    It is a very clean place and also very small, but it does have some seating for eating your donut there. The service is good very friendly and very nice as far as the donuts are concerned I don't eat donuts but I did go and pick some up for people who do and they said that the donuts were very soft and delicious. Please Note - There is an additional 50 Cent charge if you choose to use your debit or credit card for making your purchases here.

    After recently moving to Redondo Beach, I am happy to have found my go to donut place! Been here quite a few times, and the donuts are always fresh, and on point. It's a humble, no thrills type of space, but you can't beat the service and the quality. The owner is super friendly, welcoming, and personable! He has a kind, upbeat personality, and always helpful. The donuts itself are not the super fancy schmancy kind, but you can find all the classics. My family's favs: the twist and the apple fritter. The donuts are soft and fluffy - just like the clouds you land on, when you enter heaven with your 1st bite. But really, prices are super reasonable - c'mon, a dozen donut holes for less than $2, and a half dozen for less than $10. This is a special local Redondo Beach spot! Come early-ish for the best selection of donuts (as some types sell out fast). It's the real deal for the best donuts in town, with the most delightful customer service!

    I don't eat lots of donuts, but occasionally I'll pick some up for the family. I've been to Niko's Donuts a few times and he's so friendly and his donuts are fresh and tasty. Personally, the mean reviews of stale donuts and an unfriendly Niko seem far fetched as I've never experienced anything close. Could the shop use a little scrubbing? Sure. I appreciate Niko's efforts to keep a small business in the neighborhood. I like his donuts and friendliness too. 4 stars

    There is a smiling man working the cash register, serving customers, and making the donuts all by himself. He is a very kind person. This shop has many repeat customers. Both the donuts and coffee are delicious and reasonably priced. Thank you as always for your friendly service and delicious donuts. We will continue to happily buy from you to support your store.

    My daughter wanted to bring donuts to school for her class and her teachers. I noticed Niko's Donuts was close to her school, so we checked it out this morning. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed when I walked in. It looked very run down and dirty. The floors were dirty, the counters were dirty, and the place definitely needs a good clean and some upgrades. I wanted to turn around and leave, but I didn't want to disappoint my daughter. We ordered two dozen glazed donuts, and I also got a chocolate twist for me. Unfortunately, my donut was eh.. I felt like it wasn't very fluffy; it had too much chocolate and not enough dough. I couldn't even finish it. The guy that helped us was friendly and had a great upbeat personality. But unfortunately, the place needs a lot of work and needs to be cleaned. It needs to be inviting and welcoming as well.

    Still warm, got it at 6:30 am

    Freshly baked hot croissants, the best! Forget Sweet Wheat Old Fashioned Donuts Fresh, Blueberry doughnuts Great service, too.

    Jury's still out...I didn't see any plain donuts (my favorite) so typical fancies will have to do.

    Plain cake donuts. A simple specimen but they're my favorite. I didn't see any plain cake at Niko's but that's okay, he had my other family favorites and 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Niko's is in my neighborhood and more often than not convenience wins over taste as it did on this day. Niko's is a decent donut shop - it'll satisfy your craving. Fresh tasting and easily gobbled up by family and anyone who stops by for gabbing, coffee or weeding in the garden. For me half the fun of a donut run is the ability to take a photo of the boxed donuts themselves. Not sure why a photo of donuts satisfies the way it does. Kind of like an apple pie or a stack of pancakes. And heck, photos don't cost your wallet or waist (if you worry about such things). With so many donut shops in the area, I'll continue to search for my perfect plain cake donut. Until then, I'll keep a fresh pot of Peet's brewing.

    Niko's Donuts is a nice new donut spot on 190th street in Redondo Beach. The moment one steps into this shop; one gets greeted by the friendly owner Niko. There's fresh donuts galore from buttermilk donuts to apple fritters. Weekends also have specialty donuts such as red velvet donuts. Donuts are a $1 each or 1 dozen for $10. They also offer apple fritters for $1.25 and cronuts for $2.25. If you're craving something other than donuts; they've got croissants, chicken bakes and even breakfast burritos! I got to try their apple fritters, buttermilk donut and blueberry donut and everything was definitely delightful. I love that the donuts are fresh. They were also not oily. I'm happy to see a this spot open up. Their donuts are delicious and a can see this place being around for quite some time.

    This location has been a donut shop for a long time, but the current owners are new! And their donuts are great! We had some Glazed donuts, Maple Bars, Crumb Donuts & Cronuts. Definitely the best in this part of town. I really enjoyed all the donuts but my favorite was the Cronut! This is my first time having a Cronut ( I know I'm late to the game on this one LOL ) it was soft and flaky and buttery and sweet oh my. One of my new favorite things for sure :) The service is very friendly and they don't rush you to make up your mind, which is good because Niko's has so many fresh donut options to choose from. They also have a nice selection of coffee drinks and breakfast sandwiches. Niko's operate donut shop hours... 7 days a week, 5am - 2pm. This makes them perfect for a meal before work or school. Or just to take home and graze all day like we did :) Located in a strip mall there is plenty of parking and both the lot and the shop were very clean. Masks and distancing are in full effect for safety.

    I got 2 dozen donuts for my kid's daycare teachers. I was on my way to a chain donut shop and happened to notice this one had good reviews. I uploaded a picture of the menu, with donuts priced reasonably at $1 each or $10 a dozen! Also, to the jackass that came in to the store without a mask while I was being helped, who slammed your cash on the table and demanded a chocolate croissant before me - gross, just gross. I am judging you. I got some extra donuts for myself and it was fluffy and good. I would come back. But you might need a bigger sign that says the obvious - NO CLASS, NO SERVICE.

    So many choices and lots in stock at 8am! Plus we got a breakfast burrito and a ham & cheese croissant! #makesmewander

During my freebies birthday run yesterday, I was planning on going to Old Ferry Donut after picking up a boba next door, only to find the shop closed. \(`0´)/ Known for unique flavors & vibrant retro-pop 70s branding (cute hamster mascot with bold orange & brilliant blue colors; it's featured on 2-/4-donut boxes), this Korean-inspired premium donut shop originated in Seoul a decade ago before expanding to several S. CA locations, opening in Torrance a couple of years ago. OFD's donuts are popular for its rich creams & chewy dough; Butter Pistachio & Crème Brûlée are just 2 of their signature flavors. I was going through a donut phase when I initially stopped by Old Ferry Donut. Large windows let lots of light in, & once you step across the threshold, you're hit with a strong K-pop vibe & loud music. They even had a collab with SEVENTEEN last fall during their tour with 2 flavors: Marble Strawberry & Blue Coconut! Unlike the regular mom & pop's or commercialized donut shops, they don't offer a discounted 1/2 or full dozen box. After asking what's their most popular picks, I chose Butter Pistachio & Crème Brûlée, & added Lemon Poppyseed & Raspberry Ring for myself, Cookies & Cream & Boston Cream for the kiddos. Service was alright... I didn't need a sales pitch, but would like some info on the donuts to make an informed decision since they're at a premium price even though they're not "freshly made" (every hour or less) like SD&C just down the street. The Butter Pistachio is a major hit... fluffy & light, a slightly chewy yeasty donut stuffed with a mildly sweet whipped pistachio cream filling & topped with a salty-sweet buttery streusel... how can you not be addicted? And totally worth it! Crème Brûlée is also popular for its delicate, crackly caramelized sugar crust & airy brioche dough that's filled with a rich vanilla custard. Good flavor, but maybe on the older side? Since it's been sitting for awhile, it lost that fresh fluffy texture & was kinda dry. I really liked the Lemon Poppyseed; it's right up there with Butter Pistachio. The lemon glaze is just the right amount of sweet & tart, & the donut was fresh & fluffy! The Raspberry Ring is pretty good, matching that sweet & tart of Lemon Poppyseed, but I like the citrus zing of the latter more. What's different is the former has a raspberry jam filling in addition to a glaze & the latter is just a yeast donut with fruity glaze. Kids didn't say much about Cookies & Cream & Boston Cream... I figure you can't go wrong with these flavors. The filling might have been a bit much as I saw the cream oozing out of the donut & onto my LO's face & shirt. His sister was slightly better at containing the custard blob. LOL With premium prices, It's debatable if Old Ferry's donuts are worth it... quality, freshness, & size. Hmmm... I like them & their creative flavors, but they're a tad too sweet & not as "fresh" in comparison to SD&C. Sad to see Old Ferry Donut permanently gone from the South Bay, but they still have locations in San Gabriel & Buena Park if you're willing to take a drive. Recommended: Boston Cream $3.95 Butter Pistachio $4.95 Cookies & Cream $3.95 Crème Brûlée $4.95 Lemon Poppyseed $3.95 Raspberry Ring $3.95

    Old Ferry Donut = quick carb win…read more Parking: Easy in the plaza. Vibe: Cute, playful, and totally Instagram-ready--donut display, merch wall, stickered mirrors. Order: Classic glazed--light, not too sweet, filling. Service: Sweet and efficient. Good for: Grab-and-go (seating mostly empty). Why it's trending: Fun branding + community energy = viral charm. Bottom line: Perfect stop if you're nearby and need a donut with personality.

They have two main types of donuts -- super dense and cakey, or lighter and airy. Most are the cakey variety, so if you are into lighter Krispy Kreme type donuts, there won't be many options for you. They have some interesting flavors to choose from. I have tried both the thick, crumbly ones and the lighter variety. Both are high quality, but their cake donuts are just way too dense and chewy for my liking. I did enjoy their light vanilla glazed traditional style donut, but at more than $1/bite, it's not worth it in my opinion. They do have good, made-to-order coffee; iced oat milk latte with a touch of vanilla is my go-to. Props to the staff for keeping the line moving, offering suggestions, and making good drinks. I'm giving 5 stars because there's nothing bad to report, I'm just more of a Krispy Kreme or rundown mom & pop donut shop kinda guy.

If you like blueberry donuts, get this one. Butter & Salt is the perfect sweet+salty donut with a brown butter glaze.
