Primo’s Donuts Opens This Saturday In Westwood

It was only back in April of last year when I told you about the devastating closure of local landmark Stan’s Donuts at 10948 Weyburn in Westwood.  But all is not lost.  Another longstanding legend, Primo’s Donuts, has taken over the space.  Primo’s has been an LA institution on Sawtelle for over 60 years. This week the good people of Primo’s reached out to me to let me know that they will be throwing open their doors this Saturday, September 18th, and from 12pm to 1pm they will be handing out free “buttermilk bites”.  Look for a menu of “espresso-based beverages and ice-cream donut sandwiches”, as well as well as classic raised donuts, and vegan and gluten-free options in a fresh, fully remodeled space.  We wish them the best of luck.

Primo’s Donuts Replacing Stan’s In Westwood

When I let you know about the closure of iconic Stan’s Donuts at 10948 Weyburn in Westwood, I heard from many devastated locals who grew up eating the well-known sugary treats.  Now it looks as though another old school donut shop is setting up housekeeping at that historic address on the corner.  Window paper is informing us that Primo’s Donuts is taking over.  Primo’s has been an LA institution on Sawtelle for over 60 years.

Stan’s Donuts Calls It Quits In Westwood

I’ve been hearing from horrified fans that, after 55 years, beloved pastry purveyor Stan’s Donuts has permanently closed in Westwood.  A gracious note from Stan Berman on the front thanks patrons for their “support and friendship”.  It appears the decision to close was in the works anyway, but COVID-19 sped things up.
