This place has the most delicious and fresh donuts! You can definitely taste and smell the quality. Extremely fair prices as well. This place is worth driving 10 or 15 minutes out of your way for. Best donuts in the IE I?d say.

I want to express my sincere graduate for your donation of donuts on January 27th. Thanks to your contribution to the Lady Wolves Girls Basketball Team we have raised more money for our team. Your generosity is what gives these young girls the resources and support they need. Thank you again for your delicious donuts and we appreciate your support!

Lots of your standard donut options you?d come to expect from a donut shop but also with a good amount of donuts with very cool finishes with candy, marshmellows, and gummy worms. There?s also a lot of drinks, thai teas, coffees, and smoothies as well The employee that helped us was extremely chill and friendly. Down to earth guy. Overall, solid trip and the thai tea, strawberry banana smoothie, and chocolate sprinkle donuts were all ????

What is the point to go all the way to Pomona to get good fruit donut? They have the best fruit donut, specially strawberry. It is a truly hidden gem place.

This was the best customer service I have ever received!! I called asking is there were any strawberry donuts left and the women told that she was all out and offered to make me as many as I wanted!!
