Been going here since my high school days and it's definitely old reliable. 24 hours?! Can never go wrong lol. Would definitely recommend the pizza croissant and the jalapeño cream cheese croissants. Pair that with a blended mocha Parking might be a little tough depending on when you go, but they're super quick and nice here! I also love the many donuts you can choose from. There's something for everyone! read more

So today is national donut day; had no clue. I'm in healthcare so as I got off night shift last night I stopped by to get a donut. I see people waiting for something but I ended up getting 2 donuts and a coffee; this came out to $18 which is pretty expensive. I ended up waiting in the line of folks about 10 people deep and it was SoCal Honda people giving out gift cards for donuts. I was like well man I already paid. So I said cool I'll grab donuts before tonight's shift and come back with the "gift card". I returned just now, and they tell me that the card was only good for earlier when the Honda people were there. And mind you I already asked for 6 donuts to bring to my coworkers and a ham and cheese croissant. This came out to $19.50. Honestly crazy the vast difference in prices for what I bought in the morning vs. at night. I still paid for both transactions. Check out this "gift card" that's MISLEADING as ever. I can't say that I'll ever return to this establishment. Happy Donut Day LMAO... read more

California Donuts - Where does it say that must be used in presence of the Honda people? - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

California Donuts is an ol' reliable in my book. Each time I've gone here I've enjoyed the pizza croissant and their fresh donuts. Their food presentation is so nice and I do think that the flavors described on the donuts delivers - which is really lovely because they have quite a range! Ordering is a little interesting because you talk to the staff through the actual window, but they can hear you perfectly. My only gripes are that the parking situation is super minimal here, but it hasn't been a problem for evening trips. I also noticed that the donut glaze often gets kinds melty by the next day. Not sure what to do about that but they're great fresh. read more

California Donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've wanted to visit California Donuts for a long time, as I've heard from many friends that they have great donuts, and I finally got the chance to try them. I ordered a half-dozen, which included cookies and cream, Reese's, and marzipan, among other flavors that I don't recall. I preferred the marzipan and Reese's the best, especially the Reese's, which is stuffed with peanut butter. I recommend heating it in the microwave for the best taste. While the donuts didn't completely impress me, I'm glad I tried them. They have many varieties and something for everyone. The donuts are worth 3.5-4 stars. I wouldn't wait in line for them, but I would stop by if I were nearby. They aren't worth a long drive, though. read more

My husband and I were driving by around 8pm when we noticed a line outside this donut shop and decided to stop in since we love trying new places. Even with a few people ahead of us, the wait was only a couple of minutes. It's a walk up window setup where they take your order through a speaker and the donuts on display looked amazing. We ordered a half dozen including the glazed, Boston cream, chocolate twist, Reese's, and Girl Scout Samoa. Honestly, for the time of night, the donuts tasted as if they had just been made. They were incredibly light, fluffy and fresh not dense and cakey like a lot of other donut shops. The only one that didn't hit was the Girl Scout Samoa flavor. It didn't really taste like what we expected, but the donut itself was still delicious. Everything else was fantastic. Our go to donut spot has always been DK's, but I think we may have found our new favorite sweet treat stop. I also love that they're open 24 hours, accept Apple Pay and cards and offer discounts too, $2 off a half dozen and $5 off a full dozen. Definitely recommend checking them out, no matter what time of day it is! read more

This place is known for their amazing, signature donuts. Their system is pretty organized and straightforward. You fall in line, someone will attend to you and take your orders then you pay for it at the end of the line. They have so many options and staff are pretty helpful. If you like donuts, especially cute ones, definitely give this place a try. Lastly, just like any other spots in LA, this spot is located in a tiny plaza with very few parking so prepare to look for it off street orrrr just give up and give it another try next time (kidding... not really)! read more

Variety. Quality. 24/7 availability. I don't know what more a donut fan could ask for. This place is great and the donuts are delicious. My favorite so far has been the croissant donut (It's called something else) it was amazing! My friend swears by the Peanut Butter & Jelly. read more

Came back here because I was in the area and didn't regret it for once. Parking and getting in to the plaza is always atrocious so beware. Lots of different donuts in stock but none of my favorites anymore. It's okay though because it gave me a chance to try some basics and this donut shop does basics so well! I got the blueberry cake and it's so unique because they made it in an old fashion mold and it's perfect for this donut because it made so many nice crispy edges and the perfect amount of glaze and the donut was moist too! So now I know to not be disappointed I need to be buying the basic donuts here take notes people you can never go wrong with basics! Their packaging is cute and modern and service was quick and nice. I'll be back now that I finally know what to order. Hope they keep the blueberry cake in their rotation and daily flavor. read more

California Donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

When I first discovered this place over a decade ago, I didn't think it would be all that. No one went here and it was just a place that served donuts. Then they started making fancier and fancier donuts and became super popular. Before all that happened though, someone told me how they had $2,50 ham, cheese and jalapeño croissants. When I tried my first one, I was blown away, but then was even more amazed at the one with turkey. I couldn't believe my taste buds. Did Asians make a better croissant than the French? How was this even possible? Anyway, I've spent countless times coming back here to get croissants, because they are absolutely phenomenal. I love these more than any other croissants I've tried out here and could recommend these to anyone to try. They're open 24 hours, so time doesn't not discriminate against the desire for a goodie at any time of day. They also make really good cream puffs and donuts too, but I have kind of deprioritized sweets in my life. The ambiance is outdoors, so it is what it is, but the service is great because they'll toast your croissant on the spot for you. I love the croissants here and even though they raised the price to somewhere in between $5.50 to $6.25 (I think it's $6.25 after tax?), I will keep eating them. Just not in as big of a quantity as I used to get, thanks to inflation... read more

California Donuts - Turkey & Cheese & Jalapeo Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

LIFE AFFIRMING EXPERIENCE WARNING! THIS California Donuts is amazing. Almost every donut I've had here has been solid, if not better--that's for certain. Selection is always exceptional, ranging from simple cake donuts to cronuts and everything tasty in between. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any choice here. Now to the life-affirming moments... YES, TWO!!! The first was when I got a fresh cronut there. The sweet, decadent, pillowy, heaven-sent deliciousness just melted in my mouth. I almost had to pull over--it was such a sensation shock in the best way. I must have had the dumbest smile on my face from the sheer delight that cronut gave me. None have surpassed that. The second affirming experience was when I went down when their apple fritters JUST came out. THIS IS WORTH DOING. I literally started laughing from ecstasy when I started eating it. I was only going to order one, but that idea died after a bite. I'm not too ashamed that I did that in a moment of weakness, because that donut was magic... but it was gluttonous, in all fairness. Either way, THIS CALIFORNIA DONUTS is a must-try in LA--especially for apple fritter lovers. Just get there early!!!!! read more

I can confidently say that I have never had a fresher doughnut before and I love getting donuts. They had such a wide variety of flavors available and they were all so fresh. I personally ordered the Taro doughnut, the Matcha donut and the classic chocolate doughnut so those three donuts came out to 675. I would say that the Taro donut is definitely on the sweeter side so keep that in mind the matcha donut was like the perfect amount of sweetness. But the bread is phenomenal. It is so glutenous and there are legitimate air pockets within the donut. It's so good. You have to try it. read more

I lived next to this place for two years. Tried all the fun donuts. Truth? Outside of how cool they look, the donuts aren't very good. The frosting has a weird cheap sugar taste (hard to explain, iykyk) and they all taste the same; there's no natural extracts/oils added to the frosting. But they're cute, that's about it. The service always felt rushed, like I was in line for a club and everyone was just checking boxes. I wish I could say better things, but the hype isn't worth the money here. read more

I was in need of a few dozens of donuts for a large gathering of folks late in the evening. Luckily I found this place that was open and nearby. WOW. This place has a wide variety of donuts and pastries. I ordered 2 of almost everything. Apparently I was the only person not aware of California Donuts. When I arrived to the meeting, everyone recognized the box and immediately began picking their favorites. Now I know. Located on the corner with a huge glass window, outside only. Parking is tight but it's open 24 hours. read more

Grew up in K-town and have been coming here for years. They've never lead me wrong. Their donuts are always delicious and fresh. The service is quick and the people behind the window are always friendly. It's in a small strip mall so there's limited parking, but nonetheless, it's cute. All donuts are out on display. They have all sorts from your favorite classics to fancy ones that look like pandas and unicorns, and then they'll have ones that are decorated depending on the season. Love this place. I always recommend! read more

California Donuts - M&M and Reese Cup - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I went earlier today and ordered a mazapán latte. I asked for a large because the menu states that a large has 4 shots of espresso. I get the coffee and there was no espresso whatsoever. I asked the worker and he confirmed that he did not put espresso in it. He said that "the mazapán flavor does not come with coffee." I responded by saying "but it's a latte?!" He then said that he can add some for an extra charge. I looked at him with a very confused and upset look.... What do you mean a latte doesn't have coffee in it ? Wtf is a latte then?! read more

On the hunt for the best ham and cheese croissant and I may have found it! California Donuts is known for their cute and creative donuts they make from pandas to tigers and much more! They even have merch you can purchase. I came by this location early morning for a grab and go meal. It was no line and it appears this location is a walk up and no indoor dining area. The staff were really nice and helpful as they helped me decide on what to choose. The croissant was really fluffy and buttery with the right amount of ham and cheese. It's the best I've had by far. There is limited parking as this location shares a lot with other stores so you may want to park on the street so you're not blocked in. read more

I like that this place is a corner spot at a small strip mall.. But their parking lot is hellllla small. So if you're able to grab street parking, try that first. The staff was friendly and upbeat! It's a walk up window set up and they display their donuts to the left. They have sweet to savory goods. The turkey jalapeño croissant is *chefs kiss*. The combo of it all is so delicious!! I also got the horchata donut which was good too. Not to sweet and just right! They have classic donut to specialty ones. They have other items like muffin and breakfast sandwiches but the breakfast one are only served I think 6 am to 11 AM or 12 PM. And since it's the Christmas season, they have those kinda themed donuts that are super cute! They also have drinks from coffee, teas, lemonades to classic milk. And frescas too, woohoo! read more

We were visiting from San Diego this weekend and y'all know I had to write a review. I've got a sweet tooth!! These donuts were so flavorful and delicious.

Good donuts, but very bad service. Employees were rude and didn't seem like them wanted to help. After buying donuts and drinks, the security guard approached our car and knocked on the window to ask us to leave. We "took too much time" staying in the parking lot, even though every one was eating their donuts in their cars or outside their cars. We probably only stayed in the car less than 10 minutes. He solely approached our car out of the bunch and aggressively told us to leave. All we wanted to do was eat our donuts. Wouldn't recommend based on their customer service. Ruined our experience. read more

This place has some great donut choices. It can be a hit or miss depending on what flavors you like, but the good ones are so worth it.

Still, a fun treat spot when you're craving something sweet! read more
