Donas is the Next Place to Add to Your Foodie Bucket List

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Emerson chapter.

Craving donuts lately? This mom and pop shop will do the deed of satisfying all the sweet craving you may have. Donas opened up in October 2017 and started becoming more and more popular early this year. They have been featured in their local news paper, The Downey Patriot, major platforms like Foodbeast, and other programs across social media.

Not only is their shop uber cute with splashes of multiple pastel colors covering the whole store and a huge ice cream mural called “Dulce Lluvia” outside their building that’s perfect for instagram pictures, their doughnuts are just as eye catching. Some of their popular doughnuts include Mazapán, Bidi Bom, and Lechera Glaze.

The city Donas is located in has a huge Latinx community, so bringing in Mexican culture into their shop was something that was unique and made them a special addition to the Los Angeles County community. By bringing in Mexican culture, they came up with clever names to bring their donuts to life like, their limited edition “Amor es Amor” that’s a multi-colored vanilla donut celebrating Pride this month, the “La María” which includes the Maria cookies from Spain, and the “Bionico” that has chopped fruit, condensed milk, granola, and coconut shreds.

Did Someone Say Glitter Doughnuts?

You’ve heard right, Folks! Donas have started showering their doughnuts with glitter. The Rich B*tch, gold covered doughnut, and the Bidibidi Bom, purple covered doughnut, are some of their popular glitter treats that has been getting all the craze! Let me just say, I ate these for breakfast and I felt like I was shining all day.

Where Can I Get These Heavenly Treats?
