"The pleasantly greasy breakfast sandwich layers partially melted cheese with an omelet on a chewy croissant that can soak up any sins from the day prior - but it's only available until noon. A classic glazed doughnut, with a sheen of icing atop the raised dough, should be in every order. It's sweet without being too saccharine, and a crowd-pleaser if you're getting a dozen for a group and not sure about everyone's preferences."
"The plain buttermilk doughnut is dense and tangy, a much-needed contrast to the more sugary glazed options in any dozen. Tear off a hunk and dunk it into hot coffee for a breakfast of champions. There are a few shops that use the California Donuts moniker, but you're looking for the one on Third Street in Koreatown. Keep an eye on the shop's Instagram for limited-edition collaborations, which sometimes bring free doughnuts."
California Donuts operates 24 hours a day in Koreatown and is a decades-old Cambodian-owned family bakery known for doughnut boxes and late-night availability. The shop offers freshly fried puffy rounds topped with icing, sprinkles, and other toppings, and the backlit pastry case attracts midnight and early-morning customers. Menu highlights include a greasy breakfast sandwich with melted cheese and an omelet on a chewy croissant available until noon, a classic glazed doughnut that is sweet but not overly saccharine, and a dense, tangy plain buttermilk doughnut that pairs well with coffee. The original location sits on Third Street, and limited-edition collaborations sometimes appear on Instagram.
