Ok I've been on a huge donut kick lately and Moon Donuts is satisfying that craving! Open super early at 4 am, it's truly the classic place to grab coffee and donuts to go. But there is a small space for seating inside. I picture this the perfect setting for having morning coffee and reading newspapers (but ONLY the paper kind, not on your phone). Anytime we get donuts, the fiance always gets old fashioned donuts and maple bars while I always opt for cake donuts. This time was no exception but the irony was that we both loved our choices but loved each others' even more. The cake donut consistency in the old fashioned as well as my chocolate donut was perfection. Not too heavy and a perfect balance of cakey donut goodness. The maple bar was fragrant and oh so satisfying for your sweet tooth. The hero of our entire experience though has to be the croissant breakfast sandwich. Oh my I would love it if my body would allow me to have this as part of my morning routine. Alas, calories do count, but when I'm not counting, I'm getting this sandwich again. Parking right in front as it's located inside a small shopping square, good prices, and friendly staff-- this is a slam dunk! read more

This place is sooo over priced and the donuts are not that good. Don't bother calling ahead to place an order because they never have it ready. Also if you are a Delivery Driver, don't bother accepting the order because they NEVER have it ready either and you have to wait a long time for your order. Much better donuts shops around and you're on-time rating will drop if you are a delivery driver. read more

my food had a roach in it. the lady was so rude her name was jayla she was so mean telling me I smelled bad. THe DONUTS WERE 40 DOLLARS FOR 3 DONUTS LIKE WTH. read more

So BIG. So Delicious! So Friendly! So Fast! So in LOVE with Moon Donuts! Always a great selection. Any time you come, any choice you make, consistently spot on! read more

Moon Donuts - $14 dozen - Donuts Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Good donuts and great people inside working hard always. Been going to them for many years in Torrance. Small spot, seating is available inside but not many tables. You gotta get there early to get a spot. It's def one of those small whole in the wall places you enjoy going to. Enjoy!! read more

Always the best and biggest and freshest donuts with a smile and a friendly family who runs it. Designer donuts look out because you got nothing on Moon Donuts. With some new places trying to over charge for weird flavored donuts that are bland and have been sitting all day it's nice to have a place to go that treat donuts like the real treat they are. They have a small bar area you can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and some donuts or a croissant or muffin with an old friend, a new friend or the family. They open early so you can run by on your way to work and bring it in for everyone enjoy. They are delicious and very adorable. They aren't the closest donut shop to me but I would rather drive to them than grab donuts rather than from a major brand. The quality you get and at the price point is too good to pass up. Even if you have to drive a bit to get to them you'll save in price. read more

This place is like a fairy tales of donuts, all types of very creative decorations and the flavors are soooo good!! I think I love this place more than my kids!! read more

Nice little donut shop with line out the door which tells you the items are good and fresh. Our experience was good except for packaging because the owner jammed all the donuts into one box. Packaging and presentation counts for a lot. If they jam your donuts into one box beware that the topping will get destroyed. They should do better! Also, definitely not a cheap place for donuts. 8 donuts came to almost $19, but everything did taste fresh. read more

Moon Donuts - Maple donut destroyed - Donuts Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Picked up two dozen of yummy donuts today for National Donut Day. Moon donuts are the best! They are baked fresh everyday. My favorite is the glazed buttermilk. I also like that they are open early. Also try their breakfast sandwiches! read more

VERY RUDE UNGRATEFUL women working there at Moon Donuts! NOT the kind the energy you want when it comes the people making & serving your food. I own a dessert food business & this is NOT THE WAY! If they don't seem to care about the customers then they probably DON'T care about the food safety or sanitation of the food they're preparing for them as well. One of the times I went I purchased an apple fritter & it tasted like it was cooked in old fry oil & overcooked which causes donuts to have an unusually bad burnt taste to it. I immediately went back inside to inform them & the lady tried to argue with me telling me that's how it's made & how it's supposed to taste. I know what over fried dough taste like but I was being too nice & should've told her loud enough so everyone could hear that I could tell that it was cooked in old fry oil....that whole experience was rude and very dismissive on her part.... Also, no one there acknowledges or greets you when you walk in & they seem annoyed that you're even there or when you ask for things like utensils & napkins even after spending at least $50 on doughnuts. This has happened on multiple occasions in which I've tried giving them chances to redeem themselves. My colleagues have mentioned having similar experiences. Despite the artsy doughnuts, I would NEVER recommend Moon Donuts! I'm NEVER going back! read more

Their decorated donuts are really cute and the prices extremely reasonable. No pretentiousness at all.

Super good and fair prices very unique doughnuts and also had traditional style highly recommend trying them out

Best donuts I've ever had. Period. Excellent service too. Moon donuts never disappoints.

I just happened to find this place a few weeks ago when my little one wanted donuts and this was the closest place. What a nice surprise! The donuts are beautiful and delicious! We have tried Nutella cronut, lemon filled, cheesecake, regular chocolate, s'mores, and different ones with the cute designs. And yeah, it's because after that first time, we came back a few times more! They are not expensive unless you get the fancy ones, 2 donuts will be almost $10. The regular ones are like 1.5, so not expensive at all. I honestly don't see you getting regular ones aft seeing ALL the different delicious options they have read more

This is the kind of doughnut place that you dream of existing. You walk in and there is a large selection of beautiful doughnuts, the case filled with them and there are endless possibilities of the ones to choose from. Since I was just getting them for myself, I only got 6 and it was a really hard decision for which to pick. I settled on a twist, glazed, jelly, crumb, blueberry and sour cream glazed. I need to point out first that the twist was one of the fluffiest and best doughnuts I've ever had. It was so light and fluffy and not too sweet, I could've easily had 3 of these. The blueberry was my second favorite it was just perfect and all that I'd hope for. The other doughnuts were very good, I feel like you can't go wrong here. My only criticism is that my jelly doughnut could've used a little more jelly. That's a small criticism when the doughnut itself was so perfect. Part of the fun coming here is the selection and I just feel like you can't go wrong. The guy working there was so nice and excited that I was so excited about the doughnuts. I polished off all 6 doughnuts myself, shamelessly while my dog watched hoping for a crumb. Sadly for him, there were no crumbs, but he did get to lick my fingers. Next time I'm in town I cant wait to come back here. read more

Best donuts in Torrance. The best service! We don't go anywhere else! Our favorites: Boston Cream and the new Bacon Maple Donuts! They also have fresh squeezed orange juice straight from the farmers market, plus Vietnamese iced coffee, fruit smoothies and boba. You can also get egg and bacon sandwiches -- it's not just doughnuts. Support local businesses and go here! read more

The donuts here are always fresh and DELICIOUS!!! I had the opportunity to come here before 5am to take some friends visiting from Japan to try their first American donut before heading to the airport. They were thrilled. We ordered 6 for all of us and got the 6 donut deal. The man working behind the counter even gave us some small samples to try before ordering and was very friendly! This place has been a staple in this neighborhood for quite a while, and I truly hope they never leave! read more

DELICIOUS! Some of the best donuts I've ever had. The pink frosted with sprinkles was definitely my favorite, but they were all phenomenal!

Glad my wife and I decided to do a little cheat date and grab a donut. We were picking up some food and decided that we wanted to grab a donut. First donut shop we saw and we loved it. Glad we took the chance. Lol. We got it in the late afternoon and the donuts were still super soft!! Yum yum yum!! Hands down one of the best we've had and trust me, my wife and I LOVE donuts and try so many different places and it's really hard to find a really good spot. The staff were friendly. No disappointment here for their donuts!! read more

Driving to my afternoon meeting, I just thought it would be nice if I bring them a few dozens of donuts to my meeting. Pulled over and looked up on Yelp to find this place. I walked in and confirmed a dozen is only $9, great price, I didn't know which one was good, I asked the staff (perhaps an owner) to just pick her favorite. She quickly picked her favorites and boxed them up for me. I looked pretty serious while she was working on boxing up (I was reading my work e-mail on my phone), after I paid by credit card, she said, "I will give you smile", and gave me one of her favorite donuts for free. I don't really eat donuts but just her nice gesture brought me a big smile. I didn't get to taste the donuts but everyone at a company I visited in the afternoon said they were good. They could be just being polite but everyone was smiling around me. Stop by here for smiles. read more

Such great donuts! Doesn't get any better than this. I recently discovered this on a whim before going to my nail salon without having breakfast (happens to be right next door). So, on an empty stomach I went in and ordered a couple of donuts and to my surprise they were out of this world! Yes, the donuts here are cakey, very fluffy to the bite and soft enough to melt in your mouth. I'm actually craving some right as I write this! Anyway, they do have a large selection making it almost that much tougher to decide (as tough as picking out a nail polish color, haha). But, if you arrive late you better believe they'll run out of your favorite flavor...They open really early (5am I believe) and bake daily, fresh and fast so get you some of the freshest donuts nice and early. As if it wasn't enough sugar, I've also ordered their Vanilla Iced Coffee. It's quite heavily sweet but as perfect as I would want it. And regarding the staff there, they're such sweethearts they occasionally throw in some donut holes with my donut without me noticing. They're always so patient (can't decide on the flavor a lot) and kind. Donut waste any more time, go! ;) read more

I called Moon Donuts for an inquiry about Mickey Mouse donuts and the lady was very nice and helpful. She even responded to my texts late in the evening and went out of her way to try to help me. I really appreciate her excellent customer service. She showed me she really cares about making customers happy. I will definitely order donuts from Moon Donuts! :) read more

Donuts on a saturday morning is one of the best additions to my life so far. Finding the right donut shop was hard until moon donuts was introduced to me. They are truly the best donuts i've tasted and the service/price is amazing. To be honest i'm still amazed on how donuts can be so cheap yet taste like a million bucks. Moon donuts in redondo beach are one of the best quality donuts i've eaten because of how fresh and fluffy they are. The arent too doughy either. Although it sucks that they run out of apple fritters so quickly and you have to get there really early(which sucks on a saturday morning), its all worth it once you take a bite out of their donuts that affordable and high quality. read more

Great donuts, fast, quick, wife and I go here on occasion. Just got food poisoning and enjoyed my porcelain thrown in more ways than one. At least your donuts made the experience at taste much better than the potential meal that caused it. Will always recommend this place read more

I would go here only for those buttermilk treats. Second best are the Cronuts, only then followed by the donuts.

What a great donut shop! It is right along the side of the road so you can just pull up along the side walk (30 minute parking only), walk in, buy, and leave without the hassle of backing out of a regular parking stall (which they also have). Their donuts are great and cheap, and the staff is very kind This is the only store that I know that opens at 4am! I'm sure there are others but I have yet to discover them. They've been opening at this time for the last 29 years (now THATS why I'm also giving them a 5 star review :D!) read more

Loved the donut holes, maple bar and the jelly filled. The donuts were so freakin soft and had no oily texture or smell. I don't even remember a shop that sells donuts without the smell of oil. It was like chewing sweet air pockets. And the best part is the great price. I did not know how my 6 donut holes got over in like 2 minutes. read more

I do not know how they do it?! These are somehow the lightest, tastiest, most flavorful and heavenly donuts that I have ever eaten. It's almost like eating a tasty cloud. They aren't even in the same CLASS as your traditional 89 cent grocery store donut. Also, they have a huge and festive donut selection along with many other bagel, sandwich, etc. options. They seem to serve fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee, as well. They are also quick, kind and friendly, and there's convenient parking. I can't wait to go back! read more

Amazing Vietnamese coffee. Coming from someone who used to drink Starbucks everyday and stopped once I tried Moon Donuts coffee. The donuts are good too and staff is always nice read more

The donuts are cakey, moist and well balanced. I'd go so far to say these are some of the best donuts around. One caveat though, you must show up early for a large selection b/c they sell out quick. I walked in around 10am and got the last chocolate glazed cream filled (boston cream) and someone else walked in and wanted the same and was denied. That creme filled donut turned out to be one of the best I've ever had. The jelly filled donuts aren't as good as Randy's up on La Cienaga. It's the jelly, it's just not the best taste. The donut is good though, they get that right. Deliciously cakey donuts Cake donuts are the best ever Glazed donuts are light and airy, sweet and delicious Old fashioned are so delightful to pick apart Friendly staff and great service The coffee is just bad. Very bad. Cash only, with available ATM. Cheap and delicious. Moon Donuts gets donuts right. 5 Stars. read more

Not a big donut fan, but I have to admit that the doughy treats at Moon Donuts are pretty darn good!! I think that the secret is in the oil! After talking to the owners several times, I have learned that they use a high quality cooking oil and change it often. Thus, no greasy aftertaste. That has always been one of the main reasons why I don't eat'em. So if you are like me, this is the place to go. They are known for their blueberry, honey wheat, glazed, and apple fritters. Personally, I LOVE the apple fritters as they are crispy on the outside but doughy and full of apples in the inside. A perfect combination!! Their coffee is brewed fresh all day. They also offer orange juice, hot chocolate, and sodas. They also offer croissants and bagels w/cream cheese. This is a really nice family owned donut shop that makes great donuts, is ALWAYS immaculate, and treats their customers like family. Worth paying them a visit... Enjoy! read more

A really sweet spot for donuts! The cake donut (especially blueberry flavor) has the perfect texture with crispy glaze and moist insides. The apple fritter is one of my favs cause of the crunch, and semi toasty smokey flavor (not sure if it's intentional but loved it), kinda like a maple bourbon hint. read more

There are bouts of time when I would limit my carb intake due to my trying to shed some pounds as I'm working out and trying to watch what I eat. But when I do have that overpowering craving for some sweet carbs of pure decadence, I know where I can go to satisfy my craving--Moon's Donuts. I've stopped in and out of this doughnut shop over the last decade now. It is a mom and pop shop and they bake their doughnuts fresh daily! It's located in a corner mini-mall and the doughnuts are seriously thick and fluffy, not like the wimpy poor excuse of a doughnut that Krispy Kreme hawks! The ambiance is bright and cozy and they offer the traditional assortment of treats sold in most doughnut shops as well as croissants and muffins. For beverages, you can get coffee, teas, milk, juices, hot cocoa and even cappuccino! They also serve various fruit flavors of ice blended drinks for $3.00. A dozen doughnuts will set you back $7.00 and is discounted to $4.99 after 1:00 p.m. daily. I discovered from Jenny, the co-owner that they were voted 1st Place in the Southbay as a doughnut shop by the Daily Breeze newspaper. They are a friendly store and have counter seating for eating in and many regulars came in and were addressed on a first-name basis. They've been in business for 21 years and I even met Carl, a patron who the owner said had been frequenting the store now for 21 years!!! If you're ever in the area and have a craving for a sweet snack, check out Moons' as they are open from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day except Sunday when they close at 1:00 p.m. read more

Best donuts I have ever tasted 10/10 , whole hour from my place but it's worth the trip

95 cents will get you this nice fat, creme-filled fluff of a chocolate glazed donut. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/moon-donuts-redondo-beach?select=ioy7X8p_ZJMndERHbXpUcw#ioy7X8p_ZJMndERHbXpUcw Pluses! + FAT DONUTS! + Lots of custard filling. If you bite into dough, rotate the donut around to find the filling. There's a whole bunch, just sometimes congregated on one side. +Quick service and no tax! Neutral: prices are reasonable; not overpriced Minuses! - Cash only. I never have cash. - The donuts to be very honest look ordinary and not very appealing. - I still like Krispy Kreme's creme filling better (best) read more

Moon Donuts - Chocolate top donut with custard filling - Donuts Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I stopped by at 5:00am last Friday on the way to the fishing pier, I was surprised they were open! I am guessing the nice gentleman behind the counter was the owner, he was very nice and friendly, he said they open at 4:00am! The donuts were fresh and delicious, and everyone loved them. Great to find a nice mom and pop shop that I can go to for early morning donuts. read more

Always like their donuts and disappointed when they frequently run out of glazed. But their coffee is nothing to brag about. I usually come just for the donuts but last time I got a large coffee to go and was very disappointed. It smelled bad and tasted worse and I finally pulled over and spilled it out. So I'll stick to their fresh donuts. read more

Wow these donuts are super soft and Doughy and Delicious they have fresh juices Boba tea and decaf coffee it's a one stop shop for a quick little morning pick me up. Plus super friendly service read more

I always see a line out the door so I had to try it. Ordered 6 donuts: blueberry, Nutella, custard filled, Oreo, fruit loop, and maple bacon. Total came to $12.50. The maple bacon was the best out of all of them. They put a lot of the bacon on top, and the bacon had a nice sweetness to it. I love filled donuts and the custard filled was very lacking. There was barely any custard filling in it. Definitely less than a table spoon. The dough itself for all the donuts were nice and fluffy, but dry. Other than the maple bacon, I wouldn't order any of the other donuts again. Giving them 4 stars for donut appearance and friendly customer service. But would give less stars for actual taste. I didn't try any of the sandwiches. read more

I love this donut shop they're always so kind and cheerful each visit. I usually come to pick up some donuts for coworkers early in the morning and they are still very cheerful during those early hours. Not just that they're donuts are fresh and my coworkers love them - I usually request a mixture of whatever they choose and they even include a few of their fancy ones like the bacon maple donut and one sprinkled of fruit loop. read more
