50 Best Donuts near Encino

“This Dunkin was clean and the staff was super friendly and warm. Paloma is a standout amongst the dunkin employees I've met. She is kind, thoughtful, and friendly. This will be dunkin I visit going forward just because of her. The barista behind the counter whose name I didn't catch was also very attentive. Please keep up the excellent customer service.“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“Blinkies is amazing 👏. My favorites are chocolate covered cinnamon rolls with chocolate chips, apple fritters and black and white donuts. Everything is always fresh and the staff are always very nice and kind. Been coming here since 1980s in High school. Thank you special shout out to KC she's so sweet.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“This spot is seriously one of the hidden gems around. The food is ALWAYS fresh, stacked, and made with care. Look at this sandwich, thick egg, fresh avocado, crisp vegetables, quality bread, everything balanced perfectly. You can tell they don’t cut corners here.

But honestly, the best part is the people. These ladies are some of the kindest workers I’ve met. They actually remember me and my order even if I haven’t been there for weeks, and they always treat me with genuine warmth and respect. That kind of service is rare now. You don’t feel like “just another customer” here.

The shop has that old-school neighborhood feeling where people actually care about their regulars. Great food, great energy, hardworking people, and consistently good service every single time.

If you want a place that deserves support, it’s this one. Much love and respect to the ladies running this shop, you can feel the heart they put into it. 🙏“

“Good place and good service“

“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.“

“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.“

“best doughnuts in my life“

“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! 🍩“

“This is a mom and pop shop run solely by the owner Larry and his wife. They have the best Vietnamese coffee in the whole valley I have searched every nook and cranny and they are the best. The service is amazing im happy to start my day's with a chat with Larry everyday he's the man and support your local shops.“

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

“Mochinut consists of a wide array of unique flavors and shapes of donuts. Every time I go, I always get surprised by a flavor I haven’t noticed before. The donuts are soft and flavorful, the corn dog is crispy on the outside and the cheesy is stretchy, and the boba is perfectly sweetened.“

“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“

“Get ready TOMORROW 7/13 is Dulcet Gourmet Donut Day ... Maiden Community let’s show Kip ,Debbie and Mint our love❤️ It’s a family run business run by their families for over 30 years!!!🍩They are located @ the corner of Platt Avenue and Vanowen... please mention that you are from a Maiden Community all week and especially tomorrow ☕️🧃 23717 Vanowen Street“

“the apple fritter is incredible. the donut holes are very good, i wish they had more halal options for breakfast, my friend got the ham bacon and egg bagel. I really love their Thai Tea but I added a little sugar, it doesn't come very sweet, which is good for most people“

“Finally! A good local donut shop in the neighborhood!! I came too late for the blueberry fritter, near closing time, so I splurged on the apple fritter. And a glazed buttermilk bar. I will definitely be back for the blueberry fritter, and the blueberry cake donut.

Both I had were tasty and brought me back to childhood memories of these two favorites.

Easy free parking in the lot right in front with easy access from the side street, Tyrone.“

“Literally drive to this location for their Ham, Cheese and Jalapeño croissant. It’s absolutely delicious. Better than ‘Yum Yum’s’ in my opinion. Also the staff is very hospitable and the place is always clean. Great variety of selections to choose from. Must try!!“

“My boss always gets us donuts from here and they're delicious! Always fluffy and good no matter what time of day, I went for the first time s few months ago and ever since the quality and service stays consistent, friendly, nice, patient staff , good drinks amazing donuts and amazing breakfast sandwhcihes! Made to order and so good! Definitely reccomend and definitely coming back 😋“

“Good place and good service“

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

“I was coming here to cheat on my diet. I only have a few dollars on me today and well healthy food usually cost more. Not here the fruit cups are cheaper than the grocery stores and I even got a hard boiled egg so I can stick with my protein. Very affordable and good. I will be back.“

“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!“

“My go-to place for a quick breakfast or lunch. Food is excellent especially for the price and you can get a decent meal for less than many fastfood places these days. They're more than happy to make adjustments and cater to any dietary restrictions you have if they're able too when you order in person as well (ranchero bagel with no meat is a great vegetarian option). They put pickled jalapenos in many of their sandwiches which I love, but you gotta remember to ask to remove them if you can't handle spice. Smoothies/ shakes are all wonderful as well, with the thai iced tea, and cookies and cream in particular standing out. The only thing I havent figured out yet is what day they have the chocolate-chip filled donuts....“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“classic family-run donut shop that does things the right way. donuts are fresh, soft, and not overly sweet, with that perfect balance you expect from a proper neighborhood spot. you can tell they’re made with care, not mass-produced nonsense.

prices are super affordable, service is genuinely friendly, and the whole place has that old-school local vibe that’s hard to find now.“

“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 ♡.“

“Amazing donuts and amazing food. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️“

“Love me a good powdered lemon jelly donut! Brings me back to my childhood when my mom used to bring us a dozen donuts in the morning and I would run to get the powdered donut before my sister. Donuts are always fresh and delicious - never stale.

Staff is always quick and friendly. You can really tell this donut shop is filled with locals from the community as they would know their regular customers by name.

Great little donut shop and love to support small as often as we can. Will definitely be back!“

“My favorite local doughnut shop, great service, staff is very friendly. My favorite doughnuts there are the Boston creme, Jelly filled, the blueberry and cereal doughnuts. I mostly order the breakfast croissants and the sandwiches are amazing. The iced coffee is very strong and delicious. The strongest coffee i can find locally, I love it!! Thank you Number 1 Delicious Doughnuts!!“

“i can say so much about tasty’s. their donuts are perfection. i always get exactly what i want! the breakfast sandwiches are soooo tasty!! i usually get the ham, egg, cheese and bacon croissant, and it never disappoints :) HUGE fan of their thai iced tea. im always greeted with a smile and wonderful service no matter who’s working the front! prices are great, especially considering the quality treats you’ll get here. if you have a chance, stop by! it is right on burbank blvd, so depending on the time of day it could be a little loud. it’s never been an issue though! i love tasty’s 🫶“

“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.“

“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 didn’t expect a pastry run to turn into a full-on core memory… but this place pulled it off.

The second you walk in, the smell hits you like a warm hug: vanilla, buttery dough, fresh glaze, and just a hint of cinnamon. It’s the kind of aroma that instantly upgrades your mood. The display case is straight-up edible art. Every donut is perfectly golden, beautifully puffed, and somehow manages to be light and indulgent at the same time.

The donuts deserve their own love letter. The glaze is flawless: glossy, delicate, and sweet without being overpowering. The dough is pillowy soft with that perfect slight chew that lets you know it’s made right. And the filled donuts? They actually mean it when they say “filled.” No sad little pocket. No empty promise. It’s generous, balanced, and ridiculously satisfying.

The freshness is unreal. Nothing tastes greasy or heavy or mass-produced. These donuts taste handcrafted, like someone back there genuinely cares about every batch. You can taste the pride in them.

Now let’s talk about the real show-stealer: the croissants. Everyone needs to know the croissants here are absolutely splendid. Flaky in that crisp, shatter-in-the-best-way kind of way, buttery without being greasy, and soft inside with that perfect layered pull. The kind of croissant where one bite makes you pause and go, “Oh… this is the standard now.” If you come here and skip the croissants, you’re missing a top-tier pastry moment.

Customer service was just as impressive. Friendly, patient, and clearly proud of what they make, which only makes the whole experience better.

I’ve had donuts in different cities, at all hours, from all kinds of places, and nothing comes close. This isn’t just a donut shop. It’s an experience, and it will absolutely ruin other donuts for you in the best way.

10/10. I would fight someone over the last glazed. And I’d win with a croissant in my other hand.“

“This restaurant is truly impressive!
Their Breakfast Burrito is hearty and made with the freshest ingredients. The eggs, cheese, hash browns, and grilled onions come together perfectly, and you can choose from a variety of meats///ham, turkey, bacon, pastrami, or chicken

all cooked just right, offering a rich and diverse flavor
I especially love that everything is made to order
you can really taste the freshness in every bite. The aroma of eggs and grilled onions is irresistible. And to top it off, the coffee is brewed with a high-end espresso machine, making it smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced.
⭐Highly recommended for anyone who love fresh, customizable meals paired with premium coffee and a satisfying breakfast experience!“

“fresh pressed juice make daily and kolache“

“I had passed by this spot many times since I moved to the area in November and I finally decided to try it this morning on a walk with my dog. Not only are the people there friendly, but the quality of the food is just fantastic. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a french roll and holy shit. The sandwich itself was huuggeee, the bacon was thick and crunchy, the egg was salted to perfection, the cheese was the right amount of melted and the bread was warm and perfectly toasted. THEY ALSO ADD PICKLES AND CHERRY PEPPERS TO THEM!!! You could tell they put effort into their food. Will definitely be going back to try more items on their menu!!!“

“Been coming here for a few years now and have always been happy. Simple but good selection of doughnuts. I'm partial to their apple fritters, which are huge and heavy, and exactly what you'd hope for. The lady who runs the place is always so nice and she has a great report with all her regulars, myself included. The prices are very reasonable, too, especially for the fresh juice drinks! I like the sandwiches, too. They're what you'd expect at just about any doughnut shop, but they've always treated me right, and I like that you can add avocado or jalapenos if you want. Great little place.“

“This is a great donut shop if you're looking for something early in the morning with different options as well. They have a decent amount of smoothies and juice selection. They also have lottery tickets if you play that. I stopped by this morning because I was craving some donuts. I went with the mini donuts and the price was very reasonable.

The lady working this morning was very friendly with me and provided great customer service. The parking lot doesn't have that many spots but if you come at a good time then you might find one.“

“Steve's donuts are some of the best donuts I've had. I got a chocolate glazed and a regular glazed. The donuts were big, very moist with a slight chewy texture which is absolutely phenomenal. These were way better than Dunkin donuts. Can't even compare and the owner threw in a coupe of freebie donut holes as well!. Definitely coming back here for my donuts.“

“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.“

“Just walked in here for the first time. I need breakfast and donuts. Ordered 5 bagel sandwiches and box of donuts. I have to say this place is super friendly and amazing. Appreciate the love! Thank you for the kind and genuine service.

Love from Savior Towing <3“
