Perhaps not surprisingly, as early as 1909, donuts, or rather "doughnuts" were a going concern. Per 1909CD listing, doughnuts were manufactured by the Pendleton Brothers (Ernest and L.T.) at
845 McGarry Street (near the produce market dtla).

Harold Butler and Richard Jezak opened Danny's Donuts in Lakewood, CA in 1953. In 1955, after Jezak's departure from the then-6-store chain, Butler created and changed the concept a year later in 1956, shifting it from a donut shop to a coffee shop with store #8. Danny's Donuts was renamed Danny's Coffee Shops and changed its operation to 24 hours. In 1959, to avoid confusion with Los Angeles restaurant chain Coffee Dan's, Butler changed the name from Danny's Coffee Shops to Denny's Coffee Shops. Two years later, in 1961, Denny's Coffee Shops was simply renamed Denny's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denny's
