The most amazing donuts, and fast customer service. We got married last week and instead of cake, we gave each of our guests a box of donut holes from Donut Friend. I swear they were such a hit! And the gal who handled our special order was so responsive and the delivery was on time. I was already a fan of Donut Friend...now Im a mega fan!

Super good value for gourmet donuts. Bonus points because all of them are vegan. Would 100% recommend the creme brûlée one!!

I thought I didn’t like donuts until I tried these. I love the unique flavors (the green Teagan & Sara/ matcha donut is my favorite) & their great selection. Who knew donuts could taste so good! My mind was blown when I found out they were all vegan.

This donut place was really good. They had some unique flavors and the coffee was excellent! My girlfriend enjoyed them too and had a good time chatting it up with the customers. Oh and the staff was very friendly and patient. This place is definitely a friend of the donut!

This vegan punk rock boutique donut shop was the brainchild of Mark Trombino, music producer for such bands as Jimmy Eat World and Blink 182 and former drummer of the band Drive Like Jehu.They make the donuts in house and you can customize the donuts to your liking.I’ll tell you as someone who’s not a vegan that the donuts here taste amazing and if it wasn’t advertised as a vegan donut you could never tell the difference.Everything in the store is plant based from the donut toppings to the almond milk you dip them in and the coffee creamer.Their donuts have Emo/Punk Rock band theme names like their chocolate donut, Fudgegazi based off the post-hardcore band Fugazi, and their blueberry donut Hüsker Blü, named after the punk rock band Hüsker Dü.The store is beautiful and well kept, the Punk theme is all throughout from the donut names to the font choices.the staff was very friendly. The employee helping me was in a great mood and laughed at my joke which I appreciated a lot 💁🏻The donuts are delicious and creative and clever. They were fluffy and very fresh and sweet and delicious.The area is hip and thriving and pretty green for LA! Lots of surrounding record stores, cafes, fun bars and great restaurants. Street parking only but fun to walk around the neighborhood.

STOP BEING HYSTERICAL ABOUT THE MASK. the glove you use to swipe credit card while touching the food has more germ than a healthy persons breath. use your brain and THINK!

The donuts are great! Parking could be better. I ordered online and was able to skip the line to pick it up.

Creme Brûlée donut is a must try. I haven’t seen so many varieties of donuts and the beauty is each one appears to be personalized.

I am amazed with the flavor and price of these donuts 😍 the youthbrulée was fabulous!! You can’t go wrong with this place

Amazing place. Donuts are huge. Donuts are delicious. Writing this makes me want to go back to buy more. This is not your typical donut store.

The unique donut flavors and combinations are very fresh and tasty and not heavy or over filling. The strawberry and cream one is absolutely delicious, and one of my faves

The donuts here taste amazing! Everything is 100% vegan which makes them even better. Staff were super patient and kind when telling me about each of the different types of donuts they offer. First time coming here and will definitely wont be the last time either.

My FAVORITE. You cannot tell the difference between these and non vegan. Amazing, and the customer service is on point.

Donut friend, more like donut fiend. My strawberry cream donut was spectacular. I savored every second of it. Thanks for the delightful treat my fiends.

Donut shop with actually good vegan options. They carry both yeast and cake donuts with inventive, fun, and delicious options. Highly suggest for a great treat, even if you’re not vegan!

Amazing variety of donuts and price range. The taste is as delicious as they look. The staff was so sweet and friendly!

Good donut.Good coffee (stumptown brew).Nice vibe.Recommend!

Come early before the line forms and have your pick of the freshest vegan donuts. The imaginative creations are amazing!

Best donuts I’ve ever had hands down! Try the mango or passion fruit they were the perfect amount of sweet and spicy!

Yum. This is the original location. They will customize your donut with a one in a million combination of ingredients and toppings. Compared to other famous places like Voodoo in Portland, they use less oil and sugar, and the dough is moister.

Excellent donuts, large variety!

I wish this place had a better sitting area with more comfortable chairs. Other than that The selection and flavors of Donuts are fantastic. All flavors are vegan (including the ice cream). I got the banana with cookie butter on a plain donut, and Samoa flavored one with ice cream. I highly recommend this place.

Always incredible vegan donuts in LA. Clean space and friendly staff.

Wow, the reviews dont lie - this spot is great! You wouldnt ever guess the donuts are vegan. All amazing! We got 4 of them on our visit: green Teagan and Sara, custard front drive (with green slime custard for halloween), x-ray speculoos, and caramel on parade. Loved them all - and Ill admit donuts are not even in my top 5 favorite desserts. Also got an iced mocha with oat milk - very good. Great service. Short line out the door during our 3 pm visit on a Saturday and plenty of donuts still available! Covid precautions allow only 2-3 parties inside at once (1 looking at donuts/ordering, 1 waiting to pay, 1 paying/receiving delicious goods). Definitely recommend a stop!

No matter where you are in LA you need to come to Donut Friend! For those who eat gluten free the donuts in the black print on the menu are the ones that can be made gluten free or you can go the DIY route. However, keep in mind that the gluten free donuts share a dryer with the non gluten free ones. I ordered the gluten free polar berry club and it was absolutely amazing! The donut was moist and flavorful, the berries were ripe and sweet and the lemon glaze was to die for. My sister got the Panda berry and was completely satisfied. I cant wait to go and try the others!

Best donuts ever, my personal favorites is the Green Teagan and Sarah and the X-ray Speculoos! Staff are always nice and we are never disappointed (unless my fav donuts are sold out). Recommend calling your order in advance if it’s close to closing to make sure the donuts you want are still available.

This spot is always a winner! This donut is more than a donut. Its tasty, round, and just darn beautiful. Go try it, NOW!

Great donuts hopefully the workers are being treated better these days!

This place may be heaven on Earth. Create your own donut, what more do you want. All the donuts are vegan too, but it is honestly the best donut Ive had in LA, and maybe the entire US.

Definitely the place to go for fun vegan donuts! The flavors are all very unique and interesting, but they still have some basics for the traditionalists. Some of my favorites were: the Polar Berry and the Smores. I didnt care much for the Cookie Butter and my boyfriend didnt like it at all because it was salted. I picked up a classic maple as well because thats my favorite basic donut and that was great quality. My non-vegan boyfriend thought the Smores was incredible! We also picked up the Fudge and Rice Crispy which were both good but not the best. I totally recommend this place to any vegan looking for a real decadent sugary, fatty treat. These 6 donuts ran me about $20 so not cheap! But totally treat yo self!

Highly recommended stop on a trip to LA.Donut Friend has amazing vegan doughnuts! I cant say enough about how tasty and colorful they are. The cute location has been busy each time Ive stopped in in the evening, but the line moves quickly and the treat is worth the wait.

Inspired gourmet donut recipes: Dessert and beyond. Often imitated, never matched.

I loved their donuts and good coffee to go with it.

OMG just had one of the best donuts of my life here in LA at Donut Friend! I got the Polar Berry Club donut and it tastes as good as it looks! The ingredients are so fresh which really makes a difference and everything just tastes wonderful. Ive tried a lot of different donut places around LA and this is my favorite!

Delicious vegan donuts with customizable options! No wonder people are always lined up for their donuts. Their donuts and toppings taste incredible, you wouldnt believe that theyre completely vegan! Must try: GG Almond and Strawberry Lab donuts.

The super cool thing about Donut Friend is you can grab a gluten-free donut and customize the donut with MOST of the options. The gluten-free donut is made without wheat flour BUT made in a kitchen with wheat flour. Ive had three gluten-free donuts, and I didnt get sick. You can choose your favorite fillings and toppings. I found a parking lot within one block. The customer service is excellent. They offer ample indoor seating, drinks, and napkins. You may see a line on the weekend, but the line is worth the wait.

How are the gluten free donuts considered gluten free after goi into the same fryer as the regular donuts. They lie about ingredients too.

Donuts are tha bomb. The peeps there are great. the only downside is the limited selection about an hour& a half before closing. otherwise, love it.

Awesome donuts. Everyone is so friendly. Donuts taste amazing.

Small but cute and trendy with very helpful staff. Great vegan Donuts very fresh. You can purchase pre-made wonderful Creations like polar Berry doughnuts. Or you can make your own amazing donut. Very tiny space inside for sitting couple tables that are very small outside. Parking is either on the street or immediately around the corner at a public lot.

Im a new vegan and i havent had a donut in a while until a friend of mine suggested this place. the fact that they use puns to name their donuts is hilarious. i only wish I knew what i was getting into before ordering a whole dozen lol.

They have such an amazing selection of donuts. They can make some on demand! Some of the proceeds of some of them go to charity. The compassionfruit is my favorite. But seriously the flavors are insane!

Simply the best, most delicious donuts. Do yourself a favor and go to Donut Friend! Each Flavor is to die for! The Green Teagan and Sara, Hüsker Blue, and the Old Fashioned chocolate topped donuts are my favorite. cant wait to go back!

Holy gentrification, Batman. They have these off the wall donuts at these awesomely expensive prices. So I think I dropped $40 bucks here because I felt like ballin out on some carbs. I think I ordered almost one of everything they had that looked different. They have some great concoctions and some run-of-the-mill items that arent really worth it. If youre there for a couple of pieces, definitely a good side piece for your equally expensive latte.

A must try, the donuts are soft, light, fluffy and delicious. They are not too sweet. Even after a day, it taste great. Highly suggest sharing with friends or family as these donuts are huge and youll be able to try different flavors without the guilt.

Hip donut place, brand-forward with some unique flavor combinations. They also do ice cream and milkshakes.

I mean...what else is there really to say about this place except that they have AMAZING donuts????? Their flavor combinations and donut concepts are really unique and their prices are really decent! We tried four different flavors for our first rendezvous here and we were not disappointed. These are not the exact names (because for the life of me I cant remember them all haha) but we tried the one that was like a Samoan cookie, one that was filled with nutella, another that is apparently a customer favorite which is filled with strawberry and whipped cream, and the last was a coconut and lime donut.Honestly folks, you cant go wrong with whatever you choose!!The only down side was parking was kinda rough when we went (highland park is getting so hipster!!!!) And we had to search around to get napkins and knives. All minor things that really didnt matter too much when you are in donut heaven :)

Theres no question that this is t h e best spot for donuts in LA. AND theyre dairy free..You have basically no excuse not to try it. The motion city sandwhich is epic. SO CUSTOMIZABLE. Line moves fairly fast and they are friendly and helpful. I have only ever been to this location, but its the only one I need. Love you guys 💗

My favorite vegan donut spot!! There are excellent choices and diverse flavors something for everyone! If you dont see a donut that they have in their case that they have on the certain menu they will make it fresh for you!! Donut friend is the best vegan donut spot ever! Old fashioned, Creme Brulee. You name it theyve got it!🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩💗👍👏🙏🏼🙏🏼😋😋

Absolutely amazing! Hands down THE best donuts ever.

Oh wow! So much deliciousness!! And the names of the donuts are very punny!! Delicious donuts friendly staff. Great gourmet dessert treats. Check them out!

All vegan donuts- I love the simple strawberry donut with whipped cream filling! Yuuuuuummmmmmmmmm I come here every time I visit Pasadena. Forgive me, I forgot to take pictures before cutting into my delicious donut!!

Just another level. This place serves really good donuts.

Pretty good donut place! Many options to chose from. Friendly staff!

Greatest donuts of all time! And they just happen to be vegan. Try the DIY donuts; you can make any combo you want. Literally its donut heaven!

I drove up from San Diego for these donuts--a 200+ mile round trip. They did not disappoint.I heard about Donut Friend from a YouTube video and knew I had to go when I saw green tea glaze and donuts filled with strawberries and the vegan version of cream. Youll never know its not real. Everything tastes rich, sweet, and artery-hardening, plant-based or no.Theyre open until 10 p.m. on most days from what I remember, so they have breakfast treats and late night cravings covered. Theres a wide selection of ready-made donuts in their cases; you can take singles, a box of four, or a dozen. (I took four, then saw a tray of the green tea ones come out fresh from the oven while at the register. The employee helping me kindly obliged my gluttony by fetching me one of those to boot.) You can also mix and match glazes, toppings, and donuts, which can be as traditional as chocolate or cinnamon to as adventurous as maple bacon or salted caramel pretzel.Everything looked and tasted fresh. The shop itself is simple and clean. Parking can be a little tricky, but I managed with a reasonably priced lot right around the corner. Five donuts ran to $15, but if Im willing to drive four hours to get them, price is of no consequence. Besides, they apparently donate a large portion of their profits to various organizations (Planned Parenthood is what the sign on the counter read on my visit). While these donuts might not be the best thing for waistlines, theyre doing good in the world at large.

Expensive but tasty and fun! The employee was very nice when I accidentally spilled some leftover poke on the floor.

Best Donuts, can’t believe they are all vegan 🤗

Best donuts, great price, and friendly staff. Long line, but the staff where fast in attending the crowed in a timely, and friendly manner. Kudos to the staff, great job!!!!

Amazing little donut shop! the donuts were delicious & the staff were so sweet! if you aren’t sure what to get ask the staff! They’ll let you know what’s good, what’s great, and what’s their favorite.

Need more places like this! $2 for the best donut of your life is a no-brainer.Almost forgot to add... Please come to Chicago!

Absolute Perfection!!!!!! Employees are very nice... always a great experience! 🤙💚🌺☮ coffee was delicious I had the pumpkin spice macchiato. My husband bought us 2dz donuts. 1of each 🤤🤤🤤🤤

So delicious, I really enjoyed myself.

Bomb place for an all vegan donut! They have exotic flavors and combinations as well as normal flavored/combination vegan donuts. Good employees, clean place, high prices for vegan and/or exotic ingredients. But delicious donuts! 4 stars of 5 due to high prices. Love coming here.

Ive been to Donut Friend quite a few times and Im always pleased with the service and donuts. Im a vegetarian and have a vegan in the family and someone thats allergic to dairy and this place is so amazing for us all to have a delicious treat. We have driven lots of miles to come here because of how delicious the donuts are. We usually get a couple donuts each because the 1st one usually gets eaten so fast,you definitely need a 2nd one,at least. Theres usually a line out the door but the efficiency and speed of the employees are great,its never a long wait. Theres tons of close by street parking. The prices for these donuts are right on point.

I could cry! I was so happy to find a vegan donut shop and on top of that, they were freaking delicious and beautiful! Little yummy works of art!

You have a round bodyWith a hole at your center.I want to taste youLick, bite and smell you.When I have youI feel and taste happy.When you are goneI know what I did wrong.Until we meet again,I miss you my Donut Friend.Best vegan donuts that I have ever tasted. My favorite (and only one Ive tasted) is the promise ring. It is plain and glazed. I also spice it up with vanilla and maple glaze sometimes.Donuts so good they inspire poetry!

Absolutely delicious vegan treats for the whole family, and my son with a peanut allergy is even able to eat some of the donuts.

We call this place Donut Fiend because we get crazy cravings. Their fancy donuts are so delicious. Our favorite over indulgence. Eat it!

Best donuts in town. A must when youre in the area!

Hands down best vegan donuts in LA. They even taste better than non vegan donuts. I have had non vegan friends try them and they couldnt believe how good they were and said they wouldnt have known the donuts were vegan had I not told them. I only wish they used Postmates or Grubhub so I wouldnt have to drive from Burbank all the time. They use Caviar which does not deliver to all of the LA area like the other 2 do.

Delicious and vegan and you cant even taste the difference!

Minus the chocolate one because I ate it on the drive....🤭...simply BOMB...I love the taste of all of them, the Carmel one not so much. I can appreciate the real taste of the ingredients....I’m a super donut lover so these meet my expectations...I will be back for more...once I’ve earn 20 stars I get a free donut...which will NOT be hard to accomplish...

Donuts made to order. The friendliest staff imaginable. Already planning my next trip.

This place is a must try! As a vegan it is hard to find a donut shop with variety of flavors. Donut Friends donuts are amazingly delicious. Wish Donut Friends opened a location in Dallas.

Always worth the trip for these fresh baked, eclectic variety of vegan donuts! My siblings didn’t even know they were 100% plant-based!

Worth it!!! Delicious food and friendly environment.Parking is limited to street parking in front, so you will most likely have to park else where and walk to the store front. I was able to secure a spot on a fairly busy Saturday afternoon.The donuts here are incredibly creative and delicious with many options. We had 4 people in our group, and every one was able to find something that suited their tastes and/or dietary restrictions! Offering vegan/vegetarian/and gluten free.Most items are by default Vegan 🤠 🙈 but you wouldnt know itOne thing I will say is that the dinning area is small, and space is limited both in and out of store. So be prepared to eat in close quarters or take your donuts to go. Everything is packaged well, which should make sure any one with a moderate driving style will get home safely with their bounty.

Best donuts Ive had in a long time if not ever.

Its all VEGAN!!! Bet a lot of folks didnt know that! Or couldnt tell the difference. Their donuts are packed full of taste and affordable! Around $3.50 each....crème brulee and mint chocolate creme stack!Ive tasted my far share of bad vegan desserts that only taste like one thing...one type is sugar, no matter the change in texture of additions. But this place is fantastic! They even had vegan scoops.It is highland parks Yorktown. Good luck with parking.

My all time favorite donuts! These are absolutely delicious. You would never guess they are vegan.

Donuts 🍩 and Ice-cream 🍦 Im in!Would of Loved for the Donuts to be warm, but maybe thats only in the Mornings. Not sure if they are freshly hand made daily.

After going vegan, I missed the complex artisan donuts that some donut shops like to make. I was excited to hear about Donut Friend, a donut shop that makes similar donuts that are 100% vegan!I stopped by on a Friday night and there was a line, but nothing crazy - maybe a 10 minute wait? I assume the peak hours are around that time.When I got inside, I walked by a display case filled with different types of artisan donuts. Each donut had a punny name and they all looked fancy.Prices per donut vary; the ones I got were $3-$4 each. Pricey compared to 7-eleven, but about normal for an artisan donut place.I bought 4 donuts and they were delicious! My favorites were the Smorrissey (smore) and the Fudgegazi (chocolate with chocolate whipped frosting.)This must remain an occasional indulgence due to both the high sugar content and the price; however, Id definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique vegan treat.

Only after shoving 4 raised donuts in our mouths, including a maple bacon flavor did we realize they were all vegan! Currently my favorite donut shop ever, and I love donuts. Weve been back since and tried as many flavors as we could, we can say for certain, theyre masters of the delicate balance of sweetness, not too little not too much. I find most places are cloyingly sweet, making it hard to finish one, donut friend makes theirs so balanced you find it hard to stop at 2.

I didn’t taste one bad donut they were all b.c

I had a sister come into town and she asked me to go back here. Prices were good for how much you get. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

One of the best donut shops in town. A must try!

The donuts here are off the hook! A little pricey but excellent quality, flavor and original creative menu.

My # favorite donut shop. Im not vegan and love the donuts here. My favorite donut is the xray Spec. It has chocolate and peanutbutter with specs of sea salt. The mint one is a lemon cream with mint and blueberry jam its ok really sugary so if your a fan of jelly donuts try this one. My second favorite is a seasonal one the pumpkin pie ball one. This place is great must try and the prices vary some are $2.50 others can be $4.50. Love love donut friend.

Ive only been there once but I loved it and Id love to go there again! The idea of building your own donut is great. I ordered a regular glazed donut and filled it with nutella, bananas and strawberries. The fruit was fresh and the donut itself was delicious 🍩

AMAZING AND WORTH IT!! Yummy, everything is delicious. Go, its A MUST

We are from Pittsburgh, PA, and this was on our list of awesome vegan places to try in LA. It did not disappoint. They had tons of premade options, as well as DIY. We are chocolate fanatics, so we got the one with chocolate frosting and chips and the Smores one. They were so good Im considering buying a dozen before leaving here.

Went here with my family and everyone agreed that theyre the best donuts weve ever had.

We went late so limited selection. Cool concept and many delicious donuts. If you go early everything will be much more fresh. Variety to satisfy every craving.

Freaking awesome! All vegan and a real treat for the donut deprived. Very friendly fun staff.

Very yummy donuts, fast service, nice employees. Whats not to like? I recommend their cinnamon donut - it is positively scrumptious!

This is the only place I get ice cream in LAVery clean vegan pastry. Awesome spot.

Great place.

Donuts are my absolute favorite treat, and when I went vegan it was a bummer to give them up. But then I discovered Donut Friend and fell in loooove. Not only are the donuts insanely delicious, the staff are always so lovely! My partner and I brought in our own container for the donuts and felt a bit hesitant to ask to use it, but the staff member was so sweet and was happy to use it - and the donuts fit perfectly inside which was so satisfying haha Parking in this are can be a bit tough so I’d recommend parking on the streets a block behind, just make sure to check the parking rules :)

Stopped here for dessert and had a fancy donut!! We tried the compassion fruit, green teagan and Sarah, and polar beary club. All were super tasty!! Super fun!

Build a sweet tooth craving and leave happier than youve been. I love this place. Being vegan is so easy!!
