We will call this the other big Donut. Kindles has been here as long as I can remember but this was my first time stopping to grab a quick sugar rush. The donut was good atmosphere not so much.
Thought it was Randy's, but Asian couple were baking even at night. They were fresh still warm. Oh soo soft and sweet . I recommend. Will be back! Sorry had one last donut when I remembered to take the picture. Too good to wait.
Even though they changed the name, the place is still amazing! The super Texas size donut whatever you call it LOL still tastes amazing! The donut holes are still delicious. That is mainly what I go for is the Big Texas and the donut holes. A definite must for anyone who loves a big donut ??. Imagine 4-5 glazed donuts put into one big circle ??
Donuts was fresh little on the rude side but hey I'm not tht nice tht early 6am
Great donuts, good service - coffees could be a bit bigger, but it's an iconic LA spot
Good donuts made better by getting to stand under the iconic giant donut. Also close to the Watts Towers which everyone should see.
I grew up in the area, and I still come back for freshly made donuts. I've been coming here since the 80s. If you like old-fashioned glaze and maple bars, then this is your spot!
This is my favorite donut shop! ?? Fresh donuts, bear claws, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls & more. Lots on display right at the window. There's a drive up & a walk up window. Just so you know... this shop is a cash only shop though. That's a good thing to know before you get there.
(THE MRS. NOT GONNA LIKE ME REVIEWING THIS PLACE but what the hell) To be honest I have never had a donut or anything alse from this place (No Vegan Options) But the Mrs. Goes at least twice a week and the entire family seems to love them so I'm sure they deserve a 4 or 5? but I asked them about vegan options and she wasn't even tryna hear it. Word to the wise, You see what happend when all large retailers refused to recognize change and sell on Amazon, they were left behind and eventually went out of bu
Never judge a book by its cover. I used to pass this place all the time and thought I would never eat there. Have you seen the giant donut on top? Eek. But don't be shallow, like me. Their donuts are surprisingly REALLY good and most importantly the place is CLEAN! No ridiculous long line. Service is friendly. Donuts are cheap AND delicious! I was surprised really surprised. Their donuts are light and fluffy not thick and cake like. Different from Randy's but just as good and definitely worth the treat, for
Stale. Ordered a buttermilk bar. So stale that I couldn?t even break the bread easily w my hands. Never again.
Not much to look at but the donuts are good and fresh. Stopped by at 9pm and they still had a good selection of donuts. Bear claw and apple fritters were excellent.
WHEN I WAS A STUDENT/RESIDENT AT THE ANNE DOUGLAS CENTER FOR WOMEN (AT THE L. A. MISSION) ONE SUNDAY A MONTH ON OUR WAY TO AN AFFILIATED CHURCH WE WOULD HAVE A NICE PASTRY BREAKFAST. IT'S A TRADITION .
If you had it before and weren't satisfied you need to try it again now. Any issue I might have had with the donuts here before have been cured. Best in class.
honestly, the best donuts I?ve had in LA. the jelly was perfect, the cinnamon roll was excellent and so were both the choc and maple bars. it sucks i?m moving out of the area
Server gave me a coffee and I pushed the top down on it and it cause the bottom of the cup to bust open. No big deal right? Wrong. I asked for another coffee and the server told me it was not her mistake smh. She even tried to charge me for another coffee when I wasn't going to drink the one that spilled. Horrible service just go to Randy's.
Anthony Bourdain dropped in whilst filming his show - Cook?s Tour had several donuts including the Texas Size.
This Donut shop has been here since the '60s. The donuts bring fond childhood memories and continue to make new memories. Variety of donuts to choose from and reasonably priced.
I was not getting anything. But meeting a girlfriend who was buying Avon from me. I'm a ?? lover, but mostly I get mine from Winchell's Donut. Catch them early in the morning when they r just making them, and u will make yourself sick. Glazed donuts is my favorite.
This is my go to donut place since the early 80s. I grew up literally around the corner from this place and the best donut holes in the world come from here. Check this place out!
Been going here for years! My favorite Donut Shop! ?? ?? Yummy
A childhood favorite spot to get some donuts. The family are always friendly and Sometimes they add extras. Keep supporting this place. Inexpensive.
Fresh, delicious, tastee Donuts with more can you want
Donuts are delicious and the owner really kind, been in the neighborhood for years and I stopped by and was happy for the experience my Sister and I shared.
The way donuts were ment to be. The product is light and fluffy and makes you want to throw caution to the wind as you dive face first into a box of a dozen or so
Great taste of American traditional flavours
Been going to this since I was a kid. The Donuts are the best in town!!! The service isn't the greatest, but their donuts are light years better than Randys.
The donuts are good, but there is always someone hanging around the window asking for money.
Superb donut!!! I enjoyed it. Unexpectedly caught me off guard. Never EVVERRRRR going to Krispy Kreme?s again. Never. I?m a LOYAL fan of Kindle ??????
Great and some unique choices . Server was rude but then again working the drive through window Im sure is not the dream job
As good, if not better(and a bit cheaper) than the more famous Randy's. If you're willing to drive off the beaten track, support this gem.
SOME OF THE BEST DONUTS IN TOWN. I TAKE MY SISTER AND NEPHEWS HERE WHEN THEY COME VISIT. THEY LOVE THE BIG TEXAS DONUT.
Donuts are pretty fresh, drive thru line usually fast. Very little parking and one or two panhandlers hang out.
I bought a donut and it was doey (not fully cook) And she had a bad attitude. Never again. ??

The donuts are always delicious & fresh but be different sizes on different days.
Never went here, saw it in a tupac music video. Good song.
Have some good donuts for good enough prices. I highly recommend
It doesn't taste the same anymore. I'm about 3 minutes away from Randy's, but I would drive to Kindle's for donuts. Oh well.
Great tasting donuts. The chocolate glazed is Delicious
They do sell the large donuts I was looking for but I didn't get a very fresh one at that time.
