    Bear Claw. Yes!!
    Nick A.

    I am a donut expert and aficionado. As soon as a donut is in my hand, I have a good idea if it's gonna' be good and if it's worth the calories. What you wanna' look for in a donut or any other donut like variation, such as an apple fritter, bear claw, fried cinnamon roll, etc, is the weight. If if feels heavy, that's generally not good, because it's too oily. The next thing you do is take just one bite and and keep it in your mouth for a bit before swallowing it to get a taste of the oil. If it's oily or stale, you are not getting your calorie/enjoyment ratio which equals to, not worth the calories. I can assure you, the donut creations here are worth the calories and there's no oily taste to be found! I had a bear claw, and it was packed to the gills with apple filling. Holy smokes, was it ever good! My friend had a breakfast sandwich that I had a hard time not stealing from her. It was awesome! They also have an espresso bar and plenty of other things to drink. The prices are on par with any donut shop, which was surprising, because this place is more premium. Parking is plentiful and free, and the staff is awesome! I'm writing this review in October 2025, and it's a soft opening. So far so good!

    The lax burrito
    Jason K.

    A great looking assortment of bagels, donuts, croissants, other baked goods, and breakfast items. Got the LAX burrito and was pretty satisfied with it. Not the most tasty or amazing burrito I've ever had, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. $14 seems like a reasonable price. Service inside was friendly and expedient. Lines can back up to the outside during peak times on weekends. Definitely worth a visit.

    Guava Glazed Donut
    Peter L.

    This Guava Glazed Donut was really dam good. The guava was not to sugary it was perfect. Definitely made in house. If you love glaze donuts please give this a try. The workers were attentive and helpful with any questions I had.

    I discovered this place by accident while I was out on a walk and decided to stop in for a coffee. I'm so glad I did. Everyone working there was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. It instantly felt like one of those neighborhood spots where people genuinely care about their customers. The coffee was excellent, smooth, fresh, and exactly what I needed on my walk. On top of that, the manager, Juan, went out of his way to show genuine hospitality, which truly made my day. Great coffee, great donuts, and even better customer service. I'll definitely be stopping by again and highly recommend checking this place out if you're nearby!

    Perfect place for a rainy day! They have a little bit of everything for everyone. Donuts, bagels and burritos. Definitely going back to try a burritos!

    A great new addition to town. This coffee shop offers a wide selection of donuts, bagels, and coffees, so there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with some indoor and outdoor seating available. I tried their croissant, and it was absolutely amazing--perfectly buttery with just the right flaky texture. Friendly service and fresh offerings make this place well worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

    Donuts
    Tami A.

    Great service. They recommended the apple fritter. My husband said it was one of the best he's had and he's had a few! Pumpkin muffin was delicious. Can't wait to try the rest of the donuts tomorrow morning. Will update the review once we do.

    The glossiest frosting ever seen! Apple fritter, maple long John, chocolate old fashioned, Nutella and strawberry stuffed deliciousness!
    Lori T.

    The most charming bakery just opened a few months ago, with the glossiest frosted donuts I've ever had! Great coffee choices with many syrups to try, and can't wait to try the breakfast burritos! Definitely worth a visit.

    Super yummy donuts

    Amazing food and staff is super friendly. I got the chai latte and the departure. Definitely recommend. Second time here and it won't be my last.

    Picked up 4 dozens Dodgers-themed donuts to celebrate the World Series Champs!  The croissants and vanilla latte are yummy too!
    Grace K.

    Great place with easy parking... and open early, perfect for picking up for school stuff! Bonus: Excited to know they're having "buy six, get 6" deal right now

    Oliver C.

My Daughter is home for…read moreEaster break and I wanted to get something special for her and use some of my Randy's credits that I had. I was super excited that the app offers delivery - but apparently not my address since (I'm guessing) I live just outside of 3 miles from two different Randy's?! So I went with Grubhub this time. Because like I said, once you have the craving for Randy's, you need to see that through. My daughter wanted the Nutella raised, and I also got her the fruity pebbles raised. Chocolate milk will be a fun surprise to go along with those donuts. I preferred something savory and went with jalapeño ham and cheese croissant, which was just the right size and heat. But I was also intensely curious to try the glazed Crondy - so I got one! All the donuts are beautiful, huge and delicious! They hit the spot! So in the end, I didn't get to use the rewards I had earned or earn any new ones, but I still got donuts! I will point out that I've never had any issues ordering with their website that is always super easy and reliable. I hope that whatever is up with the app can be fixed or updated (I didn't even tell you about trying to order ahead yesterday and just pick up). But it says something that we kept trying. These donuts are worth it!

    I can't decide if the taste and texture of these donuts have dramatically changed over the…read moreyears...or have my preferences become more refined? Absent an answer to that question, I will admit donuts in the morning with a cup if my Peet's Coffee is usually a luxury to which I look forward. I knew I would be dropping my bestie at LAX so it wasn't out of the way to stop at Randy's. Like any self respecting lazy shopper, I ordered online the night before. None of the buttermilk/old fashioned options were available for online ordering but (surprise!) all of the buttermilk/old fashioned varieties were abundant in the glass case this morning. What's up with that? I was in the shop promptly at 929am for my confirmed pick-up at 930am. There was a line. Service wasn't speedy, and the chatter at the front of the line wasn't the right optics when you want to grab and go (especially knowing my order was ready). A five minute wait wasn't horrible, nor will it ruin my day. I grabbed the bright orange box that was handed to me and went on my way. At home I poured a fresh cup of piping hot Peet's Coffee, opened the box, snapped a shot and grabbed my most favorite donut of all. The plain. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I judge all donuts by the plain type. If the plain isn't great, no amount of glaze, icing, filling, or fancy toppings will make a donut great. After the first bite, I did not get any sense that this little guy was made fresh early this morning. It didn't taste bad, it just didn't have that fresh pillowy texture I love plain donuts to have. I dunno. Maybe it's me. Maybe donuts are no longer a favorite. Maybe I've had the best and nothing will ever compare. Maybe aliens are among us. Maybe Moon Pies will come back. Good in a pinch, the office crew will dig 'em and let's face it, the nostalgia alone is worth it. Sort of.

It looks like a convenient store standing alone right off the 405 El Segundo exit. A bit dingy looking from outside with its on parking. Once inside it's packed with all kinds of food - donuts, croissants, sandwiches, chips, smoothies, coffee, juices etc. etc. - it's a bit overwhelming. They could definitely improve their interior, it could stand to at least be more orderly. The person behind the counter was warm, friendly and patient. The more I wandered the more I liked it. All in all, I think I'd love to go back and try their juices and other stuff because the dozen donuts we bought were very good and fluffy the way I like them and those who like cakes donuts liked their version too. I really enjoyed their ham and cheese croissant.

My go-to order is the old-fashioned with white icing paired with an iced vanilla latte, and it never disappoints. The donuts are always freshly made in the morning, and the coffee is smooth and flavorful. What really impressed me is the value -- a 24oz iced coffee is only $6, which is incredible considering most places charge that for just a 12oz drink! Beyond donuts and coffee, they have so many snack options -- every type of chips you can imagine, a fridge stocked with energy drinks, juices, Gatorade, and more. They also make freshly squeezed orange juice which tastes amazing, plus hot and ready croissants and sandwiches for when you need something more filling. One thing I do wish is that they had a little more variety in donut options. They've really nailed the basics/classics, but it would be fun to see some new flavors or unique styles here and there . The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I love stopping by here when I'm on the go. Great customer service + delicious food + unbeatable prices = highly recommend

    You doughnut know how much I love croissants!…read more King's Donuts of Hawthorne is my home for the flakey, buttery heaven known as a croissant! Yes, their title does lead one to the shop for their awesome donuts but, for my French pastry loving heart, it's the croissants that bring me back again and again. Both plain AND stuffed croissants are located at this shop, with plain being my go-to favorite. The crescent-shaped, golden-brown pastry has so many delicate layers of bread and butter that I find myself licking my fingers as to not miss a single crumb. They open at 5am which allows me to pick up goodies while they are still warm on my way to run around town. The cost is also lower than several other local spots, making this a double win in my opinion. Staff is kind and dedicated to making your visit an enjoyable one. Greeting customers with a friendly smile seems to always be on the menu! Ambiance is that of a mom & pop bakery which makes me feel welcome at any point in the day. Handicap parking is located just outside the front door, but with a smaller, more limited parking lot. The front door is left open most mornings, allowing for morning bakery smells & aromas to waft through the air. This also helps those who may have trouble opening a heavy door.
