America is the land of the free; where immigrants come from all over the world in hopes to make dreams a reality. Walking into DK Donuts, I found the owner sitting in the corner eating her food staple: porridge for breakfast (yes, not donuts). She was sweet as she told her story of how DK donuts came about: Cambodian-born, endured the hardships of the Khmer Rouge, survived, came to America and opened DK Donuts in 1981.
DONUTS! |
A partial display of their variety |
The donuts are freshly baked and unique. The donut shop was one of the first to offer a version of the cronut to Los Angeles. Their menu is extensive, ranging from the classics to the O-Nuts (cronut) all the way to the Wow-Nuts, a waffle and donut hybrid. The donuts are extremely crisp on the outside, with a moist and delicate interior.

DK Donuts offers freshly made donuts, sometimes made to order if you ask. The variety is pretty overwhelming. Obviously, I didn't try all of them, but it is a goal of mine to do so. There is something for everyone at this shop. Additionally, I'm always a fan of learning how an establishment was conceived and the story of DK Donuts is the epitome of the American dream. All the donuts I've tried have been delish and these decadent breakfast items leave you wanting more. Word of advice: Expect a line, especially if you decide to come on National Donut Day.
