The Santa Monica donut tour is our first foray into sunny Southern California. This tour celebrates all things donuts, sunshine, and beachfront fun. Our tour begins at a California institution, Randy’s Donuts. You may know Randy’s from their many appearances across TV, movies, and music videos, specifically for their iconic giant donut. After we’ve tried some of their amazing classics, we’ll move on to our next location, Sidecar Doughnuts. If you are looking for amazing, artisanal donuts - you’ve come to the right place. Our third location is a slightly unexpected stop, but still quintessentially California for churros. And our last stop may change based on the group or the weather, so we won’t ruin the surprise, but the two options we’ve picked out are both equally fantastic.

We have done multiple donut tours and this one was one of the best! We had some of the best donuts we have ever had in the country and our tour guide, Chad, was awesome. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed it!

Chad really goes above and beyond on his tours. His recommendations for donuts and the desserts are great but he also tailors it to what the client enjoys. The stories Chad tells are entertaining and it was a memorable conversation and experience!
Fun walk and donut tour.

Just finished the Delicious Donut Tour and it was amazing. the walk was nice and the weather couldn’t be beat. The donuts were really good and we were introduced to some unique ones. Charity was a very fun host. She had us cracking up the whole time. She went the extra mile by provided a cutting board, utensils and wet wipes so we could have a great customer experience. She was telling fun facts about the places we visited. We are looking forward to trying more of these tours because of this experience. Thanks Charity!
