Donut Hut was voted by the public as the best donut shop in Burbank for 2024. The 2024 myBurbank’s Best contest featured over 200 categories in which the community nominated their favorite businesses. Donut Hut also won in the Best Donut Shop category in 2022 and 2023 and has been a fan favorite since its founding in the early 1980s.
Owner Bryan Sim continues the legacy of this family-run business in Burbank. “Donut Hut is a small-town donut shop that has served many generations of Burbankers,” says Sim. “I love that Burbank has a small-town feel. It’s safe, the schools are great and the people are friendly,” he adds.
Donut Hut is a retro yellow and red corner shop in the Magnolia Park Merchants District that is open 24 hours a day. The shop has windows on two sides so you can watch the donuts being made right in front of you.
“I love the French donuts, the double chocolate donut, the apple donuts and the butterflies,” Sim said. Besides his favorites, some must-try treats include the new blueberry donuts, pistachio almond donuts, pumpkin spice, old-fashioned blueberry pie and the peanut butter jelly donut. You can also find all the traditional favorites at the store, from bars to jelly donuts to yeast and glaze donuts.
In 2016, Donut Hut served as the inspiration for a painting Bob Dylan created for his collection: The beaten path. The series was the songwriter’s first collection of paintings depicting the American landscape. While traveling the streets and landscapes of the US, Dylan painted scenes and storefronts, including our own Burbank donut shop, Donut Hut. “I stay away from the mainstream and travel the back roads, free-born style. I believe the key to the future lies in the remnants of the past,” Dylan said of his art in an interview.
Donut Hut is located at 2025 W Magnolia Blvd., so stop by and try the best and most iconic donuts in town.
