Mise en Place: I go nuts for donuts!

Los Alamitos Donuts

Located in Los Alamitos, CA on the corner of Cerritos and Los Al blvd.

Now this looks like your typical donut shop but to me it is far from it! I would eat here every morning if it wouldn't end up giving me diabetes by the end of the first week. This place has all the original donut shop favorites and so much more. I feel like people never give places like this a chance, because it doesn't look like your fancier Dunkin Donuts or have an espresso machine or anything "gluten free" *gag* etc...But these really are the places to go people and this place ESPECIALLY! I truly believe that making donuts is an art, not just anyone can make a good donut. The owner and his wife come in at the ass crack of dawn, seven days a week and create these delectable treats better than any high class pastry chef, ever could. This shop has to be one of the cleanest, freshest shops, I have ever experienced and I highly recommend it to people in the Southern California area.

This is Mike, the owner, he is the coolest.

mmm mm mmmm

oh round cake sprinkle donuts, how I adore theeeeee.

What makes this place extraordinary is it's large selection and flavors, not only of donuts but of their signature specialties. They have so many different kinds of croissants/pastries that are out of this world, ranging from traditional flavors to jalapeno ham and cheddar croissants, cream cheese and fruit filled and the list goes on. Two of my favorites that I always get from here, are their turkey and cheese croissant and their version of a pig in a blanket, warmed up of course ;) (photos and descriptions below). Seriously, these items are to die for and are super affordable as well. I always have to have a savory and a sweet, so my tab usually includes these few things (just for an example):

Small coffee

Orange juice (if I'm feeling special n_n)

Donut

Turkey and cheese croissant (or) Pig in a blanket...

and I never...NEVER...pay more than 4 dollars for everything.

UH-MAZING.
