    She served the person in front of me that was not wearing a mask but refused service to me because I took mine off. This lady has a negative attitude and preference, it's what I've noticed the two times I went. The first time I assumed she was having a bad day and just released her negative attitude with me, but now I see that she is the problem. If the place requires a mask then she should treat everyone the same. Customer service is very important and she needs to learn how to treat customers.

    Their are a LOT of Donut shops in the NELA area and I'd say Donut Star is in the Top Three... The Donut selection might be just the basics, but they always seem to be FRESH, soft and taste real good! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/donut-star-los-angeles-3?select=qaSLlwp_QsUwFcjA8T10hg#HTcp8I3as27NjtN5F0DdSA service is friendly too. Not a Coffee drinker, they have a large juice selection, want a Sandwich they can hook you up with that too... Chocolate Twist - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/donut-star-los-angeles-3?select=qaSLlwp_QsUwFcjA8T10hg#r6JWPqpN2yRojNvmhgwA9A This wasn't mine but was given two thumbs up! Bear Claw - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/donut-star-los-angeles-3?select=qaSLlwp_QsUwFcjA8T10hg#LCDTDC2l-zi7etTgQi4eDg Yeah that's how Pancho rolls.... This was very fresh, nice and soft, nice amount of cinnamon and apple inside. Don't forget those Lotto Tickets!

    More of the options they have on coffee and thi teas!

    I come for the apple fritters, which are the best anywhere for having lots of apple and a bit less glaze than others, plus lottery tickets

The interesting thing about vegan and vegetarian food is it's more diverse than any other in the U.S.-- on that, the variety was great! The service was very good! We were greeted quickly and given the rundown of what was on offer, the second visit it was less exuberant, but busy. The place is nice and clean, the sidewalk is a bit desolate. The street parking was close. Lots more to see around the neighborhood. DTLA has drastically improved since the shutdown. The unhoused seem to be housed now and general vagrancy is sparse, so that's nice to see. Lots of interesting shops and restaurants opening. Worth the trip!

    Unfortunately, my first experience at Donut Friend was pretty disappointing…read more They were supposed to open at 7:00 AM, but didn't open until 7:13 AM. I was parked outside waiting and was the first customer in. I greeted the employee when I walked in and didn't get a greeting back. I mentioned it was my first time visiting, and with so many flavors and options, I was hoping for some recommendations or guidance. Instead, the interaction felt unenthusiastic and I received very little help. I purchased 18 donuts for $85.07, so I definitely expected a better overall experience. To top it off, the box I was given had chocolate smeared on the outside, which made the presentation feel careless, especially for an order that size and price. The selection looks great, but between opening late, the lack of customer service, and receiving a dirty box, my first visit unfortunately wasn't a good one. Hopefully it was just an off morning.

    I heard so much about The Donut Man over the years, I finally made it down here to pick up a box…read more Not sure how long this location has been here at the Central Market in DTLA, but I was happy that it was here since the original location is much further drive from my home. I picked up two of each fresh strawberry and fresh peach, which are seasonal donuts. Let me tell you, it's worth the hype and price. Normal I'm not a donut fan, I'd rather have an everything bagel with cream cheese. But man, these donuts are the bomb. I'm glad The Donut Man isn't close to where I live. If you love donuts, and even if you don't....this is a must!

I stopped by for a quick dessert and picked up a chocolate donut with chocolate sprinkles. I'm still in love with this place, it's stood the test of time. 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!
