Los Angeles Donut FAQ
Are these holiday spots ranked?
No. Every donut shop and bakery here is one we would happily send a friend to, so we list them by neighborhood instead of ranking them.
When can I find these holiday treats?
Most holiday specials appear from late November through the New Year, and many bakeries take pre-orders for pies, stollen and cookie boxes. Menus change every season, so check each shop's site or social before you go.
Can I taste some of these on a tour?
Yes. Our West LA & Original Farmers Market Holiday Donut Tour visits Truman's Bakery, Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee and Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts, finishing at the Original Farmers Market next to the festive Grove.
