B C's Donuts

As one of what may as well be a thousand Donut shops in Southern California it would be a difficult task to describe anything that makes B.C. Donuts “different,” but since 1987 the family owned shop at 2525 East Foothill Boulevard has been serving the residents of Pasadena fried Dough at a fair price starting at 5am daily. No-frills in a good way, cleanly but not “fancy” and cash-only for orders under $10, it was in a white bag that six Donuts were deposited on Thursday, first bites of Blueberry Cake warm and moist while the Buttermilk Bar found Glaze penetrating a few Centimeters beneath the exterior that fries up crisp and oilless. Serving a good variety, Yeast Rings topped with buttery Crumble light and sweet, B.C.’s Cruller unfortunately trends a bit too greasy while Devil’s Food and a Sour Cream Old Fashioned are equal to or better than other mom n’ pop shops.
