Iconic Farmers Market counter with donuts, coffee, and cinnamon rolls
"Bob's is the ideal mashup of a classic coffee bar and an old-school donut shop. It's been open at The Original Farmers Market since 1947. Grey wood shingles frame the pick-up window and an old-school cash register sits on the long counter. And while its “local institution” status attracts a fair share of tourists, there’s an equally strong representation of regulars. If you want to feel the history, stop by between 8-9:30am and get the legendary “early bird special”— coffee and any donut for $3.50. We like the apple fritter and the gooey house cinnamon roll best." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"If Bob’s was a stand-alone donut shop somewhere else in the city, we’d imagine it’d come with flickering fluorescent lights and a smoky interior filled with grumbling regulars doing crosswords and bitching about bike lanes. What we mean to say is this LA classic is as straightforward and zero-f*cks as it gets. Though it’s not home to our absolute favorite donuts in town, they’re still good and worth a stop anytime you’re at the market before 10am. The menu is pretty wide-ranging, and we love the apple fritter and the gooey house cinnamon roll best. Come by between 8 and 9:30am and get the “early bird special” - a coffee and any donut of your choice for $2.95. Don’t quote us on this, but that’s probably the most affordable breakfast you’ll find in LA. Cash only." - brant cox

"I noted that Bob’s Coffee & Doughnuts — one of the seven oldest restaurants at The Original Farmers Market highlighted by LA In A Minute — opened in 1970." - Mona Holmes
