Master Critic Review
Diamond Donuts
7.8
An old-school Del Rey donut shop where the oversized croissant breakfast sandwiches pull more weight than the donuts themselves, all at prices that barely register. It runs on early-morning regulars who know the counter routine and don't need a menu — the kind of neighborhood spot that survives on repeat visits and word of mouth, not signage.
Must-Try Dishes:
Croissant Breakfast Sandwich, Glazed Donuts, Croissants

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No - this is a casual counter-service donut shop with a no-frills neighborhood vibe. Great for a low-key coffee-and-donuts meetup, but there's no romantic ambiance, intimate lighting, or table service. If you're looking for something relaxed and unpretentious for an early getting-to-know-you hangout, it could work, but it's not a date-night destination.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - this is a walk-in, counter-service shop. No reservations needed or accepted. Order at the counter and grab a seat. It opens early (around 5am) and is busiest in the morning rush, but you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes - it's a casual donut shop, so the atmosphere is inherently relaxed and welcoming for families with kids of any age. Donuts are an easy crowd-pleaser for children. Specific kids menu or high chairs are not confirmed online - call ahead if you need a high chair.
Is it good for groups? Limited - this is a small neighborhood donut shop with modest seating. Fine for a group of 3-4 grabbing donuts and coffee, but not set up for large parties. No private rooms or large tables. For bigger groups, consider ordering a dozen or two to go instead.
Is there outdoor seating? Not confirmed - no outdoor seating is mentioned in available information. The shop sits on a corner near a busy intersection, so dedicated patio space is unlikely. Call to confirm if outdoor seating matters to you.
