Reviews of DK's Donuts & Bakery (Bakery)

Toney Green

Wow. The selection of doughnuts is incredible! There are so many to choose from. The prices are reasonable but they only accept CASH. There is an ATM with a $1.99 fee to use it. Parking is limited as well. Also, there's a 7-11 in the same center that has shady folks hanging around. Just be mindful of your surroundings after 7pm.

Tonnie Leader

Everyday fresh. Staffs were friendly and always smiling. Freshly baked everyday. Had various flavors available.

Coraleen Phulin

A perfect place for my cravings for donuts. I love the great taste of it and it was so good. It has a lot of flavor to choose and it was all good as well. Always good customer service.

Annette Hargan

I do not have a sweet tooth, but my son loves this place. They have a wide range of different flavored donuts, in my opinion, they all look better than they taste, but my son and English cousin who came to stay would beg to differ. They are ver popular. They are also a cash only store.

Rozzel Luna

Got a dozen for $30 and overall it was delish. The flavors were not overbearing and the dough itself didn't make me feel heavy afterwards. They're super creative with their designs and all look amazing but they all also tasted very similar. Food: 8.5/10 Service: 7/10 Overall: 8.5/10

Jeff Kim

Huge selection of donuts. I mean huge. All kinds of donut creations. From a Nutella donut, to Girl Scout cookie donut. I was impressed and will be back. A little high prices for $3 a donut, but worth it for the custom creations.

Daniel Lyell

I can't not go here when I am in Santa Monica. Very friendly service. Reasonably priced donuts. I always go for the cinnamon crunch holes. They are my go to here. Always open. Try to bring some home but they never make it:-(

Patti Langrehr

They have the Best doughnuts I have ever had!!!! Love them!!!

Kyle Thomas

These donuts are reeeeeediculous. They have the wildest flavors and creations. I’ve never had anything bad here. This is a must stop donut shop for anyone in Santa Monica!

P Les

Always a great selection of donuts.

Lindsay Thompson

Best donuts in LA ! this place has a huge selection of donuts and if they don’t have what you want will make it right there on the spot. They have such a great variety and it’s very Instagramable. Located not far from the Santa Monica pier they have easy parking and great service! This place is a must on every foodies list.

Roxanne Eberhart

Love, Love, Love their Cronuts. A touch on the spendy side, but what a decadent treat! No checks/credit cards accepted, but ATM (fee) inside. Open 365 and 24/7, it doesn't get any better than that. Safe neighborhood to be in at night if you've got a 3 a.m. craving.

Adrian Sandoval

I love DKs!! Been coming here for a while regardless from the fact of moving from LA. A must whenever I'm in town!

Ben Griesse

Used to be five stars but they stopped accepting credit cards (sorry, cash only) and their donuts just aren't as amazing as they used to be. Using their classic glazed donuts as a standard, these used to be the best, fluffiest and most flavorful donuts in L.A. But now they have lost flavor, almost as if they added too much baking powder. I used to rave about this place to everyone and even recommend driving out of the way to get incredible donuts, cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, ham and cheese croissants, and much more. Now, I will only stop in if I am desperate for a donut fix and happen to be driving by. Still four stars good, just not what they used to be.

There's a reason why this place is always packed. It's really about the donuts. Yes, you can grab a cup of coffee or a "breakfast burrito" but this is straight up DONUT HEAVEN. There's some I like more than others of course but in the end, darn good. I don't like their ham and cheese croissants - the ham tastes cheap tbh. I've had better down the street at a donut shop on the corner of Pico and Lincoln. I'd actually stay away from all of their croissants. Just stick to the donuts here. I've had my fair share of donuts from way too many places so hopefully my discerning donut ways have some sway. :-)

wizeburn

Great donut spot. So good. Everything from glazed donuts to extreme concoctions. Every donut is tasty!

Brianna Butler

when i went here i got my an amazing donut(classic glaze) and i loved it!!

Trina Thompson

I love this place! If you want a unique donut, then visit this place.

anneclarisse16

A lot of good unhealthy options that people love

Claire Eberle

Best donuts and great selection

Michele Paige

Love the donuts but the staff are horrible. They made a mistake with my order and never brought it then asked me to go get it. The man hung up on me. Never using them again. So rude and irresponsible blaming us for their mistake. Unbelievable.

Yasmin Khan

Must go and try!! Great selection

Jeffrey Calhoun

Variety and lots of foods. They have decaf coffee and good service.

Lissana Tamayo

When I came to DK Doughnut Shop

Jai M.

Go get one donut here and your life will never be the same.

Terry Tulak

Okay so we saw this donut shop on a list of the best donut shops in LA. So we decided to check it out. They have hands down the most beautiful doughnuts I've ever seen. We decide to try 4. our favorite was a double chocolate layered red velvet doughnut layered in chocolate twice. We also had a unicorn doughnut just beautiful and a cronut again flaky and delicious. Our last one was a vanilla cream it probably was our least favorite. While we were there a film crew was filming the making of one of their jumbo Donuts. Jumbo donut is a size of a plate. The film crew was from Denmark. This place also has great sandwiches,, drinks, tea and muffins and bagels. If you want to see some beautiful doughnuts check this place out. Not much of a parking lot so it may take you awhile to park but it'll be worth it. Another thing a great value is it there open 24/7 365 days a year. They never close.

Craig Rogers

Great variety! Good quality. Still prefer Randy's, but if you're in Santa Monica you can do a lot worse than here. Good stuff.

Rob Bedell

It's a great little shop. My girlfriend loves their donuts. They have regular donuts, but their specialty ones are great. More expensive, but worth it.

Dee Dee N

So good and very unique donut/dessert creations. Innovators!

People don’t know About this

They have so many different choices of donuts and other items. All the donuts look so amazing and delicious it was hard for me to choose a couple of donuts. People kept coming in getting donuts. one thing you need to know is that they only except cash. Make sure you have cash on you. They have great customer service I was very happy with my donut experience. I got the blue Rainbow donut and two unicorn donuts. Oh one more thing they are open 24/7 so if you need a donut fix they got you any time of the day.

Salad Chicken

Expensive but good. Not so good service and overall cleanliness is what brought it down to 3 star.

Jose Barajas

Everytime I come visit family in Venice I have to get donuts here! So bummed I found out they SHIP! Got donuts from a plce in San Diego (I'm from there) for my bday, wasnt happy. So excited i can order!

K P

The cronuts are the bomb! Love these gourmet and fun flavors! Really expensive but totally worth it. I hate that it's CASH ONLY though.

Tynan Schmidt

choices, Kona coffee, going here for years

Kylie Beecher

Such a nice and patient staff with amazing and unique donuts!

JASON LOTT

Always fresh & always delicious. Service declines when they’re busy & you will need to know what you want without questions. Cash only!

Angela H

I use to love DK donuts. For a while I was going very often, but ever since they changed something on the way they are done, for some reason I can taste the oil in the donuts

Freedom51

Very disappointed, i wanted to have that big Texas donut and we have to order it in advance

Bailey Smith

Great designs, love boba. Donuts too savory.

Ryan Himel

I really like their version of cronuts, but sometimes they don't have orders ready in a prompt fashion.

Martin Resendiz Jr.

24 hour donut place,

Jose Cuevas

Best Coffee ever

Ducati Guy

This place has good looking donuts but at the same time this place is dirty filthy. Their prep table, toasting machines and etc. Look greaseball dirty too.

Laur Hend

Worst customer service ever. They called and cancelled my order and then didn’t refund me. When I called the guy was so rude and I asked to be refunded and he abruptly told me no and then proceeded to push me off the phone. I will never in my life order from here again and I will tell everyone not to order from here. I am so disappointed, they ruined Valentine’s Day.

john gallegos

Some extremely creative and tasty donuts. If you are in the area it’s worth the stop for sure! Try the churro croissant donut (cronut)

David Wilkins

Best donuts I've ever had! Unbelievable selection.....and all freshly made.

Anthony Guarino

Came here with my girlfriend while we were in LA. Very great selection of donuts. Staff was also very helpful with their recommendations.

Bryant Mosley

A lil overhyped. Sorry just my opinion. Definitely a Instagram photo opp

Angel Montoya

I love this place. I drive all the way to Santa Monica to eat the low carb food here.But the other donuts that look so delicious are photos below

Stella Cooper

This a home and a perfect place for sweets cravings. donuts and sandwiches was so good. I can say everything was so good here. That was an excellent service as well.

henry taylor

Good donuts just lines are way to long.

Lori Lehman

This is my favorite donut shop. Best variety. Best people. And I like to watch the cops that go in there. I love their blue berry donuts.

Jamie Brodzinski Kolker

Selection is amazing but the donuts are just alright. Prices are way to high for plain tasting treats with exotic sounding names. But the mini cream puffs? Addiction city!

Michael Dettmar

Nice donut shop that is a bit hit or miss, but has some breathtaking highlights that merit a 5-star rating. Namely: 1. The cronut is out of this world - better than the original Dominique Ansel one for like half the price 2. The ube donuts are

jon duong

First time I tried the wow-donut with white chocolate with oreo. Wow! Really good!

Dvinee Destiny

Awesome place open 24 hours and a great great variety of creative donuts

Eugene Washington

Abundant variety to choose from,pricey but fresh & good.

Richard Huston

The donuts I tried were tasty, but the one question I had to ask myself is that at 6pm they had a whole lot of donuts in their cases. So how long have those Donuts been there? What is their turnover rate?

Helsa Chamberlin

Mmmmmmmm Good variety

Samm kevin

Okay doughnuts. Don't hold your breath.

Elisa Alexander

Amazing customer service..... Armen went above and beyond to make my daughters birthday cake beautiful, he went out of his way to make last minute changes to the cake due to the cake topper not being delivered on Time... The cake came out amazing,,, even better than what it was supposed to look like... Not only did the cake turn out beautiful, it tasted incredible.. All my guests were asking where I got my cake from.... I would recommend them to everyone!!!!!

Spencer Kahn

All hype. I demand more out of a bakery than a bunch of IG hype.

Bruce Kamin

Oh my, try just anyone you’ll be hooked

DAWNITA WILEY

ALL IMMA SAY IS THIS IS WHERE YOU WANNA B!!!

Donna Wolsefer

Awesome donuts, so much to choose from. Don’t let the outside turn you off.

Agustin Robles

I love my dark blue berry muffins; therefore, this is one of my favorite places for my baked goods.

Anita NK

Very friendly, service is fast on time. They make one of the best pastries

Mike Maryniarczyk

The donuts are amazing but try the breakfast burritos okay? Promise me you will.

pierce deborah

Clean friendly atmosphere food is delicious and I like that they gave me a extra tea bag for my taste love them for that!

Eddie Reyes

This place is one of a kind. They sell everything but their donuts are their specialty (for obvious reasons). I only come here for their unique protein donuts. I don't see them sold anywhere else so my go-to donut shop is always DK's

Eric Lee

Soooo good! I love their donuts too much lol

James Pellizzi

Awesome selection, tasty donuts.

Louise Espino

Welcome to DONUT HEAVEN! Cheap, quality, delicious donuts 24/7!! Make sure you bring CASH since they don't accept cards. The donuts are fresh and they offer a huge variety of flavours. I'm literally here every month and my goal is to try all their flavours. That being said, the fact that they have so many different kinds naturally lends to some of them being duds. My suggestion is to grab at least 6 or even a dirty dozen to sample and see which ones hit your spot. MUST TRY: green tea (my absolute fav since it's not too sweet), apple fritter, lavender, original cronut (very sweet)

Sophia Jord

My favorite donuts from DK's are the ube with bacon cake donut and the red velvet cake donut. They always have many different flavors and types to choose from. Check them out if you're in the area.

Leonardo Ramirez

Good product or not, to have the best experience is a friendly and welcome environment. Nobody greeted me as I walked in, And you just know they have something to say in their foreign language. If you like being welcomed when helping a business, wouldn’t recommend this place.

Jonathan Truong

A friend owns this shop and I finally got a chance to visit. Totally lives up to it's hype

Line Vault

Stumbled upon this gem while i was high doing postmates lol.....gold!!! Try the churro donuts!!

Sarah Pena

Try the apple fritter. You won't regret it. They also have a lot of aesthetically pleasing and delicious donuts!

Shannon Miller

The amazing DK Donuts has now teamed up with the daughters princess donuts to provide an even wider selection of novelty and classic donuts. The cases are always stocked with an amazing fresh selection when you go. The place is cash only so bring extra because it's hard to leave with one. From cream puffs to French cruelers to wild fruity pebble topped donuts there is something for everyone. They have sandwiches and coffee too. Be patient because the lot gets busy.

Husaini Syed

Great tasting fresh donuts!!! Super soft and yummy!!! Tons of flavors to choose from. Small place, lots of coffee choices. Friendly owners, small lot shared by other stores so parking is kinda tight, but lots of street parking available!!

Melissa Roellich

Cash only amazing selection too!

Jason McCracken

Amazing glazed buttermilk bars but the others are hit and miss. Apple fritters are frequently over cooked, tasting burned. Fry oil isn't changed/ filtered as often as it should be and you can taste it from time to time if you visit often. I really want to like this donut shop more but the inconsistent donuts make that hard. It's sometimes really good and other times I've just thrown the donuts out because they weren't worth eating. Good news is that if they really want to make the adjustments to be better it would be a straight forward fix - bad news is that they don't seem motivated to do so (or can't taste the difference themselves). Glazed buttermilk bars are the safest bet and the best choice every time.

Juanita Chapman

I try a different donut everytime I visit this place and I'm never disappointed

kilian paul

Got food poisoning from crassaint eagg and cheese sandwich

Ms. Harris

The only bad thing is that they don't accept debit card! But still a nice place. They have different types of donuts! An example would be one with bacon!

Hope Kostensky

Delicious bacon, avocado omelette bagel! So so many yummy donuts!

Abby Aiken

On the outside of the store it says, "Welcome to donut heaven". That is completely accurate! This place was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I would recommend this place to everyone and it wasn't very expensive at all! I had the cookie doigh donut, which was a cut in half glazed donut with a giant scoop of cookie dough in the middle! And on top of that the very nice employee's heated it up and it was very delicious!

Aaron Hatfield

It was an okay donut shop, donuts were average. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, they were stale and the flavors just weren't there. Either too sweet or lacking something. Presentation is good, they have stuff with flowers and cool designs, but they lack in the taste department. They are CASH ONLY

Shirley Carrizales

Best donuts I've ever tasted in my love and I'm a big donut lover they are so delicious I will be going there more often now I highly recommend getting donuts here I had to park at a meter and walk over there There was no parking available but the far walk was so worth the delicious donuts

adriana phan

I love the donuts here. Their so rich in flavor and it’s not that moist just right.

Marcus Lawson

The donut "mini" princess is great and she remembered me. Fruity Pebble O-nut with fresh strawberries

Matymus The Awesomous

This place is AWESOME! SO MANY CHOICES!!!!

Ruby Booker-Lee

Best cinnamon crumb donuts!

Jackaroo Dundee

My high school bully works here. They are bad people.i would never ask for any of my friends to work or eat here. They are terrible people for harbouring a bully that terrorised people that went from this country...

Patricia Barlow

Donuts galore. Big variety. Got maple bacon donut as treat for hubby. Not terribly friendly people to wait on customers.

Pat Moreno

Sandwiches are incredible! Lots of filling at an incredibly reasonable price. One of the best values in town. I stumbled on this place by accident. I never expected a donut shop to have great sandwiches but they do.

Jacob Ventura

Loved the original bacon and cinnamon something...I just ate them I don't remember. Overall, a huge selection and they are open 24 hours.

Markie Brier

Good donuts they have. Staff is friendly to there regularly customers. Still cash only store unless you order threw postmates or grubhub etc etc.

Joanna Molina

Munchies donuts

Elizabeth Saunders

fast and courteous service.

T M

The selection of donuts here is amazing and avant-garde to say the least. Pizza donuts, cereal donuts? I love it all! They also have beverages, milk and sodas. They only take cash though so that's why I'm taking off one star. They are 24 hours so be careful if you visit at night.

chR!ZaSuPAwAsTEafUkuPSpErm ShESwaLLWudADuMBtch

I do love this place I do love their croissant sandwiches I do wish that they cut their vegetables a little bit spinner and I wish they would give me more Sprouts on my sandwich I wish they weren't so expensive but they are definitely really good so I do pay that amount for that little bit but just an FYI is better to get the sub sandwich then the croissant sandwich even though the croissant sandwich taste better you get way more to the same price or I think a little bit cheaper for a sub sandwich then a croissant sandwich I usually get the veggie oh I'm drooling just thinking about it I usually get the veggie croissant and I add bacon and avocado is already on it and I take off the Cucumber and put extra extra sprouts and it's so phenomenal and I check out the mayonnaise cuz I don't like mayonnaise I still have not been adventurous enough to try one of the donuts with Fruity Pebbles on it although Fruity Pebbles are my fav but I do love their donuts they're not a fan of the donuts that are really really hard and dense but I do love the donuts that are like Aryan big and fluffy my favorite is the cinnamon twists with the crumbs on it super fantastic the staffs kind of rude but I guess it's doable when the food is that good it would just be a hell of a lot better if the staff was nicer and would be a hell of a lot better if they took credit card instead of just cash cuz that's a pain in the butt especially when you work right there and you don't have cash in your pocket here going on your break you have to have cash but you don't have cash cuz you are at work and it is the new times the new Air has everybody uses their phone get with it guys you guys will make a hell of a lot more money just a thought

Stacie Rathbone

The best donuts, all different types I recommend the salted caramel or the matcha damm there all good, cash only but cheap and worth it, also a great gift

Mindy Perez

Visiting LA from Colorado. Drove to Santa Monica to try the big donut not knowing that you have to order it the day before in order to get one. So I went with couple of the smaller ones. They have a pretty cool selection, all of the ones we tried were good. If you ask me it's overpriced and the employees are rude. If you don't mind bad service the donuts are pretty good. Also they only take cash.

LuvLy Self

Almost too many flavors to pick from! Staff could have been a little friendlier and the website needs to be updated for places that actually deliver 24/7. But most importantly, the donuts were delucious!

Nicole Mazzilli

Not as good as the hype this place gets. The store is small and they don’t have that many donuts to pick from. The donuts didn’t look that good so I just choose the maple bacon one it was just average. Also got a cronut and the cream was not good.

Tony C

Best donuts in LA!

A B

When in LA I always stop by here and get me some donuts, it seems like changed something because the donuts tasted better than ever, dang it was good!

Wilson Rolim de Oliveira

Fresh Croissants & Donuts & Coffee all day long...

Ryan Ole Hass

One of the best donut places on the westside. Not as fancy as Sidecar, but super creative donuts and a huge selection + cronuts!!! Their buttermilk donuts are delish when hot out of the kitchen ♥️♥️♥️ SK's is my favorite on the Eastside

charlee robins

best donuts ever! oh so good. I love this place very much

Tony Gonzales

Great donuts always have a variety to choose from the only downside is they only take cash so always make sure you bring cash with you when you come here.

Ernie Santiago

Good and fresh doughnuts, a little bit pricey.

Bueno Babydolls

The best donut place ever!!! Please make one in San Diego! Actually no... I will get fat of you do haha but seriously, this place is the best!

Mike Dituri

DK’s is the absolute best donut shop around. I love this place. They serve all the classics hot and fresh. If you are feeling frisky they have some WILD donuts to try.

David Schwarz

Rare treat. They got all kinds of different textures, icings, creams... I love the unicorn. It has the slightly undercooked doughy, chewy, but still fluffy texture that is in all of my favorite donuts

Will u tell the Truth

Great except dangerous corner attracts homeless criminals

Jason Karuza

Great selection and reasonable-ish prices (though not cheap). No friendly greeting upon entry to an empty store this visit.

Angel Gonzalez

I came to buy me a sandwich and the cashier was multitasking he was touch money, the counter and other things around. He was getting ready to make my sandwich too with dirty hands. I asked him to please wash your hands he responded back to me with attitude and also insulting me making comments in their language the other person behind the counter he was very rude and told me they wash their hands and wear gloves and also told me if I don’t like it I can leave and said I was not the owner that should be telling him what to do. I asked the other person very politely to wash his hands to make my sandstone and he turned back insulting me what ashamed.... never coming back again...

Jon Jr. Osuna

Finally! A great original LA donut shop serving up delicious donuts. This is my go to place for some donuts when I'm in the area. I will definitely be back for more whenever I can.

Crystal Wallie

My fave pastries are the mini brownie dipped in dark chocolate and the chocolate vegan donut!! Can't get enough!!!

Andy Klein

Love this place! Amazing selection of donuts, but don't sleep on the delicious smoothies.

Susana Bisso

I love this place! The donuts are amazing and the staff is so nice. They are open 24 hours just in case you have a craving at 1 in the morning.

Ann D

10/10 donuts. Must go to if you’re on Santa Monica. Even the breakfast sandwiches are amazing. But donuts are what you are going for. We return every single day we’re in SM.

Melanie Rian

I has a great time their with my family great service and I will go their again

Jeff R

Great donuts... 24/7 365 days a year

Ame Flournoy

Incredible donuts and they have some vegan options!

NICHOLASV ENTRE

Wow. If you really love donuts this is a good place to check out cravings you haven’t even explored yet..for real. I went in to pick up a post mates order.. I will be back on one of those cheat days between workouts but, it’s even a great place to go see all the amazing donut art

Jeffrey Frazier

Always fresh donuts and the best coffees wow.

Lanora Washington

THE UDON DONUT AND THE CINNAMON ROLL COVERED IN FROSTING, JUST YUMMMY DELICIOUS!

shirley Hernandez

The donuts are good. I well have to say the lady at the front is very unproffessional. She kept flirting with my husband while I was there. I find it pretty flattering but still there should be some kind of respect towards the costumers

Princess Charly

Mouth watering flakey melt in your mouth doughnuts. The selection is out of bounds! They have a beautiful imagination... Coffee galore!! You want it. They offer it... Wow.

Melody Zeissig

Delicious donuts!! The onut is amazing!!!

Nicole Pergament

A forever favorite!! And nothing comes close to their maple bacon jalepeno .

Angelo Montenegro

Good donuts, and great variety, though not as good as SK donuts.

azjuly25

Coffee is fresh and the coffee selection is awesome. About 10 different flavors of it hot and ready any given time .

John Bowden

This by far is one of the Best Donut shop I've been in... 1st The staff was very welcoming.. 2nd so many donuts to choose from and coffee too!!! 3rd I got to meet the owner.. She was the true STAR of the donut shop, nice and very helpful... while waiting on me she gave me the history of the shop.. DK's Donuts & Bakery has been in her family for 38years and she took it over from her parents.. This Donut Shop is amazing and the donuts are truly incredible!!! If you in the city of Santa Monica this is a MUST!!! I had the Best devil's food donut and coffee I've had in a long time...

S. Rogers

my donuts were dry. not sure if they just werent fresh, since I got there mid day. but service was good. a guy jumped in front of me in line, but I dont think it was a customer service issue. The ham and cheese crossiant was good. I need to give it one more chance.

Ajay Veer Singh Chandel

So many varieties of delicious donuts and great customer service.

Michael D

I have to say these are some of the best donuts I've had in my life. I had the chocolate covered cinnamon roll and it was so good I can still taste it! have never had such a selection of unique tasty donuts. Next time I go back there, I'll make sure to take a photo!

Elvira Day

Donuts and coffee are delicious.
