Customer Reviews

The workers here is super super friendly. They are very, very, very fast and efficient. they also have a really delicious carrot cake

The food is good but DON?T ORDER ON DOOR DASH. Over the last few months I?ve ordered from them on door dash about 5 times, continuing to do so under the assumption that they can?t keep making mistakes, and whether it?s cheese when I want no cheese or turkey when I asked for bacon, at this point 3/5 orders have been incorrect with me having to drive to the store to get the correct version 2/5 times. Those two times when I had asked for no cheese due to lactose intolerance and still received cheese. Not bad

Passed by the shop and grabbed a glazed donut. Good portion size and yummy.

Good service and good tasting donuts. They are also a good value. I would go back. Cash only business, they have an ATM inside. Area surrounding shop is sketchy. There will be homeless around the area. Parking lot is small so you can also park on the street behind the shop "Del Rey Ave."

It?s a very simple and cheap place, there are lots of delicious donuts. I had a great breakfast here. I recommend it!

a lazy Sunday tradition + my favorite jelly donut around. Plus, it?s not a $5+ dollar donut like most other fancy shops around.

Parking is a bit difficult because the parking lot is small and found on a strip mall at an extremely busy intersection. The donuts themselves were very delicious and there was a selection of all the classics. There was also a limited selection of different stuffed croissant. Would recommend it if in the area.

I usually go to this place early in the morning, today I went at night at 11:30 pm to get some donuts and coffee, the coffee and donuts tasted old, not fresh, they just lost a customer!!!

I love the variety of donuts and pastries, oh yeah the delicious smoothies.......always a late night sweettooth craving filler open 24 hours....The real Wendy's

Best local donuts ever! And nice and friendly staff

Seriously some of the best donuts I?ve had. Highly recommend their apple fritter!

Ham n cheese croissant, Heated up, $4. your loss if you don't come!!!!!!

In town from the East Coast. Possibly the best glazed donuts I?ve ever had.

Wow, just excellent! Didn't feel unsafe as the strip mall has also hired a security guard which helps. They also have the option to pay by credit card >3 USD

I love this donut shop! Very flavorful donuts and nice staff. Great coffee too!!

Read the reviews before going the donuts in the sandwiches breakfast or actually really good

Best yeast donut I've ever had

Wide choice of tasty donuts in great prices. Worth checking out.

Honestly a great local donut shop. Everything is always delicious and fresh and the people are very nice!

Always love this place when I'm in Venice.. I've known the owner for many years and last night she finally expressed to me that it had been a long time since I came in there. Donuts have raise their prices.

Best sandwiches I've had in a long time. Smoothie was almost as good as mine. This place was clean also. They actually take pride in what they do. So nice we will be back every chance we get.

Literally the best donuts in the MDR/Venice area. A very wide selection, super fresh and fluffy and decadent, and a very friendly staff as well. They also have sandwiches and bagels which i also absolutely love! I'm so glad they've been able to stay open during the pandemic and continue to make my morning do my donut run worth it every time!! :)

Great quality donuts the building is magical the people are graceful and sincere they work hard and are very kind call out to them at the front desk if no one is there, God bless. Been going here since high-school lov the sandwichs better than McDonald's.

I rarely leave feedback but when I do is because a place really has stand out for me. This place has the best donuts in LA so far. The dough is just a bit salty with that awesome fry taste and then the sweet topping adds that perfect combination.

Nice little shop with great selection of donuts and similar items, only had the classic glazed but surprised me for its quality, would eat again Lady at counter was very nice. Lots of homeless people around though.

No photos of coffees or donuts but this is one of those local places that is just superb. Consistent, reliable, friendly, and as mom and pop as you can get. You have your bagels, muffins, cupcakes, donut holes, croissants, donuts, coffee, tea... All made on premise. They're open 24 hours and is as no frills as it can get. Service with a smile.

Good prices and good selection.

I've had donuts from every corner of the USA, and these might be the best. Bravo on the Boston Kreme donut, from a native Boston area donut lover. Took it to a new level.

This place is delicious! The croissant sandwich I had was the best i've ever had. Also, the donut was very good.

LA's very own micro chain. Parking is a pain in the neck (park on Del Rey!) but the donuts are worth circling around once. Coffee is better than average for the category, but the donuts... Really, really solid. Staff are usually great, and consistent across other locations.

Everything is good here the only problem that there is a lot of homeless people outside, on the flip side these homeless people are not rude thay are harmless I, think.

Coffee ?? is so so donuts are also so so is all I can say

donuts are a big deal in LA, and wendy's is my local, so i have to give them some props! the parking can be tricky, but the donuts are consistently good, even when you decide you want some at 3am, as the location is open 24/7!

Some of the best donuts I've ever had, but from the street this place looks like The Walking Dead!

Best classic donuts on the westside. Period. Best buttermilk donut I prob ever had.

Best cake donuts ever!! I'm not a big glazed donut person but I love cake donuts. These are light and the frosting is creamy delicious. Cash only, hence the ATM inside.

I'm from Italy, I visit the states very often and I love donuts. Here they have the best donuts I have tried. Absolutely delicious. Thank you guys ??

Service was not pleasant, cashier (Latina) lady has the biggest worst attitude you can receive in the morning

Best donuts we had in LA on a dedicated R&D bakery trip. Upsettingly delicious and grossly underpriced. Would come back to LA just for a big box of Wendy?s.

Looking for a small business to support, look no further. Good service , fresh donuts, and very affordable. I wish I tried this place sooner. My new go to. ??

Friendly service every time, the store has a cozy atmosphere and it's my favorite place to get a ham and cheese croissant with tea. Their boba is also very delicious

Love this donut shop and the man who makes them all night. They are the best donuts around.

I?ve been coming to the donut shop for a short period of time but I refuse to go anywhere else now doesn?t matter the time of day you?re gonna get fresh donuts fresh croissants fresh sandwiches the employees are super friendly I love this donut shop overall

Open 24 hours so I can get my sugar fix at whatever time needed. Quality products and friendly staff! Go get some.

Bought ham n cheese croissant and the lady didn't even bother to warm it up. Donuts were ok, nothing out of the ordinary!

Amongst the rampant commercialization and abundance of chain restaurants in MdR, Wendy's is a delightful hole-in-the-wall serving up top-notch donuts in classic pink boxes.

Fresh all the time, friendly service, prices are decent. Parking is always congested, the transient element is off the chain.

This was my 1st time and it was very clean and the employee was very helpful. The donuts were good and fresh. Will be going back. ????

Great doughnuts, but the area is sketchy as hell at night.

Although the area is not that great , this little shop is cranking out some good yummy doughnuts ?? very popular

Excellent donuts!! I mean really good! Picked up 5 different types and all wonderful. Employees very good!

Long live the small family run donut shop! Wendy's has the classics done right, with a good selection of tasty breakfast sandwiches too.

Their name has changed. I tried their glazed donut and it was simple and amazing. Haven't had anything like that for a while. Cash for under $5.

Excellent deli sandwiches! Made with love and care. Very nice staff!

These donuts are the best donuts I?ve ever tasted! $1 for my favorite cake donuts and always fresh and cooked to perfection.

They have good quality donuts and bake goods. Employees are very nice. Gotta try them out.

I'm 40 years old and today I had the best donut of my life here. Just delicious! I'll go back tomorrow for more.

Good doughnuts. Fairly priced. Will definitely come back to try their beverages and sandwiches

Donuts here are excellent. I recommend Togo only though as there are normally homeless crackheads chilling inside scratching lottery tickets.

On a trip to L.A. I ate breakfast here everyday. Highly recommended!

Great donuts, super friendly staff, reasonable prices. We love the place.

Fantastic chocolate buttermilk bars. Go at 3 am, because then the donuts r still warm and gooey. Yummy, yummy, YUMMY!!!

One star for cleanliness and the transients always outside. Plus the damn smell of urine always outside. So I have to say WHEN SOMEONE ASK IF I EVER HAD A DONUT....NO WAY NO HOW

Nice and affordable options. The cronut knocked it down one star. The cronut isnt worth it but the other selections are great.

What fabulous donut shop woth great food at great prices...come on down for some donuts & sandwiches

Tried them on my way out of l.a to San diego they were so good on my way back home I had to stop in and grab more!

Love it,I'm a regular there. They get to really get to know you and when they see my car pull in they already start making my order!

Stopped in for donuts. Grabbed a couple of breakfast sandwiches. They were delicious. Will definitely go here again.

Dobuts are delicious! The drinks are so good better than any other place. Great friendly staff.

Exelent service the croissants are the best, a little concern that one of the employees that not wear the mask properly especially at this difficult time.

Wendy's is really amazing, Unfortunately there are a lot of homeless in front of the place all the time.

I wasn't happy with the donuts. They seem too dry/old for my taste. Bought 12 in early morning.

Try the cronuts they the best tasting donut ive tasted since my family came to california. in 1959

The donuts taste great and are extremely affordable. 95? for 1 or $10 for a dozen.

Great. Very happy with prices, variety and staff xust

Most delicious donuts for a yummy price too! Thanks, Wendy?s.

Hard rock don't shop. Love they open 24hours and be making donuts in the night! ??

Love this place i go everyday for coffee and croissants. Excellent service!

Delicious donuts and friendly staff! Can?t beat the prices either!

Good customer service. Ham and cheese croissant delicious.

Donuts always taste fresh and delicious. Place is always clean as well.

Pick yourself up some light, airy pink box donuts. You'll thank me later.

It's a place I grew up with and I love their bagels

good donuts. buy some for the family and buy some for the people who are just hanging around there. It's good to share.

Food and Staff are great.

Quick and Simple. They got a menu on the side and if you feeling lucky this the place to play.

Great family owned shop. Friendly service and scrumptious treats

Always plenty'o'good Joe. Donuts better than the chained Duncan's up the street.
