Today's going to be a day because Jackie's eating nothing
but sugar all day. So that could only mean one thing.
Whoo! Amazing.
My brain is not functioning.
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Delish. It's Jackie.
And guess what?
We're back at it again with another LA food tour
and this time it's all about...
(drum roll)
Donuts
Donuts, donuts.
It's that food that never disappoints.
What is a donut for?
Breakfast?
Or is it dessert?
Or is it a snack? Or is it just one of those things that
cannot be defined? Anyway, you guys know the drill by now,
I go to the best spots in LA and I'm going to rate all
these donuts on a scale from 1 to 10.
This is a no-brainer, their donuts get 10 out of 10.
This is phenomenal.
Now donuts are a little tricky when it comes to rating them
because honestly, donuts are fantastic.
You really can't go wrong... Well you can,
but it's hard to go wrong with a donut, right?
So I'm going to be rating these on, are they delicious?
Do they make me happy? And are they unique?
All right. It's time to go eat some donuts.
(upbeat music)
All right, all right, all right.
Our very first donut of the day,
or shall I say donuts? Because I have
so many!
Dream Donut Truck was so generous.
Their donut truck has so many different donuts to offer.
They're known for their little LA inspired donuts,
which is really cute. Go Dodgers.
But what we're going to be trying today is their chocolate
maple bacon donut.
Let me repeat that,
chocolate
maple bacon
donut.
Oh boy. I'm going to be in trouble.
Today is going to be a day. This donut looks so fluffy.
It looks thick. It looks decadent and it looks
insane.
So let's go ahead and take a bite and I wanna make sure I
get the chocolate, the maple, and the bacon.
And the donut of course.
I just wanted to start singing hallelujah.
(hallelujah plays)
Holy hell. Listen, this donut is fresh and this reminds me
of Texas because it's over the top.
They spared no ingredients. When it came to this.
Now the bacon itself is like the perfect cooked bacon.
It's not too crispy is not too soggy.
It's like right there in between.
And it's delicious. It's a nice balance.
You got that saltiness from the bacon,
the sweet from the chocolate and the maple.
And then you got a fresh donut.
I did want to show one more donut.
Apparently this donut, has an entire snicker in it.
And you know, I just feel like they were super ambitious
with that one and kudos to them for doing that.
So let's go ahead and open it up and see what the inside of
this looks like.
Oh
That aint right. Oh my God.
Dream Donut Truck. The experience was awesome.
I love that it was a donut truck.
You could walk up, get your donuts.
They also have a variety of different donuts.
And I also love that they pushed the envelope,
a snickered stuff donut.
A snickers stuff donut.
Also all their donuts were super fresh.
All in all my entire experience at Donut Truck,
I have to give it 9 donuts out of 10.
And it was my first donuts spot of the day.
This is incredible. Love it.
Let's go on to the next.
(upbeat music)
The next stop is Colorado Donuts,
which is in Eagle Rock, California.
Another donut shop
that has a variety
of donuts.
I picked their blueberry crumble cheesecake.
The ube donut was first seen out in LA at DK donuts,
but now everybody has them.
And I had to get Elmo because I mean, come on,
does that make you smile?
I love that Colorado Donuts do have vegan options and I got
their cinnamon crumble for that.
Okay. Little bites.
Cause we got four donuts here. First,
I'm going to go in for their vegan donut because if you
can master a vegan donut, kudos to you.
I love cinnamon, so I had to go for a cinnamon crumble.
Donut Friend, however, their vegan donuts are
out of this world, so.
But it's nice to know if you come here,
there, there's those options. Look at that.
It has blueberries on it, crumble on it.
It's a lot. So let's go ahead and try that.
Oh my God.
These donuts are not right.
That is really sweet and really good.
If you love blueberries, this is a definitely a good option.
Okay, and then I have to try their ube donut of course.
What I love about the ube donuts is that they're purple.
They're so bright and colorful,
which I love. Okay, let's try that.
Everything is so good! I'm gonna die today.
And so all in all, as far as variety,
they have so many different donuts.
I love that they have vegan options.
Their donuts are clearly fresh and made to order. And then,
I mean, come on for the children.
Um, I'm going to have to rate Colorado Donuts
an 8 out of 10 donuts.
Solid, there's variety and they're fresh.
And they make me happy. Today is good.
(upbeat music)
The next shop is Donut friend, which have
the best vegan donuts in Los Angeles, hands down,
no dispute. And they do indeed taste like regular donuts.
I went ahead and went with the youth brulee,
which is a creme brulee donut.
Let's do a little ASMR. Shall we?
(fingernails tapping)
(chuckles)
Okay, all right. So there's Bavarian creme
on the inside here, and then as you guys can see,
this sugar was bruleed on top.
Let's go and give it a try.
Wow.
I really love the texture of the brulee.
That little bit of crunch on top because you know what,
when you really think about it,
you don't get a lot of different textures when it comes to
donuts, right?
You never get something with this kind of texture,
which elevates the donut. I also got their green tea donut.
At Donut Friend they have these really cool,
unique names named after rock bands.
But this one is green Teagan and Sara,
it has a matcha tea glaze
and black sesame seeds on top.
So let's go ahead and give it, a try.
I don't know, how they make their donuts so airy and fluffy.
You can just have all their donuts together and just take a
little nap on them. This is a no brainer.
Their donuts get 10 out of 10. Their names are dope.
Their flavors are dope. They're vegan.
One of the best donut shops in LA, hands down.
(upbeat music)
So what the Donut Man is known for is their fresh glaze
donuts stuffed with fresh strawberries.
Each and every strawberry that they have is handpicked.
And look at this y'all is about to get messy.
Strawberries are falling, strawberry down.
I have to keep this in the box because chances are,
if I don't this car's going to be a mess. And let's just see
how fresh west coast strawberries with this glaze donut
really taste. Here we go.
Oh my God.
This is phenomenal. The glaze donut.
Soft,
perfect.
And low key, I feel a little healthy eating it
just cause they're fresh strawberries.
I know this is not healthy, but I'm just saying,
I feel a little good, better eating this.
I'm so happy right now. Okay. Let's rate it.
Whoo!
First of all, that donut was $6. Okay.
That is so expensive for one donut.
But again, they jam pack that glaze donut with really,
really fresh strawberries. So mind you, the donut's $6.
They have so many different donuts over there.
I only picked that one because that's what Donut Man is
known for, is that strawberry donut.
You guys,
10
out of 10.
That was so good. Very happy, onto the next.
(upbeat music)
All right, this next donut shop is definitely an LA staple.
SK donuts is one of the most popular donut shops here in LA.
And what they're known for are their cronuts.
If you don't know what cronuts are, you better get into it.
It's basically a croissant slash donut
with amazing toppings. And it's incredible.
They're also known for their donuts with feelings in them,
fillins. I know y'all get after me, how I say things.
And then what I chose was the Nutella because
I love chocolate, even though it's not chocolate,
but it tastes like chocolate. Anyway,
let's go for this one first because
Nutella is good on bread, Nutella is good on fruit,
Nutella is definitely going to be good, stuffed in a donut.
I tend to not like, donuts with creme in them
because they kind of freak me out. I don't like,
I think that comes from my fear of assorted chocolates that
I don't like. And there's nothing worse than
a jelly filled donut. I'm not a fan of them,
but a Nutella filled.
I will definitely compromise when it comes to that.
Okay, here we go.
I mean,
what is there to say?
Nutella, powdered sugar
in a donut.
It's truly delightful.
Next up
is this
apple
cronut.
Holy...
hell you guys.
This thing is drizzled with caramel and it has apples on top
powder sugar. And then it's a cronut.
I don't even know how I'm supposed to eat this.
I think I'm just going to go.
I'm gonna sandwich it and just go in for the kill.
Here we go.
What did I do
to deserve,
such a wonderful day?
I love a good cronut because I love the flakiness of the
croissant. The apples are fresh.
They're so soft. They're kind of like mush.
They're not hard apples. That was an explosive bite.
That was wonderful. Again, fresh.
And it's also very nice because we've had so many different
types of donuts today was really nice to switch it up and
have a cronut and also a filled donut,
a donut filled one. SK donuts,
10 out of 10.
Fantastic. Nothing's wrong.
Again, variety is great.
The donuts are fresh. You're going to get,
you can choose whatever you want and they have cronuts.
(upbeat music)
Our final destination of the day is Mochinut in Melrose.
Melrose is known for having a lot of clothing shops,
some bougie places and some very unique places.
And Mochinut is definitely very unique.
They're actually known for their Korean hot dogs
and they have
mochi
donuts.
As someone who is a texture girl
slash texture queen, I have a feeling I'm
really going to love these just based off
of the texture alone.
I chose the Kit-Kat one because I really love Kit-Kats.
It's one of my favorite chocolate,
but they also have different flavors like this fruity pebble
one. Here we go. Let's break it open.
It's nice and fluffy on the inside. You see.
We've got a lot of different textures today, right?
The croissant, flaky. Most of the standard donuts,
airy and fluffy.
And now we're ending the day with something chewy.
It's not over the top. Right?
All the donuts that we've had today have been a little over
the top with like crazy, crazy toppings.
This one was pretty standard.
Just a little piece of Kit-Kat.
Now I'm kind of interested to try this fruity pebble one.
Let's try that one.
I love that you could break that apart. It's so easy to eat.
If you wanted to share this with somebody,
you could just break off a bunch of little donut holes and
kind of disperse it.
I don't know what I'm saying at this point. Anyway,
let's try this one.
Well, it's definitely more sweet and vibrant
because of the fruity pebbles on there.
But again, that texture is on point. And while you're there,
If you want a Korean cheese dog,
I definitely recommend you trying it.
You know, I'm a classic, classic donut girl,
so I would have to rate that
maybe a 7.5.
But if you love Mochidonuts,
then you probably would rate it a hider, higher.
First of all, it made me happy.
I love that. It was simple. And it was like,
when you go there and you don't have way too many choices,
most of the time when you go into donut shops,
you have a huge variety to pick from. I like that
it's kind of like they have maybe 10 donuts with
different toppings and you just choose, which I loved.
I loved the texture that it was super chewy.
I know I have done
a best ice cream in LA.
And I think I went to 10 spots that day.
And I didn't feel that crazy.
And I didn't feel like I was crashing off of sugar.
I've only been to 6 places today and I feel a little, crazy.
Any who? Those were some of the best donut shops in LA
via Yelp, via you guys on Instagram,
and via very popular food
websites. Obviously there's a lot more,
I've actually been to a lot of other donut places that I
think are just as great,
but y'all I can't eat that many donuts.
If I miss any of your favorite donut shops,
please let me know in the comments below.
Which was my favorite donut of the day?
And can I remember that far back?
Because today was an adventure.
My favorite donut of the day, it's a toss up
it's between two.
Was from Dreams Donut Truck,
that snicker donut, just because I think it just shocked me
and surprised me that they managed to put a whole
snicker bar into a donut.
That aint right. Oh my God.
And the textures and the flavors were incredible.
And I have to say my favorite of the day was definitely
Donut Man's strawberry donut,
I think because you can totally tell that they put so much
time and energy into that donut. It was really good.
I couldn't put it down and I wanted to keep taking bites
of it. So I'd have to say that was my favorite of the day.
That's it. That's all I got for you guys.
I'm going to probably go home and...
die.
You might not see me again. I'm not going to,
I shouldn't say that. Knock on,
there's no wood in here, but whatever.
Anyway. See, I can't even, my brain is not functioning.
That's it! That's it. That's all.
Thank you for joining me on another LA food tour.
I hope we could do more of these.
Where should I go next? What should I do?
Bye.
