park in and required my husband's fine driving to park as it was directly next to a tent the Mexican restaurant has propped up.
Juan Carlos
These donuts are great, they have so much variety and not your normal donuts. Got the blueberry toast crunch, the marble, and M&M's. They also have other things like croissants and muffins I haven't tried though.
Brandon J (βяΔиdφл)
I would always come here after going to shows at Los Globos, they have really good doughnuts to choose from as well as frozen drinks.The M&M Doughnut is my favoirte & the frozen horhata is delicious. The line might be long but it goes by quick.
The parking lot is really small and tight so if you're not the one for tight spots i would just say find parking around the street. Maybe a block away theres a Vons, i parked there and walked to get my doughnuts and my car was good, but it's your call whether if you can find parking or not.
Patty SPARKLES
Yummy!! I loved the Panda donut and the fruity pebbles! The french iced coffee is ok😉 but the Donuts are Delicious! …
Joshua Szepietowski
It's a local landmark and has the most Instagram friendly donuts around. I really like the raisen roll as well. And don't forget Orange Bang!!
Laura
This place has a unique array of donuts which makes them worth a visit in my opinion. A lot of them are quite rich with all the toppings, but the base donut is good and quite large.
Cíntia Yurika
This place made me believe in donuts again! The cookies and cream donut is really delicious!
Kesh M
The donuts from this place were absolutely amazing! There were soo much variety and each were equally soo very delicious
We really enjoyed the Cronut!
Edee Lo
Ugh! .... Soft, moist, sweet, fresh and beautiful 😻 Like from $2-$5 a Doughnut but it’s an experience that’ll delight your taste buds. Open 24hrs and parking available on premises. Ricas donas 🍩 y las más a la moda. Aparte de ser famosas son delicia para el paladar. A must try !!!!! …
Steve Alvarado
'Gourmet' donuts, what more to say! A little pricey, but all you need is one. Very rich and heavy... Your doctor will thank you. Probably not worth the hype, but if you are in the area... Why not?!
GANGIS
It is a little shop located in a parking lot. Unfortunately, it is not a sit-n-eat place. However, their donuts are great with a wide variety shapes, colors, and flavors.
Citlali Aguilar
Love the fact that it's open 24hrs! They have some very unique donuts! They smell and are delicious! A bit pricy but worth it.
Catalina Hart Hidalgo
Delicious donuts and croissants! We went on a Friday morning and there was a line but the wait was not too bad as service is quick. The croissants are cooked warm and are so tasty! The donuts are amazing as well!
Brian Prado
If you need a donut in LA, this is the spot to go, might bet little busy at night, but it’s worth the wait, parking lot could use some help tho, it can get messy.
Ekaterina Spiridonova
Decent donuts and prices, huge plus that they’re open 24hrs.
Coffee is ok.
Preston Hsiao
Good, high quality donuts. Open 24 hrs. Long line but you can use Postmates.
Danny Pantaleon
Very delicious! I had a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant, 10/10 with the jalapeños. The vanilla iced coffee hit like a jab from Mike Tyson, 10/10
The ube donut was 🔥🔥 10/10 …
Calvin Williams
Yep, need a good doughnut? Yes, this place will not fail you. Your on the right track!
H C
This place is my favorite local donut shop. Always nice, always fast and super delicious. I highly recommend trying their breakfast croissant sandwich and iced coffee!
Kelly E
this place legit changed my life. had my first thai iced tea here and the rest was history. #1 thai iced tea.
Tyler Whitmore
While exploring Koreatown, we went North to Little Bangladesh and stumbled upon California Donuts.
The store front drew us in, and the donuts closed the sale. They had a bunch of options, but we had to try something spooky. The donut was good, and gave us some energy for the rest of our morning.
Torie Hadjis
Fabulous place. My daughter wanted to check this place out because all of her youtube channels go here. With all the crazy options I assumed this would just be a novelty place....NOPE. These are the best donuts I've ever had. Some of the flavors deliver a lot less than you would expect (like Snickers)...but then others are surprisingly good (maple bacon)...but my absolute two favs were the pink glazed with sprinkles and the raspberry filled! Oh...and the donut holes...they just melt in your mouth.
A Padilla
Fast service. No line at 1:15pm. Donuts are fresh and delicious! I bought a dozen to share with family! Half is gone. The Horchata donut is a must have!
Nicole Yuen
Cute little window style ordering for donuts and a few other options! There’s a line later at night but it was with the wait for fresh and fluffy donuts!
The sprinkled had a nice strawberry icing which was a nice surprise!
Chanese Harris
I've been following California donuts on Instagram for over a year now. And I've always said I absolutely have to go to this place one day.
Well that day finally came.
I was in LA with a friend and we had just got done eating ice cream and we were driving around not going any where in particular when we drove right past. And I literally made him turn around so we could get donuts.
I ordered a dozen because who comes here to just get like 1 or 2?? Maybe if I lived in LA and not an hour away I would do that but no I needed to try them all.
By far the strawberry donut is my absolute favorite. The matcha green tea donut is bomb. The toasted coconut donut. Yummy. The snickers donut. Come on can not go wrong with snickers anything. My friend loved the oreo donut.
We got so many I cant remember them all but these donuts are definitely worth it.
And the best part of it all they dont have that nasty film taste you get in your mouth after you donuts because why I'm sure they actually use fresh oil when cooking the donuts. I dont know what they do all I know is they make amazing donuts
Maria Amell
It’s a great experience but I was a bit underwhelmed by what I ordered. I’ll have to try something different next time.
Edenilson Cuatete
For dressed regular fancy donuts and small other special donuts its great the kids love it, but they do not have cream cheese danish/crossiants, nothing really in cream cheese...
Randy Kim
First time to California Donuts, and I was not disappointed. The donuts are unique and tasty. The presentation of the donuts were visually stimulating. I had the blueberry cinnamon toast crunch donuts and apple fritter. Tasty and wished I had a bigger appetite to try the toasted coconut and other flavors.
SeanHiggins thegoodlifeinc
My go to donut shop anytime I'm in L.A. Expect a line though since I think nearly everyone in Los Angeles must feel the same... Not to bad though, usually I find about a 10min. wait. As soon as you bite into one of these gourmet pieces of fried dough you will want to get back in that line for more! My favorites: the fruity pebbles, the chocolate strawberry, and the creme brulee. Check 'em out, I promise you will not be disappointed.
Quoc-Hai Luu
Variety is the spice of life and these donuts are spicy
Plenty of different flavours and decoration
And it's open 24 hours a day!!
Paul Peterson
Absolutely delicious! These were light, fluffy, and without a hint of any oil for glazed donut. The raspberry filled is delightful and tasty. If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth a stop. They have several different varieties and the customer service is friendly!
Angela Salas
Great doughnuts and service. The filled croissantd are awesome.
Andrea Franco
Cutest donuts ever!!! Tried a few, but the maple bacon one is my favorite by far. I give this place 4/5 because it's located in a sketchy area and parking is a big confusion
Kyla Siler
I will never go to Winchells or another rinky dink donut shop again! California Donuts has a high turnover rate, so they are constantly making donuts and putting them out throughout the day. So therefore the donuts are always FRESH. I appreciate that because there is nothing worse than a stale/ Undercooked donut (like Winchells).
These are the most creative and innovative donuts In Los Angeles in my opinion.
Sean Le
The donuts here are so good there's so many awesome flavors. I had the cookies and cream and maple bacon and they were both so good. I really wanna go back to try all their other donuts. A bit pricey but it's what's to be expected when you get a nice gourmet donut. The line was not super long but we went at like 11 PM on a weekday so there's that. Must try if you're in Korea town!
Brandon C
These donuts were excellent!
Danielle shanell
Hyped for no reason if you aren't into the specialty donuts. Parking is trash. The ones I did get were fresh.
louis rich
Open 24 hrs and has speciality donuts. Better than Mr donut man
Vickie Cervantes
Stopped on our way to The City and it was 1:30 in the morning and the doughnuts and coffee where amazing!!! Will be on my list of must stop while in LA!!! 😍😍😋😋🍩🍩🍩 Great customer service even at this hour it was a welcoming and popping spot!!! …
Matt Kacar
Great selection of unique donuts and fast service! Expect a line as it is a very popular place. Parking lot is small, so you may have to find a spot on the street.
Bryan Garcia
Their Croissants are always on point in the morning.
-1 star for their lack of customer service although they did everything perfectly they just seemed so overworked so they seem almost zombielike.
However I am a frequent customer so would love to give 5 stars soon if this changes.
BTW I usually don't mix my salty with savory but that Maple Bacon Donut is one of the best of both I've tasted in awhile.
Melissa espinoza-smith
Cute and delicious freshly made donuts. Fun flavors like PB&J, Fruit Loops, Panda Oreo, Horchata. Lines are lines but worth the wait. Parking is nearly impossible so be patient.
bob amano
CA Donuts are consistent with their donuts. Always fresh and tasty. Can't go wrong, but coffee is weak for I like bold taste in my java. Not sure if its their brewing method or coffee beans/grounds. Kick it up a notch!
Eric Walston
These is where the Best Donuts in the City be.
Jacob Syed Ali
Love the selection of donuts offered at this location! Thanks guys
Reed Salan
Great selection. Also have hot chocolate and crossiants. Parking can be tough, recommend walking there. About 10 spots total for all of shopping center. Open 24 hours.
No 2 Pencil
Wide variety of donuts, and a lot of interesting ones too. Really kind staff. Would come back again to try other flavours.
Fu sen
The staffs always friendly. Donuts are Yummy with unique style!!
Michelle Gan
I really wish I had a place like this near where I lived. Love a family-owned Cambodian-owned donut shop and these definitely sparked joy. The rosie was my absolute favorite and the taro was a great second. I would love to try more of their flavors.
Jeff Busch
The cereal doughnuts are the best. They have all the staples and a ton of specialty doughnuts too. Give em a try you can't go wrong.
Sung-Fu Han
Open 24hr
Come here whenever you like
N Rios
Super cool stand donuts were yummmm
Kev M
Place is good! but wish they brought back the Recess, Mazapán, or snickers
Mary Strange Blossom
This place is a Los Angeles gem! Gourmet donuts in incredible flavors! And reasonably priced! Best donut on the planet! I am a throat cancer survivor who’s taste buds were affected by radiation. Long story short, my new taste buds find artificial ingredients and bad tastes extremely intense. I recently bought a couple donuts from a chain store, I had to throw them away because of the artificial taste and nasty oil they were fried in. These donuts are clean and fresh! My favorite new place to enjoy! Word to the owners “ Don’t ever change your quality ingredients and preparation! Definitely you have the market and the recipes for success!” I’m 68 and this is the best donut I have had in my life! I’m addicted and so happy I tried your product! I even plan to take some to friends out of state when I visit!
Fredo 1993
Was definitely worth the late night snack , donuts are delicious!
Cynde V
Always a required stop and grab donuts 🍩 for the trip home.. a must or my kids wouldn’t let me in the house 😆 These don’t go to waste and are just as delicious the next day. They have amazing flavors and designs are adorable. My favorite is the maple log with bacon! …
Gladys Barron
So many donuts to choose from! All delicious options!
YASMIRA MUNGUIA
The price is HI and I really missed the FRESHNESS with the famous CRONUT cause mine did not taste FRESH.....BUT HAD TO TRY WHAT ALL THE HIP WAS ABOUT AND GUESS WHO WAS THERE LAPD...BABY :)
Connie Zhang
Incredible donuts, and friendly staff. The parking situation can be crowded, but it moves fast if you're willing to wait a bit.
Louis Lerma
Great donuts ! Sometimes there is a line but they are efficient, parking is tough ! Make sure you have a getaway driver because you might have to wait or circle the block for parking!
Susan C
It’s good but they always run out of maple donuts late at night. But they always have the maple bacon ones but that is not the same. Don’t @ me. But when they do have my favorite maple donuts this place is 5 stars.
Josh Juarez
I'll take a pic for yall next time. These donuts are to die for. Have to stop myself from going weekly to get some tbh cause they're just too dang good! You'll get addicted real fast! Something for the whole family too!
cami
The donuts are so cute and yummy! If you want a quick breakfast, this is the place to go.
TJ Morgan
Donuts are great but trying to find parking is tough
Leo Martinez
Above average donuts! I think they go out of there way to provide different kind of donuts.
Catalina Araujo
Love the donuts!!! So cute, a must try is the mazapan blend and horchata donut. 🍩😍 …
Jenna Nicole
If you’re into overly sweet donuts with every candy concoction you can think of slummed together into one nauseating induced donut than these are for you! Nice to look at but not good for my stomach or my teeth.
Miley Yu
It wasn’t tasting that old when I first purchased. But this time ruins my taste bud, breads are old so does fruity cereal not crunchy at all...
J. J
I love this place. It's on the corner in a lot. Parking is really bad there. So, you might need to get there during early morning time to get a close spot. Parking is tight though.
Eric Tu
The crumbs donut is to die for!!!! If you like fluffy, light donuts, this place is for you. Still Good when it’s cold
Andre Stokes
Great place. Everything here is delicious and just a pure sin lol. The reese cup donut was my favorite. Best donut place ever
Paul Cho
Their donuts are expensive, but for good reason. California Donuts is in the business of gourmet donuts and one bite is all it takes for their customers to know. The donuts are pillowy and soft while the glazes are creative and delicious. Maybe don't come here once a week, but it's a nice treat once a month.
Gisel A Costa
I'm in love with all their donuts and I enjoy their seasonal decorative donuts. It's sweet, warm, moist, and delicious. Sometimes you can see a line - but it moves very quickly. Their donuts are fresh too. Their parking isn't always ideal, because it can get very crowded very fast in different times of the day too. However, it's definitely worth the trip.
Nicole Mazzilli
They look prettier than they taste. Just go for more plainer ones if you want them to taste good
William McMahon
Super sugary donuts, expensive, but good. $3.75 for a donut.
Sophie Rappé
So many yummy doughnuts! A lot of fun flavors, plus the classics.
Putactu
Really nice and good donuts and a lot of choices !
Larry Wong
Big, large doughnuts, Many different flavors. all tasty
Troy Hinds
What’s not to love about midnight doughnuts? Delicious.
Roderick Conwi
I tried this place for the first time yesterday and I must say that I love this donut shop! I tried their regular glazed donut (which, according to my spouse, is an indicator of how good a donut shop is), a cinnamon roll, and a strawberry chocolate donut. They all were absolutely tasty and decently priced. My spouse thinks that the reason they're so good is the dough. I highly recommend this place, especially the chocolate strawberry donut. (I wish I posted a picture of it, but I ate it too quickly.) The parking lot is tiny, so be prepared to wait or park far.
J garcia
Delicious donuts ,I love it
Arriane
I went here for the very first time in the morning to try out their donuts since I always see many people lined up during evening hours. Damnnnnnnnn. Their donuts are so freakin goodddd! I think these are the best donuts I've eaten so far. Just on one bite, you can already feel the soft texture, sweetness, and flavor. I was really taken aback. The staffs were really friendly as well. Definitely going to come back here to try out their different doughnuts.
Luis Garcia
A wide variety of donuts and great tasting ones. Along with fun creations to them. With a friendly person to take your order.
N H
These donuts are so overhyped. They're not great but they're also not bad. Nothing special, the donut themselves are underwhelming. Recommend going to a mom and pop shop for tastier donuts.
Marlene Amaya
OMG, talk about some good donuts! I love the variety and creativity of these pastries...sad that it's a drive out of our way but we'll worth stopping by...
Daryl Vanterpool
I been going here for 30 years or more . I've seen kids grow up! The secret is..... they're damn great.
Jesse Cary
This place is awesome! They're open 24 hours and have a HUGE selection of creative Donuts that taste great. I go there waaaay too much. The only problem they have is the parking but that has nothing to do with them sooo 5 stars!
Tyler Stewart
Awesome donuts. Lives up to the hype and not too too expensive for the regular donuts. Will definitely return. I got the taro, fruity pebbles, and chocolate old fashioned and they were all delicious. The donuts have the perfect texture to them.
Jenette Zipp
Amazing selection of assorted donuts. Highly recommend
Andrew K
It's donuts! Good donuts! Just look at them! The blueberry donut was amazing and the panda bear was also very good.
Daniel Velarde
Small batch donuts made throughout the day at a shop open 24/7/365? Yes please! You can't go wrong with a California Donut any time of the day. The Snickers bar consists on a standard bar top with half peanuts and half chocolate chips...stuffed with a full sized Snickers bar inside! The Reeses donut is stuffed with enough peanut for the donut and a pb&j sandwich. These two donuts have never let me down in over 10 years.
Vanessa Parker
Best donuts I’ve ever had
Gurman Nagra
These are some of the best donuts I've ever had. So moist, creamy and fluffy. All the flavours were very different and were perfectly sweet.
Md Rupak din
Hello....
This review is gonna after about 2 years.
This is the best donut shop i ever eat in USA even in the world.
This review is from Bangladesh. The Owner Grandmother is very good and kind person. May you be always happy dear.❤️❤️❤️
Oliver Wilson
Best donuts between La Brea and Broadway. Boston cream rules. Cute take out window and top notch signage.
Gerald Vonvain
Mmmmmmm fat people friendly! Kidding great varieties of Donuts. I been coming here as a kid. DADDY GREW UP!
Robert Lee
I love this place. They have the best muffin in town.I tried other donuts place(s).The blue berry and other muffins don't come close at all.My complains:#1)Parking very bad (not much at all).I was told told that the donut shop owner the entire mini mall(no chance of relocation).#2)there is no table or chair.a few years ago,they used to opened the back for dinning.No more.They used it as a storage or something#3)almost always a long line.This is only donut shop I know of has a line!#4)it is kind of expensive muffin and a small coffee totaled $4.50.I still go for the taste.
Lucy Leon
My favorite donut place ever. While all the fancy donuts are super delicious, my absolute favorite is the plain raise glazed. Normally I hate that kind but theirs are delicious. They are soft and the glaze is perfect! They are super quick (well as quick as you are, since trying to pick just one or just a dozen feels impossible some times), helpful and friendly.
joey yamamoto
Delicious as usual !! maple bacon was the bomb 🤤🤤🤤 …
yosi lopez
Sometimes it can get pack here but its worth it. They have a variety of donuts. The are all delicious.
Omri Polak
Try and escape the weekend lines, that start forming in the evening, and get your sugar fix early
With Chelle
The donuts were so good and fresh! Soft and tasty. Couldn't wait to eat before taking a picture!
Jessica Estrada
I used to frequent this place when I walked home from school in the 90's. I still try to go but their long lines and difficult parking sometimes discourages me. I like that they are flourishing but their fancy donuts are pricey. I've paid up to $4 for one Panda donut. Will probably only continue to go for special occasions.
Jesus Moran
This place is simply amazing, every kind of donut imaginable. My personal favorite cookies and cream 😁 …
T Dugo
I heard alot of hype about this place and being a doughnut lover myself, I can easily say this place lives up to the hype! The selection is incredible as it contains varieties that I've never thought of before. They also have a great selection of drinks to wash down the doughy goodness. Would recommend getting their early so there is still a good selection to choose from because they will be snatched up!
Brian Song
Very nice variety of donuts to choose from. Donuts themselves are nice and fluffy
Hali Scott
Went around 8pm -super stale , matcha one was a Nono and the crosonut was so chewy and unpleasant, will have to try another time when they are fresher perhaps
Lisa Welch
All of their donuts are tasty and they always have a great selection even after midnight when other late night shops scale back their offerings. My fave is still the croissant donut
Daisy Rocha
They are good just really sweet and over hyped
mav vira
I have a very special day whenever I visit this location. No matter what I select to eat or drink I am always very satisfied with the service and selection. One of the best spots to get delicious treats and drinks. You will find yourself making excuses to drive near Cali doughnuts just to pick up some something special for you and your fam. Always a line but it moves fast. Trust me its worth the wait.
DANIEL ALEXANDER
The place to go when regular ol' boring donuts just won't do.
Robert West
Fast, the people are happy to help you, and the donuts are like, from fantasy land. Go.
Cristal Luna
The donuts!!! even just the classic donut is delicious you can't go wrong with any of the types. My favorite- pumpkin spice donut. Definitely would recommend worth the wait in line.
Sduk3406
Last year was the first time I ever tried California donuts. It was amazing! Today I was a little disappointed... I made a special trip to K-town to get a donut here. They didn't have the lemon donut I had last time. But I got a different lemon donut and it was a little dry until I got to the center. Hopefully they'll have the first one I tried in a few days when we return
Colleen Sibayan
SO GOOD! I was a little nervous because I’m usually a boring glazed only type of person because the others are overly sweet. This was not the case here! The horchata donut was probably my favorite. They have a mix of classics and some really fun, unique ones. Fluffy, delicious, and definitely fresh. Highly recommend and worth the wait😊
cirenia Sanchez
Celebrating valentine's day 💕 ❤ 💖 hot chocolate and the best 🍩 donuts 😉😍 …
Zac Cucinotta
Great donuts, good classics but also more interesting flavors like milk tea and peanut butter.
Tina Taggart
Donuts!! Donuts!! What's not to love...maybe the guys smoking crack in the parking lot or maybe no one here know anything about customer service. Donuts were OK...many different kinds of Flavors. My kiddo loved the reese's..overall it good place for a sugar high
Kelso 002
Really enjoyed these donuts as a late night snack. The panda donut left a sugary taste in my mouth
Jake Valdez
One of the best donut spots in LA. There's always a line, the area is kinda sketchy but it's worth it. Everyone needs to try a Samoa! All of their donuts are unique and very filling. Staff is always prompt and friendly. Once you come here you'll keep coming back for more.
Bryan Luss
Panda donut here is great. The fruity pebbles one is good. Line can be log especially around and right after last call. Parking in the lot is iffy and the street parking nearby can be competitive. Decent coffee. 24 hours so it’s always going. The flavors were good and seemed pretty fresh. Good neon signage
Richard Sanchez
Variety of donuts 🍩 with unusual topings such as cereal and fruit. They also have your usual old fashions and chocolate 🍫 donuts. On the pricey side (average of $3 a piece) but worth it. Donuts are fresh and fluffy and come in a box / bag …
Taha Jomha
Amazing donuts and huge selection. My kids went nuts over these. Will be coming back.
helena stat
My first time ever having a cronut here and I'm totally obsessed!! Love this place since they open 24/7 and I can always get an amazing donuts here!!
Jonathan Aleman 911
Very good donuts, it is a very popular place and it seems like there is a long line the whole 24 hours that they're open!! The reason it's popular is because they have very unique donuts, some with bacon and others with a panda face, yet others with some cool designs! Not only that but they are really,
really good! Like if you found this helpful
CMJ
it's like 11pm and there was a big line
so I said " what do they have in those donuts? must be like crack or something lol"
definitely didn't disappoint.
coffee is great.
I've only started on the warm ham and cheese which is pretty good good lot of Ham lot o cheese... I did try
the glazed donut and it tastes like a funnel cake with powdered sugar that you get at the fair👍...
IF THEY
put strawberries on it oh my goodness or raspberry and whipped cream🔥🔥🔥😀👍
definitely must try!!
Gazi Sultan
Have seen this place change for the better over the last six years. Very popular among kids and teenagers. Not being a fan of donuts, I highly recommend: Breakfast croissant, Swiss Cheese croissant, Jalapeno Cheese croissant, and the Mango-Passion Fruit drink. Parking is a challenge unless it's very late; I recommend parking temporarily at the larger chain grocery stores nearby and walking over once your done at the stores. Ideal place for people who prefer coffee especially since its open 24 hours.
scott
I find it hard to find A bad donut, yet the doughnuts here are made with that little extra care and it's noticeable. The real deal is the egg sandwich! It's very good, ample size and great cheese 🧀. …
Zara Leventhal
Delish donuts. Recommend the maple bacon twist and the Care Bear donut
Carmen Hayes
The donuts are a little pricey! But they are delicious and fresh!
Glenn A
A great place to get donuts. They offer some unique donuts like the Maple Bacon, Matcha, and the Panda.
The store is open 24/7 so if you are craving donuts late at night this is the place to go. You will probably find a line when you visit.
The only downside is the parking. There are only a few spaces in the shopping center which is shared by other businesses.
Angela Rodriguez
California Donuts are the BEST. I've broken ketosis with their gems on a few occasions, lol. The Horchata Donut for example is really good--perfectly fluffy and delicious! I appreciate that they try to incorporate flavors that are beloved by our eclectic community. They usually have a security guard at all times, super organized ordering system, so don't be discouraged by a long line and try them out!
R Matthews aka RJ
This Bakery makes very good Donuts. They always offer a great selection and the employees are very friendly. If you pre-order they always have the order ready for you when you get there to pick up. I did not order any food or any of the drinks so I can only comment on the donuts.
Ry Cli
My favorite donuts in LA. Open 24hrs, always fresh, good variety.
Sean G. Rosenstock
Parking is a major hassle in the early morning - the lot is too small! But the ladies are super friendly and those donuts make up for it 👍 In the mornings be prepared for a bit of a wait, the place is popular. There is a large variety to choose from, some more creative than others. The donuts are super rich though, so be warned. …
Lyrisse Williams
Loved the unique donut shapes and flavors
Sal Reyes
They have a farout variety of donuts you’ve never seen anywhere else. If your looking at this review, you should be heading there. Go now
Michael Dvorkin
This place is INSANE. Hands down, the coolest donut shop on LA. Not only they have a very creative selection of visually appealing donuts, but their donuts are actually amazingly delicious. Pure love. My personal favorite is the croisaint donut. Yum.
John Hernandez
It was okay. I followed them on Instagram and wanted to believe the hype. Donuts are average in taste at a premium price. You pay for the novelty of cereal and other sweet tooth items on a regular old donut. I don't think I'll go out of my way to come here again, but if you're rolling by, give 'em a shot.
Andy Leung
Great donuts with a lot of choices. The line is pretty long but it goes fast.
Audrey Hernandez
The best donuts ive had in a while. I ended up getting the reeses peanut butter donut&a dragons tail i believe is what its called. Freshly baked, and perfect amount of peanut butter to chocolate ratio. I definitely recommend getting donut from here.

4 stars for cuteness and the price. They're not the most tasty donuts in the world - they're kinda generally sugary and doughy- but they're the cutest little pastries! The prices are good and they're open 24 hours! Overall, I'd recommend for the novelty and as a pretty good donut.
Juan Calderon
One of my favorite donut shops in all of LA my favorite donut is the reese's peanut butter donut but fyi you will need milk or something to help wash down that pb. My absolute favorite item on the menu is the sausage croissant. It is an absolute must have. The parking sucks tbh as its super cramp and the line can get long but honestly it's more than worth it.
Nick Allen
This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it. Kids were ecstatic and this was even before the sugar rush kicked in. The donuts were absolutely beautiful and yummy (would love little bit more cream though in Bavarian cream ones)
They were some really cute and unique ones, like panda and unicorn. That's why the price ranged from $2.50 to $3.50 per donut. Little expensive for a donut? But hey, - priceless when you see how your kids eyes lit up. Also, the way donuts were decorated were just awesome.
The shop was little bit far from me, but I promised my nieces that we will be coming back for every holiday to get more seasonal decorated donuts. Don't tell them, but I can't wait for the Christmas donuts - yay!!! Plus, they had smoothies and slashes that helped washing down the cutesy deliciousness.
Would strongly recommend to try this place out, have a unicorn donut and a magical day.
uzair khan
I had it twice. And been there once I do enjoy their donuts but there is nothing special about in taste. They do have fun and exciting designs for the donut other than that is just Okay. I tried their panda fruity pebbles snickers mm donuts. I would avoid the cereal related donuts. The snickers one was good but obviously too sweet for my self.
Nancy Rivera
Parking is basically non-existent and there is always a line but the donuts are worth it! Yes they are cute looking but most importantly they are delicious. You make you choices through a window, thin enough that they can hear you. You pay the end of the counter and they take cash and cards.
witthawat kamolrat
They do open 24hr a day and 7 days a week..but their prices are way too high if you are getting just a couple of donuts then your wallet probably going to feel like you had a full breakfast meal at denny's ..donut Is more like a snack shouldn't cost like a whole breakfast meal
Joel Lozada
First time here - wonderful selection of donuts. Got a maple bacon croissant donut and was tasty.
They serve the donuts outside the front facing glass counter which is convenient as I travel by bike and there is little bike parking to be found. Parking itself is limited and I could see it difficult if I came at a busier time.
Others seem to like it as well as the last few times I have past by there were always a small line at the counter.
Great place for a quick donut fix.
chris wilcox
I love the specialty Donuts they have there. And the chocolate croissant is my favorite. I always get the donut holes chocolate croissant because even though I'm skinny there's an inner fat person in me and it tells me sometimes that I need to eat donuts. Everytime I'm in the area or even if I'm a little bit far away I know that like going to California Donuts the only disappointment that I might have and has only experienced one time was going there for chocolate croissants and a gentleman that was in front of me literally by about eight or nine dozen donuts so they were sold out. I had settled for regular croissants and some donut holes what's more than satisfied
Cassidy Johnston
Stopped in here on a whim and a risk on our way to Hollywood Blvd and LOVED IT. this place is obviously family owned and run by great people. I got the bagel with egg and cheese and I was impressed that the egg was fresh and was really good! The donuts look DELISH 🍩 too! I’m definitely coming back for some late night grabs w my friends.
Brittni Farr
I visited this place when I went to Los Angeles and can I tell you everything here was amazing! My friends and I went there everyday for our time in LA. A wide variety of food. The doughnuts were outstanding in taste and appearance. The smoothies were fantastic as well! Would highly recommend!!
Ricky Tran
Great twist on the donut game. The samoa donut is a must get!
Micheal Espinola
Open 24 hours, this shop is an excellent stop for specialty donuts. Don't expect the full range of low-tier standard donuts here. These are all deliciously decadent sugar bombs. And a great selection of boba drinks as well.
Alizen
CA Donuts
Perhaps I just got lucky and got a good batch of donuts, but I enjoyed every single one of it!
Like everyone else said, the actual store was more of a "pick and choose then pay at the window" kind of establishment. I chose a half dozen donuts with an order of cream puffs for a total of about $15. I figured for the specialty donuts it was quite a fair price.
Pros: cute, relatively cheap, and very tasty.
Cons: they only bake certain donuts during each time so try to call ahead to make sure you don't drive there expecting to buy a matcha green tea donut and they don't have any made (learned that the hard way!)
Jason's Review's
One of the BEST donut places in Lala land! Try the new maple bacon or the yummy matcha donuts. Treat your palate to something new!
Bobby Cerza
Amazing donuts! I tried their Reeses donut and it was phenomenal! Definitely would go out of my way to get a dozen of them for a party. Prices weren't too bad, had an amazing selection, and service is quick. It truly shocks me that a 24 hour donut shop could be this good!
Christine Sosa
The donuts are very delicious and they're open 24/7! The parking lot is not that big, but it's definitely worth waiting for a spot or trying to find street parking. I hate to say it, but they are definitely Gram worthy.
karen rodriguez
These doughnuts were so good!! Cute options .Always a line .pricey!
Lissette Ojeda
Awesome donuts! Huge variety of donuts to choose from. A little pricey but great quality donuts. The dough was super airy and light. They have fruity pebbles, samoa, panda, unicorn, strawberry, maple and bacon horchata and so many more. Donuts range from $2-$4.50. If you're in California definitely check out California donuts you will not be disappointed
Pablo Hernandez
Of all the donut shops I’ve tried all around the USA, California donuts is by far the freshest and most delicious donuts I’ve ever had. I used to live a few blocks away from here and I miss it so much. If you’re in LA, specifically Koreatown, you HAVE to drop by for some donuts. The panda bear had Oreo cookie ears and Oreo cookie cream filling. The fruity pebbles is so soft that you’d think it’s cream filled! And how could I forget the blueberry toast crunch. Those all my three favorite ones. This place is a huge hit!
Mr Propan3
This is not only the Original one, but the far superior one of all the
“California Donuts” locations. The quality of the donuts and specialty drinks the staff makes fresh, in house everyday is unrivaled. When one is hankerin for a fried sweet confection, the sight of the morning display case will make you weak in the knees!! If you are within 30 miles of this sugar palace I insist that you run don’t walk third Street in Kenmore or you were great not doing so. If you order tell him the staff that Lulu pointed you in their direction. It won’t save you any money. But they sure as hell get a kick out of it!
Hugo De Leon
They have pretty good donuts. Lots of variety & liking to any taste bud. You can't leave without wanting to try something new or different from there.
Only cons is the parking & the line
Fernando Velasco
Open 24hrs a day , they have unique donuts , some more delicious than others, it's all personal taste, but they are delicious. They taste fresh all the times I've visited. They sell also coffee and smoothies as well.
veronica caldera
My favorite place to get donuts amazing donuts need to try only downfall is the parking
donaaglee wasdre
You guys are great. from your cool looking donuts to your cool staff.. I always have a great experience coming here. Best donuts in LA thus far!!! just make sure you wearing comfortable shoes you might have to wait a while to get these.
Christina Tang
They offer all kinds of different donuts that will satisfy everyone. The freshness and quality is beyond recognizable that you can taste! When you try there donuts its hard not to compare it to another place buy California donuts will always win.
Henry Kennedy
Parking is hassle but the donuts are worth it. Selection is out of this world, they have the special orange marmalade donuts just like the ones my grandmother used to give me as a kid. I am addicted lol. Great place, great staff a must stop by on the bucket list.
The Haus of Legends
Fresh and tasty.. one of the best donuts in the area. The Staff was super nice... clean. well lite. I Highly recommend you check it out.
Jay
You've died and gone to donuts heaven.
Ridwan Aksad
I understand the hype, and the donut hype train, but these donuts are alright. Snickers donut is a fav.
Their turkey cheese and jalapeno croissant is amazing as well. Make sure you get it warmed up by them. Its my go to spot for late night ice green tea or coffee and its pretty local. Parking can be a pain during rush hours but late night is no problem for me so far.
Note, there is one line just for drinks so you can skip the wait if you just want drinks.
Jimmy T
The parking lot is atrocious, be careful when you park there it gets crowded and people park illegally around. I got a custard cronut. It was a bit sweet but the dough was dense and had good consistency. Definitely will go back and try some other flavors.
Curtis Orthmann
I'll never understand the appeal of this place the donuts are average at best and very overpriced. Open 24 hours and now featuring updated offerings which are poorly executed copies of what you would find at hipster foodie donut shops. Nothing to write home about. I do have to compliment the employees who are friendly speedy and accurate. There are often long lines.
Brian Vasquez
I can't believe I haven't done a review for this place even though I've come here so many times.
It is the hype, and I've tried so many doughnuts, they're all so good
EXCEPT
for their strawberry with sprinkles
I have a sweet tooth, but even that was wayy to sweet for me, to the point where just a tiny piece is good enough, that's it
It's pretty self explanatory, everything here is good!
ben der
WHAT DID I GET: A blueberry muffin, a jalapeno and ham/cheese croissant, and half a dozen assorted donuts.
HOW WAS IT: I ate the croissant and an apple fritter, and both were pretty legit. I mean, it wasn't anything mind-blowing or unique, but it was very good and highly satisfying; it really hit the spot.
HOW MUCH DID IT COST: Everything all together cost about a little under $13, which is a pretty good deal considering the amount of baked goods you're getting.
WOULD I COME BACK: Yeah, sure. Next time I have another donut craving, this place is at the top of my list.
WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO OTHERS: Yeah, you should definitely check this place out at least once. If you have any friends/family visiting from out-of-state or out-of-country, I'd definitely bring them here; this place is very much a part of the 'flavors of LA.'
Brad M
Stopped by on Christmas day to get the panda with a Santa hat. Also got the fruity pebble donut. Both were so delicious and the panda looked awesome. Really like this place and they have other options than just donuts on the menu like milkshakes and breakfast sandwiches.
Caitlin Curry
We had a huge order with donuts, drink, and sandwiches, and they handled it swiftly. Everything was delicious! Not a crumb left behind!
Chris H (Beardo Fett)
Parking is the horrible, but if you can find street parking nearby, its worth it. Selection is nice, and flavor is delicious. Always a must when in the area.
Gabriela Solis
Love the plain glazed matcha doughnut but all doughnuts are beautiful and are delicious and are with the cost
margarito huertero
Its worth the 30 to 40 minute drive to the donut shop. Always fresh.
Michelle Nunnery
Custom order was so easy!! Very fast response easy pickup! I was beyond satisfied with my order! I got custom donuts saying "happy bday Marley" with two hearts, for my daughters 5th birthday. It was amazing and she was so happy and surprised. She said it was better than a birthday cake!!! Every single donut was delicious and visually appealing as well!! Very very happy. I'm excited for my next celebration just so I can order more!!
erica Soriano
Didn't find all the crafted donuts I was looking for. Probably it was just to early in the morning 5:30am? Well they are deliciously good 😋. …
Erin McCormick
Amazing donuts! The classic chocolate frosted twist was so delicious and so was the strawberry cronut! This was my first Cronut ever and both donuts were moist and fresh!
The coffee is awesome too!
I’m from the east coast so good coffee and good donuts are very important to me. ☺️
Victoria McElfresh
Fantastic array of colorful & unique combos of favorite flavors, ie, maple/bacon bars, croissant donuts & cinnamon rolls w/xtra glaze upon request. There is generally a line but it moved fast.. now, parking is a nightmare....When in LA, I still try 2 stop by.
dp_dan2.0
The donuts are amazing I remember I went around 7 years ago and I still come to this place I still love them my main problem is that around 2 days they start getting a little watery but that's other foods in general overall the donuts are amazing my favorite is the maple bacon 🥓 …
nellie kim
A Los Angeles institution. Whenever a donut craving strikes you can count on Cali donuts to be open.. Because it's 24hrs! Cronuts are good, but it's hit or miss
Alex Bermudez
There's a large glass you have to talk through to put your order in and on the glass it says not to worry that they could hear you but if you're soft spoken like me and it's busy (it's usually busy) then expect to disregard that sign. Other than that the donuts are pretty good. Try to go when it's not busy.
Michelle L'Hommedieu
My sugar ring donut and chocolate glaze donut were delicious. Their donuts are so soft and pillowy. I've had better donuts in St. Louis but these are close and definitely worth a try.
Mike
My mouth was open the moment I looked at the donuts. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant with jalapeños, strawberry donut, and of course a cup of coffee. Coffee could be better, and the croissant was good. The donut on the other hand was out of this world. Words can not describe, you must try for yourself.
Karen Fernandez
I love coming here in the mornings before work when I'm craving a yummy donut, especially the chocolate strawberry one. The line isn't long in the morning before 9am but if you get there later, the line might be a little long.
Ken Corsino
This doughnut shop is always busy but the line usually moves fast. They are open 24 hrs and the doughnuts are always fresh but in my opinion certainly not the best I've had. You can easily get the same quality product at Ralph's bakery or any other doughnut shop around. Good for a snack after a night out at a bar.
R Kim
The only time my wife ate more that 1 donut in one sitting. And it was mine. Do I need to say more :/
Leigh Goodwin, MBA, MAcc
Talk about curb appeal. I didn't buy anything but they have a magnificent selection of donuts and pastries displayed through a large Bay window. They offer all types of coffees and blended beverages. I am on comfort food hiatus but when I get that occassional craving I will be returning. I was in the area getting Baked Chicken.
Allan Suwito
Their regular/classic donuts are definitely above par of your typical run of the mill donut shop. But they also have more decadent flavors, such as strawberries and cream and Oreos etc. Those are all a bit too pricey, but they are good still. Overall a solid donut stop shop.
Blahdiddie Loblaw
Thought they were overly sweet..not many cake donuts..
Basic raised chocolate was quality...maybe their fancies and specialty stuff is better.I prefer mom's
Rob F.
I thought the donuts were mostly hype. They are overpriced due to their huge social media success but flavor wise anything would truly be better. In my opinion the designs aren't even imaginative and constantly use other well known products as crutches. Even the smoothies tasted of old/fake ingredients.
Marc-Louis Paprzyca
The specialty donuts are unreal. I can't wait to go to California again just because of these donuts.
We had the Snickers donut that has a whole Snickers in the middle of a donut! Needless to say that was fantastic but so was the Blueberry Toast Crunch. It's a regular donut with blueberry frosting and Cinnamon Toast Crunch pieces. The D'oh-nut was great for a regular strawberry frosted that looks likes the ones Homer Simpson eats, hence the name.
The donuts are fantastic and so are the prices.
Alyna Edwards
Normal donuts with flavored frosting, the specialty donuts aren't that great, to much dough. The worker was very rude and didn't give me a great first experience. The drinks are not the best, mocha just taste like plain coffee no
chocolate at all. Favorite donut was the matcha green tea, the rest were to doughy. The doughnuts are over priced and they aren't great
Steph
I liked their circus animal donut but other than that their donuts were lacking they got stale fast and I don't expect that from donuts that are priced up there.
I think the only reason they're up there is there publicity they've received just expected better from this being my first time.
Cherry Lola
Love every donut! Unique cool yummy flavors. Must check it out! Delicious!
Heskel Grove
Their donuts are freaking amazing and the service is one of a kind. They have a delicious selection and the prices are just right.
Stephen Pinkerton
I think everyone knows by now this is a great doughnut shop. They've had some of the same employees for over a decade now, which is nice to see. Best doughnuts are the simple ones, despite the fun looking ones they advertise: crumb doughnut, blueberry cake, Mable bar, etc... The croissant doughnuts are the exception, those are very good if you like a denser, chewier doughnut.
Diego Sanchez
Some donuts are just for decoration and don't taste all that great in my opinion but every donut that I chose that I wanted tasted amazing

(visited on February, 2018)
Was looking for a donut shop, was also told by a friend to try it, I find it average nothing special, over priced. But very creative and for some reason people are all over the place buying those donuts, I got few different ones and tried them and shared with my group of people, the taste was just donuts , I mean I really don't see that different in then to justify the crazy high price, I think any donuts shop will do for next time
Tyler Glover
This is the best doughnut shop! They have amazing staff at all hours of the day and night and their hot croissants with different meats and cheeses inside are to die for. If you live in the area or if you're just driving by you will not be disappointed with a stop here
Odunbaku Media
These donuts are the bomb in California I typically wait about 20 minutes to get my donuts because I always crave them at night time and I guess so does everybody else but the donuts are really really good and very affordable.
julian clarke
Donuts did not taste fresh in the evening like they typically are. 2nd time that has happened. Probably not best to buy in the late evening. Usually fresh during the daytime.
Canadian Rocky
Love that they are 24hrs open. Quite a number of donut designs and flavors available. I went here at 12mn and there were 2 parking spots available. A must for tourists.
Lenard Ferrari
you have to try this.
best donuts in the world of koreatown.
24 hours.
I like my donuts fast sweet and fresh.
that's how I get them here.
they have fun donuts like the panda and pebbles bit my favorite of all time is the old fashioned donuts.
try it
Jenniffer Orellana
Delicious donuts and croissants. There's always a line. Super busy. The service is not that good they seem upset for no reason and they never listen to what you're saying.
Sonia Mata
The service here is great! Go during non-peak hours to avoid the long lines and the struggle to find parking. There is limited parking in the little plaza it is at but there is also metered street parking nearby, should you need to use it. The donuts are cute and yummy!
Carlon Humphries
All I can say is Thank you for being open 24 hours. You guys rock, not only do you keep my favorite donut in stock but your croissants with the hot link inside is amazing!!!!
Mr. StarOfTruth
Doughnuts are fattening but at California doughnuts you can't help but cheat and have at least one . They come in all flavors and designs ..
Robert Bogolin
People go to this place for one reason- the doughnuts are maybe the cutest food I've ever eaten. We got half dozen and the only one that blew us away taste wise was the Reese's. Otherwise, you can find better tasting, but not better looking, doughnuts elsewhere. The line also moved very slow for a doughnut place. Overall, you definitely need to go here to try it out, but it won't be our weekly doughnut stop.
Rudi Arroyo-Garcia
Best donuts I ever had. Period.
Must stop location when you're in L.A. From delicious donuts to delicious beverages.
I do have to say that parking is terrible. They have limited parking spots where this is located at. I usually park down the street at a local grocery store then walk about a block to get to California Donuts. That's always an option if you dont mind 5 minutes of walking.
Other than that, you have to try California Donuts at least once in your life.
Seannie K
What can I say that hasn't been said? This place has some of the most insane creations, with all your normal favorite donuts as well. Line is organized and they keep it moving. Not too much parking but this is LA, what do you expect?
steve rodriguez
A home away from home. I remember going here back in the late 80s and man was it great then. You would be able to sit inside and at times talk to the staff. I can say with all my heart that the Family that runs it. I love talking to them because they remember me as a kid.
Calysta calilove
Got to get the orange bang and a jalapeno and turkey or ham croissant of course don't forget to Maple with bacon weekends expect a long line usually there are cops here what do you expect delicious donuts
Shaun Henson
Best donuts I've ever had. The blueberry cinnamon toast crunch donut is my favorite but there's something for everyone here. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on when you go though.
James K
Over hyped. While it is an experience because of the types of "premium" donuts the long lines and prices eventually wear through the euphoria. If you can get freshly just made donuts, it's like WOW!! Got a freshly made jelly filled one time and it melted in my mouth, haven't been lucky enough to get one since. Feel the drive to get premium donuts (panda...panda, panda, panda) otherwise I don't know why I'm going here. When I do it gets pricey quick at a few dollars a donut. Depending on time of day lines can get pretty bad and parking is scarce. I still say give it a try and if any of my downsides don't bother you I'm sure you'll like it.
Sam Orndorff
The spicy ham and cheese croissant is amazing. Other than that, the donuts are just mediocre. But they have cool designs, and the workers here are really friendly- so I don't want to talk badly about California Donuts. That said, if you don't want to wait forever in line for an okay donut for your instagram, definitely go somewhere else. There are a million donut shops in LA.
Alicia Reeves
Wow this is place for donuts. They have donuts with everything. My favorite one is with double chocolate but I am sure that you gonna enjoy most of the donuts. The staff is amazing and they are working really fast so even if there is a line it will be fast one.
Abiel C
Delicious doughnuts, they have a variety of different not your everyday flavors like fruity pebbles, Reese's peanut butter and oreo though their flavors vary from time to time. They're always fresh and are open after hours for any late night cravings. Definitely a go to place for anybody visiting from out of town.
Timothy Hutto
California Donuts offers tasty treats 24 hours a day. Expect delicious versions of the the popular traditional flavors and Instagram friendly creations in this picturesque LA strip mall shop. Parking is scarce and lines can be long but no LA trip is complete without visiting a donut shop, make California Donuts that stop.
Inferno Skilz
Looks like a regular small donut shop but it's the donuts and items that are what make this place separate from regular shops. More costly than regular donuts but the taste is pretty good. Other than that, good service and would definitely come here again if I'm in the area or decided to buy some donuts
Chung Ms.
There are a variety of donuts for to go. But there is not enough parking place and no place to sit.
Corey Torres
If I could teleport I would eat here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Having spent $400 in a month at this place the line is flippin worth it. Fresh donuts round the clock; I could wake up, go out at 2:30 a.m. in the morning and get fresh hot frosted blueberry cake, Snickers bar, Ninja Turtle donuts and a horchata smoothie. This establishment sells bliss not junk food! Enjoy! :)
Patrick Karim
Really unique donuts, warm, moist and soft, just like how we like it. My oldest always orders the turkey jalapeno, yet to try it, but I'm sure it is good.
Mimzy Marin
I came here last week to pickup a Steppie order and I had a green tea donut. It was just the right amount of sweetness and the people are so friendly. However, you may want to be prepared because there is a bit of a line.
Sean Reyes
Snickers INSIDE a donut?! Yes that's here, amazing, and extremely filling. I cant say for sure if i will ever get another one, as i felt like the most gluttonous bastard ever after eating it. Lovely walk up window, good luck trying to find parking though.
Ms. V
Overpriced donuts I thought until I bought one. OMG so worth it.
Ashley Nava
Such a cute little spot. Donuts were good, but I especially liked the Blueberry muffin that I got. Will definetly be back for more.
I found a parking spot down the stree without any problem, and I showed up on a Friday afternoon and there wasnt a long line.
Evan Harrison
They have THE BEST buttermilk bars ever, and the horchata is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Their prices are fair, unlike many other trendy donut shops.
Vicky
Fresh and good variety of donuts. Pretty much the only donut shop I ever go to. Just a bit pricey for some donuts. Especially the ones that arent extravagant.
Roger Ma
Donuts for days (#DonutsForDays in this time and age). Well, that's what I was saying after literally asking for every single donut they had (and pissing off everyone who was behind me in line).
It was 2:30am and this was probably our third attempt to come here in the wee hours of the night and surprisingly the line wasn't as long as it usually is. I had my eyes set on a handful of items but I usually let my stomach make all the decisions.
The presentation of the donuts were quite nice. And the concoctions were interesting as well (oreo panda, snickers bar inside donut bar, etc). But I have to say the actual taste of the donuts were just so-so. Just a typical donut you'd expect from any donut shop.
Spent $42 on two dozen donuts, which isn't too bad compared to all these other "gourmet, handcrafted" donut joints popping up all over SoCal. But a regular hole-in-the-wall donut joint is pretty much the same at just half the price.
Would I come back? Probably not.
But great job on branding and marketing the hell out of this donut business! The hype never seems to die despite how long it has been since people have been ranting and raving about it.
Defacing Property
Really like this spot. Everytime Im in Korea town I pass by and I love the fact that its open 24hrs so i can pass by whenever I want. Its the first place I saw cereal on donuts and the combination makes a great sweet taste. I recommend it for people that like sweets, buy two, and they have good Thai tea as well. Cant wait to see what donuts they have for the holidays.
Warning, paking can be difficult and lines can be long. Bring extra cash cus they cost more than basic donuts, but they do accept card.
fernando ramirez
these donuts are really good. we came in the very late night and didn't have to wait in any line. i don't think i'd wait in a line for them. i highly suggest the fruity pebbles donut, that was my favorite
Samy K
Soft pillows of mind blowing deliciousness hiding under the guise of doughnuts
Lisa Tsai
Really good. Line was a bit long so would not go prime time in the morning. People also order like 3 dozen at a time: turnover very long.
I tried the matcha cake, matcha yeast and maple bar. I liked matcha yeast best.
I will be back for sure. 24 hours damn
Misty Jaffe
Excellent doughnuts--dense and outrageous amounts of filling. Pricey, though, for the specialty doughnuts ($2-$3, and they are not clearly marked in the display). The client experience, however, leaves much to be desired. You line up in front of a display window outside the shop (like a drive through, but you're on foot) and have to communicate with the employee on the other side. They cannot hear you, so it's all by pointing. You then wait for your order to get to a cashier. It's not very efficient.
Jason Munoz
Pretty over hyped and more about the looks than the taste. All the non traditional donuts have same cake base just with different icings and toppings on top. My personal favorites were the donuts with oreos and the blueberry cinnamon toast crunch. The lucky charms one was kind of gross just because the cereal is so sugary and stale. The fruit loops were stale as well so I would go with a non-cereal donut unless they had just been re-stocked.
Parking here is a butt and you'll probably have to park in the surrounding neighborhood or at the market next to the store. The line had about ten people in it when I went but it moves quickly. You order by pointing at what you want through a glass window and then paying at the register, where you can also get smoothies, thai tea, or lemonade. This is more of a one-time visit place just to check it out, I won't be coming back.
Emilie Bee
This place is like Portland's Voodoo Doughnuts, except it's been around much longer and is about 10x better! The doughnuts (yes, even the cereal ones!) taste fresh and yummy, as opposed to stale and soggy. They have a variety of cute creative wild doughnuts and all the classics. Pricing actually isn't horrible. I do wish they had some sort of window where you choose your doughnuts, though, because you can't speak to the employees choosing them and just have to point and mouth words through a glass barrier. Overall though, this place is great fun! There was a pretty long line but it was less than a 10 minute wait for sure, and totally worth it.
John Esc
So freaking good! I am a huge crumb donut fan and the ones from here are amazing and they're only $1! The classics are even better than you remembered and their newer crazy choices are just as great.
erika alcaraz
They have a walk up window or you can order in front of the donuts (they can hear you through the glass) It was my first time I ordered the Reeces, banana/nutella cronut??? White chocolate strawberry, & the Mexican one with the tamarind candy on top😀 The only one out of those I'd return for is the Reeces it's filled with real peanut butter💗 the banana one would be better if they didn't put chocolate icing + Nutella inside I think it'd taste better with straight Nutella
Also there was no line👍
Hugo Adame
Always open for whenever you crave something, they also got boba drinks. Have been coming here for 15+ years. Only issue is now they are so popular you got to get there at the right time or youl most likely find a long line to wait behind!
Melissa Lucas
Really cute shop. I wish there was an eating area but it's still worth going for delicious sweet donuts!
Nancy Aguilar
I love this place! Never disappoints on the selection they have. My daughter wanted her Xmas donuts so we drove from Norwalk to LA just to get them. The only bad thing is the parking...obviously its something they can’t fix but it won’t stop us from visiting again 😝 …
deanna Guzman
First time trying them . Very delicious will be going back soon
Shannon West
Good donuts, not too sweet at all!!!
J Gabriel Huerta
Nice & clean, exelente service & fresh doughnuts, only a bit pricey..
parking is a pain though..
Hyunjung Jung
Ummmm ... so delicious and employee are very kind.
Danica Henderson
Bought cookies and cream, croissant donut, fruity pebbles, and a lemon crumb donut.
ana avalos
Too sweet. The ghost on the donut was hard as a rock.
Kenneth Pina
I custom ordered donuts for a birthday at work. There was an issue with the pick up date that was completely my fault, but they were so accommodating and were so nice about it. Picked up the donuts this morning and everyone at work loved them. Thanks California Donuts!

Great donut place with no parking! You'll have to park at the nearby grocery stores about a block away, Vons and Ralphs. We got a dozen donuts coming out to a total of $16 due a to a couple specialty donuts. The only donut that I did not like and will never get again is the Snickers Donut, it is $3 and has some weird flavor added that does not mesh well, I think a coffee cream is added?
The classic donuts are all good - boston creme, glazed, homer simpson donut. My personal favorite was the blueberry cake donut, classic old fashioned taste!
Lines can get long, but they are pretty fast with usually 3 people taking orders and 2 people cashing customers out.

Love to get cute unicorn donuts from this shop. Price are okay for what you get, cute donuts and fresh. Services was great and fast. Parking lot are small and limited spot.

Delicious donuts with tons of creative toppings. I knocked off a star bc parking situation was horrible but I forgot that once I tasted my Nutella banana filled cronut. It will change your life. The Oreo was my 2nd favorite. My husband really liked the Samoa Girl Scout cookie donut and you can never go wrong with a classic glazed

Parking is horrible...if ur a spoiled west coaster. I am originally as Southern Cali as anyone can get but now Identify as an East Coaster and am not spoiled...just try parking where I live....but I digress the 24 hour donuts shop in LA is LA They make a donut with a full size snickers bar baked inside...Checkmate

Pretty cool place to go buy some awesome looking donuts. Tasty. Fun. No seats in there you order outside and really hard to find parking super crowded as well those are the only thing that are ehhhh about it.

Solid Donuts with standard flavours like crumb, glazed twist, and old fashioned. Good prices. Other options like cheesecakes. Decent service. Terrible parking lot.

The place has the best donuts. Better than Five Star on Abbott Kenny. They are creative and fun to look. Sometimes getting one is never enough! Careful, very sweet!!!
Leo Montero

Eduardo Ramirez
My personal favorite is the cookies and cream donut and the ham and cheese croissant. Both a must try. Of course the others donuts are great those are just my favorite.

Wow! Loved the maple bacon bar! Kids loved the panda one too! In fact we loved our doughnuts! So cheap, so fresh and the staff were so friendly!

Its fun - open 24 hrs - parking can be a hassle but if your lucky enough there's a person leaving right as u pull into the tiny plaza - parking will also be easier at various times of the day - I recommend the m&m donut !

Donuts and other related items made 24 hours a day. The "cronut" is a croissant donut, which is one of their specialty items. Seasonal donuts are available at times with decorations, for example Easter with a bunny . If you don't see it ask them, if they will make it.

Donuts are great, and the service was fast. Recommended.

Donuts were def creatively different. They weren't the greatest to me. The dough was very chewy and thick. Not my type of donut.
LEO UR.
Great selection of donuts! Fresh hot donuts at any hour! Very reasonably priced. Their croissants are also very good as well.
Taija McB
The donuts are close to my house, delicious, but not always worth the rude customer service.
Rigo Vega
First time here and they are among the best donuts that we have ever tried. I really recommend California Donuts to anyone.
Omar Ramirez
Best donuts in town. Very tasty and creative. A little pricey but worth it. You won't regret it.
Jacob Skoda

Van Tran
i love their donuts, especially the blueberry cake donut, parking is hard, very very small lot that may backup traffic on the main street, and the line is long sometimes; pricey for some signature donuts, for nice for a special ocassion
Lucky Thirteen
The doughnuts are beautiful, but for the most part, it's all hype. Nothing special. All they are is average doughnuts dipped is cereal. The lines are way too long but the staff are friendly. I still prefer Krispy Kreme.
Veda Krishna
I have not been there but Rosanna Pansino did the donut challenge with Jake Roper on YouTube California Doughnuts made all the donuts in the video. They loved them. They made my mouth water!!!!
Monica Moreno
Donuts are always fresh. Reasonably priced. Love the designs and flavors
Ron Lopez
This place is the place for doughnuts. They have oreo panda. Bacon doughnut. Fruity pebbles, snickers, and a whole lot more variety. Be prepared to look for parking as the parking lot they are in is small. Depending on the time you show up the wait may be long. No more than 20 minutes. The staff is very helpful. All you doughnut lovers make a still here.

Regular glazed donut was really gross for some reason. Other donuts were fine. Interesting flavors. Worth a try.
Daniel Gabai
Rude rude and did I mention ruditude.? Well...I cannot stress enough how disappointedly nasty and rude the employees are ....one woman in particular. I've been twice in the last couple weeks and both times I was met with blank stares and attitude. The product isn't anything special I promise there is better further west with less drama and a shorter line...which isn't any indication of how busy they are but clearly tells they are more efficient in expediting their product with smiles😏

This is the one, accept no substitutions! Fancy donuts, including cronuts and long donuts, plus other pastries and delicious drinks! Get the strawberry lemonade - it's the dairy-free option and with chunks of real strawberries, it's AMAZING.
Orlando Green
Best donuts ever. Not your original donuts.. They have flavor, they look amazing and they are so creative. Just expect to wait in line for them. Nothing good comes easy.
Claudia Munguia
Only been here two times and both times times there has been long lines but these are definitely are to wait for! Doughnuts can range any $2-3 each.
Recommend for all !

8x8 croissant donut!!! Prolly the most unique donut I've seen (they have one sandwiched with pumpkin spice ice cream... Omg). I got one with banana and Nutella topped with cinnamon for a birthday.
Parking: Really sucks. Best to come here with another person (one will wait in the car while the other gets the donuts/"cronuts").
Unlike the other donut shop, their "cronuts" are worth the price because they're bigger and they have 12 kinds to choose from. My favorite one is the glazed donut.
The owner: Family owned. She loves to get creative with her donuts. Find them on Instagram and you'll see what I mean :) Another cute one they make are Mickey and Minnie donuts.
TIP: Show up early for some fresh baked donuts! Or call in advance to see what they have. There's always a line and there might be a wait in the morning.
8x8 "cronut" needs to be ordered at least a day in advance.
Random: Anthony Bourdain was there for the 24hour layover ktown show. Unfortunately, they didn't make the cut...but sizzler and jolibee did... Which I don't understand.

Haven’t been since prior to covid but this place was great minus the long lines but I would drive 30 miles away every once in a while because it was worth it . Go with a friend or two her dropped off and then get picked up most of the time their no parking for a few blocks to a mile
Ashley Martinez
its one of the best places for gkod donuts!!
