What an interesting place to stumble into thanks to a random search in yelp. Wanted a non-commercial donut place and this is definitely it with so much more. It looks like a convenient store standing alone right off the 405 El Segundo exit. A bit dingy looking from outside with its on parking. Once inside it's packed with all kinds of food - donuts, croissants, sandwiches, chips, smoothies, coffee, juices etc. etc. - it's a bit overwhelming. They could definitely improve their interior, it could stand to at least be more orderly. The person behind the counter was warm, friendly and patient. The more I wandered the more I liked it. All in all, I think I'd love to go back and try their juices and other stuff because the dozen donuts we bought were very good and fluffy the way I like them and those who like cakes donuts liked their version too. I really enjoyed their ham and cheese croissant. read more

Christy's Donuts - Doughnut variety - Donuts Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I've stopped by Christy's a few times now (2-3 visits so far), and it's always a consistent experience: fresh donuts and great coffee . My go-to order is the old-fashioned with white icing paired with an iced vanilla latte, and it never disappoints. The donuts are always freshly made in the morning, and the coffee is smooth and flavorful. What really impressed me is the value -- a 24oz iced coffee is only $6, which is incredible considering most places charge that for just a 12oz drink! Beyond donuts and coffee, they have so many snack options -- every type of chips you can imagine, a fridge stocked with energy drinks, juices, Gatorade, and more. They also make freshly squeezed orange juice which tastes amazing, plus hot and ready croissants and sandwiches for when you need something more filling. One thing I do wish is that they had a little more variety in donut options. They've really nailed the basics/classics, but it would be fun to see some new flavors or unique styles here and there . The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I love stopping by here when I'm on the go. Great customer service + delicious food + unbeatable prices = highly recommend read more

Neighborhood Gem Alert! My brother came to visit from out of town and stayed around the corner from Christy's Donuts. One morning, he asked if I had ever been, and I said no completely unaware that this was the donut spot I pass every single day coming off the jammed 405 freeway. I always thought it was closed since I rarely saw cars out front, so I never paid much attention. Well, my brother started raving about this place how soft the donuts are, how they make fresh-squeezed orange juice with no sugar added, and even green juice. He talked about the iced coffee and said their croissant sandwiches are top tier. He stopped in almost every morning during his stay, and that piqued my curiosity. So, one day, I went on my own little food adventure to Christy's Here's what I ordered for me, mom and my daughter: -Two vanilla iced coffees -One fresh orange juice -One glazed donut -One sprinkle donut for my daughter -A croissant sandwich with bacon, egg, cheese, avocado, and jalapeño -And for my mom, a Thai iced tea (she's picky and only gets it from one Thai restaurant she loves so this was a test!) We all sat around the table at home to try everything, and let me tell you it was a hit across the board. The croissant sandwich? Chef's kiss. Flaky, buttery croissant with perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, melty cheese, creamy avocado, and just the right kick from the jalapeños. Every bite was balanced no one flavor overpowering the other. The vanilla iced coffee was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. You can probably request a stronger coffee flavor if that's your thing. The orange juice tasted like it came straight from the grove fresh, perfectly sweet and no added sugar. My mom loved her Thai iced tea, which says a lot because she rarely finds one that meets her standard. And those donuts? Now I get what my brother meant. They're soft, not dry or doughy like some places. Just perfect. Service: The vibe here is so warm and welcoming. When I mentioned my brother had been coming in, they immediately knew who I was talking about! The staff is super friendly and genuinely kind. I've even stopped by on another day and saw how sweet they were to the kids coming in after school talking to them like family. That kind of kindness stands out. They also offer chips, drinks, and quick snacks great for students since there's a school nearby. It's definitely a neighborhood spot that deserves more love. So next time you're getting off the freeway near El Segundo and craving a donut, iced coffee, or fresh juice don't just drive by like I used to. Stop in and support a local gem. Christy's might just become your go-to, too. read more

I ordered the pastrami sandwich and the overall taste was OK. People are friendly but as an old commercial say where the beef as you can see in the picture for sandwich that was almost $12 I got bread lettuce, tomato, onion, and jalapeño very very little pastrami, I thought for a little donut and sandwich shop at that price. There would be a little more. The service was pretty fast and it is a very small business on the inside very hot. I was just very disappointed. read more

Christy's Donuts - Pastrami sandwich should be more called a vegetable sandwich. You can see the meat in it. Very disappointing for $12 would not recommend. - Donuts Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Been coming here since I was a little kid and there's absolutely nothing bad I can say about this place :) The staff are always so nice and friendly! Jalapeño ham and cheese croissants are my go to whenever I go and it hits every time! They have a pretty good amount of choices as well as some sandwich and drink options too. Its in a plaza with a lot of different food options, but I've always loved getting to support this small business :) read more

I was very disappointed today, because I am a regular customer here and winning today to purchase chocolate donuts, which we're out from the display. However, I did see they had some in the back, and when I asked the female attendant, she told me no no, what is here in the front is all I have. I'm sure those that were in the back in a tray full of them were not to put in the trash. She could have a lease say something nicer about why she would not give out those rather than pretending like she didn't have them, when I could clearly see them. read more

Excellent service and yummy donuts! A great family shop. Highly recommend! Donuts are very good. read more

I've been coming here for years, they have new owners and it's nice and growing everyday

Started this post and noticed it was saved, in January 2023, Great donuts, coffee and breakfast sandwiches, everything fresh. Although they ran out of donuts before 9:00am. But, since, this was over a year ago. They probably are making more like before, now, the Covid 19 shut down, probably demand low then and need to ramp up again. Although, I suspect they have some in the back reserve, they hold for special customers and orders. read more

Their donuts are perfection--light, fluffy, and never greasy like so many others out there. The plain glazed donuts are a standout for me, with just the right amount of sweetness and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Honestly, they're the best I've ever had and set the standard for what a donut should be! read more

Good fast service. Jalapeño ham crescent is my favorite item. They even had vietnamese coffee.

I was shocked to pay $19 for a dozen donuts on Sunday! I use to love coming here, didn't realize their pricing changed so much! Im still in shock! read more

The first two days we stopped in, they were sold out. WHAT!!!??? Well technically they had one doughnut the first day and were basically closed, so they just gave it to my friend for free! Really cool gesture! Showed up the next day, sold out again! Showed up the third day, I got everyone out of bed earlier for a doughnut run and told them we can get ready later after we get back. Jackpot, a full selection of doughnuts. Got a cronut, apple fritter, and buttermilk. The buttermilk wasn't as good as I hoped, but the cronut and fritter were decadent! Everything was well priced (see my pic) and we were able to get doughnuts on our last day. We were staying nearby at the courtyard marriott and yelp review and curiosity helped steer us here. Stop by if you are in the neighborhood and if it is before 10:30 am. read more

Great place to get fresh donuts. I came around 6am and there were five people in line. It does get busy and I'm sure it's because of the delicious donuts. I ordered two dozen donuts and the employees were very friendly. Service was also very quick. You can see the employees refilling all the donuts as soon as they're gone. I also like the fact that this donut shop takes AMEX, thumbs up! I brought the donuts to work for the employees and everyone loved them. Christy's donuts are way better than the Randy donuts nearby our workplace. Highly recommend this donut shop! read more

Randy and his wife are very nice and friendly. I came for some doughnuts. Picked a good dozen from the huge selection they have. A couple of orange glazed. Some blueberry cake doughnuts. The huge apple fritters and bear claws. The scrumptious old fashioned glazed and some plain cake doughnuts. The team enjoyed the doughnuts. They were light and not greasy. Will definitely be back to purchase doughnuts here when I am in this area. read more

This review provided "not enough detail" for you in an update? Haha, it's a tiny donut shop, how much detail do you need? Previously removed update: "I meant to check in here this morning and I did but the notification wasn't turned on. I was gonna offer donuts, muffins and regular coffee to everyone. Happy New Year!" Here, let me add more detail for you. Located on El Segundo Blvd, less than a block east of the 405 freeway. It's a small building sitting by itself at the end of a shared parking lot. Inside is also small but most people order and take out. The employees are friendly and early in the morning the donuts are fresh. The donuts are also reasonably priced and tasty. The coffee is hot smooth and decent. This is a good donut shop to get in get your order and get back out in no time. Oh let me also say they have a nice variety of donuts available. Parking is tight so beware those door dings. read more

Great place, friendly staff, family owned. They always run out of the really good donuts early.

This has been my go to spot since high school (let's not go there)...Lol. The doughnuts are great and there ham, cheese croissants are the best. The croissant isn't just sliced and a piece of ham and cheese just thrown in there,...the ham and cheese is baked inside the croissant....they have them with jalapeño also....Great family owned business....same people since high school (let's not go there) read more

I am such a big fan of their French cruler donuts!!! They are my favorite! We also like the blueberry cake which not everyone make anymore! They even have a bacon and maple donut. Great little mom & pop place! read more

I randomly stopped by this place this morning to bring some breakfast back for my wife and kids- we are staying with my mom down the street for a few days. The donuts are fantastic, and I could not believe the price - only $15 for a dozen! In a time when fancy donut shops are overpriced, this place is a gem. I highly recommend the old fashioned glazed - perfect balance of cake, density, and glaze. read more

I do not know what happened to this shop their croissant quality has gone way down, like Costco quality but at 2.50 each , I feel cheated. Either the baker changed or the baker lost his/her touch because the quality went kaput. Croissants were flat and bready. Stay away. read more

Love this place as I like supporting local businesses as Christy's has been around for 30 years... it is family owned and operated! If you are craving a donut, croissant, bagel, or other pastries then this is the spot. Located right off the 405 and El Segundo Blvd, Christy's has a very convenient location with easy access getting off and on the 405. They have great prices and good service. I came here and got two of the most popular items the bacon maple donut and the ham, cheese, & jalapeño croissant. Both were beyond awesome and they will heat up the croissant so the ham and cheese will melt into the freshly made croissant. Five Stars as the owner was beyond friendly with excellent service, clean atmosphere, and delicious food. I highly recommend stopping here! read more

I wish i could give this place more than 5 stars! They have THE BEST donuts ever!! This spot is a gem, it's been around for years and i am so happy their business has been doing so well! They are the friendliest people, always welcoming you when you walk through the doors! The donuts are hands down the best around,but you need to get there early if you want a variety to pick from! However if they don't have what you are looking for just be adventurous and try something else, i promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Hey have you ever seen a Bear Claw with Nails on them? Well this place has them. I love Bear Claws and when ever I go into a new place that's what I look for. This bear Claw had bear nails. The claw had a slightly overbearing cinnamon taste in the filling. Mind you it was still good. read more

Best doughnuts ever. I have been going there for 40 years and it is hands down the best. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

One of, if not the best donut shops in the area. But my review will be on their even tastier jalapeño cheese croissants. The first time I tried one of these bad boys was a couple years ago. I've been hooked ever since. They will even microwave them a little for you if you are so inclined. Trust me, have them do that. If the jalapeño is too much for you, they have a regular ham and cheese croissant. But given the opportunity why live life on the safe side. Go wild! The jalapeño ham and cheese croissants are excellent. Lastly, their service has always been excellent. Very polite and warm. Definitely a must go to spot. read more

Donuts for breakfast,donuts for break time, donuts for any time. it's on the way to work. I stopped by early in the in the morning to pickup some donuts, they are yummines in a pink box. It's a mom and pop establishment, the owners are friendly and happy to serve, inside it's clean and bit larger than most donuts shops I'm been to . They have an assortment of freshly baked sugary, yummy treats,. Like Bear Claws, Croissants, Fancy donuts, old fashion donuts, bagels and breakfast sandwiches. The stand out are the Chocolate Bar topped with a crispy bacon. Let's just say it's double danger! Whatever you fancy you bet you can find it here, as for drinks they have freshly brew coffee or refrigerated drinks such as energy drinks. The times that I have been there They have a good share of regulars getting their sugary donuts treats before work Let's just say the owner sees a regular come in and he reaches for a donuts place it the bag the regular leaves the amount of money on the counter. Like non verbal communication. Their service it off the charts, the owner remembers the customers and donuts they usually get and he responds with quick service and that is something we all Love. Good customer service along with great tasting donuts. For those reasons I will definitely stop by again They do accept ATM cards, Credit cards and cash read more

Local mom & pop type of donut shop and their donuts are FLUFFY!! They have a variety of interesting donuts and they sell out fast! come in around 6-8am because after that they have nothing left.

Christy's is my wife's and my favorite donut shop. My personal favorite is their apple fritter. My wife is super basic and likes their traditional donuts like their maple bars and old fashions. I'm glad that we can support this small ma and pop shop. They do get busy and their supply doesn't last.... You really do have to be there by 9am for a decent selection. read more

amazing. delicious. perfect. so so yummy. i had a jelly donut , ham and cheese croissant , and a coffee only for $8 and im so full , but i would 100% go back for seconds bc it's that good. don't skip out on this place , u won't regret it read more

I came here around 9am on a Wednesday morning looking to get some cronuts and Christys pop up. This was one of the places that makes cronuts in the area and I was itching for them. when I entered the shop my nose was instantly met with the smell of something burned but I didn't think twice about it because they had some donuts and cronuts out on display. Why would they put out burnt donuts? Why? Yes why, because I ordered 3 cronuts and all 3 tasted burned. I don't think if the actual donut was burned or if it was the oil the they used but it was not pleasant. On top of the burned tased they were also very crispy, like burnt toast. If you go here be wary of the smell. If it smells burnt then walk right back out. Hopefully the next time I go will be much more pleasant read more
