Small joint to get your delicious donuts and sandwiches love me a fat tuna sandwich or break fast sandwich they are very good as well good service the staff is very sweet so if you want a bomb sandwich check them out really melts in your mouth ??????

I've lived down the street from this donut place for so long and I can't believe I haven't reviewed it! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I am in love with the breakfast croissant! I try to get it every weekend. Their croissant is so thick and buttery. They put the sauce on there with some egg and ham. And it's a big sandwich! They always got fresh donuts and since recently they started staying open late.

This Friday morning went to go have me a breakfast croissant sandwich I usually cook at home but it's Friday going have me something that Iike right I order my sandwich from this place and instead of a croissant baster gave wonder bread I could of made that myself at home I open my sandwich here at work and I seen my sandwich I was like what dam jerk and he even gave my sandwich to some other guy when I order if that guy would of taken off with my sandwich I would told the owner your fault pay attention not

This is a soul food place. I surely enjoyed this soul food sport. The food is great and plentiful. Good service. Lots of parking, and all the customers are hungry and happy. I got so much food in my order I had to carry out half. We enjoyed and had a great time.

I ordered her because of a special. Upon arrival they are very busy and overwhelmed. It's a husband,wife and son about 13 yrs old. The young boy was making the donut counter. The wife on the grill making sandwiches and croissants, the husband at the register. I show the boy my order and he gets his mom. She says we have no order and just walks away. She goes back to the grill and I give her her minute. After she doesn't come back I say are you not going to help me? So the husband comes over and fills my o

I'm not a donut fan, but I do have cravings once in a blue moon. Today, I stopped by to get 2 dozens to bring to work. I love that they are open early in the morning. And everything is so fresh at 0500 am. The lady was so nice and cheerful. Since I don't really know what to get, I just asked her to just mix it up, variety. The coworkers thought it was really good and fresh.

This little shop was my favorite part of visiting California. What an amazing breakfast sandwich I had and what amazing donuts she makes. They are the most fresh, fluffy and delicious donuts I?ve have ever had. I requested that she trade out my bagel bun on my sandwich into a donut instead and man was the sandwich was out of the world. Also such a sweet and genuine lady behind the counter made the experience all the better. This place will be on my mind until I?m able to visit LA again

Great donuts and a nice ?? hostess!

Didn't even get to try the donuts because I placed an order on the 18th, had it confirmed twice, but about 12 hours before I was supposed to get delivery on the 25th, my order was canceled due to the distance. I understand the issue, but to wait so late to cancel & leave me scrambling for a new catering order with 12 hours to figure it out is extremely frustrating. Won't order from here again.

Donuts and sandwiches are great!!! But just tried their oatmeal for the first time pretty good way to start the day

Donuts and stuff are great but witnessing the Asian lady being so rude and disrespectful to an elderly man of color was absolutely disgusting. All he needs was assistance with a scratcher ticket and she was extremely rude about it. Making comments saying if you don?t know how to use them don?t play it was absolutely rude unnecessary and disrespectful. Especially since folks of color are your main customer! We actually tried to talk her down to not be so mean and rude and she kept on and on to the point I ga

My first time visiting. I don't frequent donut shops often and even at places I'm familiar with, I tend to spend a little while going over the menu. No other customers were in there when me and my mom entered. But the Asian guy at the counter was subtly rushing us to hurry up and order. He was rude from the time we ordered to our transaction over nothing. I didn't tip him because he didn't deserve a tip. The way he spoke to me and my mom made me feel less than and wondering what about us made him treat us i

I was looking for a place that was close to me for cronuts because we travel about 30 minutes away for them and this place is 10 min away. The ham cheese and jalapeno croissant is so delicious!!! The man who is working is here is really nice as well. 10/10

The place was very clean...had an "A" rating. Had a good selection of fast foods..including doughnuts, sandwiches. drinks &(boba). I was with a friend that was getting a Boba drink so I can't evaluate their foods. My friend liked the Boba drink...

Great service! Good donuts and sandwiches! Loved the iced coffee as well!

They got bacon donuts.. Great flavors

They have good Doughnuts but they need to listen to phone orders correctly! I placed 3 phone orders and I keep asking for sandwiches on BREAD! I guess they think a croissant is Bread! That's my only ISSUE!

Its good, but the male makes better sandwiches than one of females. They can be busy at times, and will take fastest care of solely donut buyers. Great donuts!!

Great donut shop, staff is friendly, parking is no problem... I LOVE their Chocolate Bacon Bar, very yummy & crispy... They also have fun donuts(cereal, bacon, unicorn, candy bar etc & Croissant donuts)... You can also get your Winning Lotto here... They also have smoothies & bobas, along with breakfast sandwiches.

I love it's at 4am like they say the early bird catches you no the people the nicest they have a happy vibe there very polite and always catch them with a smile thank you for your kindness

The employees are soooooooo rude. Especially nick! My kids always want donuts but then feel uncomfortable when the employees ask them "what they want" and roll their eyes, these are children!!!! Have some respect..its juat sad to see one of my favorite childhood donut shops totally change from being great to straight HORRIBLE !!!

Such an awesome place for donuts. So fresh and so many different variety of flavors. They always have a cool area to sit and enjoy the donuts with a TV and they sell lottery as well.

I'm a Randy's donut kind of girl, but these are pretty good. Love the hot chocolate! The staff is very friendly. Lots of regular customers.

I love little family donuts store. they have the best fresh muffin and coffee in town and the owners are very friend , and nice people too. i will come back again.

Great family business. They greet you with a smile. Good donuts, ham and cheese croissants, and their breakfast croissants are delish. Recommended.

Thanx For The Extra Donuts. Nice Lovely Lady. Thank You.

Nick and the staff is the best in the mornings ! The doughnuts are always fresh , and the sandwiches are "meals" ! There's nothing like it !

Love this place i get a ham egg and cheese croissant and its so delicious its freshly made with real fresh cracked eggs i rather get breakfast here than any fast food breakfast

way too much butter on my bagel. asked for a new one and the lady yelled at me. really disappointed i was going to bring my family here.

Great donuts even at closing time, they have a great selection and always tastes fresh. They also make breakfast and lunch type sandwiches and a selection of coffees and boba teas

Good doughnuts, owners always serve you with a smile.

Great breakfast place with hot sandwiches in addition to the donuts and coffee. They care about their customers.

The donut holes were the best I?ve had! Coming from Ohio nothing is as good as this!

Very nice staff who sells great food and always has a kind word every time I visit.

This place is really discussing. Flies everywhere! The manager is very disrespectful to the security that's works on the premises. If it was up to me I would shut down the place.

DISAPPOINTED. I USED TO GO HERE BECAUSE THEY HAD THE FRESHEST DONUTS. RECENTLY THEY STARTED SELLING DAYS OLD DONUTS. SAD BECAUSE THEY REALLY WERE THE BEST!

Great donuts and very friendly service. Need better coffee and condiments.

They got really good cronuts. They open at 3am but if you want a cronut show up after 4am

Best doughnuts ever. They also make very good breakfast sandwiches.

Love the fresh squeezed juice and the cronuts are great. That's a a croissant made like a donut

Breakfast sandwiches!!!!! I love their bagel breakfast sandwichesssss!!! But.... a phone order might be tricky to place.

Great coffee and apple fritters. I come here at least twice a week before heading to classes @ Cal State Dominguez Hills.

I love that they open so early! Their roast beef sandwich is the best!

Great vegan doughnuts ????
