A Dozen of L.A.'s Best Donuts in Honor of National Donut Day

With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today during our fall member drive. 

L.A. puts on a front of being a health-obsessed city, but at our core, Angelenos love food. How else could you explain the heated arguments over who procures the perfect gourmet burger? Or the hours spent debating what elements constitute the perfect pizza pie? And don't even get us started on the issue of a perfectly-fried donut. Heck, For Your Art even hosted a 24 Hour Donut City pop-up this year. Lines were out the door into the wee hours of the night.

So in honor of National Donut Day, we bring you a photo gallery of a dozen of LA's best donuts. Wether you're a fan of a traditional plain cake donut from Bob's, or a creamy custard-filled from Stan's, this set is sure to give you hunger pangs. In case they get really bad, we've built you a handy dandy donut map to get you to your nearest fried dough fix. You're welcome.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
