"In no world does Kettle Glazed Doughnuts in Hollywood compare to most of the shops in this guide when it comes to traditional donuts. But that hardly matters when you walk into this strip mall spot directly off the 101, because their specialty options are superb. The tart lemon-glazed ring is filled with just enough sweet raspberry jelly, and the s'mores option comes topped with tiny toasted marshmallows that melt in your mouth. We’re also partial to the blueberry lemon fritters, which pair well with an iced matcha latte at one of the counter stools lining the window." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
