    Lizz D.

    Get your butts down here!!! It was my first time here and the whole experience was amazing! i love how attentive the staff is. they were very friendly and welcoming. lets talk CROISSANTS!! omg. sooooo good. i'm already thinking about coming tomorrow. they make everything fresh and cook to order. i got the number 11 with egg. YUMMMM!! the bacon was crispy and delicious!! they also have a menu on the left side of the wall with photos of what you're ordering. did i mention how big and filling the croissants are?? perfect morning meal! i found my new fav donut shop.

    came here on a gloomy day but the staff were all so cheery and kind, my day felt so much brighter! the donuts are mouth watering. this was my first time in and i can't wait to come back. i have a habit of visiting the thrift stores nearby, so i plan to add this as my first stop. they even sell mini versions of some of the donuts! perfect to pair with a coffee!

    Maple Buttermilk Bar (03/01/19). #Whittier #Donuts #GotMilk #FoodPics #FoodPorn

    (Snacked 03/01/19 FR @ 11:00am, 04/01/19 MO @ 12:30pm, & 09/17/19 TU @ 8:00am): Apparently, third time's a charm in order to express my love for apple fritters - don't call them donuts! Along one of the routes I took to get home from the city of Whittier, I constantly passed Donuts Express and of course had to stop in and try their apple fritters not once... not twice... but three times before it graced my tastebuds. I've come to learn oftentimes many shops only made enough that lasted during the morning time and then would've make anymore after that which I never understood. Was the multiple visits worth it!? PURCHASE Maple Buttermilk Bar ($1.00x2): One of my favorite donuts because of its simplicity, each one was dense, not dry, and heavily covered in thick crackling maple frosting... these are truly a treat https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4C_k25AIBoiaqw3JQU9LxQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Color Sprinkles Chocolate Cake Donut ($1.00): Color sprinkles always made me happy, this was a rainbow rush in my mouth filled with chocolate https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=CJ96SV1jsSZSo96OdYGSkg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Spicy Orange Cruller ($1.00): Barely spicy, electric orange, light and fluffy... it was like eating air a la cinnamon crisps https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=PUohEiMO8FWDSYdDm1Ua_Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Color Sprinkles White Cake Donut ($1.00): I was definitely more of a chocolate than a white cake fan but all still good https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=vh6E0RuZq21BMn602zwXRw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. THE "APPLE FRITTER IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD TOUR" CONTINUED... Apple Fritter ($1.50): Not that I was an apple fritter snob - eff it...yes I was! - but there was a certain way I liked mine. 1st, the price was comparably cheaper than most. 2nd, it was round, medium in size, medium thickness and dense with some lightness, and not exactly the size of my face (an ode to the great Goldstar Donuts in Van Nuys). 3rd, there were a sufficient amount of apple bits. 4th, the overall medium-dark brown color was nice with multiple burnt ends I liked, and the high glaze had a very good cracking effect. There were several crunchy odd crannies, corners, and nooks which I liked to break off into small little morsels. 5th, it was fresh based on its temperature but no hints of tiny oil pockets that leaked into your mouth and dripped down your throat. Overall, it had total value and couldn't wait for more - 5.0 STARS https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=3kAMCGIb31bEA_vtsWcGLg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE On this particular day, I was immediately greeted by an older gentleman behind the counter, he was primed and ready to help me. It surprisingly wasn't crowded with coffee fiends and dozen-donut buyers commonly found at this time of day, he deftly collected my order, gathered my payment, and wished me well on my way - easy-peasy! PARKING (FREE) Located in the Twin Palms Village 12-business small strip mall https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aYqBU3_-iViS0VWzEs62bQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, parking was decent both found in the front and back of the complex. Otherwise, there was plenty of parking along the main drag of Whittier Blvd. and surrounding side residential streets. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A no-frills donut shop with a simple storefront https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qSs7W8LYwfRKCUXTTB9mNA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, this simple layout was filled with only a couple standalone tables, one long display case and order counter, easily visible and visual price menus up on the wall behind the counter, various colorful posters and such hung on the walls, and your assortment of Lotto and Scratchers display https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jcYiOrfmJk_fEjrIqATvKQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Plenty of natural lighting came through the glass front door and wall windows while soul-sucking electric fluorescent ceiling lights covered the rest.I believed there was one TV and light background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL As elusive their apple fritters was at Donuts Express, I was exceedingly happy with my visits here and would definitely return for more! They served the usual menu assortment of food options (a boba drink was my next item to try), the apple fritter was very good, they weren't a 24-hour shop which was exceedingly hard to find these days, and I was happy to support a small business. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $6.50 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). Although I paid in case each time to save them any fees, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    Ham sandwich so delicious

    The donuts are definitely different since the new owners took over I wish I knew they sold.
