JesseNovember 5, 2012For those who are dairy free, gluten free AND soy free, try the chocolate coconut or passion fruit coconut. Unlike some of the other df fonuts, these are soy free (and oh-so-delicious) as well.
Justin OrdovezaFebruary 18, 2015Wonderfully inventive donut combinations. Lots of gluten free and vegan options. The blueberry and earl grey tea donut was soft and intensely flavored.
Maaham AzizSeptember 11, 2014The lemon donut is softer and much more moist than the average donut: Fonuts does not deep fry, instead steams! The iced coffee (from the infamous Lamills) is cold brewed for 17 hours! Best coffee!!!
- Justin OrdovezaFebruary 18, 2015The rosemary and olive oil donut was almost like a really good cornbread. It was savory, it had the fragrance of the rosemary and the richness of the olive oil.
DailyCandyFebruary 25, 2014The fluffy confections are like the donut’s hipper, healthier cousin, baked fresh daily. Choose from flavors like strawberry buttermilk, maple bacon, and the must-try banana and chocolate.
Connie ChiuApril 24, 2017Got the blueberry earl grey for free! Birthday goodies. The glaze is really good. Fonuts taste more moist and cake like than donut. Still good!- Rachel BJuly 19, 2016Incredible GLUTEN-FREE DONUTS!! So many flavors. The chocolate ones have the best taste and texture.
Patti RayneJune 15, 2013Delicious lattes. The milk is not organic but sweetens up nicely. No need to add sugar. Friendly down-home vibe and service. Great to break up the work day. Half dozen donuts to deliver to clients- Bullfrog & BaumAugust 27, 2012This is NOT your typical donut place—it’s better! Top favorites include: Chocolate Banana (which happens to be gluten-free), Blueberry Earl Gray and Strawberry Buttermilk.
Serious EatsSeptember 19, 2011These Faux Doughnuts are baked not fried, giving them a moist, cake-like crumb. Flavors include rosemary and olive oil, peanut butter and chocolate filled, and zesty lemon. Read more
It's cheaper to buy a half dozen.wish they were $2 per instead of $3. I love the banana vegan GF version. I'd make this a bad habit if I could afford them. They don't give you a sugar high but sweet- Bullfrog & BaumJune 20, 2012I scream for ice cream! Fonuts has outdone themselves with their newly launched ice cream sandwiches. Head over and add a scoop of homemade ice cream on top that piece of heaven.
Danny NathanFebruary 23, 2017Donuts here were tasty but they have a different consistency than regular donuts because they're baked. They're kinda cake or bead-like. Good for a try once but I'm not in a rush to return.
Lauren-Michelle KraftJanuary 20, 2016Staff is awesome. I got the blueberry earl grey -- tasted more like a muffin than a doughnut but still good.
Engracia FigueroaJuly 7, 2014Hello I'm addicted to FONUTS and I don't care what you think!!!! Blueberry Earl Gray and Chocolate Hazelnut are my serious gets!!!!
Kevin PrattAugust 5, 2014The cold brew preparation of Lamill beans create a cold, dark cup with hints of honey and earth tones.
Out of all the coffee I've had in LA, from handsome, to intelligentia, to the chains, this is the best.- Great (and I mean GREAT) vegan and gluten free donuts. Not fried. So delicious.
- Bullfrog & BaumSeptember 14, 2011Fonuts are "faux" because they're baked, not fried. Acclaimed pastry chef Waylynn Lucas whips up these tasty treats with--believe it or not--health in mind.
AD NysOctober 15, 2011Oh my. Bring friends so you don't feel guilty trying half a dozen flavors. Many gluten free options.
FabFitFunNovember 16, 2011Doughnuts and health have finally collided at Fōnuts, an awesome little bakery with a wholesome twist.
Kingsley YoungerApril 29, 2015I don't understand why they mix olive oil with canola oil like in the rosemary fonut. I'm concerned about canola oil bcoz 90% of the canola oil sold in the US are GMO, known to cause health problems.
The best...Strawberry Buttermilk or if you're Vegan, Passionfruit Coconut.
Emma CárdenasAugust 18, 2013The chocolate hazelnut fonut was ridiculously amazing!! Highly recommended
Lindsay NixonSeptember 15, 2012Usually 5 to 6 of their donuts are vegan and GF! Also baked not fried
Now offering cakes! Just make sure to place order a week in advance.
Peter KSeptember 24, 2011The one bad donut we had here was gladly replaced by the owner upon hearing our disatisfaction. That's customer service at its finest!
