50 Best Donuts near Sherman Oaks

“the apple fritter is incredible. the donut holes are very good, i wish they had more halal options for breakfast, my friend got the ham bacon and egg bagel. I really love their Thai Tea but I added a little sugar, it doesn't come very sweet, which is good for most people“

“Mochinut consists of a wide array of unique flavors and shapes of donuts. Every time I go, I always get surprised by a flavor I haven’t noticed before. The donuts are soft and flavorful, the corn dog is crispy on the outside and the cheesy is stretchy, and the boba is perfectly sweetened.“

“Finally! A good local donut shop in the neighborhood!! I came too late for the blueberry fritter, near closing time, so I splurged on the apple fritter. And a glazed buttermilk bar. I will definitely be back for the blueberry fritter, and the blueberry cake donut.

Both I had were tasty and brought me back to childhood memories of these two favorites.

Easy free parking in the lot right in front with easy access from the side street, Tyrone.“

“I didn’t expect a pastry run to turn into a full-on core memory… but this place pulled it off.

The second you walk in, the smell hits you like a warm hug: vanilla, buttery dough, fresh glaze, and just a hint of cinnamon. It’s the kind of aroma that instantly upgrades your mood. The display case is straight-up edible art. Every donut is perfectly golden, beautifully puffed, and somehow manages to be light and indulgent at the same time.

The donuts deserve their own love letter. The glaze is flawless: glossy, delicate, and sweet without being overpowering. The dough is pillowy soft with that perfect slight chew that lets you know it’s made right. And the filled donuts? They actually mean it when they say “filled.” No sad little pocket. No empty promise. It’s generous, balanced, and ridiculously satisfying.

The freshness is unreal. Nothing tastes greasy or heavy or mass-produced. These donuts taste handcrafted, like someone back there genuinely cares about every batch. You can taste the pride in them.

Now let’s talk about the real show-stealer: the croissants. Everyone needs to know the croissants here are absolutely splendid. Flaky in that crisp, shatter-in-the-best-way kind of way, buttery without being greasy, and soft inside with that perfect layered pull. The kind of croissant where one bite makes you pause and go, “Oh… this is the standard now.” If you come here and skip the croissants, you’re missing a top-tier pastry moment.

Customer service was just as impressive. Friendly, patient, and clearly proud of what they make, which only makes the whole experience better.

I’ve had donuts in different cities, at all hours, from all kinds of places, and nothing comes close. This isn’t just a donut shop. It’s an experience, and it will absolutely ruin other donuts for you in the best way.

10/10. I would fight someone over the last glazed. And I’d win with a croissant in my other hand.“

“I've been coming here a few times a week for five years. Me, my gf and son have become friends with the owner. The sandwiches are fantastic! The donuts are always fresh and taste amazing! Boba here is always great! This place is a constant winner!“

“Love me a good powdered lemon jelly donut! Brings me back to my childhood when my mom used to bring us a dozen donuts in the morning and I would run to get the powdered donut before my sister. Donuts are always fresh and delicious - never stale.

Staff is always quick and friendly. You can really tell this donut shop is filled with locals from the community as they would know their regular customers by name.

Great little donut shop and love to support small as often as we can. Will definitely be back!“

“Been stopping by the place on the way home from work for months now. The hot chocolate is the best around and the donuts are by far the very best in town. Not dry, not greasy but moist and very tasty. The frosting on top is delicious without being too sweet or hard but just right for the taste. Service is very good and fast unless it’s really busy but not their fault when it is because it can get really packed at certain times in the early morning. The sandwiches they make are very tasty also with a wide variety and made to order the way you like. Great place to grab coffee and something for the stomach at a reasonable price. 👍🙂“

“I absolutely love coming to Classic Donuts, Coffee & Croissants! The food is always amazing, fresh, and comforting every single time. My go-to order is the croissant with egg and cheese along with a donut, and it never disappoints. Everything tastes so fresh and made with care, and you can really tell they put love into what they do.

One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back though is Miranda. She is genuinely one of the sweetest and kindest people ever. Every time I walk in, she greets everyone with such a positive attitude and such warm energy. She always brightens my day and makes the whole experience feel so welcoming and personal. She is incredibly helpful, patient, hardworking, and just overall such a lovely person. Employees like Miranda are honestly rare to find these days, and she deserves so much recognition for how amazing she is at her job.

The atmosphere here is always so positive and friendly, and between the incredible food and the outstanding customer service, this place has become one of my favorite spots in Sherman Oaks. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious breakfast food, great coffee, amazing donuts, and genuinely kind people!“

“Great Doughnuts! I would definitely recommend 10/10 👍🏽“

“K’s is awesome! I placed a few large orders on short notice (8+ dozen donuts) and their staff filled them quickly and without any issues. The woman behind the counter was so sweet and took amazing care of me while I was in her shop. My clients loved the donuts and I got a few very solid Vietnamese iced coffees.

I travel to the west coast for business a few times per year, and I guarantee that I’ll be coming back to K’s next time I’m in town!“

“would definitely go here again!!! doughnuts were so delecious!!!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Donut Hut in Burbank! We stopped by early in the morning and got some freshly made, delicious donuts. The display is incredibly neat and colorful, and everything tasted amazing. The owners and helpers are so kind and friendly, making the visit even better. My son absolutely loves their donuts. Highly recommend checking them out!

Plus try their sandwich and coffee too! Support local business!“

“The best! Worth every penny.“

“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“

“Good place and good service“

“I've been coming here for the last 4 years and it feels like home. Debbie is literally the most caring person I've ever met and they truly care of their customers. My husband and I come here pretty much every weekend and get sandwiches and iced coffees. The prices are good and the food is delicious. This is a neighborhood staple and you will return!“

“Mike at Mama Donuts decorated our donuts as a turntable for our daughter’s 50th birthday. It was a vinyl record party theme! The donuts were amazing! The decor, the taste. They fit the theme and they were scrumptious. Mike was so great! He was responsive and his customer service was excellent. I highly recommend Mama’s Donuts whenever you want donuts!“

“My new favorite donut place. Excellent donuts. They can add the cream for you! They even can add toppings like m&ms and oreos. Their breakfast sandwiches are also excellent. Lots of smoothie options and other things I haven't tried get but I'm excited to try new options!“

“Somehow I had never tried this place until about a month ago through Uber eats when I was craving an Apple fritter. Have ordered a few times since and think I’ve found my favorite donut/breakfast sandwich place in LA. Everything is always super fresh even if I order at 3 in the afternoon. The fritter is huge and might be the best I’ve ever had. Bagel breakfast sandwiches are perfect as are the other donuts I’ve had. So happy places like this still exist!!!“

“This was my first time visiting Voodoo Doughnut, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth. The selection was impressive, and the experience was made even better by Monta, who provided excellent customer service. Monta was friendly, welcoming, and offered a great recommendation from the menu that I thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to returning.“

“The best donuts in the world!!! Period!!! Fresh and delicious. My wife and I visited Hollywood for a week. I did an online search and found this place. Great reviews so we had to give them a try. Twice during our stay we walked a mile one way to this donut shop. We weren't disappointed. The Super Donut House definitely lives up to it's name.“

“This spot is seriously one of the hidden gems around. The food is ALWAYS fresh, stacked, and made with care. Look at this sandwich, thick egg, fresh avocado, crisp vegetables, quality bread, everything balanced perfectly. You can tell they don’t cut corners here.

But honestly, the best part is the people. These ladies are some of the kindest workers I’ve met. They actually remember me and my order even if I haven’t been there for weeks, and they always treat me with genuine warmth and respect. That kind of service is rare now. You don’t feel like “just another customer” here.

The shop has that old-school neighborhood feeling where people actually care about their regulars. Great food, great energy, hardworking people, and consistently good service every single time.

If you want a place that deserves support, it’s this one. Much love and respect to the ladies running this shop, you can feel the heart they put into it. 🙏“

“Unfortunately for me there are no good donut places where I live, so when I was out visiting the Chatsworth area I was on the lookout for some good donuts.

After a quick search I found that Earl's was just down the street from where I was staying, I decided that today would be a great time to have donuts for dinner!

I wasn't looking for the usual glazed or chocolate dipped donuts, I wanted something a little more fun. I walked in and before me like a vision of heaven I saw a display of the most glorious donuts imaginable. I stepped up to the display and gazed upon the magnificence laid out before me, it was overwhelming!

Fortunately there was a young lady behind the counter that would be my guide, who would help me on this sweet journey.

I wanted them all but with help I was able to whittle my selection down to something my stomach could handle.

I took a seat in their dining area and began my luscious adventure. Each bite was a glimpse of nirvana, I savored every moment. I soon came to the realization that my donut box was now empty, but my stomach was full, and I was happy.

I shall return one day to continue this sweet voyage.“

“I go to this tiny little donut shop for fresh, light, traditional donuts - they're open every day of the week starting at 6am and also serve affordable fresh juice smoothies and breakfast sandwiches. Elderly couple has been running this shop as long as I can remember. And I smiled when I saw they had sneaked in some donut holes into my bag!“

“Best baked choco 🍩 .. mmm“

“fresh donuts made in house!! can't beat that..“

“Why despair when you can just donut?“

“WOAH. I never leave reviews but this is the best donut I’ve had in my life and the guy was so nice. I asked for his favorite and he gave me a surprise donut for free that he’s been working on which I would HIGHLY recommend asking for.“

“I had a taste for some donuts and had seen this place heading home. Well this morning I went over there to check it out. The visit was quick, the service was prompt and the staff was very friendly. There’s not a a lot of room inside, and while you could sit there and eat, you’re probably better off walking out with a box. Also the parking lot is quite small, so maybe there’s 6-7 parking spots.“

“best doughnuts in my life“

“I’m in LOVE with these donuts!!! Not to mention how sweet they are in there!!! So nice, incredible donuts that are BETTER than the “other” big donut place out here.... Sorry Cali, Crafted is the place!!!!“

“1. The donut looked pretty and tasted delicious! I did not feel heavy when eating the cream!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes! It is part of an indoor shopping area!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in about 5 mins!
Note: There is a restroom area for customers!

“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!“

“Good place and good service“

“I discovered this little donut shop earlier this week and I'm so glad I went inside because the owner was so kind and helped me decide what to order as a first time customer. I got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee (which was the perfect combination between creamy, sweet, and strong) and a Ham and Cheese Croissant. I'm usually not the biggest fan of glazed donuts just because they're a little sweet for my taste, but after trying one of their hot, freshly made glazed donuts, I was really impressed with the quality, freshness, and texture (soo fluffy)! I got to work and told all of my coworkers to try out this spot. I definitely need to come back because the quality and heart is there!“

“A simple, family-run donut shop that I have been coming to for my entire life. The staff treats you like family, and the donuts are the best in Los Angeles. The Maple Bar, Apple Fritter, and cinnamon roll are stand outs.

To me, this is benchmark I compare all in the city to, and when compared to Miss Donuts, pretty much all fall short. Don't sleep on this hidden gem.“

“The donuts are as big as my head! Highly recommend a dozen. 🤣😂🤣“

“I absolutely love Star Donut! Every visit is a delightful experience. Their donuts are always fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet, with a great variety to choose from. The glazed and maple bars are my personal favorites, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of their options.

Beyond the donuts, the shop offers a nice selection of sandwiches, boba tea, and smoothies—perfect for a quick lunch or snack. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making the atmosphere warm and inviting.

It’s also worth noting that their prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee and donut on the go or sitting down to enjoy your treat, Star Donut is a gem in Reseda. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area!“

“I was in the mood for some donuts last night and I stopped by around 5 pm. Was greeted really warmly and ordered a dozen donuts to go. The entire atmosphere was very comforting and the staff were very kind. The donuts smelled very fragrant and warm. When I got home I had a raspberry jelly donut and I was absolutely blown away. I have NEVER tasted such a perfect donut in my entire donut eating life lol. The donut had a perfect amount of glaze, the raspberry jelly was sweet and tasted fairly real (not artificial) and the donut was super soft and delicious. I highly recommend checking them out.“

“Picked up 4 dozen doughnuts at 6am last week for a special event and not only were the doughnuts delicious and fresh, but the customer service was fantastic. They even brought all of the boxes out for us and put them in the car. Highly recommend this place!“

“Jim's is my new favorite spot 😋
I've been coming here for a few months and I cant get enough! The staff is so nice I order the same drink but them just remembering my order from memory is what makes me feel like home.
I recommend this place always 👌 👏“

“Great donuts , coffee and bobas family owned super nice family ❤️🙏🏻“

“Had the best experience coming here for the first time! The young man that helped my family and I was very nice and generous. On top of that, the quality of the chicken sandwich, breakfast burrito, orange juice and the fluffy donuts were top notch.
We’ll definitely be going back for more! 🍩“

“THEE best donuts, not greasy or oily, fluffy, not too sweet, airy. i've been coming here for over 15 years and they have been consistent every time. If I bring anyone a donut from here they ask where they're from! Sweetest couple runs it, very mom and pop classic donut shop. Make the drive if you're not close by, it's so worth it. I almost don't even want to mention their carrot cake because it's the absolute best and it already sells out but get it if you can! Very LAUSD coffee cake adjacent, soooo delicious.“

“Their glazed donuts are nothing short of perfection-- a delicate balance of sweetness and texture that melts in your mouth with every bite. The sugar twists on the other hand... is delightful, soft, fluffy, and each bite is a heavenly experience that leaves you craving for more. In a world filled with tons of donut shops, this place stands out as a beacon of quality, creativity, and passion. The staff here are also friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with a smile. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit, your taste buds will thank you!“

“It's been awhile since I've been here due to the pandemic. I've always stopped in after finishing my laundry in the little shopping plaza. Today was no exception, and man... it's as good as I remembered. Ordered my usual turkey & ham croissant (everything on it) with some OJ. This huge baked croissant filled with cheese, jalapeño and ham caught my eye, so I also got that to go. The sweet owner threw in a free donut as well! Took them home to enjoy. Fresh, comforting and delicious ♡.“

“Came here two times in 2 days because food was great, owner was friendly and has a sense of humor :) I had a apple crumb doughnut first time and it tasted fresh and delicious!

Second day I got a turkey sandwitch with everything on it and it was SOOO GOOD!! Cheaper than subway and tasted a hundred times better and fresh! It hit the spot. And its affordable. Highly HIGHLY recommend you stop by and support this local business if you can! A+“

“I go there every day I used to go for Mr Coffee and donut then one day I was treated to a tuna sandwich and I must say it was delicious and the amount of tuna they put on your sandwich is ridiculous, you almost want to tell him not to put on so much meat let the price they charge for the tuna sandwich makes me keep my mouth shut LOL nice ladies good place to go“

“classic family-run donut shop that does things the right way. donuts are fresh, soft, and not overly sweet, with that perfect balance you expect from a proper neighborhood spot. you can tell they’re made with care, not mass-produced nonsense.

prices are super affordable, service is genuinely friendly, and the whole place has that old-school local vibe that’s hard to find now.“

“Fresh Donuts has been our favorite local donut shop for years. The donuts are always fresh (just like the name says!), and we've honestly never had a bad one. Our favorites are the glazed buttermilk, the cronuts, the bow ties, and I can never resist one of the cake donuts.

What really keeps us coming back, though, is the people. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. They know us by name, ask how my husband is if I come in by myself, and always remember little details about our lives. It's the kind of genuine customer service that's becoming harder and harder to find.

My husband grew up in the Valley and has been coming here since he was a kid, so it's become a special little tradition for us too. If you're looking for a friendly neighborhood donut shop with consistently great donuts, Fresh Donuts is definitely worth a stop. We love supporting this little local gem!“
