    Open almost 24 hours! Delicious donuts of gigantic proportions are served fresh daily. Sugar cravings fixed here!

    Apple Fritters!! Popped into Voodoo Doughnuts on my day off from most things and finally go to take in everyone's favorite pink corner in Hollywood on Melrose Avenue/La Brea Avenue where this newest Voodoo reside neighborhood to the legendary Pink's Hot Dogs. Great store front, wall art outside as well as in and all the decadence in the form of doughnuts. The vegan friendly options are plentiful with loads of classic style as well some of which are the same ;) like the Apple Fritter. Big fan of the Raised Glaze, ODB (Old Dirty Bastard), Maple Bar and others. Service at this location is warm, sunny and personable. It can get busy especially in the early AM and sometimes at late night. Open until 3am daily! Parking is where you can find it, though they do have some of their own parking behind the main entrance with access frok either street. V.Doughnuts also does mobile pick up and 3rd party delivery. Great cool fun merch and beverages available as well. Get you're magical fix at the Voodoo on Melrose.

    I'll give this donut spot a five because I loved Old Dirty Bastard. Initially I wasn't sure how the donuts would taste but I really enjoyed what I had. It was soft, moist, and so chocolaty addictive! A real bastard! The donut carousel was the one thing that caught my attention! Service wise it was alright. Ambience was fine but nothing much. No seating area to eat your donuts. As long as the owner keeps its donuts fresh and fun, I'll be happy to come back.

    Easy to get hooked.

    We were at Pink's and I noticed Voodoo donuts next door. I didn't know they had a SoCal location and wanted to try them after all the hype I had seen in years prior about their Portland startup. I've tried my share of donuts over the years and these did not disappoint. The maple bar with bacon was excellent. The chocolate on the raised donut was perfect. My wife enjoyed her favorite, plain glazed. We've been back for a second visit on our way back from Canters deli and I can easily say that I am hooked on Voodoo Donuts.

    Top tier donuts!!!! Not only are these super fresh and delicious donuts, but the staff at the Melrose location are absolutely incredible. Shout out to GM Billy for helping us create these custom themed donuts he was such a pleasure to work with. The bakers were also so amazing in following our inspo photos and getting them perfect. They take pride in their work and it shows!! Cold brew and black coffee are also super solid and go great with donuts :) it's a small shop but they have easy parking. Ambiance is nice!

    A pink paradise! Adrian helped us through the selection of our doughnuts, we really appreciated his overall vibe and friendliness. I went with the Homer and the VooDoo Doughnut and my friends got the raspberry Romeo (that jelly is SO GOOOOOD), the banana cream + mango one (forget the name). Delicious!! Thanks for having us.

    On the hunt for a good apple fritter donut. This place is located on the corner next to Pinks hot dog, the building itself is PINK, you can't miss it. Plenty of parking, before stepping into the place you can see the menu of the difference donuts. The apple fritter is HUGE, so sad that I couldn't find any apples in my donut. So sad! Old fashion donut was dry and not moist. The churro cheesecake donut was good and I think the cheesecake helped it from being dry. The oreo donut was also dry. Blueberry cake donut, that one was actually moist and flavorful. Overall, I probably won't be coming back to get donuts here. 2/5 were good donut.

    Some of the best donuts in town I like the blueberry & the maple bacon oh so good but I did get a dozen and ate 3 in the car before I even pulled out the driveway..lol the guy was very helpful with explaining all the different kind of goodie's they had.. so if you want something a little different from your usual donuts stop by and check voodoo out

    Recently found myself in LA and wanted to go to Pinks. When we were done with lunch, we saw Voodoo and decided to stop in. There was a line with a few people ahead of us and just one gentleman working the counter. We ordered a few of the voodoo doll donuts as well as the Memphis and the strawberry donuts. The voodoo donut was very good and this was recommended to me by my sister. I like the raspberry filling and that it isn't too sweet like a pie filling. The strawberry was very good and the Memphis was like nothing I have had but very good. At around $4-$5 a piece its not bad. I would return.

    I'm preface this with the fact that I'm not a breakfast guy or a donut guy. Bad for the hips lol. However, I've heard of this spot and I figured I'd bring a friend a few treats after lunch. Stopped by and the room was very welcoming. Staff was awesome and knowledgeable. They were friendly and willing to give me their personal recommendations. The vibe inside is a chill donut shop. Very clean and well maintained. The donuts were pretty good. The icing is a little sweet for my taste. Almost like a fondant type of texture which isn't my favorite. But they did have this apple donut which had an apple chutney inside and a chai spice icing. By far my favorite of the batch. If you're in town, it's a pretty cool spot to visit at least once.

    Pink building on the corner of Melrose--you guessed it, Voodoo doughnuts. I first had their donuts when in Portland, perhaps like most, and I was so happy that they are making their way a little further down south. I was greeted upon entering and hopped in line. I ordered the Vegan Belgian cream and Vegan Raised Glaze. The Belgium cream donut was good, but a little on the sweet side; the raised glaze was absolutely delicious. It rekindled fond memories both the donuts and the shop in Portland. It was clean inside of the establishment and the service was great. Definitely worth a visit and it's right on the corner you cannot miss it!

    Not bad donuts but nothing to go out of the way for. I mostly come for the funny designs and because I'm close by to one. Tried it at city walk. Tried it in another state on one of my travels and my enthusiasm is about the same at each lol. I've tried a few different ones like the Homer, the dirt, this time I tried strawberry shortcake which was one I liked a little bit more and they had a funny Pac-Man one called "cok n ballz" which I got for the meme factor of surprising my friends with this "funny shaped" donut. Donuts here are like $6+ for the specialty donuts and no disrespect the donut shop by my house with their $7 donuts though a little more costly are way more impressive. Not a bad spot to try out but nothing to make a crazy detour for. The decor and names are creative but the donuts have always left me feeling just whatever about them.

    The VooDoo Doll Donut.
    Nikki B.

    Years ago, I attended a party where someone brought a box of VooDoo Doughnuts. I remember trying the signature VooDoo Doll doughnut. Not sure who I was mad at, but I'm sure they felt it when I bit their head off. LOL! Based on the name most people think this place originated in New Orleans. However, it was founded in Portland, OR by two friends - Kenneth "Cat Daddy" Pogson & Tres Shannon. VooDoo offers traditional and unconventional flavors sporting clever names (like Old Dirty Bastard) and creative toppings. Their repertoire includes 40 artisan creations and 10 vegan options. I finally had the opportunity to check out the new location on Melrose. The first thing I noticed was the visually appealing décor and the vast selection of tempting doughnuts on display in the carousel case. The young man behind the counter was very friendly. I asked for a Raised Glaze for my nephew and a Churro Cheesecake for me. Both were yeast raised and they were thick, fluffy, & chewy. The glaze was sweeter than I expected but better than what you get at a regular ole donut shop. The Churro Cheesecake was coated in cinnamon sugar topped with dollops of creamy cheesecake and a caramel drizzle. There was also some cheesecake filling inside. It was exceptionally yummy! It was very filling, so I saved the rest for the next day. Next time I'm in the area I will try some other flavors because "Good things come in pink boxes."

Personally, I don't like that style, I was hoping the original would change that for me! Long story short, I didn't like the Walnut Chocolate Chip. I personally just don't like that style still, so I'll chalk it up as a "me" problem. The cooked part was good. The Rocky Road was cooked through. It was an amazing baked good with good flavor and add-ins. Between the roasted almond slices and fudgey chocolate chips, I was enjoying it immensely. A highlight of my day for sure.

Based on my memories, this LA location keeps it consistent with a similar taste and texture as the NY location. 3.5/5 Chocolate Chip Walnut: This cookie was tall and slightly undercooked in the middle. The middle was a bit on the squishy side, and crunchy on the outside. Due to the undercooked quality, it's not a cookie I'd get regularly, though I am a big chocolate chip cookie fan. 5/5 Rocky Road: This was delicious. I'm not usually a marshmallow fan, but the addition of this ingredient formed a nice chewy consistency that I expect from a cookie. Chocolatey tidbits were well melted into the cookie texture and produced some fudgey notes. The cookie sizes are large and potentially shareable, and feel like an every once in awhile treat.

The ham is rolled up and in the center of the croissant, so make sure you bite into it lengthwise to get the ham and cheese all together. Fantastically savory!!! Elderflower Rhubarb: Not as sweet as it appears to be!! Delicious--the elderflower notes come through as you chew, and the ratio of jam to bread is generous. Chocolate Hazelnut Pain au Suisse: Tasty, chocolatey, and hazelnut flavors throughout. Feels like a refined Ferrier Rocher wrapped in bread. Definitely needed water alongside this one because it's quite rich! This was a fun spot to try, and the vibes are beautiful, cozy, and quiet on a weekend morning!

Ham and Gruyere Croissant: Fluffy, crispy, airy croissant. Kind of a basic ham and cheese but the croissant makes it a worthy breakfast choice. Iced Honey Latte: Regular iced coffee, nothing special. Would not get a drink again and focus on the yummy pastries which are more worth the price imo. Parking/ ambiance: there is a small shared lot and street parking. There is outdoor seating area which is very cute but quite small. The inside itself is also small with no seating, so plan accordingly when considering to dine there vs take to go. Service: Polite/typical. Was fast for how busy it was. Overall a good breakfast choice, especially considering the variety of pastry options!

I'm just disappointed when they don't have this in stock, but sometimes they would make more, and that'll just be an extra wait. Downside is that I first tried the fish panini years ago and it was a bit better then, but it's still good currently. Other pastries I've tried here have been pretty good. They had some various buns with mochi inside, and those were great. Another one of my fave is their mentaiko salt bun. Great flavor, though I wish they would stuff the thing with more mentaiko. Their curry breads are good too. I took my daughter here and she got one with cute emoji drawn on, and she said the custard filling and the bread was tasty as well. I've tried some drinks here and they were alright. A friend was into their banana matcha when they have that in stock. Pretty simple layout here. Get in line and see the goods, then you reach the cashier and order and pay.

I got a sausage bbang, a chocopie, and a dalgona latte. The sausage bbang was soggy on the bottom and honestly tasted like it was from the day before. The chocopie barely had any filling, just a thin layer of marshmallow and jam. It honestly felt like they used most of the marshmallow for their Dubai choco cookie because it's probably more profitable, instead of properly filling the chocopie. If that's the case, it's better not to sell it at all than serve something like that. The dalgona latte was also disappointing. With ice, the drink only filled to the bottom third line of the cup marking. Clearly, they skimped on the milk. There was also a weird moment when I paid. My total was $15.25 and I paid cash, but I was given $4.75 in change. When I said it should be $5, she seemed confused and asked what I meant. I told her I literally gave you a quarter right now, and she questioned it before eventually giving me the correct change. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake. I understand times are hard, but charging more for products that clearly had corners cut doesn't sit right with me. It just comes across like there's no integrity. Clearly the quality and portions are going downhill. I wasn't even planning on writing this review. I was going to stay quiet, but the chocopie really ticked me off. I'm not going to pay for food that skims on ingredients and shortchanges customers by charging more for less, so this will be my last visit.
