Maple, Glazed, PB&J, Jelly filled
Carlo G.

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.

Donuts are beautiful

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.

FIFA Donuts

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.

Ube dough, glazed old-fashioned
Michelle X.

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.

Iconic packaging
Libby R.

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.

Variety of specialty donuts!
Melissa M.

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!

Outside
Rachel I.

Ask the Community - California Donuts

Are there any gluten free options with the other desserts?

No they don't

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.

Is there vegan options?

But not many.

What time does California Donuts close today the one located at 3540 W 3rd St Los Angeles, CA 90020…

They are open 24/7!

The 🍩 size is the same as a regular

Yes fresh donuts even at 2am.

Do they use lard?

No.

Do they have vegan donuts?

Yes they have

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.

No.

No they don't. I just visited and asked the the employee confirmed they don't offer any vegan options at all.

I usually get their Iced Butterscotch Cream Latte with oat milk. I love that they don't due an upcharge for alt milks. For the dairy-cautious folks out there, this drink is not dairy-free even with alt milk because of the butterscotch cream. I usually go with oat milk because I don't like my drink overly creamy so the cream top plus oat milk is a good balance for me personally. Since I came here with my friends recently, I also tried the Yuzu Sparkling Matcha. To my surprise, you really get that authentic yuzu flavor, not artificial whatsoever. The drinks here are also not too sweet, just the right balance you want, but the flavors make you feel like you're having a little dessert in a cup. The shop itself is very cozy and comfortable. Especially on a hot LA day, it's so nice to be in a cool space sipping on iced drinks. The are a good amount of seats but it does get busy at certain times of day. The staff here are also all super friendly as well. Highly recommend this place to anyone around the area!

I will say it is quite sweet, even at less sweet, and I would stick to the double matcha since I found the regular iced matcha latte (less sweet) to be a little disappointing. The workers are sweet and helpful - the first time I visited, I came just a few minutes before closing, but the worker took her time to explain things to me rather than rushing me. That has left a lasting positive impression on me. The interior is cozy and oftentimes there are people working inside, but I haven't given it a try myself. I can say that it's a nice place to hang around as you're finishing your drink. If you're thinking about giving Dumbstruck a try, I highly recommend it!

Taste is highly subjective but I highly subjectively opine this coffee is mighty tasty. To preface,…read moreI take my coffee and Americano's two ways, hot and black or cold brew and black. Each time I come here, the coffee is exquisitely delicious. I take my coffee to-go so can't review the decor or the other menu items but assuming their black coffee is one of the best cups I've had in LA, I'd say their other drink options are probably top notch. Also, there is also a stylish yet chill crowd chilling both inside and outside the shop partaking in their drinks while chatting or enjoying the weather.

There is outdoor seating and a couple tables indoors too. The storefront itself is pretty small though. I ordered the Yuzu Matcha tonic with less sweetness and it was really good! It's a super refreshing drink, with the green tea and citrus elements coming out on top of the sparkling sweetness. Honestly, one of the best matcha drinks I've had overall! The yuzu bits are incorporated in the drink, adding a light sweet and bitter taste. Service was super friendly and accommodating. Reasonable prices and this café stands out because of its free parking for sure. There are lots of cute shops lining the street that Picnic Coffee is located on, so check those out too! Overall, definitely a recommended place.

It's oh so good and decadent The Cortadito is bold, smooth, and just sweet enough like those you find in Little Havana. Both the dessert and coffee came to about $8.50 which isn't a bad deal at all for their sizes My only minor complaint is the service. There was one customer ahead of me who ordered a lot of pastries. One cashier was getting those items and the cook asked if I wanted "food" or just sweets. When I said just the sweets he said I had to wait. I don't see why he couldn't have just grabbed my items? It was about a 10-15 minute wait with all that going on. Then I asked for a cafe Cubano and sorry but I had no clue what the cashier said and only understood "cortadito" so that's what I was given. When she asked if I wanted for here or to go, I asked for here and she packed my items to go. I'm not sure if it's a language barrier or listening issue so I'm glad it was a major thing to inconvenience my experience
