    After recently moving to Redondo Beach, I am happy to have found my go to donut place! Been here quite a few times, and the donuts are always fresh, and on point. It's a humble, no thrills type of space, but you can't beat the service and the quality. The owner is super friendly, welcoming, and personable! He has a kind, upbeat personality, and always helpful. The donuts itself are not the super fancy schmancy kind, but you can find all the classics. My family's favs: the twist and the apple fritter. The donuts are soft and fluffy - just like the clouds you land on, when you enter heaven with your 1st bite. But really, prices are super reasonable - c'mon, a dozen donut holes for less than $2, and a half dozen for less than $10. This is a special local Redondo Beach spot! Come early-ish for the best selection of donuts (as some types sell out fast). It's the real deal for the best donuts in town, with the most delightful customer service!

    I don't eat lots of donuts, but occasionally I'll pick some up for the family. I've been to Niko's Donuts a few times and he's so friendly and his donuts are fresh and tasty. Personally, the mean reviews of stale donuts and an unfriendly Niko seem far fetched as I've never experienced anything close. Could the shop use a little scrubbing? Sure. I appreciate Niko's efforts to keep a small business in the neighborhood. I like his donuts and friendliness too. 4 stars

    There is a smiling man working the cash register, serving customers, and making the donuts all by himself. He is a very kind person. This shop has many repeat customers. Both the donuts and coffee are delicious and reasonably priced. Thank you as always for your friendly service and delicious donuts. We will continue to happily buy from you to support your store.

    My daughter wanted to bring donuts to school for her class and her teachers. I noticed Niko's Donuts was close to her school, so we checked it out this morning. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed when I walked in. It looked very run down and dirty. The floors were dirty, the counters were dirty, and the place definitely needs a good clean and some upgrades. I wanted to turn around and leave, but I didn't want to disappoint my daughter. We ordered two dozen glazed donuts, and I also got a chocolate twist for me. Unfortunately, my donut was eh.. I felt like it wasn't very fluffy; it had too much chocolate and not enough dough. I couldn't even finish it. The guy that helped us was friendly and had a great upbeat personality. But unfortunately, the place needs a lot of work and needs to be cleaned. It needs to be inviting and welcoming as well.

    Still warm, got it at 6:30 am

    Freshly baked hot croissants, the best! Forget Sweet Wheat Old Fashioned Donuts Fresh, Blueberry doughnuts Great service, too.

    Jury's still out...I didn't see any plain donuts (my favorite) so typical fancies will have to do.

    Plain cake donuts. A simple specimen but they're my favorite. I didn't see any plain cake at Niko's but that's okay, he had my other family favorites and 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Niko's is in my neighborhood and more often than not convenience wins over taste as it did on this day. Niko's is a decent donut shop - it'll satisfy your craving. Fresh tasting and easily gobbled up by family and anyone who stops by for gabbing, coffee or weeding in the garden. For me half the fun of a donut run is the ability to take a photo of the boxed donuts themselves. Not sure why a photo of donuts satisfies the way it does. Kind of like an apple pie or a stack of pancakes. And heck, photos don't cost your wallet or waist (if you worry about such things). With so many donut shops in the area, I'll continue to search for my perfect plain cake donut. Until then, I'll keep a fresh pot of Peet's brewing.

    Niko's Donuts is a nice new donut spot on 190th street in Redondo Beach. The moment one steps into this shop; one gets greeted by the friendly owner Niko. There's fresh donuts galore from buttermilk donuts to apple fritters. Weekends also have specialty donuts such as red velvet donuts. Donuts are a $1 each or 1 dozen for $10. They also offer apple fritters for $1.25 and cronuts for $2.25. If you're craving something other than donuts; they've got croissants, chicken bakes and even breakfast burritos! I got to try their apple fritters, buttermilk donut and blueberry donut and everything was definitely delightful. I love that the donuts are fresh. They were also not oily. I'm happy to see a this spot open up. Their donuts are delicious and a can see this place being around for quite some time.

    This location has been a donut shop for a long time, but the current owners are new! And their donuts are great! We had some Glazed donuts, Maple Bars, Crumb Donuts & Cronuts. Definitely the best in this part of town. I really enjoyed all the donuts but my favorite was the Cronut! This is my first time having a Cronut ( I know I'm late to the game on this one LOL ) it was soft and flaky and buttery and sweet oh my. One of my new favorite things for sure :) The service is very friendly and they don't rush you to make up your mind, which is good because Niko's has so many fresh donut options to choose from. They also have a nice selection of coffee drinks and breakfast sandwiches. Niko's operate donut shop hours... 7 days a week, 5am - 2pm. This makes them perfect for a meal before work or school. Or just to take home and graze all day like we did :) Located in a strip mall there is plenty of parking and both the lot and the shop were very clean. Masks and distancing are in full effect for safety.

    I got 2 dozen donuts for my kid's daycare teachers. I was on my way to a chain donut shop and happened to notice this one had good reviews. I uploaded a picture of the menu, with donuts priced reasonably at $1 each or $10 a dozen! Also, to the jackass that came in to the store without a mask while I was being helped, who slammed your cash on the table and demanded a chocolate croissant before me - gross, just gross. I am judging you. I got some extra donuts for myself and it was fluffy and good. I would come back. But you might need a bigger sign that says the obvious - NO CLASS, NO SERVICE.

    So many choices and lots in stock at 8am! Plus we got a breakfast burrito and a ham & cheese croissant! #makesmewander

The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling. Seasoned bacon, scrambled egg, onion, and mushroom added nice savoriness to the dish. The portions were sensible and the prices were reasonable. Very nice culinary experience.

Also I'm sorry about that one but he had a foul smell like he just finished working out... the table next to us was saying the same thing. I came back on Friday (05/29)early afternoon and seen the same waiter still no refill and same foul smell Im going to try their other locations in PV or Hermosa and see if I'm lucky and they're like that location used to be

Service: Good service for a week night and we had a very nice waitress. They do a service surcharge that you can ask to have removed and they let you know up front about it. Atmosphere: Well designed restaurant decor and the views are top notch (even at night). You can have Tex-Mex on the beach. Win-win. Bathroom was serviced and clean.

After two nice spritz's I attempted to use the restroom only to be stopped by a server. She asked what I was trying to do and when I said simply use the restroom, she replied, "no it's for customers only." It was odd because we just spent nearly $70 there right next to where she was working, dressed like all the other beach goers that day. She said "oh" and let me go with no kindness or apology. No clue how I was identified, and it felt very profiled. But just left me feeling weird and not like I want to go back there or recommend it to anyone. In summary: Drinks and food was fine. One staff member was great. The vibe that server gave me ruined my day.

They have seating on the patio and inside with both tables and booths or at the bar. The decor is fun with bright vibrant colors and picturesque walls. Food was decent, though basic and (see picture of Truffle Fries, they should have spent a few more seconds in the fryer to get at least a little golden and have some crispiness rather than blanched and lackluster). The Machaca Scramble was the most flavorful and best tasting dish we had at our table as the corned beef hash and eggs were standard (not bad but nothing to Yelp rave about). By far the best part was the Bottomless Mimosas which are offered everyday, not just on the weekends! Big bonus! Our server was attentive and had a happy disposition. I felt Serendipity has so much great potential, between the decor, service and bottomless mimosas I'd imagine they would have more birthdays or group celebrations going on, especially for such a large space. But the vibe was a bit off with the low playing Spanish music, I would imagine if they had more pop music or upbeat music to fit the vibe of the place they'd have more of a fun vibe. Not that there is anything wrong with Spanish music, it just wasn't jiving with the vibe of the place and was so low and not so up beat (romantic Spanish ballads were playing). The laminated menus also gave an old diner vibe instead of trendy "serendipity" vibe. I'll still come back to see if they can match the vibe to the decor and try a few other menu items, but I do hope they up the ambiance. And get that extra star status!
