Donut King in Culver City

What makes us eat the things we know that are not good for us? Donuts. It's difficult to say no. I was in search of a little breakfast the other day. I past by this donut shop in a fairly non-descript mini mall on Sepulveda. Donut King, 3970-2 Sepulveda Blvd LA CA didn't seem very impressive at first but I was nearing that point in the morning where my sugar level was hitting empty which in turn makes my decision making poor, so i walked in. I ordered a chocolate old fashion, a toasted onion bagel with cream cheese and an orange juice. The bagel and the donut came with little donut holes, which turned out to be fresh and airy-puffy. These delicate little pastries, although free sides, where awesome. The donut was not impressive. old fashions are not time forgiving and mine tasted like it had been on the shelf for a while. The bagel on the other hand was really interesting. It was a cross between a bagel and a vietnamese pressed sandwich. It was good, toasty-crunchy and filling but not a traditional bagel experience. What won me over was the clientele. Part of eating out is people watching and there was a good energy steady stream of people, most of which were regulars. So the banter between the servers and the customers was colorful. The servers were Asians and one Latina. Good Morning America was playing on the television. There was something really theatrical about this place.
