Donut Friend - Highland Park - Dessert, Ice Cream, Coffee & More
5107 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Donut Friend is a Highland Park favorite where fluffy, inventive donuts steal the show, from their cult-favorite maple old fashioned to creative seasonal flavors like the strawberry lab—and everything here happens to be completely vegan without tasting like a compromise. The warm, welcoming vibe makes it perfect for a quick pastry grab or lingering over coffee with family, though fair warning that these quality donuts come with quality prices. Locals have been loyalists since day one, and once you taste their fresh, perfectly iced creations, it's easy to see why the lines keep coming back.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Loved the strawberry lab donut! The donuts are so delicious and this location also has a few ice cream flavors too. It’s all vegan but you would never be able to tell… At least I couldn’t :)
