Best Donuts

It’s national doughnut day and I had to pick up some doughnuts for work. Checked out Unilocal for the closest doughnut shop. Although few reviews, I gave it a shot. Totally good old fashioned doughnuts. The cake ones were perfectly moist and the raised had just come out… nice and warm! Plus the service was great. I’d go back for traditional doughnuts anytime.

I was driving home from work (in redondo) late one night and i was starving. i pulled into an unimpressive strip mall when i spotted a subway… i have a thing for tuna with pickles. anyways, thats the night i discovered this little «hole» in the wall donut shop. i had never had a Boba drink, but these guys offer a Thai Iced Tea Boba. it is excellent. it takes a few minutes to make, and while that doesn’t explicitly mean it will be tasty, in this case it is. that night i brought home a couple boston cremes. delicious. the next time i went back i had a bear claw. but i felt bad for only spending four bucks. that is when i bought a couple muffins and a piece of pound cake… the cake is homemade but looked to be more like corn bread in the display case. im writing this review because those blueberry muffins may be the best i have ever had. there is something different about them that i can’t put my finger on. people should go buy these muffins. the pound cake is yummy too. high quality food at really low prices.

I came in only because I have been craving a ham, cheese, egg, croissant. $ 3.50. LO AND BEHOLD it was just what I had been imagining the first bite would taste like. It had extra bacon, melted cheese, and a flaky buttery croissant hugging it all together. I may be over exaggerating a tiny bit. This place also sell scratchers which I like. A large variety of beverages to choose from. Cash only. CASH ONLY. DO NOT FORGET YOUR CASH.

I personally love this place and the lovely ladies that always help me. I always get their sprinkled cake donuts they’re by far the best that I’ve had and are always soft and doughy.
Also if I get a maple bar they have no problem filling it with custard for me!
It’s always clean and like I stated before customer service is always great. Only downside I suppose would be that they don’t have cronuts but oh well.

Good donuts + a great selection. People are nice and quick too for that early morning stop. Prices ok too. $ 9.95 for a dozen fresh donuts plus dozen donut holes

Sparse selection when I went last night around 8pm. Bought a maple bar and a chocolate bar. The dough of the donuts was actually nice and light. The maple glaze was tasty but really sweet. The chocolate was not typical donut chocolate (think of the hard shell that forms); it looked like it was painted on, a la Yan Yan. It tasted good, like sweet milk chocolate, but it was a bit weird on the donut. I don’t know if I’ll return. Definitely not the best donuts, but points are docked for a name like that.

After 11pm or so each night they start making fresh donuts for the morning. This place is always clean and quality is consistent, highly recommended. It is 24hours and easy access back onto sepulveda. This should be your stop on the way to work.

When I want a donut this where I go. When I come its usually early morning. I order a fresh dozen of regular glaze and glaze twist (my favorites). I love how big/​fluffy the donuts are and not overly sweet. the ladies are always pleasant.

Super cheap and stocked with all the essentials and more. I definitely recommend the apple fritter, it’s the size of a small plate and packed with big pieces of apple laced between cinnamony glazed dough; a bit greasy though. It’s under $ 1.00! Maple bar tasted fresh and was melt in your mouth flaky. Also, get the blended mocha, pairs well with sweets since it’s not too sweet itself. Support your local businesses!

When I crave donuts, this is the place that comes to mind. I LOVE this place. This is a local mom/​pop establishment that is clean, open 24 hours, and the staff are all friendly. Their apple fritter is HUGE and cost under $ 1.00, bear claw almost as big as a real bear paw, croissants are flaky, and everything is made fresh.
They also sell sandwiches, ice cream, lotto tickets, and a cigarettes. This is a one stop shop for those wanting their donut fix, a lotto ticket, and smokes before heading off to work.

The lady that takes your donut order is nice, helpful, courteous and all with a bright smile!

«Huge donuts! Delicious. A little hard to see from the road, in a small strip mall. The owner was friendly and very accommodating. Clean and lots of options.»

Friendly staff, very good food and cheap drinks what more could I ask for. Delicious!

I was in the area when as I stated in my ‘Tip’ for this location, I felt the urge to play my Lottery numbers. I have always loved math and I love trying to beat the system. I began looking at several business door-​fronts for ‘Lottery’ signs, when I observed a strip mall on the corner of Western & Sepulveda. The parking lot for the strip mall had several lottery signs posted. Once I pulled into the parking lot, I observed the Lottery signs were for ‘Best Donuts.’
The location of this Donut shop would not be classified as a nicest neighborhood, at least in my eyes. I was quite weary about what I was walking into especially when you walking into a business that serves food. I was pleasantly surprised to find this business completely spotless. The donut shop even smelled clean.
How often do you go to a donut shop where they have an Ice Cream counter? Not very often but this place was stacked with several options of hard Ice Cream to choose from. This donut shop offered cold drinks, hot drinks, gourmet coffee, lottery scratchers, lottery scanner to check your past tickets, soup in a cup and pretty much every other snack item you might find at your local ⁷⁄₁₁.
The cashier who helped me was extremely pleasant and helpful. When I turned in my lottery ticket the cashier took it upon herself to check what the daily jackpot was currently listed at in their system. The cashier wished me a good day and I was on my way. I pass by this area every now and then and I would definitely come back to this location.
This location is located in a little strip mall and parking is quite limited, so if you came to this spot during the morning rush or lunch rush then you might find yourself waiting for parking.

Open 24 hr. There are fresh donuts when I arrive. So, I love that! The owner is always very accommodating and the donuts are fairly priced. Oh yeah, big buttermilk donuts!

I love Best Donuts, always have. Yes, the location is small, it’s not the greatest of parking situations and sometimes the donuts are a little stale at night. But they’re open 24hrs, have amazing customer service and are always experimenting with new breakfast sandwiches. I’m a big fan of the custard filled, chocolate donuts — those cure my sweet tooth every time I visit. One morning, I turned my husband on to them, who was a die hard fan of a local San Pedro donut shop, he never looked back. He loves the ham and cheese croissants and bear claws. One morning, the owner was telling him to try the cream cheese and jalapeño pastry and he was hooked. Just the other day, they were out of them and she actually offered to make him one on the spot, that’s the special service that entitles this place to their name.

The donuts tasted awesome. We were in the strip mall relatively early in the day, so I think most of the donuts were very fresh.
However, the coffee was pretty terrible (what do you expect for about $ 1) and my stomach was off kilter for much of the day. I think this was due to the cream being room temperature on the counter, though it’s sort of my fault for using the questionable cream to begin with…
Either way, I’d definitely revisit for the donuts! Although I’ll probably get my coffee black next time.

Very good mom & pop shop. Oh yeah, the buttermilk bars are very big and fluffy (almost too fluffy). In fact all their donuts are extra fluffy. I like this place better than others for donuts. They’re also very friendly here.

4.5 i would say.
This donuts shop is another good one. Nice big buttermilk bars, which of course is ALWAYS a plus! The people who work there are also super friendly which is nice, because a lot of doughnut places I have been to lately the people aren’t so friendly, they kind of just look at me like why are you here? Haha but anyways great service here! They are also open 24 hrs which I didn’t know and that is also another major bonus because you know what? Sometimes I want donuts at midnight, and it’s nice to know that I have options when I need my fix. The buttermilk bars are good, the maple and the glazed are the best the chocolate is so-​so. The apple fritters are really good too! So overall a pretty good place!
p. s. Its cash only!

This donut restaurant is like many others in LA, small, out of the way and displaying a sign advertising «boba» drinks.
The donuts here had a particularly good and thin icing on them. Unfortunately the underlying donut was way too firm, not chewy at all and appeared in some ways more like a bad cake donut than a raised donut. This sounds a little like a stale or not fresh donut but I don’t think so in this case, there was no indication that the donuts were stale, the icing seemed fresh and had not liquefied. The inside of the donut was very consistent in texture and tasted fresh, just not at all like a raised donut. I wish the rest of the donut was as good as the icing. Overall, I cannot recommend this place.
