The service is amazing and all the employees are always so quick with their service! The entire place feels comfy and the quality of the donuts and every single food item they put out is AMAZING! I love coming here so much, I'm currently in the midst of trying every single smoothie out... P.S. they are SOOOOO GOOOOOD... my belly is getting bigger... read more

Parking sucked, that was a busy little lot. Walking in, the establishment was dingy. I still proceeded to get 1 glazed twist and 1 sprinkle donut. I had the sprinkle, it was actually pretty freaking good. My friend had the glazed twists, she said she really enjoyed it. The place wasn't a looker, but the donuts were pretty tasty. read more

Favorite place near my house and all of Carson. I'm biased I know. But seriously donuts , ham and cheese croissants are delicious. Plus I prefer to support local businesses over chains anytime. read more

I introduced my boyfriend to this local donut shop, and it has become our favorite late night place to go/early morning before work. Love their blueberry donuts but was told one random Sunday I went they do not make them on Sundays because not enough people buy them on Sundays. Okay, I understand. Fast forward to today, April 3rd, came at 3am with my boyfriend, which happened to be on a Friday. Boyfriend started with "Can I get a cookies and cream drink?" Older man immediately refused to do a blended drink. Another person came in behind asking to get a frappé style drink as well for his wife whom he was getting off the phone with. He told both them I don't do them on Fridays , "too much work", massaging his shoulders. Attempting to get us to order hot coffee, which we did not come in for. We also asked him for another bag to separate our donuts, as we usually pick up for some neighbors and this man, he ignored my boyfriend. It's just so crazy to refuse business that would generate more money for your business. Other man left pissed off. We would have understood if they were busy and told us we had to wait to get our one blended drink. But, he just rudely ignored our orders, threw in the donuts in a bag. But at this time, again, almost 3AM... there were only us, two groups of people, who both wanted blended drinks. Was such an unpleasant visit this time around. Side note, we have gotten blended drinks all previous visits. The lovely older lady served us and made our drink. I hope we just caught him on a bad Friday. But, he did say he did not do blended drinks on Fridays. 2 stars. 1 for the awful service, today. 1 for the blueberry donuts and cream filled. Will try again on another Friday. read more

Reasonably priced and delicious. The apple fritter was crispy on the edges and fluffy in the middle. The ham and cheese croissants had a good ratio of filling. read more

Wish I had taken pics of any of the times I been to lol but it is a local donut shop by me It's your typical small business ma and pa type of joint I prefer these because you get best bang for buck but also you get donuts that don't disappear in your mouth like cotton candy like Krispy or that are weird like dunkin Places gets a lot of business and it's a good place to get my donut craving read more

Busy place with busier parking lot--across from Starbuck's. Donuts light and airy. Not too sweet (as a matter of fact, I wanted more icing on my twist). read more

Alex Donut Shop - Twist - Donuts Near Me - Carson, California

This was a recommendation of Yelp. I wanted to find the best donuts in the South Bay and this was one of them. We drove down to the plaza and didn't exactly see it. It's all the way in the corner next to Wilmington Blvd. The donuts are the best I've had from a small business store. They were light and airy and most importantly, delicious. I'm glad that it worked out for me and my family and look forward to my next visit. We ordered two sugar and glazed, three different sprinkles, old fashions, some chocolate and others. Definitely give this place a try. The workers are very nice they have a lot of other goodies to enjoy. read more

Been coming to this donut shop for years. I love their iced coffee (hazelnut to be specific). Tried everything from their donuts to their croissants. It doesn't disappoint. Sometimes the small shops like this are better than the bigger more known coffee / donut shops. This donut / coffee shop is one of them for sure. Customer service is great as well. read more

Ham, cheese, and jalapeño croissant with my french vanilla cappuccino hits the spot in the morning. Wayyy cheaper than the foos across the lot. Always courteous asking "You wan wormup?" and "daaaank youuu" on your way out read more

First of all I have been coming to this donut shop for over a year, I have tried donuts, croissants, and ice coffees. By far the best donuts in the SouthBay: 1. They do not get hard after a day, they stay fresh for a couple of days. 2. It's open by 3am! 3. The ice coffees from here are amazing and affordable definitely beats Starbucks. The service is here is great, a typical mom and pop shop small business. Which I love to support, I promise this place is amazing. Now walking in do not judge the place, because it does need a little facelift but, the donuts are amazing they're fresh, moist and tasty. read more

Friendly service. Fresh and delicious donuts. Open very early in the morning. Affordable. read more

Came here on a Tuesday morning and they had a really good selection of donuts. I'm not big on donuts but I'm pregnant and had a craving. They had my favorite donut which is the chocolate with peanuts on top. I was impressed with their donuts and so were my coworkers. Treated my coworkers and we were all happy. They also have muffins that look good so I'll try them next time I stop by. Good service and prices. As soon as I was paying the donut shop got suddenly full....lots of people and it seemed like frequent visitors stopped by for some yummy donuts. Nice local stop. read more

Was hesitant to even come by here even though its close to us, boy was I mistaken! Donuts all looked really good and fresh! Ordered for my kids and wifey who all asked me to pick up some after work(worked nightshift). Donuts looked good and tasted even better. Also, the workers were really nice too. Def plan to come by again read more

Always enjoy getting donuts from this shop. I was really surprised with the filled donuts. I had the Bavarian cream and raspberry filled donut and they weren't overly sweet. I am used to filled donuts being too sweet, but not those. read more

I've visited just about most of the local donut shops in the city and by far this is the best of them all. Donuts are flavorful and just what you would expect out of a donut. Fluffy and sweet. I was first skeptical of the shop, a place like this couldn't possibly serve delicious donuts. Well, I was wrong. I also think their coffee taste great and fairly priced. read more

I came in at 2:40 in the morning to get some donuts as I was waiting for the guy to come from the back I seen a roach crawling inside where they hold the donuts read more

Always fresh and delicious! Customer service with a smile In addition to the doughnuts, would highly recommend their breakfast croissants...especially ham and cheese! You won't be disappointed! read more

Alex Donut Shop - Donuts Near Me - Carson, California

Small, unassuming, with nothing distinctive except for a simple DONUTS in yellow atop the storefront. Don't let the basic appearance fool you--these may be the best donuts in Carson. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. They don't have displays busting at the seams with donuts, but they do have a wonderful variety available. (I'm assuming they make fresh batches throughout the day, which is why stock is never overflowing.) When I'm in here people always seem to be dropping by for coffee. A dozen is $7.99, which isn't bad at all. In past experiences when I've ordered a dozen, they always throw some in for free. How nice! They accept credit cards but charge an additional $0.50 for purchases under $10. My favorite is their soft, buttery, fluffy blueberry donut. They also have some donuts that look straight out of a cartoon with a bright, thick fruity glaze. The orange was quite tasty. Their classic offerings are exactly what you imagine they should taste like. Check them out! read more

Mom and Pop operation that offers a great tasting pistachio muffin, red velvet donut, and blueberry cake donut. Small, independent places like these are a dying breed. One must continue to support them to keep them alive and thriving. And, it's easy to do when they offer such tasty treats! read more

What a great place for donuts! We got a dozen for $11. If you mix in twists, it's only $11.50. Really can't beat that. The owner Alex is patient and cheery. All donuts are fresh and there is a wide assortment. I will be back to support this small business. read more

Best donut shop in the city. Quality donuts. Family business with a friendly staff. Iced hazelnut coffee is one of our favorites. Try an old fashioned glazed or chocolate. Trust the quality! A1 read more

While I had my car in for service at Carson Toyota, I found more than two dozen of Alex's Donuts in the Customer Lounge. Very nice appealing variety, including two of my favorites. Almost had the maple bar, but I settled on one of the largest glazed buttermilk donuts that I've ever had! That was at 7:30 a.m. and I'm still full at 10:00! read more

Decoration is minimal, but who really looks at that when you're just grabbing food to go. I opted to go to this shop, instead of ordering my croissant breakfast from the starbucks in the same lot because of the reviews for this place. I was greeted upon entering and 3 people were ready to help the morning crowd. They were efficient. I ordered the bacon, egg, ham croissant and loved how it wasn't greasy and the bread tasted nice. Only issue was the egg wasn't distributed evenly but enjoyed that it was real egg. I don't know what type of cheese they use, it was white, but it was subtle and enhanced the sandwhich. It was large so I just finished it this morning, 3 days later and after a few seconds in the microwave still just as delicious. I feel like that says a lot about quality. Will come here again if I am ever in the area again. Have to try those pretty drinks. read more

Came here early morning and super fresh delicious classic donuts for a more than reasonable price. The owner was sweet and threw in a free glazed donut for buying a dozen. read more

My job requires me to speak to large groups of people so I'm buying a dozen donuts every couple of days and I haven't written a review or any donut shop until now. I bought a dozen back to back days. The first day everyone ate them all and raved about them. The next day they left 2 so I got to try one and man oh man these donuts are fantastic. I picked them up at 10 and ate it at 2 and it was still outrageously delicious. Highly recommend read more

I was just at the Starbucks Drive-Thru when I saw that this small donut shop was open (during the current stay at home order)! I got a bear claw and sugar twist for my mother and I. We both thought they were delicious!! The bear claw was so big I couldn't even finish it. The man, who I assume is the owner, is very nice! I would definitely recommend coming here and supporting your local businesses. I will for sure be coming back! read more

I wanted to get donuts for work so Googled and found Alex Donut Shop. Drove over there, small place right on the street across from Starbucks. Walked in and was immediately greeted by a very friendly girl. Told her I wanted a dozen for work and started picking. She was very fast, efficient and spoke English well! I'm impressed. Prices are good and they gave me an extra donut too. I will be back. read more

Old school, basic donut shop with decent coffee. I swing by here in the mornings some times to pick up a box for a meeting or for my work crew. Everything is fresh, and I don't see the poorly executed craze of the month (looking at you bad rip-off cronuts). read more

Their donuts have been a childhood favorite. My only concern is that they were not wearing a mask and was coughing while serving the donuts. They should be following safe guidelines due to COVID-19. read more

The place makes the best donuts around, and in return is pretty much always busy. The customer service is always fast and friendly! I always get my donut with a smile! read more

Love coming here for the ham and cheese croissant ($2.75)!!!! They warm it up for you and it is just perfect. And it's huge so it'll keep you happy and full till lunch. Also tried their sugar donuts. Delicious! Nothing crazy stand outs about it but it's a soft, sweet donut. I'm not complaining. A little Something special: They offer regular, chocolate, and strawberry milk! That extra star is for service! The guy that works here is so sweet. Probably even sweeter than the donuts they sell here! Anyways will be back! read more

Came by this morning donut shop is closed on Sunday's till further notice. Was hoping to try to get donuts and coffee this morning.

Alex Donut Shop - We love Alex Donut Shop. Sweet family and sweeet treats :). - Donuts Near Me - Carson, California

I've been patronizing this business since I moved around the corner almost 13yrs now and I have yet to be disappointed. The quality and taste of their donuts is always on point, the service is quick and efficient and while I didn't always appreciate their hours (because I always want donuts at 6/7pm) I do appreciate them being open in the early hours (like 2am) after nights out partying lol. Highly recommend this establishment as a great tasting donut shop with prices that are not overpriced. read more

Have not been here for a while but I LOOOOOOVE THEIR DONUTS! I wish they stayed open till at least 6 so I could get them after work! I learned of this Donut shop because the dealership where i WOULD GET SERVICED HAD SUUUUPER TASTY DONUTS IN THE LOBBY. So I had to ask where they got them from! After learning of the shop I went after work had a broken heart they were closed and came back in the morning!! YAHOOOO!!! I cannot remember if the service was good or not but the donuts where great!! read more

This donut shop not only has great donuts, but it also had amazing service. I had a Father Daughter Dance last nite and pre-ordered, through Alex personally, 12 dozen donuts. Not only were they ready in time and looked great, but they also accommodated the special requests I asked for as well. I would definitely recommend this donut shop if you are looking for fresh donuts with a great reputation for pleasing their customers. read more

This place has the best donuts in the whole wide WORLD!!! I literally live 2 cities over and I still pass up about 7 donut shops to come to this one. The staff are very friendly, the prices are very reasonable, the donuts are to die for, and they always stay true to the odd fashion baker's dozen rule (13) ;-) SO FREAKING AMAZING!!! Not only do the serve donuts but also Coffee, Bagels, Croissants, and much more tasty treats!!! I'm salivating just thinking about it. I think I'll go and get some now!!! -Miguel. S read more
