In a strip mall in Wilshire Center. Decent parking but gets crowded. Good service and a few tables, but this is more of a takeout place. Arguably the best donuts in the city. Really tasty. Great unique variety like cookie butter, taro crunch and cake batter. Haven't been back in a while because I live a lot a lot closer to S&K donuts, only other place in contention for best LA donuts. But I love this place, and I really love their donuts.

This place is small but a great little spot for the standard donuts as well as fun unusual flavors. Also they have great vegan donuts every day. Nice staff too

I love the breakfast sandwiches here, their frappes and donuts are very good. The only down side is the parking lot, it's often reserved with cones for their valet parking which sucks.

I've tried a TON of different donut shops in LA ... but WOW, these were simply flawless. The raised donut was light and airy but perfectly not too sweet. The glazes were unique and dense but not too thick. I ordered the: Peanut butter chocolate, banana, Nutella, Mexican hot chocolate, and pb&j. They also included some free donut holes ! The two standouts were the Mexican hot chocolate and peanut butter chocolate. I will be back !!

3.5 stars. I got a dozen of donuts for 21 something. Pretty reasonably priced place. Donuts were pretty fresh and they still tasted good toward the end of the day. The only thing is that the place has a lingering oil scent.

Assorted half dozen regular donuts / 5! Crafted Donuts is a donut shop in a strip mall on Wilshire in Koreatown. I am a big donut fan and came by to see what Crafted Donuts were like. Short version - excellent! I was in the mood for value for my dollar so I was drawn to the half dozen promotion. They have a great selection of regular donuts including many of my favorites like glazed, maple, and coconut. They also have a tasty selection of fancy/signature donuts. I am going to go back to try some of the fancier options. The donuts I had were all what most folks would consider traditional, fluffy donuts. They are on the larger side and six kept me going for two days. They tasted just as great after two days on my counter as the first day which means they were fresh right from when I ordered. In addition to donuts, they have a nice cafe menu with coffee and tea drinks as well as bagels, sandwiches and more. The people behind the counter were helpful, friendly and patient which I appreciate since I always struggle to pick multiple donuts. They were also very kind. I saw them assist a person who was struggling and came in looking for water. The shop is small and has a few seating options. I like the logo and the simple decor. It is in a strip mall with parking but it seems like it could get a little tricky to find parking at times. If you are looking for a great donut place with a mix of classics and fancy donuts, I recommend Crafted Donuts!

Some of the best donuts in Los Angeles. Crafted is an old school mom and pop shop that has changed hands a few times over the decades. The donuts are high quality, inexpensive, and the staff are genuinely kind. They offer cake and raised donuts in an impressive variety of creative flavors, along with all the classics you could hope to find. On a Saturday at 10am, the case was fully stocked. This shop is small, but the bakery case is massive. A box of 7 donuts only set me back about $15. My favorite of my selections was the classic raised/glazed, which was fluffy, melt in your mouth perfection. All of the raised donuts tasted fresh, with a soft pillowy texture. The various glazes like ube, biscoff, and lemon poppy were all packed with authentic flavors. Even the vegan donut with green tea glaze was tasty. Highly recommended.

Despite the name, I came here for a bagel sandwich when the craving struck hard. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The sandwich hit the spot. They make a fantastic bagel sandwich. Along with my bagel, I got an iced matcha latte which was also delicious. There are a few tables available for seating. It's more of a eat your food and go type of place. The array of donuts which also included gluten-free donuts were beautiful. There were the classic donut flavors in addition to creative ones. It's on my list to stop by and try them one day. Service is great.

A good donut = fresh, soft, fluffy, and not extremely sweet. Crafted donuts were all of that and more! The donuts here were huge and affordable. Not to mention, it looked pleasing to the eyes. I took out one star because I felt a bit deceived. I thought the taro donut had some kind of taro fillings inside. I assumed, so I only blamed myself for not clarifying before buying. The issue was that the glazed part had no taro flavor at all or maybe a very slight taro flavor? I dunno. I couldn't taste any. Like what?!?? Why even call it taro... There were plenty of flavors, but it seemed like the specialty ones were the ones that tend to run out in the afternoon. I wanted the banana cream one. It was out. Overall, it's a good place to grab some affordable fresh donuts. Parking can suck. However, it was better than other shops around that offered no parking at all. Parking was also free.
