    Yummy
    Ash G.

    Recently stopped by this donut shop to buy a few donuts for a medical group and they LOVED the donuts from here. I tried the jelly filled donut & it's simple, not to greasy & overall from the great feedback I'd say this is a good establishment to get your sweet tooth satisfied. The lady that helped me was very friendly & the place was clean when I came. Overall great donut shop

    We already started ravaging the donut box before I took this pic.

    Next day update::: I still ate the donuts and the dough is still darn good and soft and fluffy. I love this donut shop. Pretty good price and soft dough. Update:: got there around 12 today and got some cereal donuts. I thought they were $1.15 each but I don't think so? Donuts we're good and fluffy. 4 cereal donuts and 2 glaze. $9 - with 75 cent card fee. They had one Nutella creme one I wanted to try but someone ahead of me got it. The only thing was that the Cereal was rather stale. Yummy yummy! Fluffy, glazy and sweet little treats. Half a dozen for $5 and a dozen for $9. Lady was sweet, working on New Years. I decided to stop by after seeing the reviews to bring home a nice treat. It's located at Pico-Union across from my favorite Thai spot so I stopped by. They have a parking lot there. You can use card but it's a 75 cent fee. Anyway, donuts were very soft and the lady helping behind the counter was sweet.

    .Don't believe the hype? Arrived at 6 pm. Paid in the meter out front to park. Guess what? No cookie monster donuts, no elmo donuts and no fruity pebble donuts available. Complete wild goose chase. I think I startled the guy hanging out in back chilling with his coffee and the paper, but as he told me, he doesn't make the donuts and seemed completely indifferent to my request for one of the donuts I had come for I'm bummed. I will attach a pic of the sad case, with none of the conversation piece donuts. Save yourself the trip!

    Fruity Pebbles Donut: $2.00

    I wasn't sure what to expect upon strolling into Pico Donuts even though I had no intention of doing so at around 5P on a Tuesday night, but what I found was a great little community spot with good donuts but even better service. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? At this point I've probably been to close to fifty donut shops in the LA area, and one thing that experience has taught me is that with very few exceptions, Donut shops are not crowded at 5P. Never. That being the case, you can imagine my surprise when I found Pico Donuts nearly bursting at the seams at that exact time with a combination of kids and adults alike. It would appear that Pico Donuts has done a hell of a job diversifying, and just about everyone there was asking for either a Starbucks-style coffee drink or ice cream. While there was only one woman behind the counter doing it all, she was a champ, and burned through the line with ease (and impressive Spanish to boot for someone who was clearly not of Spanish-speaking decent). I got my fruity pebbles donut after a brief stop at the ATM and was on my way. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $2 for a pretty decent sized fruity pebbles donut was a reasonable price, and the rest of the items on the menu were priced accordingly. Refreshing in what is becoming a world of $3-$5 specialty donuts in LA. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I'll admit that the fruity pebbles atop my fruity pebbles donut were stale to the point of being distracting, but what was I to expect at 5P? Cereal freshness aside, this was a perfectly good donut. Single Star. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? This neighborhood needs a little love, and Pico Donuts is giving it exactly that. Star.

    Amazing donuts

    Great bread to icing ratio. Nice size and weight. Very dense and moist. The prices are reasonable but thebonly bad part is it's cash only.

    Cooooookie Monster Donut

    Stopped by this morning to buy two dozen of assorted donuts and ran into these impressive specialty donut signs. (Oreo, s'mores, Cookie Monster, m&m's) They didn't have any made but the minute I asked , this kind lady came from the back and asked what I wanted as she would make them for me. 3 minutes and she had them for me.

    Minus one star for NOT having a ham and cheese croissant with jalapenos. In the middle of Little Mexico, how do they not have jalapeno option on the ham and cheese croissant???? Baffles me! The donuts on the other hand were fresh, soft, moist and delicious. AND it wasn't even fresh out of the oven.

    Great customer service! Love the donuts here. Will be coming back very soon.

    I was in the mood for a donut, and my donut place down the street was closed. I've driven my Flour…read moreFresh Cream Donut many times. It used to be Magee" Dontuts for many years. 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.

    **LIGHT AND FLUFFY DOUGHNUTS IN MID-CITY**…read more Doughnuts are one of my favorite dessert snacks, so I had to try this neighborhood spot. The space is aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly, the doughnuts actually deliver. Elevated flavors, light texture, and nothing overly sweet or heavy. PARKING Located in a small strip mall next to a liquor store with a handful of easy parking spots right in front. DOUGHNUTS TIRAMISU Soft, airy, and flavorful with a mascarpone-like cream and generous topping. Sweetness level was balanced perfectly. Rating: 5/5 PISTACHIO As a pistachio lover, this was one I was excited for. Light and fluffy with a gently sweet cream filling. I just wished the pistachio flavor came through a bit stronger. Rating: 4/5 STRAWBERRY Very subtle strawberry flavor with an airy doughnut texture. You taste more of the dough itself than the fruit. Not my personal favorite, but still solid. Rating: 4/5 BLUEBERRY Similar to the strawberry, the blueberry flavor is delicate and not overpowering. Good for anyone who prefers lighter berry flavors without excessive sweetness. Rating: 4/5 Chris, the owner's brother, was incredibly friendly and added to the welcoming local vibe. Prices range from about $4.50 to $8.50 depending on the flavor and ingredients. Love supporting local businesses, and this one will definitely stay in rotation. RECOMMEND.
