10 Best Doughnuts in Los Angeles
 |
| The Old-Fashioned and chocolate cake doughnut at Ms. Donuts |
In the Echo Park/Silver Lake area, you could do a lot worse than this old-fashioned shop, especially when the line at Taco Zone is too long and you need some late night sustenance. The maple bar was a little on the dry side, but the chocolate was the exact opposite -- in a good way -- with a texture that suggested it could have been cooked about 30 seconds longer, but we were glad it wasn't. The Old-Fashioned doughnut is also a winner here, with glaze so thick it softly crunches as you eat it. 1353 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles; 213-484-0927.
6. BabyCakes:
Coconut doughnut from BabyCakes
The doughnuts at BabyCakes (and actually everything else at BabyCakes) are vegan, kosher, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free and sans refined sugar. In other words, any sane pastry-lover's nightmare. Or so you would think, but once you try one of its baked-not-fried doughnut varieties, the last thing on your mind will be anything its lacking. What you'll taste instead is delicious gooey sweetness, along with a hint of lemon added for brightness. The salted caramel doughnut, though a mess of dense cake and sticky sauce, is really the best, but the coconut is also worth a try, since its flavor is mild enough for any non-coconut fan to get behind. 236 N. Larchmont Blvd., Los Angeles; 855-462-2292.
5. Bob's Coffee and Doughnuts:
Maple bar from Bob's
Bob's has a vintage feel, as it should, since it's located in the Original L.A. Farmers Market. And while not quite as old as the market itself, it's been flinging outstanding little circular treats since 1970. Fitting to the ambiance, Bob's has plenty of classic doughnuts, like the bear claw, the apple fritter and almighty glazed, but it's not so set in its ways, shaking it up with a few new-school varieties like Nutella. The maple was our favorite, even among its many worthy competitors in town, perhaps because it came with the bonus of alfresco dining. Or maybe just because it was perfectly chewy and delicious. 6333 W. Third St., #450, Los Angeles; 323-933-8929.
