Trejo's Coffee & Donuts

Small place, big taste. We loved the Mexican matcha latte with the cayenne and ginger. We ordered 7 donuts. He likes the pineapple fritter. I likes the mangonada donut and the horchata donut. Shopping center has its own small parking lot

Glazed, Abuelita (dark chocolate crumble), Margarita (lime glaze and salt) donuts - 5 🌟! I often travel down Santa Monica Blvd and have seen the distinct Trejo's Coffee & Donuts plenty of times. I enjoy seeing the colorful corner location. I love donuts of all kinds and wanted to try them out. The three donuts I sampled were all great. The donuts are a perfect size. The dough was nice and chewy. The flavor combos were creative and tasty. Everything was fresh. Overall, this place hit the spot for what I look for in a donut. I'll happily stop here again in the future for a nice snack. They are in a spot with a parking lot, and as long as you're heading in the right direction, it's easy to drop in. There's lots of donuts in LA, and this one is worth a try.

The donuts were sooo good! Also the horchata was amazing I’m from Chicago and can’t wait to go back. My sister got the coffee and matcha from there and wasn’t a big fan but everything else was amazing. Can’t wait to go back to Cali and go back for some more!

Cute little brightly painted donut shop on a busy corner in Hollywood. All the donuts and fritters have unique flavors and clever names. I had the Abuelita chocolate and my sister had the O.G. Glaze. Both were nice sweet soft and chewy. The staff here are kind and friendly and there’s plenty of Danny Trejo merch 👍

Ultra gratitude for brighten my day after Chipotle and Security Guard denied entry to Sunset and Vine Location and security used obsessive force for no reason. The staff was ultra beautiful and welcomed me with open hearts and arms

My wife and I stopped by to try out the donuts and we were not disappointed. That Margarita Donut was so good I thought I was laying on a beach licking the salt off the rim of the glass. We will definitely be back….Randy’s Who??

Large scrumptious donuts. Loved that they have vegan options, as my daughter is vegan. Choices were limited but still darn good. The only mushier had was the large coffee order had a deceiving that leaked , causing coffee to spill on the lap. At a busy intersection. I would visit again to try more options although this day we purchased a dozen “choice” box. So pretty much tried most available options.

The location is small, sits in the corner of street. Parking is for compact cars. There is a good assortment of donuts. They are a bit pricy but were really good and freshly made. I liked "Abuelita" the best. Dark chocolate frosting. They also sell Trejo coffee and other items such as books and shirts. The customers were coming in non stop while we enjoyed.

An afternoon trip to LA meant I had to stop in and pay a visit to Trejo's Coffee & Donuts. Boy am I glad I did! The horchata donut is to DIE FOR!! The donut literally melts in your mouth! The frosting... DELICIOUS! I will definitely be back! Prices were very reasonable too! Five

I went at an off time but their doors were held wide open which I thought was ok at first, but then realized that flies had entered through that door. A lot of flies. I got a selection of donuts. I got abuelita donuts. 2/5 Chocolate donut 3/5 - just cause I love chocolate Maple pig 2/5 Their OG 2/5 Pineapple Fritter 1/5 Vegan Berry 3/5 All the donuts tasted and felt like they were under cooked. Like they needed a few more seconds in the fryer OR they had a problem with the dough that day. If you look at one of pictures, you can see the bottom of a donut. Seriously, what the heck??? I've never seen such a wrinkled wet looking donut bottom before. Wow All the donuts again were very very very moist to the point that the icing melted on them and were just slowly leaking off the donuts. The donuts were so moist that the icing just melted off to the point that there was no icing left on the donuts. Yeah I know a moist donut is better than a dry donut BUT they was just too moist. You know when you eat a donut the next day, there is that crust on the icing of the donut? Well... The next day, these donuts looked like just plain donuts with stuff on them as the icing had melted off. The donuts just did not impress me at all. With what I tasted, I'd rather spend my money at Winchell's for donuts. And the service was as expected, nothing wow'ing and nothing too bad except the flies. Please close the doors. This place is a complete pass for me.

Cozy pink Coffee & Donut shop on Highland Avenue & Santa Monica Blvd worth the stop. Trejo's C&D has a pretty cool assortment of donuts including several vegan ones, great decor and an easy layout. The cold brew is solid. Options for hot or cold bevs including teas, lattes, espresso, cappuccino, and a variety of roasts, syrups, plus milks with serval non-dairy selects (like oat and almond) The service is prompt, personal and efficient. I will say they do a ton of pickup and delivery (third party app) orders as people were in and out in a flash while I enjoyed the vegan Berry. Their vegan Cinnamon Crumb is next on my list. I do wish they had the Pineapple Fritter or a Fritter available in the vegan style of their donuts as those tend to be a favorite. At Trejo's you can do Coffee Travelers, various Dozens and Breakfast Burritos. Not to mention purchase a variety of merch, plus they can do catering. Parking is a shared lot directly behind them with Everytable, Subway and a lot of eateries. You can find some metered street parking as well. Tall table inside (I believe with stools), but not much room - also city bus benched in front for LA Metro. I was on the go to an event at the LGBT center around the corner from here so it was perfect to just grab and go. Happy I stopped in and definitely will again soon.

I wanted to love this, because I love Danny Trejo and I've enjoyed Trejo's Tacos......but service was terrible. I came from Alaska and was so excited to get a donut and buy a mug for my son. The girl who was working wasn't polite at all. I asked if there were any mugs to buy, she rolled her eyes and said she didn't think so. I asked if she could please look because my son wanted one and I had come from Alaska. She sighed, looked in a drawer and said there wasn't any. I ordered a donut and left. No thank you from her, no options for getting a mug, nothing. I honestly felt like I was bothering her. Donut was good, but service was not. Sorry Danny. Cute spot. Staff needs customer service training

Very good donuts! Definitely stick to the yeasted donuts though as the cake donut was meh. The coffee menu is interesting and I tried the machete matcha which had a bit of spice and I enjoyed it.

On our recent trip to Los Angeles, we tried this place finally whilst exploring Hollywood and found the doughnuts outstanding. It's a small place with limited seating, mostly to take away doughnuts and coffee. However, it has nice decor, and the seating, though limited, has good views right out the window. Overall, we found they did an excellent job on both the classic and inventive types. The doughnuts had a good fried taste, nice texture and dough. They did not go overboard on the interesting versions and kept the elements balanced and complementing,rather than overpowering, the actual doughnut. We got the Margarita, a raised doughnut with lime glaze, lime zest, and salt. It was excellent, the lime and salt noticeable but not overly strong or overly sour,balancing the sweetness and the fried dough. 5 stars. The OG, basic raised glazed was also excellent, although not the best I have had. I would gladly get it again. 4.5 stars. I also got the raised chocolate - also and excellent example of the style. Coffee was good basic doughnut coffee, nothing outstanding but it went well with the doughnuts. Service was good and very friendly. We'll gladly go here again next time we're in the Hollywood area.

tl;dr the southwestern-inspired fruit glazes are excellent; you can't miss the out-of-this-world Margarita raised ring Danny Trejo's career extends beyond the big screen: the Los Angeles native also operates a successful collection of restaurants. The donut-centric entry into the Trejo culinary universe is Trejo's Coffee & Donuts. The menu spans from ambitious ringed donuts to premium java, and all items ooze a sentimental, distinctly LA-inspired flare. The hot pink shop immediately pops against an otherwise dreary block of Santa Monica Blvd. The cramped interior is industrial and decidedly modern. The cement walls are painted with pink and slate accents, and the pressed-tin ceilings are personalized with stars. Walk in to find the warmly lit donut display directly to your right. Shelves are decked with plenty of Trejo-themed merch, from T-shirts to tequila. A handful of immobile stools are lined up underneath the narrow counter that runs along the front windows. Modern pop plays softly throughout the shop. My first few experiences with Trejo's have been sitting takeout boxes, but, finally, I visited the brick-and-mortar. Across each experience, the one-of-a-kind Margarita has been consistently stellar. This vibrant raised donut complements its dynamically tart glaze with a sprinkle of salt, adding up to one of my favorite ringed donuts in the city. The Mangonada is a close runner-up, sporting a sticky, jam-like glaze that achieves an excellent balance of sweetness and spice; I only wish for more candied mango slices. The Fruity Pebble-laden Quinceanera also is nothing to scoff at. Its strawberry buttermilk drizzle nostalgically recalled a sugary bowl of cereal milk. Don't sleep on the seasonal varieties; most recently, the Aleppo pepper-and-strawberry Feugo Fresa packs a pleasant heat and fresh flavor. I have been less impressed by the dark chocolate-y Abeulita, which I found curiously small, dense, and bitter. I also wasn't fond of the Pineapple Fritter. While well-glazed, the dough was underwhelming apart from the few-and-far-between pineapple bits. Even into the afternoon, the quality of the donuts is sure to be enjoyable. Off-hours may be understaffed, but service remains prompt and friendly. The donuts are all under $4, expensive for the less exciting varieties, but a relative bargain nowadays across the new wave of chic shops. In the future when I'm in the area, I'll be sure to pay Trejo's a visit, even if just for a single Margarita ring.

Great donuts! Friendly service and man it's Danny Trejo's spot the ambiance it's a pink donut box with donuts inside! Get all the specialty donuts you can't go wrong

Yummy! I have passed this donut shop hundreds of times. Yesterday I stopped in and bought donuts. Wow! Great customer service. Great variety of unique tastes. Love this place

Passed by here when I was in the area and decided I needed to stop in and give it a try. It was about 1:00 in the afternoon. The place was completely empty and they had a very limited selection all the donuts I wanted to try were sold out so get here early! The entrance door was propped open. After we purchased our donuts. I noticed that on the top shelf there was a fly flying around the margarita donuts. I'm glad it wasn't on the shelf where my donuts, were but it made me worry about eating my donut. The donuts are $3.50 each. I dejected the abuelita and husband got the maple. It was nothing that I couldn't get made better and less expensive locally. Unless they had the unique nacho donut in stock I wouldn't stop in for donuts.

This isn't just a celebrity vanity gimmick place; these are some fantastic high-quality doughnuts. I'm a retired cop, so you know I know doughnuts ;-)

Unique flavors, fresh ingredients, and creative combinations. Strawberry cheesecake, maple bacon, and chocolate chipotle donuts are must-trys. Friendly staff, vibrant atmosphere. Danny Trejo's sweet spot is a Hollywood must-visit!

I'm usually in the camp of "all donuts pretty much taste the same" outside of Krispy Kreme and Mochi donuts.. but something about the fruity pebbles donut from Trejos blew my mind. So much so that I ate a second one later that day. I think it's because the texture is somewhere between a cake donut and a classic donut. And something about the cereal with the frosting which was definitely sweet, just worked with the texture. Idk man I've never written a 5 star review about a single donut but here we are. 12/10.

Delicious donuts with interesting flavors! We tried the mangonada and fruity pebbles donut. Both were good, fluffy and sweet.

A fun celebrity spot that I didn't expect too much from, but ended up enjoying a lot more! Was looking for a coffee shop that wasn't an arm and a leg in Hollywood and came across the iconic pink Danny Trejo mural while driving down, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Gives very celebrity pop up vibes and very grammable because of the pop of pink on the random corner in Hollywood. Seemed to be a bit understaffed as there was only one person working the counter-- but maybe it was a quiet day. I thought it would be just a celebrity sponsored donut shop, but was pleasantly surprised to see giant donuts in unique flavors [and colors ]. Loved the pineapple fritter and all the different unique flavors they offered. What really sold me though was the cochata-- their horchata cold brew. I love horchata and having it as a creamer in cold brew was exactly what I wanted. I do wish that they had more variety more often. I went at 10Am midweek and it seemed like half the racks were gone. Even seeing the reviews, I didn't see half of the flavors that people are talking about here so now I feel like I may have missed out on some other fun offerings.

Danny Trejo and Donuts, what's not to like! I'm a fan of both, and stopped by to pick up a box.

Good fun kitschy atmosphere and I love supporting Trejo and his being but pricey for donuts and nothing amazing...lots of fun kitschy memorabilia though!

I was in the neighborhood. So I decided to try this place. Limited selection they have to offer. I ordered da berry bomb with a medium coffee. A jelly filled donut with blueberry frosting with 3 blueberries on top. Total $7.94. For a couple of more dollars, you can get a decent lunch from somewhere else. Overpriced, you're paying for the celebrity name.

It was end of day on our road trip so 30 minutes before closing so only thing left were their vegan donuts. I would hope that close to closing they may give you discount but nope all full price. Basic donuts all the same with different toppings but for vegan donuts they were some of the best we have had. Stuck in traffic we polished off all 4 of them. Hoping to try the other ones next time

We happened to pass Trejos Donuts while driving around the area, and had to stop! The building is so cute and pink with a big donut mural on the outside and a black and white painting of Danny Trejo (I never thought I'd say a picture of Danny Trejo is cute LOL) The interior is also very welcoming and bright with white tile walls, more donut art, and little wooden bar seats along a counter that runs along the outside wall if you want to eat your treats there. We took our donuts to go, and we got a strawberry one (shaped like a strawberry!), a pineapple fritter, Da Berry Bomb, and a NACHO CHEESE donut! The strawberry donut was absolutely delicious and was my favorite. I'm a sucker for design, donuts and strawberry so this was the perfect combo. Da Berry Bomb was tasty as well, with a lot of different berries in the filling and a berry glaze on top. This one was almost TOO much berry. I'm not a fan of pineapple so the pineapple fritter was my husband's. He loved it so much, I had to take one nibble and it was not as pineappley as I was expecting! Tasted like a normal apple fritter but with an extra slight tropical tang in there. Now, the Nacho donut we bought on a lark, as it was just so weird. It actually wasn't as terrible as it sounded! It basicslly tasted like cornbread with some cheese in/on top of it. Very odd seeming, but actually not terrible tasting. I don't think Trejos Donuts is anything to make a special trip for, but if you're in the area and craving some donuts, they are a pretty good option to consider!

My brother surpriseed with these Amazing donuts. The mixed berries so good. We will get Trejo's again real so.

The service was EXCELLENT! The donuts were sweet and fluffy. My personal favorite was the cinnamon donut, as it tasted like churros! Yummy spot!

Great unique donuts. I came here after hearing about Danny Trejo in the sporkful podcast. Pretty cool that he has all of these food endeavors. It just goes to show you that at the end of the day we're all human and we all need to eat. We had the donut holes, margarita, coconut, birthday cake. I liked the flavors and you normally won't find these at a Dunkin. I'll have to come back to try the breakfast burritos since I'm normally a savory kind of guy.

We were in the area and wanted to try some new spots out. We drove by here to give it a try. We got a couple of donuts and ordered a Macha latte. We drove off and started eating our donuts. Once we sipped out latte it tasted like I grabbed a handful of dry dirt and pit it into a drink. I immediately made a u turn and asked for a different drink and the girl rolled her eyes and made something else. Please train better.

came across Trejo's coffee and donuts while driving through town. Thought I'd check it out since I'm visiting from out of the area. The service was pretty good, the barista's seems to have a good knowledge of the flavor profiles of the coffee they brew There was also quite the donuts that were Spanish themed. I ended up getting a cinnamon sugar, regular donut and a half dozen holes The ambience is basically a hole in the wall with Danny Trejo, apparel cookbooks and his face on pretty much all of their products.

It's over priced! Yes the doughnuts are a different mix and are tasty, but I'm not going out of my way to come here. I only came because I was at the lumber yard and someone said they might be good. Then I was told by the lady there that the beans are canned bean... yea no I pass. Either way yes the doughnuts are good but over priced.

There were breakfast burritos catered from here for a work event I was attending. Initially I thought, "how could there be anything special about a breakfast burrito," and then I bit into one of these bad boys. OMG. The eggs. The beans. The hashbrown. I want to know what seasoning blend they use. And the textures are amazing.

Nice textured dough, awesome employees, and this donut especially gets 5 stars from me: Strawberry aleppo pepper!! If you like the fruit stands, that soak your fruit in lemon juice and Tajin, you will love this donut. SO. GOOD.

Super friendly staff and the donuts were yummy! I went at about 10am and it wasn't busy. I parked in a metered parking spot which was close to the shop. I had a delicious Mexican latte and went home to share donuts. They lasted till the evening.

Went to LA for the weekend and saw this place very close to where I was staying we we had to try it! I got the Tattoo Latte, which was just ok. Couldn't decide on which donut to get because their were so many unique flavors so ended up just getting a box and taking sample bites of each one lol. Favorite by far was the guava gloriosa. I normally don't like filled donuts but that one was delicious. Other top choices were the margarita and the razzarita. The rest were all good and this place isn't just novelty because of the famous name, but they have delicious and unique donuts.

Best donuts in town! Love this place! Everyone is very kind and sweet. Chocolate ones are my favorite. :)

We started our day in LA with a stop at Trejo's Coffee & Donuts. To be honest, we really didn't expect much out of this visit due to the mixed reviews. There was lots of parking when we arrived and no wait in the shop. It's a small space, but the overall vibe is colorful and inviting. The worker was very nice as he let us take our time in making selections and asked beforehand if it was ok to package the vegan and non-vegan donuts in the same box. We bought a half dozen -- the Maple Pig, Cinnamon Crumb, Abuelita and Margarita, then added a cup of medium drip coffee and bottled water. The donuts -- so fresh, tender and really, really good! Wow. My husband loves a good maple donut, but the Maple Pig with candied bacon was another level. He also could not get over how good the Margarita was. It's a new favorite. My usual is the Cinnamon Crumb and Trejo's was one of the best I've had. But I must say that the Abuelita is impressive. The chocolate is not overly sweet and just melted as I bit into that soft donut. The coffee -- hot, fresh and satisfying. The price point is higher than your typical donut shop, but we found Trejo's far from typical. In our opinion, the quality and experience justify the cost. Next -- Trejo's Tacos!!

Great little place with some seating to enjoy a coffee and doughnut. Street parking. I had a Vegan Doughnut and a water after my lunch elsewhere. The staff is friendly and the service quick. Love this place

Traveled from the valley to try Trejo's Donuts! The dough for these donuts is super soft! I enjoyed every single bite! Worth every single mile! Plus, the staff was super friendly. Highly recommended.

the margarita donut is one of the best donuts i've ever had (but skip the coffee tbh)

Finally tried this place. I ordered the half a dozen to share. I also ordered an iced chai latte with oat milk. I tried two donuts. Pleasantly surprised in the quality of the donuts. The abuelita donut was fresh and chewy. It tasted just like the block of abuelita hot chocolate. I really like it. I also had the Margarita donut. Very unique flavor. Tasted like lime and salt. The donut was glazed with kosher salt on top. I want to come again and try different flavors.

Worst donuts I've ever eaten, the cashier is a liar, I ordered a half dozen, just for one flavor to be stale, the other was sour and gross (cashier recommended), and to my pure surprise they ruined a classic maple bacon donut with bacon so dry that you think it was bark, I am outraged that they would charge $25 for these atrocities they call donuts, couldn't pay me to come back

Loved the Margarita donut. It's sweet, tangy with lime zest, and a hint of salty. Fulfilled my donut craving. I was hesitant to try but this flavor works.

The staff is very helpful and kind and funny!! Excellent donuts! and I'm ready for a game night and party tonight

As a fan of Danny Trejo (currently listening to his memoir), I've always wanted to try his donuts. I'm known for donuts in my circle so naturally, this place has been on my radar. On one of my days off, I took a drive out to LA and finally got to try the donuts. I opted for the Margarita donut. It wouldn't be the donut it is without the lime zest and maldon salt. The flavor isn't overwhelming and has a great balance. It was so delicious. I wish I had bought two.

First time at the donut shop. I had looked at their online menu. Stopped by today. Note I have a cinnamon allergy. My daughter and I walked in, and there are 2 people in front of us. Cool, I get to look at the menu. I ask if the mexican chocolate latte has cinnamon? Girl helping us says yes. I ask, "Can you tell me what doesn't have cinnamon?" She responds the lattes. Im ok. Let me get an iced coffee with half and half and caramel syrup. And then proceed to order 6 donuts. My kids told me what they wanted, so I ordered. I ask her, "Does the berry doughnut have cinnamon? She said I dont think so."" It's berry filled. I ordered that one for me, but im a bit apprehensive since she couldn't answer if it did or did not. We got our coffees, they had no syrup, and my cold coffee tasted more than half and half. The customer service was not great it wasnt as it was super early it was already past 9 am. Kids said donuts were tasty. I took a small bite of my berry one but worried it might have cinnamon. Staff should be trained to be able to answer allergy questions with no hesitations. Not sure if we will go back

I'm a big fan of donuts and Danny Trejo has more film credit range than Mariah Carey when she was married to a sugar daddy instead of Father Abraham aka Nick "I might be your daddy" Cannon! Therefore, when I was visiting L.A. and a friend told me about Trejo Donuts, it was a no brainer! I loved it! The donuts have a unique texture. Somewhere between cake and a traditional yeast donut, but I dig it. And the flavors smacked! The Margarita literally made my lips smack! The first bite hits you, but is oh so good! I washed it down with a Mexican latte and left satisfied as Robert Rodriguez look at his bank account after Shark boy and Lava Girl!

The location is small, sits in the corner of street. Parking is for compact cars. There is a good assortment of donuts. They are a bit pricy but were really good and freshly made. I liked "Abuelita" the best. Dark chocolate frosting. They also sell Trejo coffee and other items such as books and shirts. The customers were coming in non stop while we enjoyed.

Just made a quick visit here. The margarita donut is very unique with sweet lime and a pinch of saltiness. . Service was super pleasant and fast, even with 5 people in line. The Horchata is not very sweet, so that may be great for you or you may want to put some sweetener in it. They have great coffee. They also have breakfast burritos now! Easy parking.

Very delicious and fluffy donuts. So many unique flavors I loved the quinceanera, coco loco, cinnamon crumb, and berry bomb donut

I was working In the area and came across Trejos donuts...I did not know Trejo had a donut shop now, I thought he only had the taco shops.. So obviously I was curious and pulled over to try them out... I went during the month of June, so most of their donuts were Pride theme... I glanced to see what they had and decided to try one of the pride donuts call come 4 me... the donut I got was so good...It was soft and delicious, it had a taro filling that was so good and like no other donut I've ever had. The donut shop is pretty cool, it is definitely very hipster and trendy... They sell other things as well and Trejo merchandise... The donuts are bit expensive (about $3.75 each), but definitely worth it because you can taste the quality of ingredients and OH man are they good... I will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area again to try more flavors of their donuts and to try some of their specialty coffee... The staff here was very nice and helpful, definitely give Trejo's donuts a 5 star review, and of you are ever in the area go try then out.. They have some interesting and unique flavors and they are worth the hype... They are delicious..

I was looking for a sweet treat after brunch so my friend and I went on a little walk. Minus stars for multiple reasons: there was only a small selection of donut flavors available, there was no horchata or agua frescas, I didn't see anything about a burrito that the website advertises, and the soft serve has apparently been unavailable for years, even though there is a huge ice cream cone painted on the window advertising soft serve. The lone staff member was nice enough, and apologetic about being out of everything that we asked for, but it seems as if this donut concept has been forgotten about. We unenthusiastically picked the raspberry lime donut to share, which had a great, strong lime flavor. I did enjoy it. Bonus: donut was good Bogus: out of a lot of stuff Final verdict: I drive past it all the time wondering. Now I've been and I don't need to go back. Mr. Trejo needs to do a refresh.

Confession The best donuts in Los Angels county. My all time day is the Abuelita. ( best chocolate flavor) My new treat is the Mango Chili.... The flex golden glaze is beautiful too. My husband go to is the Lowrider and the vegan berry. The best vegan donuts in town too. It is in a little colorful part of town, but don't let that stop you. We have met some wonderful interesting people waiting in line there. You have to go early to have more options as they sell out.

I am a big Danny fan & I had to come thru! The service was great! Thank you Andy for being so nice to my friends and I, he answered all our questions! I Couldn't pick a favorite flavor they are all so good, I am def going to come more often haha! I loved the different types of donuts like the lime margarita one, chocolate Abuelita, and the apple fritter!!^.^
