Vicky’s Donuts

They have great donuts and better croissants. I love the ham and cheese the best. I have been living in Hawthorne for 5 years now and I have to say that this is one of the best donut shops I have been to. Winchells only has notoriety of being a great donut shop because of the number of locations. Small shops tend to put an emphasis on the quality of the product.

Best doughnuts in hawthorne I’ve been going here since 93 owners are nice. place is always clean inside. the doughnuts always taste good

They have a good variety of your basic donut flavors, but are far better tasting than dunkin donuts, krispy kreme, or your standard chain shop. Super cheap too! Cash only though.

Ham egg cheese bagels better way to start the day! Nice and quick service! I highly recommend it!

Love this place! This place has been in business since the mid-​1980s (first on Rosecrans, then moved to this current location on Prairie). The doughnuts are amazing and the prices are good.
People talk about Krispy Kreme’s doughnuts like they’re so good but they’re only that way if you get this right off the conveyor belt, but the moment they cool, they taste like any other mediocre doughnut found anywhere. At Vicky’s, the doughnuts are light and airy (at least the regular ones, not so much the dense buttermilks or old-​fashions). They stay that way and taste fresh all day. Every doughnut is baked fresh early that morning and anything that isn’t sold is tossed out, no exceptions. They don’t keep or sell day-​old doughnuts to ensure that each is topnotch and great tasting.
Tax is included in whatever price you’re quoted. They also sell that beloved Farmer Brothers coffee. If you’re a coffee snob, then it probably wouldn’t be good enough for you. But for the normal coffee-​lover, this stuff is wonderful. I enjoy the Farmer Bros. cappuccino and hot chocolates that they serve. They also sell iced blended drinks, which are way better than Starbucks frappuccino– they taste better and the consistency is smooth also (unlike Starbucks, where it’s chunky and you get ice bits in your drink).
It’s a bit of a travel from where I live but anytime I’m in the area (like dropping someone off at LAX), you can be sure I make a stop here and get those doughnuts and hot drinks!
