Best donuts in Pasadena. This is a quintessential Los Angeles donut shop. Biting into their donuts is like biting into a fluffy cloud of sweetness. They taste so delicious. My absolute favorite is the glaze twist, then the chocolate glazed, but they have plenty of options, and also breakfast sandwiches. The service is so kind and pleasant. The ambiance is an old school donut shop from the early 2000s and the experience to having a donut as a kid. I've never been able to find a donut shop that tasted like they did from my childhood until coming here. If you like krispy kreme melt-in-your-mouth donuts, this place is even better because they're more airy and not overpoweringly sugary. I love this place!

Great place to get excellent donuts at a unbelievable price I might add. They are really one of the last of your neighborhood donuts shop, and I for one feel it's a dang shame I have to go all the way to Lake Ave in Pasadena, when less then 2 blocks away from my house is Eagle Rocks own donut shop. But you won't catch me there, unless I'm buying lotto tickets or cashing them in. Because I can get a half dozen fresh donuts at Gladstones, where-as here at my local your lucky if you can manage to get one donut( not always fresh) and 2 dollar scratchers, be sure I didn't say two donuts, cause for that same $8.50 you wont be getting the 2nd, and at Gladstones you'll be on your way to getting your 2nd half dozen in comparison.

I pickup donuts here before work sometimes. Everyone that works here is very efficient and friendly. Donuts are also very delicious. I’m not a fan of cake donuts, mostly because they just taste too heavy usually, but theirs taste fresher and light.

Best raised glazed donuts we have had. Not too sweet, consistent, soft. Pure perfection.

So GOOD! ? Buttery, flakey, chewy, fresh, and so yummy. Nothing fancy but the highest quality basic no-nonsense donuts. I got old fashioned buttermilk maple, chocolate old fashioned, basic sugar donut melted in my mouth, and another - all were Amazing!

Wow great donuts and super friendly service. Small family business that knows how to make perfect donuts. I LOVE donuts and am pretty picky when it comes to them. My go to is a simple glaze and for example I really dislike it when I can taste the oil it's fried in and theirs was PERFECT so fluffy and soft but has a nice outer layer. Also got a Vietnamese coffee - so good. Gladstone Donut House is a must try
