LA Donut Festival

I think this is my favorite donut place. SPECULOOS cookie spread donut is all I can say. You can also make your own donuts and make it your way. Most donuts are vegan and they have gluten free options too. Another thing that’s been added has been ice creams (from scoops ice cream next door to them). Can’t get enough!

It was a fun experience! Quite a few of the donut options included peanuts, so watch out if you have food allergies!

Awesome first event! Tons of great donuts! Some more tables for people to sit inside would have been nice, but was still a fun, enjoyable experience! Can’t wait for next year!

Wonderful time and great organization! Can’t wait to do this again! Spudnuts was the best!

There was so many big donut vendors here! I loved the fact there was finally a festival for my favorite food! Thanks to all the vendors that provided awesomd donuts! Cant wait to see what is in store for next year!!!

Fantastic way to host a fundraiser. Way to really capitalize on donut popularity SA! It really seems like a win win for everyone involved. Everyone was very friendly, the space was great. A very relaxed event.
I take my donuts very seriously. I talk about donuts every day and can point you in the direction of a good one wherever I am. So purchasing the VIP pass was a must. It got me a burger donut, a t-​shirt, espresso bar access and access to a VIP area, not a bad haul. To up the anti next year, maybe in exchange for a canned good, let’s give a voucher to the donut vendor of the VIPs choice, that they decide on after having tasted everything?
There were so many donut vendors there, many I had tried and many I was pleasantly surprised to taste.
My biggest disappointment of the day was according to the Voting, the photo with the most likes, on this very page, would win «Best Donut in LA: people’s Choice» — which is a big deal.
I followed this very closely and watched the two vendors that held the lead and when they awarded the donut, the vendor that won was not in the lead. This really irks me because this could be really good for a business and it should be properly awarded. Maybe I am little too passionate about this, but if you make the rules you gotta follow them. And the donut that won… wasn’t even a donut.
Mad Ave is a really great space. I’ve been here for many events and could see it being used for this again.
–The acoustics are not ideal for music inside, the band should be outside next time.
–A donut vendor should not be allowed to come in without donuts. Offering a free donut if you give your email is sort of lame, especially because it’s clear you’re trying to generate traffic for your new opening in SM (*cough*Sidecar*cough), which you prob don’t need because everyone always tells me to try you guys, but now I don’t know if I want to.
–The event is listed as going until 3, we left at 1 and there were hardly any donuts left. If I had shown up at 1, I would have been pretty upset that vendors were sold out.
–Vendors were super friendly
–Sign in was easy
–Something for everyone
–Happiness and joy all around
It was like Christmas in October.
