I went to this donut shop recently, as I was on the way to Manhattan Beach. I went in and I thought it was a small clean shop. I realized there were some flies on the donuts so I didn't want any. I talk to the guy at the cash register he was a bit rude so the service was lacking and the food wasn't very well. I picked a strawberry and banana smoothie. When I got into the car and took a sip out of the smoothie there were chunks of ice and powder left in the drink, it wasn't fully blended. It was disappointing. read more

Great lil mom and pop donut shop that serves ice cream too. Yum!!! It's where the locals go. That's a good thing. I become a local when traveling in the area :). Thank you Bruce for the yumminess and great service!!! :))) read more

I stopped by this place to pick up a dozen mixed for work. They looked good. But the two that I got weren't very good... kinda odd and not really very sweet. Gonna have to try the other doughnut shop practically next door a try. And then give this one another try before I can be more confident in my review. read more

Dough Boy Donuts - The Front - Donuts Near Me - El Segundo, California

Was at Dockweiler Beach and wanted something warm because it was cold. Stop by here and grabbed some delicious coffee! My boys got donuts and the gentleman there gave us a free donut. He was so nice. Too bad I live so far if not I would definitely come here for coffee every morning :) read more

This is our local donut shop and my personal favorite. We come here at least once a week! Definitely recommend the apple fritters and buttermilk donuts read more

Went in the morning and got a dozen assorted - had the guy working at the time pick them out since we were in a hurry. Think people were mostly pleased with the results, but will have to see if I ever get fresh donuts from the place and rate them based on that. Has an oldschool liquor store vibe down to them selling Lotto tickets. Until then, 3 Stars, but I will say that I haven't tried the custard donut because we didn't end up with any in the box, and the quality of that will be the true test in the end. read more

I thought donuts were good here. I didn't think the store felt clean enough. Had a bit of a convenient store feel as well. More focused on selling lottery tickets. All good. Just a different feel. read more

Place is still consistently delicious! Just grabbed three more donuts - old fashioned, glazed, maple bar- and all were great! We regret not getting more but we are grateful to have this local shop read more

Great Donuts, Fresh Coffee , Fantastic sandwiches and the nicest owners who make everybody feel welcome like family, Also the luckiest lottery location I have ever been to. read more

My husband and I are big fans of the french cruller and couldn't be happier to have found a place that sells some really good ones! On a random Sunday we drove around looking for crullers and tried several all on the same day. Of the ones we tried, Dough Boy's had the best! Friend customer service as well! We'll be back! read more

Best Donuts in El Segundo! I work nearby - Dough Boys is the go-to when a coworker surprises the office with donuts! This shop offers all types of donuts - all the classic flavor of raised, cake, and filled donuts, plus apple fritters, blueberry muffin donuts, and other confections. The owner is super friendly. Once during a late night visit, they were sold out of all the raised donuts (my favorite) - BUT the owner said he was finishing a fresh batch. Several minutes later, he presented us with a piping hot chocolate glazed donut! The donuts always taste fresh, fluffy, and delicious! read more

I don't know all the names of the people who work here, but they are super friendly. I come here super often on my neighborhood walks for either a donut or ice cream. There are tables to sit down at, but I think most of the regulars come here for lotto and scratchers. Very safe place with police stopping here sometimes as well. Has been here for as long as I can remember. NOTE: around 9pm is when they're usually working on a FRESH BATCH of donuts. Tastes soooo good! read more

Funny story. And true. When my girlfriend's uncle proposed marriage to her aunt, he didn't buy her a ring. He bought her a blueberry doughnut from Dough Boy's. He slipped it on her delicate finger. And then took a bite. And then another. And then he Homer Simpson'ed it and polished off the whole thing. He claims it was the tastiest ring he's ever eaten. Scary that he has a frame of reference for that type of thing, but mildly entertaining nonetheless. So after drinks and dinner in El Segundo, we headed over to Dough Boy's so that I could sample the goods. We walked in, and voila! there was a table of policemen. That's a good sign. Since it was my first time there, I opted for a (small) selection of what was on offer. No, unfortunately I didn't go for a dozen... those days are for the most part over (but certainly not forgotten, he ponders as he massages his gut). First up, apple fritter. It was only ok. Not the worst I've had, but definitely not the best. Then I had the infamous blueberry doughnut. It was very good. Would have been better had it been warm, but it was greasy and blueberry-ey and delicious. Should've just stuck with that one. Overall, I have to go 3 stars because Dough Boy's is only okay, but the blueberry doughnut itself gets 4 stars. read more

My favorite doughnuts in LA, and lotto ticket hot spot! I skip two other doughnut shops to go to Dough Boy's

Every now and then when I roll up to LAX to drop off a friend or relative, I always take them to this donut shop where they serve super tasty donuts. My friend told me about this place a few years back so I eventually tried it. I have been going here since. There's nothing like donuts that have that "fresh out of the oven" taste (especially when you go SUPER early). The service is really friendly and the people are down to earth. The few times I've gone, there was this really chill girl who basically described the donuts very carefully. I swear she was like a donut encylopedia! Oh and don't forget about the sandwiches!! mmMm. Might I also add they also take their time to answer any questions and not rush you like that other donut place down the street that rhymes with Duckies. We'll get to that another day. So when you think donuts, get your head out of the gutter and stop thinking about Krispy Kreme. Get some real donuts over here. read more

This is one of my favorite donut shops because it's uncomplicated, like a time capsule. There are no fancy donuts sprinkled with bacon or Captain Crunch. It's just classic donuts and sometimes they run out. The blueberry donut is surprisingly good and I'm not normally a fan of that kind (all about old-fashioneds, pink iced with sprinkles or maple bars). There are little airplanes everywhere, which adds to the charm. You and a friend can walk up the hill to the observation park and watch the planes at LAX take off, while drinking your milk and eating a chocolate old-fashioned. Lotto tickets are sold too, so you can consolidate a lot of your vices here. read more

Favorite donut shop in my area. Love their croissants and vanilla latte ice blend!! Also would recommend the ham and cheese croissant read more

Definitely the better of the two donut shops on this street. I don't often walk the extra block from my house to go here but I should. For some reason the two shops sell the same flavors but the ones here just taste fresher and less greasy and are cheaper as well. I will say that this strip mall is much seedier than the one with Lucky Donuts a block away. They also sell ice cream but don't bother... it's always frostbitten. read more

Love this place! I live in the area, and out of all the donut shops in town this is the spot. All of the donuts I've tried are fluffy and delightful without being too sugary or sticky. I also love their croissants, they're large, soft, and you can request that they be toasted and filled with ham, cheese, or both. The service is always friendly and quick. And, if you're feeling lucky, get a lotto ticket on the way out! read more

OMG best donuts!!!! I took a 5 mile drive just to get 2 this place...totally worth da drive....excellent service, "donut lady" extremely nice...!!!!! Opens at 4am n closes at 12AM...for those who crave donuts late at night hahahah they r yummylicious!!! Highly recommended!!! mmmmmmmmm donutssssssssssss read more

There are quite a few donut shops in the area, probably because of the amount of police located in El Segundo :P but this shop is one of my favs. My roommate is the one who got me hooked on going since I really stopped eating donuts. But every now and again I get a craving. My favorites at this shop in particular are the Bavarian creme donuts, which are dusted in powdered sugar, and their crumb donuts. My 5 yr old loves what she calls 'baby donuts' the little donut holes, which they sell 8 for $1 Prices are reasonable as well. My roommate says they have good sandwiches, they also have bagels, and their croissants are really good, if you're not feeling something too sweet. read more

Between this place and the one on the corner of Main and Imperial, this is definitely the better doughnut shop! The owner and his family (who often help out behind the counter) are super-nice and the doughnuts are good. Glazed buttermilk is my favorite followed by the apple fritter in a close second. French crullers are good too! My colleagues love when I bring an assortment of these to work -- they vanish instantly! read more

Best donuts around town ! It's so chill in there just to hangout while eating such a fluffy donut ! Groovy service !!! Only thing bad is they don't have WiFi read more

What happened to this place? I remember coming here as a child and the donuts being amazing. Was that my 7 year old imagination taking flight, and anything with a pinch of sugar was going to suffice? I was recently eating in El Segundo and my friend and I wanted donuts afterwards. So I told her of this place and I started talking it up. I went on and on about how I always used to come here when I was little, and how it was that great donut shop right around the corner from that other evil donut shop (Luckys). We finally get there and she orders a classic: glazed twist. Pretty straight forward. There's no real way to mess up a glazed twist. I haven't really met a glazed twist in my life that's been terrible. So we get back in my car and she takes a bite. Then she slows down, and I could tell she wasn't enjoying it. I asked her if it wasn't that good, and she says "it's aighhttt." I thought this was just her normal shit talking (she tends to hate on everything I like, or talk of how she can distinguish better food). So I decide to take a bite, and she's correct. It tastes like a star fish (no, I don't know what a star fish tastes like, but I'm assuming this is it). Bland, texturally unappetizing, and worst of all, not sweet. What kind of donut isn't sweet?!?! I felt like the only way I'd eat this is if I were drunk (I'll eat anything when I'm drunk, even a star fish). read more

Great place for donuts and shakes! They use real ice cream and whole fat milk ::drool:: My personal fave is their glazed buttermilk donut. OMG!!! Great staff, always friendly and welcoming! An El Segundo favorite for sure! read more

So its a doughnut shop, but they have sandwiches, and they are GOOD! I live about a block away and I grab one w/ a Snapple before I head down to the beach. My $5 is better spent here, than at Subway. Way better sandwich. The doughnuts are good, too, but I prefer Lucky down the st. read more

This is one of the best donut establishments in El Segundo. They have a good selection if you go early enough. The workers are quick and friendly. I like to order the ham and cheese croissants. They'll heat it up for you before you go. The parking lot is small but we go early so parking is not much of an issue. read more

I frequent doughboys all the time. I cant comment on the other items because I have never ordered a sandwich, but others say they are very good. The doughnuts from here that I feel have the best flavor wold be the French Crueler, the Crumb Cake, The Chocolate glaze and the Old Fashioned. The brownies are a OK as well. Definitely a great place to go to get your doughnut fix! read more

The best donuts ever!! Service is good , nice place and people are very friendly !!! I love the blueberry cakes and Double chocolate cakes . read more

Have been going here for years as post-beach or pre-planespotting pastime. The donuts stay amazing, the family running the place is beyond friendly, and prices fair of course. Don't change or go away! read more

DOUGH BOY DONUT? YES, DOUGH BOY DONUT! This is the best donut shop in town. Lucky's donuts is terrible and the people working there are extremely rude! I only go to dough boys. Bruce and John always greet me with a warm and friendly attitude! The donuts here are the best! read more

New Year's Day breakfast. Easy walk from our friends place. This is a great neighborhood donut shop, had my favorite chocolate & peanut donut. Donut holes were good, but the old fashions were just ok. read more

Bruce is the owner operator of this establishment and he and his family have been serving good quality donuts for years now. They even make sandwiches that are not overpriced and are quite filling. They have loyal customers who work in the area cause they are so close to the LAX Airport. Their is another donut shop nearby on the same street that is also good but bruces prices for a dozen mixed is cheaper. He sells these mini buns that are nice to which the other donut shops don't have. The place is a full on store where you can purchase lottery tickets, cigs, cookies, shakes and ice cream. read more

Nice,fresh, delish, inexpensive, high-quality, friendly staff, family owned. What else do you need?

Cheap donuts . Pretty good however workers don't really have customer service skills.

My cousin and I went to five donut places in L.A. and conducted a blind taste test. When it came to the glazed donut, Dough Boy came out on top. For the cinnamon crumb test, Doughboy ranked highly as well. The other donuts in the test were from Lucky, Stan's, Spudnuts and Winchell's. read more

Best apple fritter donut ever. I want to live inside one of those donuts. Crispy and pillowy soft.

Really good donuts, and for right now, better than higher rated donut shop in downtown El Segundo. The place usually runs out of popular ones especially on weekends. read more

The best in town, doesn't mean its the best. They are good for donuts but nothing else.

There not donuts, there crapnuts. could not hold back. A friend who I was visiting dragged me here saying they have awesome sandwiches. Sorry I dont or rarely do coldcut meat sandwiches( unless I make em myself and use quality brands and cuts). So instead I just get some donut holes. just taste like sugar coating. I already know my fav donut shop and its located in Downey. Also fyi cash only. read more
