24 hours a day, fresh donuts ?? and the best ice cream ?? hands down. I even bring our out of town guests to get sandwiches ?? for a midnight meal. 2025

Seriously I have to say they have some of the best donuts I've tried out here in LA and I've been to quite a few!

It looks like this place is never recovered from covid. They still have all the plastic up which makes everything look, unwelcomed. Also they charge $75 extra for using your card.

They make great apple critters and other donuts.

Friendly staff pretty good food more than donuts. Everything is made to order

very friendly service!! all their drinks are delicious especially their thai tea

There's use the always a men's congregation gathering it at the donut shop on Saturdays and Sundays but other than that everybody who works at the donut shop is friendly Great place to go if you need a snack before you go and do what you need to do.

The cashier is very nice, she has great customer service and the donuts are amazing.

This donut shop is one of my favorite to go to fo r lottery tickets and donuts. The family that run the shop are nice. I usually buy a box of 6 donuts because it's a good deal and they give you a free donut.

Very cool spot! I ordered a large coffee and maple donut. She let's you add your own cream and sugar. Great place.

A great a small business in Gardena. Their breakfast sandwiches and donuts are so good. Employees are known to the community they're warm and friendly

This doughnut shop has been around a long time but its extremely mediocre. There is nothing wrong with being a shrewd business owner but this place won't give you an inch, extra pickles on your sandwich? NOPE. Want a bigger cup for your double scoop ice cream? NOPE you have to get this tiny Dixie cup or pay a dollar extra. Skip this place. They will try to squeeze every last penny out of you for a mediocre product. No WiFi, No electrical plugs, and if you go before 12noon the place is filled with retired ra

This has been the local "starbucks" long before Starbucks owner was most likely born. Lol The local hollypark veterans go there and talk about sports, news, local info for over 40 years. I have childhood memories of my grandfather walking us here with our saved up pennies to cash them in for donut holes and cola in the glass bottle. They are remodeling the entire corner after 35 years. Change is good but I wonder what took it so long. Donut hold come free now with the purchase of one donut ranging from $1 a

They are great in the neighborhood for a long time. They always give free donuts with purchase. I go 2 or 3 times a week. Always fresh. Nice people.

I love that this place serves ny favorite ice-cream strawberry cheese cake and it actually has the pieces of cheesecake in it. Super friendly staff and donuts are always fresh.

Absolutely the best, freshest donuts around. I just tried their sandwich too. It is a basic sandwich nothing fancy. But, when I say it was good it's an understatement. Try it.
