Seasonal strawberry & peach donuts stuffed with fresh fruit
"Great donuts alone are solid, but great donuts stuffed with fresh fruit are even better. That’s what Donut Man, a legendary shop that’s been around since the ’70s, has always understood. Their landmark location on Route 66 in Glendora is a clutch Vegas road trip stop, but they also have a convenient stall at Grand Central Market as well. Whichever one you visit, prioritize whatever fruit-filled donuts are available, most likely the strawberry-stuffed ones topped with big bright-red fruit and drizzled in a sticky glaze. They’re a complete mess, and an LA rite of passage." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"It’s Friday morning and you’re leaving an hour later than you wanted to. The 1-10 East is already a parking lot so your move here is to cut north to the slightly better (and far more scenic) 210 East. Crisis averted. But in an hour’s time your blood sugar is running low and your roommate won’t stop talking about his new medical marijuana card. Time for donuts. Luckily, you’re in Glendora, home to The Donut Man and his quite famous strawberry-stuffed donuts. Depending on the season, you could get served his peach-stuffed version instead and that’s completely okay. Because this Route 66 classic must-stop always has you covered." - brant cox
"Do you really need to drive an hour just to eat a donut? If that donut is coming from Donut Man, the answer is yes. Located on Route 66 in the eastern SGV suburb of Glendora, The Donut Man has been around since the ‘70s and is a flat-out classic. While they have a menu of all sorts of very good donuts, you’re here for the famous strawberry-stuffed ones. They’re basically puffy donut pitas filled with fresh, sugar-glazed strawberries and they ruin every other donut in existence. For a few weeks in late summer, you might see peach-filled donuts instead. Don’t worry, they’re somehow even better." - brant cox, garrett snyder
