Moon donut

I went to Moon Donuts last night and even though it was 9 ’o clock at night the donuts were soft and fresh. I picked out a dozen and a half and these were delicious. The assortment was overwhelming and it was difficult to choose, but they had my favorites. Fresh donuts abd hot coffee t might are a good thing. This place is in a mini strips mall with minimal parking. The lady was very friendly and helped me figure out a future visit for their special “Birthday Donuts”. This is your standard donut shop, no special decor, but the donuts are what you come for.

I love Moon Donuts. They have such a wonderful variety of donuts and sandwiches. I also love that they open at 4 am!

Moon donuts is so great. The place is cute, not large. It is very clean and parking is easy and free. It is located in Redondo Beach which is a lovely area. We were going to have lunch after getting donuts to go, but their food looked so good we stayed there and ate inside--still taking our dozen home. The food is so much better than any donut shop I have been to. We decided to get several things and share. We had a bacon, omelet and cheese croissant and the croissant was perfect. It was light and fluffy and freshly made. The egg omelet and bacon were perfect. We loved their egg, hash browns and cheese burrito. It was so yummy. Their sausage, egg and cheese bagel was on a fresh egg bagel and was ever so good. We all had coffee which also was great. I never thought I would find such a great lunch at a donut shop. Their donuts are so good. They have a huge selection and if you order in advance you can have them make Happy Birthday donuts with the name spelled out on several donuts or whatever you want. It is such a great idea. I don't care for fritters, but my grandson does and he declared this the best fritter he ever had. Their glazed donuts are soft and fresh. They also make some of the cutest donuts with little animals on them and you can even get frosted cheerios on a donut. They also have all the donuts you would expect at any good donut shop. The service is really nice and they get your food order right the first time. We will be back.

Apple fritter was burnt. Value was bad. $22 for 8 donuts- 3 custard, 1 jelly, 2 maple bars and 2 fritters was quite steep. Disappointed in size and quality. Might be good with more exotic donuts that they have.

Loved the donuts and flavors offered. I tried the regular glazed donut first hands down the best so you know everything else will be great. But I do believe the traditional glaze was my favorite. The Nutella Cronuts were so good too! We didn’t have one don’t we didn’t like. My son loved the strawberry cheesecake. My husband liked the house special. Anything you have will be fantastic. Only thing I would make change is the chocolate glaze is too thin. But still tasty.

Good selection of donuts to pick from, but they are a little over price, but they are good. They also have fresh orange juice. The service is where they need to improve.

Tons of unique flavors to choose from, all delicious! The coffee and Thai ice tea is also well balanced. Service is quick and friendly, and prices are low to the area also

Fun and tasty donuts 😋 staff is always so nice too

Best donuts in Town! Stop by here a lot but this is the first time I got to do a review! They have choices upon choices for donuts; chocolate, glazed, sprinkles you name it! They have lots to choose from, and all sorts of decorative donuts for your choosing! Leon helped me pick out my batch and I can say he was very helpful, and was able to pick the donuts (some I never would have picked myself) and they all tasted great! They get really busy in the morning so try and grab your donuts before the rush, very clean and kept tidy for every customer. A little small but that's okay because they are very speedy with service! If I could give a 10 out of 10 I would! Definitely a donut lovers paradise!

tl;dr the crummy cronuts and premium prices at this neighborhood favorite overshadow the otherwise solid fritter Donut shops are never more than a stone's throw away across Los Angeles, and every Angeleno has their neighborhood favorite. A popular local spot is Moon Donut in Torrance. This family-run bakery is best known for its custard-filled donut varieties, but the dizzying selection makes picking just one donut a challenge. Moon Donuts shares a lime-green strip mall with a smoke shop and a chicken shop. But on a weekend morning, all of the bustle is donut-focused; expect a steady stream of customers. The interior is brightly lit, industrial, and a little run-down. Shelves upon shelves of donuts are neatly organized in the displays to the right, while a short refrigerator section to the left is filled with grab-and-go beverages. The hot menu is displayed on flat screens behind the counter, and coffee fixings are stacked on a stainless-steel shelf in the corner. My partner and I arrived mid-morning on a Sunday, and the staff were quick to take our order. We decided on an Apple Fritter and a Cookie Cronut. Moon's fritter was unlike any I've ever had. Uniquely, it was filled with walnuts, but the apple flavor was minimal; perhaps the donut would be more aptly described as a "cinnamon-walnut fritter". The dough was dense, crispy, and syrupy (all pros to me), but the absence of apple held this fritter back from being one of my favorites across LA. Meanwhile, the cronut was an ambitious and delicious-sounding option that fell flat in practice. The cookie was overcooked and mostly tasteless, while the donut was essentially just a ring-shaped croissant; both components were inferior to something I could buy at Costco. Rarely do I leave a donut on the table (especially a premium and expensive one like this), but I simply couldn't choke this one down. Service was efficient, and our total clocked in above $9 (taking into account Moon's credit card surcharge). While the fritter had its positives, the cronut was simply unpalatable. As such, I will probably steer clear of Moon in the future, even if I'm already in the neighborhood.

SO YUMMY! I am somewhat of a donut snob...and these were so fresh and delicious! The prices are great too for donuts with such great flavors and presentation. Staff was friendly and service was quick even with the small line that was there when we arrived. Small lot but no issue finding a parking spot. Will be back! I saw they also do custom donuts!

Amazing donuts for our faculty meeting. Donuts were fresh, and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Moon donuts is close to my work site and always a hit.

Delicious donuts. Interesting flavors. The maple bacon are bomb!!! Loved the red velvet and smores flavors too. Take out only, counter service, no seating. Fresh OJ, milk, sodas and coffee too. Best donuts in SoCal

Everyone loves Moons Donuts. Arrived at 9:30 on Father's Day. Parking lot was full and there was a line out the door. Peeked at the display cases and they were pretty much half full. My go to donut is their Apple Fritters. They were all gone. It was a sign from the Lord above. I got here too late!! Better planning next time. No other donut will suffice. I'll be back. Ok, bye.

I rarely have donuts, but when I have a craving I come to Moon Donuts. My favorites are the French cruller donuts, apple fritters, and the blueberry cake donuts. Moon Donuts make their donuts fresh daily and are the best in the area! This is a mom & pop local donut place. Off street parking can be challenging at times, since it's shared with a couple of chicken places and a smoke shop.

Date: June 15, 2025 It was Father's Day and we were in the area on the way to redondo beach and wanted a little snack. I originally wanted some sweet bread but there's nothing in the area so I suggested donuts. We passed by moon donuts on the way to the pier so we stopped by. They have two different kinds of donuts. A 'regular' fridge and a 'fancy' fridge. The regular ones are the plain sugar, glaze, chocolate and sprinkles like you normally see at a donut shop and the fancier ones have different flavors like ube, cream, sprinkles/toppings, and so much more. We got a half dozen (11.99$) and thought we could pick anything but it's only out of the regular fridge. So we got those. She gave us 3 donut holes for my kids which was super sweet. The fancier donuts are priced at 3.50$ each. Which isn't bad but for what we wanted, it was out of our price range. But I will definitely be back to try some of those! They also do custom donuts too! The donuts were SUPER fluffy and so soft and so delicious!!! The sugar one was just *chef's kiss*. And the glaze was amazing ! We devoured them so quickly I wish we got a dozen! Thank you so much for a great first visit. We will definitely be back!

Love coming here! Their donuts are bomb, but I'd say I love their breakfast even more! Their breakfast burritos and very big and filling for such a good price. Such a good hole in the wall!

We wanted to get our friend birthday donuts as a last minute gift. I was able to place the order the night before and pick up by 8:30-9 am the next day. We were able to personalize the letters, icing, and toppings. The shop is simple and small but had a great variety of donuts. We were happy with the custom order and are excited to share this with our friend. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into the donuts. The toppings are neatly arranged and made the donuts look great.

Disclaimer, I got donuts from here using the "too good to go" app. I do not recommend doing this. The donuts are probably better fresh and sadly, since I had them from this deal, they weren't good and left a bad impression. The donuts look good and pretty, but the icing is waxy and flavorless. The store itself was very warm when I entered and not much in terms of customer service.

I went to Moon Donuts last night and even though it was 9 'o clock at night the donuts were soft and fresh. I picked out a dozen and a half and these were delicious.

Hands down best donuts ever! I'm not a donut person and man these are good! We came 3 times in 1 week! My favorite are the matcha and the strawberry Nutella donuts! So good! They are so nice there and make the matcha fresh just have to wait a bit but who wouldn't a wait a bit for fresh donuts?! Well worth the wait!! I highly, highly recommend!!

My son & his friends loved his birthday donuts! Thank you so much! They were delicious and fresh as well

Nice variety of donuts. Good friendly staff and service. There's also other items like croissant and sandwiches.

Cute, old-school donut shop located in a strip mall, same plaza as Chicken Maison and Taishi Hainan Chicken. They have your usual glazed donuts, powder donuts, sugar twists, etc but what makes them stand apart from other shops is that they also have very cute donuts with creative designs on display like a unicorn donut, princess donut, cookie monster donut, etc. My daughter got a mini chocolate donut with pastel rainbow sprinkles and a strawberry Pocky donut. I got a coffee glazed donut which was soft and delicious and my husband got an old fashioned donut. The lady working was so sweet and also added in a few glazed donut holes for free. All the donuts we tried tasted yummy. You can also place an order for custom donuts for birthdays or events. I've seen them do an excellent job at my friends' events. I would totally order from them in the future! Parking: free in plaza lot

First timers at Moon Donuts. Their donuts are incredibly fluffy and yummy. The service is quick and efficient.

Some of the best donuts in the area! Parking is great and the workers are very friendly and fast with service. This location is always busy in the morning. My personal favorite is the Denver Omelette Croissant which comes with a choice of micro greens and jalapeños (BOMB)! A lot of my friends say their Vietnamese coffee is amazing too so I will have to try that out! But a donut place that deserves a high rating! Insta: Lovingyourtaste

Incredible assortment of donuts with crowd pleasing options and unique ones! Everything was fresh and delicious, and the lady was kind enough to throw in an extra. There is a very small note on the menu that each specialty donut adds a $1.95 to the assortment price and that stacks up very quickly, so be vigilant with your choices. They're open late and have plenty of parking with a clean friendly storefront.

Didn't have a great experience overall with this particular donut shop- it was definitely the opposite.

The donuts were a mixed success...I bought some fancies and some regular donuts...The apple fritter and large cinnamon roll were great but our blueberry cheesecake donut was sweet but not very blueberry tasty...the regular donuts were all very fresh and good...4 stars...

YUMMY DONUTS AND BREKKY CROISANT SANDWICHES! I've been here a number of times since moving and it's within walking distance and it never disappoints! The donuts are moist and fresh and the breakfast sandwiches are amazing! How do they get their eggs so perfectly fluffy and omelette-y?! I don't know but give it a try!

My boss brought the chocolate sprinkles one to the office and I immediately went after work to buy half a dozen! Out of the ones I got, the chocolate, cookie monster, white heart sprinkles, and coffee were amazing! 10/10! Unfortunately, the ube crumb and taro fell short. They tasted mostly like blue food coloring frosting and not like taro or ube at all. A bit disappointing but at least the others were delicious! They dont keep as well second day, but freshly baked they are the best donuts I've ever had! Nice and fluffy and not too sweet. They're reminiscent of native fry bread. Highly recommend! But stay away from the colored frosting as they tend to taste like food coloring.

My friends have been telling me about Moon Donuts but since I usually buy donuts for work I have never been this way because it's the opposite direction from work. This week I'm on staycation so why not enjoy it with yummy fried foods high in calories? Moon donuts is really close to my house in a small plaza. There's plenty of parking and since most of the stores aren't dine in, people come and go. We were lucky when we arrived there were only two customers in front of us because soon it was totally packed to overflowing. The donuts there are so pretty. My LO wanted the pick donut with gummy bears on top. My friend recommended the Apple fritter which is my favorite donut. I also ordered the croissant #1 which has bacon, cheese and eggs. I also ordered the hot tarp milk latte. Service is quick. We didn't wait too long for our sandwich and latte. The Apple fritter is solid and a good size to feed five people or for one person to eat for two days. I really enjoyed the croissant sandwich. How do they get the egg so fluffy? The taro milk latte is yummy but too sweet for my tastes I'm not a donut gal but I would come back for the sandwiches.

Stopped in quickly one morning to bring donuts to my office. They were beautiful but hella mid and it cost me $60. I don't normally eat donuts so maybe that's normal or maybe it is inflation but that seems like a lot for one dozen donuts. If you're seeking aesthetic more than taste, this your place!

You walk into this unsuspecting adorable donut shop and at first glance you say, I'll take them all!! They look so delicious and perfect. So plump and colorful. So delicious. I am supposed to be on a diet but wow. They're so friendly too!

Their donuts are delicious. My favorite is the maple bacon. I highly recommend going there.

Mmmmmm... donuts! So deliciously tasty. Wide variety. Small little shop in a little plaza in Redondo Beach. There's a small parking lot with free parking. Arrive early on weekends to avoid standing in a long line. Delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. This donut shop is a hidden gem for locals and a must try!

Best donut shop with the cutest decorated donuts, good breakfast croissant sandwiches, coffee and fresh squeezed OJ. I love this local place. Located in a small plaza. Look for Moon donuts

What happened to those big fluffy jelly donuts I used to get there! So disappointed in the flat doughy version I got today, and the price!!!! Spent almost $18 on six jelly donuts that were almost raw. Don't think I'll be going back.

For a dozen donuts they charge me $41.30 Almost $4 per donut Donuts ok... Horrible service, rush rush and overcharging Horrible experience Ask for a receipt

Best donut shop around!! Last minute, I was looking for a desert to take to work the following morning. Automatically I thought of cupcakes but then remembered moon donuts offered happy birthday donuts. I texted them at 6pm to hopefully get donuts for the next morning at 7:20am. They were very nice and took my order. Everyone in the office enjoyed them. Will definitely be doing donuts moving forward. Loved them

My daughter was so excited to try this places donuts. When she bit into it, she saw this big long hair in it. We didn't have time to go back because we went on vacation. We took a photo of the hairy donut and called to ask if we could get our money back ($6.00) for the donut. They wanted the physical donut or would do nothing. I explained that we didn't have the donut and just the picture. The lady started screaming and yelling at me, "saying no donut no refund and that she didn't care about me". I let her know I'd be placing this review and she screamed at me that she didn't care. This place needs some customer service training and how to work with customers and maybe wear some hair nets so hair isn't in the food.

37-year resident here. I've been going to Moon Donuts for over three decades and have always found them to be close to outstanding in nearly every way. It's been my go-to place--especially when I want to pick up a box or two to take to the police or fire department as a gesture of appreciation for their service. Unfortunately, today's experience was very different. The frosting on all the cake donuts looked carelessly applied--none of that glossy, precise finish we've come to expect over the years. I ordered a jelly donut and a cake donut. The cake donut had frosting haphazardly splattered on it. The jelly donut's glaze looked uneven, with patchy sugar blotches. But the real shock came when I took a bite of the jelly donut: inside was a black spider, swimming in the red jelly. I immediately returned it to the cashier, who politely asked if I'd like a replacement. Of course, I did--but I left feeling unsettled. Sadly, it seems the quality at Moon Donuts has changed. The donuts sloppy exterior and surprising interior now reflects a deeper issue. Something's just not right.

The good: I'm over the moon for Moon Donuts! I ordered customized letter donuts that read "Here Comes the Son" for my baby shower. It was easy to order through Instagram and was around $53. They were very flexible and asked for my design ideas and inspo. The donuts were tasty and not overly sweet. They were light and not heavy in oil nor did they have too much frosting. I look forward to ordering from them again. The bad: They weren't always the most responsive thru IG. I wish they had an online ordering form. I was hoping they'd incorporate "Sun" shapes or theme a little more than just the color scheme but I think next time I'll just be more specific. The interesting: I ordered donuts for the day after national donut day!

A half dozen of donuts costs $10. Overpriced. There are fancy donuts like Cookie Monster, colorful cornflakes sprinkle etc but I only picked simple ones for to go. Donuts I got were not so different from other reasonable priced donuts. I might try fancy ones next time but I'm not sure. Plenty of parking and some delivery options as well.

This is the best donut shop!!! They even made the cronut special for me because I wanted a powdered sugar one!!! My kiddo got the Ube crumb donut and it was crazy good!!!!! They are great! Really nice Please try them

Best donut shop in The South Bay! Probably in LA. I don't know a better place and it's open 24hrs. Very dangerously delicious. Ok enjoy! ;)

Ordered "custom" happy bday donuts and was given a completely different design than we agreed upon! Completely different!!!! Charged me $80 for donuts!! Soooo disappointing considering this was for a birthday celebration and I walked out with nothing due to their complete lack of respect for the customer.

Super fun specialty donuts, awesome 'regular' donuts and amazing Viet coffee and that special watermelon smoothie thing .. WOW Sweet and friendly staff, open late, LOVE coming here!

Amazing donuts. Amazing food. Amazing orange juice. Amazing all around. Highly recommend. A jewel of the South Bay.

So many different flavors of donuts - flavors with cute designs on each of them! I love their selection of breakfast burritos and croissants! You get so much value in whatever you get here :) Service is quick since they have a lot of people there to take care of you - so service is great! They keep the place very clean and its a quaint spot. I can see lines go out the door and its in a strip mall area, but there's strip mall parking and street parking. Definitely recommend!

Hidden gem! I love the Salted caramel, Mango Tajin and House Special Cronut! Great service and they're open 24/7 if you're on a carb load!! Wifey loves the maple donuts.

Greasy with bad oil. Straight up not good. And pricey to boot - sidecar prices with dime star donuts. So disappointed. I ended up throwing almost all of the donuts I ordered away.

Hmmm... I drove a half hour out of my way because this place had such rave reviews. What a letdown. The shop was on a corner and the building green which stood out as easy to find. The doors were literally open giving off a friendly vibe. Donuts were colorful and plentiful and visually appealing. I got half a dozen (4 glazed and 2 specialty). The guy working said $8.75 but when I went to pay with credit card he mumbles how they prefer cash. So I attempted to pay in cash but only had $5-6 so said sorry and sheepishly stuck my card back out. He then says "oh not $8.75 its $8.95 plus extra charge for cc fee so $9.45". Whatever bleh. I was still excited hoping they taste good because then I have my new shop as I love to bring donuts for kids events. I judge based on glazed donuts and I'm sorry but it was awful. I didn't even finish it.

Amazing breakfast sandwhiches and coffee... of course the donuts are a no brainer. Get the omelette sandwhich

Went on a Sunday at 11 or so, there was no line. Donuts were soft and fresh, so good! We had a cronut, coffee, maple bar, and maple bacon. My first cronut, sweet and flaky. Will need to try the ube donut next time, so many choices, so little time. Vietnamese iced coffee was pretty good too.

Donuts unfortunately didn't taste fresh to me... they are open 24/7 perhaps that's why they aren't fresh. They have fruit Flys flying all over. The breakfast sandwich however was tasty and fresh.
