About and visit notes

Introduction / Overview

For anyone in the Southern California region, especially those local to the Westside,

DK's Donuts & Bakery

is far more than just a typical

Donut shop

; it’s a Santa Monica institution. Located prominently on Santa Monica Boulevard, this establishment has cemented its reputation as a must-visit spot, functioning not only as a destination for sweet treats but also as a full-service

Breakfast restaurant

that caters to the demanding, all-day schedule of California life.

DK's Donuts & Bakery

stands out immediately for its sheer variety, boasting a truly impressive and often astonishing selection of offerings. While the traditional and specialty donuts are the primary draw—ranging from timeless classics like the

Famous Glaze Donut

Old Fashioned Donut

to inventive creations like the

Fruity Pebbles Donut

and

Original Ube Purple Crumb Cake Donut

—the menu extends dramatically beyond baked goods. They offer extensive

All Day - Breakfast Sandwiches

, hearty

All Day - Breakfast Burritos

, and a unique array of sandwiches and burgers.

The true hallmark of

DK's Donuts & Bakery

's innovation is the proprietary

DK's Double Decker #ONUTS

. This unique croissant-donut hybrid has achieved viral status, serving as a base for both indulgent sweet versions, such as the

Maple Bacon Onut

and

Cinnamon Nutella Onut

, and surprisingly savory, hearty breakfast sandwiches. Signature items like the

#1 #ONUT Bacon, Egg & Cheese

or the

Turkey, Avocado, Eggs & Cheese #Onut Sandwich

exemplify how the bakery constantly reinvents itself to keep pace with the dynamic Southern California food scene.

The shop is designed for maximum convenience and accessibility, fitting perfectly into the busy lifestyle of Los Angeles. Offering

and expansive menu of specialty lattes, blended drinks, and smoothies, which are essential for fueling long days.

While the vast and sometimes daring menu is a source of amazement and positive reviews, local users should be aware that with such experimentation comes occasional mixed feedback on flavor profiles or value, as noted in customer commentary. However, the overall consensus points to a high-quality, memorable experience that offers tremendous value through its unparalleled selection of donuts and breakfast options.

    An absolutely beautiful and (mostly) yummy selection of donuts that will both amaze your eyes and make your stomach happy. We chose a dozen of some of the most interesting and fun donuts either of us have had and while almost all were amazing, there were a few that were more style over substance which isn’t that surprising. Service was good and helpful and prices were a bit high but worth the quality. The parking lot is a little rough to get a space and we were blocked in while trying to leave while someone else double parked so just be aware!

    When I asked the owner what one of his donuts tasted like and if he thought it was good, he replied and said "I don't eat donuts. I just make them."A cook who won't eat his own food and offer feedback is a cook I don't trust.The oils and flavoring have a very peculiar taste that I did not enjoy at all. I actually thought that the donuts at 7-Eleven next door tasted much better.

    4 assorted donuts / 1 glazed, 1 reese peanut butter, 1 cinnamon sugar o-nut (cronut), 1 nutella strawberry o-nut - 5 ⭐!DK's Donut & Bakery in Santa Monica is an excellent, family-owned 24-hour donut shop and cafe that has been in business for over forty years. They have a mouth-watering selection of fresh donuts, including an impressive assortment of cronut inspired donuts.Their little shop is in a small strip mall in Santa Monica. I had no trouble finding parking right outfront. The shop has a colorful, pink-focused theme. They had an outstanding selection of donuts on display in their glass cases as well as a nice, large menu board offering up all kinds of snacks, drinks, and sandwiches.The four donuts I sampled on my visit to DK's were fantastic. It was honestly a very hard decision. I had to limit myself to four because when I buy donuts, I have very little self control and know I am going to eat them all the same day. Besides, donuts are always best when they are fresh.The strawberry nutella cronut style donut was amazing. Lots of rich, hazelnut spread flavor mixed with strawberry. The plain glazed donut was top notch. I always try to get a plain glaze and use it as a baseline. A great plain glaze donut is always a treat for me. The cinnamon sugar cronut and the peanut butter cup donut were also great.I know there are other "DK" donut places out there. This one is a real treat and I think it is the OG one. If you are in Santa Monica or are passing by, make sure you stop by and support a great local business!

    I mean I’m not sure why there’s even an option to rate service since no one goes to a donut shop for that but okay. Anyway I’ll have to call Gen and Eric out for this review since the donuts tasted like them. Actually, generic is a generous review. I was actually very disappointed. The donut part itself didn’t have a good flavor and honestly reminded me of notebook paper (and yes I have). I gave it two stars for still being edible.

    Amazing donuts, amazing breakfast options, and amazing coffee! The service here is outstanding, friendly and quick. The donut selection can be so unique but every bit as delicious as an old fashion donut! I recommend trying anything that catches your eye as you won't be disappointed! They have so many breakfast options from croissant sandwiches, to bagel sandwiches and even breakfast burritos. My personal favorite is the Max special bagel sandwich. If your in the area, stop by and treat yourself.
