Dunkin' Donuts

Hailing from the east coast (and a source of contempt for many Angelenos), Dunkin' Donuts first LA store is in Santa Monica, where it sells (arguably sugar-laden) coffee and donuts to get people going in the morning. Ask for a "regular" and you'll get a coffee loaded with cream and sugar—that's just how they do it. Donuts range from classic glazed to Bavarian cream, and they have breakfast staples like egg sandwiches and hash browns for when you need something a little more savory.
