Mohammed Abu HajarSeptember 25, 2020A great donuts shop and breakfast bagels, i ordered the Smoked salmon Philadelphia cheese with onions and the Turkey cheese croissant was yummy & pumpkin donut was fresh and light, try their latte 👍
Rebecca SJuly 9, 2013Best mom n pop donut shop. Open 24 hours and basically they got everything here! Donuts, bagels, breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Many choices on drinks too! From coffee to smoothies with boba! Yum!
Veronica ChaviraJuly 14, 2018Donut heaven! Try the Samoa Girl Scout cookie donut, red velvet bacon bits donut or the sprinkle cake donut. Every type of donut you can think of! Open 24 hours! In business for 35 years!
Cronuts! Red Velvet, DK's Original Glazed, Maple Bacon & much, much more! 🍩☕ Great Customer Service! Parking gets packed & a bit tight but, manageable- also, on street! 24 hours! 7-eleven next door👍
Really fun donut shop with tons of varieties to choose from, all at affordable prices. Was predominantly featured in the Hulu documentary The Donut King and is a fascinating AAPI watch.
Robin SandersSeptember 5, 2014Gotta go for what they're known for. Waffle donuts! I also had the red velvet waffle donut. That was good because I love red velvet ❤️❤️
Justin OrdovezaNovember 8, 2014Love their selection of donuts. Very inventive and unique creations with a large variety. The maple bar with bacon is a great choice.
Jason BMarch 24, 2019Quite the selection of donuts! Bring cash, though! They don’t take cards, which is funny, because their booth at last year’s #EatPlayMove Filipino Foodie Fest accepted cards.
Paige CAugust 12, 2015What a selection! A little overwhelming and some were definitely more desirable than others. Cronut was great!
Ryan WelchAugust 13, 2014Try the donuts. Seriously, you can't go wrong with any of their selections. I wouldn't run out for their O-Nut or waffle donut but their glazed is to kill for.
their specialty donuts are okay in terms of taste. presentation is fun. i've had better donuts =\. currently obsessed with their sprinkled donut holes or anything with sprinkles
ChadFebruary 29, 2016Soooo many great donut and cronut choices! The best spot we've come across in the Los Angeles area. Forget waiting in line in that other spot near Downtown.
Reina SalasJanuary 11, 2016If you get a cronut, be sure to ask them to heat it up. That's the best way to have them!!! (Unless you are getting one with filling-then I'm not sure)
We're open 24 hours & we're known for our maple bacon bars, our breakfast burritos and croissants, &our strawberry banana smoothies topped off with homemade whipped cream. Come in and meet the family!
gina momJuly 14, 2013They have cronuts! And a HUGE selection of basically everything: croissants, coffee, hot dogs, sandwiches, juices, fresh fruit... You name it!
Jessie RSeptember 14, 2014Donuts are really unique and delicious! The apple fritter is the best I've had.
Yousif DMarch 21, 2016Best donuts ever!! They are so Fresh!! Get the original glazed with coconut, and you will never regret it!! 👌🏽😍
BaltimoreGalJune 17, 2019Older than I expected it to be but also pretty wild, the sheer number of donuts, plus the wild colors/flavors/decorations. Yum.
Connie ChiuAugust 19, 2016UBE DONUTS AND CRONUTS!! The donuts look beautiful sitting behind glass 😍 and the guy who helped us was the best.
Moe ShehataFebruary 28, 2016My friends and I loved it. We grubbed on donuts like there is no tomorrow. Try ordering ones with ice cream in the middle. #heaven #BMQ
Nate TinnerSeptember 15, 2016They seem to always have some experimental item on the menu, usually tasty and a cholesterol nightmare.
Matt LewDecember 13, 2014Part donut, part waffle, 100% fried and covered in sugar. Stop by DK’s for this delicious treat at 1614 Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica.
They are some of the fastest, nicest people you will ever meet. Oh, and the donuts are bomb.com!
Great selection and 24 hours. They get regular business from me.
Justin McCammonMarch 25, 2015They call Cronuts Onuts so they don't get sued. Taste great under any name. Follow them on instagram to gain 20 pounds instantly.
Christian John VolzMay 29, 2017Everything been here too delicious been here too many times🌴🌴j#@co my new runner.
It's usually a clusterfuck, with no clear organization, resulting in a lot of people waiting around the counter, with a long line and people feeling rushed to order without a chance to look at options
Offbeat L.A.April 9, 2016Opened in 1980 by by Lee & Kong, two Khmer refugees who immigrated to America.
Get the Cronut hole instead of the Cronut. They are both awesome but the whole is the best!
GarrickOctober 17, 2011I've driven past many Dunkin' Donuts to come here. Why suffer corporate blandness when you can get a tasty variety of pastries and support a classic local business?
Yarissa MartinezSeptember 21, 2013just wanted cash (the have a private atm inside) no bathrooms and $5 per o-nut!
Best donuts in the Westside. Good deal on donut holes, 1 dozen for a dollar...I mean $1.75- GracefaceJuly 15, 2013Cronut was OK. Tasted more like a deep fried croissant with sugar and fillings. I guess the deep fried part makes it part donut? AND it was $5!!!!

"Absolutely fresh and fantastic – get the huckleberry or a glazed for a sweet treat but make sure you get there in time to try their savory eggs benedict donut too. You won't be disappointed!"
