Blinkie’s Donuts
3756 W Ave 40, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved LA institution has mastered the art of the classic donut shop, earning loyal devotion for their fresh, generously-topped creations like chocolate-covered cinnamon rolls and black and white donuts that keep people coming back year after year. What truly sets Blinkie's apart is their genuine warmth—they're the kind of place that opens at 5am with sweetly attentive staff ready to fuel your morning, whether you're grabbing a perfectly-packed breakfast croissant for the commute or ordering dozens for celebrations. It's a neighborhood gem that works equally well for a quick solo coffee run, family breakfast, or stocking up for office gatherings.”

Blinkies is amazing 👏. My favorites are chocolate covered cinnamon rolls with chocolate chips, apple fritters and black and white donuts. Everything is always fresh and the staff are always very nice and kind. Been coming here since 1980s in High school. Thank you special shout out to KC she's so sweet.
Stopped by here before work, and yeah, it’s as fabulous as the reviews make it sound. I got myself a breakfast croissant (which was given to me in a little tupper, perfect to take with me!), as well as a donut and coffee. Delicious. I didn’t even feel guilty about it. This place is awesome!
I was having a rough morning trying to find a nice donut shop open at 5am and after a failed attempt elsewhere I found this little gem. I was immediately greeted by the sweetest worker who helped me pick out a dozen donuts for my coworkers and a few for myself. Honestly, it’s the customer service that did it for me. I went from having a rough morning to leaving absolutely happy and with a box of yummy donuts. Added bonus: the packaging is adorable :)
Great local donut shop. Whenever I visit a workplace I like to bring a couple dozen of donuts. Always makes the visit easier. Of course you have to pay the donut tax, in this case one chocolate, one salted caramel and one horchata. The last one was new to me but highly recommended by the friendly staff and it was sublime. Great food and great people. Highly recommend.
Super donut 🍩 place! The Best in the Valley! Every year we order 30 donuts for the Birthday Celebration 🎉 in class. Wonderful service! Tasty donuts 🍩❤️🍩 and amazing breakfast sandwiches! Thank you 😊 Very pleased 😃
