I remember thinking that just because a place was on the Food Network did not necessarily mean it was good. As it turned out, I was glad we stopped by because the donuts were excellent. I am not going to claim that they have the best donuts in Los Angeles, but they are very good, and the staff is always friendly.

I love Donut Friend!!! Their Cannoli Donut is my (and my…read morefamily's) favorite donut ever. I was in the area and called ahead to see if they had any I could pre-order, but found out that the Cannoli Donut was a seasonal option and they didn't have the ingredients to make any. Donut Friend, if you're reading this, please bring the Cannoli Donut back! The helpful staff member speaking with me on the phone let me know about the Danish Donut which has a cream cheese filling which is what she thought would be most similar to the mascarpone filling. It was delicious, but Cannoli is still my favorite. I wasn't a fan of the Strawberry Mochi Donut- not sure why because I love strawberries and the texture of mochi & glutinous rice flour. Samoa & Cinnamon Toast were tasty! Thanks Donut Friend!!

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.

Ice cream options too!

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.

It's very inviting and I was curious what these donuts tasted like. The sweet potato donut was my favorite. It wasn't too sweet and had a great sweet potato filling. My second favorite was the cookies and cream, which features a great cookies and cream filling inside. I also tried the chocolatella, which had a mousse-like filling and was just okay. The last one I tried was the s'mores and it was my least favorite because it had no filling and tasted pretty mediocre.

Absolutely amazing experience at the Western location! From the moment we walked in, the cashier was warm, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. The owner even came over to greet us personally, which made us feel so valued and appreciated. My kids absolutely loved the fresh orange juice--it was delicious and tasted like it was freshly squeezed! I was also thrilled to find that they offer non-dairy creamer, which is hard to find and made my coffee even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was clean, friendly, and inviting. It's clear they care about both their customers and the quality of their products. We had such a wonderful experience that we'll definitely be coming back with our family. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great service and fresh, high-quality drinks! read more
