My best friend told me about this place and how delicious, fresh and quality the donuts were. So what did we do? WE WENT TOGETHER. I had the pleasure of experiencing it this morning. Off the bat, the energy from the front staff was so warm and inviting! Greeted with positive tone and patience while we tried to decide what flavors we wanted to take home with us. They are gluten free and vegan I believe! I couldn't resist... so I requested one of each mini flavor and I don't regret it one bit!! The donuts were showcased so beautifully. I was lucky enough to sample the peanut butter chocolate and I fell in love with just one bite. I was also told that they add little to no sugar!!! I got strawberry shortcake, double chocolate, vanilla, blueberry, lemon, and churro. They were all so rich and soft but my favorite has to be the double chocolate or blueberry! I can't wait to be back and try the vanilla latte flavor! Thank you for an amazing first time. read more

Fōnuts - (6) minis - strawberry shortcake, double chocolate, vanilla, blueberry, lemon, churro - Donuts Near Me - Studio City, California

Okay so super friendly dude with just one flavor left; I love coffee flavored anything so I was super excited to know it was vanilla latte! It was juicy, fresh and not super sweet. I am obsessed and cannot wait to go back. The guy said to come in the morning or call about what flavors but man I'll try them all. Not a sitting type place although plenty of coffee shops to sit at nearby. Friendly. Delicious. Btw I don't care for vegan products, I don't search for them I mean-- this was worth it. read more

Decided to stop here for the first time on a whim. Ordered four diverse donuts to try a little of everything. They have a large selection to choose from and love that they have vegan options. I chose the double chocolate, blueberry earl grey, gingerbread and churro. To start off they were all a bit dry, especially the churro. They were all sweeter than I expected, a bit much for me. The blueberry seemed to be the sweetest. The double chocolate and the gingerbread had really good flavor. I would get these two again. read more

Fōnuts - Got the goods! - Donuts Near Me - Studio City, California

Ok so I'm on a quest to find gluten free donuts and these are FIRE! They use almond flour and one half of the glass is dedicated to gluten free treats, while the other is gluten free + vegan. Off top, they were soft and sweet, and delicious! They had some unique flavors to choose from, like cookie, iced lemon, double chocolate, etc. I got the strawberry shortcake but also bought a box of mini donuts for $12.00. Going to bring them to brunch They also have gluten free sourdough bread and biscuits! Highly recommend this place. PS the vegan ones do have soy in them (soy milk) read more

These are my favorite donuts. As a gluten-free person sometimes it can be hard to find donuts. These ones are so amazing. My friends in the pictures have to go here whenever they're in town and they aren't even gluten-free. They're just that good. The service is always excellent and the ambience is simple and elegant. read more

Best healthy donut you will ever find. Super friendly, too. Nice variety if you get there before they sell out! read more

A gluten free donut shop that doesn't compare to your average donut shop. These are better, moist, and very flavorful. Living in South Florida I have yet to find a place that comes close, so while in Los Angeles I had to pop in a few times to grab a different donut each time. And right before heading back home to Florida took some with me to go. Recommend that you go early, by 2pm they will be out of most of the popular flavors. Appreciate the server always being patient with me, could never decide on flavors. And the sitting area is small but most just come in for pick up orders and don't sit long, I highly recommend you try this place if ever in the area. read more

Okay, if you're expecting a light fluffy airy donut, this isn't for you. But if you are gluten free then you know the struggle of finding a rich and delicious treat, struggle no more team. Fonuts has the answers. The churro one may be my fave. They have vegan options The service? Nothing to note really but like who cares you ask for the fonut they give it to you you eat it, you're in heaven, their lack of smile or have a good day is completely irrelevant. read more

Small shop and coming at the end of the day on a Sunday (after farmers market too) meant everything was pretty much sold out lol. Fortunately to try a few flavors and the gentleman there was very friendly and helpful. Being gluten free and craving things can be challenging but grateful for this spot and want to try other flavors next time! read more

OMG I'm in heaven!!! I'm so happy I found this place on Yelp and came to try it!!! So moist and delicious!!! Can't believe this is vegan and gluten-free wow . Feels amazing to enjoy sweets, guilt free!!! A MUST!!! You won't be disappointed at all!!!

My boyfriend is gluten free and he can't have many sweets because it's often hard to find places that make gluten free sweets. Especially in the valley, it feels even harder to find gluten free dessert here. Which is why we were so thrilled to find Fonuts!! I surprised him for his birthday and the Fonuts were all an absolute hit with everyone there. Our favorite was the strawberry shortcake! But honestly all the flavors are good. And they don't crumble apart like some other gluten free desserts do. I recommend getting the mini donuts if you are planning to share with many people. read more

Unbelievable why the high ratings! $5 for a small sugary donut that falls apart. Other than heavy sugar there is no taste. Vegan doesn't mean anything when you basically eating sugar! Paid $15 for three small donuts that disintegrated when brought home! I felt I threw away $15 in garbage. Sorry, that was my experience ! read more

It's a great place to cheat without feel like you're actually cheating. All the donuts excuse me fonuts were excellent. Although they might not trick the average doing it either as they are made out of almond flour, but I thought they tasted amazing. Parking is on the street which can be kind of hard to find but I parked in the chase bank Parking and got some money out so I was actually a customer and didn't feel so bad. There is plenty of parking anyways on a Saturday afternoon. read more

They're baked donuts. They're not fluffy like a regular donut so you'll be disappointed if that's what you're expecting. They're basically bundt cakes and they taste good. It's a pretty good alternative because I can't find gluten free donuts anywhere. I recommend going earlier in the day around open or a couple of hours after because they may run out of certain flavors. Parking is not the best in this area. read more

I trust that fōnuts is a great spot, as all of their donuts looked amazing. It was really hard to choose from all of them, but in light of the holiday coming up we decided to try the Gingerbread Donut. To be candid, although the donut was really moist and soft, I also found it to be too soggy, wet, and heavy. I wasn't expecting it to be that dense - instead, I thought it was going to be more light, airy, and fluffy. Not only that, but the gingerbread taste was faint, weak, and could've been a lot stronger to hold true to its name. Regardless, I appreciated the warm greeting upon going into the shop and there's no doubt the atmosphere evokes cleanliness, friendliness, and warmth read more

Wow. As someone who has been GF for 12 years I'm amazed! I got the pancakes and syrup and strawberry shortcake flavors. The price is my biggest draw back honestly. Also wish it came in a box because the icing was sticking to the paper. I would definitely come back and recommend. read more

Great donuts. Gluten free. Dairy free. Very costly but well worth it. They are basically mini cakes disguised as donuts. Everyone that tried them at my bday gathering loved them. Would give five stars but took one only because I really do think they should offer some kind of discount, even 10%... on large orders. I had placed around $100 order worth of donuts. read more

Attention all dairy challenged friends! You don't need to miss out any longer!! This place is cute and intimate. The gentleman that worked there had a great smile and was very helpful. The FoNut Donuts are the best I've had. I tried the mini dairy free ones. The vanilla latte and churro flavors are my favorite. They are the perfect addition to a party or just having a few friends over for bunch. But they're always great for a treat with a cup of coffee. You need to try these for yourself. They are not your chain-store greasy, over sweetened donut. They are an elevated piece of art... a decadent pastry for any palate. read more

fōnuts is a really lovely and convenient place for gluten free (slight emphasis on gluten free) options for donuts! I love their vegan flavors, but texture-wise, they are generally pretty acquired. The people working at the front are sweet and walk you through the options of the day, plus the boxes and storefront are distinctively adorable. read more

Accompanied daughter for her scheduled massage nearby and as I walked along the area, I came across this shop. Curious as to why people were lining up, I turned around later when line had slowed down and bought a banana chocolate fonut. For a vegan and gluten free donut, this was delicious. Moist and not entirely overwhelmingly sweet. I certainly finished it without a pause. It's a bit costly for $5.25 a fonut. Worth to splurge as it is yummy. The place is a hole in a wall, no place to eat, only take out however the ambiance of the place is cute and wholesome. If you are a person of 'must try' like Me, go for it. read more

I wanted to like it, but the flavor is not great. I went there in hopes of bringing back some yummy donuts but I've definitely had better baked donuts with more rich flavor and texture. The amount of sugar content makes it hard to enjoy the taste of lemon, blueberry, strawberry and earl grey tea infusion. The maple donut was probably the best for my palette craving but I would not buy it again unfortunately. The ambience in the space can also be better. Went there half an hour before closing so maybe music was off and vibe was tiresome for that reason but the quietness of the space didn't feel very welcoming. read more

One of our favorite doughnut places in LA where we can get vegan options! Their doughnuts are not fried but baked, so it feels lighter and healthier. I call it a guilty free pleasure :) I always get Lemon and Banana Chocolate, they are my go-to choices! The only reason why I give 4 stars is that they close as soon as doughnuts are sold out, which is usually by 2 pm. I sometimes wish they had longer business hours. So, place an order online for the same day pick up or call ahead to see if they are still open + still have your favorite flavors. read more

I'm normally pretty skeptical of "healthy" desserts but I gave fonuts a shot today. I split a few different flavors with friends. We tried the blueberry earl grey, churro, vanilla latte, and strawberry shortcake. It would be difficult to pick a favorite, but I was partial to the strawberry shortcake. Upon taking the first bites of each donut, the freshness of the ingredients immediately stood out. Elements like the burst of blueberries and the boldness of the espresso added to an already yummy treat. The texture was also incredible; not exactly like a traditional donut (fonuts are baked, not fried), yet still soft and moist. They paired nicely with lattes from Alfred a couple doors down. Give fonuts a try- you'll be happy you did!! read more

Fonuts is kinda like donuts but different. I like em pretty much. And the server guy was drinking a matcha from my favorite place in the world Alfred coffeee studio city! Instant 5 stars. Ambulance also read more

Fōnuts (faux donut) is Nancy Truman & Tom Furtado's love letter to doughnut lovers who happen to be gluten intolerant as Nancy is. They got their start at Farmer's Market and opened the first store in 2011. "The Enlightened Donut" is always baked fresh daily, never fried, made with almond flour, low to no-sugar and also offering vegan selections. This Studio City location is their second in Los Angeles. The original is in Beverly Grove on 3rd Street. They are open from 8 am - 5 pm and, as I seem to be in this area at night, today was the first day I caught them open! The lovely redhead behind the counter was very helpful and answered all my questions. I decided on the mini size and chose four: Churro, Lemon, Strawberry Shortcake and Blueberry-Earl Grey. The mini size is $1.75 each and provided me with two bites each. A half dozen goes for $10 and a dozen for $20. These are very cake-like in texture and feature the use of real fruit, nuts, vanilla beans that you can actually see and taste. They are definitely less sugary and more dense than regular doughnuts. The flavors were all good without being overpowering. Flavors available on rotation are: Fōtella, Buttermilk, Pumpkin, Blueberry-Earl Grey, Churro, Strawberry Shortcake, Vanilla, Double Chocolate, Lemon, Peanut Butter-Chocolate, Vanilla Latte, Dark Maple, Chocolate-Chip Cookie, Banana-Chocolate, Banana and Plain. The regular sized fōnuts are pricey, at $4.50 each, $26 for a half dozen and $51 for a dozen. I imagine if I had celiac or was gluten-intolerant, being able to treat myself to doughnuts again would make it worth the price! read more

In my pre-Celiac days of 20 years ago, I visited so many mom and pop donut joints (not the big W although they weren't bad), that I was made an honorary police officer. So, when I was diagnosed with celiac and no longer could roam LaLaLand looking for the holy grail of donuts, I was crushed and drummed out of the force. This fōnuts is a slightly smaller version of its original spot on Third Street, but comes in a minimalist and sleek modern package. Carrying only GF fōnuts, this donut shop bakes their donuts and have made their faux donuts much closer to the texture and tasregular donuts. The dough is not too heavy and cake like, and the flavors are tasty. I took home the churro fōnut, blueberry and a strawberry shortcake. The churro was very good with a nice cinnamon flavor and the other two were excellent. Good on you, Fōnuts in the Valley for letting me re-experience a donut, even if it is baked. read more

With so many ppl affected by gluten sensitivity this was a welcome option. My dad was ecstatic to find this place and I was pleasantly surprised that I truly enjoyed the Fonut! Flavor profiles are on point and they're not overly sweet. Still light and cake like with added protein from the almond flour. These are a Win for sure read more

I really wanted to love this place. As a vegan, it's hard finding donuts. The shop itself is absolutely beautiful, the customer service was also lovely but the actual vegan donuts weren't great. I was looking for a consistency like a regular cake donut. (whole foods used to make them and they were delicious and same consistency as a regular cake donut but they discontinued making them unfortunately). These fonuts had such a weird texture. The best way to describe it is grainy and instantly falls apart in your mouth but not in a good way. On a happier note I found K's donut emporium in both Sherman Oaks and Studio City has vegan cake donuts that taste and have the consistency I was looking for. read more

Finally made it to the "Nuts of Fo." 100% gluten free donut shop tucked away on Laurel Place near Greenwood Shop, Joan's On Third S.C. and Kit Kraft art's & crafts store just off Laurel Canyon. I came in on a Sunday and though other shops were quite busy, Fonuts of Studio City had a minimal crowd. The guy on duty was super friendly and personable and ready to help or answer questions. The vegan fonuts are one of a kind. Very flavorful, they crumble into your mouth like fresh baked dough. A lot of these aren't available for deliver or purchase through third party apps, which makes coming in even more of a treat. Sometimes they run out or low or certain flavors, mainly of the v(egan) variety versus the strictly gf. The churro vegan donut is probably my top pic. Though the vanilla latte is a close second. Fonuts also has bottled, canned and boxed beverages for purchase along with some fun merchandise, such as all occasion cards, pins and logo shirts. They offer seating outside on two jumbo size benches at the foot of the entrance, one on each side of the main door. A nice place to take a load off, beat the heat and enjoy some unique treats. read more

I was sent a dozen fonuts for my birthday and they arrived beautifully in a box at my front door! These are very unique donuts, with a crumbly texture and fresh, unique flavors. The dark maple both smelled and tested delicious! I also loved the double chocolate which was more a moist, cake texture. Third fave was the chocolate chip which tasted like the mini muffins I used to love as a kid. If you prefer a more fruity flavor, the strawberry, blueberry and lemon all tasted like fresh fruit and were delightful and not too sweet. The black and white tastes a lot like a black and white cookie and the drier texture suits this flavor well. They are expensive donuts but they are also not the average donut! All are gluten free and some are vegan. They are not overly sweet or sugary. So it's definitely a healthier gourmet alternative to a donut but still a satisfying special treat! Any of the non-fruit ones would be delicious with a hot coffee! I tasted all of them and froze the remaining die another day and I think they will prob defrost well and maybe add moisture, too. Looking forward to seeing how they taste! I'll definitely stop by and grab a fonut when I'm in the area! read more

I'm not gluten free or vegan, but I found several of the Fonuts to be rather craveable. Overall, very tasty and rather unique with a fine crumbly texture. Some are vegan - the two I tried were a bit lighter and drier than the others, but still very good. In order of my preference: Chocolate - rich and moist, lots of dark chocolate flavor, more like a dessert cake and a damn good one. Blueberry Earl Grey - flavor bomb, lots of blueberries, a close second. Strawberry Shortcake - rich sweet strawberry goodness, decadent Vanilla latte (vegan) - subtle coffee flavor, slightly dry by itself but great with coffee. Olive Oil Wild Blueberry - more like a coffee cake, no icing, restrained flavors, best for those who want a less sweet experience. Lemon (vegan) - light with a strong pucker-y lemon flavor, but a bit one dimensional, and also a bit dry probably because it is vegan. Any of the above are good, but the first two stood out. They are not cheap, but worth the occasional splurge. read more
