50 Best Donuts near Encino

“Most of the time I'm in and out. Rarely do I sit there but sometimes. The staff is usually friendly and helpful. The place is clean. There have been 2 or 3 times where something is weird and they don't let you sit when they're open for another 90 minutes but I get my stuff and leave. Then I use the permanent outdoor seating. I go frequently for the refreshers ( & for the occasional donut that is never GF :0 )“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“Blinkies Powdered Sugar, Glazed, and Chocolate Frosted donuts are the best in the country. Not county, COUNTRY. They are fluffy, light, and packed with flavor - like eating a delicious cloud. I now live in Boston and we have nothing close. Every time I fly to LA I make a point to drive to Blinkies - no matter how far out of the way. And they are big, too. They haven't succumbed to shrinkflation. Miss you, Blinkies!“

“Very easy menu. Very clean and a good experience overall. Lots of Pikachu there too. I got their 2 donuts that are Vegan. The lemonade is really good. There something sweet and citrus at the bottom.“

“I've been coming here for the last 4 years and it feels like home. Debbie is literally the most caring person I've ever met and they truly care of their customers. My husband and I come here pretty much every weekend and get sandwiches and iced coffees. The prices are good and the food is delicious. This is a neighborhood staple and you will return!“

“Mike at Mama Donuts decorated our donuts as a turntable for our daughter’s 50th birthday. It was a vinyl record party theme! The donuts were amazing! The decor, the taste. They fit the theme and they were scrumptious. Mike was so great! He was responsive and his customer service was excellent. I highly recommend Mama’s Donuts whenever you want donuts!“

“The selection is off the charts! 📊 open 24 seven and the #21 is to absolutely die for! 😈 can’t wait to try the rest of their stuff!!!!!! Thanks“

“Best Donuts and Best Sandwiches in town. I love this place. Sandwiches are the Best I ever have. Donuts is really good flavor. I recommend this place for everyone to try. They serve all day breakfast, lunch, dinner. You can call order and pickup fast and easy if you don’t have time.“

“Hidden gem! Can’t believe this place has been so close to me this whole time!

My friend and I wanted some breakfast sandwiches after a nice hike. This area can be pretty pricey so my friend decided to look up a nearby donut spot and we hit the jackpot. Good coffee, fresh and healthy juice, and great sandwiches that didn’t break the bank. Also got some donuts to go for my husband and he loved them! Will definitely be back.“

“Small family run shop. Solid donuts and solid breakfast sandwiches. We live in the neighborhood and come here often.

Note there is not a lot of seating inside so it’s more of a grab and go. There are a few seats outside.“

“fresh donuts made in house!! can't beat that..“

“Donut and breakfast sandwich spot, I love this place and make sure I always come here after a wild night because it's the perfect type of greasyness for a hangover haha

The sandwiches are as big as my head, they don't skimp out on ingredients“

“Had the best experience coming here for the first time! The young man that helped my family and I was very nice and generous. On top of that, the quality of the chicken sandwich, breakfast burrito, orange juice and the fluffy donuts were top notch.
We’ll definitely be going back for more! 🍩“

“best doughnuts in my life“

“I go there every day I used to go for Mr Coffee and donut then one day I was treated to a tuna sandwich and I must say it was delicious and the amount of tuna they put on your sandwich is ridiculous, you almost want to tell him not to put on so much meat let the price they charge for the tuna sandwich makes me keep my mouth shut LOL nice ladies good place to go“

“This is my go-to spot for soft, perfectly glazed donuts and hot, freshly made, delicious breakfast sandwiches. The owner is incredibly courteous and friendly, and the shop is always clean. You know it's a local favorite by the endless stream of regular customers, and she greets each and every one of them as they come through the door, remembering everyone's favorites. The donut holes are amazing too. Best I've ever had!“

“I was in the mood for some donuts last night and I stopped by around 5 pm. Was greeted really warmly and ordered a dozen donuts to go. The entire atmosphere was very comforting and the staff were very kind. The donuts smelled very fragrant and warm. When I got home I had a raspberry jelly donut and I was absolutely blown away. I have NEVER tasted such a perfect donut in my entire donut eating life lol. The donut had a perfect amount of glaze, the raspberry jelly was sweet and tasted fairly real (not artificial) and the donut was super soft and delicious. I highly recommend checking them out.“

“The cafe is clean and inviting. The gentleman behind the counter was more than helpful with my indecisive questions. The food was well priced and delicious. I recomend the Vietnamese coffee its strong, doesn't taste burnt, or watered down. It's not too sweet, either.“

“I was feeling adventurous so I decided to explore DC Donut's coffee menu. First I ordered a Vanilla Frappucino. It was really good, better than Paris Baguette and larger (24 ounce I believe). It comes with two shots of espresso and tastes like coffee. Much better than Starbucks who doesn't even give you a shot in their Frappucinos anymore. My next visit, I thought the coffee was so good in that Frappucino, so I ordered an americano just to see how good the coffee itself was. They are using Gavina beans (not third wave), so there was no fruitiness, but people who like their coffee to taste like coffee (dark roast) should be satisfied. A small americano is just $2.75. For the espresso snobs, they are using a Casadio Undici espresso machine. I will definitely be coming back for another Vanilla Frappucino!“

“Get ready TOMORROW 7/13 is Dulcet Gourmet Donut Day ...

“Excellent food and friendly staff. This place is the best.“

“I had a taste for some donuts and had seen this place heading home. Well this morning I went over there to check it out. The visit was quick, the service was prompt and the staff was very friendly. There’s not a a lot of room inside, and while you could sit there and eat, you’re probably better off walking out with a box. Also the parking lot is quite small, so maybe there’s 6-7 parking spots.“

“The donuts are delicious & fresh! The owner & staff are soo freindly! They also have a variety of other pastry & fresh squeezed oj! Luv the donut queen shop!“

“A simple, family-run donut shop that I have been coming to for my entire life. The staff treats you like family, and the donuts are the best in Los Angeles. The Maple Bar, Apple Fritter, and cinnamon roll are stand outs.

To me, this is benchmark I compare all in the city to, and when compared to Miss Donuts, pretty much all fall short. Don't sleep on this hidden gem.“

“Woww some of the best donuts in all of Los Angeles and maybe the world!! All the donuts are incredible! The original glazed, jelly filled, icing with sprinkles, maple bars with chocolate chips on them!! There are so many great flavors you’ll have to get a dozen! Shonna is super friendly and helpful. One of the nicer ladies I’ve encountered at a donut shop. This place is a true LA institution. Definitely check out next time you’re by Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd!“

“The best tasting egg, ham, cheese, bacon, AND sausage croissant sandwich I have ever tasted in Los Angeles!!! It's been years since I had any kind of croissant sandwich, so why not go for the whole sha-bang!!! And to wash it down with iced Vietnamese coffee?!?!?! Say what????? I thought I had to drive all the way down to Little Saigon in the OC for my dose of Vietnamese coffee, but nope, they brewed it here fresh to order with their cool espresso machine and mixed it with real condensed milk in the perfect amount without it being overly sweet. The coffee is very strong, just as how Vietnamese style coffee should be--such an unexpected, authentic tasting experience! LOVE IT!!! If I'm in this neighborhood again, definitely dropping by for this wake-me-up breakfast!!!“

“Great donuts , coffee and bobas family owned super nice family ❤️🙏🏻“

“we get donuts pretty often at my work, and the donuts i get from jolly donuts seem to be everybody's favorite. that said the donuts are more expensive than other similar mom and pop donut shops, its easy to spend more than you anticipated.“

“Yesterday, I bought a mixed of donuts and came to my surprise, they put a big cinnamon roll, big apple fritter, a cookie monster, a minion, 3 crullers, 3 misc glazed, 1 pink sprinkled cake, and 5 donut holes. All were fresh and moist. Great quality and customer service!“

“This is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving donuts before work in the morning. The staff are incredibly nice, and the donuts are delicious. I've never had an issue in terms of wait times or quality, especially when in a rush. They have reasonable prices and are also very efficient when it comes to preorders, which I am thankful for. All in all, this is a great donut shop whenever you are in the area.“

“Good place and good service“

“THEE best donuts, not greasy or oily, fluffy, not too sweet, airy. i've been coming here for over 15 years and they have been consistent every time. If I bring anyone a donut from here they ask where they're from! Sweetest couple runs it, very mom and pop classic donut shop. Make the drive if you're not close by, it's so worth it. I almost don't even want to mention their carrot cake because it's the absolute best and it already sells out but get it if you can! Very LAUSD coffee cake adjacent, soooo delicious.“

“We love Donut & Sandwich Station. The staff is awesome and they always have the best fresh sandwiches. Another great thing they sell are papusas and the cortido and salsa that comes with the papusas is deeeee-licious! I love their croissant sandwiches. They're so fresh and the sandwiches come with pickles, jalapenos, lettuce and tomatoes. I usually get no tomatoes because I'm allergic to tomatoes. Definitely a great place to come and grab a bite to eat!

I would place captions to my photos but every time I do, nothing is saved. This has been an issue for more than a few years with Google Maps.

“This place has, by a wide margin, the best donuts I've ever had in my life. The rest of the food is also really great, and I've never had an item from them that wasn't fantastic. They're super friendly, and all around it's just the tops.“

“I go there almost on the daily to buy a Black Milk tea with soy and boba, outstanding staff and service.“

“It's been awhile since I've been here due to the pandemic. I've always stopped in after finishing my laundry in the little shopping plaza. Today was no exception, and man... it's as good as I remembered. Ordered my usual turkey & ham croissant (everything on it) with some OJ. This huge baked croissant filled with cheese, jalapeño and ham caught my eye, so I also got that to go. The sweet owner threw in a free donut as well! Took them home to enjoy. Fresh, comforting and delicious ♡.“

“visiting LA from NYC and enjoyed trying out the west donuts! the buttermilk donut has a really nice crumb and the perfect glaze, and the yeast donuts are fluffy and soft. the clerk was friendly and helpful, and the price was super affordable 🫶“

“This is the best place in the valley, I was a regular here for a couple years I’d say especially the last year before I moved. I had moved and had not been back for 4 months. I came in and started ordering my usual and the owner finished my order for me. And then said long time no see. Service is incredible they are very kind people and I have seen them deal with some very annoying people at times. The donuts are great the number 7 sandwich is amazing and the strawberry banana smoothie with boba is my go
To. Please support them times are hard for business right now and they deserve all
The support.“

“When I first went to Yum-Rich Donuts couple of years ago, what impressed me the most was the mannerisms of ownership. It's rare that you cross paths where a business owner/s truly care about people over profits. That is the case here.Couple of months ago, ownership change hands.Jury is still out at the moment.Had a Maple old fashion Donut...??“

“I absolutely love the people who work here, they always have bright smiles and positive attitudes, and the place has so many good varieties of different sandwiches to choose from! I’ve came here many times and the food never disappoints! So worth it!“

“USA Donuts is my go-to spot when I want something quick and sweet Their donuts are super fresh and the glaze is just right not too sweet or too sticky I love the variety too from classic glazed to fun filled ones like jelly or cream They don’t have a fancy vibe but that’s what makes it feel real and local The staff is friendly and quick even when it gets busy Prices are affordable which is always a plus Definitely recommend if you’re craving a donut fix“

“The owner was getting ready to close but was kind enough to make me a croissant breakfast sandwich with turkey. It was fabulous! He toasted the croissant 🥐 and the sandwich was still warm when I got home. Reasonably priced and highly recommend! Thank you 👍😊“

“I absolutely love Star Donut! Every visit is a delightful experience. Their donuts are always fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet, with a great variety to choose from. The glazed and maple bars are my personal favorites, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of their options.

Beyond the donuts, the shop offers a nice selection of sandwiches, boba tea, and smoothies—perfect for a quick lunch or snack. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making the atmosphere warm and inviting.

It’s also worth noting that their prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee and donut on the go or sitting down to enjoy your treat, Star Donut is a gem in Reseda. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area!“

“The store is small so if 3 or more people are inside feels a little cramped.. The donuts are fresh and tasty. The coffee is good as well.. The proprietor is extremely friendly and makes you feel welcome. Unfortunately cannot say the same about his assistant. Still enjoy stopping in whenever in the area in the morning.“

“I stopped by this donut shop this morning to get some donuts while I was in the shopping center. I came in the early morning so I found parking in the front. I got two glazed donuts and two chocolate glaze donuts. They charge a credit card fee here but it's not a lot. They also have limited seating area here as well. The donuts were okay, I like the chocolate glazed more than the original.“

“This is my local donut shop that is within walking/biking distance. I’ve been able to reliably pick up the freshest, most delicious donuts from this location. I would highly recommend grabbing yourself a breakfast croissant with egg and cheese with whatever breakfast meat you’d like. Uniquely their lunches are delicious. There’s a ham and cheese sandwich that’s on the menu that’s huge with fresh veggies on a soft fresh roll. The drink selection is huge. Shakes, boba, slush, it’s all here and delicious. Mainly this place is quintessential Los Angeles. The owner is friendly works day in and day out to improve and upkeep his business and it really shows. Please come here and try anything, you will be amazed!!“

“The donuts were delicious, the drinks were refreshing, and best of all the korean corn dogs were out of this world! The service was alright and there were no issues. The atmosphere is cozy but small but still nothing wrong with it. Deserves 5 stars! You must go to this place, totally worth the 30 minute drive.“

“fresh pressed juice make daily and kolache“

“Friendly service and considerate donut dispenser.

We bought 3 donuts and each one was good even though it waa already late in the afternoon.

Not sure if this is normal, but we got surprise donut holes for each donut! Bonus!“
