Customer Reviews

SOOOOOO GOOD <3 support local business :)

The crown jewel of mid city. The breakfast here will become your ritual. Best iced coffee and donuts in Los Angeles

It?s an absolute treat to go here on mornings when I take the Crenshaw bus route to work. They always smile and greet me like an old friend whenever I come here ever since I left my thermos on the second time I was there and they held it for me for about three weeks until I returned for another visit. It was such an act of kindness, I?ve come back regularly ever since for their terrific donuts and pastries. ???????

This is one of the best local donut shops in LA! Their donuts are perfectly fluffy, light, and delicious. The owners are super nice - they were out of coconut raised donuts, but they offered to get some made for me right away. The prices are pretty great as well, about $18 for a dozen donuts and a dozen donut holes. Definitely check this place out if you?re in the area!

Breakfast sandwiches rocked! Fluffy eggs. Proper grill on the croissant. Donuts were great, too. Highly recommend.

Come by et donuts, 5 stars, they have amazing food and amazing service definitely recommend to come check this place out

LOVE this place! Truly a gem in the community and a to-go stop for anyone needing to pick up a quick breakfast, lunch, & treat for an affordable price. The owners help everyone everyday with a smile and start to feel like family the more you visit. I recommend the turkey croissant sandwich (#7) and the donut holes!

"Extra Terrific" is the perfect name for this local gem. When I first came here I had the turkey croissant sandwhich and was amazed at just how delicious it was. Packed with veggies and meat, i didnt even know turkey sandwhiches could be that good! I quickly became a regular, coming back multiple times for the turkey sandwhich. I eventually started branching out because their menu is expansive! I tried their breakfast burritos, and they were incredible! I've now moved on to trying the breakfast sandwiches,

?????? THIS IS THE BEST ON THE WEST????ALWAYS FRESH N FLAVORFUL ???? Just ask n U Shall have !!! ??????????????

Delicious donuts mama & papa shop affordable and very nice staff :)

Best donuts in LA. Easily. Awesome service and delicious food. Their glazed is the best I've ever had. Anywhere! Ignore the overpriced and mediocre mega-corporation spot across the street. Support local businesses!!

Delicious treats from this excellent establishment and extremely kind/hardworking individuals

This place gets 5 stars because the husband and wife couple who own this shop are the nicest and most pleasant people. They work very hard from the very early morning, but have a great smile of appreciation for all the customers who visit their shop.

The staff are very nice. I?ve bought multiple items there on different occasions. Thai iced tea, smoothies, coffee cakes, blueberry muffins and glazed donuts. But there?s a similar taste to everything!!!??? It?s not just my taste buds either. When I buy things for others they also comment that everything kinda tastes the same ??.

This place makes really good sandwiches. My favorite is hot pastrami and Tuna. However all their sandwiches are so good. Made fresh and with care. If you live near the corner of Venice and Crenshaw.. this is a must! They have bomb breakfasts burritos. The best part is they dont over charge like most places, go check it out youll know what i mean ?? You can get a Sandwich with a drink under 10.00

We consistently will walk past FOUR other donut shops to get to this one. Hands-down the best glazed donut I have ever had, and the NICEST family/ team that runs the place. Their sweet (pickled?) jalape?o slices on sandwiches are the BEST. My day is always better after going to Extra Terrific!!

Hidden jewel. Family from cambodia owned shop, run more than 30 years. Quality menu at good price. Also you can order their item in uber. We must support good local businesses in these times.

Amazing fresh pressed Juices! Favorite corner spot for lunch

Very Friendly People & Great Donuts & coffee!

The donuts are warm and fluffy and full of flavor. This may be a small whole in the wall but the quality of their donuts and sandwiches beats the chains and franchisees hands down. If you love quality delicious scrumptious treats and eats this is where you want to be.

It's my favorite place to eat the ham & cheese croissant for the last 20 years!!!

Very small store, but very cozy. The service is excellent .The staff are very kind and smile a lot. The donuts are soft and delicious, and we'll priced go here for. Great donut. You'll want another and another.

Not friendly at all.

(Translated by Google) There are KFC, Dunkin Donuts, and Taco Bell across the street, but when I was traveling and wanted to go to a place I couldn't eat in Korea, I came across this place that was clearly visible on Google Maps. They are as friendly as usual and the bread is delicious. The glaze is done properly. The roast beef sandwich was a little too salty for my taste, but this is America! It's very delicious.
