50 Best Donuts near Manhattan Beach

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

“I had a great experience at Dunkin' Donuts in Manhattan Beach. The store was very clean, well-maintained, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The service was fast and efficient, and I received my order quickly without a long wait.
The staff were friendly and professional, making the visit even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a clean place with quick service and great coffee and donuts, this location is definitely worth a visit.
Highly recommended, and I will definitely be coming back!“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“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.“

“I live in the neighborhood and this is my go to donut shop. They are very friendly and have an upbeat attitude.

The fresh juices are delicious and they have a lot of options. The breakfast sandwiches are my go to with the occasional donut.“

“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“

“They have varieties of sandwich not just that as well breakfast sandwiches croissant burritos they're all to die for I literally have been trying ever single one they're a solid 9 out 10 I recommend pulling up build your own, the flavor are to die for they don't overlap each other all the ingredients paired well!!!!!! Customer service is great the people are really friendly .......... Hate me or whatever but it's better then that Dunkin Donuts that right next to it 😆😁“

“The first time we tried a mochi doughnut, it was so disappointing. That was not the case here! We tried the black sesame mochi doughnut and the ube brioche (?). Honestly, I didn't pay attention to anything other than the fact the latter doughnut was ube... Ube dough with an ube custard. It was basically an ube cloud. Both were absolutely delicious and a textural experience.“

“I walked into this small place thinking of just getting a quick snack and was absolutely gobsmacked at how soft and fluffy their sugar glazed donut was. I went back every day during my trip to LA and the quality was top notch every single time. I was even more overjoyed when I found out they're open 24 hours. Even their croissants blew my mind with how soft and fluffy the pastry was! The best part is how affordable it is! Genuinely can't believe such a gem exists in this economy, highly recommend!!“

“Good place and good service“

“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“

“Griselda and the people working here made my mom feel special every day when she came in for her coffee for many years until she passed away.

Someone even came to the funeral and brought donuts for everyone! Truly wonderful people.“

“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.“

“Niko’s Donuts has been a longtime favorite, and it’s incredible to see it still thriving after Niko’s tragic passing from cancer. His warmth and dedication live on in every detail—from the friendly service to the consistently great donuts. The classic glazed and old-fashioned are always spot on. It’s clear the family is honoring his legacy, and it makes supporting this place all the more meaningful.“

“best doughnuts in my life“

“Are you serious? How did I have the best breakfast sandwich and smoothie of my life at a little shop like this! I am going to be dreaming about this sandwich and smoothie until I can come back!! I had the sausage egg and cheese croissant with a strawberry banana smoothie and it was life changing. I need to get my hands on a donut soon too, I've heard they're scrumptious!“

“Micah was my barista who was very knowledgeable about the espresso machine and the coffee beans used in the process of the French Toast Latte.“

“Owners Maria and David always greet you by name and a smile makes you feel extremely welcome. The service is fast and have good quality products. Love their coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Freshly squeezed juice hits hard in the morning 🫀 thank you Maria and David for such great service“

“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 .“

“Good service n great food“

“Hands down the best donut shop in the entirety of LA if you're looking for a great donut shop that opens incredibly early with incredible quality this is the place to come perfect service always on time there's a reason why there's always bimbo trucks lined up outside of the place at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning cuz they're just that good even the people who make bread have to have some of their bread so why don't you? Hands out the best 10 out of 10“

“I love the donuts here. They are so fresh all the time everytime. The gentleman that served me was so kind and friendly. The blueberry glazed donut is so delicious and Again very fresh and I've been there lately night and early afternoon times when the donuts shouldn't be so fresh but not at Top Donuts it seems no matter what time of day they are always fresh. If you want a delicious donut come to Top Donuts!“

“Yum Yum Donuts in Los Angeles is a solid go-to spot for anyone in need of a sweet treat. The donuts are fresh, soft, and come in a wide variety of flavors, from classic glazed to fun options like maple bacon and filled varieties. The shop itself has a friendly vibe, and the service is typically quick, even when it’s busy. If you’re in the mood for something more than just donuts, they also serve breakfast items like bagels and breakfast sandwiches, which are surprisingly tasty. While it's not the most gourmet donut spot around, Yum Yum Donuts is a reliable choice for satisfying a donut craving at any time of day. Perfect for grabbing a quick snack or a casual breakfast.

Kid-friendliness: Yes my niece loves it here [she is 10]“

“Wow. I had a long wait picking up someone from LAX so wanted boba. Gps led me to this nondescript place. Got the green Thai bob milk tea. Wow! Great flavor! Super subtle flower note, not so sweet, very light. Bob was warm and soft in the middle. This drink hits the boba spot and competes with the best of them in taste and in price.

Edit: Watch the ice! They give loads like 3/4 cup.“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely LOVED stopping here before driving back to Vegas. We ordered a variety of glazed donuts and they were all pillowy soft and melted in your mouth. I have such respect and admiration for a donut shop like this that has clearly been in an ever-changing neighborhood for years.

Thank you to all 3 ladies who helped out our small family today from Minnesota ❤️❤️“

“This is a pretty standard donut shop, with pretty much every kind of donut you'd expect, plus a few delux varieties. The staff are quite polite. If you can get here just after opening in the wee hours of the morning, the fritters are especially fresh, but it's hard to predict exactly when they will open. If I'm on my way to work, then I need a backup plan for breakfast.“

“Th does historical donut shop holds a very special memory between me and my mother who passed away 7 years ago after my therapy sessions over at Kaiser my mother would always take me over here and treat me to a few donuts this morning my husband and I stopped her with my son who's playing back to Tennessee this morning we shared a few laps in a few memories about his grandmother and I and we enjoyed her donuts and coffee“

“OMG!!!! I vendor of ours brought some donuts from here to our office and OMG!!!!! This shop has the best donuts ever. I will be 54 years old this month and I’ve had donuts from everywhere I’ve been and by far these are the best donuts ever. So moist and fresh. Even 3 day old donuts don’t compare to other donuts I have. I even called them to say how awesome they are. Totally recommend them. Keep it up Rays Donuts.“

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!“

“Good place and good service“

“Delicious donuts!! Whenever we visit the area on vacation we always want to have some fresh “non chain like” donuts, as we don’t eat donuts normally. Moon Donut did not disappoint! Did we order too much, yep, but that’s okay 😂

Thank you!!“

“A cute little corner donut shop.

The lady who helped me with my order was kind and patient, and also felt like the only worker there.

I think she may have been, so MAJOR PROPS TO HER!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!

She was also very quick with her service and helped me accordingly, then helped the next person in line. Call that Donut Mania!“

“With so many new over-produced artisanal donut shops, it’s hard to know where get a delicious donut that won’t cost $65 for a dozen of one type (yes, $65) and before you pay tax (and this is LA folks). Primo is that place! The various flavors are all excellent but you can’t go wrong with a simple glazed 🍩

“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.“

“I love the onion bagel with cream cheese, coffee with French Vanilla and twisted glazed donut. The couple who work the counter are polite, efficient & the place is well-stocked, chill atmosphere & the TV is always tuned to the news channel.“

“The doughnuts are very good but they gave me a headache after eating them. I might be insulin sensitive so that could be the cause. The guys that work there provide outstanding customer service. I got the mango tango (big) a maple bar, and whatever the white and blue doughnut was.“

“This is the donut shop of my childhood and I was in the neighborhood so stopped by for the first time in decades. It was a little past 10 and they were nearly sold out of donuts... a testament to their deliciousness. I still managed to get 4 for my family. My only regret was not also ordering a ham and cheese croissant, another childhood favorite.They accept cash and credit card and service is fast and friendly. I don't know if the current owners are rated to the owners from over 20 years ago, but they're just as nice.“

“Even though they changed the name, the place is still amazing! The super Texas size donut whatever you call it LOL still tastes amazing! The donut holes are still delicious. That is mainly what I go for is the Big Texas and the donut holes. A definite must for anyone who loves a big donut ?. Imagine 4-5 glazed donuts put into one big circle ?“

“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.“

“they make a great Turkey and cheese sandwich“

“I don’t understand the negative reviews. I walked to this place after a hospital visit on 5/13 in the morning and it was a very pleasant experience. They have plenty of drinks and a variety of sandwiches and chips to choose from. I also had a donut and it was fresh and delicious. All of the donuts they have looked delicious but unfortunately I should only have ONE! Come by and get something to eat or a sweet treat. The server was polite and friendly. I will definitely Come back.“
