Customer Reviews
Picked up a TooGoodToGo box, way worth the price. You get a wide variety of donuts and 8 times out of 10 they're super moist. Service was great, the store can get a little busy in the morning but usually filters quickly. There are a lot of avaliable parking spots everytime I go there. The coconut donut and small circular one w/white frosting are amazing.
Anytime I come to visit from Texas I make sure that I bring my kids to Circus Donuts. Their donuts are fresh, flavorful and fulfilling down to the last bite. My son loves their chocolate sprinkle donuts. It's worth the visit and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. :)
Tastes good, highly recommended and great value!
All these for $4 using the Too Good To Go app. Tasted only a few hours, not a day old. Had more stale donuts at full price at other shops.
I'm not a donut person. However, I wanted to treat my co-workers. Donuts are fresh and very friendly service.
The donuts didn't last long at work. Many compliments received and one was the best donut they have ever had.
If you went here in the 80s, donuts here were more light, fluffy and priced very attractively. It's different now. The dining area is a gambling hall/living room for illegal aliens, person behind the counter just shrugs if you do not speak Vietnamese. A joke compared to its former owners.
The best donuts I have ever had. My two girls would love to walk there almost every day to get the sprinkle donuts.
Circus Donuts is ever so good. Their donuts are made there and they are always fresh. They have a great selection and they also have drinks. They also sell bagels and they are just wonderful, I buy them by the bag when I am in Torrance. The service is super friendly and there is never a long wait. You will love this place. Parking is easy and free.
Pretty good donuts. Except for the plain ones. No one likes plain donuts. ?? But for the price it's All Good! Friendly Cashier. Friendly Ppl. Thank You.
Love the vintage signs, donuts were ok, great place to play the Lottery ??
Always fresh donuts at decent prices, very friendly lady at the counter. They have seating also a television. They also offer bagels and other delicious sweets. other items on hand croissants, ham sandwich, bagels. Ask them to warm it up for you, plenty of coffee drinks and other cold drinks in the cooler. They have lotto machines also mega millions and other lottery tickets
Coffee taste like water, Apple fritter was to soggy an to sweet, ham and cheese croissant had more dough then anything, my toddler dropped the donut on the floor without even taking a bit yet I picked it up to show her an threw it away an asked for a new one an she looked at me funny an tossed it on the counter with a problem. I know this is my feelings about this place y'all can go if you like it an convenient for you but I'm not going back it was my first an last time going.
When I went to circus doughnuts with my daughter on our way to drop her off for a sleepover, she asked me if there was a bathroom because her diaper was soaked and we were running late to the sleepover. I asked the lady behind the counter if there was a bathroom and she told me "no, If your daughter needs diapers, clearly you're a bad parent." My daughter is 12 and has been struggling to not wet or soil herself day and night since her dad left us when she was 5 years old She asked me if she could wear dia
Circus Donut was fine, I've only came here once but the lady attended to us right away, they had a small selection of donuts at the time we arrived (about 8pm). The place seemed clean and have a nice selection of drinks.
Grouchy and slightly rude old lady clerk was short tempered but efficient. Donuts were excellent and cheaply priced. Thai Tea with boba was fantastic and cheaper here than anywhere else I've seen, by half. Seriously, $2 for small, $2.50 for large. You can't beat that!!!
Good prices and friendly staff. You can tell this place was THE donut shop 30 years ago. But it didn?t feel safe taking my daughter in on a Saturday morning and 8/12 of a dozen is not a dozen. Will try again soon and update again.
I have been coming here for years and it never fails to make me happy when I stop by. Went by last night after 8 p.m. and the donuts were fresh and yummy! I don't indulge very often but when I do this is where I go :-)
Not to greatest ?? or the worst.... I thought the raspberry jelly donut was good... My wife got a chocolate chocolate chip donut and half of it was not cooked through .... My daughter Kathryn ate a chocolate long john but it tasted like maple syrup... Also both of the Lotto machine were out of order and they sold me 3 loose tickets from behind the counter...
Very bad service. I just sent to buy cigarettes : counter lady was very rude and impolite (no hello, thank you, have a good day,?). The place is situated conveniently for me but I?ll skip it now and go to the gas station across the street.
Bad. All bad. We went for ice cream- God knows how long that ice cream has been sitting there that it was super dried out. She couldn't scoop it up so she put pieces of dried out ice cream on cone. We gave it back to her & left. As for the donuts, we didn't try those. Looks like they're really stingy with frosting on top of donuts- hardly any thing.
Good spot for loto tickets. Didn't have many donuts when I went it, but the did have cronuts filled with custard!!! I was stoked to find those. It was also 7pm, so not really peak donut houra. Lol. Still really good.
Im never coming to this place ever again i Was the only customer in the store yet the worker was rushing me and then gave me a rude lecture on the name of the donut that i got wrong telling me not to call that donut by that name blah blah blah she went on and on lecturing me I went there early morning for donuts not for a donut seminar her attitude was worse than her lecture it was no way to treat a customer all that for underbaked Donuts
The ladies that work there were so wonderful they just made you feel good with there smile .the donuts had a a very good taste .
I always go here in the morning after getting my morning coffee, this is such a wonderful place to get your breakfast from. Their donuts are unique and tasty.
Horrible, 4 dozen donuts and all stale for 43$. Shameful
Coffee's great, donuts are fresh and the service is very friendly, when I'm in the area you'll find me there in the mornings.
This is one of the best place to get donuts in town if you ask me they have a good selection I come here all the time to get donuts for my mom is she is in her 80s and loves them the price is good the selection is great what more do you want God bless you all
This place has thee best donuts I?ve ever EVER HAD!!!! Wow!!! Not that I am a huge consumer of donuts, but, these MELT in your mouth! Spectacular!
I went there before work, the donuts were delicious, but bring cash, they charge if you use your debit card.
Came in at night to get half a dozen and the doughnuts were stale and hard like if they've been sitting there for 2 days....when i asked if they were fresh from the morning I was told yes with a rude attitude I wouldnt come here again.
Very friendly, cozy, & clean. The donuts, & coffee are outstanding. I'd go back, for sure!
Fresh donuts, Jalape?o ham and cheese croissant was very good, not the strongest coffee but okay.
Very good donuts, good price & nice staff.
Wow. Great donut holes at 6pm, almost unheard of. Great taste, quick service
Donuts coffee etc .. people doing lottery even keno ... thirty dollar scratchers ... really guess a good past time ......
