By Local Bongo Editors
Donut Friend has been making plant-based donuts and ice cream in Los Angeles since 2013. The Highland Park shop at 5107 York Blvd is described on the website as where it all began.
Everything sold at the shop is made in house by hand in small batches every day. That includes the donuts, the mochi donuts, and the plant-based ice cream branded Creamo Ice Cream®.
What Donut Friend Makes
The core of the menu is signature donuts with inventive flavors. The shop describes them as striking a balance between traditional donuts and donuts that push boundaries, with adventurous combos like punk rock-inspired creations.
There are also mochi donuts — sweet rice cake donuts with a variety of glazes and toppings.
Creamo Ice Cream® is the shop's own plant-based ice cream. It also appears in donut ice cream sandwiches, donut ice cream sundaes, and donuts turned into shakes.
Small-Batch Production and a Rotating Menu
Production is small-batch and by hand, every day. The menu rotates four times a year, and the shop periodically introduces unique items during holidays or special events.
For celebrations, the shop takes special orders for miniature donuts, donut letters, and giant donuts.
