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!“

“The doughnuts are always exceptional, a bit pricey but so is every other doughnut shop since COVID. It's something all the big industries took advantage of. The Krispy Kreme shops that cook them in shop are always the best but these are good too. These doughnuts are dangerous, you can't help but eat the whole box. Most places give you free samples, this one doesn't though.“

“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….“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“Yummy donuts everything looks delicious 😋“

“很美味的甜品，美食虽好可不要贪多呀“

“I personally really liked these donuts. They’re very reasonably priced and very delicious. We order six donuts and were given a box that’s made for a dozen. I wish they hand out bags to make it easier to carry especially in the city.“

“Great spot! My mom is celiac and it’s rare (like never happens!) that she can find a gf donut. This spot is dedicated gluten free and she was soooo stoked to visit Hello Yr Welcome twice during her recent visit to LA. We got 3 donuts her first time in and 1/2 dozen the second (bc she loved them so much). They were all very flavorful and delicious!

Staff is super friendly and we enjoyed talking with them. Oh and the coffee is great. I got some delicious espresso / good flavor and not bitter - they know how to pull a shot ☕

Also worth noting that all the breakfast sandos and other items look delicious as well! But we were just focused on my moms rare opportunity to enjoy a donut

Worth getting here early as they do tend to sell out of some flavors by afternoon. We found there’s plenty of street parking in the surrounding area, even on the weekends.

Thanks for an awesome dedicated gf bakery, hello yr welcome team 🙏“

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

“Very fresh and great looking donuts!“

“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 !!“

“Best doughnuts in Pasadena and everything tastes fresh“

“Tried them for the first time today and they threw in extra donuts for free for my baby’s bday! Wonderful and helpful staff, the atmosphere was amazing and they seemed so happy to be there. Thank you guys!! :)“

“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!“

“Amazing owners. Very kind and warm. Make you feel like family! They are open early (4:30am) and that is nice! The donuts are higher quality, fresh, and reasonably priced. The dozen was about $20. They were also very kind and accommodating. I requested the donuts be cut in half, and they were happy to help!

Highly recommend. Plenty of free parking in the lot, and street side.“

“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.“

“The best donuts ever! We have been going here for years. It's so convenient that they are open 24 hrs.
The assortment of donuts is amazing. They have the best lemon filled donuts. Everything is great at Foster's. If you haven't tried Foster's Donuts you don't know what you're missing.“

“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“

“The shop was clean, organized, and the donuts were beautifully displayed with a wide variety of flavors to choose from.

The donuts had the perfect texture, soft and chewy with a light crisp on the outside. They offered flavors like Oreo, Biscoff, Strawberry & Cream, Chocolate, Vanilla Glaze, Fruity Pebbles, and Churro. I also liked that they weren’t overly sweet.

June and Brandon were both incredibly welcoming from the moment I walked in. Since it was hard deciding between all the flavors, they were patient, helpful, and never made me feel rushed. They answered questions thoughtfully, gave great recommendations, and had such friendly attitudes throughout the visit.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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!¡ 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“great donuts! great service!“

“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 ...“

“They are the most freshes and delicious donuts I have ever had. They put Dunkin’ Donuts 🍩 to shame.“

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

“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!“

“I was craving a donut, and went to 2 other shops which both didnt look good to me and this one was the 3rd which they say 3 times the charm... well let me tell you, its true!! This donut shop hands down has probably the best donut ive had and ive had many.. they are so soft,the dough tastes fresh and they just taste like they are made with love. The service is great idk if they are wife and husband but they are very sweet and the shop is very clean. You can tell the donuts are made fresh, and made by a certian amount in order to give you fresh ones.. they have really good Boba shakes too.
I definitely went back the very next day because they are that good, craving good!“

“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,“

“Best donuts in los Angeles period“

“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!!“

“YUMMMY!

I try not to come here tooooo much because the donuts are a problem 😭
They are way delicious and you an tell it’s freshly made. The iced coffee had a distinct roast. A+

Also Tina is super kind 😃“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for over 23 years, and this place has consistently been one of the best donut shops in El Monte. The donuts are always fresh and delicious, and the service is exceptional every single time. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and truly makes you feel appreciated as a customer. It’s rare to find a place that maintains such great quality and consistency for so many years. Highly recommend!“

“It's 3AM and you want some donuts, a sandwich, or whatever kind of comfort.... this place has got you.

On our way home from some degeneracy and I got a jalapeno ham cheese croissant and some donuts. It was hot and fresh out the kitchen and straight into my mouth I could barely contain myself on the drive home.

Now it's nothing special and but given the context this was the best thing to end that night (morning?) with.

Food: 8/10
Service: 8/10
Value: 9/10“

“Underrated gem! ⭐
Omg the breakfast sandwich and lunch sandwich options here…
My donut and breakfast sandwich was so good. I got an iced coffee that was perfect. They have coffee & smoothies too. Not expensive, friendly staff & family owned. Would totally recommend this spot“

“One of my favorite donut shopsin the area. My favorite is their apple fritter and my fiance is their lemon jelly donut! The owners are Cambodian and are always so kind to us. I will continue to support them and the other Cambodian-owned donut shops in Arcadia/Monrovia.“

“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!👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very nice people indeed, all the costumer that gies here ate like families. They’ve been in the business for almost 3 decades and everyone knows and loves them so much for being such a friendly and accommodating owner. I love this place!!!“
