Angel Food Donuts

It’s a donut shop. They make donuts. They are also very friendly.

Well, I woke up craving donuts and this place has the irresistible donut signage and a drive thru window!
3 raised glazed [the litmus test of all good donut shops. A classic!] and a cup o’ joe and $ 4.05 later… we were on our way in a jiffy.
The donuts were big, light and fluffy. Somewhat approximating the holy grail of donuts, Krispy Kreme. The poor donuts didn’t last the ride back home.
I support small businesses, so I would definitely return. CASH ONLY.

I’m a sucker for any donut shop with a huge ceramic donut on the roof or out front (think about Randy’s in Inglewood), so while driving on Long Beach Blvd. I decided to stop by to pick up a quick dozen.
Angel Food Donuts isn’t anything spectacular as their donuts can be compared to any other shop nearby. There’s only a couple of tables inside, so I imagine most of their business is take-​out. The parking lot is a bit small, but the drive-​thru option is a huge plus. Order on one side then drive around to pick it up. Simple.
PS. CA$H ONLY!

Decent. I don’t really eat donuts, so I’m sure I’m not the best judge, but I wasn’t wowed by the donut I had. To me, a restaurant either needs to nail a culinary tradition spot-​on, or spin the tradition in a way that elevates it to a new level; this place did neither. Other than that, there’s not much to talk about; it’s a pretty straight forward SoCal hole-​in-​the-​wall donut spot. But price was $.85 & service was quick/friendly…so here’s your 3 stars.

best donuts at 80s prices. love the drive-​thru option.

My boyfriend and I are always on the hunt for the perfect donut shop and this is our #1 spot. After taking on the daunting challeng of eating a ton of donuts, none compare to how they taste here. So many donut shops offer crazy flavors or random toppings and they all come at a higher cost per donut. Well those extra things don’t make the dough of the donut taste good, the donut is just unique. This place makes the perfect donut dough and the prices are so low you feel the need to tip! It’s like they are being overly generous. But I’m not complaining :) I am never disappointed and will always come here when I have my donut craving. Try it, you won’t be mad you did. You’ll probably buy a second donut: D
And they have two drive thrus and a parking lot. The people who run the shop are always smiling and always friendly!
Cash only

Sunday morning I was taking my out of town guest to breakfast at Bake N Broil, but alas, I went to the wrong street *again*, realizing it as I passed this donut shop.
After turning around, my lack of self control grabbed hold of me and I pulled into the parking lot. I mean, how can I pass up a fresh donut, right? My friend wasn’t about to argue with me.
Even though there’s a drive-​thru (how lazy can you be… really), we park, walk in and see the variety of deliciousness in front of us and nearly start drooling! YUM!
Those croissants are really HUGE!
Here’s a great tip for you: don’t go into a donut shop when you’re hungry!
Everything looked SO good but limited myself to two and chose carefully: 1 apple fritter and 1 maple bar. BUT THEN… as the guy was bagging my delicious selections, I see something different on the top shelf under my nose and ask…
«What’s that??»
guy: «A cronut»
me: «A cronut???»
guy: «Yes, a cronut.»
me: «Oh wow! How much are they?»
guy: «$ 3 each»
me: «Wow! Oh screw it, put back the maple bar and put THAT cronut in instead please!!»
After walking out the door with our goodies and snapping a few obligatory photos, we go get breakfast with out so much as even licking any of our purchases.
Much later at home, we open the bags and dig in. The apple fritter looked beautiful and delicious, the dough was lighter and more airy than any other apple fritter I’ve ever had, almost like a raised donut. Also, unlike other apple fritters I’ve had, there was almost no apple in it. OK there were a few pieces, but not many.
It’s then time to try this famed cronut. Umm… ooohh… niiiice… yum! Very different donut wise and very, very good! I got a plain one w/​o any filling and I need try another one soon.
So yes ladies and gentleman… I have FINALLY had my first cronut! WOO HOO!
OVERALL: Good stuff as donuts go, I’ll need to go back… or maybe I should eat more «healthy» and just skip them all together. Naaaaaaaaaaa!!!
BTW: CASH ONLY!

I love their friendly customer service and good donuts. My favorite is the chocolate buttermilk. My son loves the ham and cheese croissant. The drive thru is a breeze!
