We traveled to the San Gabriel Valley to see if the Donut Man really does make the best donuts in Southern California.
Nestled along the Historic Route 66, Donut Man has been providing the community of Glendora, California delectable donuts since 1972. Even from its unassuming small store front, it’s easy to see how the Donut Man has become a fixture in Southern California. Visitors craving these fluffy and airy circles of dough travel for miles to get their fix. Donut Man is roughly a 30-minute drive from the heart of Los Angeles. Open 24 hours, there’s hardly a time were the line to get these tasty treats isn’t wrap around the store.
Donut Man provides a wide selection of donuts: from the classic raised glazed to the twists of goodness that are the tiger tails. But their most famous is the strawberry filled donuts, bursting with fresh glazed, gigantic strawberries nuzzled in a soft glazed shell. To eat these berry, doughy delights is a life-changing experience. You don’t even mind getting sugary, sticky sweetness all over your face. (Tip: Bring napkins and wet wipes.) In late summer, you can even find a peach filled variation.
Even though there’s not much seating to take in these doughy beauties on the spot, the enticing smell of sugar and yeast might make you not want to wait.
If you live in Southern California or are just visiting, no matter where you’re coming from, the battle that is LA traffic is well worth it for the Donut Man. The dilemma you will have is trying to decide how many donuts to buy!
A small parking lot is located in the rear of the establishment but there is also plenty of street parking nearby. Credit Cards accepted.
Donut Man is located at 915 E Rte 66, Glendora, CA 91740.
Enjoy!
