Customer Reviews

I went to Moon Donuts last night and even though it was 9 ?o clock at night the donuts were soft and fresh. I picked out a dozen and a half and these were delicious. The assortment was overwhelming and it was difficult to choose, but they had my favorites. Fresh donuts abd hot coffee t might are a good thing. This place is in a mini strips mall with minimal parking. The lady was very friendly and helped me figure out a future visit for their special ?Birthday Donuts?. This is your standard donut shop, no sp

Good selection of donuts to pick from, but they are a little over price, but they are good. They also have fresh orange juice. The service is where they need to improve.

The best donuts in this area, I have been coming here since the 80's and it just keeps getting better

Blueberry cheesecake donut was really good, and not sickeningly sweet like so many fancy donuts are! Had real fresh blueberries, cheesecake topping was good, I would get that again. Lavender donut was good, but I didn't taste much lavender? Devil's Food donut was one of the worst donuts I've had, it was somehow flavorless, with very sweet icing and a burnt-bitter undertone. That one got tossed barely eaten. Also, the store is pretty inaccessible to anyone using a walker or even just on crutches.

Moon donuts is so great. The place is cute, not large. It is very clean and parking is easy and free. It is located in Redondo Beach which is a lovely area. We were going to have lunch after getting donuts to go, but their food looked so good we stayed there and ate inside--still taking our dozen home. The food is so much better than any donut shop I have been to. We decided to get several things and share. We had a bacon, omelet and cheese croissant and the croissant was perfect. It was light and fluffy a

The top tier donuts ?? are designed amazingly & taste just as amazing ?? ??

Loved the donuts and flavors offered. I tried the regular glazed donut first hands down the best so you know everything else will be great. But I do believe the traditional glaze was my favorite. The Nutella Cronuts were so good too! We didn?t have one don?t we didn?t like. My son loved the strawberry cheesecake. My husband liked the house special. Anything you have will be fantastic. Only thing I would make change is the chocolate glaze is too thin. But still tasty.

My favorite donuts. They are perfectly soft and fluffy and not too sweet. My favs are the pistachio and strawberry poke donuts.

Tons of unique flavors to choose from, all delicious! The coffee and Thai ice tea is also well balanced. Service is quick and friendly, and prices are low to the area also

This was a cute little place that had a great amount of donuts, the only thing I couldn?t understand was why they were priced so high. It was already around 12 o?clock and with the amount of donuts I saw I knew most of them we?re gonna be in the trash anyway.

It was my first time at Moon donuts and I will definitely be back again. I only put the atmosphere as 4 stars because there was no one in there at least while I was there with someone else I went with. It was sad in my opinion because it was one of the best tasting donut?s I ever had and I have had doughnuts from different places in the past. I tried one of the fancy donuts and the presentation was amazing.

BEST doughnuts in Redondo area hands down. You won?t find a tastier, fluffier glazed if that?s your jam. Their choice of decorated flavored doughnuts are really well made too. Consistently great for more then six years of coming here.

Stopped in after seeing all the great reviews and wasn't disappointed. The donuts are great, especially the cream cronut. Bought three and the owner threw in an extra one! Definitely recommend this place, might just stop by another time before leaving town.

This place has the best donuts I've had in a very long time. We tried the glazed donut holes, strawberry nutella cronut, and the blueberry cheesecake donut and we were blown away at the flavor and freshness. I will no longer crave Krispy Kreme nor the sham that is called Randy's Donuts ever again.

My daughter was so excited to try this places donuts. When she bit into it, she saw this big long hair in it. We didn't have time to go back because we went on vacation. We took a photo of the hairy donut and called to ask if we could get our money back ($6.00) for the donut. They wanted the physical donut or would do nothing. I explained that we didn't have the donut and just the picture. The lady started screaming and yelling at me, "saying no donut no refund and that she didn't care about me". I l

It's a small place, but don't let that fool you. This is by far my favorite donut place. I try all the fad places as they pop up, but moon Donuts is just amazing. A different menu of Donuts each time, with really fun and inventive flavors. A watermelon donut? Matcha? Cronuts? Mochi donuts? They do it all and let me tell you, they do it right. My favorite, however, are the breakfast sandwiches. Put together on house made croissants (or bagels if you prefer) with fresh made meats and eggs, it's hard to descri

Came to LAX on business and found this little gem in the Torrance/Redondo Beach area. Amazing staff but even better bakery delights! Came there every morning and you can see why the locals rave about this place. Their creativity for their Donuts were unmatched not to mention their selection of breakfast sandwiches! Safe to say all my clients appreciated their pillowesque Donuts and I appreciated their amazing service and skill. Definitely will be back! Thanks again Moon Donuts team!

Looking through the glass and seeing them all nicely stacked dark brown caramelized edges was like in the movie Jerry Maguire ?you had me at hello.? This reviews is for the Apple fritter only but after looking at all the displayed Donuts they had at just after five am, I?d make the trip I?m sure they have u covered. Price $2.25. For the area not bad 4stars Size - above average but not a true gut bomb that will keep you full till late lunch. 4.5 stars Prepared- absolute perfect 5 stars. A perfectly cooked

Donuts are fine, hard to screw up a donut. However, they charge a blanket 50 cents to use a credit card. My donut order was 9$ and they add 50 cents for a credit card!

Really enjoyed these donuts! Would come back again. Unique flavor and the dough was light and airy. Got the Taro, cinnamon cronut, strawberry cheesecake, ube crumb, chocolate pocky, and Thai tea donuts. Each ranked below. Taro- 3/5 good but the flavor was a bit muted. Cinnamon Cronut- 2/5 cinnamon sugar flavor was great but I don?t think this one was as fresh as the others Strawberry cheesecake- 4.5/5 delicious flavor and love the cream on top Ube crumb- 5/5 a must try! Flavor was excellent and loved the cr

Good customer service! Loved the donuts here! We are from Arizona and the experience here was phenomenal,we will most definitely be coming back!

Lots of options and reasonably priced. A little bummed the long john donuts didn't have filling, but the boston cream was sooo good!

The BEST Donuts EVER!!! All the donuts are delish, always very fresh, their special donuts are over the top!!! Very Yummy!

A family owned donut spot with all the regular go to donuts and then some yummy types I haven?t had before like their almond matcha donut. They also have cute ones for kids and also sell delicious oj on the side. They have a small shared parking lot and they do take cards. Very good donuts and will definitely be back!

Decent quality donuts $20/dozen (and that means only 12 here unlike every other bakery that I?ve ever been to!).

Great donuts, I always get the glazed cronuts when available. The chocolate & maple bars are always the best.

They never miss here. Ask for any donuts that are fresh and yes they have fresh donuts most nights and it?s the BEST. Only place I know other than Krispy Kreme that makes fresh ones at night. Apple fritter is 10/10. Our top donut spot and we will continue to be back!!

The Vietnamese iced coffee is a "go to" for me... 5 bucks flat, can't go wrong with that. Solid variety of donuts too plus they got sandwiches\croissants and such. (Side note: doesn't hurt that it's right next to a smoke shop)

They are fancy now compared to when I was a kid great selection of donuts !

Thanks to my daughter, I have been introduced to this amazing place that serves donuts that meet my sweet tooth?s high standards. The matcha/almond donut is hands down my top choice. Surprisingly, I find myself favoring it over the well-known competitor nearby. I frequent this spot often since it's conveniently located, and ever since my discovery, I have made numerous trips to pick up treats for my family and indulge in a little self-care.

Beautiful and not overly sugary donuts. More nuanced flavors here. Nice lady assisting. This place is dangerous to your taste buds and waistline. Delicious and creative. Yum.

Everything we tried was absolutely incredible and I loved that it's local! Their cake donuts were out of this world

Couldnt decide so i got 3, a cronut, glazed and cinnamon roll. The cronut was pretty dry but might be because it was end of day. The glazed was really nice and soft but felt like a lot after eating the entire thing. And the cinnamon roll was really nice but pretty basic. I liked it but i still prefer sidecar.

Got a sack via TGTG, plenty of donuts inside

Ok, I am not a doughnut person anymore because my childhood doughnut place was amazing and most others don't come even close until I found this place! Everything I have tried is amazing! They are fast, fully stocked and fresh. Definitely going back there for more.

I paid $18 for six donuts $3 of donut for some regular donuts not even the artisan absolutely ridiculous

This review is to express my disappointment with my recent purchase of Cronuts from Moon Donuts. Although I purchased the items in the afternoon, I had expected a fresh and high-quality product given the premium pricing of $4.50 each! Unfortunately, the bread tasted like old, crusty toast and was extremely hard and chewy to the point where it was clearly stale.??I shared the cronuts with friends and everyone present had the same opinion. I called the same day to express my concern, I was told that the produ

I bought a box of donuts most of the donuts were pretty good. However the apple fritter was very much over cooked in fact the edges were burnt. I did not notice it until my husband pointed it out to me when I got home.

When a shop closer to me failed miserably, I contacted Moon Donuts with just 36hrs notice for 3 dozen specialty donuts for my daughter's 'Baby Sprinkle' . They came through! Not only were they gorgeous, all our guests said how delicious they were. Thanks Moon Donuts!! Super grateful!

One dollar delicious classic donuts, nothing fancy, friendly service, good parking.

Thank you!!! Was picking up my dinner from chicken maison, seen you was still open. Had to pop in grab some!! And delicious they are. And 6 bucks!!!! Fantastic!

Even early in the morning they have a lot of variety and they are great. I only put 4 stars because of the extra charge on the credit card under 10$

best donuts in LA! there?s so much variety & really cute designs, & surprisingly cheap too! i only wish the place was more updated/sparkling clean. raise your prices & remodel!

Great donuts and really kind staff! My coworkers love when I bring them

The Donuts here are excellent, they offer a lot of different options and all ot the ones I tried were great. Highly recommend to try it out.

If you're a fan of sweet treats, then you're in for a treat with Moon Donuts in Redondo Beach! This little gem of a bakery serves up delicious, fresh donuts every day. My personal favorite is the Apple Fritter - it's a huge, fluffy delight with the perfect amount of sweetness and crunch. The folks at Moon Donuts definitely know their way around a fryer, and it shows in every bite. So if you're in the mood for something delicious and comforting, swing by Moon Donuts and treat yourself to a yummy donut (or tw

Badly organized. Might be ok if you are choosing 1 thing for yourself and don't mind waiting. Terrible if you are picking up a pre order. I've picked up here for multiple sports leagues and a kids party. All order in advance and most often weekly repeat orders. Almost every time the order is not ready and the staff don't seem to know anything about it. Impossible to communicate.

Small quiet and delicious. Home made, small batch pastries. A gem hidden in Southbay...

Moon Donuts has an awesome variety of fun donuts to choose from. We brought some of ours with us all the way across state lines. Great taste and a fair price point!

Good quality but generally overly sweet/too sugary in my opinion. Stick the the basic donuts. That are the ones that shine a little brighter!

By far the best Boston cream doughnuts around. Great tasting dough, great texture, amazing cream, but best of all, they clearly put in the effort to fill those things fat and proper. Just recently discovered it due to a friend graciously picking some up for me, so I'm excited to try what else they have but have no doubt that their other stuff is great too.

Donuts didn?t seem to have much flavor - but we went at the end of the day so maybe it was just that. We were excited to try but disappointed for the price. Randy?s donuts is not far away and it better and cheaper in my opinion.

Love this place. Great donuts and service.

My daughter loves it here, and donuts are delicious, but has to be to go. The place is a bit small, pick up only. Everything is good, we just need somewhere to eat the donuts ??

Really good fresh donuts and pastries. It seems like a popular spot for locals. The owners were very friendly.

I didn?t know you could do that to a donut ?? chocolate glazed on top, sugar glazed on bottom + Oreo crumble; it?s not in the photo because it disappeared so fast - best shop, best donuts ??

We decided to try Moon Donuts because it had the best reviews and closest in our proximity and we're so glad we found this gem. The donuts were delicious! I had a maple donut and boyfriend tried the glazed raspberry filled donut. He couldn't stop raving about this choice. The girls behind the counter are very friendly and their donuts are delicious. Highly recommended. Will return!

I gave this place 5 stars before, but I'm going to edit this review for two reasons. First, I tried a different donut, other than my favorite (the glazed blueberry cake--the best donut you'll ever have) and it was atrocious. Worst donut ever. It was an unglazed old fashioned, but it was soft and spongy and tasted like it was three days old. So for that I will deduct two star. The next reason is it seems the ladies have been giving me worse service as I go in there. They don't say hello when I come in anymor

Be careful what you pay!! Tooo expensive almost $4 a donut!!

Not sure about the donuts, but their boba drinks were tasty! I had the Taro smoothie and my daughter had the Thai iced tea. Both were delicious. The donuts did look pretty good! The donut selection was very diverse, included bacon toppings, Oreo toppings, and of course the standard fare - glazed, cream filled, chocolate, etc.

This place is amazing. Not only are they the best donuts in South Bay, hands down, but the people that run it are awesome too. So often, I will find a couple extra donut holes put into the bag with my order. Today, my wife and I were counting ash tray pennies to see if we had enough for a spur of the moment donut for her, but realized after walking in that we were roughly 30 cents short. The woman behind the counter told us not to worry about it. To top it off, she asked me what my favorite donut was. We r

I?m a big donut guy and I gotta say these are one of the best donuts ever! Very light donut no grease through the box super clean #1 ????????

They are very friendly, fast, and good value. Great doughnuts.

Love the variety and creativity. I love my classics abut also loved trying all the creative flavors and recipes. My kids love coming here regularly.

By far the best donuts in the area. We've been coming there for years and it's always a pleasant experience. The staff are extremely helpful and patient when deciding on what delicious treat you want to enjoy. I recommend beating the lines and coming early in the morning.

The blueberry cheesecake donut is delicious. I wasn't a big fan of the cronut type donuts, the apple cinnamon flavor one has a great flavor, but the cronut base was a bit stale.

I ordered a glaze donut and an Oreo cream donut. Both were good, but the Oreo was outstanding! They also sell fresh squeezed orange juice, but for $5.60 a cup, I'll squeeze my own. ??

Great variety of donut options specially on weekends!! kids and all loves donuts here !!

I let my kids go get a dozen donuts and ended up costing $17 so I'm gonna have to give this place 2 stars now we just got ripped off

Overpriced for a regular quality donuts. There are much better ones for the same price. Also, they charge an extra fee if you pay with credit card.

I live about 550 miles north of moon Donuts. My son lives in Redondo Beach. There is just never a time I don't stop in and see this wonderful family and have their fantastic product. What a bunch of nice people and what a really good donut they make

These are some good donuts. Light and really big! Not to mention the employees there are extremely nice. I was just visiting town but I will go back next time I am there. Awesome donuts and fantastic staff! That's a 5 star for me.

Great apple fritter, but the big surprise and recommendation to anyone else reading this is the red velvet donut. Super rich chocolate flavor and the frosting is just the right amount of sweetness.

Do NOT get their ?Vietnamese iced coffee?. Does not taste at all like it should, it didn?t have condensed milk and they added artificial syrup for no reason. Overly sweet and over priced. $6 for the worst cup of coffee. Croissants were good.

Little donut place come with great variety!

Omg the donuts at this place are so amazing, freshly made everyday and so wonderful. Got them for a good friend who loves donut and she was in love as well. Definitely will be back at this place and recommend this to people.

Not worth $50. Sign say $20 for dozen

Super fast and friendly, but the best part is that the dose of donuts are unbelievable. Fresh, soft, moist, tremendous variety. and, they do every variety perfectly. Not too much filling in the filled ones. Not too little glaze on the glazed ones.

Moon donuts has incredibly indulgent donuts. A nice crisp exterior and fluffy interior. Honestly the best you can get for such a cheap price! They?ll always be my favorite treat in the South Bay.

Donuts were great I just hated the fact she made us wait until she was done with whatever she was doing.

Probably the cleanest variety of donuts with style and creativity on them. I live in Long Beach and I would definitely drive all the way from there to this donut shop just for a Donut.

We have been going to this donut shop for 25 years. Moon used to help (and I'm sur still does) the local elementary schools. My son liked their donuts, but eventually became part of the Starbucks group. During finals at law school he discovered that he could take a break, go to Moon, sit at the counter and get an amazing cake donut and good cup of coffee for $2. He brought another law student that fell in love with the chocolate bar. Today, we're going to try the blueberry donuts. What a wonderful communit

Fly me to Moon donuts, let me eat those chocolate bars- To find a better donut go to Jupiter or Mars- In other words, Take my cash- In other words, Darling feed me? Fill my bell with cream And let me sing forever more These are the best in town, You?ll soon worship and adore In other words CRONUTS TOOOOOOO IN OTHER WORDS I LOVE YOOOOOUUUU

All of the donuts were beautifully decorated and looking absolutely yummy!! Perfect treat for your get up and go breakfast.

Solid donut shop. They remodeled. Half the selection are now those Instagram donuts. This was the donut stop before fishing at Redondo as a kid. Still good for them fat pills ??

I don't usually leave reviews but I absolutely love these donuts. They remind me of my favorite donut shop back home in Missouri. I have tried multiple donut shops and hadn't found one I liked until I came across this one.

Love the art they make with the donuts! ?? yummy.
