Got some donuts for the coworkers for national donit day.The old fashion is the best donut here. It's crispy on the outside, moist and dense in the inside. Come early for the best choices. Plenty of parking and definitely a lot of memories going here during middle school and high school. The newer owners are also nice. Try them out, they have boba drinks too although I haven't tried it myself. .25 for credit card use. A dozen is $9. read more

We were in the mood for some donuts (I wanted a cruller) on a Sunday afternoon and ended up here courtesy of all the nice reviews. Although it was a bit out of the way, we made the commute. But only to be disappointed with the available selection and the quality. The selections were unappealing and looked very old. It had the look you'd expect five minutes before closing time. Anyhow, we didn't buy much as a result, the few items that we did buy tasted stale. Long story short, there's nothing unique or special about this place, just another average doughnut store. I'm assuming everything is fresh and amazing Mon-Sat. read more

Man taking payments was being responsible and wearing a mask, but the lady behind the counter wasnt wearing a mask today, sneezed, then continued serving donuts. read more

A good selection of some nicely made donuts. Service is very friendly! It's your classic LA donut shop.

Good quality at a great price. Take the kids and for a Sprinkled donut and the cost is $1.00. The fancy places are $3.95. Not the greatest service but you point and pay. read more

I ordered donuts for our Sunday church and they devoured them. They are our go to donut shop. Thank you

Doughnuts are good, usual hole in the wall doughnut place both special, and 100% reliable.

Excuse me while I try to wipe off the speck of powdered sugar off of...everywhere on me first :) Donuts shops are a dime a dozen in this town of Southern California and the word spelled in many ways (ugh!). I was sad when Dunkin picked up their machines and fryers and left my neck of the woods taking with them my love of their donuts. Krispy Kreme, despit their best efforts, hasn't been able to lure me into their clutches even with their glazed perfection of automated doughiness ( is that even a word?? Hmm) Donut Den has been around for a while and I've seen it many times on the way to other eateries, but never stopped there because my past experience with mom and pop donut shops were never good. Always oily/heavy and tasting day old, I came away from it feeling I just swallowed a good amout of lard, not oil. (shudders) Located on Pacific Coast Hwy and Anza Avenue in Torrance, I had heard this lair was a great place for doughy goodness that was light with a good selection. I can happily say this place deserve their reputation Great selection with a variety of drinks to wash your donuts down (yes, coffee can be found here). They also do other non-donut items (including a hot dog in a croissant), but I have heard you need to try their fritters. I need to try this one next. I tried a raspberry filled donut, glazed and twist donut. At 8:30 am, these were fresh, soft and very light. Very suprising. The raspberry filled? They are not skimpy on the filling, which was a fear of mine that never materialized here. I ate 3 donuts. I normally never eat more than 2. That's how light these donuts were. As for those previous reviewers who complained that donuts were not good when they arrived at the shop after 10:00 a.m. -come on!! This is a donut shop!! Everyone in the history of bread/donut/bagel makers and buyers know the early bird gets the worm. Or, in this case, the freshest and varied selection of goods. For me?? I'm coming here if I ever decide to skip breakfast at home and no time for a sit down breakfast. The service is quick and friendly and the guys behind the counter will get you out of there asap. For 3 donuts and paying under $ 4 bucks? Hell, yeah, I'm coming back! Tip: These guys close at 1 p.m. so don't complain if they don't have much to chose from if you get there late and the donuts not so fresh. Better to also have cash on hand and ready to pay and on busy days, the line can go out the door. read more

Quick stop yesterday on National Doughnut Day. It was mid afternoon, so some flavors were sold out. Enjoyed my white chocolate donut to celebrate the day. Very light and fluffy with solid toppings. Thanks! read more

This place was a great yelp find! Awesome selection of donuts. I saw croissants as well, though no muffins. I was excited to see orange-glazed donuts! The guy was packing up my box and I was like ooohhh one more - is that orange? My fav! Their cinnamon rolls and chocolate cake donuts also seem very popular. Kind people working and quick service! I should pay attention to prices but I am guessing it was around a dollar each item. You can also pay debit and buy a lotto ticket too. LOVE IT! read more

Nice little spot near my old high school. Been going since I was 14 and I continue to go anytime I want to get some snacks for my office or just a treat for the family. A good assortment at great prices with a very friendly staff makes Donut Den a staple for South Torrance. read more

Been here a few times. Great donuts. However terrible customer service. We went and ordered donuts and were told our total was $5.75. Came back home and saw on our bank app that we we were charged $12.75. Called donut den and let them know the discrepancy and they essentially told us we were wrong and it's our fault. Pretty rudely too. They argued over 7 dollars and now they've lost a customer for life. read more

These donuts are pretty, some varieties are better than others. Their cake donuts were good but the cereal topped donuts were stale, at least the cereal on top. The staff isn't very friendly but they put out a decent product. Not my favorite but not bad either. read more

HORRIBLE... doughnuts were old and nasty it was boiling in there the guy was nice and positive and he was good at his job I wouldn't recommend it eat inside I would buy and leave read more

Best donuts in the South Bay! None of that over the top weird stuff. Just fresh, high quality classics served in the iconic pink boxes. Can't go wrong! read more

The customer service at the Donut Den is atrocious! The employees are very impatient and rude. They get irritated when asking to put donuts in separate bags to prevent the peanuts from getting on the donuts for my daughter who is allergic to peanuts. They also do not use air conditioning, so they leave the doors open and it is very hot. Finally, they do not actually ring up sales so they can avoid paying their fair share of taxes. This would not be so bad if the "discount" was passed along to Customers, but it is not. They charge $1.50 for a chocolate bar (long john)! I highly recommend that you drive the extra couple of miles to Jay's Donuts for better donuts, prices and customer service! read more

Dropped in here for some Fathers day donuts. Was very underwhelmed. Flavor of the chocolate cake donuts was lacking. Buttermilk donut was undercooked, even tho I asked specifically for a crispy one. Boston creme were sold out by 9:30 am. Kids liked the sprinkles but that was the sole highlight. I won't be back. read more

Be been here many, many times and not necessarily to always eat here. Of course I have had their donuts and croissant breakfast sandwiches. But one of the main reasons I come here is to order 40-50 boxes of donuts for my Neighborhood Garage sale twice a year! I order from Donut Den because they are a staple in the neighborhood and everyone loves their donuts! The days donuts combined with the friendly neighborhood ownership and staff are two big reasons to eat at Donut Den! Highly recommended! read more

Ive been going here regularly for 15 years. Probably longer. A true south bay land mark. In my childhood, it was owned by a family. All the childeren worked there and dad made a mean turkey sandwich. I was addicted to their chocolate bars and multiple visits a day were not uncommen. Today its owned by a different family, same vibe. No more sandwiches and the donuts have grown. They were always really good, but now theyre boarderline art. Amazing new flavirs, trendy creations and conoletly sold out by mid afternoon. The prices show. As a kid, whatever coins were in my pocket would suffice. these days, i bring a 5 for a single donut and small coffee and change in return is rare. Still worth it. Best south bay donuts for sure. " a times, they are a change-in" read more

This is a great neighborhood donut place. Plenty of parking and quick to get in and out. Can also get a breakfast croissant and coffee. The basic glazed, donut holes and chocolate covered are my favorites. read more

I'm not going to lie, I've never heard of a cronut. What the heck is a "cronut"??? It is a croissant/donut hybrid that was absolutely fantastic! I also picked up a few other donuts, all of which were also fantastic. Pleasant staff, easy in, easy out a great way to start the day. read more

Let me start out by clarifying my 5 star. If I could be an asterik next to it I would. This place is definitely the best donut place I've had in the South Bay and possibly the best in the greater Los Angeles area I've had...beside DK donuts. Now I usually save my 5 stars for the best thing ever, but I don't think that's realistic since the best donut shop ever is doughnut vault in Chicago (yes, i said it...now go look it up). I checked in here on yelp and noticed that I got a free donut that day since it's offered Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It said "Free NTF Donut"...wth did NTF mean? I just want a donut? sounds like a nuclear bomb or something. So I asked and the guy just said it meant "non-trans fat." How nice, I thought. It's rare you see a donut place try to advertise a healthy aspect to a donut, but I do respect the effort. What I really liked about this place too was the people. I always feel awkward showing a yelp deal or some sort of coupon, but they were so welcoming and happily gave me my free donut. They also have free samples so you could try some of their creations...if nothing else, you get a couple free bites of donut and who doesn't love that? Anyways, I went about my day with my maple bar. Let me say that the donut was great. So light, so fluffy, perfectly sweet. My friend got the chocolate glazed and loved it as well. We were both impressed with the donut. I wish I could have gotten more or had room to stomach more that day, but wasn't quite there. You can bet that I'll be back. Actually...what day is it today? Monday! That's right...free donut day. g2g. Bbl read more

Best donut shop ever in this whole wide world has amazing taste and texture and donuts and more!

I looked this place up and because of the reviews I drove 4 miles to try it out. I wasn't greeted when I arrive, the guy working just stared at me not even a hello. I glanced through the donuts and saw the infamous Charlie Brown donut that I wanted to try. I brought up the Yelp check-in and asked about it. The guy shook his head no, I asked him "what do you mean" he said "no check in, no!" in broken English. I asked "is this you, your Donut Den right?" he said "yes, yes Donut Den but no use Yelp". I showed him a check in that was used by a friend less than 2 weeks ago and asked him why he won't honor it? He just said "no, you want donut what kind" I told him he shouldn't advertise something if you aren't going to honor it. He just looked at me like I was an alien and I told him "if your not gonna honor a coupon YOU provided on Yelp I'm not gonna give you my business that's just wrong. You bring people in on false pretenses and then don't honor your coupon". And I walked out.. I don't know what all the hype was about here, they weren't friendly, they didn't honor their coupon, they just stare at you and are rude. I was gonna purchase 3 dozen donuts for work and use the coupon to try 1 FREE of my choice as it states but not when they can't even be friendly. I WILL take my busi was elsewhere...I've copied the coupon they denied and included it read more

Donut Den - I tried to redeem this coupon as showed on Yelp and was denied. Why advertise if your not going to honor it - Donuts Near Me - Torrance, California

Finally, after reading so many great reviews about this place I purchased my first Charlie Brown donut. I am not a fan of donuts so for someone like me to state that donuts like their Charlie Brown and old fashion donuts are actually good, that says a lot. The service is very friendly. They welcome every person that lines up to get their delights. My first visit was a bite of their breakfast croissant sandwich comprised of egg, cheese, ham, and bacon. Not bad. It's not spectacular but not bad either. Their ham and cheese croissant on a separate trip was also pretty good. You expect a huge amount of cheese but it's just enough as to not goo all over the place like some other places do. That's personal preference. The Charlie Brown is a little tricky to explain. It almost looks like a cinnamon roll and unravels like a cinnamon roll but it's not a cinnamon roll. You get a glazed roll with a combined twist of what tastes like both basic dough and chocolate. Definitely chocolate in the Charlie Brown. The Donut Den, parking is super easy to find in the lot, the prices for donuts are affordable, service is friendly, and the donuts are a treat. Coming from someone who tries to go by a healthy food diet, it's hard to resist Donut Den after the first couple of experiences. I say a couple because who knows if the first visit was a lucky friendly one. That's happened plenty of times at other food venues. Donut Den checks out. So if you're looking for actual legitimate donuts, this is the place to stop by. The Charlie Brown is not a must but it's nice to try what all the fuss is about. read more

Wow!! look at all the glowing reviews!! I think I'll try this place .....what ? it's closed? why? it's the middle of the day? Must be an emergency or something...try tomorrow. Is it open?...closed again?...someone die?? WTF??!!! get some regular hours and you might have a loyal following!! Maybe make some $$$!!!......can't try em if your always closed! read more

I love Donut Den! My mom would always take me here when I was in elementary school for breakfast. For family get-togethers, my aunts and uncles would stop by here for a box of doughnuts. I was always excited to see that bright pink box on the counter as a child :') Now in college, this is still my go-to doughnut shop (if I manage to wake up early enough). I always get the chocolate glazed twist doughnut. It's so yummy! Their doughnuts are light, fluffy, non-greasy and fresh--just like what everyone says. I never liked Krispy Kreme because I think their donuts are too sweet and heavy...bleh! Service here is great! Friendly, fast, and super cheap :) It honestly ticks me off when people rate this place low because of what time they close. It's not Donut Den's fault for you coming late! Besides you're supposed to be rating the taste of the doughnuts, not their schedule. But I'm probably just saying that because I basically grew up with this place. read more

Definitely not a service professional place. Went there on Father's Day and got a very rude counter lady who spoke loudly and rushed your orders. Literally said "hurry up" to my wife with 2kids trying to pick there favorites for their dad. I understand there are rush hours ( we were there at 10am) but to talk back and be rude to costumer is just not right for any business. Btw, there donuts and sandwiches are like other yelpers comments, " nothing to write about". read more

What lured me into this place was their sign that said "light and non-greasy." I mean donuts that are non-greasy? I def had to come here to try it out. After checking out their yelp page, I also saw that a check-in gives you a free donut! Now, I DEF had to come try a donut. What sucked was that they close pretty early during the day (around 3PM during the week). After a second try, I finally was able to make it in on a Sunday before they closed at 1PM. I saw that there were cronuts and since I've never tried cronuts before, I decided to try one. I showed the worker my Yelp coupon, but he said that was only for the normal glazed donuts. Well, I guess I just had to get 2 donuts then! The cronut was pretty good. It was my first ever, so I didn't really know what to expect. However, it was definitely NOT light. The glazed donut, however, was pretty light and non-greasy. Usually you see the oil from the donuts sink onto the bag. However I didn't see any grease or oil at all on the bag of the donut. I would suggest getting the glazed donut if you want something light and non-greasy! read more

A friend who loves Kripsy Kreme brought these to work and i just fell in love. They are so good, not too sweet, not greasy, perfect! The BEST donuts i have ever had in my life! read more

I LOVE their donuts!!!! Soooo fluffy! I wish I live walking distances to it so I can go everyday. Lol.

Frosting looks watered down and doesn't cover all the donut. Donut was dry. Definitely won't be back.

Disappointing donuts. The cruelers have fake flavored toppings and the chocolate donut I had a bite of barely had any chocolate. read more

Their donuts really are light an not greasy at all! I love those pink ones... can never remember what they're called. I just order "the pink one" and they always know what I mean. What's that? They also sell Lotto tickets? F'n awesome! This place is great before work, and great for a sweet dinner. I love watching peoples faces when they bite into their first Donut Den donut! Mmmmmm deliciousness ecstasy has been found! read more

[Homer Simpson]mmmmmm donuts[drooooooooolllll] Donut Den, family owned and operated. I had to wake up at 4 in the morning ( 2/2/2015 ) so I can get ready for work at Williams Sonoma which they were doing inventory at 5:30 and so they were having a pot luck. I decided on donuts. I rolled in at 5 am still sleepy and bought a dozen donuts that was freshly made. The lady grabbed a dozen glaze for me and also asked if I wanted some coffee but I declined but also asked if I was going into work and I said yes. I've been coming to Donut Den for a while since my good friend Peter K. and his family used to own this place. I would come here get a donut or a drink or buy a lotto here and shoot the crap with Peter as well as watch the customers come in and buy food. The Non-Greasy and Lightweight carried on to the new owners!!! By the way when a bunch of us break for lunch at 9:30 in the morning, a bunch of the donuts I brought in were gone. As I got off work, there was one left!!! I did good!!! Donut Den still beats the crap out of Krispy Kreme. read more

Place was clean inside. For a Sunday morning around 10:30, selection was limited to cake donuts and a few other options. I like the glaze style donuts mostly, but did not see any or even any glazed chocolate bars, although I did notice them in the pictures and even shown below. The donuts for my taste were OK, but I do realize each of us has a different taste. I am not putting this donut shop at the top of my list to come back to since there are several other nearby locations that would meet my needs when I do have my donut craving not knowing if they are going to have enough variety to satisfy what I'm looking for. read more

I still stop by the Donut Den every Tuesdays and Thursdays, same great taste as always! The employees are great and nice people. They always know how to make me come out with a smile. read more

All these good reviews? It's really just so so for me ... donuts supposed to be greasy and tasty ... this is like a diet version of the donuts. I'll go for a greasy one, since i'm gonna eat a DONUT. read more

Love this place!!! The staff is always friendly and they have a great selection. I don't eat donuts often, but when I do I enjoy coming to this place. It seems that this area has tons of donut shops , but so far I prefer this one. read more
