This place have a lot of variety of donuts but to be honest are not the bestand most of the times are not even fresh. If that's the case I reccomend you to go to a super-market and buy a regular box od donuts. Right now are buy one and the other is free at Ralphs. Really good brand and deliciious. read more

Unpopular opinion but these donuts are better than Randy's donuts! Randy's is overhyped! These donuts are amazing!! As well as they're ice cream and ham and cheese croissant! Honestly everything on they're menu is fire asf! It's also pretty cheap compared to other places... the staff is always friendly too me! So I always end up tipping. They also sell lottery tickets if you're into that.. this place has been my childhood donuts place and until this day I haven't found any better donuts... and yes I've tried California donuts and Randy's and I'm not impressed these donuts are hands down better #stardonuts! read more

I've came here 5 times before this latest visit convinced me to swear this place off forever. 3 out of the 5 times, they were out of donuts. On a Saturday at 10am, on a Saturday at 4pm, and on a Thursday at 3pm. How can a donut shop be out of donuts during regular business hours? That's like McDonalds running out of hamburgers. The store front and inside is always crowded with 5-10 homeless guys (I live 10 houses down and go by the place several times a day). I don't mind buying someone a meal, but it's disgusting to order donuts and deal with awful smells. The customer service is friendly, if you consider friendly to mean non-existent. I gave this store several chances because I live in the neighborhood, but it literally and figuratively stinks. read more

Neighbor"hood" donut shop. Basically typical nothing fancy. My son had the Ham n Cheese croissant and just a cup of coffee for me. All of the donuts looked tasty. My son enjoyed his croissant, the coffee was ok not worth a second cup. Lots of guys hanging out waiting for "work". They seemed harmless and didn't even acknowledge me! Cool! Just for a quick donut I would return here in lieu of waiting " in traffic" for a Randy's donut, which like Roscoe's is overrated read more

The café is clean, inviting, and the staff is genuinely friendly. I was greeted by the owner/manager, who took the time to welcome me and check in throughout my meal to make sure everything was to my liking. That level of hospitality goes a long way. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical about ordering Mediterranean food from a neighborhood coffee shop, but that skepticism disappeared after the very first bite. I ordered the white meat chicken kabob plate with hummus, garlic sauce, rice, and pita, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly marinated, tender, and full of the authentic Mediterranean flavors I know and love. It was clear this wasn't an afterthought on the menu--it was prepared with care and quality ingredients. Before leaving, I couldn't resist taking home a few pieces of baklava for the family, and they were the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. I'm happy to say I've found my new local spot whenever I'm craving a great coffee, breakfast, or a satisfying lunch or dinner plate. If you're an Inglewood local or just passing through the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Luua Caffe. I highly recommend it--you won't be disappointed.

Nice and simple donut place. The donuts taste good and they don't overwhelm you with too many flavors. Plus, the smoothies are fresh!

I also enjoyed the range of donuts she has every morning. They also make sandwiches and lattes here. Also have many drink options to pick from.

They also have a huge selection of breakfast sandwhiches, croissants and boba drinks. We got a sausage cheese croissant. It was perfect and made fresh at order. WOW. Don't skip!!!!!!!!

I decided to give the place another chance two years later, hoping things had changed. Unfortunately, I had almost the exact same experience with the same person. The older woman who works the counter has consistently been rude and dismissive in her tone, and her behavior has felt belittling and disrespectful both times I interacted with her. The way she spoke to me made me feel singled out and unwelcome, and it was uncomfortable enough that I won't be returning again. It's disappointing because I used to enjoy coming here, but after two separate visits years apart with the same treatment, I can't support a place where customers aren't treated with basic respect and courtesy.

Maybe half a lot long. I looked up the reviews on Yelp and.. the 2 reviews it had .. seemed good. So, I gave it a try. I came in and got half a dozen. If you buy the donuts by itself, it's .70 but if you buy half a dozen it's $3.25 I believe. I'm not a donut expert.. so I can't really tell the difference between a good donut or a bad one. But, from what I can tell... these donuts were good. They were crispy on the outside (KIND OF) and soft on the inside. Not too sweet. My only problem was it was kind of thick. I can't really open my mouth that wide. So, I have to come in at it from an angle. Good donuts though. This place is cash only. Parking: They have their own lot. Free parking. Shared with a few other stores.

This place is your old school donut shop, nothing fancy and looks like it's been around a long while.

No seats inside or out so you're buying to go or eat in your car. Although, El Segundo is a nice walking town so you can get a cup of Joe to go and take a nice stroll towards downtown. Free parking lot shared with other businesses, usually easy to find a spot. Street parking is also free if that's full. Watch the corner as people fly through that intersection as they are try to get out to the 105. Definitely worth a shot if you are in the mood for something sweet and fresh. Enjoy!!!

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

You doughnut know how much I love croissants!…read more King's Donuts of Hawthorne is my home for the flakey, buttery heaven known as a croissant! Yes, their title does lead one to the shop for their awesome donuts but, for my French pastry loving heart, it's the croissants that bring me back again and again. Both plain AND stuffed croissants are located at this shop, with plain being my go-to favorite. The crescent-shaped, golden-brown pastry has so many delicate layers of bread and butter that I find myself licking my fingers as to not miss a single crumb. They open at 5am which allows me to pick up goodies while they are still warm on my way to run around town. The cost is also lower than several other local spots, making this a double win in my opinion. Staff is kind and dedicated to making your visit an enjoyable one. Greeting customers with a friendly smile seems to always be on the menu! Ambiance is that of a mom & pop bakery which makes me feel welcome at any point in the day. Handicap parking is located just outside the front door, but with a smaller, more limited parking lot. The front door is left open most mornings, allowing for morning bakery smells & aromas to waft through the air. This also helps those who may have trouble opening a heavy door.
