Artesia Donut House

Best chocolate donuts and apple fritters. I was a regular there until they closed. Wish I knew where they moved to so I could get my sugar fix.

Excellent Donuts !!
Andy where did you go ?
Now it’s closed
:(
ANDY, WHERE ARE YOU ???

My girlfriend is moving and I’m sad because she lives right next to this place and everytime I would come down from the Bay Area I eat at this place for breakfast every morning. The cronuts (Nutella, and whipped cream) is the one (even though it’s 3 days old/​I brought it back up and ate it 3 days later haha) but I would have to say the best thing they have here is the breakfast sandwiches. I always get a egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich on an onion bagel. It’s sooooooo good and fresh. It’s weird because they are open at the most random times. Like 1 am 4am and throughout the day haha. I’m going to miss the owner and his wife. Thanks for the great breakfasts and happiness you have given me ha.

I try not to go here very often, but my kids are crazy about donuts and the location and parking lot make it SO easy… Too bad donuts aren’t health food!
The donuts are delicious. My favorite is the jelly filled donuts. My kids always seem to pick whatever sprinkle color looks most appealing to them. The owners are super friendly and my kids are so excited to get a free donut hole or two. Who am I kidding… I love the freebies too.
The interior is super dated and feels worn & dirty, but the donuts behind the case are fresh & delicious. We are regulars!

When first moving to Redondo Beach from the other side of LA county, we lived around the corner from this place. It became our first sentimental favorite in town because the donuts never fail and the owners throw in a few donut holes with every order — they’re like glitter and make my day!
My usual order is a Ham/​Cheese croissant (heated) with an Extra Large coffee. My kids always enjoy looking into the glass display to figure out what they want. We’ve had chocolate croissants, spicy ham/​cheese croissants (has jalapenos), french cruellers (only place I’ve found so far that has them), fritters, croinuts and bacon maple bars! Heaven! The only down side is sometimes they’ll run out of what you want, but that is the universe giving me license to go with something chocolate and gooey then! :)
Even though we’ve moved a bit farther from the store, it’s still (almost) on my drop-​off route for my daughter’s school so we still visit frequently. When I couldn’t drive due to my surgery, you bet we had the über driver drop us off there and it was fun to actually stay and eat in the restaurant! I’ll support these family-​run businesses anytime over the big corporate ones. Also, I’ve tried other family-​run donut shops on Artesia and in the area and this is the best.
One day I’ll work up the courage to start a conversation with the poet I’ve seen having his breakfast and reading his paper almost every day that I go there!
Take cash or just use their convenient ATM!
Our Three-​thumb review gave it 3 thumbs up. My son loves that they carry Sunny D (way cooler than just OJ). My daughter drools for chocolate croissants and I will accept their ham and cheese croissant as a bribe! And, can’t say it enough, donut holes! Seriously the best part!
#ThreeThumbReviews

Stale donuts and rude service. I know there was a language barrier, but the cashier was snappy, rude, and acted annoyed by our presence. They advertised cronuts and had signs all over the place for them, but they were all sold out (take the signs down!) Donuts are usually pretty much the same quality wherever you go, but these were stale and of poor quality. I had two bites of my chocolate bar before giving up on it. They don’t take credit cards, either. The second star is just because they offer ice cream.

The donuts are alright, maybe a four star place but the way my reviews are set up, they are based upon the whole experience and not just one thing. First off waited for about five min before the lady that was sitting in the back reading decided to get up and come attend me (–1 star) then they lost another star automatically because they don’t accept credit cards.
Overall I’ll come back though.

I have been living in Redondo beach for about three or four years now and this is the normal dessert desert ah however it’s spelled place. I go here with my friends/​family a lot.
The interior is very cozy, the owners are nice and the donuts are cheap! What else could you ask for.
Every time I go here I get a chocolate bar because it is hands down my favorite donut. Another close contender is the delicious bear claws which fill my body with joy (sugar) happiness (more sugar) and a happy soul (and finally some apples too).
If you’re around this area stop by and get a donut. I would recommend this spot to people who are
need of love
need of donuts
3.bored
4. Not bored
5. Hungry (or not)
Or for someone who appreciates the taste of a fresh delicious snack :)

Family owned business, always great service and selection. Only place I know of that has CRONUTS in the South Bay.

Growing up I have learned to appreciate and cherish the community value of the comfort and grandeur that is the local donut shop.
It was a rainy summer Wednesday when I was reminded of how special a place like this can be. I woke up early before heading to clinic and something inside of me told me I needed to have a donut today (this happens quite often). I headed over to the Artesia Donut House, chatted with the owners about my family and finishing school, and got my chocolate glazed donut and medium coffee. As I was capping my coffee cup, a little boy who must have been about 10 years old walks in with red chuck taylors and a football with «MIKE» written across it in big black sharpie. I smile at him and he says «I like your shoes. My mom would really like them too.» I smile again saying thank you and think about how freaking cute this kid is. Then right before I head out he tells me, «I’ve been getting donuts from here ever since I was little and eating real foods!» The owners look at him then look at me and I say, «No way! Me too! This place is the best!» He nods at me then runs off down the street. For the rest of the day all I could think about was the image of red skipping across wet sidewalk, and I couldn’t help but smile again.

Donuts are usually fresh. A dozen runs $ 6.50 or $ 7 depending on who helps you.
Cash only.

Solid donuts in the south bay.
After talking about donuts with my carpool buddies on the way back from school, I had to stop to get my fix. My usual fixes include 2 donuts that includes a maple bar and a classic glazed. However, when I walked in here, I was overwhelmed. First thing I noticed was the cinnamon crumb donut. I’m a sucker for crumb donuts. So now it looked like I was going to be getting 3 donuts. I quickly reconciled that mental game. As I told the lady in the back which 3 I wanted, she threw in a 4^th glazed twist donut.
Now listen… any place that throws in an extra donut for free deserves to stay in business. You can’t argue with a free donut. A donut cuts straight through my heart.
When it comes to quality, I would say this place gets a B-​ish. It wasn’t warm and fresh, but I don’t necessarily expect it to be (However, I was spoiled by DK donuts in Santa Monica, which always seems to have fresh donuts). The donuts are good, has a nice fluffy factor that determines my likeness. I would say in the grand scheme of the donut sphere, this probably falls in the average range, but the free donut and cheap donuts makes it pretty good. Only $.65 a donut!!! I haven’t seen a place charge $.65 a donut in a long time, so it was great to see them sticking to the cheap roots donuts came from.
This place will probably be where I frequent if I need a donut when I’m in the south bay.

Went in there for a simple breakfast Mother’s Day morning. The donuts were average, the cappuccino, bad. My husbands tasted like it had cinnamon in his and mine was very over sweet. My husband was hoping for a sandwich with sausage but they don’t have sausage so he ended up driving to McDonald’s to get what he wanted after my son and I ate. The whole atmosphere was kinda grungy and thrown together in there. And the people behind the counter just barely did their job, no friendly smiles etc. The only upside is that due to the fact that they are cash only they do have an ATM in there lobby.

I just left from there and I immediately had to write a review .
That thing they call a donut hole had the texture of a steak.

Best place for donuts in the middle of the night! The guy comes in at 11, 1130ish to make the donuts fresh, and they’re OPEN while he’s making them!
I highly recommend the french cruiler. Way bomb!

The only reason I don’t give this place 5 stars is because I know that donuts are not good for my health. I have lived around the corner from this place and never gone in. And now that I have, I don’t know if I can stop myself from coming here! My kids keep asking me to go back. Their glazed donuts and sugar donuts are yummy. Both the twisties and the regular. The donut holes are really good! Get at least half a dozen :) Prices are great and the staff is wonderful. Lots of parking too, and newspapers dispensers outside if that’s your thing!

I’ve been frequenting this place for the past five years, tried every single donut variety available here, and have never been disappointed. My favorite is the crumb cake donut, I have to get one every single time. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and they always give my kids a handful of donut holes when I bring them with me.
In short, if you love donuts chances are you will love Artesia Donut House.

By far the best donuts in the south bay!!! A definite must try

As you can tell from my reviews… I like donuts. And this place has some delicious donuts.
I can sit here and talk about all the donuts that I have tried from this place. But I’m not. I’m just going to tell you if its something you want. Then just get it! Cause I have never had a bad experience here. BUT, I’m sure some of you are asking which is my favorite? So i’ll answer it for you. The glaze donut is my favorite. I swear they must put crack in it or something cause I just keep coming back for more!
Can’t complain about the service. Always friendly!
I’ll be back for sure! Gotta get my fix!

5 stars for a donut joint? Yea. That’s right.
Mom & Pop shops like this are the best. This stuff is OG.
Every donut is a testament to the amount of quality and care that has gone into perfecting its recipe. I used to come here when I was a kid, and even after so many years, its still the place I find myself comparing other donuts to. The ratings on here do not do this place justice. Don’t be fooled by the low review count either. This place has somewhat of a local following. You’re here for the donuts and donuts is exactly where they deliver. They’re as legit as they come.
The donuts themselves are very well made. They’re soft, airy, and are not too sweet. The oil is kept in check and the donut actually feels very light.
Notables:
— Glazed donuts (a MUST)
— Glazed twists
— Chocolate bars
— Ham & cheese croissant
The coffee is brewed fresh DAILY. It’s cheap, quick, and hits the spot.
The absolute dealbreaker is the price. Go crazy, buy everything you want. This place is just bursting with value and I’d gladly pay twice what they’re charging.
I make it a point to pass by this gem everytime I’m in the area and bring BOXES of it back home!
.Oh and don’t be surprised if you run into a few celebrities here either ;)
