These California doughnut shops rank among best in the country, Yelp says. Here’s why
Yelp named the top 100 doughnut shops in the country just in time for National Doughnut Day.
With 10 California businesses landing spots on the report, the state has plenty of doughnut shop options for the June 3 celebration.
The “Top 100 US Donut Shops 2022” includes shops across the state, including in Los Angeles, San Diego, Folsom, Riverside, Orange and Sacramento.
To find the best doughnut shops, Yelp looked at U.S. businesses in the “donut category.” Then each place was ranked based on the total volume and ratings of reviews.
SK Donuts & Croissant in Los Angeles ranked No. 2.
The family-owned business is known for its SKronuts — a fried croissant that’s “flaky on the inside, crunchy on the outside and iced in our signature glaze.”
“These donuts are some of the most creative and coolest donuts in all of LA!” one Yelp reviewer wrote.
- SK Donuts & Croissant — Los Angeles
- Sesame Donuts — San Diego
- BJ Cinnamon — Folsom
- JD Flannel Donuts and Coffee — San Juan Capistrano
- Steve’s Donuts — Riverside
- Donut Hub — Orange
