About Knotted

About Cafe Knotted — Artisanal Donuts & Coffee in Los Angeles

Cafe Knotted began in Seoul in 2017 with the simple goal of creating desserts that bring people joy. What started as a small café known for its cream-filled donuts has grown into one of Korea’s most recognized dessert brands.

Today, Knotted has over 40 locations across Korea and has expanded to Los Angeles, first at Westfield Century City and now in the Arts District. We continue to share our signature donuts, premium coffee, and friendly atmosphere with new communities while staying true to where we started.

WHY KNOTTED

Knotted was created to make everyday moments a little happier. We value quality, consistency, and thoughtful details in everything we do. From the design of our spaces to the taste of our donuts, our goal is to create an experience that feels warm, simple, and genuine.

Our Dough

Our dough is the foundation of what makes Knotted special. It’s crafted to be soft, airy, and balanced, with a texture that complements our fresh cream fillings. Each batch is made with precision to maintain the quality and consistency our customers know us for.

Made In-House

Every item at Knotted is made fresh in-house. Our donuts, fillings, and toppings are prepared daily by our team, ensuring every bite meets our standards of freshness and taste. We take pride in the care and time that goes into every step of the process.

Quality

We use only ingredients we trust and believe in: our coffee is brewed with beans from Stereoscope Coffee, a local Los Angeles roaster; our matcha is sourced from Nekohama, using ceremonial-grade powder; every cream, glaze, and topping is made in small batches to ensure freshness.

From Seoul to Los Angeles, we remain committed to delivering quality desserts and coffee that reflect the care and passion behind the Knotted name.
