LA’s Famous Strawberry Doughnuts | Legendary Eats
Jim Nakano has owned The Donut Man in Glendora, California, since 1972. The shop is famous for its fresh strawberry doughnuts, a seasonal menu item that consists of fresh strawberries with homemade glaze stuffed in a round doughnut. The doughnuts are only served from February to September, and visitors drive from all over the state to taste them for themselves. Insider's Caroline Aghajanian visited the doughnut shop to see how the doughnut is made, the story behind it, and try it out for herself.

omg I’m in love- I don’t care what people say what’s bad about it XD I love strawberries & donuts!
I’m happy that my uncles and many other people’s favorite doughnut shop got here.
I live nearby and always drive by with my family. My husband said he wanted to try one so last week, Thursday, feb 13th, I randomly went out at 10:40pm and decided to drop by since they are open late. Apparently everyone else had the same thought. The line was long at 11pm mid-week. I got jelly and the strawberry donut. All delicious!
I’mma have to get some for my sister one day. She loves strawberries.

What’s so good about this is the jam. It’s not so sweet like you would think the strawberries and the donut speak for themselves. Truly unlike a strawberry donut I’ve had.
Doughnut: I’m drowning in strawberry please save me!
I gotta say, as a person that’s been there several times, their chocolate bars are soooo long and so fluffy and crunchy. They’re so good at their job Chocolate bar time stamp: 2:41

Hey I was there 2 weeks ago. The donuts is super delicious!!!
My friend took me here last year...at first I saw how messy people outside were getting with all that gel and strawberries around mouths and dripping on their shirts I Said ew I wouldn't eat like that An hour later I ate 2 of the strawberries donuts , believe me when I say I ate like an animal.
That donut is thicker than my thighs when I sit down
