LA has no shortage of donut shops in every neighborhood, so when we moved back to South Bay I was excited to figure out which donut shop would become *our* donut shop. It's Moon, and I don't even need to bother entertaining elsewhere. I rolled in at 8:00 on a Saturday morning to fully stocked display cases and didn't even have to wait in line. That's insane. Normally if you want your pick of the full menu you've gotta get up before the sun and haul it to beat the crowd. The guy at the counter is so cute! Every time I made a choice, he'd say, "Oooh fire" or "So goood" or "it's daaank." I love employees who have fun with their job, and aren't afraid to show their personality while interacting with customers. That kind of experience always makes me want to come back. These are the best donuts I've ever had. Super light, fluffy, not overly sweet, and in so many unique flavors! The Dubai and the Thai Tea were my favorite, only because I've never had anything like those before. Truly unique! I've never paid $45 for a dozen donuts in my life, but damn this is so, so worth it. These are an absolute treat.
This was my go to place for Apple Fritters but I'm now rethinking that choice. Still brisk business here and they feature more fancy donuts above all else. The price of an apple fritters has gone up while the size has decreased. I guess inflation hits us all. Ok, but.
I had a taste for doughnuts and this one was highly recommended! As it was close to where I was working, I decided to pop into this shop. The shop features traditional doughnuts as well as fancy doughnuts. The selection of doughnuts is vast. Plus they offer a selection of drinks to enjoy with your doughnuts. The doughnuts come in a super cute box designed for doughnuts. We enjoyed the traditional doughnuts with sprinkles. The staff at the bakery were super friendly and patient with us as it was our first time visiting. There is a parking lot that offers free parking.
Cute small shop - good donuts. Our ham and cheese croissant and 2 donuts was $10. No wait at 6:30am and they have a parking lot. Shop seems clean.
Fly me to the moon....Moon Donuts that is! A local gem in Redondo Beach in tiny strip mall on Torrance Blvd. Stopped by on a Sunday morning because I wanted to get two bagels with cream cheese. A few customers were ahead of me and the guy at the counter took care of them quickly. Lots of choices from standard, typical donuts to specialty ones as well as savory croissants and sandwiches. Check out my photos of donuts! I was here on Super Bowl Sunday morning and they had football donuts. At the cold beverages counter there were also many plastic to go cups filled with OJ. Appeared to be freshly squeezed that AM. Will likely return to try a cup another time. Customer service was kind and efficient. A dear late friend that lived near here used to be a regular at Moon Donuts. It's a solid 4 stars for Moon!
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.
Too Good To Go App Review I found this place while searching online for a quick snack to bring my partner at work. I originally planned on getting just two or three donuts, but I ended up leaving with a whole bag because everything looked so good! These aren't your average donuts..they're creative, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Even hours later, or even the next day, they still taste amazing. A few seconds in the microwave or air fryer makes them taste almost fresh again. There were so many donuts that my partner ended up sharing them with his coworkers, and they were a huge hit. It was nice knowing more people got to try them, especially since they all live nearby while we don't. Anyone I know who lives in that area will definitely be getting my recommendation. The customer service has been excellent both times I've visited. I've gone once during a busy rush and once when it was slow, and the service was just as friendly and efficient each time. I even asked the staff for their favorite flavors, and they were happy to share recommendations. I'll definitely be back for him to try more flavors. If you're looking for unique, high-quality donuts with amazing customer service, I highly recommend this place. It's easily one of the best donut shops I've found in the area.
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!
Love their regular donuts. Light and fluffy. We went around noon and there weren't a lot of the regular donuts left. There were plenty of specialty ones left tho. I've tried the specialty ones before and they were a lil mediocre but the designs on them are nice and eye catching. If you go with a child, they give out one donut hole for free.

Moon donuts is so great. The place is cute, not large. It is very clean and parking is easy and free. It is located in Redondo Beach which is a lovely area. We were going to have lunch after getting donuts to go, but their food looked so good we stayed there and ate inside--still taking our dozen home. The food is so much better than any donut shop I have been to. We decided to get several things and share. We had a bacon, omelet and cheese croissant and the croissant was perfect. It was light and fluffy and freshly made. The egg omelet and bacon were perfect. We loved their egg, hash browns and cheese burrito. It was so yummy. Their sausage, egg and cheese bagel was on a fresh egg bagel and was ever so good. We all had coffee which also was great. I never thought I would find such a great lunch at a donut shop. Their donuts are so good. They have a huge selection and if you order in advance you can have them make Happy Birthday donuts with the name spelled out on several donuts or whatever you want. It is such a great idea. I don't care for fritters, but my grandson does and he declared this the best fritter he ever had. Their glazed donuts are soft and fresh. They also make some of the cutest donuts with little animals on them and you can even get frosted cheerios on a donut. They also have all the donuts you would expect at any good donut shop. The service is really nice and they get your food order right the first time. We will be back. read more

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. read more

I went to Moon Donuts last night and even though it was 9 'o clock at night the donuts were soft and fresh. I picked out a dozen and a half and these were delicious. The assortment was overwhelming and it was difficult to choose, but they had my favorites. Fresh donuts abd hot coffee t might are a good thing. This place is in a mini strips mall with minimal parking. The lady was very friendly and helped me figure out a future visit for their special "Birthday Donuts". This is your standard donut shop, no special decor, but the donuts are what you come for. read more

Hands down best donuts ever! I'm not a donut person and man these are good! We came 3 times in 1 week! My favorite are the matcha and the strawberry Nutella donuts! So good! They are so nice there and make the matcha fresh just have to wait a bit but who wouldn't a wait a bit for fresh donuts?! Well worth the wait!! I highly, highly recommend!! read more

Some of the best donuts in the area! Parking is great and the workers are very friendly and fast with service. This location is always busy in the morning. My personal favorite is the Denver Omelette Croissant which comes with a choice of micro greens and jalapeños (BOMB)! A lot of my friends say their Vietnamese coffee is amazing too so I will have to try that out! But a donut place that deserves a high rating! Insta: Lovingyourtaste read more

My friends have been telling me about Moon Donuts but since I usually buy donuts for work I have never been this way because it's the opposite direction from work. This week I'm on staycation so why not enjoy it with yummy fried foods high in calories? Moon donuts is really close to my house in a small plaza. There's plenty of parking and since most of the stores aren't dine in, people come and go. We were lucky when we arrived there were only two customers in front of us because soon it was totally packed to overflowing. The donuts there are so pretty. My LO wanted the pick donut with gummy bears on top. My friend recommended the Apple fritter which is my favorite donut. I also ordered the croissant #1 which has bacon, cheese and eggs. I also ordered the hot tarp milk latte. Service is quick. We didn't wait too long for our sandwich and latte. The Apple fritter is solid and a good size to feed five people or for one person to eat for two days. I really enjoyed the croissant sandwich. How do they get the egg so fluffy? The taro milk latte is yummy but too sweet for my tastes I'm not a donut gal but I would come back for the sandwiches. read more

Came here on Father's Day. Ordered half dozen and 2 iced coffee and it was 30$ that alone is ridiculous. Then before I had the chance to give any kind of directions on my order she goes into the back and gives us two iced coffe with milk and a crap ton of sweetener in it. We both don't drink milk or use any sweetener. I ask if they can make it again with just iced coffee. She says no, that I have to tell her before hand and to drink some so that she can pour more coffee. I declined as again I don't drink milk or sweetener so drinking a little bit to make room wouldn't be an option. I took the drinks and left. My dad was extremly disappointed. The coffees turned out to be over priced and not consumable. As for the donuts they look mediocre. But not excited to try them after that interaction. How much could it have cost to pour 2 new iced coffees? Or even to stop to ask us if we want milk or sugar included. Oh well won't be back. read more

Incredible assortment of donuts with crowd pleasing options and unique ones! Everything was fresh and delicious, and the lady was kind enough to throw in an extra. There is a very small note on the menu that each specialty donut adds a $1.95 to the assortment price and that stacks up very quickly, so be vigilant with your choices. They're open late and have plenty of parking with a clean friendly storefront. read more

The good: I'm over the moon for Moon Donuts! I ordered customized letter donuts that read "Here Comes the Son" for my baby shower. It was easy to order through Instagram and was around $53. They were very flexible and asked for my design ideas and inspo. The donuts were tasty and not overly sweet. They were light and not heavy in oil nor did they have too much frosting. I look forward to ordering from them again. The bad: They weren't always the most responsive thru IG. I wish they had an online ordering form. I was hoping they'd incorporate "Sun" shapes or theme a little more than just the color scheme but I think next time I'll just be more specific. The interesting: I ordered donuts for the day after national donut day! read more

A half dozen of donuts costs $10. Overpriced. There are fancy donuts like Cookie Monster, colorful cornflakes sprinkle etc but I only picked simple ones for to go. Donuts I got were not so different from other reasonable priced donuts. I might try fancy ones next time but I'm not sure. Plenty of parking and some delivery options as well. read more

Stopped in quickly one morning to bring donuts to my office. They were beautiful but hella mid and it cost me $60. I don't normally eat donuts so maybe that's normal or maybe it is inflation but that seems like a lot for one dozen donuts. If you're seeking aesthetic more than taste, this your place! read more
You walk into this unsuspecting adorable donut shop and at first glance you say, I'll take them all!! They look so delicious and perfect. So plump and colorful. So delicious. I am supposed to be on a diet but wow. They're so friendly too! read more

My boss brought the chocolate sprinkles one to the office and I immediately went after work to buy half a dozen! Out of the ones I got, the chocolate, cookie monster, white heart sprinkles, and coffee were amazing! 10/10! Unfortunately, the ube crumb and taro fell short. They tasted mostly like blue food coloring frosting and not like taro or ube at all. A bit disappointing but at least the others were delicious! They dont keep as well second day, but freshly baked they are the best donuts I've ever had! Nice and fluffy and not too sweet. They're reminiscent of native fry bread. Highly recommend! But stay away from the colored frosting as they tend to taste like food coloring. read more
Busy donut shop. I come here since it's very close to my house. Plus, the donut selection is massive! I like their Vietnamese iced coffee. Not too sweet. Made perfect for my liking. Nice neighborhood ma & pa shop. Parking lot is small however. read more
Hmmm... I drove a half hour out of my way because this place had such rave reviews. What a letdown. The shop was on a corner and the building green which stood out as easy to find. The doors were literally open giving off a friendly vibe. Donuts were colorful and plentiful and visually appealing. I got half a dozen (4 glazed and 2 specialty). The guy working said $8.75 but when I went to pay with credit card he mumbles how they prefer cash. So I attempted to pay in cash but only had $5-6 so said sorry and sheepishly stuck my card back out. He then says "oh not $8.75 its $8.95 plus extra charge for cc fee so $9.45". Whatever bleh. I was still excited hoping they taste good because then I have my new shop as I love to bring donuts for kids events. I judge based on glazed donuts and I'm sorry but it was awful. I didn't even finish it. read more

So many different flavors of donuts - flavors with cute designs on each of them! I love their selection of breakfast burritos and croissants! You get so much value in whatever you get here :) Service is quick since they have a lot of people there to take care of you - so service is great! They keep the place very clean and its a quaint spot. I can see lines go out the door and its in a strip mall area, but there's strip mall parking and street parking. Definitely recommend! read more

Mmmmmm... donuts! So deliciously tasty. Wide variety. Small little shop in a little plaza in Redondo Beach. There's a small parking lot with free parking. Arrive early on weekends to avoid standing in a long line. Delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. This donut shop is a hidden gem for locals and a must try! read more
Local donut shop in the small strip mall. Parking is limited but the turnover is high you probably will find a spot soon enough. Cambodian owner makes various donuts. I saw the Thai tea donut and asked where they are from. They do try to update their menu to include new things like cronuts, UBE and such. They did not have a lot of fancy cronuts left but I liked the Nutella cronut. I am a Danish fan so I probably preferred a regular Danish as it is lighter but I would love to try their fancy cronuts next time I'd they have any left! Blueberry cheesecake one or the strawberry with whipped cream looked pretty but a gentleman waiting behind me really wanted them and I kind of felt bad and let him order those. Apple fritter is in a generous portion and the hint of cinnamon is nice but I would prefer other kinds here. They have many different kinds so pick your favorite! Overal quality was good but the pricing on Yelp seems much lower than what the menu is. If you preorder, you could get letter donuts like HAPPY BIRTHDAY ie shape of an H. That would be a fun way to surprise the birthday boy/girl! We didn't need any drinks but you could also order drinks like boba here along with donuts. No seating. We dropped by as we we're waiting for our friends at Hainan chicken sharing the same parking lot. read more

Best donut shop around!! Last minute, I was looking for a desert to take to work the following morning. Automatically I thought of cupcakes but then remembered moon donuts offered happy birthday donuts. I texted them at 6pm to hopefully get donuts for the next morning at 7:20am. They were very nice and took my order. Everyone in the office enjoyed them. Will definitely be doing donuts moving forward. Loved them read more

My daughter was so excited to try this places donuts. When she bit into it, she saw this big long hair in it. We didn't have time to go back because we went on vacation. We took a photo of the hairy donut and called to ask if we could get our money back ($6.00) for the donut. They wanted the physical donut or would do nothing. I explained that we didn't have the donut and just the picture. The lady started screaming and yelling at me, "saying no donut no refund and that she didn't care about me". I let her know I'd be placing this review and she screamed at me that she didn't care. This place needs some customer service training and how to work with customers and maybe wear some hair nets so hair isn't in the food. read more
