Joy,
I have no choice at this point but to demand a Westside Doughnut Hunt™.

Fritelli’s in Beverly Hills
Stans in Westwood (peanutbutter doughnuts ::::::drool:::::)
Randy’s in Inglehood (The giant doughnut in the Simpsons is based on this place)
Bob’s Coffee and Doughnuts – Los Angeles Farmers Market
Primo’s Westdale Doughnuts on Sawtelle.

I can’t wait to see your recipe for these cupcake-doughnuts, I have one that we call muffin doughnuts, but they’re still quite cakey even for a doughnut.

There’s a tiny ma and pop doughnut place just down the street from me, they open at 6am and close when they run out. We’ve only managed to get doughnuts there once in the last year, and that one time was at 8am and was very slim pickings! But I miss the apple cider doughnuts from the farm market I worked at when I was younger, made with apple cider that we made right there too. So delicious.

Nooo….the orange colored doughnuts should really be banned! The pink ones too, they’re really kinda gross. I have recently caved and become a fan of the Krispy Kremes, they’re tricky and they done got me!

The best in LA are Stan’s in Westwood and Fritelli’s in Beverly Hills. I have discovered this on many a donut hunt.

[...] are what brought me to this market in the first place, after I read someone’s comment on Joy the Baker’s Great Doughnut Hunt. Obviously, then, they were the first thing I looked for when I arrived. My brother and I got there [...]

I remember living in Pomona in 3rd grade – there was a doughnut shop across the street, catty-corner from an Earl Scheib’s.

Their raised sugar doughnuts were sooo good! Doughnuts just don’t taste like that anymore, and I don’t know if it’s me (cuz I’m so old that back then Earl Scheib only charged $19.95!) or if it’s the doughnuts. I think Danny up above might be right about the doughnut mix…

I think it’s time to try your recipe, even if deep frying is kind of scary!
Thanks for letting us share your doughnuts, even vicariously!

I am so unbelievably psyched to see that I have been to one of these places (Donut Prince!!!) Yay for Doughnut hunts and the infinity that those sweet little rounds represent.
