Donut 4 pack - glazed, cinnamon crumb, Oreo blast, creamy caramel cronut / 5⭐!
In my ongoing quest to review as many LA donut shops as I can, I was very pleased with my recent trip to SK Donut & Croissant. I have been here before. But it was a long time ago when I lived in the area. It had been at least ten years since my last visit. Long enough that it felt like my first time again.
SK Donut is a successful entry in the classic, 'pink-box style' donut category. They have been open for over thirty years! They are located in mid-city, on 3rd and Cochran, near The Original Farmer's Market. The small strip mall they are in has decent parking and there is also street parking nearby.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. During my brief time there, they seemed to have steady business but they had more than enough people working to quickly accommodate everyone's orders.
I ordered four donuts and it took me a while to finally decide. The three regular donuts I tried were all from the classic, yeast-raised family. I always like to grab a plain glazed donut. SK's version was perfectly iced and fresh. I heard a cashier mention to another guest that their cinnamon crumb was popular so I tried one of those as well. It was excellent. The Oreo blast was loaded with chocolate cookie crumbs. Fantastic.
The real star of the four donuts I tried was their creamy caramel cronut. It was crispy and soft, like a croissant and packed with caramel and whipped cream. It was very decadent.
They had dozens of donut and cronut varieties to choose from, including a robust gluten free selection. They also have cafe beverages and croissants (both savory and sweet).
Overall, an excellent mid-city donut shop.
