We have visited this place millions of times and the donuts here are truly the best. We tried donuts all over the country, and they are never even in comparison to Best Donuts. The employees are friendly and the produce is always delicious and fresh. Their breakfast sandwiches are fantastic as well. Always a pleasant experience.
Once lived on the donuts from here. Recently revisited this fried pastry palace and again enjoyed, even with new operators. Four visits for office treats and their praises were running high. Fifth visit came after a period in which the business closed. When re-opened (within 12 to 36 hours), I again stopped for treats. The stench was horrid and I feared contamination. The odor was from spray to ward off bugs. This odor was prevalent for multiple days and surely affected my delight with donut quality. Use your sense of smell if its not the glaze or scent of a bakery, travel on!
I am local to this shop. And unfortunately meet the same disappointing service here each time. Any east fix. Always greet, take orders and say good bye to the customer cheerfully, as best you can. The counter people look at me blankly and unhappily every time I’m here. This is Cali! It can be easy to be lite here. Keep it light engaged and friendly. Enjoy!
Good food but be careful the breakfast sandwich is scorching hot! I burned my mouth eating it! I was not warned...I was Left with a sore in my mouth from how hot it was, it was tasty but they should be careful when serving to eat right away at dining area. The donuts are good tho just please be more aware with your customers.
Good Donuts, Thai Tea, & breakfast sandwiches. Reasonable prices. No frills, get down to business style makes for a tasty product and efficient service. Thumbs up!!!
Best iced crueler I’ve ever had! Melts in your mouth! I wish I lived closer to this place!
My go-to place in the South Bay. Some wonderful treats here. The sweets are good, the savory treats are good, everything is good. Wonderful staff and good prices too.
I moved to Hermosa Beach thirty three years ago. I was in heaven when I found Best Donuts. Kim and Henry (the previous owners) really cared about their customers and the quality of their food. I miss them.When the new owners took over at first the were friendly and the food flavor maintained the great flavor.Fast forward to the last few months.. Im never going back and below are my reasons.1) We adore Sofia (the M-F girl) she is super sweet and always greets us with a big smile.2) The baker/s Monday - Thursday are not consistent. The flavor is dry, little to no icing on the glazed.3) The other girls (owners) not so sweet and hardly never smiles. We (my husband and I) getting the feeling they are feel as though they are doing us a favor by waiting on us.4) Ive been trying not to eat so many sweets but I cant give up my morning sweets to I switched from getting a glazed or glazed twist to a few donut holes. Over the last few months, Ive seen the amount of holes go from 5-6 for 0.50 cents to 2 holes. WOW...yes, really.5) We go on the weekend mornings for our sweet fix (when the other owners are working) there is often no parking. At first Id think, WOW..they must be packed in there but nooooo they take up the front store parking for themselves. I dont understand how owners of a business thinks its ok to be so inconsiderate to their customers. Last week, I witnessed an elderly lady park her car over by the grocery store and walked over (more like hobbled, she had a brace on her leg) but I guess she really wanted her donut fix too.This review is written with a sad heart...too bad...they once had the Best Donuts and Service.We miss Kim and Henry! They were the best!
Service a plus. I dont go as often anymore (healthier habits) When I do, the service has gotten much better.Donuts are usually fresh and delicious 😋
After driving north on PCH we stopped at 3 different coffee locations. Sad, they ran out of sweets, food snacks or coffee ran out. We continued north on PCH and found this wonderful Donut shop called BEST DONUTS amazing, friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean, rated A, parking, and had our donuts slightly heated and had a great cup of coffee. Wonderful hit the spot. Prices are very reasonable, table seating and east to notice off PCH.
Generous and delicious donuts and Thai tea, thank you.
This is a really great place. The staff is always super nice. Go with the ice coffee (Vietnamese style) and you can get a free donut. Also try the hot coffee and get the Mexican style. So good :)
Great Donuts and service. They have really good cake donuts. The chocolate chocolate is amazing.
It was fire! Honestly at first I was a little hesitant but its really good. I went around 2am for a wheat blueberry and I wish I lived closer to go back. Highly recommend.
Amazing, classic donuts. Why would anyone eat the fake, chemically enhanced junk at Krispy Kreme when these are just around the corner!
Great muffins Blueberry or Banana walnut 😋
Literally they have the best donuts
Very fluffy donuts the melt in your mouth instantly 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome donuts! Tasty and always fresh. Perfect!
Love the donuts here, feels like your classic donut shop. Great to pick up on my way to work for the office or a Friday night treat. Chocolate on Chocolate is my fav. 100% recommend.
Best I’ve ever had in my life.
They or me the Baker who work there. Am happy to be there to be part of team at Best Donuts to make the best donuts to serve the cummity.
Looked forward to a good donut today, a splurge. Decided to share a Cinnmaon roll with a friend (because actually they were huge). Got to our hotel balcony took one bite and spit it out in to a napkin, PURE grease bomb... inedible. This would have been ok but they were not friendly either:{{. just saying. There is a store next door a market wit incredible looking bakery. Try that if you are staying Hotel Hermosa across the street.
This place has been around forever and I actually use to visit it every day. They really do have the best donuts, pretty much anywhere. I miss them now I live in Kansas, but still try to visit at least once for fresh donuts when I visit Los Angeles.I highly recommend going between Midnight and 2:00AM to pickup the FRESH donuts being made. I suggest the chocolate glazed donut holes if they are hot, or the ultimate raised glazed as soon as they will allow you to buy them... generally this is around 2:00AM.
Donuts are amazing. We always recommend whenever anyone asks about homemade doughnuts. We love these guys!
Love this place! Best donuts in the South Bay. Lang is great and always so friend and helpful.
Delicately fluffy & delicious doughnuts. No greasy after taste or film left in my mouth.And the cafe de olla coffee was tasty.
Their sugar raised is a touch too dense for my liking. The texture of their old fashioned is a bit too cake-like. The French crueler was decent.
The name of the place describes their doughnuts perry well (other than the spelling mismatch). I recommend you try the French doughnuts. They are super soft with big air bubbles, like a croissant.
Came after Easter Sunrise Service. The donuts are fabulous. We had apple fritters, blueberry, choc sprinkles and glazed. The coffee was good too. The prices are great. Definitely recommend you give it a try!
I came in one night and the lady was so nice she gave me extra donuts.
Enormous (and delicious) fritters. Cant wait to try the rest of lineup.
Like it says Best Donuts anywhere!! Discovered by accident. Just a hole in the wall in a strip mall. Donuts made fresh all day, even great in early evening.
The quality of donuts is excellent still after 30 years of coming here!
Good donuts and they frequently give out extras.
Great donuts and quick service
They had croissants like my dad used to make. The service was good & the place was clean
Delicious donuts friendly service
No lines fast service
Love coming here. Really is the best donuts. Cheap too. $7 min for credit cards.
Great donuts. Especially the crumb cake donut!
Tasty donuts. My son likes it more than Dunkin Donuts. He says they are the best donuts ever.
My family has been going here forever. They are open all the time and their donuts are good
Great donuts especially the chocolate chocolate. Fresh coffee.
Delicious donuts. A must visit when in the area
Delicious donuts and croissants. Good prices too.
Honestly the best donuts ive ever had!! Me n my bf stopped by bcuz we were waiting for Uber & ended up buying a dozen! So yummy!
It was awful. The donuts were all rock hard and tasted like they’d been sitting out for 2 weeks. My apple fritter was a rock in disguise as a treat. :( if you wanna be sad go here :(
They have the best donuts.
Im calling health dept tomorrow morning to make sure these people are running a clean operation. Both my daughter and myself ate the same type of donut and spent two days puking our brains out!! Its not worth getting poisoned here, go elsewhere!!
Shabby looking, but good product.
Insanely cheap delicious treats.
Amazing people running the donuts shop, freshly made and always consistent!
Great apple fritter
Great hole in the Wall doughnut shop
Amazing best donuts

Ok place but very basic selection
I’ve been here twice and they didn’t have croissants. That’s all I gotta say.
I can see why Bey and Frank spent so much time here.
Delicious donuts and coffee for a cheap price
