Crema's Take

“This Seoul-born donut café has captured LA hearts with impossibly soft, cream-filled donuts that strike the perfect balance between indulgence and restraint—their original cream filling is genuinely not overly sweet, which sets them apart in a city saturated with sugar-bomb pastries. Located in Westfield Century City with its own parking and breathing room, Cafe Knotted feels like a whimsical escape rather than another cramped coffee shop, making it equally suited for a quick grab or lingering over coffee with friends. The warm, attentive staff and donut-forward menu have earned them a devoted following, though fair warning: TikTok hype means some visitors come with outsized expectations.”

One of the best donuts in LA—Cafe Knotted Century City nails it! Originally from South Korea, they’re famous for their soft, cream-filled donuts, and now I’m a total fan. Service was fantastic: super welcoming team, helpful with suggestions, and fast even during a busy afternoon. Grabbed two drinks, 8 donuts, and 2 cookies—each one was fresh, pillowy, and bursting with smooth, not-too-sweet cream. The cookies were a tasty bonus too. Delicious all around. Can’t wait to come back!

I really like this place. I always love a good donut. I like where they are located too. They are not on top of other places like some spots are. Staff here is really friendly as well. I would definitely recommend and am coming back!

Whimsical, donut-centric and not overly sweet!! Cafe Knotted is a beloved dessert cafe from Seoul that’s now open in Los Angeles at Westfield Century City and soon in the Arts District. They’re known for its hand-crafted cream-filled donuts, fresh milk cream, and playful design. Handmade daily We tried… Donuts: Pumpkin Spice, Dubai Chocolate (MY FAVE - standout with that extra crunch), Black Sesame, Milk Cream, Roasted Sweet Corn, Biscoff, Tiramisu Cookies: Miso Toffee and Matcha White Chocolate Drinks: Chestnut Tiramisu Latte and Knotted Strawberry Matcha Latte with Cream Top

The overrated reviews from tiktok brought me here and wasn't impressed. The best pastry was the oreo filling and the rest were meh. Nice atmosphere and disappointed at employee who doesn't greet guests as they walk in. Maybe she was sick or in a bad mood but at least acknowledge with a smile. I greeted 2x and was ignored. You would expect above and beyond service from its location but then again its century city. Oct16/1:30pm

Finally, made it to Cafe Knotted & love their donut! I only tried the orginal cream filling and their cream wasn't too sweat at all! Their doughnut was soft enough that keep you want to bite more! Honestly, one was more than enough and price was reasonable! Parking at the mall is free for 1 hour and plenty of time to go to the little cute Cafe!
