General Porpoise (CLOSED)

One of Seattle's cutest doughnut shops migrated south, settling comfortably in the Palisades with coffee and curd-stuffed sweets galore. General Porpoise is L.A.'s first concept from James Beard Award-winning chef Renee Erickson, and brings us rows and rows of sugar-coated yeast doughnuts freshly baked daily. The flavors rotate, but you can usually find a few of Erickson's classic fillings: vanilla custard, lemon curd, blueberry jam and hazelnut cream, among others. Enjoy with coffee from Seattle and Carolinas roasters, for best results.
