Miss Donuts
7.9
A cash-only, 4 AM donut shop on Robertson that bakes everything in-house daily—apple fritters and glazed donuts move fast for a reason. The format is pure counter service with zero pretense, built for the early-morning crowd that wants warm, freshly made pastry without waiting or overpaying. Bring cash or use the ATM inside; the small back lot usually has a spot.

Dietary Options
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No - this is a casual, no-frills donut shop with a snug, counter-service setup. The atmosphere is friendly but utilitarian, not romantic. Better suited for a low-key morning coffee run together than an intentional date setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - this is a walk-in-only donut shop with no reservation system. Seating is limited but turnover is fast since most customers grab and go. Opens at 4 AM, so early birds will have no trouble. Note: cash only (ATM available inside).
Is it kid-friendly? Yes - the casual, laid-back atmosphere is well-suited for kids. Donuts, smoothies, and breakfast sandwiches are all kid-approved options. No formal kids menu, but the food is inherently kid-friendly. Quick in-and-out visits work well with young children.
Is it good for groups? Difficult for large groups - this is a small, snug shop with limited seating. A group of 3-4 could manage, but anything larger would be a tight squeeze. For bigger groups, ordering a box of donuts to-go and eating elsewhere is the better move. Parking is available in the back.
Is there outdoor seating? Not confirmed - sources conflict on whether outdoor seating is currently available. The shop is small with limited indoor seating. Call (310) 253-9925 to confirm current outdoor seating availability before visiting.
