Customer Reviews

A great maple one fashioned donut. Also came with a couple free donut holes, which were very good; maybe even better than the old fashioned. Seems to be a real locals spot with a lot of regulars and the couple who runs it is very nice.

Friday, November 8th, 2024 2:46 PM - 3:01PM The various assortments of donuts are organized and colorful. There are some Pokemon, panda bear and red white and blue sprinkle among other donuts and choices of hot coffee and smoothies too. The donuts are delicious and the place wasn't very busy during the 2'o clock hour I was there. The 2 employees who run and I think own the shop were kind and helped me with my order. I also asked for a cup of water since it was hot outside and it took me over half an hour to

Loved the Halloween donuts. Super cute! The maple bars are also soooo yummy. The donut holes were very soft and crispy. My office loved them ??

This donut spot is low-key. Looking from the outside it doesn't look like much, but once you walk in. You are mesmerized by all the colorful and unique custom donuts they have. I normally shop next door for chicken and decided to try out the donuts. Let me start by saying the donuts are fresh and very tasteful. I also heard the boba is great here too. Parking can be a bit difficult, but there's extra parking in the rear of the shopping center. The owners are kind and humble. The donuts are perfect for

I had a ham and cheese croissant which was delicious. I also bought a bunch of different types of donuts. Everyone was excellent! Service was great!! Definitely would go back!

AMAZING DONUTS OH MY GOD! The dough is so fluffy, and they only cost $1.50. The lady who served us was very sweet. GO HERE FOR DONUTS FR ??

I've been coming here for a few months, the lady helping at the front is so sweet! Highly recommend their taro boba too

This is a small shop for donuts and coffee. People there say ?Hello, how can I serve you?? and they do it. Delicious food and kind people in a small donuts shop. Every Saturday morning stop!

Stumbled on this place one day with my boys and marveled at the beautiful custom donuts they had made. Brought my boy in to pick out some donuts for his birthday party and got the beauties in the photo below. A hidden gem nestled into a prime example of why people hate strip malls. Worth the journey.

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE !! This place has Very Bad Customer Service. Wednesday I had ordered a Tuna Croissant sandwich, when I got home the Croissant was dry n tasted old , could have been the Tuna as well, but the sandwich just not taste right. I went back Thursday and they would not give me another sandwich or my money back ( I had bad donuts here before but never said nothing ) I had never had a problem like this before. I will never go to this Donut shop ever again . Customer Service is a Bi

Everyone thinks their doughnut shop is the best. I know this donut shop is the best. It is a hidden gem in West Hills. I would go nowhere else for donuts, a delicious bagel sandwich or my lotto tickets. Don?t miss out try this place people that run it are super nice and they?re a good, hard working local West Hills family.!!!

The staff there are very kind, almost everything is homemade, prices are cheap. I've been here to get boba, and they were very kind! My dad got a donut and I wanted one, so they gave my dad an extra donut for free I think. I recommend you come here, they have amazing service and the food is amazing!

Great donut shop great service everything tasted amazing! I got an assortment box Thank you! I highly recommend

Great neighborhood shop with good coffee, donuts and breakfast sandwiches with friendly service.

By far they have the freshest, best donuts in the SFV. Sat inside, it?s a typical donut shop but they are so good, I go every time I?m nearby.

Don't waste your money here. The donuts were cooked in rancid oil. Also very old and stale. Tried to let them know but was met with anger and frustration as if I fried the donuts. Strange how people react when they know they're wrong. I'm sticking to Royal donuts on Fallbrook and victory

Great donuts that are always fresh. This place is very low key but the donuts are as good (or better) than most other places in the valley. Great service too!!! The parking can be a little tricky at time, but there is also a lot in the back. Enjoy!

This is the best donut shop imo! I've been visiting this donut shop for over 30 years since I was in grade school (2nd grade or 7 years old). I highly recommend this donut shop for those who enjoy donuts, very nice employees (owners), and a relaxing atmosphere!

Best donut shop around - must try their apple fritter. And people , if we can buy donuts & coffee, at least throw a dollar in the tip jar.

Always the best! Wonderful donuts, coffee, bagels, sandwiches, boba, smoothie and more. Try a bagel with fresh avacado & tomato, or a number 3 add tomato's and jalape?os and their coffee is great also!. Business is run by a friendly family.

Delicious, affordable donuts from a lovely family. I?ve been coming here since I was a child and it hasn?t changed one bit.

Best donuts. Service use to be great but now it?s the worst. My friend told me they had a bad experience there. So when I went I experienced the same bad thing. I was shocked but what can you say or do I guess nothing.

This is honestly the best place to get donuts and boba. I come here often to get a green tea boba. The workers are friendly, and so is the owner. They always know I come for the green tea boba because I'm a usual customer. I recommend this place to my friends and family. :)

Love Their Donuts Every time we are in the area, this is a must stop for us. A good selection of pastries and food. The staff is very friendly.

I love it here. They treat me with a warm smile and friendly atmosphere and with great donuts& shakes. I always leave a tip and at times they give~!?!?!
