Donut King in Culver City is the best. There are other places called Donut King and I have no idea whether it is the same owner or company. I just know there are a lot. But this one is great. Located in a small strip mall, parking is easy and free. The donuts are always fresh and they have a great selection. They also have sandwiches and breakfast type things that you will love. Their coffee is great and there is not a bad donut in the place. We have eaten there, in the car and often take home a dozen. They have a great coconut smoothie that you will love. It is not sickening sweet, it is great. The place is just so clean and comfortable. The prices are fair and you should try one of their sandwiches. What a great lunch on a budget. The service is super nice. You will really like this place. read more

What a great find! If you're looking for a donut spot in Culver City, head on over to Donut King! Pre-ordered 3 dozen assorted donuts the day before for pickup and considering this was our first time, we were pleasantly surprised by the service. The donuts were ready on time and we paid when we arrived. One dozen for $15.99 and they even threw in some donut holes. The donuts were light, fluffy and not overly sweet. Yummy! Thanks, Christine! read more

Donut King - Assorted dozen - Bakeries Near Me - Culver City, California

I like this mom & pop shop. They have a good variety of donuts and super affordable too! I usually come here for their breakfast bagels. I like to order onion bagel, with eggs, bacon, and cheese. Super simple, but super tasty! I don't know what kind of cheese they use, but it's definitely a favorite of mine. The bagel comes with hot peppers and they recently started including pickled carrots. The owners are super nice as well! They get busy in the morning since their coffee is also good, but the line moves along. It's definitely a must try if you haven't. read more

The doughnuts were great. There was a line which is always a good sign. And they threw in free doughnut holes for my teenager. They were so nice. read more

These are the BEST DONUTS in LA! Amazing price and really friendly people working there. My family and I went here for several years of my childhood in the early 2000s. Just revisited last month and then today and it's still SO DANG GOOD . Also had one of the best bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwiches from here, it's perfectly toasted and has a little bit of jalapeño in it if you ask for it, for $6. read more

Donut King - Half dozen donuts - SO GOOD! - Bakeries Near Me - Culver City, California

First time at Donut King on 1/6/24 and it won't be our last! The awesome reviews are deserving of this place. Yelper's got this one right! We were greeted with a nice welcome when my daughter and I walked in. This nice lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful. We started pointing at the delicious donuts for our dozen and a half order. The donuts looked fresh and delicious. It is a small place with a couple of tables for those who want to enjoy their donut and coffee onsite. The box of donuts were beautifully packaged. So glad we found this gem. We brought the donuts to my son's basketball game and everyone enjoyed every piece. They are located on Sepulveda and Washington Blvd next to a Thai restaurant. Parking available in the plaza and on the street as well. They close early so make sure to check Yelp for hours before driving over. They also have lotto tickets and scratchers for those who like to play. Next time, i'd like to try their boba drinks. read more

Pro tip: cash only! Located in a small strip mall with lots of parking. Such a nice local donut shop in Culver City! The owner (or whoever was working there at the time) was super nice and friendly. The shop has one booth to sit in but otherwise there's not much seating. The donuts were fluffy and delicious and I requested a ham, cheese, jalapeno croissant which tasted delicious and came warm and heated. I didn't get a chance to eat their donut holes because I came too late in the day but I want to - I had their original glazed and it was fluffy and had a lot of icing but not overfrosted. The donuts are also pretty inexpensive (~$7 for croissant + donut). Definitely would stop by again if I was craving for donuts or if I wanted to pick up a box of donuts for the office or friends! read more

I used to love this place until they refused to accept the cash I tried to give them because it was "too dirty" and that the bank wouldn't accept it. It's cash. Perhaps they should accept debit cards? There are other donut shops in town. I will go elsewhere. Rude people! The young woman who took my order was very kind but the owners can go duck themselves. read more

Storefront isn't much, just donuts, but isn't that all you need? Donut King (on Sepulveda, note that there are others, but this is the best) is easily, the best pink box donut shop in West LA and possibly all of LA. I would also take a donut from here over any of the other "artisan" donut shops in LA. The donuts are quite large. Typically, I'd get a glazed twist, but recently discovered how great their bars are, maple or chocolate, both are divine. The cake donuts have that great crisp exterior and moist interior. The sprinkled, cinnamon crumb, and chocolate/chocolate cake donuts are all top notch renditions. The apple fritters are huge, crispy/crunchy with a bit of apple filling and nice hint of cinnamon. The cinnamon rolls are made more in the raised and glazed donut style, as opposed to the denser, chewier, and gooier cream cheese frosted versions you would get elsewhere. The old fashioned and buttermilk donuts are nice, but that's the only donut I'd take from somewhere else, at Primo's a mile away. Staff is friendly and efficient. Donuts are a good value. I'm so glad my partner introduced me to the king of all donuts, Donut King. read more

Great family business! Always consistently terrific! Freshly baked every morning. Great price, tasty donuts.

Great place for morning pick me up. Felt bad because there was a language and noisy sound barrier so they got my order wrong. Asked for oat milk ice coffee, got hot regular milk coffee and I couldn't drink it. She remade it twice. I felt bad because that was their time and energy but I appreciate that they cared that I spent my money well. I appreciate this place. Deserves 10 stars for that attentive care. read more

Taste, Service, atmosphere, overall great!!! Highly recommended! I definitely need to get some more again.

We love Donut King. I am not sure if this is part of a franchise or just has the same name as other places. Regardless, it is great. The donuts are always fresh and the coffee is hot (very hot, beware). My grandson picked this donut shop on our way to a play. He is very picky about his donuts. He loved it. They have a great selection, their prices are great and parking is easy. It is located right off the 405 freeway on the east side of the street on Sepulveda near Venice Blvd. The service is fast and super nice. They also have a huge selection of drinks and some other items. This is so much better than some big chain. Go there. Cash only. read more

By my second visit they had my order memorized. This isn't your typical chain like "Yum Yum," which I'm not knocking, but this is by far the best quality and pricing combination. Their latte's are delicious. The vanilla sprinkled donuts are superb. Love it. read more

Best donuts in Culver City? Really? Hmm that got my attention haha as I got an instant message to try out these donuts. Honestly I wasn't sure what to expect. I don't eat donuts too often. I always thought all donuts were the same (with the exception of some cool blueberry donuts my cousins got at M&M- see my review of that place ;) ). I was pleasantly surprised when I tried a glazed donut from Donut King. It was so soft and was just like what Isabella L. said in her review, "unbelievable." This is truly a yummy delectable breakfast treat :). I was impressed with how fluffy the donut was. It was so light and fresh and had just the right of crisp at the edges of the donut. I even gave one to my mom, which she ate the next morning and it was still nice and soft. Amazing! :). Donuts that still are soft and fluffy the next day...are a winner :). The description that I got on my instant messanger that morning from a friend to try out these donuts because they are the best was not a joke. These donuts do not disappoint. read more

Still love this place! Consistent quality and pricing!Their breakfast sandwiches are such a bargain! So many regulars, which is a great sign. I haven't had a bad donut, they're all amazing and I've tried a lot of them :). read more

Donut King!!!! They're the best hole in the wall (pun intended) you can find. If you get a chance to stop by I strongly suggest getting their egg, cheese and jalapeño croissant... you won't regret it, it come with 3 complimentary donut holes that are a perfect breakfast dessert to pair with the croissant. Thank you Donut King for your amazing service and flavor! read more

Do you want a classic glaze or cake donut or cinnamon bun-donut with like 90s vibes? They never disappoint been coming here for years . Prices went up but still reasonable because they were always inexpensive. read more

I tried this place the other day and my family loved it. It's a classic spot with classic prices. It's not the fancy $4 donuts which makes no sense to me. I like my donut simple, classic and affordable. Total gem. read more

Small spot but some good donuts, nothing fancy but just plain tasty. Also got some lottery tickets here so depending on how things go I may significantly up my review heh. read more

Yummy sandwiches and coffee frappe for a reasonable price. Great staff and environment

[Review #260] 2018 Yelp 100 Challenge (25/100) My son had a hankering for donuts earlier during the week & the donut shops that I'm a regular patron of are either out of the way or they close early. After a quick Yelp search, Donut King was actually en route home. With the name like that, their donuts have to be great, right? Since it's a late weekday afternoon, traffic was pretty bad so I was glad to make it pit stop for some goodies. There's only a handful of parking spaces & that afternoon a huge delivery truck blocked off the path to additional spaces so I parked right in front of the shop. Not good. :-| Someone came out from the back & I said I needed my order quick because I'm parked right by your entrance (possibly the fire lane) so I can't linger. It was near closing time so the options were limited but I still got some of my favs: strawberry frosted cruller, chocolate covered custard filled donut, crumb cinnamon roll, apple fritter (it was ginormous, taking up almost half the box), & fruity pebbles chocolate frosted cake donut. I was hangry because I ate an early but small lunch so I ate the cruller while I drove. Considering the time of day, I was pretty surprised that it was still moist/flaky-ish; it rivals some of my preferred donut shops. We split the rest as dessert after dinner. Of my choices, I thought the crumb cinnamon roll was the standout... topped with fresh crumbs, glazed perfectly so it's not overly sweet, cinnamon sprinkled throughout a moist & fluffy rolled donut. The apple fritter that was bigger than my hand had great flavor & lots of tender apples, but the edges were too hard/crunchy as if it was charred... by cutting away the edges, it became a normal size (slightly more than half its original size) apple fritter that was delicious. My husband liked his custard donut; however, the custard was bland, but the chocolate frosting added some needed flavor & sweetness. The fruity pebbles cake donut was the most disappointing. My daughter said it was dry & not very cake-like, & the fruity pebbles were stale, old tasting. She's usually forgiving about desserts & sweets... I'm guessing from our recent foodie outings, she's becoming more finicky about food. Donut King is cash only, but their donuts are pretty cheap. A box of dozen donuts is the best bang for your buck. I'm definitely a fan, but I'm going to be selective to get their best products: Crumb Cinnamon Roll & Crullers. read more

The donut is fresh and fluffy. I came in around 10 am on a Monday 3/28 and the display was well stocked. There was two guys in front of me. They were buying a dozen donuts but short on some change. The guy said it was ok and let them have it. I thought that was nice of the man at the register to do. As I had only bought one donut, the nice man threw in some extra FREE donut holes with my donut. That was nice. I like when donut shops do that. Thus forth it gives me more incentive to come back for great, polite, and attentive service. My donut was fresh, fluffy, and tasty. Not stale. I liked the variety of options. read more

Great little donut shop! Stopped by quickly this morning to swoop up a dozen donuts. Although there was a line outside, it moved quickly and efficiently. The shop is clean and organized and the workers were very helpful! They threw in roughly 10 glazed donut holes as well, which was a nice little surprise! read more

Decent donuts. Torn between a 3 or 4. And the donuts even though it was noon time tasted fresh and not stale. Good variety. Cash only. ATM inside. Cheap, with about a $1 per donut. A dozen is a better value. read more

Donuts are so soft and tasty! Sandwiches are good too and great bang for your buck. They always come with donut holes :)

Such pretty donuts! I needed a donut shop that was inexpensive but still delicious. I came into Doniut King and was surprised by how lovely all the donuts looked and so much variety. I got a dozen donuts for around $11 and some change for an assortment of glazed, rainbow sprinkle, fruity pebbles and chocolate donuts. They were packaged in a lovely box and secured. They take debit card but I believe there was a fee so if you have the cash you can save a little money. All in all it was a lovely experience with even lovelier customer service. read more

Much like Game of Thrones, there appear to be several places calling themselves King these days. I finally checked out this tiny donut vendor and it probably isn't the true Donut King ... maybe more of a Lord or Ser, but definitely not a Bastard. GoT Donuts? This shop is like ... ... Tyrion Lannister because a small donut shop can cast a very large shadow. ... Daenerys Targaryen because the lady at the counter is the Mother of Donuts. ... Cersei Lannister because tears aren't a woman's only weapon. Donuts work, too. ... Arya Stark because you may say "Not today." to the God of Donuts. ... Joffrey Baratheon because any shop that calls itself 'King' is no true king ... Ned Stark because it is cut off too early ... every day (at 6:00 p.m.) ... Hodor because these donuts will limit your vocabulary to 1 word: "Donuts" ... Theon Greyjoy because waiting to get home before eating them is like torture. ... Sansa Stark because the donuts are sweet, innocent, and a little boring. ... Samwell Tarly because too many of these donuts and you'll be a fat crow. ... Jon Snow because you may betray your oath for a taste of Wilding donut ... Khal Drogo because donuts have never been defeated as the moon of my life ... Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish because his business is like this one ... cash only. ... Ygritte because you'll climb a wall for sight of a donut castle ... or windmill. ... Jaime Lannister because you'd cut your right hand off for a fresh Donut King ... Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane because he'll kill ya for a chicken ... or donut. ... Lord Varys because you don't have balls if you think this is the true King ... Missandei because donuts are a universal language ... even for a Donut King ... Talisa Maegyr because Donut King has beautiful baby donuts that are killed quickly ... Melisandre because Donuts like these will make Kings rise and fall. ... Margaery Tyrell because if this is the King you will want to be THE Queen. ... Tywin Lannister because a Lannister always pays for his donuts. Don't forget ... winter is coming. Procure a dozen donuts from the Donut King and sit in your Iron Lazy-Boy in preparation. They aren't the best donuts, but I'll settle for them until Donut Khaleesi finally lands upon our shores. read more

Watch the throne, the donut king is regally delicious. That donut cray. We went here on a Saturday evening just before 6pm and it was still super good. The total was $2.50 for four donuts. Two chocolate glazed, one buttermilk, and one plain glazed. All delicious. They weren't the freshest but still tasted great. Then we put them in the oven and they were transcendent handheld delights. You probably think I'm going overboard and maybe I attribute it to the sugar rush you get eating these things. But you have a buttermilk and tell me it doesn't make heads roll like Louis XVI. Tip: they close at 6pm on Saturday. read more

Donut King - Front of the store - Bakeries Near Me - Culver City, California

Do a couple more miles on the treadmill, 'cause these donuts are worth it! And get there early if you don't want to wait in very long lines. I wanted to bring some donuts in for my office today, for an early workday treat. I found Donut King on Yelp and it is also conveniently on my exact route to work anyway, so I stopped by. At first glance, the line going into this tiny place was intimidating, but it moved quite quickly. I got the Mixed Dozen for $5.99. The owner/lady was nice enough to make it a baker's dozen, yay! Then we tore into those babies at the office- wow. I can't say I'm a donut expert, but these were some of the most moist, flavorful donuts I have had anywhere. My coworkers were quite happy as well. So the next time I need some sweet treats, I will definitely stop by again, and I hope to also try some of the croissants I have heard about as well. Don't forget, cash only! read more

We came by for cronuts in the afternoon after lunch at Public School 310. The prices are pretty damn cheap and at about 2P, they still had a large variety of donuts available. We got a custard filled chocolate donut, green tea cronut and a macaron. Now I know of only once place where the cronuts are still delicious a day after being made. This particular cronut was dry and stale, I'd assume only a few hours after being prepared. The green tea filling/topping were also unimpressive. I had a bite and gave up on it. The custard filled was just OK. Wasn't a fan of the filling at all. Macaroon was decently made, as well as the apple fritter my friend got. I know a lot of the reviews rave about this spot, so either I'm crazy, or I may have just gotten bad batches. read more
