Kettle Glazed Doughnuts

On my way back to North Hollywood from a lunch in downtown with my friend, we decided to stop by to grab some doughnuts. Looking their good ratings on Unilocal,I was curious on how good their doughnuts are. I bought half a dozen of doughnuts; my favorite is S’mores. I just love how moist it is and very creamy. The rest was just «okay». I ordered vanilla bean, blueberry cream, cruffin and chocolate long. I was expecting a lot actually. I also read that they serve good coffee too. Maybe, I’ll give them a chance later on but will less likely change my mind. We’ll see…

I LOVE KETTLE GLAZED!!!
I found myself at Hollywood and vine today and had some time to kill. I thought, I’d love to walk up to Kettle Glazed and get one of those amazing donuts. But then there’s that new Dunkin donuts and I kinda wanted to see about the hype. So I checked em out. The reason I’m writing this review is to say I’m sorry Kettle Glazed. I will never abandon you again. The Boston cream filled donut at Dunkin was sub par and dry. The croissant donut at Dunkin was a sad heavy chewy glob without any of the flaky melt in your mouth deliciousness I have come to expect from my love, Kettle Glazed. I will never go back to Dunkin. It just wasn’t good. And when I go to Kettle Glazed I ALWAYS leave happy. The Kettle Glazed Cronut is offfff the chain amazing. Flaky and complex with cinnamon sugar and chocolate drizzle and perfect filling. It always rocks my world. The Cruffin… So good! The plain glaze are simply perfect. They even sometimes have a blueberry fritter, which I prefer way more than apple and can’t find anywhere in LA (one of my faves from back in Missouri growing up). So Kettle Glazed is always a home run. The service is friendly and helpful for guys like me who can’t decide and want everything. I probably shouldn’t say this but a few times late at night I got a free extra donut or 2 cause they were about to close! It’s that kinda stuff that makes you feel special and keep coming back. I love to support local business and this is a good one! Forget about that sad corporate cookie cutter donut chain down the street. This is the real deal. It’s only a short walk and the extra calories burned means you can eat an extra donut right?! They also have excellent coffee from The Coffee Bean! My one dream is that someone who was trying to find a place for a good donut reads this and skips Dunkin and goes to Kettle Glazed. I will never make that mistake again and I hope to change someone else’s mediocre donut experience into a GLAZE of Glory! My friends live nearby and we love to blazed and glazed! O_​o
Find your wayz to Kettle Glazed!
Donuts from the Kettle win the gold medal!
My heart is ablaze for Kettle Glazed!
Oh just go ok?!

I am so proud that my neighborhood is graced by such a legendary donut establishment. The cronuts are amazing, and the maple bacon bar is to die for. The confectionaries are light, fluffy and luxurious, and very good value based on the quality of donuts you are getting.
Do not be put off by the nondescript strip mall that this store is located in — the interior is hip and clean, and the service is top notch. Parking can be a little tricky, but you can park on the side streets a block away and just walk.

We called at 8:00pm and asked for lemon blueberry old fashions. When we got there, the donuts were already boxed and ready for pick up! Not only were the donuts ready but the boxes also included cute pictures of a lemon and blueberries! William and Andy are the best and very talented artists! Donuts were great too :)

These are the best donuts around. I’ve been coming here for a while now and I really have a serious problem and I will have to work out at the gym overtime if this keeps up. The bacon donuts are the best, but I also like the vanilla blueberry and lemon blueberry. The owner is the best and helped me out catering to my work several times now. If you happen to come here looking for a traditional donut, I suggest you take yourself to Dunkin cause you basic ;).

Mmmmm… Doughnuts. Said Homer Simpson and I repeated it yesterday as I bit into the classic chocolate glazed confection.
That is all. What else do you really need to know? Yum!

Parking is doable but crowded. I love that these donuts aren’t oily and too sweet like most places. Powder sugar and cinnamon donut holes are excellent. Blueberry lemon glaze is awesome. Chocolate sprinkle is classic and sweet. The raspberry filling (usually my favorite) was WAY too sweet for me. Overall it’s a great place.

I was at an event where they were serving Kettle Glazed apple fritters. I loved ‘em so I wanted to check out their establishment and check out their donut happenings.
First of all. The parking lot is really crowded and it’s not easy to find a place to park. Forget about street parking, there isn’t any to be found. I got super lucky and found the last spot.
It’s really small. If you want to eat inside, there three or four small tables for two next to a window. There were a couple open tables though, so I could have donut dined inside if I wanted to.
The donuts are premium priced. Regular donuts are $ 1.25, Apple fritters and other specialized donuts are $ 1.75 and up. They are smaller that donuts you get at most other places, but they are well made. They even have gluten free donuts for $ 2.
I had a blueberry vanilla donut and a buttermilk donut. Both not bad, but the oil seemed a little stale.
I’d say the donuts were good, but not premium-​price good. The apple fritter is dang good, though. I wish it were a little bigger for the price.

Came here on our donut crawl. We had the fluffer nutter and the apple fritter. They were good, but not amazing. Cute shop tho.

The shopping center seems pretty seedy but these doughnuts are worth the risk, be it real or perceived.
Privacy breeds creativity, and the Cruffin’ is both creative and great! Maybe I would start eating breakfast of dense, croissant-​dough muffin were am option.
Omg cronuts. Can’t go wrong with pastry-​cream-​chocolate-​drizzle.
Even when not quite creative, Kettle Glazed is just plain delicious. The S’mores donut is a sweet campfire kumbaya.
I like donuts but I can’t say I’ve ever loved them… Until I went to Kettle Glazed. Man, these donuts are good.

Legit best donut place ever.
The donuts were soft and moist and so freaking good.
And they gave me a free one because why not? They’re just awesome like that.
Yep — my favorite donut place.

Seriously our favorite donut place in LA! It’s super cute and tiny and the donuts are SUBLIME. Try the raspberry lemon glaze. Heaven! They have a small little parking lot, but it is free! Nom nom nom.

fdsjlfhdsfjdsflkasdjfdsfsdf. Sorry, I had so much drool on my keyboard thinking about the donuts I just had at this place, my computer went crazy for a bit.
We are on our annual holiday in the USA, and on our last day always do a tour de food, jamming all the yummy american icon foods we can into our already overstuffed christmas guts.
We had the lemon raspberry jam donut, the apple fritter, and the apple fritter was, well it was just OMG. We also had the simple glazed old fashioned. Nothing let us down. We came, we saw, we drooled, we left borderline diabetics, but it was worth it.

MMMMM… still thinking about this place. First, stellar service. Nice guy at the counter directed me to the freshest, hot-​out-​of-​the-​oven item, then their signature item, and a classic. Perfect trifecta. In the middle of our convo, he told me he was worried one of his regulars hadn’t arrived yet. A 97 or 94 or something year old man who walks over every day. Well he came while we were chatting and he rushed to open the door for him. Priceless!
Anyway, on to the donuts. Maple old fashioned. Skip it. The croissant cobblestone maybe called a cruffin, still warm. Must have! Sweet, slight cinnamon, butter, sweet, salty, fat butter, tender dough. Magic! Cinnamon sugar coated, pastry cream filled cronut. Burned in my memory as the first thing I’ve ever had where I gave a damn about pastry cream. The guy said some people complain about the price tag of 3.75 $ and maybe if you’re 97 year old Alfred, coming in everyday, you don’t get the cronut. But if you’re anyone else not getting Satrbucks or donuts daily, you’re getting that cronut.
Go here. Skip the coffee. Talk to the nice counter guy. Get anything with croissant dough involved. Easy!

So amazing!!! The donuts are just as good as they look! Don’t fall into the hype of the fun cereal donuts the other places have!

Best donuts I’ve had in a long time! The raspberry donuts were the bomb! Everything here was fresh and parking was easy. If you’re looking for yummy donuts come here!

My coworker brought a couple boxes of donuts into the office for the holidays and it totally made my day. I’m normally not much of a sweets person, but I tried the chocolate sprinkled donut — YUM! The donut tasted fresh and was perfectly soft and doughy. Although I didn’t pay for the donut this time around, $ 1.25 seems very reasonable for a delicious, fresh donut. There were still a couple leftover the next day (dunno how that happened) and according to my coworker, they didn’t taste stale at all.

One of the best glazed doughnuts in LA. They put like a hint of vanilla in there that just sets the whole joint off. They also have the biggest Apple Fritter you’ve ever seen and this Smores doughnut that is pretty hyphy. I normally don’t like super extravagant toppings and things on my doughnuts, but the Smores doughnut is something you gotta check out. With the low prices too, I love coming to here for a doughnut fix on my way to work.
There’s also a parking lot so extra win.

recently, i’ve been getting schooled on donuts
thanks to my eating partner who literally lives for them
and in the taxonomy of donuts
i’ve learned that there are yeast (or raised), cake, old fashioned,
glazed, cruller, twist, jelly, fritters, even potato donuts
but vegan?
not regularly found in a donut line-​up
so when we dropped by to check out kettle glazed
we were disappointed to find that they were almost closing
and therefore only had vegan donuts left (cinnamon sugar and glazed)
my eating partner literally recoiled in horror and disgust
and if wasn’t for the guy behind the counter who so confidently
shoved two free donuts into our hands and told us to just «give it a go»
we would have just walked right out of there
our eyes widened the moment we took bites into our donuts
light and fluffy yet moist and deliciously not-​vegan tasting
if their vegan donuts are this good, can’t imagine how good their regular ones are
will be back to try

I didn’t want to drive all the way to Highland Park to get my normal donuts. It was Friday night, traffic was bad, but I wanted donuts. A quick Unilocal search brought me here, and I didn’t need much convincing. The donuts looked great, the reviews were great, and they weren’t far from my house.
It did not disappoint. I ate 3 donuts in one sitting. Yes. 3.
And I want more, right. Now.
Someone want to bring me donuts?!

Oh my gosh. Okay Kettle Glazed is heaven. I have been wanting to stop by for quite some time now. But, told myself that I would only come if my cravings for donuts were that serious. Which, it got there. The outside of the store doesn’t look that appealing, BUT when you walk inside. It is so clean and organized, probably one of the nicest donut shops I’ve been to. I love blueberry everything and anything. SO my initial reason for coming was for the blueberry old fashion donuts. I love old fashion donuts, but I always stumble across the regular vanilla ones at other donut shops. This stood out to me. I’m not a huge fan of bacon, so since they didn’t have the bacon blueberry old fashion. It was okay.
I ended up picking up:
Maple Blueberry Donut– haven’t tried it yet. But I’m pretty sure it’ll be good
Lemon Blueberry Donut– So good, but the lemon glaze could’ve been a little stronger and there.
Vanilla Blueberry– Like any blueberry combined with an old fashion donut
Cronut– I’ve had a cronut back in san francisco because that’s where it originated and since you know. from sf, so it was a must. This one was a new twist and to be honest, it is quite good too! Just not with the crazy fillings.
Cinnamon twist– this one I was expecting to have more of a cinnamon flavoring inside, it was quite light. I mean I prefer mine to have A LOT of cinnamon, but for someone who likes a bit. This would do well.
Lastly, the flutter nutter– Oh wow. I did not know that i would be consuming a donut that literally tastes like a nutter butter cookie. Ugh. This one is so good. Quite sticky on the inside.
Overall, I love this place. I’m not too far of a drive away, so this may be a horrible addiction soon to come. The employee helping me was super nice too! Great service, clean, organized, simple and a lot of varieties. This will definitely be my favorite go to place for donuts!

Yum, yum, yum!!! Give me some!
The Hubbie and I decided to grub on some donuts when we were in the area and I was pregnant. (This was a few months ago, I’m a little behind!) Totally used the pregnancy to justify putting down some extra donuts and it was worth it!
I can’t remember everything we tried, but here were my faves. Loved their version of the Cronut, this is definitely worth a try and I would absolutely order again. The Boston Crème was AMAZING!!! Homemade custard? Yes please! I’ve always loved Boston Cremes but this place takes it to a whole new level! The Smores donut was good, but not a must-​have for me. I also had a lemon filled donut that was very good, again the lemon was a homemade custard of awesomeness!
The owner was super nice and even threw in a few extras for us to enjoy! (The perks of going later in the day!) I can’t wait to come back and see what else they are cooking up!

As far as donuts go, Kettle Glazed Donuts are ok. The shop is simple, clean, and well stocked. We tried the maple bacon donut and the smores donuts. Both were good. I prefer the maple bacon donut ($ 2) because I like the contrast of salty, sweet, soft, and crunchy. My husband liked the smores ($ 1.75) because he loves chocolate, marshmallows, and a sweeter donut.
Service was friendly and I liked that they were cool about me changing my selection when the maple bacon donuts came out. People must really like them because the shop was full of folks eating and buying boxes of donuts.
This is a good, solid place to get donuts. I wasn’t exactly wow-​ed by the selection and probably wouldn’t go out of my way to get donuts here. But the craving hits and I’m nearby, I’d try them again.

I placed a phone order to have my donuts ready exactly by 6:20 am and they were.
The went over my order two times and showed me each doughnut to ensure order accuracy. Everything was perfect as usual.
I love their presentation, customer service, and store font. I wish they were in a better location though. Time to open some chains!!!
Awesome, awesome experience all around and the first time I went, they hooked me up with a couple of free donuts. Such positive vibes all around!!!
Highly recommend!

Sure, I’ll have a donut or two, or a dozen!
There’s two types of donuts in my world: regular & gourmet. These are definitely not your pink box corner donuts so therefore, they are gourmet! The lemon or vanilla glazed blueberry donuts are a hit here. So are their Smores cronuts and the nutter butter donut which is a fluffy whole donut with a nutter butter dollop on top. Now, I’m not a huge fan of donuts. I’m the type to just eat them if they’re there and don’t care for them if they’re not. Usually, donuts get old and stale in my home then they end up in the trash eventually. But not these, I actually ate the leftover donuts the next morning! Their donuts are so tasty!
I had the pleasure to meet the owner, Sammy who was very polite and helped us with our order. He even gave me a tip on the easiest/​fastest way to get on the 101 North freeway! He’s so awesome. Currently, I am finding myself thinking about kettle glazed donuts often. I will head to this cute, modern donut shop real soon! Parking might be a bit of a challenge but isn’t that the case everywhere in LA?!

Mannnnn I was so happy to find that this place was walking distance from my dinner spot since I had a chance to check off another bookmark, but ended up getting overly sad when I came too close to closing time and was left with choosing from only about 6 donut options.
I got to try their cinnamon cronut ($ 3.75)and vanilla bean glazed regular donut ($ 1.25). Both were very basic choices and yet, they were simple and hit the spot. I’m a bit biased as I’m a huge donut and sweet person so it’d be really difficult for someone to mess up a donut for me. Nonetheless, they were good sized portions and my friend who had various cronuts before said that this was a solid cronut in his opinion. I had no opinion since this was my very first cronut (cherry popped woo!) but I will definitely be back to try their more popular options-​so for now, I’m keeping this bookmarked still.
P. S. We also asked if they had more donut options in the back and the staff said no, but I saw that there were definitely more just sitting there. I don’t know if they were preparing that for a large cater order or if they were trying to get rid of their daily availabilities but this will forever be in the back of my mind as well. :o
