DK'S DONUTS & BAKERY
The 2020 documentary The Donut King spotlighted how the Cambodian immigrant community played a role in the development of southern California's doughnut shops: about 80 percent are Cambodian-owned.
DK's is part of that story. Founded in 1981 by Kong and Chuong Lee, refugees who escaped the Khmer Rouge, this Santa Monica staple is famous for its croissant-doughnut hybrid. The Ube doughnut, with purple cream cheese, toasted coconut, bacon, and pistachio, is another standout.
