50 Best Donuts near Manhattan Beach

“Doughnuts are top notch but very pricey. $4 and up for an artisan doughnut is way too much.“

“Love the overall location of this Dunkin’! Right by the beach and other stores. Although the drinks are always good, sometimes the staff forgets to add cold foam (something that’s worth an extra $1.50 to add to my drink) to my order but is always prompt to fix their mistakes when asked.“

“Holey Grail Donuts is a stylish shop located on Main St in Santa Monica.
Having tried my fair share of donuts, I can say that Holey Grail Donuts is truly exceptional. Made with Hawaiian taro root and fried to order in coconut oil, their donuts are a flavor explosion. With creative and seasonal fillings, this shop is a must-visit for donut lovers. The unique flavor combinations are particularly impressive.
I tried the Taro Donuts and was instantly hooked. If you're tired of the same old donuts, Holey Grail Donuts is a game-changer that you need to try!“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“You can’t go wrong with any shake or tea. Can’t wait for the bowls to be available. Love this place!!! 10 out of 10. Make sure you check it out 😍“

“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“

“Great quality donuts the building is magical the people are graceful and sincere they work hard and are very kind call out to them at the front desk if no one is there, God bless. Been going here since high-school lov the sandwichs better than McDonald's.“

“This place is amazing. The atmosphere, workers, and the food itself is second to none. I 100% would recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys well crafted sweets. I will definitely be back here soon!

Kid-friendliness: The workers are super nice, even to my kids!“

“These were literally the best donuts and coffee I’ve ever put in my mouth. In addition, the Cambodian employee was beyond friendly and helpful; he even threw in a free donut :). I would recommend 100%. For reference: this is the first review I’ve ever given; it was THAT good.“

“best doughnuts in my life“

“When I was introduces this place with my best friend The Owner, Niko Who also works there as well as a hard-working person very friendly, always goes up and beyond to make sure the customers are smiling and happy. His customer service is amazing and his donuts are yummy but along with his croissants, his coffee and his chai tea iced my best friend and I always make sure that we get there at least once a week if not every day of the week, keep up the great work.NIKO We’ll see you soon. ♥️??????“

“Almost too hip of an atmosphere. Looks futuristic and like a hipster puked all over it but it’s still cute. I miss the old schnackenbergs! This place looks odd in old cute charming uptown Hoboken. It’s very Portland-esque. Good salad tho.“

“MY Best friend went to get himself a turkey sandwich. And two ham sandwich for my daughter and I. He told me all 3 worker's treated him really kind especially the older guy. He said the older gentleman told him to sit down while he prepared his meal and gave him coffee. He said the staff was very kind. Their sandwiches are very good. The best we ever had. So on behalf of my Best friend and myself. Thank you.“

“Omg, I come home from working nightshift in Santa Monica. I've had some stupid expensive donuts from super fluffed up donut places.This place doesn't disappoint at all.I absolutely love the quality, taste, selections, and price. I am a huge fan of Christy's. My favorites are the raspberry jelly donuts and apple fritters.I'll be bye very soon for my weekly dose of donuts goodness.“

“My spouse and I come here at least once a week. We really enjoy the sandwiches and the iced coffee (strong and sweet, just how I like it). They stuff the sandwiches with lots of ingredients but will leave off any ingredient that you want and even give you pickled peppers on the side. We don't understand why anyone would even go to the Dunkin down the way when you can go to this place. The donuts are big and fresh here. They have such a variety of food and drinks (like fresh juices) that I'm amazed every time. If you think you won't find something you'll like, go in and at least see the menus on the wall.“

“Love this place. Donuts & breakfast sandwiches are bombbb! They also got good people working here, I left my CC in the morning, didn’t realize it till the next day, called and they said they found it on the table and would be happy to keep it safe until the next week when I was back in the town. Faith in humanity restored!“

“The pastries are very delicious. The donuts are very very good. The atmosphere is very classic and the customer service you cannot beat every time I come in they have a smile on their face and they are very attentive. Their suggestions are very good as well.

Parking: Parking is located right in front of the store quick and easy access in and out the door“

“Visited for the first time this morning and had a great experience. I had the number 3 breakfast sandwich, which is egg, bacon and cheese on a croissant. It was all very good. I also bought an apple fritter which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The staff, and even the other customers, were very friendly. I'm not usually in this area, but when I return I will definitely go here again.“

“Loveeee them!!! This is my go-to donuts store. They are always fresh and taste great!! The gentleman who is usually there at night is always so sweet and kind his customer service alone deserves 10 ? thank you Jay's donuts for having the best donuts in town and for your friendly and awesome customer service.“

“Good service n great food“

“A landmark and also a delicious spot to get donuts , there is a reason why there been serving the best for the last 70 years!! Come take a picture and also enjoy a donut at Randy’s .“

“A very nice place to buy donuts and lottery tickets. The donuts are always fresh. A very friendly staff and i have won hundreds buying their lottery tickets and i hope you never ever go away. I absolutely love that place“

“My husband and I are visiting L.A. for a few days, staying in Torrance. We wanted a little breakfast sandwich before heading to the beach. Found this place looking around on maps and decided to try it out. So happy we did; we loved it! It’s a small family owned shop. There are a couple tables if you wanted to eat there. Walking in, the donut cabinet was right and front. While we didn’t go for the donuts they looked absolutely delicious and it was tempting! They had a huge selection of sandwich options/combinations on the big menu board which made it so easy to look at, read, and decide. For the sandwiches, you have multiple protein options with bread options (croissant, toast, bagel). I believe they had a lot of bagel options as well but we did not really pay attention as that wasn’t what we were going for. My husband got the sausage, egg and cheese on croissant, and I got the bacon, egg and cheese on croissant. While waiting, I read the tea and coffee options and decided to try the iced Thai Tea. I’ve never had Thai tea before so I wasn’t sure what it tasted like; it was amazing! I’ve definitely found a tea I’d love to find and try more often! Our sandwiches were done and out in good time and packaged well in good quality recyclable containers. The sandwiches were bigger than we expected and so delicious! The man at the counter was super friendly and attentive too! We both highly recommend stopping here. If we lived around here this would definitely be a favorite little spot!“

“Pretty good donut place with great service and prices. Would come for a quick bite. The donuts are pretty good as you'd expect from a donut place. The Thai tea was really good, well balanced. Boba was a little sweet but I am not complaining. Prices are more than reasonable, specially with inflation. The Place is really clean. Nothing to complain about.“

“I got an iced coffee and a singlr donut. Total was $7.75. Seems a little ridiculous on price if you ask me.

The coffee was an espresso shot mixed with syrup and milk. If you wanted it sweetened with syrup or any flavor, it was an additional 25 cents. Basically, it's a latte when I just wanted a simple iced coffee.

The donut, on the other hand, was pretty good. They asked if I wanted it warmed up, and I said no....however, they proceeded to warm it up because one of the ladies in back said they had to warm it up to make it taste better.... so that tells me it must be pretty bad when it's room temp? Overkill on the service, especially when it wasn't necessary.

The location is a little rough... tight parking and hard to access when theres a lot of traffic. I'd go back to try other donuts.“

“Best donuts in the South Bay!! All of the staff are wonderful! The coffee is ALWAYS HOT and FRESH! It is a great place to pick up fluffy, flavorful, and fantastic donuts! The "old fashioned" are my favorite and unlike other donut shops these OF donuts WON'T give you heartburn. If you want to be ruined forever and never be able to enjoy a donut from another shop, go to JAX donuts! I have been going there for over 25 years!“

“My favorite donut spot in the Hyde Park area very good been here for years they have the nice cool smoothie healthy Shake especially if you're on a diet it's just that husband he's something else sometimes he a little weird but you just got to overlook him and the donuts they are pretty cool especially if you got to take them to your job on one of your good days?“

“The best place to get your donuts. You can expect to wait a little bit in the morning during the rush but it's well worth it as an the ladies who work are absolutely nice and extremely quick. My daughter and I would go here and grab some donuts, sometimes in the afternoon just so I could make conversation with the beautiful woman who works behind the counter, I think it's time we go back. Say tomorrow 🙏

Kid-friendliness: Yes, it's a donut shop

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Went here for donuts one morning with the family and thought it was so good that we went again the next morning during our trip to L.A. the donuts were fresh and tasted great even the day after. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. I give it excellent marks.“

“Yummy doughnuts , seasonal flavors“

“Been coming here for years and has been my go to for breakfast sandwiches and of course donuts. Ray and Monica always greet you with a smile and their donuts are always fresh. I know that when ever I make a stop here, I won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for pretentious trend donuts look elsewhere. This is a local mom and pops traditional donut shop that also serves up sandwiches.“

“Good place and good service“

“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.“

“Ive been going here for years with my bf to this donut shop. I love the food here it’s so delicious! and customers service is amazing! I feel like I grew up with the business and to see it blossom and get even more better overtime is blessing! It’s an awesome local spot and I’m so happy seeing the business booming more customers! They deserve the recommendations! Get the #7 crossiant sandwich and Thank me later! Donuts here are honestly the best in town! Yup better than Krispy Kreme and Randy’s!“

“Warm donuts and delicious food here, love the hot dogs and coffee - I can come here almost every day to get my fix! I love their warm atmosphere and a mom and pop-shop feel. Their wall of lottery scratchers also makes me tempted to try my luck.“

“The donuts so fresh and hum and cheese good service“

“The donut shop is top-notch with 5-star everything – clean and tasty food, refreshing Strawberry Banana and Mango smoothies, great iced coffee, and a killer croissant sandwich. The staff is super friendly, adding to the cozy vibe. It's just a really nice spot for a treat. Definitely worth checking out! ??“

“This is a very happenin kind of donut/lil coffee shop It's a local hanout spot for regulars in Harbor City in cute yet safe kinda way. Tho the neighborhood some would say maybe a bit on the rough side,,it does Harbor City prouD. It sits on a famous & for some a very historical landmark .. "Normandie & Lomita". A few steps and youre on Pch and Normandie.. . Favorite Doughnuts is in the right smak dab of HC . I would say that hands down this little cottage has definite,character & good vibes all day. I frequent there alot in the early evening & the night guy is always just a breath of fresh air to anyone He is always working hard with a very contagous joy to him ,& a bedside manner that is almost gaurenteed to make anyone smile. It has a lottery ticket machine ,an ATM,&even some old-school classic gum ball machines with all kinds of cool nicknacks that a quarter or two might getcha. They have great sanwhiches,chips of different sorts, a variety of candy for sale, even cigeretts, the best priced with in 10 a 10 mile radious,& hands down delicious coffee -& donuts. I give this place 5 stars anyday.This little joint has spaz, with some serious Cali swagg,✌️❤️ . ,?~ Heather B, a resident in Harbor City for 2years-“

“Donut King is a doughnut and sandwich shop located on Venice Blvd. i ordered the vampire and super green drinks. They were both made fresh and very tasty. They have a large selection of sandwiches on bagels, croissants and French bread. It is very reasonably priced and i will definitely go back to try it. The lady working there was very nice and gave me a bag to hold the drinks.“

“The Donut are always fresh. When I go there, I like to order the #30 with cheese and mayonnaise and a large ginger tea; although they can special make a sandwich for you, I think the #30 is the best sandwich for a person that rarely eats pork. The ginger tea can be better than coffee to get the system going in the morning and the blood flowing. It is more healthier for sure. The people of the business are hard working at keeping the food fresh and the place clean. Good job! King donuts.“

“Excellent donuts n other pastries. I give this family owned business 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It was my first time at Moon donuts and I will definitely be back again. I only put the atmosphere as 4 stars because there was no one in there at least while I was there with someone else I went with. It was sad in my opinion because it was one of the best tasting donut’s I ever had and I have had doughnuts from different places in the past. I tried one of the fancy donuts and the presentation was amazing.“

“This is my favorite donut shop!! I love the owner!! She's so sweet!! I used to pick up donuts for my boys when they were little...and shape them into numbers according to their birthday! They are always fresh! This is a family-owned business and the owner and the son are super nice and super amazing! I will always purchase Donuts from this shop whether I'm near or far. Whether it's for a birthday or just a craving! Their donuts are awesome! The glazed donut, the chocolate donut, even the donut holes and everything in between are great! And you can't beat the price! I will take these Donuts any day before I will drive to any famous donut shop! Support local businesses!!“

“As someone from the east coast I always have to get doughnuts when I come out west, and Randy’s reaffirmed why. The raised doughnuts especially are spectacular. The flavors are good but the texture and bite is outstanding. No way to go wrong no matter what you buy though, everything was excellent.“

“Love this place! Very nice and humble people work here. Always busy but they seem to get everyone in and out quickly. I work grave yard shift so this is always my stop to get my wife some breakfast and coffee before getting home. Highly recommend.“

“Man this place is a hidden gemI love their chinese food. If you come here you wont regret it. All of their items are great but If you get the chance try they're fried fish fillet its sooooo bomb. You also must get their house made hot sauce idk why but it pairs so well with their food. To top it all of you can feed 2 people off one plate their portions are great.“
