About The Donut Hole

The Donut Hole is a well-known bakery that has been serving customers for an extended period. The establishment is famous for its creative and unique setup, featuring two enormous donuts built into the building. It is an old-school classic with a drive-thru tunnel where you literally drive through the hole. The donuts are soft, sweet, and perfectly classic, tasting homemade and not greasy. The wide array includes the original glaze donut, the fan-favorite maple bacon donut, the classic Rainbow Donut, and fresh maple bars, as well as croissants, sandwiches, and beverages. Service is quick, courteous, and friendly. However, it's a cash-only establishment, and the space to drive in is narrow, requiring caution. The structural novelty and retro kitsch make it a fun stop and a must-see.

Share your opinion about The Donut Hole

Originally opened in 1968, this is the last surviving location of a chain of Donut Holes that used to dot Southern California. There were once 5 total, but this is the only surviving one. You will also recognize it in music videos, TV shows, and movies such as Calendar Girl and Dragnet. It’s also very popular on TikTok and foodie influencer guides. That being said, it’s important to know that it is cash only and it’s best to arrive early because they sell out...read full review
