Customer Reviews

We decided to stop here because every time we drove by I would comment how great the display looked from the road. Turns out, it was an excellent choice. If you want a no frills place delivering excellent standards, this is the place to go. Got a chocolate glazed old-fashioned, honey dipped chocolate, cinnamon crumble, apple fritter & devil's foodcake. Honestly, some of the best doughnuts I've had. Really enjoyed the honey dipped. The apple fritter was the perfect texture. All the doughnuts were the correc

Oh Lord! So they have these little magical pillows of pure love and joy called mini Bavarian holes and even the next few days sitting in my car it is still lovely and pillowy and delicious and next to those beautiful angels they have the balls filled with jam, strawberry or raspberry don't know but I buy 6 of each and everything is alright again in my world and I grab a large coffee from the nice lady who doesn't like to smile but I don't care bcuz I've got my balls!!! Thank you. And I still have the lotte

After having a BBQ, a few of us wanted dessert and walked over to Luckys Donuts. We got a half dozen donuts and, of course, an amazing apple fritter. Nice little spot close to the airport and even got to see an A380 take-off from LAX.

The selection of donuts is good, I don't typically get those, though, unless it was something different. I got the Jalape?o, Ham, and Cheese crossiant, and it was really good. This place looks like a little hole in the wall shop, and it is little, but the quality is good. If you're in the area, it's a good stop if you like donuts and want to support a local business.

Best donuts around! Way better than R___'s! Got mine early... about 4:30 am, and they were soft, sweet, but not over-sweet, just-right sweet. Ordered the blueberry and was full of filling. Lucky's is real close to the airport. Best time for donuts is early morning ??

Moved out of el Segundo a year ago and I think about Lucky?s donuts all the time. Nothing in my new city compares. :( always fresh and well stocked! I ?? Lucky?s D

the donuts is good but the asian lady she looks mad at me

Service is absolutely great. Everyone must try the tiger tail. I've also tried the donut holes need to be fried a little longer. Great coffee and always clean inside and outside.

Not sure if it?s just bad customer service or trying to sell more donuts. Been a customer for about 2 years, the employee behind the counter got my order wrong since they installed plexi glass and she can?t hear, which is fine. I go to pay the $4.50 for the rest of my order and the employee said she can?t take card unless I spend more money to meet their minimum credit card allowable. If the employee got my order correct in the first place I wouldn?t need to run my card again. I don?t mind the mistake, or w

One of the best hot of joe's i've had at a donut shop. Super clean store. Friendly staff. Good donuts!!

Outstanding customer service and really fresh and good donuts! They filled my order at short notice and I picked up my order at 3am!!! Great service!

Lucky's in my opinion is the Best donut shop in LA! Open late! Even after Midnight. Donuts are always fresh shop is my favorite place to go for iced lemon filled and strawberry jelly donuts. 5-stars I high ly recommend Lucky's.??

The donuts always taste fresh. I rather buy from here than at a corporate donut shop.

Perfect for night time munchies ^-^ their donuts & capuccinos are delicious??

When working at LAX Lucky donuts is a must!! I prefer it over Randy's. Customer service is always great. Very pretty and friendly

Always fresh! Always open! You?d expect a 24 hour donut place to have stale donuts at some point in the day but I?ve been here at all hours and have never encountered a stale donut. Even during this pandemic! Every flavor I?ve tried so far has been outstanding and the service is always quick and polite. No matter what type of donut you?re craving (raised, cake, jelly, buttermilk, fritter, old fashioned) they do all of them and they do them better than any other places around here. They accept credit card bu

I was so disappointed by these donuts. My wife had a late night craving for some donuts. We headed over to the donut shop that's name starts with the letter R but there was a line into the street for both foot traffic and the drive thru. Instead, we searched for another 24 hour donut place and came across Lucky's. The apple fritter didn't have any apple in it and the outside wasn't crispy and the inside wasn't gooey. We also bought a blueberry jelly filled and I kid you not. It had maybe a couple of tablesp

Best donuts, in the area! Open 24 hours! If you go between 3 am and sun up its most likely fresh, and still warm ! ??Way, way better than Rangy's, no line to wait in either!!!! Go Now!!l!

I'm sorry but I bought 1 ham and cheese and 3 donuts plus some donut holes and everything except one donut was stail and tough to chew. They don't have enough cheese to dough ratio and so it feels like your chewing on hard bread. The ham and cheese would have been better had it had just a bit more cheese. To be honest places like this make me feel like they use little product as possible on purpose to save money. Won't be returning.

The bismark is delicious! The staff is nice. However, the primary counter person always gives me side eye when I use my credit card. It's 2019, sweet cheeks, suck it up....people are using cash less and less.

This has the Best Buttermilk. The staff is super friendly. They also have flavored creamer vanilla and hazelnut that's always a plus in my book.I'll be coming back to this place multiple times within the next month I'm working down that way

I used to recommend this shop. But unfortunately I stopped by today and found the quality has gone down. Plus they no longer make my favorite donut, the toasted coconut. Oh well, nothing stays the same. I judge them to be mediocre.

Best Donuts ?? Ever Hands Down....

I looooooove this donut shop so much! My boyfriend and I come here every time I visit! The donuts are consistently delicious and everyone is always so very sweet and kind here??????

It was a great experience small donut shop but it looked like it had its usual regulars that enjoys their customer service. The variety wasn't that much but they had unique selections like sprinkle covered donut holes

If you are feelin lucky, then go ahead and spend your hard earned money here. But Seriously, DON'T!! Lousy donuts, tasted like Winchell's (NASTY). When I walked in the place no one was in it. Staff was rude as hell and seemed as though I was wasting his time. I will never step foot in this place again and will encourage anyone I know to go someplace else.

Excellent service, greetings as soon as I walked in.

Very great place to come and have a donut. Owner of the shop is very sweet and friendly. He's always trying to make me laugh. Probably has the freshest doughnuts in El segundo.

I had the blueberry cake donut from here and it was excellent. Better than the donut chains. Small business, cheap, good service. Check em out.

The owner makes all the donuts every morning morning. There are the best you can get

DIRTY PLACE. I seen the lady that works there touching money then the donuts without washing her hands. Please stay away to avoid getting sick.

Good donuts, but watch your change. I've been shorted more than once. Chalk it up to the morning rush.

Donut holes get them but the dozens great for donuts in the morning or evening

Amazing donuts and atmosphere. Try the peanut butter and jelly donuts!

If I could give this place a zero I would ! Stale donuts, fly covered donuts, and poooooooor customer service ! The Asian lady is rude and when asked to warm a donut was very disrespectful and stated you don?t WARM DONUTS ! She threw my change at me and gave additional attitude when I asked what her problem was !

Another one of those places I have to visit when in LA. Apple fritter still good and available all day long.

Open 24 hours. Great place to go after hours as everything gets made by hand then and is available for purchase.

Best place for ham & cheese. BEST. Staff is super friendly, truly recommend this gem!!

Friendly staff! Donuts were nice and fresh...

Extremely poor service, no smiles, old donuts. They hate life up in there...

Donuts are very good. The ham & cheese croissants are good as well

Love they always have the large Arizona peach tea.

Very rude staff,won't be coming back! Worst donut place I've ever visited!

Best donuts near LAX in my opinion.

Best donuts in El Segundo!! Not greasy, just good

They charge a few for when you use a credit card. It?s against the law in the state of California. And the service was horrible.

It?s a small donut shop but my favorite are the donut holes!!
