"Ask anyone from West LA where to get the best classic doughnuts, and they’ll tell you Primo’s. This tiny spot on Sawtelle has been open since the 1950s, and yet the freshly baked options in their glass case are still selling out by the early afternoon. Primo’s is known for their crispy old-fashioned buttermilk donut, which tastes like a cinnamon-dusted biscuit that’s got a thing for churned cream. Call ahead and they’ll usually set a few aside for you. Otherwise, their cinnamon rolls and cake donuts are still worth the drive." - Nikko Duren
