The best donuts ever - Edit
One word-AMAZING! We were visiting California from the UK and this was the one place I had to go to. I ordered from a hotel in LAX and it took uber over an hour to deliver- it was worth it! The fritter seems forever was the best, crispy yet soft followed by the cream filled donut. Will definitely visit again

Apple Fritter!! - Edit
Donut Friend - DTLA
Read moreis always the way - great assortment of flavors and finds including the best Apple Fritter you'll ever find. I pop in before or after meal when in the area.
Open from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM daily.
A beat away from Pershing Square Station, making it very accessible
Fan of their Glazed maple and more seasonal concoctions as well.
Easy layout, though limited seating inside only.
Warm modern decor with faux plants that thrive increase the vibe.
They do get busy with rushes at peak hours, but lines move quickly.
Good beverage options as well.

I couldn't believe how many options there were - it was hard to pick! The lady serving us was very sweet and helpful. She gave us many ice cream samples as well. Would go back 100%

fantastic! - Edit
went near closing, so they didn’t have a ton of options left, but what we had was still delicious! probably the maple “bacon” bar was my fav (the bacon is just toasted coconut), but they were all good, excited to go again and try more options!

Awesome! - Edit
Spectacular donuts. My non-vegan friends couldn't tell them the difference. However, they no longer do DIY. Still worth the trip

Vegan donuts?! - Edit
I haven’t had donuts (that weren’t homemade) since I first went 8 years ago. So many options and so hard to pick! They all looked amazing and taste just as great! Got the rose water, two mochi and a regular pink with sprinkles.

Needs a Michelin Star! - Edit
Never had a better doughnut!
Read moreTracy is the person who served me today, she was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, very friendly, and personable.
I’ve never been to a doughnut shop with such variety of flavors!
The passionfruit was my favorite, I love how tangy it was. If you like sour, you’ll love this one, as well as the lemon one.
The apple fritter is a classic and they did it justice.
My second favorite is tied with the strawberry cream chocolate glaze or the cinnamon crunch topped one. The cinnamon crunch was a bit sweet so definitely have it with a black coffee. The whipped cream is not as sweet as you might imagine, but for me, I love the subtle sweetness paired with the chocolate and strawberry.
My least favorite was the matcha doughnut, but if you love matcha, you’ll probably love the bitterness of it. It may have suited me better if it had been glazed first, and the matcha was more of a ganache.
Totally recommend
Pros: Clean environment, Friendly customer service, Impeccable flavors and quality
Cons: There isn’t one where I live! 😂

Nice - Edit
The ice cream was delicious!! I got their pumpkin one and was the right amount of pumpkin flavor. The donuts were good but not crazy good. My favorites were the mochi donut and the one with whipped cream and strawberries in the middle.

Super Sweet Donut Goodness - Edit
If you know me, you know that I love vegan donuts. And believe me when I say that this is up there with some of the best flavors and widest selections of any donut shop I've ever been to. Nearly every time that I'm in Los Angeles I try to make a stop there to grab a few donuts. My only suggestion: these donuts are SUPER sweet, and I don't recommend having them first thing in the morning! I learned that the hard way.
Read morePros: Selection , Hours
Cons: Sometimes too sweet
