    The buttermilk bar, which is pleasantly dense, is something of a legend around these parts on Sawtelle. The cinnamon buns have a wonderfully moist and doughy center. Read more

    Primo’s has been run by the same couple for almost 60 years. Be sure to try the famous buttermilk doughnut, sweet, dense, and slightly crisped on the edges, then finished off with the rich glaze. Read more

    Freshly made and warm, the buttermilk bar is one of my favorite donuts anywhere. The cinnamon bun is also very good. Their other yeast donuts are good though unspectacular. Skip the cake donuts.

    I absolutely love this place. I used to get doughnuts for my staff when I worked nearby. Now I'm in Santa Monica & continue to come here. Mr. & Mrs. Primo are so sweet & always come out to say hi
