Welcome to

Glendora

Glendora is Route 66's first city in Los Angeles County — a leafy foothill town with a beautifully preserved Route 66 walking district along Glendora Avenue. The Donut Man (1972), famous for its strawberry donuts, is a Route 66 pilgrimage stop.

Classic Coffee and a handful of locally beloved Route 66 cafes line the village, making Glendora a charming LA-area Route 66 break before the urban core.
