Local faves like Sidecar Donuts, Randy’s, and Dunkin’ are giving away donuts, merchandise, and prizes this Friday.
National Donut Day is back on June 5, and some of the Westside’s favorite spots from Santa Monica to Venice are rolling out free pastries, custom merchandise, and surprise giveaways.
Whether you want a completely free treat without spending a dime or you are looking to unlock secret prizes through your phone, here is exactly where to go on the Westside this Friday:
Sidecar is turning the holiday into a raffle through its rewards app. If you join their loyalty program and buy anything in-store or through the app on Friday, you will automatically unlock a surprise reward. The mystery prizes include free donuts, free drinks, or custom swag packs.
The iconic local chain is handing out one free classic donut to every single in-store customer between 6 a.m. and noon on Friday. Even better: If your legal name is Randy, bring your ID to score a free branded cup or a sticker sheet. They are also debuting their new June specials on Friday, which include a Pride flag donut, a mango-Tajín donut, and mango lemonade. (Note: The deal isn’t valid at airport locations).
If you want a donut without spending a single cent, head here. Krispy Kreme is giving away one free donut of your choice to any customer who walks through the door on Friday—no purchase required. If you want to bring some back to the office, you can also grab a dozen Original Glazed donuts for $2 when you buy any regular-priced dozen.
Over at the Venice Beach shop on Windward Avenue, the giveaways are tied to the brand’s “Fan Club” loyalty app. Just sign up using the link in their social media bios, keep an eye on your inbox, and you can redeem a completely free donut on Friday. The Venice location is open from 7 a.m. until midnight, making it a great stop for late-night cravings.
Marking 16 years of celebrating the holiday, Dunkin’ is giving away a free classic donut with the purchase of any beverage on Friday. They have also teamed up with the lifestyle brand Stoney Clover Lane for a limited-edition merchandise drop if you want to pick up some gear with your morning coffee.
Local Tip: Because lines get notoriously long and popular flavors sell out fast, plan to head out early to make sure you grab your freebies before supplies run out.
