The best doughnut shop in California, according to Yelp’s ‘Elite Squad’

(NEXSTAR) – Doughnuts are one of the few items that people often purchase by the dozen. And, as such, they’re 12 times more disappointing when they’re not quite as fresh as they should be.Knowing this, Yelp’s team of analysts have attempted to steer us away from any regrettable crullers, jelly sticks or Boston crème doughnuts by compiling a list of the “best” doughnut shops in every state.Watch: Burglary attempt at Chicago bakery does not go as plannedThe list, released just ahead of National Doughnut Day on June 7, was also determined using data submitted by Yelp’s “Elite Squad” team — a group which Yelp chose for their passionate, detailed reviews. And don’t worry: These “Elites” can’t be swayed with some of the bells and whistles often seen at flashier doughnut shops, according to Yelp.“While trendy flavors and toppings are always popular, Yelp Elites know that top donuts are made from well-tested dough recipes, sometimes perfected over generations,” the site says.Ready to grab a box of fresh, peer-reviewed doughnuts?
