Creative Gourmet: 8 L.A. Spots To Try Unique Treats

Utilizing his powerful expertise as a multi-platinum music producer, Mark Trombino has seized the donut scene with his shop, “Donut Friend.” Much like Chipotle for burritos or 800 Degrees for pizza, Donut Friend carries out a "do it yourself" approach to donuts.

Of course, they also have Signature Combinations to choose from (and add too) that are wildly delicious. For instance, their hottest selling donut, “Bacon 182,” a traditional donut with maple glaze topped with either regular or vegan bacon.
