    Just a midnight crave for doughnuts and found this place. I just ordered matcha strawberry and it did not disappoint. It was delicious and nice packaging. I will be back for other ones.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Ube dough, glazed old-fashioned

    A beautiful display case. Easy to order. Ton of interesting flavors. Overly sweet for my taste though. The ube flavor was good and the chew of the dough was there. The old-fashioned was crackly also. But need half the frosting. Regardless, a good time on donut day.

    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)!

    Iconic packaging

    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.

    Variety of specialty donuts!
    Melissa M.

    Best variety of donuts...cake,classic, mochi , specialty creations....all reasonably priced! Walk up, order , and take it away to devour ! Located right off 3rd street...easy stop for a sweet treat quick fix. Love coming here!

    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!

    Been coming here for years, always fresh donuts for being 24hr in impressed!! So many delicious flavors and options to pick from. Also don't sleep on their coffee, it's quit good !!

    Where does it say that must be used in presence of the Honda people?

    Ask the Community - California Donuts

    Are there any gluten free options with the other desserts?

    No they don't

    Do they have Vegan options?

    THERE ARE NO VEGAN OPTIONS. I called so you know its legit.

    What's the Samoa?

    It's like the girl scouts' cookie; caramel & toasted coconut flakes, & chocolate drizzle ! 😋

    Does the curfew affect their services or still open 24/7?

    You should probably call them to be sure, but my guess is they have to close at 10:00.

    Is there vegan options?

    But not many.

    What time does California Donuts close today the one located at 3540 W 3rd St Los Angeles, CA 90020…

    They are open 24/7!

    Does anyone knows the diameter of the donut?

    The 🍩 size is the same as a regular

    Do they continue to cook donuts throughout the day and sell their popular donuts even after 6 PM?

    Yes fresh donuts even at 2am.

    Do they use lard?

    No.

    Do they have vegan donuts?

    Yes they have

    Are they able to accommodate a nut allergy?

    They make big batches and do not make made-to-order donuts. Would doubt they could guarantee a nut-free experience.

    Are they fresh and good if you buy in the afternoon to eat in the morning?

    I bought them in the afternoon and ate some immediately, and at night- and I think I had one for the next day! I would say yes, just keep the box closed so the air doesn't make it get stale.

    Do you have vegan donuts?

    No.

    Do they offer vegan donuts?

    No they don't. I just visited and asked the the employee confirmed they don't offer any vegan options at all.

    How is their Gluten free option?

    No they do not

I can verify that the donuts are just as good as when I had them as a kid. I scanned the racks through their little observation windows, selected a bite and was quickly at checkout. I popped in on a Wednesday night and there was NO line. The dude at the counter was a little exhausted, but he was calm. I've had good experiences here. I want to try their coffee next time, all these years and it's still on my to-do list!

Flour Fresh Creme Donut has been around for three years now, so that says a lot about how much people like what they have to offer. I naively went in looking for a traditional ring donut. You won't find anything like that here. They primarily have the Korean-style fresh cream donuts. Again, I was looking for a traditional donut, and the closest thing I saw was the flour twist donut. It was nothing like a glazed twist donut; the only similarity was that it was twisted. It seemed to be baked, not fried. It was very good quality, but I really messed up by not getting a creme-filled donut instead. My friend had a pecan roll and loved it. The quality of the product here is top tier for sure. The prices are premium, but the quality matches the price. They also sell sandwiches as well as coffee and tea drinks. I will certainly go back and try one of the many creme-filled donuts.
