14 Best Donuts in Pasadena

“Absolutely in love with this place. Gigi and her mom have built something special here. The BEST gluten free donuts I have ever had. I’ve been gluten free for five years and have been consistently disappointed with crumbly, dry donuts. Not anymore. This place has changed the game. Their donuts are perfectly moist and amazingly flavorful. I am beaming after visiting this place. Easily my new favorite spot and I will definitely be coming back. Impeccable vibes from the super chill baristas.“

“Best doughnuts in Pasadena and everything tastes fresh“

“We are beyond grateful to Poster’s Donuts for their generous donation of fresh, delicious donuts to the World Central Kitchen team and Maravilla Latin Cuisine during our wildfire response efforts. As we served meals to the Altadena community, their thoughtful gesture brought so much joy and warmth to everyone involved.

The donuts were incredibly fresh, soft, and full of flavor—every bite was a sweet moment of comfort in the midst of long, emotional days. As the owner of the food truck supporting World Central Kitchen’s mission, it meant so much to be on the receiving end of such kindness.

Thank you, Poster’s Donuts, for fueling the hearts of those who were out there serving. Your generosity made a real difference and reminded us of the beautiful power of community.“

“Parking: Donuts are delicious here. Moist, tasty, soft. Love, love, lo ve their donuts. My #1 spot. I drive from east l.a. to get them. Gave it a 4 for atmosphere because sometimes you'll see transients hanging outside in front of the establishment that don't seem in a good state of mind. I usually just pick up and go.“

“When I first moved to SGV three years ago, I went on a quest to find my goto donut shop. I tried many in the area, but was fortunate to find this one in my backyard, but not originally on my radar because it’s on the other side of the 210 freeway. It’s a traditional donut shop, but their donuts, jalapeño croissant sandwiches, and apple fritters are done just right. Not all shops are created equal!“

“I got a banana matcha drink and one of their cream doughnuts today and both items were absolutely fantastic! The drink especially, really great, and the people working there absolutely rock—super friendly and helpful! Definitely recommend, whether you’re looking for a drink or a doughnut!“

“Absolutely amazing donuts. Great size and consistency, a perfect balance between light and doughy. The classic glazed donut was top tier, and the Boston creme was delicious. They have a large selection and the interior was nice and clean, staff very friendly as well. They have a $0.50 surcharge for credit cards on orders less than $10.“

“Simply great tasting home-style donuts, great value pastries and coffee. Walk-up window to order, donuts clearly visible through glass. Easy on street parking, and an attached parking lot right in front. Personally my favorite donut spot in Altadena“

“Best cake donuts in Los Angeles...always perfectly cooked and not too sweet. This place is also pristinely clean!“

“Best donut shop in the area, hands down.
Donuts are super light and airy, they do not live you feeling super full and they are also not super sweet. Prices are also very reasonable.
We tried the breakfast sandwiches as well which and they were super delicious and filling. If you are hungry hungry I would recommend you get one.
The thai teas are nice too, I really liked the orange one.
Staff is also super friendly and will tell you about all their menu items as well as make recommendations.
Highly recommend you go check out BC Donuts if you are in the area!“

“It's one of my favorite locations of Afters. This place has nice decor outside. It's all outdoor seating. You walk up to the window and there's a person there to take your order. This location only takes credit card and tap (Apple/ Google pay). No cash.

There are a lot of good flavors, but I prefer the Ube brownie. I have yet to try their sweet bun. I like the waffle cone, but just like any waffle cone, they're messy to eat because they leak at the bottom. I'm not sure if they charge, but I saw a few people ask for an additional cup with their regular cake cone.

When we arrived there wasn't a line, but there was after we ordered. Lol. Thank goodness we got there before the wave of people came. Lots of parking around the place also.“

“The food, bread and drinks are very delicious. Although frapes seem sweet to me. Delicious bagels and a great variety. Fresh ingredients and they make bread right there
Today I ordered Turkey bagel with avocado and it was super delicious. I liked their dressing and garlic bread. It is in a small square and there is free parking. They have a table with the calories of each product (I liked that) The place is simple, I would put a little more decoration on it ?and the service is normal, I'm used to the warm service of Mexico then ?. They have takeaway and dine-in service. Food as such ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ IG: foodie_girl_mx“

“Clean, good all American donuts, made with experience. Buttermilk was a bit dry. Decent place. Not a good donut place in all Pasadena except the Winchell's franchise, although not a fan of additives and substances that look and taste like real natural non gmo foods served here.“

“As a pasadena resident originally form Boston, I am so happy to have a neighborhood dunkies to bring my daughter to!“
