Great breakfast sandwiches, donuts and drinks! The iced green tea is what you would expect at a fancy coffee house (even has crushed ice!!!), for half the price. Not sure if the gentleman helping us was the owner but he gave us a free small thai iced tea and couple extra donuts. Very nice gesture! Will be back if travels bring us to Monrovia again. Thank you! *sorry no photos. Ate n drank my share in a split second :) read more

I love the donuts here! I am forever searching for the perfect donut or at least the best donut I can find! The donuts here are delicious. They are light and airy, not too sweet and not at all sour smelling or tasting as soon as they hit your stomach ( I hate when that happens! ) . I always try the sugar twist and maple bar, classics that are easily and often missed. Usually I eat half of each one if they're decent, sometimes I can only take one bite, and sometimes I spit that bite out.. I have a sensitive palate and its a lot more than sweet = Mmmm for me. Yea it gets annoying. I ate BOTH donuts! And I wanted more donuts.. and I wasn't even a little hungry. Thats a big deal! Yup they were THE BEST donuts by far that I have ever tried. I just hope they're the same everyday. We'll be back ! read more

A little gem. The first donut shop I brought me kids to and have started father and the kids donut days. Love their apple fritters but try all the selections. Great service with a smile. read more

I love this place. I got a bunch of donuts, and I just discovered their iced green tea, Thai tea and iced coffee. I am usually very picky about my coffee and Thai tea especially and I normally don't even like the one from Starbucks. The owner was there and was kind enough to let me and my husband try all three drinks. I will be coming here probably evert day. It's that good. Literally the best I have ever had anywhere! read more

On a recent Saturday morning, while out running errands with my two sons, we stopped by Christy's Donuts. The nice man behind the counter, boxed up a half dozen for us. I handed him my ATM card and he said, "We don't accept cards. You can pay me next time..." Ironically, this was the first time we visited Christy's Donuts. How did he know that I would return? This kind gesture of TRUST, left quite an impression. Great customer service too. I've shared this story with many local friends and they all shared similar stories and raved about Christy's Donuts. The following week was my son's bday. He didn't want cake. He asked for bday donuts. Who do you think I called? Christy's Donuts on Foothill! They will always be my number 1 stop for donuts. :) read more

This is my go to place for donuts! Awesome owners that are extrmely hospitable and welcoming. I Pick up my assorted dozen here for the co workers ! Very affordable as well. read more

I love this place ! The man is so nice and always throws in extra doughnuts. You have to get the breakfast croissants here they're so good and big for only 6! read more

I stopped by to get donuts for my students in the morning. I didn't have cash but I thought I would take my chances. Although he couldn't accept a card ,to my amazement he said "oh, just pay me next time". I have never been there before, so I am definitely no regular. This was a gesture of kindness not seen very often. It made my day! I will definitely be returning for future donut needs. read more

Love it!! Donut taste very good. Lucky I found this place. The owner was very friendly. Recommended!!

Okay... we just left a soccer game with four kids in the car. Stopped at The Golden Donut Place first... but it was a sour experience to say the least... (see my review on their page). Okay so back to this place! The elder Asian man had slim pickings on donuts because it was 10 minutes to closing... BUT, after we all chose our favorites, he gave us another six complimentary donuts! Three full size and six donut holes. What a contrast to the Donut Place! He was friendly, charming and totally enjoyed our company and business as we did his company and awesome donuts! Glad we had a negative experience at the first donut shop, otherwise we would t have discovered this gem! Thanks!!! read more

Best doughnuts in town! I've been coming here for years, and I've always found the staff welcoming and helpful. Now they call me by name, and always know exactly what I want. I only go in once a month or so, so I don't really count as a regular. But that's how they treat me! And every time I bring a box of their doughnuts somewhere, they're gone in a flash. Clearly these people know how to make a great, tasty treat. read more

I love Christy's Donuts and we frequently come here on a weekend morning. The donuts are delicious, the owners are so nice, and the prices are great. I especially love their apple fritters and glazed donuts. read more

Fresh donuts on a Saturday around noon! We didn't realize it was cash only and the friendly gentleman told my husband "just pay me next time." We don't go out for donuts often, so my husband went and got some cash to pay. Great tasting and soft (but not overly sweet) maple and chocolate bars and really delicious cinnamon rolls! We will try Christy's again on our next donut run. read more

This is the classic! If you want donuts in Monrovia go no further. This is the favorite hometown shop of all the locals. Whether you're just passing through on your way to work or stopping to read a paper, I would recommend giving this place a chance. Also, if you go there pretty often, the workers will make an effort to remember your life story and your donut taste. Every time my family members go in there and give them my order, they ask about me and how I'm doing at college. They're just really nice people. Cannot recommend this place enough. read more

This is my go to donut shop. They have an excellent variety of donuts in the morning hours but as the day gets older the variety gets more limited. I have never had a bad donut here. They are always fresh, and never too greasy (which is such a pet peeve of mine when eating a donut) $$$ cash only $$$ read more

My sister always brings a dozen from here for my parents whenever she comes to visit and I end up eating most of them myself. The jelly filled ones are generously filled unlike Krispy Kreme where there's hardly anything inside. My favorites are the Boston creme filled ones and their fruit and cream cheese filled croissants. Very moist and not too greasy feeling. read more

Christy's Donuts - Voted reader's choice in the SGV - Donuts Near Me - Monrovia, California

I was an hour early for an appointment and decided to pop in over here. It reminded me a little bit of the Dunkin Donuts shops back in IL. It's not super high tech. It's a seasoned shop. Standard pricing. Sweet employees that won't bother you but are personable if you did want to chat. I walked in to see an elderly gentleman reading his paper. I asked about if the long maple ones had custard as well.. the customer told me he would tell me about all of them but to go with the round chocolate covered ones for custard. It reminded me of days with my grandparents. Not the best shop in the world but one with some heart. read more

Oh my goodness, these donuts are terrible. I ordered three donuts and a ham and cheese breakfast croissant--and I threw them all away. Everything was greasy, tasteless, and a bit stale--except the apple fritter. That was a lot of cinnamon with little icing or apple. What a disappointment! The Yelp reviews were so deceptive. I had high expectations. read more

I don't eat donut... I esp don't like Krispy Kreme... just too sweet for me. All I can taste is the glaze... Jon, n of course the kiddos... luv Krispy Kreme (which I do allow them to from time --- to --- time to get) hehe So lately for some reason, I've been into the chocolate glaze donut from Christy's Donut. Can't remember why Jon bought me one... but ever since then... hmm yumm Kiddos liked the donut holes. I actually like them a lot too! This is the first donut I've ever tasted in such a long long time that is so soft and really taste good... just melts in your mouth + esp with my ginseng coffee... hmm starts my day right off! =D read more

There is nothing fancy about Christy's and though that may come off as a negative it is actually why this place is so charming and why it's my local donut spot of choice. Go there any given morning and you'll find the quintessential parade of donut shop usuals. Families picking up a dozen for home, laundromat patrons looking for a treat and the jovial guy reading the newspaper. Cheap, easy, friendly service. Everything this kind of place needs to be. read more

Stopped by this morning and they were so nice! I hadn't realized they were cash only so they said I could come later to pay, thankfully I found enough cash to pay but it was a nice offer. The doughnuts themselves were delicious! read more

By far best donut place ever, the owners are extremely nice and caring. I went the other day to sadly find out they were really struggling to COVID'19, please go and support, their food is just amazing, they don't have the fame they deserve. If you don't trust my judgment go look for yourself. You won't regret going I can promise you that. read more

Their donuts are sweet but the owners are sweeter! I loved the service and great donuts, will be back soon

Love this place!! Very nice owners and have been going here since I was a kid. They always greet you when you walk in and are happy.

Picked up a dozen donuts for my job and the staff was friendly. My coworkers said they were all great choices plus they all had more than one ;D read more

Been here a couple times for the family. This is your typical local doughnut place. I love supportijg local businesses. Doughnuts were good and well priced, people were really nice here. I'll continue to come back to this place! read more

They have great donuts. very nice shop. The staff are friendly and awesome.

I adore this place. I've been living and working in Monrovia for about 15 years and I would usually go to the AM donut place on Huntington (mostly because I was a night owl for most of my life) and this place just seemed like nothing special from the outside. HOWEVER!!! I finally stopped in after another dense lame donut from AM made me irritated that I wasted the calories on it. I've always felt that yeast donuts are easy to get right and most places taste the same in that area, but what really sets a donut shop apart in my opinion is their cake donuts. When they're average or not great they are always the least favorite in a variety box. When they're done really well I cannot control myself around them. When it comes to sweets I never finish an entire serving of anything. A few bites of a candy bar, maybe half a donut, a few Skittles, then it sits in my snack cupboard until it's so old no one wants to eat it and it gets tossed. This place? Oh sweet chocolate christ, this place. I have never in all my life had such a good cake donut. I have, at least twice in the last three weeks, eaten three of them to myself in one sitting with a nice cold glass of milk. They are so tender and delicate and soft with just this wonderful light crispyness on the outside and not too sweet but sweet enough to make you smile. My favorite has been the chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting and coconut flakes. The yeast donuts are no slouches either. They, almost literally, melt in your mouth. I don't know what kind of black magic crazyness they do in their cooking process, but it is possible they're wizards. On top of them being some of the best donuts I've ever had, the owners are seriously the nicest people and they make it such a warm place considering it isn't much to look at. Hooked for LIFE! read more

Some of the best apple fritters I've ever had . Great balance of donut and apple , nice amount of crispness . The other donuts were great as well . We will definitely go back. read more

The donuts were really good though the selection was slim and had the basics nothing special. The service was was ok, but overall good local donut shop read more

There donuts are made Fresh and always taste great. Great atmosphere and places to eat and have a nice chat!

standard donuts at standard prices. It's right around the corner so I went there after my walk(I know I know). The guy that handled my order was freindly and there was a mini crowd when I went in(3 peeps in a donut shop is a crowd hahaa) but they kept it movin! was craving something sweet this morning and a glaze hit the spot! read more

Always a good go-to donut shop when I need to bring donuts to work! I call the day before tell them how many and what time I will pick and they are ready. Makes a busy morning just that easy! read more

While the donuts are tasty, the selection was minimal. Friendly service, reasonable price. However, a cash only business so not covenient to those who run out for donuts with just the car keys and a debit card. read more

I love the maple bars most of all because it isn't too sweet and it's not too plain either. It's just right! My younger sister loves the soft and moist glaze donut. Yuuummmyyy!!! :) read more

Hi Donut Fans, If your a donut lover then look no further than Christy's. Best croissant Donut in LA! Give it a try if you dare. You just might become a regular. read more

I have been on the lookout for a great neighborhood donut place since the one that I frequent has closed. I have found it! The glazed donut here is light and fluffy, not too sweet. The people working here are so nice and great prices. I will come back again for their no frills, just good old-fashioned donuts. read more

Christy's used to be the best donut place around. For more than twenty years I ate their delicious donut holes. You see, Christy's was one of the few donut stores in the area that still made donut holes with cake batter (the same used to make all of the small round donuts with the hole in the middle, such as plain glazed or pink sprinkles). Cake batter donut holes are like miniature donuts with sprinkles, crumb, and plain glazed varieties. They have recently switched to the presumably cheaper (and cheaper tasting) donut holes that most of the other area donut stores make, which are made with the same dough used to make the light and airy donuts like cinnamon rolls and maple bars. The variety is also gone. You now have the choice of glazed or no donut holes for you. I am sad to have lost a menu item I have been eating for over 20 years. read more
