    Custom letter donuts
    Ale M.

    This review is for their custom letter donuts only. Regular donuts are great tasting every time I come here. They get a 5. But I ordered one dozen P donuts and one dozen J donuts. They were smaller size than their regular donuts and the J shaped donuts were a disappointment. They looked like little logs. I thought they'd at least add the top of the J to make them look better. They were pricey too. $34 for each dozen.

    About 10 days ago, I bought some customized donuts from JK donuts and brought them to my husband's work. I'd say the donuts were aesthetically pleasing. My husband's colleagues really like them and got lots of compliments. Service: Fast! The lady was able to accomodate a short notice order a day before my husband's bday celebration at work. Food: Visually artistic. Tasted really good. However, they were a bit on a smaller size. They almost look like the bite size donuts. Price: $32+tax for the complete "Happy Birthday +name" or only $20+tax for "Happy Bday". Prices vary as well for different flavours/toppings.

    (Tookout 09/14/20 MO @ 12:00pm): J K Donuts was no joke! In my unwavering quest for an apple fritter wherever I was, my latest find was J K Donuts. When I did a Yelp search of the area, I appeared to be exhausting my options with only a few left to try - go figure! As I neared completion of donut shops in Whittier, would I return to this one once that time comes!? PURCHASE THE "APPLE FRITTER IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD TOUR" CONTINUED... Apple Fritter ($1.95): Not that I was an apple fritter snob - eff it...yes I was! - but there was a certain way I liked mine. 1st, the price was very comparable to the now going rate. 2nd, it was very round, I liked the thickness and density, and basically the size of my face (an ode to the great Goldstar Donuts in Van Nuys). 3rd, there was a mass amount of apple bits. 4th, the overall dark brown color was extremely nice with many burnt ends (I loved it burnt), and the heavy glaze made for an incredibly good and messy cracking effect. There were many crunchy odd crannies, corners, and nooks which I liked to break off into small little morsels. 5th, it was fresh based on its temperature with slight hints of oil pockets or gooey apple juices that leaked into your mouth and dripped down your throat. Overall, it had complete value - 5.0 STARS https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-AABilaS9ig2TfehCaIOkA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Large Mango Fruit Smoothie w/Boba ($3.95 + $0.50): My first meal of the day satisfied the craving. It had a decent amount of chewy boba but not enough (I liked a lot), lightly sweet with minimal mango flavor, and a nice cold consistency - I liked it but had better https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=X2olDaF0dNdrYg2qm1qclQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Bacon Maple Donut ($1.35): You had me at bacon, and the thick maple glaze was off the hook; you couldn't ask for anything else... except more bacon https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=X7sTFEN0yMc8S3rvd8zYTg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Buttermilk Bar ($1.20): A beautifully-fat heavily-glazed creamy bar of goodness that I actually ate the next day, fifteen seconds in the microwave softened everything up and simply melted in my mouth - amazing https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RglyAr-OUEmendMgvfPpgA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Rainbow Sprinkles Cake Donut ($1.10): Plenty of colorful sprinkles with a thin vanilla frosting and fresh moist donut - it's such a happy donut https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=tGim7my8fFUI93qC7CHJyA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I was greeted by a friendly middle-aged Asian woman who gave me her undivided attention since I was the only customer at the time. She quickly collected my donut order before she created my boba drink. In less than seven minutes, I was out of there to enjoy my drink on my drive home - thank you! PARKING (FREE) Located within a medium strip mall with several businesses, parking actually wasn't bad at all since I parked directly in front of the shop. Otherwise, there was plenty of parking along the main drag of Whittier Blvd. and nearby side streets. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A spacious shop with one donut display case https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GJzm_-2Ek0M17gqROomYTw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw highlighted by the apple fritters https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SNAfM4va8Y0YggyrXsNKlQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and decorative donuts https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=za3ID5qn5CNL-KgVlsb9hw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a cooler filled with plenty of bottled/canned drinks, easily legible fruit smoothies https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fMBJpS_HeTwKoEeae1dz1g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and drink/food https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Fm1QLG0trBw7Er31LagpCQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw menus/prices, respectively, no tables/chairs whatsoever due to COVID-19, a separating Plexiglass between you and the salesperson, and a large Scratchers machine https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2cfrr5gEJ_QVypKlqvWxeQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Plenty of natural lighting came through the front glass walls (although semi-covered by some pictures and signs) and door while soul-sucking electric fluorescent ceiling lights covered the rest. I didn't notice any TVs nor background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL J K Donuts was a lovely find with an amazing apple fritter and would definitely return for more! Everything was fresh and yummy, the prices comparable, and the service exceptional. They also sold bagels, coffee/drinks/tea, croissants, ramen, and more! Plus, it's always a pleasure to support a mom & pop small business. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $11.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    HBD donuts (should have said no to sprinkles)
    M C.

    Thanks to Yelp I was able to find a local donut shop that makes the donut letters. Placed the order a week before. Price was $26. I requested that they make the donuts a little thicker because some of the pictures from IG show the donuts on the skinnier side. The guy who helped me wasn't the most pleasant and welcoming in the world but he took the order correctly and delivered timely. Can't comment on the taste because the 13 men I was with gobbled them up...the birthday boy didn't even get to taste them.

    I called early in the morning for a last minute happy bday donuts and they were able to make it for me super fast. The lady on the phone told me for orders with a special name request are normally done the day before. So for my next order I will for sure call a day in advance. I am attaching a picture of the donuts and you can see for yourself just how cute it came out. My daughter absolutely loved it. I paid $17 and it was worth every dollar to see my daughter so happy when she got it.

    I would of given this place 5 stars but when picked up donut orders we got a strawberry banana smoothie with boba and it was not good. So felt like I wasted $4.50 on that.. on another note though, placed an order for pink and light blue donuts with white sprinkles and the donuts were so cute and so yummy!!! Definitely would go back for donuts!

    7th birthday for my mini. SPLATOON style
    Valerie B.

    Place is right next to Dunkin Donuts. Crazy right? But it is a family owned spot that has a good variety to choose from. I came here on the morning of 7/15 saturday, because I saw them on instagram for custom letter donuts. I wanted letter shaped donuts in fun colors for my daughters 7th birthday. And they made it happen with the colors I needed. They even recreated a few squid shapes that was needed to accent for her birthday theme. Ill soon come again for holiday or special occasion shaped donuts.

    Love the way the donuts turned out for my son's 13th bday! This was his breakfast when he woke up . Btw, these donuts are so yummy!!

Like others, I've been coming here for years. And although I get here around 10am or later, everything is always fresh. I love the toasted croissant breakfast sandwich, with sliced pickled jalapenos, AMAZING. I'm so glad it was recommended to add them the first time I came here. Been getting them every time since. The egg is cooked perfect every time. No lace and not rubbery. And don't hesitate to ask for an additional egg on that bad boy for a little extra protein. The sausage has good flavor too, unlike some other places where they seem to have close to none. Nice creamy slightly melted cheese on that bad boy too. (Ah crap, now I'm craving one, guess I shouldn't have written this at lunch time) As for the donuts. If they have a donut flavor you usually like, there is a good chance it will be the best, or close to the best you've ever had.

    Review #1016 2026-086…read more Donuts Order: Apple Twist $2.75 Blueberry Cake Donut $1.75 (comped) Boston Cream Donut $1.75 Cinnamon Roll $2.75 Croissant Donut $2.75 I was dining nearby for a YEE, & wanted to treat M to a donut for being my carpool. Cherri's Donuts was sitting around the corner so it was an easy stop before returning home. I picked a couple of favs: Apple Twist & Cinnamon, & they're huge! I also added Boston Cream Donut, Croissant Donut, & Frosted Vanilla Cake with Sprinkles, & the owner threw in a Blueberry Cake Donut. Whoohoo! When we got home, M's Frosted Vanilla Cake with Sprinkles was missing. I went through the bag to check the contents & found that I was charged correctly even though my son's pick wasn't in the bag. I saw that it was set aside but didn't make it in the bag. It was fine since we had several pounds worth from just 5. Even though it's late in the day, the donuts were fresh but not "hot off the fryer" fresh. It's debatable which was best: Apple Twist or Cinnamon Roll. The twist was fluffy & soft, with bits of cinnamony apple filling & a light sweet glaze for some added sugary goodness overload. The roll was a tad heavier, but still fluffy with cinnamon swirled through the pastry & topped with the same sweet glaze. M was sad that his pick was missing, & made do with a tasting of the Blueberry Cake Donut & Croissant Donut. He liked it, but still wanted his vanilla cake; he's haunted by the rainbow sprinkles. Like fellow Elite Vince V. parody sings... donuts the size of boulders... every day that I adore you! It's a bit of a drive, but if I'm in this neck of the woods... I'm walking right on over! Recommended: Everything ordered... I highly recommend the Apple Twist & Cinnamon Roll!

    I would never want to lower the rating for this place - Cherri's Donuts in Santa Fe Springs - but…read moreI'm doing this for something other than their food or service. In driving out to the Coachella Valley desert towns from LAX, I made the habitual stop here. Not buying donuts for anyone on this visit, the stop was to satisfy my donut craving. I also had to use "a" restroom. They don't have one. I snuck into a nearby store I didn't patronize to do so. Thank God the code feature was not functioning at that time. On the outbound trip, I ordered a double chocolate, a strawberry frosted, and an orange frosted donut. I shouldn't have done that, but I love Cherri's Donuts's donuts. Those three donuts were lunch. In fact, I stopped in again on my way back to the Los Angeles area and got a strawberry frosted and an orange frosted donut. On this stop, they made for breakfast. I'm enamored of their orange frosted donut more so than anything else. With the social dynamics and related have-have not problems in SoCal, it seems businesses are guarding their restrooms more vigilantly ... or not providing restrooms at all. I also think that Cherri's Donuts probably serves a local clientele living within a 5 mile radius. They don't think that someone driving to and from LAX might make it a donut pit stop and also need to make a restroom stop. The employees here are reliably pleasant. There is also a small parking lot behind there store, so I used it instead of parking by the curb since I had luggage stored in the back of the vehicle. With the 605 and the 5 intersecting nearby, one needs to get into the correct lane for the Telegraph Road exit fairly quickly. However, for their donuts, you'll manage and you'll do it.
