Sputnuts Donuts

Spudnuts is the local favorite in the West Adams/Figueroa Corridor. Both locals and USC students frequent this place. I recommend the croissant breakfast sandwiches and the cinnamon buns, but you can't lose no matter what you order. The prices are more than fair. Be patient with the staff. This place often has online orders coming in on top of the in person customers.

Pay wit your face delicious to describe that nut we call Spud

Been here many many times, usually late at night after a night out. This place is kind of integral to USC culture and has a great and tasty selection of donuts and sandwiches. The staff, although usually stressed (very few people work there at a time), is helpful and kind.

Best taro milk teas ever better than cup o’ joy or any other boba place near it, and at a cheap price too. The donuts are pretty great my favorite is the one with fruity pebbles and white glaze on top. Great choice to get a late snack!

Great place with super friendly staff. Most places give you a couple slices of bacon on a sandwich, these guys load you up. Plus the ham and cheese croissant was awesome. Will definitely be back.

Praise YAHUAH the LORD and His Son Yahusha HaMashiach Messiah Jesus Christ and the Ruach HaKodesh Holy Spirit!!!! Great donut, I had 3 different kinds, chocolate twist, crumb round and a chocolate round cake with peanuts. All were excellent and bought around 2am. If I ever bring donuts In for work this is where to raise a dozen eyebrows at the sign in desk. Reasonably priced for the quality and availability 24/7/52/365

Great donuts, the potato flour makes them feel slightly more substantial compared to regular donuts imo. They also have a large variety of food and beverages/smoothies. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. Highly recommend.

Super delicious and great variety of donuts and other baked goods! I've enjoyed every single donut I've tried from here. They have some yummy smoothies, too. The location is very clean and a bit small, so it can get really full and busy at peak hours. But it makes sense because the donuts are so good. :) It's very popular among USC students and locals. The employees are very nice and efficient. I'll definitely be returning. Plenty of vegetarian options. Not sure about other dietary restrictions, but if you ask the employees they will likely inform you.

Spudnuts half dozen variety - 5 🌟! I ventured towards USC to find the closest Spudnuts. They seem pretty locked into a traditional donut style with a great variety of yeast, cake donuts and cronuts. It was pretty busy when I went which is a nice sign. The donuts were all tasty. They had great dough, the yeast style being my preference. Any time I go to a new donut place I always get a classic glazed raised donut and theirs was especially good. Their menu has a lot of other options like beverages and breakfast sandwiches but when donut is in the name, that's what I'll try first every time.

This place is growing on me! Recommended by a friend, I got hooked on their breakfast sandwiches. Finally got around to trying the cronut and now it's my new favorite item. The Maple Bacon is just sinfully good. I love that they will warm it for you too. I have yet to try the other selections because I'm obsessed with the cronuts 😅

As a Canadian, Timmy’s will always be better than any donut shop ever, but this is pretty good too.

Freshly made and the donut tastes really good. Flavorful but not too sweet. The staff is polite and helpful.

yum. all i can say is that i am SO happy that this is open 24/7. there was a homeless man who came in asking for food and was really pushy about it… but that wasn’t the managements fault and it ended up working out! the donuts are 😍😍 and hit the spot every time.

A few months I had gotten a donut here and when I got back home I had a seizure. According to the EMTs they stated I kept asking for my donut and started crying because I couldn't eat. If that doesn't tell you how good these donuts are, I'm not sure what will LMAO. The old fashioned chocolate glazed donut is so good.

Phenomenal experience at Spudnuts with Terri - they were so considerate and understanding with my Too Good to Go order. Definitely a brand that is sustainably considering food…

Delicious donuts! As a customer I'm glad I came across to this Donut shop, I sometimes pick up Uber Orders from here and that way I discovered them but I'm glad I did an yes I will recommend to everyone, 5 stars from me!

I don’t work around this area anymore but now that I live an hour away, I think of this place all the time and crave it. If you see this place on your way it’s super worth it. Especially their sparkling drinks and ice cream donut sandwiches.

Delicious donuts, croissants and pastries. Good coffee too and plenty of parking. Sometimes there are homeless people hanging around in front, which detracts a bit for me as I am alone in the early morning hours and dont like being harrassed for money, but it's not too bad. We expect in LA these days anyways. The Donuts are tasty so I'll still go.

This is my goto sweet food place. The donuts here are super tasty and inexpensive. The shakes and the juices are even better. Eventhough it is called spudnuts donuts,the sandwiches you get here are really good too. This place is 24 hrs open, therefore late in the night snack or early in the morning breakfast can be done over here. The service is fast and friendly too.

Spudnuts is a good donut place. Their kronut and normal donuts are very good. The food that they sell is good as well. They are located close to USC and often sell day old donuts at very deep discounts. I would recommend it if you are looking for a donut shop.

They have a wide selection of donuts and offer sandwiches as well. They've been adding more technology to facilitate ordering. Donuts are good, and they are family owned. The sandwich I had was ok, but it did fill me up. They have a selection of smoothies that seem to be popular.

Pretty good donuts, light on the sugar so you can really enjoy the other flavors like this raspberry filled one I had.

Out of the myriad of donut shops in LA that I've tried, this is the only one that's decent. Not too sweet, good consistency, proper proportions for a passable product. Not the greatest donuts I've ever had, but they beat most of the competition by a mile.

A friend suggested this place and told me they use potato flour on their donuts. The place was clean and well maintained. I tried their ham & cheese croissant and their glazed cronut. The ham & cheese croissant was surprisingly well made. It was soft and fluffy. Not as crusty as the usual donut shop croissant so when you bite on it no crust pieces fall on you. The slices ham inside was thick and meaty. One of the best ham and cheese croissant I've had. Great value for only $3.50. The cronut was not the best I've had but tasted pretty good. A bit too sweet for my liking. 0Compared to other cronuts this was more like a pseudo cronut. The lower base part was more like a donut dough. It barely had the thin fluffy layers of a cronut. It had a good amount of glaze icing. Still not bad for the price which was only $2.50 The accepts debit/credit which was a pleasant surprise. Usually donut places only take cash. The people working there were very friendly and accomodating. You can tell they were smiling even with a mask on. Has decent amount of parking. Although it gets busy depending on the time of day. I went in the morning and there were already a few cars parked.

Always open! Incredibly a life saver for when you're hunrgy and need donuts or a fresh sandwhich. Awesome place and the prices are great. They can get a little busy late at night.

The strawberry filled cronut was way too sweet. I recommend getting the regular cronuts or donuts. The sandwich was very good though.

Took 15 min to get a dozen glazed and a dozen chocolates. A smaller mom and pop would have been a better choice and I wouldn’t have been late to work

I was overall okay with this place. If you have read my other reviews you would know that I am a nationally renowned donut reviewer. I am above the top 10% of donor reviews on Google maps. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to reviewing donuts. I have sampled Donuts from far and wide across the country at every level of sophistication. I tend to prefer the simpler fare which I would say spudnuts belongs to. I purchased two Donuts via the kiosk in the store. I was disappointed that using the kiosks was basically pointless and that people who chose to just order directly from the staff were served much quicker. I purchased a glazed donut which was quite good. The yeast of the donut was not overpowering or nullifying to its flavor and the amount of glaze was I would say just about right. I also got a Boston cream which I unfortunately cannot speak as highly of. Wow its ingredients seem to be a fine quality, the construction was lacking in the donut fissured half way through before I even had a chance to bite into the cream. The glazed donuts performance carried this restaurant into the positive territory but I would say it ranks closer to the bottom of my reviews of California based Donut shoppes.

Just stopped in to try the milkshakes. Overpriced and truly uninspired. More like an iced milk - and for $8, not impressed

The donuts are just classic stuff with funky toppings, the cronuts not flaky and chewy, rushed service.

Staff curtly told me that they had no idea if donuts were gluten free. Concept of store seems to be focused on using potato starch instead of wheat, so I was very surprised. If someone could verify that it's safe for people with allergies like me to eat, I'd love to try, but for now, not about to gamble my life over a donut.

These doughnut's are awful stale not fresh tasting over priced. I will never go back. Doughnut's in the morning should have a taste of freshness because they were just made. Not these hard to swallow things wish I could have my money back.

Female employee with blonde hair has an attitude and is being difficult for no reason. She cannot follow simple instructions that shouldn’t be too hard, at least you would think. I’m not sure if she’s just having a bad day but personal problems should not be taken to work. It’s too early to deal with her bad attitude and it’s highly suggested that this employee go through extensive re-training on what good customer service is supposed to look like because her behavior is unacceptable.

Of this place was not in the close proximity of U.S.C & students desperate for anything? They would be closed. Horrible atmosphere, thee worst customer service. Donuts looked as though they had been sitting all day. I felt like I was in " Another- Country" with the worst customer service.

Disappointing I ordered doughnuts off door dash after ordering once I received a completely different order the doughnuts were horrible this time and I received items I’m allergic to door dash refused to compensate for my order so I was left unsatisfactory. 5 incorrect items not a small mistake. Think about taking legal actions as the doughnut holes I ate had coconut pieces on them . 0 stars if it’s an option

I’ve gotten donuts from this place many times and never had a bad experience..until today. I bought a half dozen and everything looked normal. My family and I felt sick after and had full diarrhea. We didn’t notice at first, the donuts had white furry mold on the inside because it’s more visible on the chocolate ones.

ordered 2 donuts from this place. i don’t understand why they put them together in the same bag on a hot day 🤦🏻‍♂️ the 2 donuts melted together & look absolutely disgusting. not to mention the bag was SUPER greasy. very disappointing experience & one of the worst donut shops i’ve ever been to

Sandwichs are good and cheap. But I will not be returning. Not because of food but service. Got the wrong order and didnt find out until back in the office. Mistakes happen. I called and they already knew. The problem I have is you making me return the sandwich like proof. You already know you made a mistake. Nobody is trying to steal a $7 sandwich, besides you see me at least 3 times a week. So now I have to hold on to a sandwich for a couple hours until I can take break again, drive over just to get my sandwich. Then before giving my sandwich I have already paid for you ask for the sandwich. Heck, you could have even let me give it to the guy outside asking for food. Thats the off-putting part.

It is the worst service I have had in a donut shop, apart from the bad taste they serve them hot without asking for it and they still get angry because you complain, the price is high for some So ugly and tasteless, I think the donuts from any random place taste better. I wouldn't even recommend it for drinks. The cups are of poor quality, and the coffee is cheap garbage.

Hate to be that person, but they had the wrong bread listed on their website. When I came in, all they had was white bread. 🤷‍♀️
