    Apple Fritter
    Austin B.

    tl;dr the crummy cronuts and premium prices at this neighborhood favorite overshadow the otherwise solid fritter Donut shops are never more than a stone's throw away across Los Angeles, and every Angeleno has their neighborhood favorite. A popular local spot is Moon Donut in Torrance. This family-run bakery is best known for its custard-filled donut varieties, but the dizzying selection makes picking just one donut a challenge. Moon Donuts shares a lime-green strip mall with a smoke shop and a chicken shop. But on a weekend morning, all of the bustle is donut-focused; expect a steady stream of customers. The interior is brightly lit, industrial, and a little run-down. Shelves upon shelves of donuts are neatly organized in the displays to the right, while a short refrigerator section to the left is filled with grab-and-go beverages. The hot menu is displayed on flat screens behind the counter, and coffee fixings are stacked on a stainless-steel shelf in the corner. My partner and I arrived mid-morning on a Sunday, and the staff were quick to take our order. We decided on an Apple Fritter and a Cookie Cronut. Moon's fritter was unlike any I've ever had. Uniquely, it was filled with walnuts, but the apple flavor was minimal; perhaps the donut would be more aptly described as a "cinnamon-walnut fritter". The dough was dense, crispy, and syrupy (all pros to me), but the absence of apple held this fritter back from being one of my favorites across LA. Meanwhile, the cronut was an ambitious and delicious-sounding option that fell flat in practice. The cookie was overcooked and mostly tasteless, while the donut was essentially just a ring-shaped croissant; both components were inferior to something I could buy at Costco. Rarely do I leave a donut on the table (especially a premium and expensive one like this), but I simply couldn't choke this one down. Service was efficient, and our total clocked in above $9 (taking into account Moon's credit card surcharge). While the fritter had its positives, the cronut was simply unpalatable. As such, I will probably steer clear of Moon in the future, even if I'm already in the neighborhood.

    SO YUMMY! I am somewhat of a donut snob...and these were so fresh and delicious! The prices are great too for donuts with such great flavors and presentation. Staff was friendly and service was quick even with the small line that was there when we arrived. Small lot but no issue finding a parking spot. Will be back! I saw they also do custom donuts!

    Quite literally the best donuts. Especially the apple fritter, cronut, and maple bars!!! The customer service is A1 and their hours are unbeatable. They always let you know when they have fresh donuts coming out throughout the day and we will definitely be back tomorrow. This is literally how we felt when we got our donut order!

    Amazing donuts for our faculty meeting. Donuts were fresh, and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Moon donuts is close to my work site and always a hit.

    Delicious donuts. Interesting flavors. The maple bacon are bomb!!! Loved the red velvet and smores flavors too. Take out only, counter service, no seating. Fresh OJ, milk, sodas and coffee too. Best donuts in SoCal

    Date: June 15, 2025 It was Father's Day and we were in the area on the way to redondo beach and wanted a little snack. I originally wanted some sweet bread but there's nothing in the area so I suggested donuts. We passed by moon donuts on the way to the pier so we stopped by. They have two different kinds of donuts. A 'regular' fridge and a 'fancy' fridge. The regular ones are the plain sugar, glaze, chocolate and sprinkles like you normally see at a donut shop and the fancier ones have different flavors like ube, cream, sprinkles/toppings, and so much more. We got a half dozen (11.99$) and thought we could pick anything but it's only out of the regular fridge. So we got those. She gave us 3 donut holes for my kids which was super sweet. The fancier donuts are priced at 3.50$ each. Which isn't bad but for what we wanted, it was out of our price range. But I will definitely be back to try some of those! They also do custom donuts too! The donuts were SUPER fluffy and so soft and so delicious!!! The sugar one was just *chef's kiss*. And the glaze was amazing ! We devoured them so quickly I wish we got a dozen! Thank you so much for a great first visit. We will definitely be back!

    Love coming here! Their donuts are bomb, but I'd say I love their breakfast even more! Their breakfast burritos and very big and filling for such a good price. Such a good hole in the wall!

    Best donuts in Town! Stop by here a lot but this is the first time I got to do a review! They have choices upon choices for donuts; chocolate, glazed, sprinkles you name it! They have lots to choose from, and all sorts of decorative donuts for your choosing! Leon helped me pick out my batch and I can say he was very helpful, and was able to pick the donuts (some I never would have picked myself) and they all tasted great! They get really busy in the morning so try and grab your donuts before the rush, very clean and kept tidy for every customer. A little small but that's okay because they are very speedy with service! If I could give a 10 out of 10 I would! Definitely a donut lovers paradise!

    Moon donuts will always and forever be my favorite donut place. When I'm in the mood for a delicious doughnut no other place will do. This is my go to when I need a sweet treat that's always perfection. They do the specialty donuts so well but the classics are always my favorite. You can never go wrong with a glazed twist or a chocolate doughnut and some donut holes. The service is top notch and they are so kind all the time. I also like seeing the regulars just enjoying their donuts. I never have a hard time finding parking in their lot either.

    The croissants were amazing. They did not skimp on any of the ingredients and the donuts are always a hit! They even threw in the two glazed donuts for us. Great customer service and food! Thank you, Moon Donuts!

    Birthday donuts
    Kimberly L.

    We wanted to get our friend birthday donuts as a last minute gift. I was able to place the order the night before and pick up by 8:30-9 am the next day. We were able to personalize the letters, icing, and toppings. The shop is simple and small but had a great variety of donuts. We were happy with the custom order and are excited to share this with our friend. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into the donuts. The toppings are neatly arranged and made the donuts look great.

    Bought a surprise bag off the Too Good to Go app for about $7,$8 and got 9 specialty donuts. They looked really nice, but didn't taste as good as they looked. Not bad, but a regular donut tastes way better.

    See all

    Didn't have a great experience overall with this particular donut shop- it was definitely the opposite.

    The Boy & The Bear is a popular local coffee shop in Redondo Beach (just across from Eat at Joe's)…read morewith local customers often bringing their kids or dogs. Oddly enough their logo reminds me of the logo from Boba Guys. The shop was originally rebranded from The Fika Company and this Redondo Beach location is the flagship store. The Boy & The Bear places a strong emphasis on store design and each location is named after a different color as this one is called the Black Store. Currently, they have multiple locations in Los Angeles (Redondo Beach, Culver City, Westchester, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, and Gardena) with new shops opening in South Pasadena (Summer 2026) and Little Italy in San Diego (Summer 2026). [Parking]: Metered parking on N Francisca Ave. Otherwise visitors will need to circle around for local street parking. [Atmosphere]: Spacious indoor seating (about five tables) and a bar table & 5-6 small outdoor bench tables and additional cozy outdoor seating. [Menu]: A straightforward coffee menu with only three syrup flavors: mocha, vanilla, and caramel. They also offer teas and various croissants. *** Vanilla latte (to-go & hot - $7.50): No latte art - just a simple hot vanilla latte. It was a solid latte with the right amount of sweetness. *** A nice coffee shop in the South Bay with a good first-date vibe and above-average drinks, but beware of the parking situation.

    I ordered vanilla latte and the espresso shot tasted really good…read more The almond yuzu croissant was also extremely delicious and well done I love the atmosphere inside - very relaxing

There's no better place in the South Bay to get a HOME RUN Coffee or Matcha experience, complete with a super chill atmosphere and pastries that are out of this world. The owner is the coolest guy on the planet, and he's there all the time, making every single one of his customers feel like family. The thing that keeps me and my wife coming back (besides the unbeatable drink taste and quality) is the warm authentic service. This is key. Every other coffee spot is staffed with people who do not care, put zero effort into the experience, and look like they hate their jobs. But at Chrome? Everybody is stoked to help you have a great experience, whether you're chilling there doing work on your laptop, or stopping by to grab a drink to go. It's love all around, which speaks volumes about the business. Recommended drinks for first timers: Chrome Matcha or the Banana Cream Latte. Unbeatable taste, you won't find anything like it anywhere else in the South Bay. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, you won't find any other place like it.

    Checked out Chrome Coffee recently and honestly really enjoyed it. I ordered the banana cream latte…read morehalf sweet and it was perfect. A lot of places either make flavored drinks way too sweet or you can barely taste the flavor, but this one was balanced perfectly. Super smooth and easy to drink. The shop itself had a really good vibe too clean, welcoming, and just a nice spot to hang out for a bit. Staff was friendly and the drink came out quick. Definitely one of the better coffee spots I've tried in the area. Would absolutely come back and try more off the menu. Highly recommend this place if you're into specialty coffee or just want a really solid latte.
