50 Best Donuts near South El Monte

“One of the best donut shops in LA County. They make amazing cinnamon crumb donuts that are even better when fresh out of the oven. The service is great too. The older lady always has my donuts ready when I come in and is always wishing me a good day. Very welcoming atmosphere!“

“Small establishment with great blueberry muffins, but I recommend their ham and egg breakfast croissants with cheese,, they have a selection of donuts and also bagels along with refreshments and coffee.. they have Indoor seating but no AC unfortunately,

Parking: Limited parking but there's parking available on the city street.“

“Please be patient to the employees here! Since the recent pass of the 20$ fast food minimum wage, their on staff employees were reduced by one person. In the morning rushes, there's 3 employees and towards the afternoon, there's 2. Keep in mind that because there is no drive-thru, they are bombarded with in-person, mobile walk-ins, Uber Eats/Curbside orders!That being said, they are incredibly friendly and will try to get through orders as fast as they can!“

“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 donuts this side of the Mississippi! Returning early 2019. YAY!!!“

“It’s a total hole in the wall but 100/10 (yes 100/10) recommend. First day I went, I was scared go get out of my car but glad I did! Their donuts are amazing!!! You can tell they are made from scratch and with care. I got their iced coffee, it’s amazing! I don’t know what they do to it. But get it. They seem to be owned by sweet Asian/korean family, where English clearly isn’t their first language, so communication was a bit tougher….. but damn they have an amazing personality!! Great sense of humor, always smiling and laughing. I’m an out if towner, they recognized me immediately ok only a second video and even remembered I was going home that day. I wish they were near my house. (Well actually I’m not. I’d spend too much money and get way too fat) anyways, go give them a try!“

“Best doughnuts in Pasadena and everything tastes fresh“

“I have been going to Rose’s since the early 90’s, I even met my husband there while in high school. Rose’s is a staple of our community, always a kind face, a kind welcome and conversation to be had. Wonderful people, delicious food! Unlike any other!“

“So my brother brought donuts over to my house and he bought them from these. These are the best donuts I think I've ever tried. He bought the croissant donuts to make the one that I'm eating. They're so flaky and they have layers. No lie. This is like the best don't I think I've ever had in my life and it's so close to home. I've never been to this donut shop. I think maybe I stopped there before but never really paid attention. Didn't get the croissant donuts. These are a must try the croissant donuts. I give it a 10 out of 10. And he said that was like $17 for a dozen of donuts. That's not bad because other places charge more.“

“Wow their glazed is one of the best I’ve tasted. Texture and flavor like Krispy Kreme without as much sugar. Chocolate bar was too - best chocolate bar I had in a while, perfect sweet and dough airiness. All the circular donuts had a little bit too much dough air but it was still very chewy, like donut tree’s dough airiness but problem with donut tree is the dough is too rigid.
This place has some donuts that are better than rainbow donuts. I would say they’re pretty on par for food quality, except this place is much more enticing due to box presentation and friendly staff/owner with literate English. But the chocolate bar and glazed is too good!!“

“Was at an event in Whittier and was craving a donut after. I didn't want an old chain like Dunkin or Yum Yum. I am so happy I came across Cherri's Donuts! The place was very clean and bright. I was happy to see that they had blueberry cake donuts because they are my absolute favorite. They are by far the best ones I have ever had. So airy, light, and not too sweet. The ones I usually get are denser and sweeter. Now that I've had this one, I will be dreaming about it! Unfortunately, I don't live near the area so won't be able to go as often. The man helping us out was very nice and funny! I can't wait to go back!“

“Jean Donuts is a 1000% way to support small businesses than large retail donut chains like Krispy Kreme. The donuts were not too sweet, just perfectly sweet and glazed on top. Moisture of the bread was spot on, and the fruit flavor of the blueberry donut appears to be the main winner. Donuts are very budget friendly $1.99 per donut. Lady in the front was very kind and generous. We will come back again!!“

“PK Donuts are the best I've ever had. Their dough is top quality and has a special taste. Our favorite place to go and family owned. 😊“

“I didn't realize how spoiled we were to have such fresh and tasty donuts so close to home until we tried another place, on vacation, and were severely disappointed...

Aside from the pure quality, they have fun making cool donuts, like ninja turtle donuts, Dodgers donuts, holiday-themed donuts...

Thank you May, and the rest of the staff, for always being kind, for delivering a consistently high quality product, and for putting a smile on my mother's face when we bring her your doughnuts.“

“I'm new in the neighborhood, from New York. They make great coffee, doughnuts, drinks and sandwiches. The girl was pleasant and spoke politely. The prices are good and this will now be my go to coffee shop. I highly recommend this coffee spot.“

“The workers are very lively and nice people! They have a good variety of foods and drinks and their donuts and other types of foods are priced well and are very cheap unlike most donut shops nowadays. I was surprised how light, fluffy, and perfect their glaze donuts were. An easy and relaxing spot if you’re looking for a cheap and tasty brunch!👍“

“Love this place! :)“

“Perfect little donut shop. Everyone working was nice and polite. Prices are very good. While I was there enjoying a donut with my son there were several regulars who went in on a Thursday to pick up donuts to go.

Kid-friendliness: It's a donut shop with plenty of clean tables and chairs.“

“Best Donuts in Downey. The staff are amazing. We've been going here over 10 years. Their croissants are soft and buttery. You cannot go wrong with their Apple Frittler. The traditional donuts are always on point. And their specialty donuts like the oreo cookie and fruity pebbles are yummy.“

“I do really like it here the owner is super friendly not rude like other owners, his lady making the sandwiches is super nice as well and helps as a Spanish translator, if that helps, the donuts are absolutely fresh and fluffy and the croissants are super super delicious fluffy and crispy!! I like to eat here once in a while when I’m craving a good breakfast before work , he’s always busy and everybody seems to know him and I don’t think I have seen anyone not buy a dozen donuts here !! 5 stars highly recommend !!“

“great donuts! great service!“

“His doughnuts are the 'Best!" Get their early B4 they are ALL GONE!!! My favorite is Jonathan's Grandma's apple fritter! 'BEST DONUTS EVER!" DELICIOUSLY FRESH,TASTY TIME!¡ 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩“

“The best donuts in town. Great food and great service and the staff are super friendly. Fresh food too. The burrito and the terriyaki chicken bowl are pretty popular in there. Besides those, they serve a variety kinds of breakfast, lunch and dinners. My most favorite place to grab my daily food.“

“Every day,their donuts are fresh😋😋😋👍👍👍“

“Feels and tastes like love. From the extremely friendly and welcoming person taking the order, to the cook in the back. I got a coffee, donut and a #7 (chicken sandwich) and idk what kinda delicious seasoning they use but it's perfect. I'll be coming backfor sure“

“I love this place pillowy doughnuts fresh soft best doughnuts I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid girl with my with my grandma now at 48yrs old I drive to El Monte to have my coffee n doughnuts n I bring my friends here polite. Family owned I will always support n bring my money here“

“I discovered JJs by accident when I made an improper u turn into traffic, and it was one of the best mistakes of my life. I dream of their breakfast sandwiches, especially the croissant one. By far some of the best quality and amount of food for your money and the friendly staff make the experience even more enjoyable. You wouldn't assume this from driving past, but JJs is a Michelin star restaurant in the making and I am obligated to make a pitstop any time I drive through along the 10.“

“Best shaved ice ever!“

“A coworker told me about this place for good priced breakfast sandwiches, and this is genuinely my new favorite donut/sandwich place. The man who works there is so kind and helpful. He knows exactly which donut I point at and will let me know the name for next time.

The tuna fish sandwich is so good! I’m extremely picky (it’s hard finding a good tuna fish) and this sandwich is everything. The smack it on a homemade croissant and I always add spouts, which he immediately said yes to when I asked.

I can’t not talk about their donuts however. They’re delicious!!!! Their bear claw is filled with cinnamon and apple filling, and when I say their glazed is extremely similar to Kristy Kremes, I mean, it’s spot-on but better. They’re lighter and fluffier.

I seriously love this place, the kindness of the workers/owner, and the food for the price is unbeatable. My new favorite place to stop for a quick lunch!!“

“Wow... The doughnuts are AMAZING.... the donuts dough is so soft.. I was reluctant to get into the place due to the outside appearance, but the donuts and cakes they make are delicious, and like I said the dough is so tender and soft... It's my new favorite place to get donuts ?. Definitely will come back and I 100% recommend this donut shop. Go in and try it you won't be disappointed. They also have sandwiches and the drinks are super hot... I got a vanilla cappuccino and the drink was super hot ...“

“Excellent service, sweet ladies, great prices & a humble atmosphere�“

“daddys donuts are absolutely amazing always fresh i highly recommend if I could give a 1 million star i definitely would. best donuts in Florida!“

“Order dozen donuts with coffee
Had to buy creamer for 10 cent each
Coffee didn't taste fresh and tasted a little water down for my liking.
Services seemed rushed and there was no crowed or even anyone else in there with me.
But the donuts were delicious and fresh.
I would definitely be going back for sure.
Tables were more like waiting for your order, not a dine in spot.“

“Donuts are so fresh and delish. Been going there since they opened. Lunch is also good and freash.“

“This Yum Yum donuts is THE BEST in the San Gabriel area. The staff is very polite, professional and efficient. Both Sophia and Viegney are wonderfully genuine human beings who are kind and ready to be of service to others. The baker is phenomenal, his donuts are not greasy/oily and they are very well done fresh each day. If you want to eat something very Yummy; Yum Yum donuts at Maine and Los Angeles St is THE PLACE.“

“Super fun place! It’s fun for everyone. Delicious donuts!“

“I love going here all the time before or after school. The items aren't so expensive and are a good price. The sandwiches and boba there are so good I get some all the time I'm there. It a good place to grab something and go, or to even just sit down and eat. My friends and I go here to get something and to study or talk. The workers are nice there, and are quick when getting your order done. I recommend to try at least one of their sandwiches, it always good.“

“Donuts 🍩 are soft and delicious 😋. There's a variety to choose from. They also make really good bagels 🥯 and croissants sandwiches 🥪 😋. With a good 👍🏼 coffee ☕️. You could eat inside there's plenty of chairs and tables. People here are very nice.“

“The #24 breakfast sandwich is very filling. It would be nice if there was a little less mayo and the cucumber was cut up a little more. The chocolate donut was good but crumbled very easily. Staff is friendly, will definitely stop by again!“

“Out of all the donut shops around the area, this is by far my favorite place to come. Of course when they get busy it takes a minute longer for my order but overall the best place to relax and enjoy my coffee and donuts. There sandwiches are delicious as well and made to my liking.“

“The donuts here are the BOMB. There is nothing fancy about them, they have all the usual ones a donut place should have like glazed, twists, devilsfood etc. But these donuts are delicious. They are perfectly sweet with a perfect consistency. I could eat a whole box! The only thing that I'm not happy about is that their prices have gotten kind of expensive. I also used to get a discount when I ordered a dozen or more, but now it's close to $20 bucks. I used to get a dozen+ every weekend, but now I'll maybe get one dozen a month or just stop in and just get a couple of chocolate glazed. I don't know if it's just inflation or if they have changed management or owners. Overall, if you want a GOOD donut, you need to goto this place. I recommend the chocolate glazed they taste like heven.“

“By far the best glazed donut and cinnamon roll donut I have ever had! And I've had my share of donuts, but hands down the glazed donut was delicious! It was like cake! The texture how soft and spongy the dogh was, no oil flavor at all and it wasn't to sweet it was flavored perfectly!!! If yall haven't been here to try these donuts out, you have been missing out !! I'm going back today to buy some more for the fam!!“

“Some of the best donuts around. Have been the same for many many years. Food and coffee are great. Service always with a smile. She always refuses my tip and throws in extra donuts. Prices are super. I drive out of my way when I want a good donut to go there. Hope they never change!“

“best chow mein ive ever have and good service 👍 10/10“

“When Im craving a donut this is the place to go. The staff are always friendly and any time of the day they always have multiple selection of donuts. I always recommend friends and family to purchase from them.
I highly recommend you give them a try when you’re in the neighborhood.“

“Best donuts I have ever eaten! Go early if you want the apple fritters.“

“I'm not from the area, but I stopped by for something sweet. I loved everything. I had a donut and the tables/chairs were clean. The store was very clean, which is what I loved. Customer service was good too!!!!
Definitely recommend 👌: )“

“Their doughnuts and sandwiches are very tasty. The staff are very friendly and always make conversation while assisting me. It feels like a true neighborhood business.
