Best Donuts in Los Angeles + Los Angeles Donut Tour FAQ

Yes, you walk in LA. Our West LA & Original Farmers Market Donut Tour is a guided walking food tour along West 3rd Street, pairing baked Fonuts, small-batch doughnuts and Farmers Market classics with neighborhood history and the story of how Los Angeles fell for donuts.

Our West LA & Original Farmers Market Donut Tour visits three of Los Angeles's most-loved donut shops along West 3rd Street: Truman's Bakery (home of the baked Fonut), Sidecar Doughnuts, and Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts, a classic inside the historic Original Farmers Market. Along the way you'll hear stories about the neighborhood, the shops and LA's love of donuts.

Every stop has its fans, and every tour brings out new favorites. Guests love the churro, strawberry and vanilla latte Fonuts at Truman's, the huckleberry, butter and salt, maple bacon and fresh old fashioned at Sidecar, and the maple bar, raised glazed and apple fritter at Bob's.

Spring favorites include seasonal berry parfait, strawberry buttermilk and strawberry shortcake. Summer favorites include passion fruit pavlova and Earl Grey citrus. Fall favorites include pumpkin donuts. Winter favorites include holiday apple pie, gingerbread and French toast crunch.
