DK's Donuts & Bakery

An absolutely beautiful and (mostly) yummy selection of donuts that will both amaze your eyes and make your stomach happy. We chose a dozen of some of the most interesting and fun donuts either of us have had and while almost all were amazing, there were a few that were more style over substance which isn?t that surprising. Service was good and helpful and prices were a bit high but worth the quality. The parking lot is a little rough to get a space and we were blocked in while trying to leave while some

When I asked the owner what one of his donuts tasted like and if he thought it was good, he replied and said "I don't eat donuts. I just make them." A cook who won't eat his own food and offer feedback is a cook I don't trust. The oils and flavoring have a very peculiar taste that I did not enjoy at all. I actually thought that the donuts at 7-Eleven next door tasted much better.

The service and donuts were as 5 stars as it gets. The reason for a lower rating was that the price was significantly higher than other donut locations with near the same quality. Overall, I would definitely go again, but not all the time for the price.

Nice establishment. Staff is nice. First time here. Donuts are okay but I was really disappointed with the Ube donut. It didn?t have a strong Ube flavor. The double dipped chocolate donut was very chocolaty but I was hoping for a double dip in the chocolate glaze. I might come back and try other flavors but they don?t have any orange flavor.. just orange creamsicle. I like orange without the creamsicle. Worth another look.

Upon my arrival very nicely decorated donuts 4 designer donuts an one regular maple bar(2.50) was a total of 19.50$ Service can be better or have a more welcoming approach/atmosphere Parking was good just lock your doors

4 assorted donuts / 1 glazed, 1 reese peanut butter, 1 cinnamon sugar o-nut (cronut), 1 nutella strawberry o-nut - 5 ?! DK's Donut & Bakery in Santa Monica is an excellent, family-owned 24-hour donut shop and cafe that has been in business for over forty years. They have a mouth-watering selection of fresh donuts, including an impressive assortment of cronut inspired donuts. Their little shop is in a small strip mall in Santa Monica. I had no trouble finding parking right outfront. The shop has a colorfu

Amazing donuts, amazing breakfast options, and amazing coffee! The service here is outstanding, friendly and quick. The donut selection can be so unique but every bit as delicious as an old fashion donut! I recommend trying anything that catches your eye as you won't be disappointed! They have so many breakfast options from croissant sandwiches, to bagel sandwiches and even breakfast burritos. My personal favorite is the Max special bagel sandwich. If your in the area, stop by and treat yourself.

The donuts are wonderful and cute great for fulfill colorful childhood dream. Bacon maple is my favorite !

There was more but we'd already had some. Great lil' place. Makes fresh donuts and more, including cronut breakfast sandwiches.

Where?s the owner? I don?t think the girl from the best of LA interviews would be happy with how the business is being represented. Waited 5+ minutes to be acknowledged and no greeting when I walked in the store. One worker behind the counter at the register, she was sitting on a bucket with her back turned to customers eating pork ribs and watching YouTube videos. I get it?s her break but go in the back because it?s off putting to be eating ribs at the counter of a donut shop. The girl who helped us actu

A true taste sensation. My guests were thrilled with each donut in the variety I chose. I called on the phone and asked them to hold 8 of a particular donut and they did! Great service you rarely find today as they didn't even know me. U will definitely be returning to DK's

Nice local corner family style doughnut shop. Big menu big selections and very tasty. The cronut selection here is especially nice so I'd definitely get more next time I visit. It shared the same plaza as seven eleven so the parking is a bit tight.

really good ham and cheese croissants. They also recently started accepting credit cards for orders over $10 which is very convenient. They have a wide array of specialty/seasonal donuts. I always get the ham and cheese croissant and a couple donuts. Gotta love the Khmer donut shops, nobody does it quite like them .

Edit: I contacted the shop on Friday for 2x 10 by 10 Texas sized donut for pick on Saturday. Super last minute I know but I was blown away by the customer service and I already knew the donuts were going to be fire. I literally only agreed to a little birthday lunch just so I can have the Texas size donuts as my cake....We will never go back to traditional cakes** This place was worth every single mile I drove from Santa Clarita. Had this place on my food bucket list and was going to be in the area so I m

Very friendly and fast staff. Every time I come in here I?m out quick. They?re coffee is very good, which is hard to say for most donut shops. They have specialty donuts, with colorful presentation, which my kids loved. I have also tried their bagels, which are really good. The breakfast burrito was small, but it was only $6 so it was rightfully priced. Big warning they only accept CASH, which most retailers nowadays don?t even take cash. But it?s ok, if you don?t mind. Plenty of parking to go around, very

Great customer service!! They have a variety of fresh festive and traditional donuts. My favorite is the chocolate dipped old fashion; it?s a good chocolate flavor. They also have a selection for a delicious birthday celebration.

One of my favorite donut spots. A creative selection with lots of icing and toppings on every donut. I was going to give 5 stars but unfortunately today's donut was a day old. Not cool. But I'll still go back..

Awesome place! Beautifully crafted treats and deliciously pleasing to both the eye and tummy ?? Check out the documentary, "The Donut King", and get the story behind this great establishment. The 'Donut Pizza' was surprisingly VERY DELICIOUS! I was skeptical to try but the flavors blended so well, none too overpowering, that I am pleased with my order and will definitely recommend. I can't wait to return and try more of those tasty creations.

My favorite Donut shop in Los Angeles. They have all kinds of donuts anything a bear like myself could ever want. Visited this donut shop twice already and will keep coming back for more donuts.

The cronut I had was good, but not very fresh. It was the last one of its flavor, so I guess I could have chosen better. I liked my breakfast sandwich, and really enjoyed the Thai iced tea. Would definitely like to come back and try more of their huge variety of donuts!

Wow. The selection of doughnuts is incredible! There are so many to choose from. The prices are reasonable but they only accept CASH. There is an ATM with a $1.99 fee to use it. Parking is limited as well. Also, there's a 7-11 in the same center that has shady folks hanging around. Just be mindful of your surroundings after 7pm.

At arraiving it felt a bit strange, that only because it didnt looked good from the outside, i thought it would be dirty or some strange place but once stepped inside i drastically changed my mind. They have a ton of different donuts and other stuff. The price is really good and the donuts tasted super delicious. I took 6 different donuts and all were super good even the day after in the fridge they tasted fresh! Would totally go there again, they also have a huuuuge donut for 35$ but its so huge so i didnt

Everything was amazing. The donuts were the yummiest ever. We also got bagels and burritos and those were also great. Anthony was so patient and helpful with our large party. We will definitely be back soon.

The amazing DK Donuts has now teamed up with the daughters princess donuts to provide an even wider selection of novelty and classic donuts. The cases are always stocked with an amazing fresh selection when you go. The place is cash only so bring extra because it's hard to leave with one. From cream puffs to French cruelers to wild fruity pebble topped donuts there is something for everyone. They have sandwiches and coffee too. Be patient because the lot gets busy.

Omg this is a hidden gem, reviews don?t lie, not only they taste good but also have like a great variety of donuts, like a ton. It?s refreshing to have so many donut options

Great tasting fresh donuts!!! Super soft and yummy!!! Tons of flavors to choose from. Small place, lots of coffee choices. Friendly owners, small lot shared by other stores so parking is kinda tight, but lots of street parking available!!

This place always has fresh donuts. You can taste the oil they were cooked in wasn't old but fresh. Great selection and unique flavors to try as well. Awesome prices. And it has a Bodega feel as they also do breakfast sandwiches like egg and cheese but on a buttery croissant. I definitely recommend this place.

Est. 1981 Layout/atmosphere *Located in strip mall; large display case to the right of entrance; takeout only Service *Quick; friendly Food/drink *Maple bar - Good; light, fluffy *Mini Apple fritter - Good; liked the crunch *Old fashioned donut - really good; nice texture [favorite] *Passion fruit donut - good

Love this place! Had the vanilla cr?me donut!!!! Super yum!! I ordered the sausage and cheese bagel for my breakfast. I have to tell you the donuts they have here are so eclectic and way over the top delicious they?re like little cakes. Definitely worth a stop because you won?t want to stop coming in!

While it lacks in trendy modern decor, it more than makes up for it with 24 hrs convenience & delicious, reasonably priced beautiful plus over-the-top gourmet donuts PLUS a selection of all day (& night) breakfast & lunch sandwich eats! If you only care about the food & don?t need the frou-frou decor- this ultra casual spot is it for quick good bites & doughnuts. We had the low carb avocado omelets, ube, lavender, apple fritter & strawberry donuts amongst others...plus decaf coffee. Not a lot of seating

First timer here. The donuts I picked were delicious. The only suggestion for the maple bacon donut is to make it more fresh.

Besides being famous the donuts are actually amazing they have such heritage in Southern California and we always enjoy visiting because the new flavors and varieties that they make. Also there's vegan options

Got the ube.red velvet and plain donuts Could be me but (in my OPINION) i think they are overpriced for old fashioned cake donuts that are only different in color but taste the same if you are alll about aesthetics then you will get your money's worth because the donuts all look inviting and beautiful taste wise they are your regular donuts but with a big ribbon aka coloring and cream/glaze

Cash only! This place is open late, and the staff is super friendly :) they have very original and creative doughnuts, and treats here. There really is something for everything--they even have ube flavored doughnuts. They have stuff filled with cookie dough, nutella or cream, they have ones with cereal, like lucky charms or cinnamon toast crunch, and there is just such a variety. They taste really good too :)

The donuts are very good and several look quite beautiful. My daughters loved the donuts with butterflies and flowers on them. The dough on the raised donuts is very airy and light. The cinnamon sugar twist was perfect. I knocked 1 star off because their fillings aren't amazing and tend to make several of the donuts overwhelmingly sweet. It seems like they use an American buttercream (probably with shortening instead of butter) for some of their cream fillings. So you are eating a donut glazed with su

I've always wanted to go here and I finally did and it was definitely worth the drive! The front of the place doesn't look super appealing and it's small inside the shop, but the donuts speak for itself! I got 6 donuts for about $20 which is a little pricey, with the O-Nuts being about $3 a piece, but oh, so worth it! My favorite out of my box was the DK's Classic House Cream O-Nut, it wasn't too sugary or sweet, it was delicious! Definitely one of my favorite donut shops!

The cronuts are the best I?ve ever tasted! A little pricey at $4 each but they?re super delish!! I thought PinkBox had the best cronut but nope, they do! Tried the baby cronuts and they?re a little dry, stick with the regular ones. The regular glaze is delicious too, very moist with a nice soft bite to it. They always have a big variety of specialty donuts, all flavors and types so if you?re looking for variety this is the place! I live more than 1hr away so I can only come here when in the area for busin

Welcome to DONUT HEAVEN! Cheap, quality, delicious donuts 24/7!! Make sure you bring CASH since they don't accept cards. The donuts are fresh and they offer a huge variety of flavours. I'm literally here every month and my goal is to try all their flavours. That being said, the fact that they have so many different kinds naturally lends to some of them being duds. My suggestion is to grab at least 6 or even a dirty dozen to sample and see which ones hit your spot. MUST TRY: green tea (my absolute fav s

I finally found the Bigfoot of Donuts! Years ago a lady at work brought in Bacon Maple Bars from somewhere in Huntington Beach, then low & behold on my way to a job in Palisades, I decide to stop by this gem only to find Sasquach in a nicely lit bakery. I was there to get a ham & cheese croissant and I couldn't resist nor belive my eyes... I found it! Great croissant freshly baked & a delicious Bacon Maple treat. I know now where to go when I'm in this neck of the woods!

Would recommend the chocolate filled powdered donut it's really good but the area it's in is pretty shady a bunch of homeless people around but they don't bother me. Would go again

I ordered these customized super fun donuts one year ago and again today for my daughter's birthday. My daughter loved them both times. So fun and great service from DK's and delivered to her dorm desk at UCLA. I am out of town and it was great to be able to do this. She said they were delicious.

Glazed Cronut is to die for. Take it home and microwave it til its warm, and you will experience something that you've never had before. All the other donuts are good too, very creative place, not for people who dont like sweets. This spot has it all!

The doughnuts were wonderful and so was the breakfast sandwich on a croissant! Service was cheerful and very accommodating.

Great selection of donuts! Been here quite a few times. Good Coffee. Try their Turkey Croissant Sandwich with all the veggies!

Delicious vegan donuts, 3 flavours! There is also non vegan cronuts available, which are bog time delicious but unfortunately not vegan!

Great food here and donuts ??

The service here is A-1. We accidentally ordered the wrong breakfast burrito and the guy helping me out didn't hesitate to remake my order. Big chains usually have this level of service and its rare to see mom and pop stores go above any beyond. I'm hugely impressed and will definitely visit again.

I give it 4 stars because they only take cash but the actual donuts are so good. It melted in my mouth. Didn't taste overly sweet or like it was fried. Had a croissant veggie sandwich and that was really good too.

AMAZING!! Lots of incredible donuts, plus great breakfast sandwiches, burgers, and fries!

Visiting LA from Colorado. Drove to Santa Monica to try the big donut not knowing that you have to order it the day before in order to get one. So I went with couple of the smaller ones. They have a pretty cool selection, all of the ones we tried were good. If you ask me it's overpriced and the employees are rude. If you don't mind bad service the donuts are pretty good. Also they only take cash.

Me and my girlfriend just got done with our 6 hr drive from the Bay area and wanted a sweet snack before bed These donuts looked and tasted amazing n the customer service was more than amazing especially for being 11:30pm I would highly recommend anyone craving an Overall Great experience

Great little donut shop in Santa Monica. The best part is that it's open 24 hours so you can get your donut fix anytime of the day. The prices are great and the service is friendly and fast. The selection alone will give any donut lover joy. I got the samoa donut, a smore and a house specialty donut that was filled with buttercream, so good. We went early in the morning and there was a line but it moves fast. Also it is cash only so hit the 7-11 if you need to. I recommend going for a quick morning bite.

This place have the best donuts desserts delicious and affordable very friendly and helpful going this place every week I love it

I must say this place is to go if you have a sweet tooth! The donuts are incredible! They do not only look delicious, they taste even better than they look. I Will be coming back for more!

Only two vegan flavors: glazed cake and double dipped chocolate cake.....both were excellent. Crispy outside, moist inside, good flavor with the right amount of sweetness.

I freaking love this place, the croissant donuts with the Nutella are the best. I drive over here from San Fernando valley in the middle of the night as they are open 24 hours. Thank you DK donuts

Kind of disappointed since I was really excited to try these I like the concept of the flavors but in terms of taste, it was pretty mediocre. These donuts costed $15+ in total plus additional $2.49 for the atm fee in their shop since it was cash only. For the price and taste, I didn't really think it was worth it. They all felt kind of dry and the strawberry was sour.

ordered 4 donuts (ube, pride, cookies & cream and chocolate glazed) to try for the first time. my husband liked the good ol' chocolate glaze and i liked the cookies and cream. we came for the ube donut, and although it was good, it wasn't my fave of the 4 that we tried. the dough is very light and you can definitely taste the old-fashioned donut taste, which we enjoyed very much.

Our family got a TGTG bag and 2 extra donuts for our little. The chocolate dipped red velvet is probably the best donut any of us have ever had. It?s hard chocolate on the outside and soft buttery red velvet inside. A MUST try. There?s nothing we haven?t tried and I seen they have a new chorizo burrito that sounds amazing! Stop reading this review and go get a donut already!!!

Best donuts in LA ! this place has a huge selection of donuts and if they don?t have what you want will make it right there on the spot. They have such a great variety and it?s very Instagramable. Located not far from the Santa Monica pier they have easy parking and great service! This place is a must on every foodies list.

Made a spontaneous stop here recently, late on a Friday night. You'd think they might be out of a lot of things but, nope! Plenty of selection served up by the friendly man behind the counter. Waited a few minutes to get in due to the current 4 person at a time limit but we were out several minutes later. Good quality ingredients make for such tasty donuts! Gourmet and traditional varieties, other pastries as well as sandwiches, mini burritos and more!

Went there at late night but ?? that I bought was not soft. Should of waited til the morning for the fresh donut but hey still was decent & the service was top notch! Will be back again in few wks, heading back to SF!

Wow! What a fun exciting place! Everything looks so good and is delicious as well. We tried the Boston Cream Donut- omg!

If your a fan of donuts, then this place is awesome! The selection is huge and you almost can't leave with just 1 dozen! From the the normal donuts to fancy to creative to artistic, you will find something to try! The boxes are designed well too! They do a good job of labeling the prices for the donuts so you know what your getting. This is a cash only spot, and there is an ATM inside.

This cute little donut shop is a hidden gem. We got the lavender sky, purple ube, and matcha. They look aesthetically appetizing, glittering and stunning. Totally instagram worthy spot! I love how light flowery and pleasant the orchid petals taste on this. Come in ready with some cash because it?s a cash only shop (there?s an atm inside). They also have both savory and sweet treats for your quick nibble cravings.

I love this place. I drive all the way to Santa Monica to eat the low carb food here.But the other donuts that look so delicious are photos below

If you have late night munchies, this is a good place to go since it is open 24/7. Lots of donuts to and other food to choose from. I thought the donuts were a bit too sweet, so I couldn't finish what I bought.

A donut paradise!!! So much variety! Everything is fresh and delicious! I had onut ham, egg and cheese - to die for! The owner, Mama Lee, is absolutely the sweetest! Watch the Donut King documentary to learn more about this iconic place!

Great service, nice people and the bagels were terrific and their donuts were raved about at the office. Thank you!

Been wanting to come here since I saw this place on ads about 3 weeks ago, their ubi donuts taunting me ?????? so today on my daughter's 13th bday we're (well, me actually ????) finally got my chance to eat my ubi donuts ??????and ordered waaaaay too many donuts, from red velvet, to the simple glazed twist donuts ???? I'm happy ????

Lots of choices for the pastry lover in you! I liked the strawberry croissant donuts - fresh & yummy. It?s in a strip mall & the shop is tiny with ask the room taken up by the display cases ? but you?re in and out in a minute. I think there?s also a window you can order from outside, but I?ve never had to wait because I go in the afternoon. Maybe it?s busier in the morning?

Desserts are awesome donuts here the very delicious and a lot variety to choose from

A bit more costly than I'm used to but it's definitely worth it. I've never seen flavors of doughnuts like this before.

Best donuts in town. They have lots of varieties donut, donut holes, cronuts even croissant donut. Also lots of flavors from glazed to caramel salt. They also have sandwiches.

I love donuts and I know a thing or two about them. DK's, for the staple that it is should know better. Their donuts are way too sweet and what is the deal with that crumb donut only having crumbs on one side? I felt robbed! They no longer serve cronuts, in case you're wondering, and that red velvet Oreo donut is a pairing that simply makes no sense. I will give it to them, the coconut donut is delicious; soft, tasty, just pure perfection. Don't order a latte, stick to basics, trust me.

Great service, great donuts, love the variety. Will definitely be back for more.

I love that they have so many different kinds of donuts. A lot of Asian flavors. It was so fresh and delicious.

Amazing donuts, great coffee. Open as an early breakfast option.

Ok so my kid read a documentary about the Cambodian owner of all the original doughnut shops in LA. We went to this place - cash only by the way. I have had much better doughnuts. Skip this place and find an alternative.

Great donuts good coffee what else can you ask for. What till you see your options...

Not as good as the hype this place gets. The store is small and they don?t have that many donuts to pick from. The donuts didn?t look that good so I just choose the maple bacon one it was just average. Also got a cronut and the cream was not good.

It was an okay donut shop, donuts were average. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, they were stale and the flavors just weren't there. Either too sweet or lacking something. Presentation is good, they have stuff with flowers and cool designs, but they lack in the taste department. They are CASH ONLY

This place is absolutely amazing! The moment I step in, I am greeted with a warm smile and exceptional customer service. I can't get enough of this place and visit it at least five times a week. My go-to order is a delicious coffee with a shot of espresso, accompanied by either a mouthwatering donut or a tasty turkey sandwich. If you're a fan of specialty donuts, this place is a dream come true. They offer a wide variety of flavors that will satisfy any craving. The best part is that they are open 24/7, so

Best tasting bakery i?ve ever been to in my entire life. LOVE. This is a must, amazing hole in the wall bakery. Don?t be afraid to try it out.

They have so many different choices of donuts and other items. All the donuts look so amazing and delicious it was hard for me to choose a couple of donuts. People kept coming in getting donuts. one thing you need to know is that they only except cash. Make sure you have cash on you. They have great customer service I was very happy with my donut experience. I got the blue Rainbow donut and two unicorn donuts. Oh one more thing they are open 24/7 so if you need a donut fix they got you any time of the day.

Go to shop in the Santa Monica area for sweet treats. Open 24 hrs. Never disappoints and always fresh when I come in at odd hours of the night. CASH ONLY!

with the advent of an Asian woman))) the service has become even cooler !!!!! great selection of delicious food! everything looks fresh and delicious! always happy to come and order #21 my favorite))) well done keep it up ????????

Loved the original bacon and cinnamon something...I just ate them I don't remember. Overall, a huge selection and they are open 24 hours.
