Liked all the donuts I tried here but the thing about this place is that I usually don’t like filled donuts but thissss one hit different. The jam was very good - definitely fresh & not too sweet. I was surprised I liked it.Also the dough in the Crumb Donut was perrrfect ☁️

Interesting flavors & really nice employees. However, I thought the donuts were decent but not to the caliber of the other more notable LA donut shops. check it out if you want some unique varieties. Go early as I went in afternoon and there were limited options.

Let’s face it, the LA area is FILLED with donut shops and it’s often tough to figure out if you are getting something unique and home made or something defrosted. Well Kettle Glazed is legit - they are tasty and have some yummy unique options. Service was great and also very quick. Prices are in line with the quality of the donuts and their iced tea was great as well. Hope I can come back on my next visit to LA!

Slacking on the social distancing monitoring and enforcement.Apple fritter was very light on the apple.Vanilla cinnamon twist was nice. A subtle cinnamon roll flavor. Would have liked a touch more cinnamon.Donut holes were the family fav.Parking is limited.Park in the aisle facing the alley for an easier get away.

Best donuts ever. I like their Arnold palmer drink and the chocolate peanut. That is my usual. I just ate the Smores donut. It was delicious I recommend the kettle.

Im not gonna lie, its just normal. None of their doughnuts are bad at all, but its not like its any better than Yum Yum, or Randys . I would go again, but I wouldnt go out of my way .

We got the strawberry rhubarb, the vanilla filled croissant doughnut, the cinnamon twist, the ube and the cruffin (a muffin doughnut). The strawberry rhubarb was a cronut with a slightly sweet and tary jam inside. The vanilla cronut was filled with french vanilla thin pudding. The ube was if you took ube chips and turned them into a donut. The cruffin was a mini monkey bread. And the cinnamon twist was a small cinnamon roll in twist form. Very good donuts but not worth the 30 min drive.

I have personally always favored the chocolate w/ sprinkles. But the DO DOTS that are 🔥🔥🔥. At a quarter a DOT, you can’t go wrong with some bite sized cinnamon donut holes

Honest to goodness the best donuts in LA and fantastic smooth coffee. Theres a lot of debate on donuts in this city but I have and will loudly proclaim that they are the best. Get the fluffernutter.

Solid doughnut showing. Ube was great, fritters, old fashioned blueberry, vanilla glazed, crumb, all did not disappoint. Also the chai latte actually had some spiciness which I appreciate.

This place is A all around only thing that keeps it fork A+ is the hours are wrong. It opens at 7am NOT 6am like the listing. I waited for 20 mins

Very delicious fresh doughnuts in a small boutique. I would highly recommend this to many of you as long as their drinks. Prices were appropriate and the staff were friendly. The place was mostly clean but the tables could use a little more elbow grease as well as cleaning up after previous guests.

Review №16

3 stars is Its okay and thats how I felt, but Im giving it 4 stars (I liked it) because the employee asked if I wanted my Arnold palmer more towards tea or lemonade. NO ONE ever asks that EVER. Bless them.Im not much for sweets. My daughter wanted to eat a bacon covered donut which is surprisingly hard to come by when you look at donut places on google but they had a maple log with a strip of bacon on it. A low bar for bacon covered but ayyyy whatcha gonna do.The selection feels basic but it gets the job done.

My first visit at this store after reviewing the feedback online. It was much better than I expected in terms of quality, customer service, presentation, and cleanness. I will go back there again!

Review №22

The best donuts in town. The worst customer service. Why dont people understand that when you work in hospitality you have a responsibility to the customer to give them service and if your any good at what you do, you naturally want to make that persons day or at least serve them with a smile. Maybe it was just an off day ...but that was just about the most un friendliest service Ive had in a while. Both girls at the counter were to be flat out honest. Rude. Its a shame because I really like the donuts. Unfortunately not that much. This is LA and there is a hundred more donut shops to explore.

Review №23

The 2 stars are for the POOR customer service.I asked for donuts and she put one on another as she didnt care at all. I was bringing breakfast to someone and I had to have donuts like that.I asked for a small coffee and coffee refill and she forgot the coffee cup... I had to remind her that I ordered a small coffee as well.If you cannot be nice and energetic with customers, you shouldnt work in customer service

This was my first visit to this location and they were closing for the day.I had just made and ordered one donut just to taste.The flavor and texture of the donut was so good I almost caved-in and bought another one.But I decided to stay disciplined.Theyre located inside a mini shopping area and parking is limited.

Really good Donuts! I stop there for donuts 🍩 only!!!Can’t say the same about the latte. I asked the barista few times not to overheat the milk, and I’ve got it burning hot, regardless. “Burned” milk for latte destroys the drink. 😕

Review №35

The doughnuts speak for themselves. A little better tasting than anything in town and also some how magically healthier, Kettle Glazed had a local following that is already loyal and ripe for franchise. The only problem being that they sometimes dont have that favorite donut that you came in for. .

Ive cronuts at various spots in Los Angeles and still believe this place has the best one around. I feel that even the bakery at the Grove thats owned by the guy who invented the cronut isnt as good as this place.Its not heavy, not overly sweet, and just the right flakiness, they also have several other donuts which are all really good too like the maple bacon bar and apple fritters. Just try it.

Review №56

Ive been going to this location for donuts for 33 years. It began when it was still Alex Donut and they were the best donuts in town when they were open. Kettle Glazed Doughnuts has continued the tradition of offering the best donuts in L.A. period. The staff also is friendly and helpful just as before. Thank you to the new owners for continuing the great service and quality all the while adding a new spin on things.

Overall 4.5 stars.We are on the constant search for the best donuts. I would place Kettle Glazed up there.Our favorites were blueberry vanilla, blueberry lemon, maple vanilla, blueberry cruffin, vanilla bean. I will advise that these donuts are sweet. On a 9.9/10 sweetness scale. Just dont eat too many or else youll feel sick from the sugar rush. I definitely see myself coming back.

Review №61

I loveeeee this place! They usually have only two vegan options at a time but I don’t mind not having a huge selection. The price is unbelievable ... a vegan donut for under $2! What?! Finally a place that doesn’t overprice simply bc they can w the vagabond label. Not to mention the donuts are delicious and fresh!!!

Review №62

Donuts are awesome, but customer service is even better! Our 4 yr old was having a meltdown and wanting a very specific donut (with white frosting and sprinkles- of course). The sweet lady popped in to the back and made him exactly what he wanted, without even being asked. So impressed (and thankful)!

Quarantine- a time to eat as much food as possible. Our household is split at the seams for donuts because one of us is gluten free (spoiler alert, it’s me). I found Kettle on google then was thrilled to see delivery on Postmates. I called them to see what kind of gluten free donuts they had left, and the person that answered was so upbeat and kind. Told me that there was apple & chocolate left. I bought them all. Within 30 minutes donuts were left at the front door. We obviously wiped the box with Clorox wipes (you know, the times) and we dug in. Heres what we learnedGlazed Donut 6/10 - not the best we’ve ever had but good texture. Madison thought it was a little dry. Christina did not. They did however, agree on the 6/10.Chocolate Long John 8/10 - buttery af and good eats for sure. But the chocolate was not the BEST chocolate Madison and Christina have ever had. Still, it’s gone. Eaten with pleasure.Croissant Cinnamon Donut 10/10 - one word: wow. “This is like eating a perfectly cooked churro filled with that cream that they fill churros with.” Exact quote from Madison. Christina couldn’t speak after eating. Just rated a 10/10. Highly recommend.GLUTEN FREE DONUTS: If you’re gluten free, get any you can. The chocolate one tasted like a little Debbie cake but better. The texture was to die for. I loved every second. I won’t even let Madison and christina try the second apple one I got. It’s incredible. Filled with perfectly cooked tiny apples.3/3 women between the age of 25-30 would recommend this place.

Walked by late at night one time, and saw through the window, some dude working away on his own in the kitchen ... baking and doing donut prep things etc etc etc looked really cool, Like a real bakery, they work through the night!!!Now, I dont usually eat sweets/cakes ... but The sight compelled me to go and pick some donuts up... A couple of weeks later I went, and now every time I make the drive out of town to see my family, I stop there first to grab a coffee, an apple fritter and a couple of glazed beauties for the road :D

Review №82

Their croissant/donut combo (other name is trademarked) is like nothing Ive ever tasted before. It practically melts in your mouth. Im just glad they dont sell them by the dozen cause I would have to buy and eat them...by myself. Yes, theyre that good you just dont want to share...The staff are always kind, helpful, and seemingly happy to work there which makes the experience of going always a pleasure...I would give them 5 stars if they would expand their business to the san Fernando valley where I live....because of the location and the limited parking I have to give the place 4 stars but worth the trip if youre nearby.

I almost gave this place one star because of how much weight I’ve gained from eating so many delicious donuts, but it’s not their fault. This is, hands down, the best donut spot in Los Angeles. Staff is friendly, donuts are incredible— get the s’mores one or the chocolate long one.Also, read the bad reviews carefully. They’re snotty Hollywood type people complaining because they’re miserable having to wait two minutes for donuts. I live down the street, this place rules.
