Our Top Pick
Jolly Donuts
Old-school donut shop doubling as a legit boba and Thai iced tea counter, all at prices that feel stuck in a previous decade
Worthy Picks
#1
Jolly Donuts
7.9
An old-school donut shop that quietly runs a full boba and Thai iced tea program alongside the pastry case, with prices that haven't caught up to the neighborhood's rising rents. The dual-format counter works for early-morning breakfast sandwich runs and afternoon boba stops alike, making it a repeatable pit stop rather than a destination. Best approached as a no-fuss, high-frequency habit spot where the value compounds over time.
Must-Try Dishes:
Breakfast Sandwich, Boba, Bagel

#2
Donuts USA
7.8
A family-run Mar Vista donut shop where the croissants are the real draw—buttery, made fresh, and priced at cash-only rates that keep the neighborhood coming back before the morning rush fades. It runs on strip-mall simplicity: park in the free lot, order at the counter, and walk out with a breakfast sandwich that costs less than a coffee elsewhere. The kind of place that earns repeat visits through no-frills reliability rather than reinvention.
Must-Try Dishes:
Butter Croissant, Ham and Cheese Croissant, Cinnamon Roll
What Makes it Special: Family-run Mar Vista donut shop known for its buttery, made-fresh croissants and old-school breakfast sandwiches at cash-only prices
