    Now I know what all these people are talking about this lovely Blinkie's donuts and the shop. Lately, I have been having a lot of sweet cravings. No, I am NOT pregnant. :-) just cravings like most people have. Walked in this morning around 10am & was greeted by couple of employees. Both very nice, sweet, helpful and kind. They have so many different donuts, croissants, sandwiches, hot and cold coffee, espresso, latte, bottled drinks and more.. They have an indoor and outdoor seating and the place is super cute and very clean, chill and you get what you pay for. I got a dozen donuts from them and tried one on my way home and it was just decadent, fresh, fluffy and the frosting isn't overly sweet. Has parking and a restroom for their customers! Will definitely return next time I am in the Encino area. Established back in 1960 & Winnie/the owner of the place took over ownership in February of 2023. Give this donut shop a try and you will be very satisfied!!:-))

    Had no idea there was a Blinkies here. As a fan of the one in Woodland Hills, def had to check it out since I was the area. Came past noon so I'm sure the selection would be slim but there was a good amount. The salted caramel caught my eye but I went with my go-to of the maple old fashioned. Absolutely delicious. The one who greeted and helped me was absolutely lovely. The lot was packed but luckily i had parked across the street at the commons. Nice inside with a good amount of seating for inside and outside.

    We stopped by for coffee and ordered the egg & ham croissants. While the presentation was lovely, the flavors felt a bit simple for our personal taste and didn't seem quite as fresh as we were hoping. The coffee also wasn't our favorite on this visit, so overall the food and drinks didn't fully stand out to us this time. That said, the space is truly beautiful and creates such a calm, inviting atmosphere to sit and relax. The service was especially warm, kind, and attentive, which we genuinely appreciated and made the experience feel welcoming. With so many glowing reviews, we'd absolutely be happy to come back to try the donuts and see what everyone is raving about. Hoping to have an even better experience next time

    Yum!

    Date: July 20, 2025 Been seeing Blinkie's pop up on my Yelp home page for a while now and finally had the time to check it out! Stopped by around 8:30am and there were two other couples there. Super cute interior with plenty of tables and a long bench along the walls for seating. They don't have any specific pricing listed or a 'menu' so it's basically you pay per donut you choose and they'll tell you the price afterward. I believe 'regular donuts' were 1.95$ and 'special donuts' were 3.95$. They also sell croissant sandwiches and coffee. Although the donuts were good, I can't justify spending 4$ on a donut that's equally as good as a 2$ donut. That being said, I did enjoy our selection and will be back to try the other selections. Ladies were also super sweet. Thanks for a great first try!

    Thank you Yelp for this find! Great to see Blinkie's open up a bit closer to where I live. Took my son with me and they could not have been anymore sweeter with him. Great service, and even greater donuts! I will definitely be back for my donut fix!

    Sausage and egg croissant sandwich.  It was large and very filling! Eggs were fluffy and they use actual sausage links for their sausage.
    Estevan F.

    Their donuts are good, tried apple fritter and cinnamon glazed twist, so good! Sandwich was very filling, add some hot sauce to it and it is very tasty. What I enjoyed most was the service. Both times I visited and was helped by different people. Both were so friendly and helpful. Enjoy!

    Nutella donut, jelly, horchata, chocolate glazed and old fashioned

    Great selection. Friendly & fast service. In same complex as cvs and Starbucks. Perfect place for a special treat or custom orders

    Really like this little mom n pop local donut shop…read more So far I've enjoyed every donut I've tried (except for the cinnamon crumble I think it was). I really love their chocolate donuts and their Nutella one. Yum. I also love how they have so many other offerings from cold bottled beverages, to sandwiches, boxed up cut fruit and even little bags of chips. I wish they'd try introducing some asian inspired beverages like boba and milk tea, that would be amazing. The owners are incredibly nice and the store was kept very clean and organized. Will be back again! =)

The mother always treats me like her son and tells me that I need to eat more because I'm too skinny and slips in a couple donut holes in my bag free of charge and gives me a wink. This is the true definition of neighborly love and hometown goodness. They have a vast range of donuts and don't sleep on their bagels. If you ask, they'll make you an awesome breakfast sandwich fully customizable. I'm an everything bagel toasted twice with ham, egg and onion. Also another recommendation would be any of their bear claws and turnovers (puff pastry with jam filling). Added plus are the hours, I'm an early bird type so getting a breakfast sandwich at 4:00 am while being greeted with the best smile is a win in my book all day long. The specialty donuts can sell out so if you're a maple bacon type person show up before noon. They have plenty of drink options as well. From juices to healthy drinks and energy drinks and coffees. There's table seating if you choose to dine in too. Parking has never been an issue because there's the lot out front and a garage below if the lot is full. I've never had to park down in the garage.

That's putting me on a mission to find the best donuts in the Valley. I usually go to Mama's Donuts when the craving hits, but since they often sell out early and close at 2 PM, I needed a solid backup. Enter Goldstar Donuts in Van Nuys -- open until 9 PM. The shop looks like your typical, old-school donut spot: nothing fancy, just a straightforward and busy menu. I grabbed my go-to maple bar and an apple fritter around 7 PM. Both were delicious and tasted freshly made -- definitely worth getting again. Next time, I'll stop by earlier to see what other options they have. The total came to $4.75 for both donuts, which is reasonable. The only downside was the service -- I didn't get a thank you or much of a response at all after I paid. So don't come here expecting friendly vibes; come for the fresh, classic donuts.

Sandwiches are low price and filling; If timing works out, I love to get a sandwich for airport snacking, as cold airport sandwiches are pretty expensive along with their other food options. Highly recommend especially if you're on your way to the airport, as they are close by Van Nuys Flyaway parking lot. The corner plaza is pretty run down and has questionable people hanging out, BUT this donut shop is still worth the visit.
