The best donut shop in town ! 10/10 - Reese's peanut butter donut 5/5 - Glaze donut 5/5 - Cookie butter donut 5/5 - Unicorn donut 5/5 - Fruity Pebbles Donut 5/5 -Oreo Cookies and cream 5/5 Great customer service, friendly, welcoming , polite Parking spaces available No restrooms Clean environment, displays of donuts from the outside Many options to see from . Definitely recommended Friends and family I will be back soon for more !
This donut shop was the place I went to whenever I was feeling down and just needed an indulgent treat when I lived in Ktown. I took my family here recently and the donuts were great! We got the PB&J (one of my favorites), Maple, Glazed, and Jelly Filled Donuts and all of them were fluffy, sweet, and great. Also great for sharing. Everything was solid; not the best donuts out there, but still good. They also have drinks available like coffee and Thai Tea. The prices are generally solid here. I like how they're open late, so it's a great place to go when you're craving a sweet treat in the middle of the night. Parking is limited, so street parking is the best. This is more of a grab and go type of spot, but you can always enjoy your donuts right outside the shop.
They have more than donuts You can have drinks, smoothies and plenty of sandwiches Open 24 hours Parking lot is small Security available Items are so fresh and generous too A bit pricy but items are a good size Some donuts are pricey due to the decorations All yummy
Just a midnight crave for doughnuts and found this place. I just ordered matcha strawberry and it did not disappoint. It was delicious and nice packaging. I will be back for other ones.
Been going here since my high school days and it's definitely old reliable. 24 hours?! Can never go wrong lol. Would definitely recommend the pizza croissant and the jalapeño cream cheese croissants. Pair that with a blended mocha Parking might be a little tough depending on when you go, but they're super quick and nice here! I also love the many donuts you can choose from. There's something for everyone!
I've wanted to visit California Donuts for a long time, as I've heard from many friends that they have great donuts, and I finally got the chance to try them. I ordered a half-dozen, which included cookies and cream, Reese's, and marzipan, among other flavors that I don't recall. I preferred the marzipan and Reese's the best, especially the Reese's, which is stuffed with peanut butter. I recommend heating it in the microwave for the best taste. While the donuts didn't completely impress me, I'm glad I tried them. They have many varieties and something for everyone. The donuts are worth 3.5-4 stars. I wouldn't wait in line for them, but I would stop by if I were nearby. They aren't worth a long drive, though.
This place is known for their amazing, signature donuts. Their system is pretty organized and straightforward. You fall in line, someone will attend to you and take your orders then you pay for it at the end of the line. They have so many options and staff are pretty helpful. If you like donuts, especially cute ones, definitely give this place a try. Lastly, just like any other spots in LA, this spot is located in a tiny plaza with very few parking so prepare to look for it off street orrrr just give up and give it another try next time (kidding... not really)!
California Donuts is an ol' reliable in my book. Each time I've gone here I've enjoyed the pizza croissant and their fresh donuts. Their food presentation is so nice and I do think that the flavors described on the donuts delivers - which is really lovely because they have quite a range! Ordering is a little interesting because you talk to the staff through the actual window, but they can hear you perfectly. My only gripes are that the parking situation is super minimal here, but it hasn't been a problem for evening trips. I also noticed that the donut glaze often gets kinds melty by the next day. Not sure what to do about that but they're great fresh.
A beautiful display case. Easy to order. Ton of interesting flavors. Overly sweet for my taste though. The ube flavor was good and the chew of the dough was there. The old-fashioned was crackly also. But need half the frosting. Regardless, a good time on donut day.
Variety. Quality. 24/7 availability. I don't know what more a donut fan could ask for. This place is great and the donuts are delicious. My favorite so far has been the croissant donut (It's called something else) it was amazing! My friend swears by the Peanut Butter & Jelly.
Best variety of donuts...cake,classic, mochi , specialty creations....all reasonably priced! Walk up, order , and take it away to devour ! Located right off 3rd street...easy stop for a sweet treat quick fix. Love coming here!
Been coming here for years, always fresh donuts for being 24hr in impressed!! So many delicious flavors and options to pick from. Also don't sleep on their coffee, it's quit good !!
Pizza Croissant (8.5/10) One of the best pizza croissants I've had. It had just the right amount of cheese, paired with the marinara, and the semisweet croissant all worked so well. It was a flavor bomb in my mouth. This truly hit the spot as a 3 AM snack. Definitely ask them to heat it up for you. There are parking spots out front, and the food is ready relatively quickly. The employees are very kind. Open 24/7. read more
Great donut location open 24 hours smack in the middle of night life ktown. After getting KBBQ or after hitting the club this donut shop boasts many classic and unique kinds of donuts, they're sure to have something you want. Amazing selection of ice blended drinks as well at hot drinks. Good service even when busy. Very sweet so compliment with a chocolate milk or mocha ice blended drink! read more

My coworker kindly brought a box of an assorted dozen to the office and I got to try a few different doughnuts. They had good flavor, but were a little too greasy. I think their heyday has passed... will stick to Sidecar. 3.5 stars. read more

My husband and I were driving by around 8pm when we noticed a line outside this donut shop and decided to stop in since we love trying new places. Even with a few people ahead of us, the wait was only a couple of minutes. It's a walk up window setup where they take your order through a speaker and the donuts on display looked amazing. We ordered a half dozen including the glazed, Boston cream, chocolate twist, Reese's, and Girl Scout Samoa. Honestly, for the time of night, the donuts tasted as if they had just been made. They were incredibly light, fluffy and fresh not dense and cakey like a lot of other donut shops. The only one that didn't hit was the Girl Scout Samoa flavor. It didn't really taste like what we expected, but the donut itself was still delicious. Everything else was fantastic. Our go to donut spot has always been DK's, but I think we may have found our new favorite sweet treat stop. I also love that they're open 24 hours, accept Apple Pay and cards and offer discounts too, $2 off a half dozen and $5 off a full dozen. Definitely recommend checking them out, no matter what time of day it is! read more

So today is national donut day; had no clue. I'm in healthcare so as I got off night shift last night I stopped by to get a donut. I see people waiting for something but I ended up getting 2 donuts and a coffee; this came out to $18 which is pretty expensive. I ended up waiting in the line of folks about 10 people deep and it was SoCal Honda people giving out gift cards for donuts. I was like well man I already paid. So I said cool I'll grab donuts before tonight's shift and come back with the "gift card". I returned just now, and they tell me that the card was only good for earlier when the Honda people were there. And mind you I already asked for 6 donuts to bring to my coworkers and a ham and cheese croissant. This came out to $19.50. Honestly crazy the vast difference in prices for what I bought in the morning vs. at night. I still paid for both transactions. Check out this "gift card" that's MISLEADING as ever. I can't say that I'll ever return to this establishment. Happy Donut Day LMAO... read more

Came back here because I was in the area and didn't regret it for once. Parking and getting in to the plaza is always atrocious so beware. Lots of different donuts in stock but none of my favorites anymore. It's okay though because it gave me a chance to try some basics and this donut shop does basics so well! I got the blueberry cake and it's so unique because they made it in an old fashion mold and it's perfect for this donut because it made so many nice crispy edges and the perfect amount of glaze and the donut was moist too! So now I know to not be disappointed I need to be buying the basic donuts here take notes people you can never go wrong with basics! Their packaging is cute and modern and service was quick and nice. I'll be back now that I finally know what to order. Hope they keep the blueberry cake in their rotation and daily flavor. read more

When I first discovered this place over a decade ago, I didn't think it would be all that. No one went here and it was just a place that served donuts. Then they started making fancier and fancier donuts and became super popular. Before all that happened though, someone told me how they had $2,50 ham, cheese and jalapeño croissants. When I tried my first one, I was blown away, but then was even more amazed at the one with turkey. I couldn't believe my taste buds. Did Asians make a better croissant than the French? How was this even possible? Anyway, I've spent countless times coming back here to get croissants, because they are absolutely phenomenal. I love these more than any other croissants I've tried out here and could recommend these to anyone to try. They're open 24 hours, so time doesn't not discriminate against the desire for a goodie at any time of day. They also make really good cream puffs and donuts too, but I have kind of deprioritized sweets in my life. The ambiance is outdoors, so it is what it is, but the service is great because they'll toast your croissant on the spot for you. I love the croissants here and even though they raised the price to somewhere in between $5.50 to $6.25 (I think it's $6.25 after tax?), I will keep eating them. Just not in as big of a quantity as I used to get, thanks to inflation... read more

Been coming here since my college days, California Donuts never disappoints! My favorite is the strawberry and nut. Fresh, fluffy, and always creative. A must-stop sweet spot in LA. Service is always great and this is the perfect ambiance for a late night snack. It got me through after club nights read more

Donuts were fresh and customer service is excellent....even during late night hours! The best part of CA Donuts is that they are OPEN 24 HOURS, but the worst part is: the parking lot! This donut shop is located in a very small plaza with free parking right in front, but there are only like 12-15 parking spaces that are always full. Although at times the line is long for donuts, sometimes the wait time to get donuts is much shorter than the wait to find a parking spot, either in the lot or on a residential street. read more

LIFE AFFIRMING EXPERIENCE WARNING! THIS California Donuts is amazing. Almost every donut I've had here has been solid, if not better--that's for certain. Selection is always exceptional, ranging from simple cake donuts to cronuts and everything tasty in between. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any choice here. Now to the life-affirming moments... YES, TWO!!! The first was when I got a fresh cronut there. The sweet, decadent, pillowy, heaven-sent deliciousness just melted in my mouth. I almost had to pull over--it was such a sensation shock in the best way. I must have had the dumbest smile on my face from the sheer delight that cronut gave me. None have surpassed that. The second affirming experience was when I went down when their apple fritters JUST came out. THIS IS WORTH DOING. I literally started laughing from ecstasy when I started eating it. I was only going to order one, but that idea died after a bite. I'm not too ashamed that I did that in a moment of weakness, because that donut was magic... but it was gluttonous, in all fairness. Either way, THIS CALIFORNIA DONUTS is a must-try in LA--especially for apple fritter lovers. Just get there early!!!!! read more

This place is amazing. First of all the variety they have is great, they are open 24/7 and the service was great. They are quick to help and give any recommendations. The half dozen was a little over $20 so yes it was expensive but then again these were specialty donuts. I only had three which were the bacon maple bar, the cookies n cream, and the cookies butter. The bacon maple bar was so good, it was light and sweet but also salty from the bacon, and it was just enough to switch up the sweetness of the donut. The cookies n cream was good, the filling was nice and light and they were gracious with it. My only problem with the donut was the topping which tasted a little stale. Lastly the cookie butter was really good, the biscoff cookies were fresh, the icing was light and the donut it's soft was nice a warm read more

I can confidently say that I have never had a fresher doughnut before and I love getting donuts. They had such a wide variety of flavors available and they were all so fresh. I personally ordered the Taro doughnut, the Matcha donut and the classic chocolate doughnut so those three donuts came out to 675. I would say that the Taro donut is definitely on the sweeter side so keep that in mind the matcha donut was like the perfect amount of sweetness. But the bread is phenomenal. It is so glutenous and there are legitimate air pockets within the donut. It's so good. You have to try it. read more

I was in need of a few dozens of donuts for a large gathering of folks late in the evening. Luckily I found this place that was open and nearby. WOW. This place has a wide variety of donuts and pastries. I ordered 2 of almost everything. Apparently I was the only person not aware of California Donuts. When I arrived to the meeting, everyone recognized the box and immediately began picking their favorites. Now I know. Located on the corner with a huge glass window, outside only. Parking is tight but it's open 24 hours. read more
Grew up in K-town and have been coming here for years. They've never lead me wrong. Their donuts are always delicious and fresh. The service is quick and the people behind the window are always friendly. It's in a small strip mall so there's limited parking, but nonetheless, it's cute. All donuts are out on display. They have all sorts from your favorite classics to fancy ones that look like pandas and unicorns, and then they'll have ones that are decorated depending on the season. Love this place. I always recommend! read more

On the hunt for the best ham and cheese croissant and I may have found it! California Donuts is known for their cute and creative donuts they make from pandas to tigers and much more! They even have merch you can purchase. I came by this location early morning for a grab and go meal. It was no line and it appears this location is a walk up and no indoor dining area. The staff were really nice and helpful as they helped me decide on what to choose. The croissant was really fluffy and buttery with the right amount of ham and cheese. It's the best I've had by far. There is limited parking as this location shares a lot with other stores so you may want to park on the street so you're not blocked in. read more

Ask the Community - California Donuts
Do they have Vegan options?
THERE ARE NO VEGAN OPTIONS. I called so you know its legit.
What's the Samoa?
It's like the girl scouts' cookie; caramel & toasted coconut flakes, & chocolate drizzle ! 😋
Does the curfew affect their services or still open 24/7?
You should probably call them to be sure, but my guess is they have to close at 10:00.
What time does California Donuts close today the one located at 3540 W 3rd St Los Angeles, CA 90020…
They are open 24/7!
Does anyone knows the diameter of the donut?
The 🍩 size is the same as a regular
Do they continue to cook donuts throughout the day and sell their popular donuts even after 6 PM?
Yes fresh donuts even at 2am.
Are they able to accommodate a nut allergy?
They make big batches and do not make made-to-order donuts. Would doubt they could guarantee a nut-free experience.
Are they fresh and good if you buy in the afternoon to eat in the morning?
I bought them in the afternoon and ate some immediately, and at night- and I think I had one for the next day! I would say yes, just keep the box closed so the air doesn't make it get stale.
Do they offer vegan donuts?
No they don't. I just visited and asked the the employee confirmed they don't offer any vegan options at all.
