50 Best Donuts near South Pasadena

“I’ve started visiting this location often because of the friendly staff, the quality of the food, and the regulars. I notice only one or two employees manage the shop, but they still do a great job of getting people fed. 🙂 The pepperoni pizza bagel transported me back to childhood. Delish!“

“First time here, young lady cashier Taylor was extremely patient and helpful. I went up to the register and then my son became indecisive and Taylor just made the situation calm and easy by being patient and helpful. I know I probably would’ve been a little impatient but she was just so kind and professional. Thanks for the great experience Taylor. Will definitely return when in the area again!“

“Visited here today from Pittsburgh, PA and these are, without a doubt, the best donuts I’ve ever tasted in my life (I’ve tasted a lot 🤣😝). I don’t usually review places but that’s how amazing these are….“

“很美味的甜品，美食虽好可不要贪多呀“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“These donuts were amazing! I'm not a donut person and I almost didnt come because I was worried that it'd be overhyped. But after some reddit reading and persuasion from my bf, I bought a box of donuts. Quite expensive for donuts personally, but it was totally worth it!! The donuts are so fluffy. The texture is insanely good. The ones with filling are stuffed to the brim. So worth the cost! And the calories! Tried french cruller, glazed, chocolate glazed, raspberry filled, boston cream filled, peanut butter and jelly filled, along with cinnamon sugar. All of them were so amazing and they tasted so fresh!“

“They are one of the few places (especially in the Los Feliz area) that have very reasonable prices and food is amazing and fresh. The donuts are always very good, fresh and super fluffy. The owners are super friendly to everyone. Great place for breakfast!“

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

“Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the charming, highly-rated Hello You're Welcome café. They make and bake everything in house- you can even see the ovens. Really friendly staff with a slight hippie vibe. Some items were made with almond flour, like their giant chocolate chip cookie, so I had to skip them (allergic). I was pleasantly overwhelmed by a delicious gigantic frittata slice with bacon, onions, and tater tots inside. Togadachi coffee is really interesting: the beans were fermented with lavender. Extra sugar helped me adjust to the unique flavor. The wall full of retail items features coffee beans in VHS boxes, which is a first! I love their mugs and bought one to take home.“

“Very fresh and great looking donuts!“

“Best doughnuts in Pasadena and everything tastes fresh“

“Was juat here this morning and I was gonna buy a churro crossaint but ended up buying a breakfast sandwich instead. Sandwich was pretty big, coffee was good, and the guy knew I wanted to try the crossaint so he still gave me a free sample with ny sandwich without me asking. Excellent service. I'd be a regular here if I lived in glendale.“

“I'm not from here but this morning I had a really yummy omelet and the donuts are so good the people that work there are very hospitable and friendly thank you“

“Love this gems from walking in , friendly service and quality. Jalapeño bagel was yummy and my latte was perfect . I forgot to ask to make it less sweet, but it was perfect like I want it too.“

“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!“

“First time having vegan donuts and Andres was super patience and welcoming. I recommend the rites of sprinkles, the jelly sound, and the promise ring. They were all delicious. I also had a cold brew with oat milk that was refreshing.“

“I seriously loved my experience at Foster Donuts. You can tell right away it’s a family-owned spot — the atmosphere feels welcoming and genuine, not like a big chain at all. The customer service was amazing, super friendly and fast, and they really make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time.

The donuts were incredible, especially the glaze mini bites — those were honestly my favorite. Fresh, soft, and just the right amount of sweetness. You can taste the quality.

If you’re looking for a local donut shop with great vibes and even better donuts, this place is 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be coming ba“

“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'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!👍“

“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!¡ 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩“

“great donuts! great service!“

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

“I just love this place. 1 day I was looking on Google for early morning donut shop that was open and I found this place. It opens at 430am. It's also a drive threw. This place is a little hidden gem. If you're ever in Elmonte area, I totally recommend it. They're coffee. It's off the hook. And the donuts are always fresh. My brother and I love going there.
It's family oriented. I just can't express how much I really love this place. The coffee is so delicious. I give it a 10 out of a 10 better than any Starbucks. They also have ice coffee's flavored coffees. And it doesn't break the bank,“

“Prices have gone up from when I 1st started going with my GF. I remember my GF and I would go specifically for her bobas but they are now 6$ I remember literally a year ago they were 4.75$ the doughnuts are just ok. You can tell when they are yesterdays or even the day before. They crumble apart. Besides that we did find that going to winchells Doughnuts was much less expensive and better.“

“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 !!“

“This donut shop has good reviews, so I went to check it out. They have a large selection of donuts, pastries, muffins, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, fresh juices, and lotto tickets. The donuts were tasty as was the breakfast sandwich I ordered. This is definitely worth going to if you're in the area.“

“Sandwiches are the best here lol I know it’s donut factory. The donuts are good, but the sandwiches are 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 I usually get the #12 Turkey croissant. The ratio of meat and veggies and pickles and jalapeño really make the sandwich. Great neighborhood spot. Gets busy during peak brekkie and lunch hours.“

“EThe best place to stop by is Hagara, especially because it has a drive-through. Sometimes it’s nighttime, and I’m already thinking about going there in the morning when I wake up for my donut and coffee. The staff is some of the best you’ll find, whether you speak Spanish or English. They always provide excellent service. The best!“

“Everything about this place is amazing—I’ve tried boba drinks, sandwhiches, donuts, coffees, and juices (probably more stuff too i just dont remember), and all were SOOO tasty 😋 I would come here quite often after school to pick up a thai tea boba and a warmed up croissaint: OMG the croissaint is buttery and has a very nice cheese-like pull to it when you bite into it 🤤🤤 And the donuts are amazing as well 😄 they’re soft and are never too sweet 😌 Also they do cash and apple pay but I think they charge you $1.00 or less (i dont remember 😅) to use apple pay.“

“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 ...“

“Fantastic donuts did such an amazing job with our daughter‘s bday order!! Every single donut was decorated with such incredible detail and so much love, everyone at the party was blown away- especially our little birthday girl! And did I mention yet how delicious they were!? WOW!! Thanks so much, from our family to yours!!“

“The best turnovers I have ever had! Keep up the good work!“

“They always have a lot of different flavors to choose from, and it’s fun to pick out a box with new combinations each visit. The donut “dressing” and toppings are amazing and creative, but the flavors are well balanced so the donuts are not too sweet, just super satisfying and delicious.“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“Love this place! :)“

“Great, fresh donuts at an excellent price. Amazing selection 24/7, friendly, helpful service. This place is a gem.“

“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!“

“We came in from out of town and wanted a sweet treat to end the night. We stopped by here and the donuts were so good! The man behind the counter, who I assume was the owner was very nice and let us hang out inside for as long as we wanted. Great donuts, kind service, and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Their coffee is always excellent and their doughnuts are yummy thier smoothies are awesome specially their strawberry/banana strawberry/mango thier breakfast sandwiches are also pretty good their not overpriced and you get good quality food and the staff memorizes their regulars. All the staff is very friendly and nice.wellmannered with really good strong work ethics.“

“Went here today for the first time and it was one of the best breakfast area around. Got the iced coffee, fruit juices, and the donuts were made fresh. The owner is absolutely amazing and great service. The drive was about twenty minutes away and I will definitely drive again. 5 stars!“

“Stopped in on a whim while doing laundry.
Delicious coffee, delicious sandwiches, and delicious donuts!
Service was prompt and the woman who served us was very sweet and patient with us.
Atmosphere is comfortable and clean.“

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

“We found this place while driving around LA on a trip. As fans of Trejo, we had to stop. Being from the East Coast and not being fans of the typical strong-tasting dark roasts served at West Coast coffee shops, we didn't expect to love the coffee! We ended up stopping in 3 mornings over our 6 nights in LA because those donuts and the medium roast drip coffee are THAT good! On our first visit, a tray of red velvet donuts came out as we were ordering. OMG, one of the best donuts we'd ever had! Definitely stop by. As fun as it was to take pictures of the decor and Trejo's face on everything, their products are damn delicious!“

“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.“

“They couldn't fulfill my order of 12 maple bars. But they more than made up for it with extra maple goodness. Way more than i expected. The customer service makes it so that I definitely will be ordering from them again. That's why I am giving them my highest recommendation!“

“This place is really good but they don't have all donuts available at the time they open. Went in around 540 (open at 5) and they only had cake donuts and old fashioneds.

I'd call ahead or go in later if you're looking to buy an early morning dozen.“

“I love this place. I come often, almost everyday. I always order a breakfast croissant, an iced coffee (or hot coffee when it's winter) and sometimes a donut. It's a small place so seating may not always be available. Great customer service. They are very nice and polite. Always feel welcomed here. Thank you. 🤗

P.S. They take cash and debit (I believe they charge 75cents for debit.

NO APPLE PAY. Stop asking.

Update: Still love this place. I come so often that they know my order already lol 😂

Parking: It's a small parking lot because there's a laundromat, a Chinese food restaurant, a dental office and a hair salon.“
