Introducing our first venture into the sunny golden state of Southern California - the Santa Monica donut tour, an homage to confectionery, seaside enjoyment, and radiant sun. We initiate this expedition at Randy’s Donuts, a renowned Californian establishment known for its ubiquitous presence in TV shows, films, and music videos, particularly its gargantuan and emblematic donut. After sampling some of their exemplary originals, we proceed to Sidecar Doughnuts, the epitome of impressive, craft donuts. Next on our itinerary is a slightly offbeat yet distinctively Californian spot for churros. The final destination may vary depending on the group’s preference or weather conditions, and to keep an element of suspense, we won’t disclose it ahead of time, though rest assured that whatever we select will be fantastic.
